This technique utilises the power of the Wood Release to forcibly suppress the chakra of a tailed beast. To invoke this technique, it is necessary for the user or a jinchūriki to be in the possession of the Crystal Gem (結晶石, kesshōseki) that responds to the First Hokage's chakra. The user produces the "sit" (, suwaru) kanji in his palm, and by touching the tailed beast, or its host, with their hand, the user suppresses the chakra inside an area lined with ten pillars.[2] Hashirama is able to use technique without creating pillars and touching with his own palm.

Variations

  • Yamato uses same technique with different variety. He creates a series of wooden pillars, which are engraved with what resemble foo dog faces and have lit wicks on top of them. When Yamatoslams their palm on the ground, the wooden statues rush towards the target and absorb its chakra.
  • Yamato can also use technique with long range thanks to crystal gem. Whenever Naruto Uzumaki entered into a tailed form, the First Hokage's Necklace activated this technique to restrain him. It is unknown if the technique just restrains Naruto until Yamato is able to suppress the Nine-Tails' influence or if it suppresses the influence by itself as the Nine-Tails cancelled the technique by crushing the necklace.

Influence

The last part of this technique's name, "Kakuan Nitten Suishu" (廓庵入鄽垂手), comes from a famous series of short poems and accompanying images, called the Ten Bull Pictures (十牛図, Jūgyū-zu, Chinese: Shíniú-tú). The pictures and poems are intended to illustrate the stages of Zen discipline.

They were drawn by a twelfth-century Chinese Zen master called Kuòān (廓庵, Japanese: Kakuan, literally meaning: enclosed hermitage). The tenth poem talks about how the fully-enlightened herdsman returns to the city to help others reach enlightenment. This poem is called Rùchán Chuíshǒu (入鄽垂手, Japanese: Nitten Suishu), which can be translated as "entering society with bliss-bringing hands" (i.e. hands that teach how to reach enlightenment).

Trivia

  • When Hashirama does this technique, he does the hand seals Rat, Snake, Rat, Ox, Tiger.
