Trivia

• Cutting, also called striking or cloning, is a method of plant propagation. It involves cutting off a piece of a plant, usually the stem or root, which is then put in an appropriate medium. If done properly, the cut piece will grow into a new plant, genetically identical to the plant it was cut from.
• Obito Uchiha also demonstrated use of this technique via the Ten-Tails' tails,^[3] after he, and Madara Uchiha strengthened their control over the beast by connecting themselves to its body with their Hashirama Senju's cells.^[4]
