After forming the required hand seals, the user creates a large statue-like creature out of wood. This humanoid creature has a full body and a oni-like face. It is generally created with a wooden dragon wrapped around its left arm and is generally used in battle as an avatar. This creature is powerful enough to catch an uncompressed Tailed Beast Ball fired by the Nine-Tails and clash against Madara Uchiha's final Susanoo.
Influence
This technique seems to be based upon Ryūtōki (竜燈鬼, Dragon-Lamp Demon), a creature from Japanese folklore, who is typically depicted as a small oni with a dragon coiled around its torso. Together with Tentōki (天燈鬼, Heavenly-Lamp Demon), the pair symbolise the power of the Shitennō to repel and defeat evil.
The Buddhist monk Kōben sculpted notable wooden statues of both Tentōki and Ryūtōki, which are each considered a National Treasure of Japan.
Trivia
- The dragon that encircles the torso of this creature is the same as that created by the Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique.
- When the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands technique was used, this creature was actually depicted sitting atop the statue's head.
