Shōshiton

Shōshiton (Shining Branch Release) is a powerful nature transformation is which the user combines water, earth and yang chakra. This creates thin white branches that can rapidly grow and shrink at tremendous speeds. The user can make an entire forest of white branches and white leaves. The glowing white color is because of all of the extra yang chakra, although the yang chakra has already been transformed through his Myouton. Its usage is much like the Mokuton except in that it is less dense, sharper, harder, and it moves faster. It can also be directed into many shapes, such as houses, or bridges. This nature release is very versatile. With this ability, Guran can also control the tailed beasts. The most powerful ability of this release is that the branches can absorb the life energy out of anything pierced by it. This can either be used to extend the user's life force, heal the user, heal others, or can be used to grow and strengthen the branches.
