Plant Release

The Plant release (草遁, Sōton) jutsu are techniques that fully minipulate plant life. Plant release is an advanced/alternate form of "Wood Release", just as "Blaze Release" is an advanced/alternate form of "Fire Release". These techniques are less focused on the use of Wood and more on Plants themselves, such as vines and flowers. The plants controlled through this release are capable of things they normally would not. Such as growing beyond their original size, becoming more powerful and influencial. Some plants used through this technique are even capable of inflicting Genjutsu on a target through chakra infused pollen or hallucinogens, which can be harder to break that normal Genjutsu since is also a byproduct of chemicals and not just chakra.

Kozurama Senju is the originator and currently the only known user of Plant release.
