Ashi Release

The Ashi Release is unique to those with lineage of the Hasu Clan. It can only be used after achieving the Tsutsuji stage of the clan's Hanagan. It allows the user to manipulate plants- more specifically, reeds, roots, and vines, rather than wood- and for skilled individuals, to generate their own foliage out of chakra. The affinity for Ashi Release is exclusive to Hasu Clan members of Tsutagakure, and their descendants. It appears more prominently in males of the Hasu Clan.

Ashi Release naturally absorbs water and is resistant to lightning, but is overcome by fire and wind. When combined with Earth Release, the effects can be devastating on the target, but more taxing on the user.
