Wood Release: Creation of Kṣetrapālas

is a defensive maneuver created by Kurumi for the protection of her country against external threats. It consists of cultivating giant beings from the earth and wood, many of whom match the height of Yang Country's distinctive forests. Nevertheless, they are built with durability in mind, capable of withstanding powerful attacks on the part of hostile forces. Because she has imbued them with her Yin-Yang Release, they are very much sentient and intelligent beings. Notably they do not require food or other means of subsistence because of their Wood origins. Likewise, they can reform from the earth should they be destroyed, allowing them to wear down opponents. Otherwise, they are shown to use Wood Release on a rudimentary level, forming weapons and armor for the sake of doing battle. They are shown to reside in an isolated portion of Yang territory, a national secret that only Kuru is privy to. Serving as her ace when even if her own efforts require support. Thus speaking highly of their prowess in combat.
