Symbols - What does heaven look like
Wood release
In Kishimoto’s manga series, Wood Release is a kekkei genkai of the Senju Clan.
By combining ‘earth’ and ‘water’-based energy, the Ninja [Ninjutsu and Ninpo] can produce trees or wooden objects from any surface.
The objects created with the Wood Release vary and range from a simple wall to a functioning copy of the user.
This is fiction.
But they are matched by Shinto legend and those legends match legends found in Greek myth. Daphne was turned into a bush.
And symbolically as we can see using the Chinese symbol system it has some very interesting connotations.
