Sage Art: Gate of the Great God

Sage Art: Gate of the Great God is a sealing technique utilised by Hashirama Senju while in Sage Mode.

Usage
The user manifests a select number of massive red torii that fall down from above, in order to pin an intended target between the gate and the ground. The size and form of these torii, which are claimed to boast an absolute binding force, matches the target in which it is used against. Not only is the target arrested and unable to move even a finger, but the torii also blocks their will of opposing the technique and is thus rendered completely docile.

Hashirama was even able to use this technique to immobilise the Ten-Tails and it's jinchūriki. Hashirama can pile the torii atop one another in an attempt to increase their ability to immobilise the target. Despite these claims of absolute power, even the stacked variant was near instantly shattered by Obito wielding the concentrated power of the Ten Tails, suggesting such claims are only accurate when used on an opponent who only crudely hurls around their power like the Tailed Beasts.

Variants
The exact number and size of the torii involved in this technique can vary dependent upon what the user specifies:


 * : Creates ten torii that can be used to pin several individual targets simultaneously.
 * : Creates a single, large torii, intended to pin the target's neck beneath it, so as to immobilise their head. The target is imbued with natural energy to stop it from resisting.

Trivia

 * The 頭 kanji, used in the "Seal Head" variant of the technique, is also used as a counter for large animals.
 * In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, the colour of torii are grey instead of red, as portrayed in the manga and anime. This was corrected in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.
