With this jutsu, the user can make themselves disappear, allowing them to approach their target unnoticed. Once completed, a tree and roots will grow at the target's feet and restrict their movements. Once the opponent believes that they are captured, the user can then appear above their opponent from the tree's trunk and kill the target. In the Kurama clan filler arc of the anime, this jutsu seems to be quite versatile, with a wide range of variations on the standard nature theme. In addition to the disappearing and tree-growing effects of the jutsu, the user can produce flowers, seedpods, vines and multiple trees.

Trivia

 * Despite having various names, Kurenai has only said the name of this technique once, in anime, manga and games. This was in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, where she called it: "Genjutsu: Tree Binding Death."
