Wood Release: Wood Human Technique

After forming the required hand seals, the user creates a large statue-like creature out of wood which is strong enough to catch an uncompressed Tailed Beast Ball fired by the Nine-Tails.

Influence
This technique seems to be influenced by the Shinto kami,. He was originally killed by his rivals after a wooden log, held open by a wedge, snapped shut on him, before being revived by his mother. Later, Ōkuninushi fell in love with the daughter of Susanoo and battled Susanoo himself before becoming the ruler of Izumo.
