Wood Release: Transformation


 * Hand Seals: Bird, Dog, Snake
 * Debut (Anime): Shippūden Episode 39
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 289

This jutsu is just like any other Transformation Technique, however, this variation of the Transformation Technique possess an elemental affinity, wood which can only be performed with someone possessing the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, so only Yamato and possibly Hashirama Senju. Yamato performs the necessary hand seals, then wood emerges and covers his entire body and a puff of smoke or chakra covers up the transformation. Once the jutsu is done, the transformation is complete. Since this is an advanced double element technique, it creates a far sturdier transformation.
