Wood Release: Hotei Technique

After performing the required hand seals, the user creates a number of gigantic wooden hands that erupt upward from beneath the ground, which encircle and then attempt to restrain a chosen enemy. The size of each of these hands can easily dwarf even a tailed beast.

Influences
This technique seems to be influenced by a Chinese folkloric deity,, also known as Hotei. He is almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the Laughing Buddha. In Japan, Hotei persists in folklore as one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Taoism.
