By changing the ground into mud and creating a swamp, the user can sink his enemy deep underground. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from there. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp. When fighting a great number of enemies or having to face gigantic creatures, this is an extremely effective technique.
This jutsu can also be used to trap foes in rock walls by making so that they become trapped in it in a manner similiar to quicksand. [2]
