The user releases sharp wooden spikes from their body. They can be used in two ways: as a short-range melee weapon or as a projectile. In the second case, the branches retain the ability to grow, and the user can activate them at a distance. The spikes then pierce the target, and the branches continue to grow inside the body. Usually such a strike leads to a fatal outcome.
The technique can also be performed through the Ten-Tails if control over the beast is strong enough.
