Wood vs. Plants

[Haihei]

This is a rather simple question to answer I suppose.

I just need clarifying

Are wood jutus just techniques that involve wood. Or would they also involve plants of anykind.

If so great.

If not, then would there be a "Wood" and "Plant" element?

I just need to know for a character I am developoing.

Thank you!

The wood element is a mix of earth and water style jutsu.

As seen when the First Hokage used the Mukoton style of jutsu, he created massive trees with branches and leaves and all. So I guess it could fall into the plant element, but creating life from nothing but chakra would be HIGHLY demanding and draining. Although with an S-class or Kage level character, you should be able to grow plants, so yes. Wood turns into Plant.

No, It depends what you mean. If you mean growing plants from like a tree, the grounds or controll plants that would defnintly be a plant. If you are growing a tree itself than growing the plants from that tree what you be wood.

[Haihei]

So, would it make sense to be like this?

Wood = Jutus that involve the use to trees.

Plant = Jutsus involving things such as grass, flowers, leaves, vines etc.

That seems to be what I am hearing and understaning. And it makes sense to me. But hey, I'm not the one in charge.

Ya in my opnion.

[Yoko]

Basically cross you stated what I stated...he has to use the wood to form the plants in some instances. That is what happened with the First.

But yes Haihei that is what you are looking at. Wood jutsu would be like the wood clone, and creating a gigantic mansion, not creating living things. The Mukoto clan is also revered for being able to bring something to life from chakra like a tree or plants.

[Haihei]

Okay.

And we don't have the wood element restricted to a clan, is that correct?

Because if we do I need to drastically revamp a character I've been working on... -_-'
