After preforming the required hand seals, the user creates an immense wooden Chinese dragon with the trunk of an elephant and boasts having an elongated and serpentine body that is longer than Naruto Uzumaki's Tailed Beast Mode, which can be used to constrict larger opponents. The dragon can then attack the intended target from a long range. According to Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju used to use this technique to restrain Kurama in the past. It also has the ability to absorb a tailed beast's chakra once it is bound.
Influence
The dragon created with this technique resembles a creature predominantly seen in Hindu mythology known as Makara. The myth surrounding this creature has spread throughout most of Asia, however, and in Chinese renditions of the creature it most resembles this one — a dragon with an elephant's trunk.
