1 - NATO does not use this round for this ... close quarters combat ... purpose.
2 - For this purpose, NATO uses the SOST round which is the same caliber ... but a truly different animal. You obviously haven't had the slightest curiousity to learn the difference ... so I will, again, attempt to educate you on the topic.
The standard 5.56 NATO round is designed to tumble and fragment when hitting a human, thus disintegrating into several smaller projectiles causing disabling ... but far from always lethal ... wounds that are way more often than not survived. Compounding this, to hit another human at fragmentation speed at 100 yards and more requires a muzzle velocity of round mach 3. At this speed, and at close combat range, the round will pass a human ... assuming it misses bone ... leaving an extremely small and clean wound.
The SOST ... SPECIAL OPERATIONS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ... is an "OPEN TIP" design that incorporates a lead core copper clad front half of the projectile while the back half is solid copper rear half.
The result of this is that when the bullet hits the body, the lead will flatten out, increasing the round size from .223 caliber to 4 to 8 times that instead of disintegrating into BB'ish sized fragments. This flowering of the bullet from a SOST round is why the massive exit wounds are observed.
The SOST was developed because of the inherent short range deficiencies of the 5.56 NATO round. The standard round is an excellent choice for long range combat as it shoots far flatter and in a much tighter spiral... which equates to huge accuracy increases ... as well as the ability for a soldier to carry roughly twice as many rounds. The accuracy at range, in combination with allowing twice as many rounds to sent downrange does make up for the lower punch in the big picture.
The standard M16 has raised sights which allow for simple adjustments compensating for gravity's effect on the round. The same sights are useless at close range. The military's close combat M16 loses the carry handle and raised front sights for a " FLAT TOP" design ... hence eliminating the parallax. They also use a shorter barrel and stock, alleviating the maneuverability problem.
3 - SigArms is a for profit company, meaning they make full auto military arms, and what the public wants to buy ... and people who want an AR that isn't junk want a Sig. BTW ... if you ever want a home defense weapon, a Sig pistol with Federal HydraShock rounds, essentially a SOST pistol round, will IMHO do the job better than any handgun out there.
4 - Sigs are accurate straight out of the box at an almost supernatural lever and jam far less than one in one thousand rounds. I bought mine for use in target shooting competitions.
If you ever tried it, you would find that many of skills needed in billiards cross over to target shooting and widlife photography.
The differences are not f design, but of production tolerances ... crap on a BUSHWHACKER, incredibly tight and consistent on a Sig ... quality of materials, etcetera.
Any round that takes five rounds in the chest at close range to kill a man is ... relatively feeble.
What showing is there that it took more than one? If you double tap someone to the head, does that mean you needed the second round?
The DC sniper mainly killed everyone with a single bullet. The bullet? The feeble, when it comes to killing man-sized creatures, 5.56 round. (And not the SOST variety.)
A medium sized fish [...]
What was the distance involved?
50 to 100 yards.
Were stock sights used?
No, a "RED DOT" reflex sight was used.
Was the shooter a nut job kid sans training?
No, John Allen Muhammad qualified at the US Army's highest marksmanship level for an M-16.
Were the shootings done with a hand held weapon?
No. The shooter used a rifle tripod from the modified trunk of a parked vehicle.
Did the shooter kill with a single shot?
No, the average was three shots per shooting.
Did the shooter use standard 5.56 NATO rounds?
No, the shooter used .223 REMINGTON hollow points, similar to the SOST rounds.
So, in closing, in the DC sniper shootings we had a highly trained shooter, firing from a tripod mounted in a 4,000 lb base, using a more lethal round with an electronic sighting system ... and they needed thirty nine rounds to achieve ten kills of targets in an unobstructed field of view.
And your point is exactly what?
More on the 5.56 NATO round:
"February 2, 2007: Troops from the U.S. Army and Marine Corps are still complaining about the "inadequate stopping power" of the 5.56mm round used in the M-16 family of assault rifles. Last year, the army did a study of current 5.56mm M855 round, in response to complaints. Troops reported many reports where enemy fighters were hit with one or more M855 rounds and kept coming. The study confirmed that this happened, and discovered why. If the M855 bullet hits slender people at the right angle, and does not hit a bone, it goes right through. That will do some soft tissue damage, but nothing immediately incapacitating. The study examined other military and commercial 5.56mm rounds and found that none of them did the job any better. The study concluded that, if troops aimed higher, and fired two shots, they would have a better chance of dropping people right away. The report recommended more weapons training for the troops, so they will be better able to put two 5.56mm bullets where they will do enough damage to stop oncoming enemy troops. Marines got the same advice from their commanders. But infantrymen in the army and marines both continue to insist that the problem is not with their marksmanship, but with the 5.56mm bullet. Marines say they have used captured AK-47 rifles in combat, and found that the lower velocity, and larger, 7.62mm bullets fired by these weapons were more effective in taking down enemy troops.Â
The army study did not address complaints about long range shots (over 100 meters), or the need for ammo that is better a blasting through doors and walls. The army had been considering a switch of a larger (6.8mm) round, and the Special Forces has been testing such a round in the field. But a switch is apparently off the table at the moment. The army report was not well received by the troops, and there is still much grumbling in the ranks over the issue."
These problems are why the SOST round was developed.
The problem, in reality, is that REMINGTON .223 is an abolutely devastating, athough expensive, round that the SOST attempts to mimic ... but hollow points rounds such as the REMINGTON .223 are illegal in combat.
The workaround, as explained earlier is that the SOST uses a hollow point lead oud with a very thin copper shield over the front alf of the bullet ... and the solid rear half acts sort of like a hammer behind it.
The SOST round really, IMHO, violates the intent ... if not the letter ... of international law.
Most of what you said was true, but this isn't, or is misleading. A string of the victims were killed with one bullet. So unless you are equivocating 'shots' for 'hits,' that cannot be right. Which takes away from your correct points.Did the shooter kill with a single shot?
No, the average was three shots per shooting.
/WikiOn the morning of October 3, four people were shot within a span of approximately two hours in Aspen Hill and other nearby areas in Montgomery County. Another was killed that evening in the District of Columbia, just over the border from Silver Spring.
- At 7:41 a.m., James L. Buchanan, a 39-year-old landscaper known as "Sonny", was shot dead at 11411 Rockville Pike near Rockville, Maryland. Buchanan was shot while mowing the grass at the Fitzgerald Auto Mall.
- At 8:12 a.m., 54-year-old part-time taxi driver Premkumar Walekar was killed in Aspen Hill in Montgomery County, while pumping gasoline into his taxi at a Mobil station at Aspen Hill Road and Connecticut Avenue.
- At 8:37 a.m. Sarah Ramos, a 34-year-old babysitter and housekeeper, was killed at 3701 Rossmoor Boulevard at the Leisure World Shopping Center in Norbeck. She had gotten off a bus, and was seated on a bench, reading a book.[10]
- At 9:58 a.m., in what was to be the last killing of the morning, 25-year-old Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera was killed while vacuuming her Dodge Caravan at the Shell station at the intersection of Connecticut & Knowles Avenues in Kensington, Maryland.
- The snipers then waited until 9:15 p.m. before shooting Pascal Charlot, a 72-year-old retired carpenter, while he was walking on Georgia Avenue at Kalmia Road, in Washington, D.C. Charlot died less than an hour later.
In each shooting, the victims were killed by a single bullet fired from some distance. The pattern was not detected until after the shootings occurred on October 3.[11]

You will find that the round, in a hollow point, will in fact match the 7.62 NATO ... did you ever wonder why they kept the 7.62? Did you notice the standard 5.56 wasn't even deemed worthy of testing for this use?
Now that the round's power is possibly fixed ... we are left with theweapon itself being a horrible choice.
If you notice are several pistol rounds that will deliver one shot stopping power of 90% or higher ... they all work from a much smaller, and easier to conceal/wield pistols ... they all can be used from a far more reliable and jam free weapon ... many can be used in a pistol mag holding as many rounds as the AR, or a rifle such as a "TOMMY" hoding ar more ... None have the paralax issue of the AR at short range
Using your DC sniper example of 39 rounds needed to bring own 13 humans ... 33% ... would place it at the low end of the chart.
I don't think it's that feeble ... but this chart is based on center of mass hits, difficult at best with said wepon under said situation. Luckily for victims, these type of school/mall/theater shooters use the Hollywood "SPRAY AND PRAY" method of aiming.
This is born out by the shooter in Newtown firing 100 rounds to take down 28 victims ... that were in the same room with him. That's a 28 stopping power rate.
The leftists who are wiling and gnashing their collectivist teeth about what a "GUN NUT" did should be glad it wan't actually a gun nut.
If you doubt that, research Charles Whitman ... killed more people and wounded more people, and did it from a far greater distance and with far fewer rounds than the Newtown shooter.
BTW ... he didn't choose a weapon chambered in 5.56 NATO.

I bet Mokuton needs a lot of chakra. It is not apparent in Senju due to their vitality. What do you guys think?Undominanthybrid (talk) 17:38, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
I agree with you. In that aspect, Wood Release and Sharingan are similar as they take a toll on the chakra levels of non-Senju and non-Uchiha when they use it.18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:07, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
Kekkei genkai
Should Wood Release really be listed under and as a Kekkei Genkai? Kekkei Genkai are special abilities that are passed down genetically in a clan however none of Hashirama's descendants can use Wood Release. I think Wood Release is just a unique ability he managed to create because he's a descendant of the Sage of the Six Path's. The Senju clan Ancestor inherited the Sage's body and physical energy. Madara said that by implanting Hashirama's Cells into Danzo he increased his physical energy. Hashirama also had tremendous potential and natural talent so that along with his heritage is a plausible explanation. But Wood Release is not by definition a Kekkei Genkai.
Mokuton differences.
Should we add something about how Hashirama's Mokuton actually makes trees, while Tenzo's only makes blocks of wood? Just a thought. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 13:48, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Tenzo can make Trees too. L Mars (talk) 14:19, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
- When Tenzo showed Naruto about elemental recomposition, he created trees. I think the only difference is that he cannot produce trees from his own body, but he can produce either blocks of wood or trees from the ground. On the other hand, Danzō could only generate trees from his right arm, and he used no wood.--GoDai (talk) 20:20, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Tenzo can create blocks of wood from his body but even Hashirama cant create trees from his body, every time Hashirama has used trees they came from the ground. And I'm sure it has to do with yin or yang when combining water and earth,(not yin or yang release,just yin or yang)--Black-Light (talk) 21:30, June 13, 2011 (UTC)Black-Light
not kekkei genkai
i think that mokuton isn't a kekkei genkai since it was only the firsts cells that allow others to use it and that it's a jutsu naturally unique only to Hashirama Srnju, since none of his descendants can use it and only those injected with his cells by orochimaru can use it.—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
Third databook explicitly says it's a kekkei genkai. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:23, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Aye, it could very well be a recessive gene within the Senju bloodline, as to why only Hashirama could use it. --Black Judgment of GuyvirothFile:Shungokusatsuwmv.gif 14:51, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
Any Idea What Kind Of Trees Are Produced?
Like the topic says, does anyone have any idea what kind of trees are produced or the genus/taxa of the trees pictured? The answer would be good for trivia, just something fun to know. :) —This unsigned comment was made by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) .
- Most likely, there isn't one. I hardly think Kishimoto would try to draw a specific kind of tree, if different types of tree were important, or if Wood Release could create specific trees for purposes such as providing fruits so others can eat, or providing flowers/pollen as medicine ingredient, I think we would have heard by now. But then again, it did take about 500 chapters to learn that Zabuza's sword can regenerate using others' blood, so there's a chance we'll learn that in about 200 chapters or so. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:41, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Even if Kishimoto-sensei has a specific species of tree in mind for Mokuton, he doesn't draw the trees in enough detail to identify them. They seem to be temperate, deciduous trees, though. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 18:55, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
Guys come on were talking about wood release here not apple tree release,ok every tree is made from wood ok so a tree is just a tree when it comes to Mokuton.--Black-Light (talk) 21:34, June 13, 2011 (UTC)Black-Light

Necklace suppression
I took away the line: After Naruto destroyed the necklace, Yamato stated that he can no-longer suppress the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's influence. There was absolutely no reference to this that I could find, and the one comment yamato made that this seems to be based on was refering to the seal that the necklace itself produced. That seal is not the same as this technique, and I think the fact he followed it up by saying he couldn't be with him at all times, and the fact he used this tech to try and suppress the 9-tails later, would point to the fact this statement isn't true. The necklace itself seems to have acted as a second seal that automatically tried to suppress the 9-tails, in addition to making it easier for yamato to suppress the fox. But for it to be the same tech, yamato would have to be able to use it from a crazy long distance, and it wouldn't make much sense for him to rush back either, if that were the case. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:00, April 24, 2011 (UTC)miah
- I put it back because i specifically remember that he said it for some reason though, i can't find it. Several other people have said so before including Jiraiya. Yamato also alluded to it several times. We'll look for it though.--Cerez365™☺ 23:42, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem like Yamato is saying he can't suppress the fox's chakra. Why would he say that he can't be with Naruto all time if he couldn't suppress his chakra immediately after? I think Yamato was only talking about what necklace did in chapter 438. Plus the necklace is only needed for Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique — Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands, those wooden heads seem to be different.--Deva 27 00:31, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
- That was my point, I looked at every chapter from the pain fight through to when naruto tamed the fox and the absolute only time he said something even similar to that was when he told naruto that he no longer had his seal to protect him and he couldn't be with him 24/7. And let me ask you this, when naruto started turning into the fox in the turtle, yamato used this exact same jutsu that this is saying he stated he couldn't use anymore, to try and suppress the fox as much as he could. So why would he try a technique if he knew it wouldn't work? Besides, when they assigned him to naruto they said it was because he could control the fox, and the 5th clearly said that it should be easier b/c of the necklace, not that he could suppress it only because of the necklace. Truse me, this passage is absolutely no where. The seal from the pain fight was clearly different, no dragon heads or any of that, and frankly the fact that he literally used this technique a few chapters ago should be enough to completely refute this idea. You can look for yourself, but as I said it's not there. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:11, April 25, 2011 (UTC)miah
- I'd have to agree I just read all the post invasion bits up to Naruto's training in the temple looking for the citation. But if that's it i'd have to agree with Deva's view. Although Yamato did state in previous chapters that it's because of the necklace that he can suppress the Kyubi and Jiraiya also said it was a good thing that Naruto had the necklace already. Whether or not the necklace did it entirely or made the process easier i don't know; although i won't say the statement is entirely wrong.--Cerez365™☺ 01:18, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I also looked up to see where this line came from, it was posted by someone with the IP address 22.214.171.124 who made 3 edits on feb 1st 2010 and nothing since, and was only changed once since then which was to remove the beginning, "Although we do know that without it," and replace it with its current opening. I also checked the yamato page to see if it was discussed there previously and I didn't see anything in the talk section, though I will point out that this same seemingly incorrect assertion is made on the yamato page s well. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:37, April 25, 2011 (UTC)miah
It wsn't completely wrong in that it did help with the tech, as the 5th said. But At least refering to this tech, I still think my previous edit is perhaps a little more accurate. Now the other tech he used where he hit his chest to pull it out, if that's a different tech that may be another story since he aimed for the necklace, but this doesn't seem like the page to mention that but instead the page for that tech and the page for the necklace. But this tech seems to be 100% intact. The other one is certainly un in the air. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:41, April 25, 2011 (UTC)miah
I'm going to change that statement slightly, because I looked back at 296 and he did use this technique, he just added an extra move it seems using the necklace. So it seems to me it would be best to say his ability to quickly suppress the fox is greatly reduced w/o the necklace. He definitely can't add that extra move, because he's clearly pulling out from the necklace to suppress the fox extra-quick. Though this is the only time he's done this extra step. I oculd be that he needed to do that b/c of the number of tails, idk. that part's speculation. But 297 contains the line I think this came from, where he tells sakura the necklace allows him to CONTROL the chakra of a tailed beast. That distinction is probably important, the difference in the level of his ability with the necklace and without it is very large. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 02:01, April 25, 2011 (UTC)miah
- We really should wait for others to weigh in Micah of the Epistles.--Cerez365™☺ 02:15, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
I added one line to the end, based in part on his comments about the necklace but also the 5ths comment that the necklace would make his control much easier when she assigned him the naruto. My goal was to try and express the more what the 5th implied that the ability was inherant, bu that wihtough the necklace that ability seems to be greatly weakened, as he couldn't control the fox this time around. Make sense? I figured it was a small, but important clarification. And I do like the fact it says implied instead of stated, but just to clear it up what exactly does that passage say, for those who have the raw japanese? The translations I've seen he just refers to him not having the seal, but I was wondering if it's accurate, since in the next pannel he implies he still could help suppress the fox when he says he coulnd't possibly be around naruto 24/7 18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:30, April 25, 2011 (UTC)miah

DNA =/= cells

- Read the very first part above Overview. Second line from the bottom:

Yamato converted his body parts into wood he didn't grow or create wood from his body. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 10:46, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Big difference to people who read it, it misguides them and no how is it the same thing when you say to someone " Yamato grew wood from his hand into a forest and attacked Kakuzu. " it makes them think get he wrong picture. Besides, the fact that Wood Release users can make there bodies into wood and back into flesh is incredible can you think what would happen if this granted them abilities like the Hydrification Technique or more specifically like Suigestu's Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique, that would finally explain Tobi's arm regrowing. (Please note I said If so I'm not speculating.) 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:45, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
Actually, not really. He "grows" a forest from his body. I don't see how else to interpret that. And other elemental users do the same thing, with Earth and Water. And Wood Release has never been shown to give any type of healing factor in the way you're describing. Skitts (talk) 08:52, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
However, the same thing could have been said about the Hydrification Technique and the regeneration it grants, Wood Release users can change their bodies made from human cells to plant cells I would it sort of grants them regeneration and we don't exactly know the mechanics of the Water and Earth phasing/merging. About the forest part, I still think it should be mentioned and not used in a figurative sense, 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:07, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yamato may have the firsts cells/dna/blood but wouln't he need to have an affinity for water and earth in order to utilise it same with danzo his affinty is wind yet he uses wood style? --18.104.22.168 (talk) 15:22, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
- If you have the ability to use an advanced nature, by definition you can use the two that make it up. Your affinity only determines which nature transformation your own chakra leans towards by itself. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:48, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
so because the first has water and earth when yamato gets his dna he has a affinity for them? but couldn't you just take multiple peoples dna and integrate it into yourself? thus getting all 5 natures. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:03, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. If you have wood, automatically you have earth and water. You talk about integrating people's DNA like it's applying a bandaid. Orochimaru, a recognized genius and very competent scientist tried this for a long time, using 60 test subjects. Only Yamato survived, and his Wood Release is nowhere as powerful as Hashirama's. And that's only with one person's DNA, the more the harder. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:41, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
Yamato basically had Hashirama's genes integrated into his own DNA, while the likes of Danzo and Madara/Tobi just had his cells applied to a part of their body. (unless I'm wrong)--Elveonora (talk) 21:37, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
Should we include Swirl Zetsu under the Wood Release page? Also, Obito is seen with wood coming out of his hand in 602, and his body is half Zetsu. SIs he a Wood Release User? Zelwolf (talk) 21:12, September 26, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
- Obito did not use Wood Release in chapter 602, he was merely balancing a twig he broke off from his bed (see Talk:Obito Uchiha#Wood Release) for more. That being said Swirl Zetsu has already been added as a user, it will take a while for him/it to appear on the list on this article.--Cerez365™(talk) 21:25, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh! Okay thanks for clearing that up for me. But sense his body is half "zetsu" doesn't that mean he may have the ability to use wood release? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:38, September 27, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
- Also i ment chaper 603, not 602. SOrry about that. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:42, September 27, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
- Obito does use it to devastating effect in Chapter 605, though, so he should be listed as a user. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 04:55, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
Info Box
I Just Can't Seem To Be Able To Get To The Info Box .--~ {D.S.P.} [G/G] (talk) 12:59, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Not how kekkei genkai infoboxes work. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:21, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
Should we
Should we say in the Trivia section that in the Original Naruto, When Hashirama Senju is revived by Orochimaru Wood Release is called "Secret Earth Style? Zelwolf (talk) 04:04, October 25, 2012 (UTC)Zelwolf
- That was an error of the dubbed version, it was always called Wood Release. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 10:03, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
I have a suggestion here as well, should we state in a trivia saying that wood release and yang chakra are somehow connected with each other ? Seeing that various wood techniques are affected by the chakra's components. --Naruto6paths (talk) 17:19, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
Already mentioned elsewhere--Elveonora (talk) 18:36, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
Is the generic Zetsu listed as a user? I don't see him, and Kuro-Zetsu at least definitely uses some Wood Release. Kaitan (talk) 05:07, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
All I see is
Known Wielders
Hashirama Senju Danzō Shimura Spiral Zetsu (Manga only) Madara Uchiha Obito Uchiha Yamato no normal Zetsu. Kaitan (talk) 18:41, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
Wood Release Tailed Beast Control
As of chapter 613, we see the Uchiha duo, using their Wood Release powers to take direct control over a tailed beast by sprouting roots and connecting them to the Ten-Tails. Now this is somewhat new since it was never shown that the WR could do that, only that it could restrain, neutralize or supress a tailed beast. In this case, Madara and Obito pretty used the WR to override the Ten-Tails and control it like a puppet. Now i imagine that should be seen as a new technique, since it displayed a new aspect to the Wood Release. Any other opinons are welcomed and necessary. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:59, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
- We've been told time in and out that Hashirama had the innate ability to control tailed beasts and we've seen that wood release can absorb chakra. They haven't done anything that should be "new" to us. They're just using Hashirama's DNA via Wood Release to exert greater control over the beast.--Cerez365™(talk) 06:12, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
Wood Release Technique
Anyone else in favor of adding a jutsu page named Wood Release Technique, for all the small unnamed jutsu performed. Like when Obito grew the root from his shoulder that he extended out his sleeve to grab Naruto's arm. Or when Hashirama Senju is fighting Madara and creates large roots that he controls from the ground. We could include it all in a gallery style, like we do with C4 or Arhat Fist. Skarrj (talk) 15:53, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
According to the databook there is suppost to be. For those of you who don't believe seriously look up ShounenSuki's databook 3 translations. I think we should add it to have a way to lop up all those unnamed uses of wood release like that former article about Obito's wood branch thing. Kinda like Genjutsu: Sharingan, Arhat Fist (as Skarrj said), and so forth.126.96.36.199 (talk) 18:36, December 19, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
Well, it has worked before with other techniques, and it would be a nice way to keep the round up minor stuff that don't look like actual techniques. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:20, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
- then you guys can start editing.18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:22, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
The thing is, the entry in the databook was more like an entry to the nature transformation itself. Similar to the profiles on major jutsu categories in the first databook. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:28, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Then, as an alternative, could we not add the unnamed techniques and gallery function to this article?--BeyondRed (talk) 01:07, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Not a bad idea...maybe just add the little, more rudimentary uses of the Wood Release, like how Obito used this to restrain Naruto or how Danzo used this to make the giant tree to defend against the Susanoo arrows. Darksusanoo (talk) 01:24, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
Not really for the idea. From what I saw in the databook entry, there is no difference between Wood Release and Wood Release Technique. This would mean that every other release should have a basic "x Release Technique" page. I wouldn't, however, be against mentioning some of these "generic" uses of the techniques on the kekkei genkai page.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:42, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
Since he now has the body of White Zetsu (clone), should he be added as a user as well? Patsoumas1995 (talk) 13:40, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- That doesn't look like Oro's true form and there is no need to hurry.~ UltimateSupreme 13:47, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
This snake form looks more like Kabuto's and he entered Zetsu's mouth, while Immortality Technique's form is made of many little white snakes and Oro swallows his victim... but it might be something similar, but instead of transfer, is possession--Elveonora (talk) 14:37, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm kinda thorn. On one way, I believe Orochimaru has fully taken over that Zetsu clone, which would mean he has Wood Release, fitting with Obito having Wood Release on account of having partial Zetsu body, but at the same time, Orochimaru's body was recreated from Kabuto's flesh, and Kabuto had acquired two kekkei genkai, and we didn't list Oro as having those because he didn't show or mention having them.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Quick is getting hot at the right
time, and his Los Angeles Kings are back in the conference semifinals.
Thanks to 21 saves from Quick and a Dustin Penner goal with just 0.2 seconds
left in the second period, the Kings advanced with a 2-1 win over the St.
Louis Blues in Game 6 of this Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Last year's Conn Smythe winner for guiding the Kings to their first Stanley
Cup championship, Quick allowed just 10 goals in this series on 177 shots for
the fifth-seeded Kings.
Drew Doughty notched the other marker for Los Angeles, which swept St. Louis
in the semifinals last season.
Chris Porter had the lone goal while Brian Elliott gave up both goals on 16
shots for the Blues, who had won the first two games of this series before
dropping the final four.

Chef Robert Ubaldo's small, rustic and cozy restaurant is already known for it's delicious farm-to-table food. But it deserves special recognition as a haven for Kosher Keepers (who eat veg) and vegetarian foodies in Fairfield County.
Yes, Farmer's Table, in New Canaan, CT, offers a full vegetarian menu at lunch and dinner. This alone merits a shout out.
What's more, the choices are both plentiful and delicious. With vegetables sourced from Ubaldo's own Pound Ridge garden or his brother's upstate New York farm, John Boy, the vegetarian offerings are fresh, vibrant and bursting with flavor. On top of that, this chef bakes his own bread in house daily, as well as three homemade dessert offerings (but more on that later).

With the start of fall camp just about two weeks away, PowerMizzou.com continues our month-long preview of the last season of the Big XII as we know it. After a couple of division titles in a row, Missouri finished second a season ago. Can the Tigers get back on top or will Nebraska ride out of the league with a second straight division crown? Or is there another team that could threaten the five-year hold on the title the Tigers and the Huskers have held?That's the question we are set to answer in this series of previews. For the next two weeks, PowerMizzou.com will break down each position for each team in the North, the Tigers included. We will rank each unit on a scale from 1-10. At the end of the series, we will tally up the scores (6 points will be awarded for having the division's best position group, down to a single point for the worst group in the North) and use those scores to give you our prediction for the order of strength in the division. ...More...

Yallingup, located in Western Australia, provides the backdrop for the creation of Creatures. Yallingup is a prime surfing spot with waves that rival the mighty waves of Hawaii. In the 1970's, John Malloy traveled to Yallingup to experience the superior surf. After many years in Yallingup, Malloy and a friend created the first urethane leash which withstood the strong, Yallingup waves.
The creation of the urethane leash was only the beginning. Soon, Malloy and his friend created a line of great surfing products. Each product is thoroughly tested in the water by the staff of Creatures, sponsored riders, and members of their international surf team. Creatures continues to utilize the very best materials to create durable surfing accessories to satisfy customers.

Tanzania flag bearers in the CAF Confederation Cup, Simba, board a flight to Algeria for their return leg tie against Es Setif to be played in Algeria Friday
Among players who will be on board today's flight include their Rwandan midfielder Patrick Mafisango who was suspended last week for alleged misconduct during a training g session.
Mafisango has been temporarily exempted from the alleged offences and he is reported to have apologized to the club's leadership.
Simba's information officer Ezekiel Kamwaga said through a release yesterday that playmates have also sought for lifting of the suspension for Mafisango.
The Rwandan midfielder was slapped an indefinite suspension for an alleged attempted assault on the team's Serbian coach Milovan Cirkovic on grounds of inadequate allowance.
Besides Mafisango, other players who will be boarding the flight to Algeria via Cairo are Juma Kaseja, Ally Mustafa, Nassor Masoud, Shomari Kapombe, Amir Maftah, Juma Nyoso, Kelvin Yondani, Victor Costa, Obadia Mungusa, Jonas Mkude, Patrick Mafisango, Mwinyi Kazimoto, Haruna Moshi, Salum Machaku, Uhuru Selemani, Felix Sunzu, Emmanuel Okwi, Edward Christopher, Derrick Walulya and Gervais Kago.
Officials accompanying the team
include club chairman Ismail Aden Rage, a member of the executive committee Damian Manembe and information officer Kamwaga.
Technical staff has head coach Cirkovic and his assistant Amatre Richard, goalkeeping coach James Kisaka, physician Cosmas Kapinga, team coordinator Nicholas Nyagawa and kit manager Kessy Rajab.
An official with the Tanzania Football federation, Sylvester Faya, will also be on board the flight.
Simba seek to safeguard their sweet 2-0 home victory they secured during the first leg match played at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, a weekend before the last.
While a win will be a bonus to the Tanzanian team, a draw of any nature is also suitable for the team to progress.
Their hosts have to overturn the first leg loss and win by three goals while keeping a clean sheet.
Simba remain the only side competing in continental leagues for the 2012 season after three others were bundled out of the run.
These are Young Africans, Zanzibar's Mafunzo and Jamhuri teams.

The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas
I have been meaning to meet up with the Idiosyncratic Fashionistas ,Jean and Valerie. for some time now, so I was especially excited to meet them for brunch on Sunday We got to talking about how fashion should be fun and how there should be more older models representing brands. The girls told me that sometimes they'll go places and people will ask them if they are "Ari's Girls". I am delighted to be associated with such wonderful and creative people.
These two fantastic ladies met about three years ago as Valerie was trying to get Jean to attend a textile show she was curating. Valerie told me, " I can talk to anyone who is wearing a hat, because we are on the same wavelength".

I'm sorry but whilst I would defend to the death the right of these ladies to dress as they wish, I find their look illconsidered and out of proportion. One gorgeous Bakelite ring would have been enough; multiples of gorgeous things does not make them more gorgeous and can actually be overbearing and detract from their beauty.
My message would be never to underestimate the art of minimalist chic. Your fur clad lady of a few days ago obviously knows that your wonderful ladies from 15th December who are chic in the extreme. One of the wonderful things about growing older is acquiring the art of showing off your objets in isolation and realising that less really is more.
- December 23, 2010 at 8:32 AM
- Ari said...
Thats why personal style is so fun, there is no right and wrong. It is about expression and having fun. I agree that simplicity and minimalism can look very chic, but sometimes its fun to play with proportions and do something different, especially in New York where it gets very cold and everyone seems to dress quite plain in the winter.

Pueblo police arrested a man they say could be connected to a string of recent robberies.
Detectives tell us they believe Alfred Montano, 25, was involved in a home invasion and robbery on the 2000 block of Carlee Drive in Pueblo. That home invasion happened on December 28, 2012.
Friday, Montano was reported to be in the area of Fowler, Colo. Pueblo police detectives along with the Otero County Sheriff's Office located Montano. An arrest warrant was obtained for Theft by Receiving, a class 3 felony.
Montano has been booked into Pueblo County Jail on a $250,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing; further charges may be filed in the near future.
Investigators say Montano is also a person of interest in several other robberies that have occurred in Pueblo recently. That part of the investigation is still ongoing.

Which costs extra card slots or extra sp.
It's still far more easier and relaxing to play a monosphere card.
If the effort of multisphering means nothing, then the mystic should be a multisphere.
LoneKnight wrote:I think dragon breath multisphere is a somewhat bad play against Mystic/witch/some other t1 units I can't think of right now. You should probably find some other way to deal with her. Lawt can burn mana, falkow can do all the same stuff the mystic guy can do, refess could maybe splash undine to have your t1 refugee/carb handle it.

A if you design a deck where you overly rely on a certain cards, then cards which are contering this card will be strong to them. If you designed your deck the way that you rely too much on your grims then every grimbane will hurt you. Same happens eg if you overly relyon characters, then character hate will hurt you more. This is your risk you took when you designed your deck.
B In addition one could argue that 2 cards are too much to drain but i can guarantee you the moment you use this skill you severly weaken the progression of your file. Becasue for falkow every sp count, using this skill early can mean for you slowing down your field building and thus loosing the game.
What it means for sure if you rushed him out is that you will likely loose the control aspect of your deck bacause you cannot win with retruns if you have less sp then your opponent (unless that person makes very stupid things, lets assume your opponent plays competetive).
So in essence a rushed out mystic spamming its skill means a self nerf for retruns. Soooo why do you complain then???? Stopp being paraniod about mystic and go for field early and watch your opponent crating his own issues.

OZARK, Ala. (AP) -- The school bus driver who replaced slain Dale County driver Chuck Poland says little by little she's been able to connect with children on his bus route.
Melinda Campbell had been a substitute driver until she was asked to take over Poland's route following his shooting death. Poland was killed Jan. 29 while trying to stop a man from kidnapping a 5-year-old student from his bus.
Campbell says the children who were on the bus would not have warmed up to her like they have if Poland had not done such a wonderful job of loving and caring for them. She says she and the students have found different ways to connect. One way was to name her 3-month-old bulldog, Miss Poly, in honor of Poland.

But how it gets from the ground to your glass is far more complex than you might think. Is it safe to drink tap water? Should you feel guilty buying bottled water? Is your water vulnerable to terrorist attacks? With springs running dry and reservoirs emptying, where is your water going to come from in the future? In Drinking Water, Duke professor James Salzman shows how drinking water highlights the most pressing issues of our time.
"Hard not to be affected by this book"
One of Jane Austen's most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen's signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennett, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.
"A Truth Universally Acknowledged"
Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics - as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters - this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don't merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.
"Worth every penny"
In a time long forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons off balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. As the cold returns, sinister forces are massing beyond the protective wall of the kingdom of Winterfell. To the south, the king's powers are failing, with his most trusted advisor mysteriously dead and enemies emerging from the throne's shadow.
"Review of First 5 Books"
From the New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: Lost Stars comes a thrilling novel set in the years before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
"Totally Redeems Leia"
Following Memory Man, number-one NYT best-selling author David Baldacci returns with his next thriller featuring detective Amos Decker.
"Another Baldacci winner"
Everyone knows that if Scarlett O'Hara had an unlimited text-and-data plan, she'd constantly try to tempt Ashley away from Melanie with suggestive messages. If Mr. Rochester could text Jane Eyre, his ardent missives would obviously be in all-caps. And Daisy Buchanan would not only text while driving, she'd text you to pick her up after she totaled her car.
"Charming, Often Hilarious 2+ Hours!"
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
"Don't Compare, Just Enjoy"
As she settles in to motherhood and a happy marriage, Lindsay Boxer thinks she has found domestic bliss. But when a beautiful, alluring blonde woman with links to the CIA disappears from the scene of a brutal murder at a downtown luxury hotel, Lindsay's life begins to unravel. Before she can track down the woman for questioning, a plane crash plunges San Francisco into chaos, and Lindsay's husband, Joe, vanishes.
When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity.
"Brutal, But Beautiful"
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life - steady boyfriend, close family - who has never been farther afield than her tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life - big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel - and now he's pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Will is acerbic, moody, bossy - but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected.
"A Journey Into the Unknown"
Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed her father into the woods. In freeing the girl trapped in the root cellar, Naomi revealed the horrible extent of her father's crimes and made him infamous. Now a successful photographer living under the name Naomi Carson, she has found a place that calls to her, thousands of miles away from everything she's ever known. Naomi wants to embrace the solitude, but the residents of Sunrise Cove keep forcing her to open up - especially the determined Xander Keaton.
"Could have been great. Needed a different narrator"
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
"About time I get around to this series."
What is space? It isn't a question that most of us normally stop to ask. Space is the venue of physics; it's where things exist, where they move and take shape. Yet over the past few decades, physicists have discovered a phenomenon that operates outside the confines of space and time. The phenomenon - the ability of one particle to affect another instantly across the vastness of space - appears to be almost magical.
"Rambling but Asks Good Questions"
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
"Nice! A guide on how to change"
Eadlyn didn't think she would find a real partner among the Selection's 35 suitors, let alone true love. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you...and now Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more difficult - and more important - than she ever expected.
"Good Commute Book"
In this must-listen book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and businesspeople - both seasoned and new - that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit". Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur "genius" Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success.
"No More Obsessing on Talent!"
College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same. Carl is a dying Vietnam veteran-and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
"Flawless Narration"
After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the 4,000-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus' favor. But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed.
When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny....
"Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe."

The state agency that runs Connecticut's primary psychiatric hospital will now give families and other caregivers the option of initiating a "Silver Alert" when patients go missing.
The decision comes after the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services took more than a year before requesting an alert to help locate Aaron Torres.
(For more about Aaron, read here, here and here.)
Torres, who suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, walked away from the Connecticut Valley Hospital on March 17, 2010 while on a supervised break. He has yet to be found.
After stories about the hospital's failure to look for Torres and pressure from Torres' mother as well as state Rep. Kelvin Roldan, a family friend, the agency said Tuesday that it will immediately inform families about the option of initiating the alert.
"It's unfortunate that it has taken this long," Roldan said. "However, this will mean no other family will have to go through what this family has."
An agency spokesperson said an official policy is still being worked out, but until then the department will immediately make families of missing patients aware of the alert, which is intended to help locate missing adults 65 or older, or mentally impaired. The Silver Alert, in effect since 2009, is sent to media outlets, police stations and missing persons agencies specifically to help locate adults in danger.
Margarita Torres, Aaron's mother, said she'd like to see the notification become protocol as soon as possible.
Until then, she said, she worries that families won't be alerted as soon as they should.

Ransomware stops you from using your PC. It holds your PC or files for ransom.
Some versions of ransomware are called "FBI Moneypak" or the "FBI virus" because they use the FBI's logos.
There are different types of ransomware. However, all of them will prevent you from using your PC normally, and they will all ask you to do something before you can use your PC.
They can:
Prevent you from accessing Windows.
Encrypt files so you can't use them.
Stop certain apps from running (like your web browser).
They will demand that you do something to get access to your PC or files. We have seen them:
Demand you pay money.
Make you complete surveys.
Often the ransomware will claim you have done something illegal with your PC, and that you are being fined by a police force or government agency.
These claims are false. It is a scare tactic designed to make you pay the money without telling anyone who might be able to restore your PC.
There is no guarantee that paying the fine or doing what the ransomware tells you will give access to your PC or files again.
Locky and Cerber are two of the most prevalent and dangerous ransomware currently active.
Read more about Locky in the following blog:
FakeBsod has emerged as a new prevalent ransomware family since it was first detected in September 2015, as shown in Figure 1. FakeBsod was the second most detected malware in the top ten list of prevalent ransomware, with 21 percent of detections.
Figure 1. Top 10 Ransomware (June to November 2015)
FakeBsod was responsible for 17 percent of the top ten ransomware infections detected by Microsoft security products during November 2015.
Figure 2. Top 10 Ransomware (November 2015)
An example of the fake warning message is shown in Figure 3:
Figure 3: Message used by FakeBsod to lock your web browser
You can regain control of your web browser without paying anything by closing the warning message using the Task Manager.
When you reopen your browser, make sure you don't click 'restore previous session'.
Read more about this threat in the Ransom:JS/FakeBsod.A description.
No. These warnings are fake and have no association with legitimate authorities. The message uses images and logos of legal institutions to make the it look authentic.
We don't recommend you pay. There is no guarantee that handing over the ransom will give you access to your files again. Paying the ransom could also make you a target for more malware.
How to recover your files depends on where your files are stored and what version of Windows you are using.
Before you try to recover files, you should use Windows Defender Offline to fully clean your PC.
OneDrive creates a version of Microsoft Office files when you save or change the file as part of its security features.
To see if there are older versions of your file, go to OneDrive on the web. Right-click on a file you want to restore and click Version history.
OneDrive for Business customers should see the Manage document versions help article on the Office help site.
You need to have turned on File History (in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1) or System Protection for previous versions (in Windows 7 and Windows Vista) before you were infected. In some cases, these might have been turned on already by your PC manufacturer or network administrator.
Some ransomware will also encrypt or delete the backup versions of your files. This means that even if you have enabled File History, if you have set the backup location to be a network or local drive your backups might also be encrypted. Backups on a removable drive, or a drive that wasn't connected when you were infected with the ransomware, might still work.
See the Windows Repair and recovery site for help on how to enable file recovery for your version of Windows.
If you've been infected by the Crilock family of ransomware (also called CryptoLocker), you might be able to use the tool mentioned in the MMPC blog:
You should contact your bank and your local authorities, such as the police. If you paid with a credit card, your bank may be able to block the transaction and return your money.
The following government-initiated fraud and scam reporting websites may also help:
In Australia, go to the SCAMwatch website
In Canada, go to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
In France, go to the Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information website
In Germany, go to the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik website
In Ireland, go to the An Garda Síochána website
In New Zealand, go to the Consumer Affairs Scams website
In the United Kingdom, go to the Action Fraud website
In the United States, go to the On Guard Online website
If your country or region isn't listed here, we encourage you to contact your country's federal police or communications authority.
For general information on what to do if you have paid, see:
Your IP address is not usually hidden, and there are lots of tools online that will get it for you. It's likely they used such a tool.
In most instances ransomware is automatically downloaded when you visit a malicious website or a website that's been hacked.
For other ways malware, including ransomware, gets on your PC, see:
You should:
Install and use an up-to-date antivirus solution (such as Microsoft Security Essentials).
Make sure your software is up-to-date.
Avoid clicking on links or opening attachments or emails from people you don't know or companies you don't do business with.
Ensure you have smart screen (in Internet Explorer) turned on.
Regularly backup your important files.
You can backup your files with a cloud storage service that keeps a history or archive of your files, such as OneDrive which is now fully integrated into Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, and Microsoft Office.
After you've removed the ransomware infection from your computer, you can restore previous, unencrypted versions of your Office files using "version history".
See the question "How do I get my files back?" above for more help on how to use this feature in OneDrive.
For more tips on preventing malware infections, including ransomware infections, see:
Microsoft doesn't recommend you pay the fine. There is no guarantee that paying the ransom will give you access to your files.
If you've already paid, see the question "What should I do if I've paid?" above.
How to remove the ransomware depends on what type it is.
You can try to unlock your browser by using Task Manager to stop the web browser's process:
Open Task Manager. There are a number of ways you can do this:
Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar and click Task Manager or Start Task Manager.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
In the list of Applications or Processes, click on the name of your web browser.
Click End task. If you are asked if you want to wait for the program to respond, click Close the program.
In some workplaces, access to Task Manager may be restricted by your network administrator. Contact your IT department for help.
When you open your web browser again, you may be asked to restore your session. Do not restore your session or you may end up loading the ransomware again.
See the question "How do I protect myself from ransomware" above for tips on preventing browser-based ransomware from running on your PC.
Method 1: Use the Microsoft Safety Scanner in safe mode
First, download a copy of the Microsoft Safety Scanner from a clean, non-infected PC. Copy the downloaded file to a blank USB drive or CD, and then insert it into the infected PC.
Try to restart your PC in safe mode:
When you're in safe mode, try to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Method 2: Use Windows Defender Offline
Because ransomware can lock you out of your PC, you might not be able to download or run the Microsoft Safety Scanner. If that happens, you will need to use the free tool Windows Defender Offline:
See our advanced troubleshooting page for more help.
Make sure your PC is protected with antimalware software.
Microsoft has free security software that you can use:
If you have Windows 10 or Windows 8.1, your PC comes with antimalware software: Windows Defender.
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you should install antimalware software, such as Microsoft Security Essentials.
You can update Microsoft security software on our updates page.
If you don't want to use Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials, you can download other security software from another company. Just make sure it is turned on all the time, fully updated, and provides real-time protection.
