A God Tree is a type of gigantic tree which grows by absorbing blood soaked into the ground from countless battles over a millennia. God Trees are born from Ten-Tails itself which acts as the Tree's seedling. In order for it to blossom from its seedling state into the tree, it must be fed the life of an Ōtsutsuki. The healthier and stronger the sacrifice is, the more powerful the Chakra Fruit it produces. A vessel of the Ōtsutsuki is also viable for sacrifice, though the biological data within the Kāma must have extracted to at least a majority percentage for it to work, and if not complete, the tree's size would be affected negatively. Due to its massive size and the conditions under which it is grown, the God Tree is revered by some cultures; humans used to worship its God Tree as a sacred pillar that extended into the heavens and remained ambivalent to all conflict. In the anime, a God Tree seed landed on Earth from a meteorite several millennia ago. It was believed that the God Tree nourished the land and helped it thrive, while in truth, the God Tree was slowly killing the land and its people, by draining natural energy from them.
