[DC Comics/Naruto] Could Swamp thing control Chakra users?

(spoilers ahead for later Naruto plot points)

So it is my understanding that chakra users are granted their powers from being descended from a woman who ate a fruit making her part God Tree. Since the God Tree is a plant, does that mean Swamp Thing could control chakra pathways within people?

Tangentially related: If Swamp Thing found the God Tree could he recreate it and use chakra himself?

Swamp Thing is a plant elemental, and has shown limited ability to interact with plant-based humanoids. For example, he was never shown able to control the Floronic Man despite the latter's plant-affinity, so chakra users (and, probably, Devil Fruit power holders) would probably be beyond his control. (Those users would still be vulnerable to Animal Man, however, because he is connected to the Red.)

As far as interacting with the God Tree itself, again, Swamp Thing has had mixed results. When he encountered a piece of wood from the Garden of Eden, for example, he was unable to affect it directly with his powers, but he was able to *graft* the piece to his form. Presumably if he encountered a piece of the God Tree he might be able to do something similar, and thus gain access to chakra in that manner - although, as with the piece of wood from Eden above, the access would be dependent on the physical integrity of the graft (i.e. if he formed a suit of God-Tree armor, sufficient damage would destroy it. Swamp Thing would survive this, since his elemental spirit is not tied to a single physical form, but he'd lose access to chakra when he re-grew a new body.)
