The Power of Wood Release and Hashirama's Legacy

• Hashirama Senju was originally a wooden release user.

• The Hashirama Cells released wood to many people.

Wood Release is a very powerful Kekkei Genkai, and fans can easily see that this may be the most powerful one in history. This ability sees the use of Water Release and Earth Release, and then these two natural elements combine together to produce Wood Release. Of course, this doesn't mean that a user ninja with Water Release and Earth Release can use Wood Release. To use Wood Release, you must have a unique skill to craft this jutsu. The first person fans knew he could use Wood Release was Hashirama Senju. To this day, Hashirama remains the best user of Wood Release that fans have ever seen.

There is only one person who can utilize that power: the First Hokage!!

Hashirama was able to control the plants around him with the power of Wood Release. He was able to sprout forests from scratch and completely change the surrounding terrain. Wood Release is very effective against all types of elemental powers, and among other things, this power has also been used to suppress the power of Tailed Beasts. Due to his natural ability to drain chakra, Wood Release was able to control Tailed Beasts and suppress their destructive nature, as seen several times throughout the series.

Seeing the incredible power of Wood Release, it is no surprise that Konoha wanted more Wood Release users. Of course, this is not because this ability was unfortunately not passed on to Hashirama's descendants. That said, experiments with Wood Release and Hashirama cells continued, ultimately leading to the creation of Yamato. Yamato's Wood Release was quite weak, and while it certainly helped keep the Nine Tails in check to a certain extent, it couldn't do much more than that. It was a shame compared to Senju Hashirama, who was not special at all when it came to battle.

Aside from Hashirama, the only good users of Wood Release that fans have seen in the story are Obito and Madara Uchiha. Both of these men had access to Wood Release through Hashirama Cells. During the final battle at the Valley of the End, it was Madara who tore off Hashirama's flesh and cultivated it in his hideout. In the end, he not only created the cells he transplanted into his own body, but also used them to create Obito's missing body half. Naturally, this allowed Obito to use Wood Release and Madara himself to utilize this power.

In the latter case, its power has been amplified to a whole new level. He utilized the Deep Forest Emergence during the Fourth Ninja War, and could have nearly wiped out the entire shinobi force with it if not for Naruto Uzumaki. In terms of destructive power, it can be said that Madara's version of Wood Release was almost on par with Hashirama's version.

Boruto implies that Matsuri is a wood release user.

Matsuri is a powerful spirit that can sense trees.

As the next few years pass, Madara Uchiha, Hashirama, and Obito also die. There would be no users of Wood Release left in the story other than individuals like Yamato or Orochimaru who continued to develop this power. But now boruto The series introduced fans to other users of Wood Release. Boruto: TBV Chapter 17 This user is none other than Matsuri, one of the Shinju. Matsuri is incredibly dangerous and, as hinted at in previous chapters of the story, can sense trees around him.

Trees are everywhere, even underground! – Matsuri

Matsuri is a special sensory type for Shinju. As fans may recall, Hashirama was a sensorial ninja, and this mainly depended on his ability to utilize Wood Release and Sage Mode. Matsuri himself said in the previous chapter that he can sense trees on Earth and everywhere else. Through these trees, she can be found by anyone anywhere, clearly indicating that she is also a user of Wood Release.

This isn't surprising to fans, considering Matsuri is a Shinju based on Moegi. As fans know, Moegi is a strong user of Earth and Water Release, and other databooks also state that he can utilize Wood Release. Unfortunately, she hasn't used this power yet, but she will eventually. However, through Matsuri, it is essentially confirmed that Moegi is also a user of Wood Release. Because Matsuri shouldn't have access to this permission without his parents.

How strong is Matsuri?

Matsuri must be an Otsutsuki level threat

So far, Matsuri's Wood Release has been boruto series. She utilized Earth Release, but her other skills still remain. What fans do know is that she is a very good sensor-type ninja, but other than that, her proficiency with Wood Lilith is still unknown. However, since it is a product of Ten-Tails itself, which fans know is a Wood Release user, its abilities will be very high. In fact, her Wood Release control is even higher than Moegi's and possibly Senju Hashirama's. Fans won't be surprised, considering she's essentially an overpowering Shinju capable of destroying planets. Of course, fans will soon see more of her in battles like Konohamaru, and when that happens, the true extent of her wood release abilities will be revealed for all to see.

As things stand, it is impossibly difficult for anyone to defeat the Matsuri in battle, but one way or another, the ninja must deal with this enormous threat with the power to utilize Wood Release, or else the Earth will face inevitable destruction. It will.
