Why is Hashirama so strong? Well, If you think about it, he's made from 100% hashirama's cells

Oh great, when Hashirama activates his wood element, everyone cheers in awe, but when I activate mine I get a restraining order

Madara: I have Susanoo and Nine Tails Hashirama: I am Groot

Yamato is a better Wood user than Hashirama. Why? Because he can make houses with paint. *WITH PAINT*

The only reason Hashirama was so strong was because he's immune to splinters

SwagKage also has Wood release, but it only activates when he sees Madara

We need Hashirama cells to bring backthe Amazon forest.

Hashirama is so strong that he just ignored Madara. Madara: I have been waiting for you Hashirama. Hashirama: I'll deal with you later. Madara: 🤐

It's so op because trees are op in the verse. A tree created chakra

We need a 10- tails, Six-Paths sage mode Hashirama with 2 Mangekyo Rinnegan, who does 1000 push-ups, 1000 sit-ups, and a 10km run a day, and perfected the art of Ultra Instinct.

Madara: I have a Susano’o cladded onto the Nine-Tails, how can you defeat me? Hashirama: *Eat trees.*

I love how he actively avoids saying Hashirama's wood 😂

I assume wood release is related or derived from the divine tree. I would think wood release is made up of water, earth, and yang release since it creates life (plants/trees). The chakra absorption characteristic is definitely a plus.

Wood is a pretty good fuel. But in Narutoverse Wood release is made of water and earth release, water being stronger than fire and earth being neutral. So overall, WOOD DOESN'T BURN IN FIRE. - *Narutoverse* *Chemistry* *Department*

my question is how did Hashirama get sage mode ? Jiraya and Naruto learnt from toads and got toad sage mode Orochimaru went to Ryuchi cave to learn from snakes SOOO... DID HASHIRAMA GO TO A F!#@ING TREE TO LEARN WOOD SAGE MODE!!!!?!?!?!?!?

Madara: EMS, Susano'o, Kurama, İndra's Reincarnation. Hashirama: *Wood* take it or leave it.

"One thousand armed, wooden, Buddha Gundam Mech" Hahaha this killed me :D

I've always wanted to know just how the duck did hashirama die.

2:33 whose a good boi, whose a good boi, your a good.boi

I'd like to imagine that wood release (and grass elementals in general) are so powerful because plants are living things and have some sort of life source, unlike fire or wind which are very basic nonliving elements.

Do a video on puppet Justus and that stuff

Poor Hashirama was one of the strongest shinobis, yet they couldn't cremate him to stop people from abusing his power 😭

I wish I have a power like wood release so that I can refill the amazon forest.

Explain tobirama's Justus like the flying Raijin or even the raikages thunder cloaks

Wish I could grow my wood like that...

I love how fire release has no effect on wood

Y’all think I could grow some weed with Wood release?

“Wooden Buddha gundamn mech” probably the best name I’ve ever heard of it

Six paths iruka sensei, strongest character

This is a little bit of speculation in my part, but when you think about it, wood release is the closest transformation to natural energy (AKA senjutsu). This is the only nature that is able to create organic structures capable of transporting chakra, which sort of resembles how natural energy behaves on one's body and would also explain why wood release is able to supress chakra. Yamato already showcased that he can create entire ecosystems and landscapes with just this nature, and hashirama can enter sage mode with very ease and use it incredibly well. At least for me, things actually fit well.

I think that wood release is a version of the divine tree power. It's wood, and it has that chakra suppression thing that makes me really think it's basically the same, just relative in power to the user

This is why Wood Release is my favorite nature chakra type because it is just BEAST!

maybe wood release is so good because chakra originally came from a tree. I don't I'm just spitting ideas

Since Naruto now has hashiramas cells mixed with his already almost limitless chakra reserves, could he maybe do the insane things that hashirama was capable of? I understand, he can use all 5 basic natures now so I see no reason why he couldn't.

Hashirama could regrow the entire Amazon forest back

I wonder who would win in a fight. Sage Mode Hashirama in his prime or the current Sasuke.

If the arm Tsunade made for Naruto was made from Hashirama's cells, shouldn't he be able to use Wood Release? Speaking of Naruto's Arm, why does he still wear bandages around it? You think by the time he would have children, his arm would heal and no longer need bandages. Also, Swagkage, if you're reading can you do a video on the differences between Lightning Blade, Chidori and Raikiri?

" *Hashirama has big strong tree* "

we gonna ignore the fact that hashirama caught a tailed beast bomb and then proceeded to slam it into madara like a rasengan

Please do a video on all the Teleportation and speed techniques Characters posses. Such as Body Flick, Kamui, Space-Time Jutsu etc. Characters including Minato, Tobirama, Hanzo, Shisui, 3rd and 4th Raiage, Obito, Sasuke etc.

maybe wood release is considered so powerful because it naturally drains and suppresses the chakra of its surroundings to make it grow. like say hashirama fighting madara. during the fight he probably drains off chakra from living things and madara himself and made the shinsu senju. just a thought. don't kill me

1:10 I noticed that the only Wood Style jutsu Madara used in the anime were jutsu that he had already seen Hashirama use in at least the Final Valley. The fact that the base Sharingan allows one to observe and copy a jutsu’s hand signs adds to this. Danzo was unable to perform any of the actual jutsu himself because he lacked the qualities that made the Hokage (in both senses), Yamato was personally trained by Danzo but lacked the Chakra levels needed for the terraforming, and by the time Obito was operational, Madara was dead and the former had to settle for Zetsu. I guess there’s no beating the real deal.

Wood release = earth/water/yang Considering that indra and the uchiha clan have a strong affinity to yin I would think that ashura and he's reincarnations have a affinity to yang,just like Naruto, that would explain why only hashirama has it, making wood release a kekkei tota

Explain Sealing Techniques

I think part of the reason the wood release as Hashirama was using it was so potent was because it also involved a perfect control of yin-yang release. Unlike Yamato and other wood-users his jutsu usually created actual living trees rather than wooden planks. Needing the yin for form and the yang for life, that could go a long way into explaining exactly why this kekkei genkai is so rare and hard to master. Unlike the truth-seeking orbs though, which incorporate all chakra natures as well as yin-yang release, Hashirama's wood release would only need perfect control of earth and water alongside the yin-yang releases. Also if you're still looking for topics, you could perhaps do one or two on the different jutsu available to Indra and Ashura descendants. Indra's descendants have the sharingan and all sorts of ocular jutsu, but I think it might just be possible that there are certain jutsu techniques that can be used by others but only mastered by those of Ashura's descent. It might just be my limited knowledge but the only people who mastered sage mode were all of Ashura's descend, aside from Kabuto who basically cheated to get it by injecting god knows what into himself. Another example could be the flying raijin jutsu of which the only two proficient users were Tobirama and Minato, whilst other high-level ninja had to group and take significant preparations just to use it once. Maybe Ashura's descendants have the only bodies that are able to fulfill the requirements of mastering those high-level jutsu?

You forgot to mention that Yamato used a tracking wood style jutsu as well that allowed him to track a target down no matter how far away they got or what jutsu they used to stealth themselves. It was that tracking seed and he used it in combination with the literal ability to merge himself with any form of wood, such as exposed tree roots, to be the best tracking ninja. All of this was because of his wood release chakra and did not require much of his chakra to use.

Wouldn't it make more sense that wood release is earth combined with yang release? Especially since we've seen people combine earth and water to make mud release. It also makes more sense knowing that the Uchiha cast amatarasu by combining yin release with fire

So, since this question was never answered in your previous video on kekkai genkai. why wouldn't someone who has both earth and water chakra natures be able to get wood release through training? Why is hashirama's dna necessary?

One thing I've noticed about Wood Release that could explain it's power is the fact that it makes *living things*. None of the other nature transformations do so, besides YinYang. Even Yang Release by itself hasn't actually been shown to do so, only stated that it's based around such a feat. However, this leads to my next point as to why Hashirama in particular was so skilled with it - He inherited the Sage of Six Path's body, aka his "Yang" energy. Earth+Water+Yang=OP. The Yang also besides giving more vigorous life to his Wood Release (basically super MiracleGrow lololol), it also explains his ability to heal so quickly and fully (don't forget his kekkei genkai is life-bearing Wood on top of that so he could "grow" himself back naturally anyways, just as only his DNA could be used to make artificial limbs for other shinobi), AND his Sage mode mastery without any known teaching - because he HAD nature energy in him, much less amassing it into Sage mode (and also makes his Wood, which is obviously part of NATURE lol, that much more powerful when using said Sage mode aka NATURE energy!). Hope this helps!! :D

Moegi (Konohamaru's teammate) also naturally inherited wood release without needing Hashirama cells "at least, as far as we know". She is never shown using it but we know she has It.

The craziest thing I've seen done with wood release was in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 and 4 video games, but I'm pretty sure that Hashirama could pull this off with his regular on screen abilities as well. It was one of his ultimate jutsu in both games. It's on the same level of craziness as Sasuke's blaze release planetoid explosion in Storm 4. First he beat his opponent down within the bringer of darkness genjutsu. Then, he uses deep forest emergence to trap them within a giant tree. He then proceeds to light the tree on fire and blow it up with his opponent trapped inside. How exactly are you suppose to stop that!

And yet we still don't know why hashirama is the only one with wood style

man the shinobi alliance would've been doubly fucked had Kabuto revived Hashirama. I mean... the dude defeated Madara when he had both the rinnegan and wood release...

Madara: has like 15 reasons why he's OP Hashirama: *I have a tree.* Also worlds' ultimate battle Six Paths Ramen Guy vs. Ultra Instinct Shaggy

This is my hypothesis for how wood release surpresses chakra: Chakra is made up of spiritual energy, and wood release is kind of like natural energy since... well, wood is in the trees and stuff. There's probably enough energy inside the wood wood release creates so it counteracts chakra, therefore making chakra surpressed. *EDIT:* This is a hypothesis, not some stupid data book s- [poop] explanation.

*Particle release should be OP.* -But this series is based in the myths before scientific development.

wood release is essentially creating a living thing

I think another interesting aspect is that wood release is essentially an ability to create life. Unlike the many other chakra combinations, such as lava, ice, dust, magnet etc, trees are actual lifeforms. So when Hashirama makes a gigantic tree golem he actually creates a life form to fight for him, unlike when Ōnoki creates a stonegolem that he has to fully manipulate to actually move because stone isn't alive in any sense of the word. This might enhance their capability.

Naruto had Hashirama cells so can he use Wood Release too? And will he be able to control it because Naruto's Chakra was similar to Hashirama?

I always thought, that since wood release is composed of water and earth release. That it conbinded the properties of both, effectively making it both super flexible and super durable

2:31 looks like the wood golem petting kurama XD

Here is a theory: THe reason wood release is badass and rare is probally something like the woods are somehow connected to the god tree the one kaguya ate the fruit from and the reason its rare is because wood release is probally something like water+earth+Yang chakra. Since yang chakra is physical form something like that. With the yang earth water and some chakra from the god tree hashirama can use wood release...FYI: THEORY JUST A THOERY

Can you explain the reaper death seal

Hashirama's type of wood is the same as the Divine Tree: it drains chakra (probably at a very high rate since he put Kurama to sleep in a few seconds)

5:12 Thanks Swagkage, I now need to wipe my tea from my flatscreen from the outburst of laughter.

Even though this is never stated I always thought it was so powerful because trees are living things which posses a chakara and therefore the wood release has a nutural infused chakara within the wood that is created. It is like a way of creating a sort of life.

When you get to scorch release, please compare it to amaterasu. I thought amaterasu was the strongest fire style jutsu(not including variations), but scorch release kills on impact. Your videos are great by the way.

If we take the part of creation from Wood Release, and compare it to all other transformations of nature... Wouldn't Ice Release be potentially as strong as Wood Release?

I just like hearing you talk, you can explain anything and I'd be entertained

I think the idea of why wood style is good other than the whole chakra suppression thing is that wood is easier to manipulate than something like stone and doesn’t need as much chakra enhancement to have a lot of force behind it as wind or water. It’s sort of like magnet release but you don’t have to bring your own sand of whatever material you control since you can instead spend some extra chakra to grow the wood

It's not that Hashirama's chakra was endless, it's that he was a regenerator and used his senjutsu to strengthen his mokuton. Madara actually does exceed Hashirama in wood release since he becomes the new sage of six paths and takes complete control of the shinju and it's roots, making them wrap around everyone in the world. He probably could have gone beyond hashirama and used the mokuton on the bijuus as well when he was revived, but he seemed to imply it was ungraceful for he to use it on them since it wasn't his jutsu, which was why he used the Limbo instead. If you want to know the secret behind mokuton everyone, I'll tell you. It's not written in stone, but is heavily implied that Hashirama uses his life force, aka a third form of energy to power the mokuton. I created this theory out of the fact that the mokuton is alive unlike any other kekkei genki, which would more or less actually make it a kekkei tota. I also believe overuse of either the mokuton or regenerating is either one reason or the sole reason hashirama died prematurely, because he exhausted his life span. Similar concepts surface in the series to support it, including the mangekyou causing blindness and sickness, rasenshuriken destroying Naruto's chakra network and risking his life span due to his rapid healing by kurama, Tsunade rapidly aging and going into a coma from overuse of the byakugou, and of course, the eight gates, which slowly break and burn up the body. I think due to how powerful it was was the reason Kishimoto didn't give it to Naruto. Plus, he probably wanted it to symbolize Hashirama, and Hashirama's clones and mokuton were used as plot by the main antagonists.

Old, but... Wood is considered sacred in Japan. There you have the reason.

The reason I've always assumed that Wood Release was capable of suppressing chakra is because that's where chakra came from in the first place, the Shinju tree and subsequently the Juubi, both of which are seemingly made of wood, and since that's where chakra originated, apparently in Kishimoto's mind at least, that means it has power over chakra.

Madara: "I have the sharingan and God tier fire release. What can you do?" Hashirama: "I can grow plants."

What I wanna know is why hashirama is the only one to naturally be born with wood release. It is OP as heck so it makes sense for there to only be one. Also I want to see how he discovered his wood release, like some kind of filler episode of him discovering it.

pls do the Uzumaki clan😊

Hasirama the only guy who can say he gives his wood to every man woman and child and it's totally fine

I’m just confused on how the thousand hand statue works. Live how does it attack, does it just run into them do the hand reach out or what?

Aye no homo but, Don't Swagkage's voice should sexy as hell?

just wondering, how do you record your audio for voice overs?

I just realised after rewatching the chakra release videos the reason why wood release was only naturally possessed by Harshirama was since he had massive amounts of chakra reserves. Because of this he would be able to create earth and water more easily where wood would also come easily. In his water and earth release videos swagkage states that a user it would be easier to manipulate those elements around instead of creating it from chakra. Or there could just be some other reason I don't know.

2:25 This has more to do with cultural connotations. Apparently there’s a practice in Japanese Shintoism that involves trapping (or sealing) malevolent yokai (like kitsune) into natural objects. Usually trees. This is actually the origin of the Final Fantasy villain Exdeath, but that’s another story.

The reason Wood release is “OP” is and can do the shit it can like suppress Tailed beasts is because it’s the closest thing to Nature(Sage) chakra. It alone is not the strongest Kekkai genkai. It’s just that Hashirama + Sage mode + Ashuras life energy. Make Hashiramas cells near godlike. Hashirama himself is the strongest, not his Wood style. His cells are sought after for its strong healing and power boost. Wood style is just a side effect.

Wood release is probably powerful because its flexible unlike earth. And uses alive constructs which means it can probably carry chakra much more easily then any other element. The same would be true if flesh release exists except unlike woods expansive nature it would be localized to the body making its ability to expand minimalist. Probably similar to orochimaru's techniques like alongating his neck

I think the chakra suppression aspect of wood release comes to the fact that it’s creating life. If you can create life you should be able to manipulate chakra which is life energy

You should make a video explaining the pros and cons of each type of the clone techniques like lighting, water, wood, shadow, etc

Hashirama''s BIG STRONG 🌲🌲🌳💪💪💪

I think wood release is op because it has more vertatility Like rock its hard and can create resistant structures that doesnt depend on constant chackra to stand and resist hard damage (unlike fire or water techniques that needs constant chakra to stand) But like water is ridiculously flexible and can resist impacts without cracking, took any shape and create complex structures heck complex ENTITIES like it was a liquid Also because wood is a living thing imbued with its own natural chackra this could facilitate the control in general

whats the song on the end of the video?

Hashirama smiling when he saw madara covering kurama in his susanoo.

I would like to know what sage mode hashirama had like is the sage mode from shikkotsu woods cause like naruto,jirayia,minato got theirs from Mount myoboku and kabuto got his from that cave with the snakes and stuff so where'd hashirama get his

2:10 lol wood user in Danzo's "root organization."

Him: what poppin Me: brand new white just hoppin

My theory as to why wood release can supress chakra is that it kinda works like the god tree, we have seen what the god tree can do and when we think about wood release it kinda functions like the god tree. Both use chakra to supress others chakra, tho the god tree can directly suck it out of a person. That probably is because the god tree has rinnegan ablities and the rinnegan can also absorb chakra.

What do u expect from a verse where chakra came from himself a living tree .

Explain senju/uzumaki clans please?!

Swagkage: what's popping Me: don't mind me just watching

My guess that the reason why wood release can affect chakra is because it's the only *living* element release (with possible exception of bone manipulation by Kimimaro), and probably one of the reasons, if not the reason, why is it so unique and super rare. It could explain a lot of things, including Hashirama's talent with sage mode, 'inifnite' chakra, and such.

1:10 Naruto had hashirama cells...
