Summary

Madara obtained Wood Release by merging Hashirama Senju's cells with his own, thanks to a piece of flesh he bit off during their final battle in the Valley of the End.
Wood Release is a unique kekkei genkai of Hashirama Senju, requiring special genetic material for use, which only Hashirama and his genetic clones can fully utilize.
Despite Madara's advanced abilities and genetic experiments, he can't use Wood Release at the same level as Hashirama, showing that only its owner can exploit its full potential.

Madara Uchiha is undoubtedly considered the strongest shinobi in Naruto. His chakra pool is incredible, and with his combat experience and learned techniques, he can easily fight all the Kage at the same time. Moreover, he can use the kekkei genkai of his main enemy Hashirama Senju. And next, we will tell you how Madara was able to get Wood Release in Naruto.

Wood Release is a unique technique of Hashirama, which, unlike the Sharingan or Byakugan, is not passed on to descendants. Despite this, such a brilliant shinobi as Madara was able to add it to his arsenal.

How Wood Release Was Created

Unique Technique Fully Available Only for Hashirama Senju and Ten-Tails

Before we look at Madara's Wood Release, we should learn about the creation of this technique in Naruto. It is a unique kekkei genkai of Hashirama Senju, which only he could fully use. In essence, the technique is a combination of the basic natures of Earth and Water.

“His chakra became the root of the plant’s life force!! So that’s the legendary mokuton ninjutsu of the Shodaime-sama, who settled the anarchy and founded the Leaf!!”

It is not surprising that Hashirama was able to learn it, because he mastered all the basic nature transformations. In addition to this, the main role was played by the peculiarity of his body. Since he was the reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki, his cells were significantly different from other shinobi. Note that Asura Ōtsutsuki could also use Wood Release.

Thanks to them, he could regenerate wounds faster than even Tsunade. And these same cells helped him combine Earth and Water nature to create Wood Release Techniques in different forms.

This technique has dozens of different usages. The most remarkable is the creation of wooden clones and the growth of a dense forest in just a few seconds. In addition, Hashirama could create wooden armor around his body, as well as huge armed golems.

In addition, it was this kekkei genkai that allowed Hashirama to catch most of the tailed beasts alone. By binding the target with roots, he could draw chakra from them until they were completely weakened.

How Madara Got Wood Release

A Piece of Best Friend Can Not Only Save a Life

Besides Hashirama Senju, no one could learn Wood Release, not even his descendants. And the reason lies in the special cells of the God of Shinob i. The exception is Yamato since he is a genetic clone of Hashirama. And in the case of Madara, it was not without genetic experiments.

During the final battle in the Valley of the End, Madara lost and was mortally wounded. But in the end, he was able to bite off a piece of flesh of his main enemy and friend to survive thanks to the regenerative abilities of Hashirama. As a result, the cells of the Hashirama Senju began to merge with Madara's body. This allowed him not only to survive but also to gain previously unseen power in the form of Rinnegan, the key to which was the cells of the Uchiha and Senju clans. Thus, Madara was able to obtain Wood Release in Naruto while still alive.

It is worth noting that genetic material is of key importance for using this technique. Only because these cells merged with Madara's body, he was able to use Wood Release after being resurrected with Edo Tensei. Moreover, he could use a more powerful version of the technique than in life, since Kabuto introduced even more Hashirama cells into him.

A side effect of this is the appearance of the Hashirama face on Madara's body. But even despite Madara's advanced abilities and genetic experiments, he cannot use Wood Release at the same level as Hashirama Senju. So it is obvious that no one except its owner can use the full potential of this technique.
