Does Kishi like plants? Like what's his deal here? Wood in this manga made the Kurama whimper like a cat, made a giant warrior demon thing that cuts mountains look like a two year old, heck, it even makes the rinnegan look bad.

How is trees, plants, and pollin so powerful? I would've expected fire to be stronger.

And how does water and earth make wood?! Water+earth=mud!

Have you seen Tungsten? Strongest alloy in the world, wood campared to Tungsten is like comparing Tenten to the sage of 6 paths

also remember, it's hard to burn wood that is currently alive. although most people on nb probably have never tried to light a fire before so I'm not surprised so many people think fire > wood.

It's a Secret technique that hashirama has only been known to posess, excluding yamato.

It's not just a wodden board, its tree trunks coming out of the ground from every direction bent on destroying you, there's not a whole lot of options you can use when a whole forest is coming your way unless you can battle it with brute force like madara.

"Mud Release: Super Ultimate-- ah f*ck it." -_-

Yeah "Mud-ton" is not working.

EDIT Kishimoto made mud seem cool in the Three Way Deadlock between the Sannin. Jiraiya's Swamp of the Underworld was bawws.

Maybe its Kishi's way of using symbolism. Wood creating things and being the strongest using the life energy of the things around it. Fire is cool, but isn't fire used for destruction? Not a good element for a ninja who brought peace to the Senju and Uchiha. And ya fire and wood are opposites in here, but fire is already taken by the Uchiha. So da water in da wood style...I'm just rambling tbh.
