Hashirama observed, and kept observing. He wondered what his student would change in and he felt nothing. No fear, no terror whatsoever and acted calm towards the change of appearance of his student.
''Eh... who's this fodder?! He seems quite old... and, what's with the faces?! CHANGE LOOKS ALREADY. I do not want to look in this man's ugly eyes no more, it hurts!''
As he got disgusted by the looks of a strange fodder, which he somehow remembered but in his head knew all too well who it was but acted differently nonetheless because of not fearing him as he had faced him many times before. The only man he slightly feared, but respect pure because of his fighting skills was the one and only Madara uchiha, and none other than that.
''Ah, anyways... got caught of guard. Uhm, well. How it can get canceled other than by the user? Lightning, or interruption by your opponent because you need to focus on changing appearance and once you get caught off guard then you'll lose your grip, and the wood wouldn't change into what you had in mind. But the stronger you'll become, the easier it gets and the faster you'll change into the desired person you want to.''
As he explained how this technique could get interrupted, he performed the exact same technique. And with the mere blink of an eye of his student, Hashirama had already changed into his very own student, and once again appeared like a flash in front of him, looking dull towards his eyes.
''See, like this. *gaze*''

As Hashirama changed in his student, he now proceeded training in this form and told him further instructions on how to perform the next technique.
''ALRIGHT! Now we will continue with the most epic, awesome, tiny, weakest but yet handy technique whom we all use! Wood users that is! Well, this technique can erupt from every part of your body. Your head, hand, leg, butt, back. Just, from everywhere. It can get erupted from underneath, can be performed whilst in the air and can even erupt from under water because of wood being so strong, forcing itself out the water. Or, if you just use logic, you'll know that you can create wood from water by inserting earth, combining it with the water thus creating wood. There are maaaaaaaaaaaaany combinations, to use this technique and you can do maaaaaaaany things with this technique, so give it a try! Perfor-... oh. I'm, it's, yeah....''
As Hashirama started stuttering, he stepped two steps back as he had just realized how close he was talking to his student and still was in his ''Yamato'' disguise so with a chakra blast, the wood redeemed from his body with ease as he started to laugh awkwardly towards his student.
(Mokuton No Jutsu) - Wood Style Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Attack/Defense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Creates small wood pillars or trees to trap, defend, or fight with. These can be created from the users own body or from the ground.
Brief description of how you perform the technique: Not wanting to hurt Shodaime, Yamato remembers his lesson on dummies and by simultaneously mixing his earth and water-natured chakra into wood-natured chakra, he sends his chakra through the earth about mid-range from him and grows a wooden dummy out of the ground. He makes sure it is as perfect as it can be but like his previous one, this one too had a tengu nose.
"Aha! There we go! Now I have someone to take out all my anger on."
Yamato then, using his wood-natured chakra and sending it towards the ground below him, grows a thin, wood pole from the ground next to him which he breaks off and takes with both hands. He then runs towards the dummy as it takes a ready stance. Once in short range of the dummy, Yamato then puts his balance into his left foot out to the right as he maneuvers around the dummy. He pivots himself in the air as he puts the pole down into the ground. Using his quick reflexes and keen intellect, as Yamato is about to kick the dummy from behind, he grows a small wood pillar (up to mid-range) from the underside of his foot and pierces the dummy into many brittle pieces. Using the momentum of spinning on the pole (like a stripper?) he spins himself in the air with the pole in his hand and gracefully lands on the ground. As he crouches, he holds the pole with his left hand and with his right hand he makes a sign of confrontation as he closes his eyes. He then looks on to his senpai with what looks like big, emotionless eyes that many would find either creepy or horribly ugly.
"Senpai...@__@ (his face resumes his normal, kind demeanor) How was that?"

How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skills, creative use, etc): I haven't really seen much fights with Hashirama & Yamato but using my creativity, you could either use it in CQC like making them appear anywhere on your body or linking several together to make a shield to protect against projectiles (would that even work?). You could also use them to boost yourself up like the earth pillar only, from what you mentioned, can be used even in water (following logic ofc). I don't know if you could use the pillars to restrain a target but if so, then it would be good to use if used effectively with other jutsu.
Limitations of the technique: I am not sure since I have no experience observing its use so I assume that it lacks strength especially if struck with fire/lightning. (?) Also because of its rank would it be quite brittle?
How to counter the technique: Depends on the situation since this technique has multiple applications. If used directly on me I could try to use the same technique to defend against the blow or prop myself into the air. I was wondering if it was used directly towards me then I could use the same technique at an angle to change the trajectory of their technique like to the side or upwards.
Questions regarding the technique: How strong are these pillars and how many can you allowed to create? Could a shield of several interlocking pillars block/defend against kunais, shuriken? Even if enhanced with wind/fire/lightning coating?
