Hashirama heard the man's words and decided that convincing him was easier said than done. His expression turned even more serious. After speaking, he seemingly disappeared behind the trees. Suddenly, bean pods emerged from the ground. However, Hashirama being the very experienced and sharp one, noticed that the bean pods didn't crack a hole in the ground from where they emerged, neither did they give off any shadow as the other plants before them.
Was he a Mokuton user?
It seemed impossible, as only he possessed this rare Kekkai Genkai. Still, he didn't take any risks and kneaded chakra in his body. Being a natural master of the Earth element, he released a burst of Earth chakra from each point in his body and manipulated it with ease to form an armor of Earth which had extendable spikes, which was to pierce through the bean pods, but it phased right through it. As he had expected, it was a Genjutsu. As he came to his senses, an explosive kunai reached him and hit his armor, exploding right there, as the armor saved him from instant death. He then dispersed the armor, although as the rocks just hit the ground with a thud, bolts of lightning rushed towards his position. Quickly reacting, he burst forth a pillar of water from below his position, as it would lift him up in the sky. He however jumped away from the pillar, before the lightning could electrocute him, since water being a natural conductor of electricity would kill him if his body had contact with the pillar. While jumping away, he in mid-air, weaved a single handseal and summoned a massive amount of sticky mud from the sky, which would be very heavy and it's hitting power and speed would increase due to the downward gravitational force. It would immobilize him and crush his body if he didn't defend in time.
(Doton: Koka no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Hardening Technique
Rank: S
Type: Offense/Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (-15 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user releases a burst of earth chakra from all over his body. As he does this, a multitude of rock seemingly grows from his skin, forming a large, dense armour or rock much bigger and bulkier than the users original size. The armour can be manipulated and used to create extendable weapons to strike a target with like rudimentary swords or hammers. The downside is that the user cannot mold techniques from other elements apart from earth while sustaining the armor. The armor can be manifested in only specific parts of the body if the user so chooses.

Description: The user does 2 handseals (Ram → Snake) and creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of sticky mud (in all similar to that of Swamp of the Underworld Technique), covering them. The mud is very heavy and thick as well as adhesive, making it impossible to move if caught and easily crushing an enemy underneath. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.
