He can only suppress it with the help of that Necklace that Naruto had and got destroyed, without it it is even more harder if he is capable of that at all.
And his power is just a small fraction of Hashirama's, we have only seen him do easy jutsu which are not that impressive, not on the same scale as Madara or Hashirama.
This might not be his true potential, meaning he didn't show us everything, but seeing how he gets tired and uses so much chakra for wood jutsu, i doubt he is capable of something on a bigger scale.
