First off. The gist of this thread is about how mokuton isn't really limited to Hashirama, but is attainable by all Senju. Or at the very least, every Senju can awaken within them something similar to Mokuton.
The requirements are:
1. Must be a Senju.
2. Must have an extremely large chakra pool (comparable to Hashirama's).
3. Must possess the will of fire.
4. Must have earth and water release.
Now, let's first take a look at the Uchiha. And I'm going to be quoting lines from the below manga pages that are most important to my theory.
When Uchiha suffer after experiencing the loss of a loved one or despair.....Special chakra sprouts inside their brain.
Needless to say, it doesn't necessarily have to be the loss of a loved one, but any kind of great emotional distress.
^The sharingan aligns with the person's feelings and quickly makes the person stronger. The deeper their darkness becomes, the more powerful their eyes get.
An example below.
His hatred has grown, giving him more power. .
A quick summary for all the above. The Uchiha obtain their sharingan by undergoing emotional stress. If this stress is overwhelming, it can take them further down the path to darkness, and in doing so, they become stronger. This new-found power lies within the eyes.
Let's do a very quick examination on the will of fire. As we all know, it originated from within the Senju clan.
It revolves around love, which were the ideals of the young son of the so6p. Though, it also entails power through the will to protect something/someone.
It overcomes odds. The pages below are from the chapter 'inherited will'.
And then this page.
When they are protecting something important, that's when a shinobi's true strength appears.
I'm pretty sure you guys already know where I'm going with this. It has always been the power of the curse of hatred vs the power of the will of fire. Uchiha vs Senju.
First. I must stress that there is no difference between the curse of hatred and the will of fire. Just as the Uchiha obtains their eyes as they spiral toward hatred, the senju becomes more powerful through the will of fire. Both are emotional states. To be a true inheritor to the will of fire, one must not break, and have the guts to not give up. This requires a formidable heart and mind. And just as a special chakra sprouts insides the Uchiha brain when they lose a great love they once possessed. Something happens within the body of a senju once they inherit the will of fire, on the condition they also have a large chakra pool and/or strong life force, which are the characteristics of a senju. As we have seen with Danzo and Yamato, Hashirama's abilities isn't easily handled without having the actual body.
Again. The curse of hatred and the will of fire are both emotionally and mentally induced. Furthermore, the elder son inherited the eyes, the younger the body. The elder son's emotional states effect their eyes (spiritual/mentally), and the younger their body (physical/life force).
Now, toward the last part of my theory. Which I think will make my theory more convincing as a whole. Don't you think it's strange that Hashirama sooooo conveniently has an ability that controls the tailed beast?
The uchiha, the senju 'other halfs' has the mangyeko which controls the fox. Although, not many has awoken the mangyeko. Brothers have even killed brothers to obtain this ability, but failed.
Anyways. Let's take a look at the juubi and Kurama.
^The juubi is pure natural energy.
Now take a look at Kurama below. He appears to be concentrating in the same manner that Naruto was when he was absorbing Natural energy. It's not absurd to think Kurama consist of Natural energy, at leasy partly. He did come from the juubi after all. This would also explain why they say the tailed beasts cannot be destroyed, but will just be reincarnated. Because it's something created by nature itself.
They used Hashirama's mokuton to better control the juubi, mokuton is even capable of absorbing the chakra of bijuu.
I believe this to be because the Mokuton is a form of life itself. Otherwise, nature. Remember, nature came first and then the tailed beasts. Think of it as nature taking back it's energy.
So uhm...I feel like I had so much more to say. :shrug:
Anyways, to try and sum it up. Mokuton is only possible because of the strong life force of the senju. If the life force is great enough, the senju can activate it by inheriting the will of fire. Much like how the Uchiha activate their 'special chakra' through the curse of hatred. This may even tie in with the thoeries I've seen about how rinnegan came from the Juubi, which in turn went to the Uchiha. The natural energy of the Juubi was probably inherited by the senju.
Tell me your thoughts. :y
