You can make clones, make your own forest, houses, ride atop a beast construct and pawn all creation with a titantic wood construction.
Hyouton couldn't even stand punches from V1 Naruto in his weakest form.
that's NV logic, Ice is harder than most wood
and besides, the ice naruto punched was a mirror... the thinnest form of ice and even me or you could shatter a mirror with a punch if we try
>hashirama has always used thick wooden sculptures, so why would you even bring up naruto smashing a mirror? let's see him smash a ice dragon with a single punch
if hashirama made a wood mirror, naruto could probably break through it with a kick in his base
BTW, you can make clones with ice too, make your own ice palace/snowland and make your own ice monsters
and to top it all off, ice looks better
