Why did no one else in the Narutoverse inherit wood style?

[dtsleo]

Yamato doesn't count cuz he was genetically engineered, as was Zetsu. If it was such a powerful style from a powerful clan, why is it that the first hokage was the only one to have that style?

Maybe Naruto will gain it at some point. Kishi is already making a vague connection between Naruto's life force and the white zetsus turning back into plants.

Senju has earth and water release, Hashirama was just skilled enough to combine the two.

 

[Ciao]

Village Hidden in the Leaves. 'Nuff said.

Basically, Kishi wanted to make the wood style special to the Leaf Village.

 

[rollin]

I think that it requires a lot of life-force and hashirama is the only one with enough life-force to do it

 

[King Volcano]

I've been thinking about that too, it does seem odd, there's only one known actual wood-style user, but oh well!

 

[sasuke base]

You just have to combine water as and earth

 

[Ultimate Beast]

I predict Naruto will get it somehow

 

[The Alchemist]

You just have to combine water as and earth

And you have to breathe life into it. Water and Earth makes all kinds of things, primarily mud, so simply combining the two isn't all that's required.

 

[Anorien16]

Perhaps its due to a recessive gene . . . ?

that makes sense. still wonder why the first was the only one to do it naturally.

maybe. a very rare recessive gene. or a mutation.

 

[jaykuhz]

Yamato, Zetsu, Obito, and Madara have it ! ! ! ! ! !

 

[WhistleBlower]

Because Kishimoto didn't want it to be. That is why sir

Every guy has wood style

Please no . Naruto would be too OP if he did .

 

[medal32]

Cuz its useless

 

[dtsleo]

ha, so we assume.

Senju has earth and water release, Hashirama was just skilled enough to combine the two.

who ever said the senju had water and earth? It's a kekkai genkai, a bloodline limit. What he is asking is how come no one else related to him has inherited the bloodline trait.

 

[LordYinYang]

Yamato, Zetsu, Obito, and Madara have it ! ! ! ! ! !

cos it was hashi's genetics implanted or infused into their dna.

 

[Zebstrika]

First of all, bloodline limits are rare. Secondly, even if there was another Mokuton user they may not have been as good as Hashirama and consequently not as popular as Hashirama.
