the toads are allies with only the leaf village. not shinobi aside from leaf shinobi learn from them EVER. but one thing i might add is that hashirama is a senju and the senju are known as the clan of a thousand techniques. notice how he enters sage mode via special seals around his eyes of likely his own design those marks are also similar to tsunades seal. so what could be the case is that he simply sealed natural energy into those seals and when he releases them they act in a similar nature to orochimaru's curse seals which passively absorb nature energy
