In response to your comment though, keep in mind that Mud Release is novel only and only occurred in one person, and the novels weren't written by Kishimoto.

No only that, there already exists precedents where a Kekkai Genkai using the same two elements end up having wildly different results. For example, Lava Release varies wildly, as sometimes it's lava, sometimes it's corrosive quick lime, sometimes it's acidic mud, sometimes it's rubber, etc. Boil Release similarly has a couple different forms.

So it's not unheard of for Kekkai Genkai to just be used with different applications.

On top of that, id Naruto was going to have Wood Release, he'd have it by now. If being an Uzamaki and being Asura's transmigrant were the key factors, then he'd have Wood Release.

But, as you've said in the OP, he'd need affinities for Water and Earth. He doesn't have those. So no, he wouldn't have it naturally
