@Legion

Sorry for the late response, it was like 2:30 in the morning where I’m at so I was asleep pretty soon after I posted.

I’m not taking away from Hashi’s skill using Mokuton but it would be nuts to say that it wasn’t a huge advantage. The OP is acting like being born with wood release isn’t the same as being born with a Dojutsu, when it obviously is except NO ONE else has EVER been born with Mokuton. Hashirama is just Naruto born with arguably the best Kekkei Genkai, the life force to use it, and having people to train with him from a young age.

If Hashirama were a Sarutobi his reserves wouldn’t diminish by any noticeable degree imo. Tobirama didn’t have HUGE reserves on par with the Kyuubi or hell any of the tailed beast so I doubt Hashi would either. Hashi doesn’t have the lineage to justify his reserves so it must come from being an Reincarnate.
