This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Naruto Uzumaki began his journey as one of the weakest ninja to ever live and rose to the pinnacle of strength himself to become the strongest shinobi of all time. While doing this, Naruto gained several power-upsHaving his perfect synchronization with the greatest Kurama, and finally tapping into Six Paths Sage Mode. It goes without saying that Naruto's greatest strengths are his tenacity as well as the Tailed Beast abilities he possesses, but he also needs to look at the Kekei Genkai he possesses.
Towards the end of Naruto series, Fans saw Naruto Uzumaki gain three different KKK Genkai abilitiesWhich is something most fans don't know. However, in Boruto series, Naruto has a chance to add another Kekkei Genkai to his already extensive arsenal, making him stronger than ever.

Naruto has access to both water and earth releases
In the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto Uzumaki gained access to three different KKK Genkai through his Tailed Beasts. The first of them all was Lava Release, which he gained access to thanks to Son Goku. Naruto also gained access to Boil Release through Kokuo, and eventually, he gained access to Magnet Release through Shukaku. He used these abilities extensively in his battles against Kaguya and Madara, and surprisingly, most fans didn't even know he had three different KKK genkai.
Besides the six paths, the Rinnegan has another great power. This is the serious seventh path, called the outside path. Those with the power of the fantasy Rinnegan have the power to rule over life and death. Nagato has given up his life because he trusts you. – Naruto Conan about the Rinnegan
Although these three abilities are interesting enough on their own, Naruto could add another Kekki Genkai to Boruto, especially since he may have lost the other three now. Coming to how Naruto Uzumaki can achieve Wood Release, the concept is quite simple. It is already clear in Naruto that he is a user of all five nature changes. In other words, Naruto can manipulate both Water and Earth Release, which is necessary to create Wood Release.
Naruto's Hashirama cells grant him special powers
Of course, this won't give him access to Wood Release alone, since he doesn't have the bloodline limit for it under normal circumstances. But astute fans of the series will remember that Naruto received a prosthetic arm made from Hashirama cells at the end of the original story. in other words, Hashirama's DNA and Kekki Genkai must be in his blood.
This power is immense. It must be more than him. But the drawbacks are too great. You see, the fact that it drains our lifespan is the key here. Because the chakras are connected, the power that comes into existence from the fragments of our lives also drains his life upon contact. That is the power of the Baryon mode. – Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
The fact that Naruto has both earth and water release, as well as Hashirama's cells in his body means he should be able to manipulate wood release with ease.. The reason why he never used this power could be because he has great abilities in his arsenal, thanks to his Tailed Beast abilities. Now, while Naruto doesn't have these powers, Wood Release will be one of his best assets in battle.
Naruto will become a monster with Wood Release Mastery
currently, After the loss of Kurama, Naruto has many abilities up his sleeve. However, when Naruto returns, he will need everything to be able to keep up with the monsters of the Boruto series. In other words, Naruto Uzumaki needs to use Wood Release. To add to that, fans should also keep in mind that Naruto is an advanced user of Sage Mode. The combination of the two powers will push him to the next level.
Hashirama was an absolute monster with Sage Mode and Wood ReleaseAnd there's no reason why Naruto can't be the same, or even stronger, because of all his years of experience.
Of course, for that, Naruto must return first. However, his comeback is a guarantee, and when it happens, he will reach a new level of strength.
