The Mokuton kekkei genkai allows the user to instinctively create earth and water chakra and use them simultaneously to create wood, trees and different forms of plant life. Their chakra is literally converted into a source of life. The most dangerous and famous aspect of this advanced element is that it has the power to suppress/absorb the chakra of the Bijuu (and possibly humans) to bend them to the user's will.
What if Naruto was born with this kekkei genkai?
Thoughts and possibilities:
1) Ability-wise, Mokuton is pretty damn versatile and we've seen its potential destructive power when Madara fought the Shinobi Alliance. Other than the basics, he wouldn't actually need any other ninjutsu and he's create enough to bring entirely new wood-style jutsu to the table.
2) The relationship between Naruto and Kurama would change. Naruto would have the potential to steal away its chakra and dominate it which Kurama would be fully aware of.
3) The dynamic between Naruto and other jinchuuriki would provide him with a unique advantage over them though it doesn't guarantee him victory should he fight them. But it can open up interesting interactions between them when he can literally neutralise their strongest abilities.
3) Naruto would naturally be a significant obstacle for the Sound/Sand Invasion when he could have the power to stop Gaara from unleashing Shukaku.
4) Orochimaru would have an interest since Naruto would be a living specimen with the Mokuton that was natural rather than genetically modified.
5) Danzo would have the knowledge that Konoha's jinchuuriki has the potential to control the Kyuubi to an unprecedented degree.
6) Kakuzu, having battle against the First Hokage, might take a personal interest in Naruto and deliberately seek out a fight with him.
7) The other villages would likely feel threatened that someone else with the First Hokage's power had appeared, potentially being capable of rendering their jinchuuriki helpless and become another ninja god.
8) When and where Naruto discovers this power could effect who knows he has it and opportunities that stem from it.
If there's any story I'd like to write it'd be a Mokuton!Naruto fic so I thought it'd be interesting to get some other thoughts on the subject. Discuss.
