The Wood Release Kekkei Genkai is one of the most overpowered abilities in Naruto. It was wielded by Hashirama Senju originally, and after him, many other characters also gained access to it. However, Hashirama was the only person who had this power naturally. The others just obtained it using his cells. We know how far Hashirama came using its powers.
He was considered the strongest Shinobi of his generation, and not even someone as strong as Madara Uchiha could manage to defeat him.
The power of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai was amazing, which is why many other people sought it as well. But, everyone, except Madara Uchiha, wasn’t able to utilize it its max potential.
In fact, there was a lot of difference between Hashirama’s Wood Release, and their own. But, Hashirama cannot possibly be the only shinobi in history to have this power. The have to be others as well.
And that’s what brings me to my topic, the existence of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai in Boruto. Simply put, I believe this Kekkei Genkai is just too important to be completely left out of the Boruto series.
The very first arc of Boruto focused on the Gozu Tennou, and if you’ve watched it, you probably know it had links to Hashirama’s Wood Release. So, early in the show, and we’re getting stuff related to his powers.
However, that wasn’t even the most important part. The most important part was the one where Sai was investigating on Wood Release and what he found was interesting. According to Sai’s report, the culprit behind the attacks had links to Wood Release ninjutsu, and he specifically said there are a few people in The Land of Fire who have access to this ability right now.
So that’s basically a confirmation that there are people with Wood Release Kekkei Genkai in the Land of Fire. But, who are these people? I believe we will find out soon as the series progresses further.
But, I do not believe they’ll be used by someone at Konoha. I believe it would rather be wielded by an antagonist. This is because we’ve already seen Hashirama’s cells being used for so many experiments which lead to disasters. So, of someone who has the same power as Hashirama, makes his appearance as a villain, it would be completely amazing.
Naruto Uzumaki should also technically be able to use Wood Release now that he had a prosthetic arm of Hashirama Senju’s cells. He can use all 5 natures, so it should be as easy for him as it was for Madara. But, Naruto is at a point where he doesn’t even need a power like Wood Release, as it would only make a small difference. He’s far stronger than Hashirama Senju.

Not to hate or anything but the chakra control from his hand made from the hashirama cells makes it difficult for him
Whereas if Sakuke and Naruto were able to mold chakra together with their individual hashirama hands, it would definitely propable
No I do not believe Naruto can use wood release
It's possible he can
