Why can't Mei Terumi use Mokuton?

[Megatolium]

Before we continue, Kekkai Genkai is a gifted ability to combine any 2 elements.

She is my favorite and one of the few people who can use 3 Elements. Water, Fire and Earth.

According to Yamato, Mokuton (Wood Release) is a Kekkai Genkai consisting of Water and Earth. People who has access to Mokuton, users is shown to have access to Earth and Water style.

Now why can't Mei use Mokuton? She is able to combine Water and Fire to make Steam or Mist, and she is able to combine Earth and Fire to make Lava.

Why can't she combine Earth and Water to make Wood Style.

Because its only hashiramas abbility. you need his dna to learn it.

Mokuton is just a combination of Earth and Water, pretty much like how Fire and Earth makes Lava, nothing special.

No, it is different, only some people with potential to use those lava tech. Mokuton is just like that. Just because she can use them doesn't mean she can use mokuton.

[Megatolium]

Everyone knowing Kekkai Genkai cannot be copied it can only be passed down by DNA. Mokuton is nothing special like any other KG or KT.

Many other Ninjas like Jiraya, Sarutobi had fire/earth as well. But they never used lava...

Kekkai Genkai (specific ones) are able to mix these 2

exactly.
Now show the Manga chapter which says MEI CAN MIX WATER WITH EARTH!

[meowNverse]

Kekkai Genkai (specific ones) are able to mix these 2

Mei has the kekkei genkai to mix fire and earth into lava.
She doesnt have the kekkei genkai to mix water and earth.
She has the kekkei genkai to mix fire and water into steam/acid/boil or how they call this one.

You dont just have the ability to mix any 2 elements into a new one.

Kurotsuchi has water, fire and earth, but she can only use lava (fire and earth).

[neilson]

Nd if she uses it it'll be too much I already like her abilities now

[Okami the butcher]

Kekkei Genkai translates to bloodline limit which means you have to have a certain bloodline to use a certain element doesn't matter if you can use the elements it's comprised of

[HashiramasStrongerCousin1]

Maybe you need Senju DNA (or at least Senju, Uzumaki, or clan with huge chakra reserve) to be use Moouton, or else nothing happens when you mix water and earth?
Either, if she does have it, it probably won't be useful in any way during the war. This war has been very biased. If you aren't Senju or Uchiha, you are probably fodder material.

[Aktommy]

Yeah dude i also think she can use if she know how to do

[Shika88]

The Kekkei Genkai ist the ability to combine 2 certain elements.

What Mei got is Lava Release and Steam Release. She has those 2 abilities.
Hashirama had the Mouton Kekkei Genkei.

It basically needs 2 things: You gotta have the 2 elements to be able to combine it, and you gotta have the ability it self to combine exactly those elements.

According to this, Mei has Water and Earth, but doesn't have the Kekkei Genkai Mokuton --> no mokuton.
On the other hand, Mei has Water and Fire, and has th Kekkei Genkai Steam (forgot the Japanese word) --> Steam!

[IKSOKRIPS]

I can't believe this, why people still don't get this simple thing. :shrug:

This dude said what I wanted to say before me, so it's pointless writing the same thing, read it well. :y

Wanted to write that too
That's it you have to have the ability to mix them not just possessing the elements...if she had wind she wouldn't be able to use jinton Kekkei Genkai is really special, not just knowing the two elements.

[Uchihagodzzz]

Very good question, i've always wondered this too. But It looks like it needs to be passed down to be able to use.

[Noki]

i dont think that mokuton is just basic Earth and Water ... I personaly think there is more to it than just that ... Because if it was just that there should have been born another Mokuton user since there are a ton of people who can use Earth and Water in Narutoverse but yet only hashirama could use mokuton idk..

[htmwall]

[bl4ckJack]

Shes Too hot !!! to use such a lame tech ... that is okay for grandpa (1st) and Dead-freak(madara)

[Sostrange89]

It's because to combine 2 elements a shinobi needs to have the right yin and yang combination to allow the two elements to fuse together. This was never throughlyexplained but it was mentioned when kakaswas teaching naruto about chakra affiliations. So because she can use lava and steam doesn't mean she can combine the water and earth elements with the correct amount of yin-yang mixture to complete mokuton.

[Critique]

You have to be born with the ability. She was born with the ability to use lava and boil but not wood. Water is most likely her affinity. She was not born with wood release. Kekkei genkai is a bloodline limit. It is not in her blood to use it. I have black hair and dark eyes but I can assure you I look nothing like another person you know with black hair and dark eyes.

[ElectroG]

good question bro

[Simple Math]

thats why everyone want senju dna

[Thane]

thats why everyone want senju dna

This man speaks the truth!
