Chapter 168:
Tsunade's shock was immeasurable. She felt as though she were in a dream.
Could she really have awakened Wood Release?
It seemed impossible.
But the unmistakable feeling of power surging within her, combined with the sight of plants growing around her as a response to her chakra, proved it was real.
Wood Release, like Susanoo, actually had different levels of power.

Another version was derived from genetic modifications. This one was safer to use repeatedly but wasn't particularly powerful; it was more suitable for tasks like building shelters than for actual combat.
Then there was true awakening. This was much closer to perfection, a pure expression of Wood Release that could be wielded freely.
But even that wasn't the ultimate form.
