It is worth mentioning that Senju Mori was born with Water Release and Earth Release Chakra natures.
As for the additional Wind Release Chakra nature transformation, he slowly mastered it through long periods of combat and training after being promoted to Jonin.
For Ninja, naturally having two Chakra natures is rare, and for the Senju Clan, the Water Release and Earth Release natures hold a special meaning.
This discovery once greatly excited several elders of the Senju Clan.
Even though Senju Hashirama's personality was extremely gentle, the existence of this Ninja World God undoubtedly held great significance for the entire Senju Clan.

However... even with Senju blood flowing in his veins, and despite being born with Water Release and Earth Release Chakra natures, Senju Mori still could not learn the First Hokage's Wood Release Ninjutsu, which was said to be able to "pacify a chaotic world."
Although the old guys in the clan were quite disappointed by this, Senju Mori himself didn't care much.
He knew in his heart that even if he could truly perform both Water Release and Earth Release Chakra nature transformations simultaneously and successfully master Wood Release, the power of his Wood Release would probably only be on par with Yamato's in the future.
Without the Six Paths Yang Power and Senju Hashirama's own "Sage Body" and Sage Ninjutsu, it would be impossible to replicate the world-destroying level of Wood Release power.
Instead of expending a lot of energy and time researching a Wood Release that held far more symbolic meaning than practical value, it was better to learn some truly practical Ninjutsu in a down-to-earth manner.
Relying on his exquisite sword skills and taijutsu, as well as his mastery and skillful application of Water Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release Chakra nature transformations, Senju Mori's current strength should absolutely not be underestimated... "Earth Release: Earth Flow River!"
Combined with the large-scale Water Release Ninjutsu just now, Senju Mori quickly turned large areas of solid ground within his sight into muddy puddles, and the originally lush green ground instantly became a man-eating swamp.
Even a monster like Kin-Gin after his partial Tailed Beast transformation, as long as he couldn't fly, still had to obey the laws of physics to some extent.
However, Kin-Gin was not affected much. He moved like a true beast, on all fours, his feet and hands covered in claw-shaped Tailed Beast Chakra, and he charged wildly towards Senju Mori.
Clearly, this guy was completely enraged by the sneak attack just now.
Senju Mori's expression didn't change. He quickly knelt on one knee and placed his left hand on the ground.
As Senju Mori moved, the ground around Kin-Gin seemed to come alive in that instant.
The nature of the ground rapidly and randomly changed between swamp and solid earth, and even on all fours, the sickening sensation of stepping in deep and shallow mud made Kin-Gin almost lose his balance.
At the same time, Senju Mori performed a one-handed hand seal with his free right hand, and immediately countless solid, sharp earth spears wildly stabbed from all directions around Kin-Gin towards his jaw, abdomen, and even the base of his thighs... The overly despicable offensive forced the beast-transformed Kin-Gin to temporarily avoid the attack, and he powerfully pushed off with his hind legs, leaping onto a nearby giant tree. After a brief push off the thick trunk, he once again pounced from the air.
Senju Mori immediately withdrew his left hand from the ground and stood up, rapidly forming hand seals with both hands while his cheeks quickly puffed out.
"Wind Release: Dust Storm!"
The swamp from a moment ago seemed to have had all its moisture drawn away in the previous instant; it had now turned into large areas of cracked ground. The fierce wind spewing from Senju Mori's mouth immediately raised a sky full of sand, making everything in sight hazy.
This illusion, of course, could not stop Kin-Gin's ferocious assault. In the very next second, Kin-Gin's figure burst through the dust storm, and a claw pierced through Senju Mori's heart.
However, not a single drop of blood flowed from "Senju Mori's" body.
The original human form rapidly collapsed into viscous mud, and then re-hardened in less than a second, binding Kin-Gin's partially Tailed Beast-transformed body for an instant.
And in that very instant, Senju Tobirama's figure appeared directly behind Kin-Gin.
The water blade, wrapped around the Second Hokage's right hand and flowing at super-high speed, smoothly pierced into Kin-Gin's body, and as Senju Tobirama swung his arm, it quickly caused a larger area of cutting damage.
As if stimulated by intense pain, Kin-Gin's Tailed Beast cloak instantly erupted with a large number of dense bubbles, and the Chakra's color changed from crimson to deep red in the blink of an eye.
Three additional tails emerged one after another as if tearing through his body.
An unprecedentedly dense Tailed Beast Chakra completely obscured Kin-Gin's original face. His eyes and gaping maw were filled only with white Chakra light, and a white exoskeleton began to condense around the monster's body... Yes, a monster.
At this moment, Kin-Gin had completely transformed into a monster. He didn't even need to deliberately use any Ninjutsu; the violent and uncontrollable Chakra wildly overflowed.
Senju Tobirama, who had just succeeded in his sneak attack, disappeared from the spot without hesitation. The doubled strength and Chakra also allowed Kin-Gin to instantly break free from Senju Mori's Earth Release restraint, and with a turn, one claw carved a long gully through the forest.
What completely exceeded Senju Mori's expectations was that Kin-Gin still seemed to retain some consciousness; his fox-like eyes, like two white hollows, suddenly glared over.
He sensed Senju Mori's hiding place.
"Boom!"
The earth suddenly cracked open, and Kin-Gin also disappeared from the spot in that instant. Senju Mori had no time to dodge. The next moment after he barely hardened his entire skin with Earth Release, he was sent flying by a claw.
If not for the gruesome marks left on the ground, Senju Mori almost thought Kin-Gin had learned Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique in battle.
Thanks to the defense of the Earth Release Hardening Technique, Senju Mori, who was smashed into the rock wall, seemed unharmed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable urge to vomit.
Senju Mori understood that this was likely a symptom of internal organ compression. Gently touching the area where he was attacked, he could feel that even two of his ribs were broken.
If an ordinary Ninja without the Hardening Technique took a hit like that, he would probably be directly blown into a bloody mist... "Whoosh--"
A huge Chakra tail, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, struck again. Senju Mori, already prepared, directly merged into the ground, dodging the attack while quickly moving to Senju Tobirama's side using Earth Release.
Senju Tobirama's face grew paler and paler, but his expression remained unchanged, and his words still gave a sense of composure and calmness.
"Don't worry, this guy isn't a true Jinchuriki. His Chakra reserves and physical endurance are limited. This state won't last long."
"While he's hurting himself, his remaining consciousness is also rapidly fading."
"Once he completely turns into a mindless beast, and is forced out of the Tailed Beast transformation state, he will even lose most of his combat ability."
"Then we--"
Senju Mori's expression suddenly became strange, with a hint of eagerness on his face.
