The First Hokage was the founder of Konoha and used his unique Mokuton abilities to create the village. The Mokuton jutsu are techniques that combine earth and water-based chakra to create plants, specifically trees of varying size and shape. Mokuton techniques can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is literally converted into a source of life. The First Hokage was the originator of this ability, evidenced by the fact that none of his relatives have been shown capable of using Mokuton. The First's ability to use Mokuton was the reason for his being given the title of Hokage, and with his Wood Release Secret Technique: Birth of Dense Woodland he was able to grow the trees that served as the foundation of Konoha.
In earlier years Orochimaru injected the First's DNA into test subjects in an attempt to replicate his Mokuton abilities. Now, those Shinobi are known as the Shodai Clan, named after the Founder of Konoha.
