Also, it's not like the experimentation would be rigorous or dangerous; Just pop a pill and three days later, come give us a blood sample. The explanation is. Besides, we've seen the risks of wood release with Yamato's co-subjects. It's not exactly risk-free.

If he had a boy and a girl, and the girl married into Moegi's family, then that would already explain everything. (the boy would go on to father Tsunade and Nawaki).

Besides, like i pointed out, there are several KKG with unclear genetic histories, and Wood Release could be one of them. If Moegi awoke it out of nowhere, it wouldn't be more or less surprising than say Lava release or Dust Release. That's different though. Orochimaru's experiments involved tampering with DNA. This is just a drug (think of it as a vitamin supplement of sorts.) Also, Orochimaru's experiment involved replicating Hashi's power, Tsunade's research would just be purely medical. (For simplicity sake (purely an example), let's say that to have Mokuton, one has to have an inhuman amount of calcium in their body without any harmful medical drawbacks.)

Because it would come completely out of nowhere and would just be bad writing for the sake of introducing a character with Mokuton.

But it isn't, though. It's been stated numerous times that Wood Release is directly tied to Hashirama (hence all the experiments with his DNA)
