It's because Hashi's DNA can give someone healing abilities, let them survive without food and water, give them wood style provided they can handle it, extend the use of Izanagi if you got some Sharingan on you...it's basically a must have for any OP character. So long as you got some of Hashi's wood in you, you can pull off any number of deus ex machinas with little to no actual effort in the writing.
