I am sorry but you are wrong. as a successor of Ashura Hashirama had an abnormally strong life force and that is solely the reason he could use wood release. no one else in the Senju clan was capable of doing it. Ashura's powers are bound to his successors DNA. thats why Madara has the Rinnegan(because he has not only Indra but Ashura's chakra bound to his body) if it was as simple as having the cells of someone who has wood release then there would be scores of shinobi with it yet the only ones mentioned with it are those who have Hashirama's cells
