Also Hashirama gave Sasuke his chakra, but again, Hashirama is no longer Ashura incarnate. But Wood Release seems to be unrelated to Ashura, so it's possible Sasuke in fact got it either through Hash chakra or (still unconfirmed) cells, or both. Exactly. It isn't confirmed that Sasuke received Hashirama's cells from Kabuto, or in fact, anywhere. I think Sasuke gained Asura's chakra when Naruto distributed it to everyone to save them from Obito's TBB attack. It's the fact that Kabuto said he was able to save Sasuke's life with medical-ninjutsu and studies of Hashirama's cells with Tobirama's advice is what heavily implies that he gave Sasuke Hashirama's cells. Why mention them if they have no relevance in healing Sasuke at all? I've checked a few different manga sites, and although their translations are slightly different. They all say the same thing.
