I think what we can discern from this is that being able to use Yin-Yang Release doesn't necessarily mean an individual has mastery of both Yin Release and Yang Release. I agree. So technically, Hashirama has Yin being able to use the Bringer of Darkness Genjutsu, but wasn't listed has having Yin in the databook, but only Yang. Tobirama can use the BoD genjutsu, and was listed to have Yin and Yang. So maybe Tobirama can use Yin, Yang, and Yin-Yang; and Hashirama can use Yin and Yang, but not Yin-Yang?
