As for the topic, it could be that Yin Release is used to artificially create the cells that are used to replace the destroyed cells. Tsunade doesn't even have Yin Release, though, she only has it on her page cause she used a genjutsu that one time in that filler ep. But according all other sources, she doesn't even have it. So I doubt that. I mean, based on the description of what Yang Release is and the fact that the Senju/Uzumaki inherited it and we already know what type of abilities they have, coupled with what medical-ninjutsu does. On top of us knowing that the Akimichi Clan's jutsu are Yang Release. It only makes sense that medical-ninjutsu falls within the Yang Release category.
