Speaking of which: Hashirama. Dude must have Yin Release. Hashirama does not have Yin, according to the databook. Which is strange. But then again, Naruto didn't have Yin either in that databook, but it was stated that Hagoromo's power grants Yin-Yang, which he and Sasuke have, so... *shrugs* To me, the book seems to make it pretty clear that "Yin-Yang Release" and "Yin Release and Yang Release" aren't the same thing.

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.
