So far, other than Yamato, the other person who knows Wood Release is
Hashirama Senju. I thought that Wood Release was one of the Senju Kekkei
Genkai's, but then Yamato ended up having it. Assuming that he isn't a Senju
(which he isn't), why does he have Wood Kekkei Genkai, and how is he able to
use it so well?

Yamato's Wood Kekkei Genkai


Yes, it is true: Yamato is not a Senju. By the way, Yamato's real name is
Tenzo. Anyhow, when Yamato was just 6, he was abducted by Orochimaru as one of
his test subjects. Orochimaru wanted to see if he could make Yamato have Wood
Release abilities by putting Hashirama DNA into him. The plan worked, and he
could use it easily. But then Hiruzen, the 3rd Hokage, caught Orochimaru doing
his experiments, and Orochimaru fled, aborting all his experiments. All test
subjects were expected to die off, but the only survivor was Yamato. In the
anime, it shows Yamato trying to escape using Wood Release after seeing many
children die from failed experiments.

Yamato's past has very sad, but it resulted in him being very capable.
