Of course.
She had developed the Yin Seal because she lacked that much Chakra. The First Hokage, with his immense Chakra and vitality, could heal himself endlessly without Medical Ninjutsu.
But there was a problem.
What did Iwagakure want the Yin Seal for?
Using the Yin Seal required two things.
First, precise Chakra control—enough to activate Chakra Enhanced Strength instantly.
Second, the user had to be a medical Ninja!
And no one in Iwagakure knew Chakra Enhanced Strength.
