2. I think that Senjutsu and the Tailed Beasts have a deeper connection.

I have been thinking about that, lately. It is my totally unconfirmed belief that natural energy came into being simultaneously to the Tailed Beasts. The idea behind that lies, again, with biology. The compound ATP is used to store energy in cells. When ATP is split apart into ADP and P+, the energy is released into the cell so as to be used. Now, imagine the world ac a cell, Juubi as ATP, the Tailed beasts as ADP (The majority of the original compound) the Gedo Mazo as P+, and natural energy as the potential energy in ATP. It is also worth noting that recombining ADP and P+ stores new potential energy, and that the revived Juubi again contained a ton of natural energy.
