LegionZero wrote: Gaining Tailed Beast chakra grants some or all of their abilities. When Naruto gave tailed beast chakra to the Alliance, this did not give them such permanent power. More directly, Kurama gave Kakashi his chakra and this too did not give him his power. Evidently, one kind of Biju chakra is not like the other Biju chakra. LegionZero wrote: Kakashi temporarily gained Obito's MS and its abilities Kakashi was the vessel for Obito. As is shown with Edo Tensei, Jinchuriki, and Orochimaru inhabiting Sasuke, this conveys power. Because, souls contain that power. Nothing do to with chakra. LegionZero wrote: Obito and Nagato can make Rinnegan appear in the eye/eyes of the bodies that have Chakra recievers and gives them access to all its abilities. A power of the Rinnegan. Never explained how it works at all, though the Rinnegan does grant some level of control over the spirit. Meaning, we can't rule out that this is the previous case, souls allow the use of their power by whatever vessel it inhabits. LegionZero wrote: Sasuke's eye literally turned into Itachi's MS and fired Amaterasu because of the Transcription, set with Itachi's chakra. Not sure how this relates to the rest. Itachi sealed a shot of Amaterasu in his eye. Not unlike how Hagoromo put a use of SP:CT in Naruto and Sasuke's seals. Or the Kote. Or Madara using Izanagi. LegionZero wrote: As for Madara having to wait 70 years for the Rinnegan, he re-activated the Rinnegan in like, 20 minutes after he was brought back as an Edo and had more hashi cells in his body He had Rinnegan from the start. Madara even corrects Kabuto, saying that "this power is not something you created". He simply activated Rinnegan when he needed it, once Naruto pressured him far enough.

LegionZero wrote: My translation is slightly different. Not sure which is more accurate. Kabuto, CH579P10: "this is a technique i created after researching the transformation ability of the Hozuki Clan". "beside, i have an amazingly impressive recovery power which i got from the woman of the Uzumaki clan, after i studied her body"

Kabuto, CH582P5 "all the rules and principles of the natural world that Orochimaru studied thoroughly for many years, they're all stored inside me".

In both cases, he uses words like studied and research even though he actually did take people's cells and blood and used their actual power. He doesn't just mean that he's using knowledge. So in the end, when he talks about using his research on Hashirama's cells, it means he's actually using those cells too.
