the Jin no Sho (fourth databook)makes no connection to Six Paths Sage Mode and the chakra of the tailed beasts, therefore your assertion that the tailed beasts chakra is required to gain the six paths senjutsu and as a by product the Truth Seeking balls is false, people believe that because in Shikamaru Hiden it states they are connected that this is the truth. the fact is that Shikamaru Hiden is not a canon material and was not written by kishimoto it is essentially a fanfiction. therefore until Kishimoto writes another databook and says the tailed beasts are required than its not true

another thing you must understand. they actually never once say that the biju are what gave naruto the six paths senjutsu in shikamaru hidan this is what was said in shikamaru hidan in chapter 7 "The Nine Tails was still living inside Naruto. There were also remnants of the other 8 bijuu inside him as well. In that way, you could say he was a human pillar for the power of the Ten Tails. In the last war, Obito had become a human pillar for the Ten Tails and gained chakra rivaling that of the Sage of the Six Paths. Naruto, who’d taken the biju into him as well, had some of the Sage’s power even now." this is not saying that the biju were responsible for the senjutsu of the six paths it is simply saying that naruto had taken the biju into him and still has some of the sages power now. its not saying that the biju were the source of the senjutsu of the six paths just that naruto had attained the power of the biju as well as has some of the sages power. the Jin no Sho on the other hand does say the source of the six paths sage mode when it says that Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode was thanks to the power he received from Hagoromo. Hagoromo didn't give naruto the biju. You are right, but in Shikamaru's novel, Shikamaru speculates that having the fragments of each tailed beast (eight of them) is another requirements.
