Senjutsu is balancing natural energy with spiritual energy and physicaly energy (normal chakra). The curse seals Orochimaru developed were based off Jugo's clan's ability to passively absorb natural energy; not balancing it with normal chakra. That's why they had monstrous forms including Sasuke's Curse Seal of Heaven form. Sasuke isn't a Sage and technically has no senjutsu skills. Unfortunately for you (and me) Orochimaru stated that Jugo's Curse Mark is a senjutsu skill. GreatestSin wrote: ^ but he used black chidori :] someting that only works with nature energy... Not really. Even the Six Paths Power changes the colour of chakra, as seen when Kakashi attacked Kaguya with the Kamui Lightning Cutter or when Sasuke attacked Madara with Chidori. They both have senjutsu, it is obvious Sasuke has senjutsu by this point. Otherwise, Madara would have countered all attacks with Preta Path and Omnyoudon. Go ahead, blame Plot no Jutsu.

Sasuke doesn't have Senjutsu. He can't actually sense/gather natural energy. The curse seal isn't senjutsu either. More like a transformative power boost (via natural energy). He used Jugo's chakra to augment Susanoo with natural energy, which was a "Senjutsu" version of Susanoo. Later after meeting Hagoromo Sasuke received his Six Paths Chakra, the Yin half of his chakra and awoke a Rinnegan. The Six Paths Chakra alone augmented Sasuke's techniques to enable him to attack Madara. It wasn't Senjutsu..
