Naruto spoke with the 4 Tails and the other beasts before he had their chakra. He got it AFTER those conversations. The communication is an inherent ability of the Tailed Beasts and can be accessed by diving deeper into their subconscious. They don't need to share chakra. And waht is this permanent effect besides similar chakra signatures? Gaara held on to NONE of Shukkakus powers after nor did he have Tailed Beast chakra.

The Ten Tails is not the same as 9 tailed beasts. Yes it is. The 10 Tails is all of the Tailed Beasts+Gedo Mazu
