It requires an external source. And in the end, you have to get on the good side of the toads, that is if you want them to train you, unless one gets bitten by a Snake Sage for Snake Sage Mode.

Tailed Beasts are not meant to be tools. Hagoromo was actually ashamed/disappointed that they were being used as such. Ofcourse they weren't suppose to be tools, but just like the rich and powerful sought Shinobi as tools, Shinobi sought the tailed beasts as tools. In the end, they can be used a tools of power, morally they are comrades, but as the Shinobi intended, they are tools.

Naruto wasnt meant to be Kurama's junchuriki. He was forced to be. In the end, he would have been one. He is the only Uzumaki in the village. And his own Uzumaki bloodline, destined him to be one.

Sasuke wasnt meant to have EMS, that was a choice he made to take his dead brothers eyes. Itachi didnt even leave them to him. He basically grave robbed Itachi for them. In the end, the EMS was meant for him. It was once Itachi's MS, and it got turned into his EMS, there wasn't any experiments done on it, just eye transplantation, and the MS naturally evolved as EMS, becoming his own. There is no one else powering him to use the EMS, it's being used on his own expense and on his own power

But i guess Zabuza has Ice Release and Boruto can one shot Otsutsuki members by himself.

Don't know what you meant here, but this reminded me, a few posts aboce you said that none of the shinobi I listed gain any boost with their own tools? Kisame literally gets chakra boosted by his sword. While you were saying that Sasuke got a Chakra boost by Itachi's MS? No he doesn't. But his chakra indeed gets powerful from the EMS.
