Ultimate sage wrote: No because a cursed seal absorbs the user's chakra and replaces it with senjutsu chakra. By using snake sage mode you're not decreasing your own amount of chakra, you are just absorbing senjutsu chakra and balancing it with your own. Actually, senjutsu-chakra is the the balanced mix of the nature energy and regular chakra. SM users aren't absorbing senjutsu-chakra, but nature energy, senjutsu-chakra comes later on, when absorbed energy is balanced with the user's chakra. Also, technically CS user doesn't decrease his chakra amount, he gives his own chakra away in exchange for senjutsu-chakra from the seal, his chakra amount remains the same, he just receives another type of chakra unlike his own one. Another question is if CS user already depleted his chakra reserves, he can't hope to get a lot of chakra from CS, otherwise he'll exhaust himself or will even die. Besides, almost the same mechanics as with Naruto when he initially used NTCM (he was taking Kurama's chakra while giving the beast his regular chakra).
