I never said Madara ate Hashirama's chakra. I said when Madara bit off a bit of Hashirama's flesh and put it in to his wound, he was BASICALLY mixing Indra's chakra with a part of Ashura's chakra which brought out Hagoromo's chakra giving Madara the Rinnegan. Also, didn't Black Zetsu actually say "Even after that I kept on approaching the transmigrants of each clan... ...and I tried to have them awaken the Rinnegan, but I always failed." It says nothing about "combining uchiha and senju DNA." Transmigrants are basically reincarnations.
