@Legion. In a sense, he can't be at the top of the hierarchy because of it. Shinobi usually work on a rock paper scissors logic, or rather a Toad Snake Slug logic. Madara can kill alot of people, Hashirama can kill Madara, Ohnoki/Itachi/Sasuke/Shisui/Obito/And some others can kill Hashirama with their jutsus. It's sort of works in that way, no one can stand at the top. Theoretically they can kill him, but that is assuming they can actually land a hit.

For what we know, Hashi might naturally absorb Senjutsu, sort of like Jugo's clan members, I'm surprised that Naruto never asked about where Hashi got his Sage Mode from. He doesnt have that ability. Nothing in the series points to him having that ability or being related to Jugo's clan. If he could he would be using Safe Transformation and not Sage Mode. The world would pretty much be over because it would make him a raging psychopath with entirely too much power.

I'm talking about taking Kushina's place after her time. Kushina obviously can't hold the Ninetails forever, she needs to pass it over to someone who can, and it's usually chosen to be someone who is close to the kage, so to keep the Jinchuriki close. Naruto would have been Kurama's Jinchuriki, there was no close to the Hokage, and a better choice, like since he is male, they won't have to worry about the seal being weakened while pregnant. Nagato and Karin would have been better choices. They are full Uzumaki.

Yes, but there wasn't anything else, was there? The Eyes match each others, and it naturally evolves into ab EMS. Body. Modification. No way around that.

You and I both know that we weren't taking in that sense lol. Naruto and Kurama was as one, Sasuke and his EMS was as one, Zabuza and Haku are two different beings not connected. You can say, Sasuke was using Orochimaru as a tool when he absorbed him. Naruto and Kurama arent one being. Kurama is trapped inside of him and lends him chakra. Thats why Kurama can be taken away from him.This isnt Namekian fusion.

Sasuke Orochimaru power up is a body mod.

He felt Itachi's power. He did have his MS, character do at times feel someone else's chakra, like Naruto had his parents chakra inside him, but that didn't amplify anything for him. Sasuke mentioned that he can feel Itachi's chakra, while Itachi's MS was still in him, under his bandage. Usually Sharingan eyes stay active even if the user's dead. There are many examples of it. Sasuke said Itachi's eyes were making him stronger. Not just that he can feel Itachi's chakra. That it was making him stronger than before.

And again, as I'm stating Shinobi always rely on outside powers they never originally possesed, whether it be Senjutsu, tools, tailed beasts, bodies, puppets, info/wisdom, training on a particular field, or even simple tools like Kunai and Shurikens. They only make the user strong, if he can handle that very 'tool' without it, Learning how to use a tool or training isnt the same as borrowing or stealing someone elses power. Danzo's strength didnt come from himself, it came from stealing the power of others.

@littlegen: Chakra was very explicitly stated to be physical+mental energy. A few times actually. Not sure where you are getting the idea that its not
