Isn't it that when the transmigrants are dead the chakras also leave them to continue the cycle? When Madara and Hashirama are revived, the souls of Indra and Ashura couldn't be because they were in Sasuke and Naruto at the time. However, why would their chakra disappear from still-living cells?

LegionZero wrote: The Sharingan not being a pre-req doesnt mean that the eyes that hold the Sharingan dont also hold the Rinnegan. I think this is where the critical misunderstanding occurs. The eye has two dojutsu, yes. One is sharingan, one is Rinnegan. Sharingan and Rinnegan are related, yes, since both come from the parent eye. However, Sharingan is not a necessary ingredient for Rinnegan. Mangekyou Sharingan is a clear evolution since it has exactly the same powers as a Sharingan, only better. But Rinnegan cannot cast Genjutsu like the Sharingan does. Madara explicitly switched eyes in order to put Ay under genjutsu, which makes no sense in the evolution case. Hence, it cannot be an evolution. LegionZero wrote: This is true but the importance of combining those 2 chakras is recreate Hagoromo's chakra. Whom Naruto recieved chakra directly from. Aside from the fact that i think this is analogous to the Biju (combining the biju chakra recreates the Juubi, which grants powers not present in any component chakra) and so the "non-standard chakra" unlike the "standard chakra" given to naruto and sasuke..... Hagoromo clearly stated that he thought no one person should hold all the power. He has it within him to split chakra as he sees fit as per the Juubi, so he could simply ensure that Naruto wouldn't awaken Rinnegan.

LegionZero wrote: Problem is Kishimoto undermines it with the use/presence of Kurama. This has been a thing from pretty much the start. Even Haku could only be defeated with Kurama. A power he learned to control because he never gave up on trying to control it, even when it literally ate his skin. For certain characters it was about hard work. But as a general theme? not so much. If it were, Rock Lee would never have lost to Gaara, the very embodiment of innate power and genius.
