Am I the only one who actually thinks the whole "they are chakra" thing is taken more literary than it should? I consider them to be no less physical and real than any character. I don't believe their form is just "transformed" chakra, but completely corporeal, an actual mass. Chakra can't produce more chakra and it can't die, just run out. I wouldn't be surprised if people believed that their blood is just chakra transformed into red fluid or something.

Imo, if they didn't have real bodies, then the whole creation of all things would be pointless, but that's just what I believe anyway.
