Your Madara example makes no sense. Madara simply absorbed hashiramas senjutsu power. He could do this because of the Hashirama face on his chest, the two would be compatible.

You cannot gather nature energy, move, and then enter sm later. It doesn't work that way.

Not sure what you are talking about. Minatos chakra was at 100%. He was an Edo tensei. My point with the Naruto and Hashirama examples is that it is (somehow) possible to possess senjutsu chakra inside your body without entering Sage Mode. Though how this is done was never explained, as Sage Mode appeared to be an automatic effect during Naruto's training. As for Minato being low on chakra, he said so in chapter 646, despite both being an Edo Tensei and still having Chakra Mode active at the time. It's a noted inconsistency.
