Well, of course it's from the chakra, like Tailed Beast, which was said to be "made of nothing". This means that the creatures are formed from the chakra, not some material used by the chakra.

Okay, Yamato hinted that the shadow clones are somehow related to Yin-Yang. If Yang literally means life to you, then what about Yin? If there were Yin Release clones, they wouldn't be any different than illusory clones. Except the tailed beasts, were literally stated to be made by yin-yang release. And are separate entities that are alive, made from splitting the chakra of the ten-tails.

It honestly doesn't matter which it is to me. Yin or Yang. Although, Yin release has been associated to genjutsu. And Yang release affects wood release. So taking a logical step here, yang would maybe be involved with shadow clones.
