^I thought about that too, but that is not the case. Susanoo is made from the user's chakra yes, but it is not a continuous stream. If you notice how Susanoo forms around the user, encasing them like armor. This is unlike Naruto's chakra modes where chakra is formed at the skin and then expands.

An interesting example of this is in Sasuke vs Danzo, when Karin first tries to determine if she and Sasuke are under genjutsu. She uses her sensory abilities to 'scan' Sasuke. What is shown is chakra pulses propagating from Sasuke as he is in Susanoo (note: not a continuous stream). What can be drawn from this?

Susanoo is not directly connected to it's user. Chakra pulses are emitted and coalesce to form Susanoo.
