It's not a literal thing. Rather, any of the Six Paths upgrades allows one to easily use nature transforms and create new jutsu. In a sense, it's an enlightenment. After all, Six Paths chakra is the real chakra, and so by having it Naruto essentially understood how things were supposed to work. (rather than regular chakra, which by comparison is far harder to manipulate)
