It was gyuki’s chakra that was contained in his tail that awakened the jubi, madara and Obito said that the “chakra” should be enough.. When Orochimaru's soul was ripped from his hands, his hands withered and died off. evidently, there's more to the soul-flesh connection than we know.

Secondly, i've already said before that there's a clear difference between a biju's chakra and a biju's chakra flesh. Kakashi isn't walking around in a Kurama avatar. The Alliance isn't. Clearly, when Kurama gave them chakra it was different than the chakra-flesh that Kinkaku and Ginkaku ate.

Thus, there's something beyond chakra to a Biju, which is what makes them Biju and not just hunks of chakra. That could be a soul for instance, but like i said, it doesn't have to be. Ninjachris wrote: Yes Sasuke could have done it himself if he killed naruto and sealed the bijus within himself becoming the SOSP. Hagoromo specified chakra. He didn't say that you need to be a jinchuriki. If Sasuke could absorb some of Naruto's chakra, he would have all that is needed to undo IT. Ninjachris wrote: And further it was NEVER stated or hinted that he lost it I'm not arguing that Sasuke lost his chakra absorbtion power, on the contrary

Ninjachris wrote: then Sasuke cannot use almighty pull or push, he can’t use Kirin again, Sakura can’t use her 100seal tech again. That’s how silly that argument is. Sasuke hasn't shown Almighty push or Universal pull, giving me no reason to believe he has it. He might, but the Rinnegan has some weirdness to it that makes me hesitant to call it a basic power. In fact the Databook calls one of those jutsu the "jewel" of the Rinnegan, so it's not something you have automatic access to.
