Here is my revised take on this nature energy controversy.

Nature energy is nature energy. Where was it stated that there are different kinds of nature energy? to me, the difference lies in hold the nature energy is moulded with your physical and mental energy. Toad sages tell you to do it one way, and when you balance your nature energy perfectly and then mix it with your other energies the toad way, it causes a mutation in the cells around your eye, causing them to release a protein that gives that pigmentation. snake snages tell you another way to balance it and have it interact. Same thing for hashi's sage mode, with the method he uses to create his senjutsu chakra, it creates black pigment around his face. For juugo, his body genetically is coded to take in nature energy passively. when his senjutsu chakra is created, it creates a strong reaction, making his brain chemistry go out of whack and significantly mutating his body.

Now with that established, the juubi's chakra gives off the same sensations as nature energy itself, so it can't be sensed except by using sage mode. but this statement seems to be contraadicted because the databook also claims the juubi is natural energy itself, which makes it confusing. juubi chakra is also described to be six paths senjutsu chakra. Obito absorbed the juubi and once he gained full control, he gained full access to this chakra. This chakra granted him sage mode according to madara. OBito has no senjutsu skill whatsoever, he doesn't know how to absorb nature energy nor how to mould senjutsu chakra. So it seems to me that he got sage mode because the ten tails chakra itself is six paths senjutsu chakra. so here we go, it's possible to enter sage mode by simply stealing senjusu chakra, also proven when madara absorbed hashirama's senjutsu chakra. so the question is, how are you supposed to create six paths senjutsu if having six paths chakra and senjutsu chakra isn't enough? The only known source of six paths senjutsu chakra is the juubi. However, by my own admisson, there are different types of senjutsu chakra that can be created (snake senjutsu, toad senjutsu, etc. while the stat benefits are the same, there are different physical properties to each senjutsu depending on the senjutsu chakra is moulded together. So MAYBE, hagoromo learned how to mix his own ridoku chakra with nature energy in a way that it created six paths senjutsu (as opposed to toad senjutsu or sage senjutsu), the same chakra the juubi creates. I guess this is possible, but it could just be as easily be the case that this isn't possible, and that they only way to recreate juubi chakra is to steal it from the ten tails or mix the 9 bijuu chakra.
