Lets start off by defining Senjutsu chakra

Senjutsu chakra is taken in from the "outer world" and brought into the body making the person's attacks much more powerful.

The outer world which can also be called "Limbo" is defined on wikipedia.
"In the theology of the Catholic Church, Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary, referring to the "edge" of Hell) is a speculative idea about the afterlife condition of those who die in Original Sin without being assigned to the Hell of the Damned. Limbo is not an official doctrine of the Catholic Church. Medieval theologians, in western Europe, described the underworld ("hell", "hades", "infernum") as divided into four distinct parts: Hell of the Damned (which some call Gehenna), Purgatory, Limbo of the Fathers or Patriarchs, and Limbo of the Infants."
What I gained from this definition is that Limbo is simply the world between life and death.

The ten tails is nothing more than a manifestation of concentrated Limbo chakra if that makes any sense. Naruto was able to confirm that the 10 tails is pure natural energy.

Take note that only by using Sennin mode can one notice the power within the 10 tails, because Senin mode is linked with the Limbo world. Also Kurama stated that the juubi is the same energy that circulates the planet.

The Limbo world is not only home to Natural Energy but also as stated earlier is the cusp between life and death. I believe that the Death Reaper in Naruto is the one that takes the soul and sends it to the Limbo world which would mean death to anyone living.

The rinnegan plays a vital role with interacting with the Limbo world. It allows the user to their own personal extent to interact with the Limbo world. Some examples include:

Nagato reviving the Leaf ninja after his attack.

This is Nagato using his rinnegan to return the souls from the Limbo world back to the world of the living.

Nagato acting as a mini soul reaper as he tries to pull out Naruto's soul.

Madara is a special case because he is able to use his "Limbo soul" to attack and since it is undetectable by normal means it looks like he is pushing air.

However Sasuke thanks to his rinnegan is able to see Madara's soul leave his body.

Also the only way to counter the Limbo world is by using Senjutsu chakra which further confirms my theory that Senjutsu chakra comes from the Limbo world. Only Senjutsu can hurt senjutsu. Thanks for reading. I tried to make as little text as possible hope you enjoyed the read.

i made that connection with limbo during sauske and naruto's power up but anyways
....i think by natural energy or nature energy is the energy that allows nature to exist...its the energy on this planet or something like that. idk if its energy that exists solely in limbo world cuz then they wouldve explained this when introducing Sage chakra or senjutsu when naruto learned sage mode

Um, Limbo isn't just in Naruto world and Kishi didn't just pull it out of his ass.

Here is an example of other Limbo world (spoiler) from Devil May Cry 5 (2013 PS3 game) (fast forward to 1:30 mins mark)

In DMC5's case, Dante (hero) is able to enter the Limbo by demons that summons him back to Limbo world. He can exit Limbo and enter the real world through a portal. The girl however, can sense Dante while in Limbo because she is somehow connect to Limbo world but every other human cannot sense Dante.

In Madara's case Sasuke explains that he can summon Limbo (basically another Madara from another world) to come into the real world without being seen by regular eyes but can be sense with a senjutsu chakra for a limited of time before exiting. So the OP is correct - that world is called "Senjutsu World".

In conclusion - Limbo is another world. You can call it whatever world you want ex. In DMC5's case it's a demon world while Naruto's case it's a Senjutsu World or whatever you wanna call it.

Nice theory. Also, when Naruto met the sage in "the place between life and death", the imagery looked like the same place where Naruto meets the tailed beasts. Shukaku appears to Naruto soon after part of Shukaku's chakra was sealed into Naruto by Obito. Seems to fit with your theory.

Physical Energy + Spiritual Energy
Natural Energy

Senjutsu. Sen (translate as the number 3) is The 3rd type beside Physical + Spiritual.

Hagoromo could able to give Naruto the "hermit.."
as Naruto had all the requirements.

"Only Senjutsu can hurt Senjutsu."

That statement is wrong. There's been plenty of Senjutsu based attacks that have been blocked by normal Ninjutsu, not to mention that the "Truth Seeker Balls" were able to block Senjutsu, just not neglect it. ( Meaning that Senjutsu is able to be hurt by anything that has a physical form or shape. ) Also, Senjutsu is gathered from the world around the user, not the "outer world".

What I meant to say by saying senjutsu can hit senjutsu was win Sasuke confirmed that Naruto was able to hurt the Limbo Madara by using his senjutsu (The black rods are considered senjutsu).
