He absorbed the fruit??
I don't remember this happening.
He absorbed the tree ... the fruit is part of the tree so I assume he did
I assumed Madara did as he absorb the Shinju (Divine Tree) and obtain the third eye, but I think to surpass or reach her power, you have to eat the fruit (bear from the Divine Tree) which Kaguya had in the past.
Madara has 2 Rinnengans > 2 Byakugans ; ) + Juubi JinjuKaguya has Byakugan and Rinnegan
But there's no tree now. There can't be a fruit.
I think things weren't going according to his plan, so he had to rush it by absorbing the tree instead of the fruit.
