Can you learn how to absorb chakra or is it a kekkai genkai? Kaguya related?

Something that I've been thinking about is how did Kisame, Madara, and Jirobo absorb chakra? Even without the rinnegan or samehada, Madara and Kisame have absorbed chakra. It makes me think it's a kekkai genkai that only a very select few have, and it originated from Kaguya's/BZ's/Shinju's chakra absorption.

It could arguably be his MS technique
I wish Kishi would reveal those already.

Descendants of the sage and those using his powers /tools are the only ones to have been able to absorb chakra in the series.

its probably a secret technique. It may be possible for anyone to learn how to absorb chakra.

Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi and Susano'o.

Kisame, Orochimaru and the man Sasuke fought in the Chunin Exams.

OT: It's probably a special ability, like controlling shadows.

I personally don't see any difference.

The difference is that the jutsu is neutralized in the latter. For example, Kisame and Orochimaru can absorb chakra, but if they touched a Katon and tried to absorb it, they would still get burned and overwhelmed, while absorbing a technique through Preta Path and Samehada neutralizes the effect of the jutsu.

Yeah...No.
You can believe it though, I have no real way of disproving it.

I'm sure Sakura can, so it can be learned
She can give it, why not reverse the connection.
