this six path shit is so confusing and vague. so kaguya chakra =/= rikudou chakra?
i thought 4 ways to access rikudou chakra (six path chakra) is.
rinnegan (indra/ashura tran)
juubi
9 bijuus
direct upgrade from the rikudou
if you get rinnegan you can use it's to it's full potential
if it's jink upgrade you can fly, use TSB and use senjutsu
if you already acquired sage mode and is a 9bijuu jink you can access RSM
or is senjutsu and sage mode the samething with the same features? cause i thought sasuke could use senjutsu as well.
Kaguya is the Juubi
Juubi chakra = 9 bijuu chakra + NE = Six Path Senjutsu
Kaguya chakra = Juubi chakra + NE = Six Path Senjutsu
Madara and Naruto required the 9 bijuu to produce Six Path Senjutsu because they weren't born with Kaguya's chakra like Hagoromo and Hamura.
In order to produce Six Path Senjutsu the user requires either having Kaguya's chakra or the Juubi's chakra, but having the chakra of 9 bijuu combined with NE is the same as having the Juubi's chakra hence why Naruto was able to unlock RSM.
Hagoromo and Hamura were born with Six Path Senjutsu so they already had NE running through their body and therefore didn't require absorbing NE to produce it.
But because of diluted genes Indra and Ashura weren't born with the same chakra as Hagoromo. Ashura inherited some of the Juubi's chakra from having the Sage's body but required absorbing NE in order to produce Six Path Senjutsu.
In contrast Indra inherited Hagoromo's chakra but without the same amount of NE or the Juubi's influence. Rikudou chakra is basically diluted Six Path Senjutsu, it's Hagoromo's chakra without the same amount of NE and Juubi chakra.
Normally Indra's chakra should be weaker than Ashura's Six Path Senjutsu but because of his genes it still had the same potency as Ashura's chakra. Kishi really messed things up when he introduced RSM.
