I think something like that might happen because you need to be a jinc or have some of the bijuu chakra in you in order to play the tug of war game. Naruto is perfect for that.
I was wondering that since Susanoo is supposedly a manifestation of the users chakra, and then Sasuke put the bijuu chakra into his manifestation.... I don't even see how they are separate, especially if he deactivates it.
