Indra's chakra was no longer with Madara when that happened.
Wasn't Sasuke nearly killed by his own spiritual self earlier when he was stabbed by Madara?_@:
This.
Both Ashura's and Indra's chakra left their vessels the moment they died.
So he wasn't just a host for Indra? I thought he wasn't just a person merely possessed by Indra's chakra. And since rinnei tensei breaks the laws of nature and such.. Maybe 2 "Indras" exist if you get what i'm saying.
The process is called transmigration. When Madara died the chakra went to Sasuke. And when he was ressurected with Edo tensei he no longer had Indra's chakra.
okay that makes sense. I was thinking that Madara was basically Indra himself and no one else

Edo Tensei does contradict reality however being that it is a space/time jutsu
Edo Tensei is just a Kuchiyose no Jutsu. Itachis Mangekyō and Nagatos Rinnegan were simple images made out of dirt.
So does this transmigration happen instantly or does the chakra take its time to reach its new destination. If it is instant then it is likely that the old Madara died when Sasuke was born. And if that is true then Hashirama could have been alive just as long as Madara was alive. Of course Kishi hasn't revealed Hashiramas death but it does bring up an argument.
