This is some stuff I don't get.

1. How Does Edo 'Infinite Chakra' Work?
I've seen different theories on this. When I read 'Infinite Chakra' in the manga, I assumed that instead of having chakra flow through your body, the chakra was being directed through your edo form from the world of the dead. My interpretation of this was that no chakra was actually being stored in the body, besides that used to keep it together, and that the edo ninja merely released chakra from the world of the dead. However, I've seen some discussions that the edo forms still contain the same amount of chakra when they were alive, and that the world of the dead merely refills them when chakra is used. This would make more sense to me, otherwise reviving even a novice ninja would allow that ninja to release huge amounts of chakra and potentially use super techs.

2. Why didn't Orochimaru use Edo to become immortal?
Orochimaru goes through a lot to stay alive forever. Changing bodies every 3 years, becoming especially weak near transfer time, seems like a huge hassle. Why didn't Orochimaru have Kabuto revive him and then release him from Edo?

3. Why is Edo Madara considered stronger then Hiruzen in power polls?
I considered leaving this off, but whatever. Edo Madara states the only person who would be capable of stopping/beating him is Hashirama. I assume this means in his current Edo form, Madara still thinks Hashirama has a chance of beating him. However, Hashirama is not considered to be the most powerful Hokage, Hiruzen was. Did Madara not know of Hiruzen, or is there a reason why Hashirama would be better suited to defeating Madara over the 'God of Shinobi'?

Thanks

Those are some tough questions, I'm afraid my answers may be poor

1. I think your first point about refilling is correct, it makes a lot of sense, he hasn't used massive chakra consuming techniques lots at once rather in installments.

2.Maybe he didn't know about the secret of edo tensei. It seems that Kabuto didn't know either

3. If you read the viz translation, Edo Madara says could ever stop me, which means he was talking about the past and Hashirama could stop him. The Hiruzen vs Hashirama thing I wont get into because it is hassle, but Edo Madara is definitely stronger than both of them.

Nr1. Cant explain this to you. Haven been explained in the manga yet.

Nr2. I dont think Kabuto or Orochimaru did know how to release the Edo Tensei. Or maybe it was because of the plot...

Nr3. We dont have enough information about this. Madara probably didn´t knew about Hiruzen.

1. your interpretation is very interesting, but i am afraid it is impossible to tell right now as we have no info.

2. maybe he didn't know about the secret of edo tensei, it is weird that his most devoted pupil never heard of it. or maybe he knows edo tensei too good and doesn't like or trust the technique enough.

3. probably he meant before edo tensei, or he meant that hashirama had better chances.
