[Naruto] Significance of the Sun and Moon Tattoos?
So we know that after each of their respective "deaths", Naruto and Sasuke met Hagoromo and he imbued each of them with half of his power in the form of tattoos.
People have different opinions regarding the significance of these tattoos here, which I'd like to open some discussion about here.
How much of Hagoromo's chakra did they receive? How much of it did they lose after the Planetary Chibaku Tensei? (If at all?) Would Naruto and Sasuke have unlocked Six Paths Sage Mode/Rinnegan without it? (Naruto due to having chakra from all 9 Tailed Beasts, Sasuke from receiving power from Hashirama?) Did the Shadow and Light styles affect their other techniques? Discuss.
You won't be receiving concrete info for any of your questions, just speculation for the most part.
1. Based on this scan, it was quite a lot, apparently enough to make Kaguya initially think that those two were reincarnations of her sons.
2. Lost the seals, so most of it.
3. Yes and no. Six Paths Senjutsu requires more than the chakra of the 9 bijuu, and if Hashirama's cells still contained Asura's chakra, then yes, Sasuke would have unlocked the Rinnegan, eventually.
4. Maybe. When Naruto used lava rasenshuriken, his seal was shown more prominently than one would expect. Sasuke's chidori was powerful enough to bisect Madara.
Also, interestingly enough, iirc Naruto never used the other bijuus' chakra in combat after losing the seal.

Yeah, I was going to reference this scan if no one else brought it up.
Did it, though? Obito and Madara achieved Six Paths Senjutsu sheerly by becoming the host of the Ten Tails. There's a legitimate argument to be made that the only reason Naruto couldn't use it before was because he lacked Shukaku's and Gyuki's chakra. After all, he maintained SPSM during the fight with Sasuke; although you could argue that some of Hagoromo's chakra was still leftover.
This is where it gets ambiguous, though. I don't think Hashirama gave Sasuke his cells or anything; but remember before Sasuke went to fight Madara, Hashirama said he'd lend him some sort of power that was never elaborated upon to aid him. This was obviously just a BS way for Hagoromo's chakra to appear within Sasuke, but would it have been enough for him to obtain Rinnegan anyway?
I think that's coincidental; he did, after all, maintain SPSM and the Truth Seekers during his fight with Sasuke. There's also the fact that he used up almost all of the Biju's chakra in the fight with Kaguya, and because it was gifted chakra it doesn't replenish itself.
Yes, but the Ten-Tails is comprised of more than just the 9 bijuus' chakra, and despite having most of their chakras, Naruto was not able to use their power until Hagoromo. IIRC, the databook also states that Hagoromo was the one who gifted the state to Naruto.
Oh, I assumed Kabuto had used Hashirama's cells to heal Sasuke.
Honestly, I do not think Hashirama's cells should still have Asura's chakra. It is alluded to that Asura's and Indra's chakras are discrete things within the reincarnates. Naruto mentions that he felt Asura's presence, and Hagoromo sees "Asura's chakra clinging to Naruto," so the chakras move on.
But then again, thishappened, so maybe there's some mixing going on.
Anyway, if Hashirama's chakra still possesses Asura's chakra, then yeah, Sasuke should have awakened Rinnegan. IMO, it would be a regular Rinnegan though.
I know, that is why I thought it was interesting.
He did, but for a short while, and his TSB also seemed to be weaker. They were destroyed by Susanoo arrows.
Honestly, you should probably discuss this stuff on other forums or sites. KMC's Naruto discussion is pretty much dead now.

Madara absorbs the Tree form and becomes more powerful/complete, so there might also have been something going on there (aside from the chakra boost).

Hamura apparently could use Six Paths Senjutsu. The article for Chibaku Tensei implies as much. He did not have any bijuu chakra.

Lol, I know right. Or maybe more so muddled and confusing. His databook didn't help either.
Almost done with Bakuman btw.

Uh... Yeah? Why would Hamura require Biju chakra, he's an Otsutsuki that naturally possesses that power. To begin with, the Biju were created by dividing his mother's power into fragments; the Six Paths Sage Mode is what's unlocked when the pieces are put back together. It's an Otsutsuki ability.
Via the Chibaku Tensei implication, Sasuke would be a user of Six Paths Senjutsu as well. He used Chibaku Tensei and Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei long before the VotE fight. When did Sasuke receive Bijuu chakra?
So maybe not 'more than the Bijuus chakra', but their chakra is definitely not the only way to get it. And the DB states it was Hagoromo who gave it to Naruto anyway.

When Naruto received Shukaku's and Gyuki's chakra, he possessed all of the fragments.
There was no such implication, at all. In fact, Madara specifically told us that Naruto possessed the Six Paths Senjutsu and Sasuke possessed the Rinnegan, exclusively. And then went on about how he was superior because he possessed both of those powers at once.
Except he never combined and sealed them like the other 2 did, he just had the fragments within him sitting pretty. He still had to meet Hagoromo to get Six Paths Senjutsu.
I know, and it is likely the databook f*cked up here, but the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei page stated that only those who can use Six Paths Senjutsu can use it. So, according to the databook, Sasuke is somehow a user.

Sasuke was technically a user of the SP version though.
Obito and Madara were the jinchuurikii of the Ten-Tails, and they unlocked Six Paths Senjutsu via sealing the Ten-Tails. Naruto was the jinchuurikii of (most of) the 9 bijuu, but he could only access Kurama's chakra until he met Hagoromo, who gave him Six Paths Sage Mode.
The databook. It makes a distinction between how Naruto got Six Paths Senjutsu (via Six Paths Sage Mode/Hagoromo), and how Obito/Madara unlocked Six Paths Senjutsu (via Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal). It also states that Six Paths Sage Mode is "a power granted by the Sage of Six Paths."

Ninjutsu, Kekkei Genkai - Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal
No rank, no range, supplementary
Users: Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha
The moment before he was discarded by Madara, Obito feigned the "Samsara of Heavenly Life" and formed the seals for the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".
This technique let's the user possess the power of a jinchuriki by taking in the ten bodies of all tailed beasts. However, with one body already being hard to control, it's almost impossible to bring them all under one's control. This inevitably results in the collapse of the user's ego. However, very rarely, only one person that possessed innate suitability and acquired mental strength, is allowed to wield a world-shaking power, feared even as the "Nation-Building God"!
Condensed and drawn into the body of the technique's user, the gathered tailed beasts make the true power bloom.
Obtaining the power of the ten bodies of the tailed beasts is the same as owning the power of the Sage of Six Paths. It's also accompanied by black orbs that are similar to the "Tailed Beast Ball"."
" Page 310
Ninjutsu, Senjutsu - Sage of Six Paths Mode
No rank, no range, offensive, defensive, supplementary
Users: Naruto Uzumaki
The floating ability used by the Sage of Six Paths is also almost mastered unconsciously by this technique's user.
From the ancestor of shinobi, a divine state is gifted, touching the principles of all creation, commanding all things in nature
The qualities for obtaining this technique are strict studying and using a small gist in chakra kneading sensibility. An iron faith to face any hardship and the guts to never give up. Furthermore, the returning incarnation and fate's guidance - this power is granted by the Sage of Six Paths only to someone who holds those. Those who activate the technique come to understand the flow of all life, gain a deep insight at the world's origins and are able to apply it on interacting allies without changing the way of things. This technique isn't something shinobi choose to experience. It is a technique that chooses shinobi."

Because Naruto definitely used a kekkai genkai sealing jutsu on the Ten-Tails+9 bijuu, and 'Sage of Six Paths Mode' clearly means 'Yang Release'.
Right.
Edit: Seelentau should have posted his/her full translation somewhere. Lemme find it.
