I think that, for most people against this idea (not everybody, but a good majority of them), that is probably the main reason why they are against it; they worry about that part. Now, I have stated that whatever I do with him, should this idea get approved, will be subject to operator approval. I'm not looking to try anything cheap. Being Kaguya's transmigrant will never be a part of this character, absolutely not. It will never be mentioned nor put onto the article, and as such, those abilities that he could only perform as a result of that type of power will either need different justifications or will simply not be added to the article.

But most of all, the fact of the matter is, Seireitou in this sense will be designed to be a tough opponent but he will be killable. Not by the efforts of a single individual, but it will be made rather obvious and, pending a good and appropriately long fight sequence, rather easy. But the true danger of killing him without putting an end to the process of his plans lies in the fact that he expects to die at some point throughout this entire thing. Such is the fate afforded to all nefarious villains. But his plans for Sengoku Rebirth will not be so easy to stop. And his death will set into motion several key events that will, without fail, make the Sengoku Rebirth a reality. I won't explain them all since, if he does get approved, it'd spoil everything.

The fact is, to kill Seireitou in the truest sense of the word means you put an end to his entire goal. You have to literally destroy the ideal from happening by way of his methods. And for that to happen, one must somehow maneuver themselves through the labyrinth of events and situations he has spent his entire adult life putting into motion. And these are situations that take advantage of other key players, such as Naraku, Hitokui, and even Black Crown.

I based Seireitou on the principles of one of the men I look up to the most; that being Yoshida Shouin. Yoshida had stated, "Once a man’s will is set, he need no longer rely on others or expect anything from the world. His vision encompasses Heaven and earth, past and present, and the tranquility of his heart is undisturbed." And that describes Seireitou himself. The Sengoku Rebirth is literally the personification of his heart. Killing him physically can be done quite easily, but he won't die given that his methods still exist in the world. To kill Seireitou, truly kill him, means to destroy his heart; the entire ideal of the Sengoku Rebirth. And this is what makes him so dangerous as a villain.

Much of his strength will be attributed to the fact that, given that chakra is aligned with that of will, Seireitou is a character that is different from the likes of other Naruto villains whose hearts could be swayed. Obito was driven to complete Tsuki no Me, but this is because his heart was driven by his loss of Rin. Deep down, he wanted to be proven wrong. Madara was also driven by other desires, such as his rivalry with Hashirama. Even Kaguya, the one obsessed with the acquiring of chakra and was fixated upon it, was clearly more interested in killing Naruto and Sasuke rather than take their chakra, simply because it wasn't convenient anymore to waste time trying to absorb it.

But Seireitou, while initially being driven by his own losses in life, does all that he does simply because his will is entirely devoted to this goal. There isn't anything he wants beyond this. There isn't even a single aspect of him that isn't devoted to the Sengoku Rebirth, simply because it is the only way his entire existence can have meaning. He won't change his plans because he doesn't want to be killed, he won't change because of a character's soothing words of encouragement, he won't change when presented by friends of the past or reminders of his past; simply put, he serves entirely as a force of nature that is aimed at the completion of this plan. And his actual power will reflect this nature.
