It would be nice if Kishi had been that specific about what Yin and yang manipulation actually was. My point is what you are saying is your head canon. Because nowhere in the manga does Kishi actually say what you just said. Since he didn't bother to say so, there is a large empty space to insert not just your head canon but something we can all agree on.

Everyone's chakra already has an element in it, as the paper test Kakashi used to determine Naruto's element indicates. So when Naruto transformed his chakra in to wind chakra he simply brought out what was already there.

Now consider that Naruto has to transform his chakra into other peoples chakra in order to give them chakra for their use. How is he doing this? How are they able to make use of foreign chakra and produce elements that Naruto himself can't produce? He had to have added something that wasn't there in the first place, as the Kyuubi's explanation implies.

Kishi didn't specify any of this. So any an all explanations you and I can come up with are head canon. You simply cannot tell me why your head canon that you can't use the power of imagination to add anything that wasn't already there to something that exists is superior to my head canon that you can indeed use the power of imagination to imagine any quality you want and then add that quality to some existing thing to make an entirely different thing.
