actually all that was said is that the shinju is made of Natural energy. chakra is the molding of mental and physical energies. its my theory that the shinju is the source of chakra only because when kaguya consumed the shinjus fruit it gave her incredible life force. she then used said life force to mold her physical and mental energies and created chakra. i also theorize that since she absorbed its life force the shinju no longer existed and that eventually her body mutated into the gado mazou and then 10 tails. if that is true then the tailed beasts are actually the aggregate of kaguya's chakra
