So if chakra is an essential connection to the spirit and afterlife, maybe it's the case that while the Divine Tree could have been considered an invasive element, perhaps chakra is a naturally (or supernaturally) occurring phenomenon, that the Otsutsuki clan discovered and learned to cultivate?

In the way we might seem supernatural to any pre-renaissance civilizations in our use of nuclear power, the Otsutsuki managed to detect and harness spiritual power (chakra) and maybe the Divine Tree is a technology for that purpose.
