Natural energy is everywhere. The only things that connect Shinju to natural energy are, one non-canonical statement from the Kaguya-Hagoromo-Hamura-Asura-Indra whatever anime filler, that the Shinju in fact drainer natural energy from its surroundings, killing the land slowly. Second, the Ten-Tails' Tenpenchii technique affects natural energy, even though the technique in itself doesn't use any.
