The tree gets that from the blood of others, or it's made of entirely of one of those energies and gets the other from the blood, or it already has both and just feeds on blood for reasons not specified. Either way, it forms a fruit out of those two energies that grant whoever eats it, Chakra.

Madara contradicts that definition. https://gyazo.com/83c5a69f818f257ab41c891e715abba1.png https://gyazo.com/d01c1e78187f01ea2e2517d09756fcec.png https://gyazo.com/40313149c312c96e8e6857e3a401f303.png

Kaguya herself, the first to wield Chakra, utilized Chakra itself to meld her internal energies. Chakra is needed to amplify Chakra for Jutsu. It feels like a retcon, where characters needed to originally meld their energies to produce Chakra, now it seems like there is an underlying "base" Chakra energy that is then amplified and given properties based on the energies used to amplify it.
