I don't see how. I think you might be misinterpreting something. Just say the contradiction word for word so I can understand what you're trying to say.

Lets stop using the word contradiction. The more accurate description is Retcon or retroactive continuity.

Originally, Chakra in the series was just thought to be the infusion of internal energies solely executed by the characters themselves. What Madara informs us during the war is that Chakra is not truly produced by the individuals that harness it. There is a layer/ember/grain of Chakra already present within the body and that component of Chakra is what allows one to meld their energies; amplifying the Chakra itself.
