I was sitting here thinking about Kaguya, the Divine Tree/fruits and natural energy.

I was thinking about how in the strictest sense chakra might be artificial/alien to the shinobi world and wondering how the divine tree got it's energy. However, the wiki suggests it's fed through the blood of lives lost in combat. So, I guess in a way, the tree and fruits are fed stamina (which in turn is molded into chakra)?

Buuuut then I'm reading on the natural energy page that reference is made to the Divine Tree feeding off nature energy (though the reference is anime only) which, I guess makes chakra kind of parasitic?

And then there's nature energy, which appears to have been the other form of energy native to the Shinobi World (alongside stamina). I wonder if the presence of the Divine tree interrupted what would have been an inevitable adoption of nature energy? Had the Otsutsuki clan never visited, perhaps senjutsu might be the norm?

I dunno, I suppose I've been curious about a lot of aspects of it and hadn't found any robust discussion on the matter.
