Do Shinju trees absorb nature energy from the world they're planted on and physcial energy from its victims then somehow converts that to spirtual energy chakra? I know I'm wrong somewhere, can someone enlighten me if there is an explanation. Going by what Madara said to Obito, living things have always had physical energy and spiritual energy, but not chakra. After Hagoromo handed chakra out to them, the people learned to use it to connect their inner energies, thus creating more chakra and amplifying the power of their jutsu. When and how the chakra pathway system came into being and chakra became a requirement to even survive was never explained.
