Can someone explain me something? I'm starting to get confused, so:
 * The Shinju is located in the Land of Ancestors
 * Emperor Tenji rules over the Land of Ancestors
 * Kaguya comes and takes over, has children
 * Kaguya, Hagoromo and Hamura presumably rule over what Tenji once did?
 * Hagoromo goes on a journey to spread chakra with humans and teach them Ninshu, getting followers in the process
 * At the end of his journey, he returns to his place of birth and turns it into Ninshu haven

So how come the village where the Shinju is, is separate from the Ninshu village? I thought they were the same place. Also didn't Shinju turn into the Ten-Tails and then Hagoromo made 9 Tailed Beasts out of it and the tree died? How come it still exists and gets destroyed by Asura?

Didn't Gamamaru originally say that the Shinju drains natural energy from the land and people, slowly draining the planet of life? So how come it now makes the vegetation grow and just makes people sick from eating the local flora&fauna and drinking water?
