The tree shown this chapter was unequivocally stated to be the origin of all chakra, the people that fought prior to this were even stated to be nothing like their shinobi successors(who manipulate chakra).
In an apparent allusion to the biblical story of eve, the 'forbidden ' apple is eaten by a woman and she later gives birth to the Rikudo sennin.
Possessed of this inherited chakra, the Sage subsequently goes onto subdue the juubi tree by sealing into his own body.
Whats pertinent here is that, mistranslation notwithstanding, it has been re affirmed yet again that the juubi was the source for all chakra, but this time it has been confirmed that there was no other person capable of using chakra prior to it. This last part is of crucial importance. For if chakra could not be used, than neither could jutsus. Such as sealing *cough*
Anyways, good chapter all in all.
