The story of the "God tree" is what?

At first glance it simply symbolizes stories from popular religions. Many say Christianity, some say Norse mythos and so on.

But what do those symbols symbolize in the world of Naruto?

The Rabbit Princess, Sage of the six paths, Ninshu, sage chakra , chakra all play a part in this.
There is a reason why Wood is the most powerful chakra element, Why the fruit was deemed forbidden.

Right to the point then.

The God tree represents religion. It was a pillar that the people worshiped. The tree symbolized Nature beneath that.
Religion was used to point people into respecting Nature above all. Even when Man fought, Nature was kept out of it.
Sage Chakra was part of this. Sage chakra being the energy of the earth was something that could not be manipulated without becoming one with Nature. Hench the title Sage.

The fruit on the God tree was another symbol. The fruit of Forbidden knowledge at first. BUT it represented Knowledge of another kind. It was the knowledge of how to manipulate the earth. Aka Chakra. Taking the earths elements and changing them into something else. It no longer required respect for the earth.

The Sages ideal represented Technology. He wanted to take the new founded knowledge and use it to connect. But instead it was used as and to create a weapon to kill. And this is why it was forbidden to take the fruit/chakra. Just like the computer has become a great tool, its now used to kill.

Without Nature there would be no elements to change into weapons. Without the God tree there would be no Normal Chakra.

Lastly, no matter how powerful the Chakra user becomes, Nature aka Sage Chakra will always be more powerful.
Even when we create the Atom bomb, simple storms are still more powerful.

The Rabbit Princess wanted to Trap and control the people of the world into a "Dream" using religion and the power she acquired from that fruit. A Perfect dream world like Heaven.

The atomic bomb is fodder compared to more dangerous bombs. No weapon is more destructive (damage radius wise) than the tsar bomb. The tsar bomb detonates a significant portion of the U.S. Hydro bombs are more destructive than ANY "simple" storm. In order for nature to outdo a hydrogen bomb it would need to be on a global natural disaster scale. Four hydrogen bonds detonated at the same time can potentially knock the earth off it's natural orbit. In fact the Tsar bomb when detonated by Russia could be felt all ilthe way in the U S. So much so that we thought it to be earthquake.

Anyway the tree is symbolic for life, however the blood spilt over countless wars is what gave birth to the chakra fruit. Chakra came from blood in essence another symbolic form of life. Sage chakra is just what it is, becoming one with nature,having a harmonic balance with it. Aalso wood is just arguably the strongest element as just as hashirama can instantly create a forest madara has shown the capacity to burn it down just as fast. Nature in essence is meant to be equal, all forms of it, just in their own individual way, for example if kisame had more chakra he could instantaneously create an ocean akin to hashirama creating a forest.
