[Theory] How Everyone Got Chakra

As the newest chapter reveals:

The Ten-Tails was originally the Shinju(God Tree) and all chakra naturally belongs to it

We now know that the first person to use/attain chakra did so by eating the forbidden fruit off of the tree, and as a result her son was born with chakra already in him. However this explanation only explains how TWO people obtained chakra, not the entire world. So how did everyone get chakra? My theory is that the story of the Sage of Six Paths and the Ten Tails is still incomplete.

We now know that the Tailed beasts were merely a fraction of the chakra that the Shinju possessed and that the rest is divided among the population of the ninja world. My theory is that before the sage became the jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, he realized that even his own body would not be enough to contain the massive amount of chakra that the Ten Tails possessed, so he separated as much of the beast's chakra from it as he could and spread it across the world. It was THEN that he traveled across the land teaching the world the secrets of chakra, and as he taught them the truth about chakra, he also taught them how to assimilate the beast's disembodied chakra into their own bodies. This was actually the first fail-safe that the Sage used to prevent the Ten-Tails's revival. It was only when he was near death that he realized that his first method of preventing the beast's revival was futile, because even the fraction that he contained would be enough for the the Ten Tails to revive, and that the only way to truly stop its revival would be to separate the remainder of its chakra into smaller, separate parts. This is why he created the tailed beasts. The final fail safe was to seal its body and launch it far away from the earth, and so he created the moon.

I know this is far fetched, but I do have a little support for my theory.

First, it is true that ALL chakra that humans possess belongs to the Shinju, not just the chakra of the Tailed Beasts. This means that there has to have been a point where ALL of its chakra was taken from it, and not just the amount that was used to create the tailed beasts. This also means that since ALL chakra belongs to the Shinju, everyone's ancestors learned to absorb/assimilate chakra into themselves so that their descendants would have chakra too.

Second, although it has never been directly stated, it is (now) impossible that the Sage taught everyone how to use chakra BEFORE he defeated the Ten-Tails, because, again, all chakra belonged to it originally, and until it was defeated there were only two people with the ability to use chakra.

Third,(this is more of an idea) chakra, although not native to humans, is a natural part of the world. That is to say that it can perfectly coexist in/with nature, much like air, whether it is part of the Shinju or not. Because it is natural, it is able to exist within humans without causing them any harm. The Sage, knowing that this would be true for all humans, taught them how to assimilate/absorb it into their own bodies. Because of this, the humans were able to take this non-native power and make it theirs. Because chakra is akin to air, they were able to keep it permanently (unlike senjutsu), and because this power now belonged to them and was in their blood, their descendants were born with the same power, and so on and so forth until the current Naruto age.

Like I said, this is far fetched, but it is plausible. I would really appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and/or feedback. Please don't just say NO, please give me a reason as to why you disagree. Thanks in advance :)

Why are you trying to recap something anyone can just read ?

"My theory is that before the sage became the jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, he realized that even his own body would not be enough to contain the massive amount of chakra that the Ten Tails possessed, so he separated as much of the beast's chakra from it as he could and spread it across the world. It was THEN that he traveled across the land teaching the world the secrets of chakra, and as he taught them the truth about chakra, he also taught them how to assimilate the beast's disembodied chakra into their own bodies"


That is not a theory that is fact something we all knew from reading the chapter U_U

No. What has been stated is that he created the tailed beasts from ALL of its chakra (this is what was implied). It has been stated that he taught them the SECRETS AND ORIGINS of chakra, NOT how to assimilate it nor how everyone got chakra. Yes, I will admit that a lot of it is recap but the point is that the story is still unfinished and this is to show how my theory/part of the story coincides with what has already been stated. THAT WAS NOT CONSTRUCTIVE IN ANY WAY.

The only hole that I see in the "all chakra came from the God tree" (the literal version of that) is that we can assume that in the NV population grows much like it does in the real world. So where would the new generations get chakra from?

This was also something that I had thought of, but I hadn't thought of an answer at the time I posted this thread. My idea is that chakra is also like water in the way that it is finite and that it flows in a cycle. When someone dies, the chakra in their bodies either returns to the earth or is reborn in a new descendant.

Another idea is that the chakra from the God Tree allows a person to create their own chakra supply, so newer generations of people that have less of the Tree's chakra are able to produce more of their own. IDK just some theories :p

Very likely. I know how Kishi likes to overpower his characters or techs, then come in like 200 chapters later and nerf them with a big weakness or uncover a part of an unfinished story that takes away their credibility. Seems like something e would do with SO6P.

However, if this were the case, all shinobi would be able to achieve some form of a doujutsu, which they can't. But it's not like that would be shocking, since the Sage himself didn't unlock the full eye of the Juubi and he practically hosted the entire beast.

It's possible. Though, it's also possible that the previous statements about how the Sage taught everyone Ninjutsu could be myth or legend and that chakra is purely hereditary, and that all living shinobi are distant descendants of the Sage.

Your saying the Sage managed to give chakra to not just every human but every organism alive in his short lifetime? Sorry but it can't work like that. There must be another input of chakra into the ecosystems of the earth. Either it was already there or it came from something else.

To help with your theory, remember that not everyone can use chakra so not everyone has it. Why do you think there are villagers or towns with people who do nothing but live simple lives.

I believe the sage sacrificed his mother and passed on her fruit chakra power to everyone and she became ugly and frail and became the reaper of the reaper death seal.

Got any proof? That's a mighty big claim.

No no no, it was stated in the manga, in the first explanation about chakra, that ALL living organisms have chakra inside them. Shinobi are humans who have learned to mould that chakra and use it to power their Jutsu.
