This might have an obvious answer that I've missed but I'm just checking it
out for a fanfiction. I know kekkei genkai are genetic. I know everyone has
chakra but not everyone has the ability to use it and this may or may not have
something to not with the size of chakra coils? Not sure about this as I've
probably read more fanfics than canon. Anyway. The question is this: Is the
ability to use chakra genetic (so basically all ninja are descended in some
way from Kaguya Otsutsuki including Sakura Haruno via some kind of recessive
gene..) or was it simply available to use (randomly?) after Kaguya ate the
fruit of the Shinju? Since Kaguya is named as the progenitor of chakra, I'm
assuming no one could use chakra before her. The genetic theory requires a
long period of natural selection, such as the Out of Africa and Eve theories
on Earth. I'm not sure of the time skip between Kaguya and Naruto is enough
for this. Anyway, all answers welcome.

question
naruto
How is the ability to use chakra alloted?


The only people who were born with chakra are Kaguya's descendants. However,
people got their chakra from the Rikudō Sennin when he created
[ninshū](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninsh%C5%AB) to make people connect to
each other.
