Did chakra really come from the Juubi?

I saw the flashbacks where Rikudo Sennin's mother took chakra from the Juubi
and that the Juubi was a tree first. Is that correct?

Did chakra come from the Juubi?


Your assumption is close, but not 100% correct. Chakra did not come from the
Juubi, but the Juubi came as a incarnation of the tree, also known as
[Shinju](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shinju). The fruit which grew on the
tree, known as the chakra fruit was first eaten by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, making
her the first chakra user, and the origins of chakra as used now a days.
