@NatsuDragneel I follow the manga. I used the narutopedia to cross reference what I remembered from reading.

Yep, thats pretty much it. Source of chakra was the legendary tree and it's fruit was eaten by Kaguya. Although, the anime sort of also implies that the tree transformed itself into the Juubi to get revenge for it's power/chakra being stolen. Not sure, if what you said about the incarnation, is correct or not.

<p>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?</p>

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.
