From Episode - [381] The Divine Tree Shinju (神樹) Long before the founding of the hidden villages, during an era of endless wars between mankind, #Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a princess from a faraway land, came to the place of the conflict to end it. Having decided to bring peace, Kaguya breached the prohibition and ate the forbidden fruit of the Shinju, attaining god-like powers. Using her newfound power, Kaguya brought forth peace by force, causing her to be revered as the Rabbit Goddess and later as the Demon.Some time later, by means unknown, the Shinju incarnated together with Kaguya and took on a form which would come to be known as the Ten-Tails. Shinju (神樹) literally means god tree, and its size and nature have connections to both the world tree and the tree of life, motifs that are present in several real-life religions and mythologies throughout the world. In addition, the story of the Shinju bearing the forbidden fruit is very similar to the story of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Abrahamic religions, in which Adam and Eve, the first humans, ate the forbidden fruit despite being told otherwise. Ultimately, while becoming wiser, it lead to their downfall by incurring the wrath of God. For disobeying Him, He forever cursed the two and their descendants. Adams eldest son, Cain, would later murder his younger brother, Abel, in anger and jealousy following Gods rejection of his offering while accepting Abels, similar to the struggle between the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths.
