{{translation|'''Chakra'''|チャクラ|chakura}} is essential to even the most basic technique; it is the moulding of the {{translation|physical energy|身体エネルギー|shintai enerugī}} present in every cell of the body and the {{translation|spiritual energy|精神エネルギー|seishin enerugī}} gained from exercise and experience. Once moulded, it can be channelled through the chakra circulatory system, which is to chakra as the regular circulatory system is to blood, to any of the 361 chakra points (called [[tenketsu]]) in the body. Through various methods, the most common of which is [[hand seals]], the chakra can then be controlled and manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as [[Water Surface Walking Practice|walking on water]], [[Fire Release|exhaling fire]] or [[Genjutsu|creating illusions]].

{{translation|'''[[wikipedia:Chakra|Chakra]]'''|チャクラ|Chakura}} is a supernatural substance<ref>Fourth Databook, page 296</ref><ref>''Boruto'' episode 62</ref> native to lifeforms on some planets. Due to it being the component to create [[Chakra Fruit]], the [[Ōtsutsuki Clan]] travel from planet to planet to absorb all the chakra on them in order to create the fruit to consume.

== Origin ==
−
By moulding different ratios of the two energies, new colours and much stronger types of chakra can be formed. Most ninja have a natural affinity to one type of chakra, but they have the capacity to create elemental chakra apart from their own affinity. There are five basic types, each stronger and weaker to another, but their relations, weaknesses, and strengths to each other are all explored. There is also the dealing of Yin and Yang and the balance of mental and physical energies. In addition to these five elements, certain [[kekkei genkai]] can [[Nature Transformation|mix elemental chakra]] to form new natures, for example it is possible to mix [[water]] and [[wind]] into [[ice]]. While many ninja can use more than one type of chakra, very few are able to use them simultaneously.

According to [[Madara]], whose knowledge comes Hagoromo's [[Stone Tablet]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 671, page 7</ref> which was adulterated by [[Black Zetsu]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 681, page 10</ref> humans on [[Geography|Earth]] didn't have chakra until [[Hamura]] and [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]] were born with it,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 646, pages 6-9</ref> which was a result of their mother [[Kaguya]] eating their planet's chakra fruit from the [[God Tree]]. Hagoromo [[Chakra Transfer Technique|spread]] chakra to others through a practice called [[ninshū]], intending to create peace by using the chakra to connect people's spiritual energy so that they would understand one another without even talking. However, the people did not use chakra in the way Hagoromo hoped, instead using it to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies. They kneaded their inner chakra to amplify and weaponise it, creating what is now known as [[ninjutsu]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 665, pages 6-7</ref>

Normal chakra is a form of life energy all living individuals naturally produce to some degree. Contained in the "chakra coils" that mainly surround and connect to each chakra-producing organ, the energy circulates throughout the body in a network called the "[[Chakra Pathway System|chakra circulatory system]]" (similar to the cardiovascular system). Certain groups, such as ninja, have learned to generate more chakra and release it outside their bodies through their "chakra points" ([[tenketsu]]) in order to perform special techniques ([[jutsu]]). Chakra is not normally visible to the human eye, though chakra can be seen in situations where a person releases as much of their chakra as possible. This is rarely seen due to the restrictions of certain chakra points ([[Eight Gates]]), limiting the amount of chakra an individual can release at a single given time. Chakra can also be visible when doing specific techniques (such as the [[Rasengan]]) which take an even high degree of chakra control/manipulation to perform.
  
   
  +
== Overview ==
⚫
Of the many different types of techniques, [[ninjutsu]], [[genjutsu]], [[dōjutsu]], and so on, all require the use of chakra. However, [[taijutsu]] is different, usually requiring no chakra use whatsoever; stamina is all that is needed. While the ninja still needs a set amount of chakra to live (i.e. life force energy), regular taijutsu doesn't require any active moulding or manipulation of chakra (with few exceptions). A standard attack like a punch or kick falls into this technique category.

Chakra is essential to even the most basic [[jutsu]]. Through various methods, the most common of which is [[hand seals]], chakra can be controlled and manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as [[Water Surface Walking Practice|walking on water]], [[Fire Release|exhaling fire]], or [[Genjutsu|creating illusions]]. Chakra is ordinarily not visible to the unaided eye unless it is highly concentrated or manifested in large amounts. This is rarely seen due to the restrictions of eight specific [[tenketsu]] known as the [[Eight Gates]], which limit the amount of chakra an individual can release at a single given time.

[[File:Chakra Circulatory System.PNG|thumb|The Chakra Pathway System.]]
⚫
Chakra is the resulting form of energy when two other forms of energy are mixed together. The two energies are referred to as "physical energy" and "spiritual energy". Physical energy is collected from the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. Spiritual energy is derived from the mind's consciousness (i.e. the soul) and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. Having these two energies become more powerful will in-turn make the created chakra more powerful. Therefore, practising a technique repeatedly will build-up experience, building up one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created. As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power. This same cycle applies for physical energy, except this time, instead of doing things like meditation, the ninja could, say, do push-ups.
  
  +
Since being spread by Hagoromo, better known as the Sage of Six Paths, chakra has become a form of life energy that all individuals produce to some degree; those who run out of chakra will die. Produced within and manipulated by organs such as the heart,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 79, page 10</ref> the energy circulates throughout the body in a network called the "[[Chakra Pathway System]]", which is similar to the cardiovascular system. Groups such as [[shinobi]] have learned to generate more chakra and release it outside their bodies through pressure points called tenketsu in order to perform [[jutsu]].
   
  ⚫
[[File:Chakra Moulding Diagram (Normal).svg|thumb|left|The two components of chakra: physical energy and spiritual energy.]]
−
The general term for the source of chakra, the overall physical and spiritual energy an individual has, is called "''total stamina''". The maximum amount of chakra an individual can create and retain at a given time is called their "''chakra power-level''".
  
  ⚫
Chakra is created when two more primal energies, known collectively as one's {{translation|"'''stamina'''"|スタミナ|sutamina}}, are moulded together. {{translation|'''Physical energy'''|身体エネルギー|shintai enerugī}} is collected from each of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. {{translation|'''Spiritual energy'''|精神エネルギー|seishin enerugī|engtv=Mental Energy}} is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. These two energies becoming more powerful will in turn make the created chakra more powerful. Therefore, practising a technique repeatedly will build up experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created. As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power. This same cycle applies for physical energy, except the ninja needs to increase their endurance instead. Some [[Reincarnation|unique individuals]] have substantial potential that enables them to exponentially increase their chakra reserves in a relatively short amount of time.
  +
  +
At any given time, a ninja will have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it runs out and they need to rest to replenish it. With practice this maximum can be increased, but to a certain extent as they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 671</ref> For instance, [[Kakashi Hatake]] has average chakra reserves, but no amount of training can grant him the same amount of chakra as [[Naruto Uzumaki]] whom he stated had more chakra than himself.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 18, page 25</ref> If a body is given far more chakra than it is able to handle, then the body would potentially be killed by the overwhelming chakra, as [[Fūka]] had to divide the chakra she [[Execution by Kiss|absorbed]] into [[Colour Course Change|different bodies]], a [[Kumo]]-nin who ate [[Gyūki]]'s chakra meat tentacle died instead of acquiring part of its power, and the reason why [[Isshiki Ōtsutsuki]] chose not to [[Kāma|resurrect]] in [[Jigen]]'s body due to it being unable to handle his massive chakra. On the opposite spectrum, if somebody runs out of chakra, they potentially risk death.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 21, page 4</ref>
  +
  +
Each person's chakra is different and as such gives off a unique chakra signature, which [[sensor type]] ninja are able to [[Sensing Technique|detect]]. Chakra signatures are passed genetically, allowing a person's [[clan]] to be identified by their chakra;<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 525, page 3</ref> over time, entire populations can have perceptibly different chakra.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 547, page 2</ref> One's chakra signature can be altered by absorbing DNA from multiple people, mixing various chakra signatures together to become a whole new one.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 667, page 2</ref> In the anime, chakra signatures that are similar to each other (such as those of siblings, or a parent and child) are suggested to resonate when near each other.<ref>[[Resonance|''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 70]]</ref> Each person's chakra also has a unique "colour" that can be seen by those with [[dōjutsu]] (the anime tends to colour all normal chakra light blue). Even if they are [[Shadow Clone Technique|separated]], changes made in the chakra signature of the original will result in the separated chakra mimicking those changes.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 644</ref>

  ⚫
While practically all types of jutsu require chakra to be performed, [[taijutsu]] does not; stamina is all that is needed. While the ninja still needs a set amount of chakra to live, regular taijutsu doesn't require any active moulding or manipulation of chakra, with few exceptions. A standard attack like a punch or kick falls into this technique category.

== Chakra Control ==
  +
Because chakra takes time and a great deal of training to gradually build up, the key to its use is not actually having large amounts of chakra but instead being able to sufficiently control and conserve it. This is called {{translation|'''Chakra Control'''|チャクラコントロール |Chakura Kontorōru}}. In order to have good chakra control, a ninja should only mould as much chakra as they need to perform a given ability. If they mould more chakra than is needed, the excess chakra is wasted and they will tire out faster from its loss. If they don't mould enough chakra, a technique will not be performed effectively, if at all, likely creating problems in a combat situation. Because chakra consists in part of spiritual energy, the user is more easily able to mould the correct amount of chakra by remaining calm and focused.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 19, page 13</ref>

{{translation|'''Chakra Control'''|チャクラコントロール |chakura kontorōru}} is a term that refers to the control of one's chakra and aptitude at controlling it. In ''Naruto'', chakra takes time and a great deal of training to gradually build up. Thus, the key is not actually having chakra, but being able to sufficiently control and conserve it. Everyone has chakra, but only skilled ninja can correctly "mould" and "manipulate" it to its fullest extent.

Moulding chakra involves the extraction of energies from both the body's cells and the mind's consciousness, then mixing them together within the individual. The amount of each energy will differ based on the type of technique the ninja wishes to execute. In other words, a ninja could create too much or too little chakra for a given technique, resulting in the chakra being used inefficiently. In addition, even if a ninja is able to mould the correct amount of chakra, if they cannot manipulate the chakra properly, the desired technique will not be as effective or will not execute at all. Wasting energy will also create weaknesses like early exhaustion, which would hinder the ninja's capacity to fight long-term battles. General training methods for improving one's moulding and manipulation of chakra are the [[Leaf Concentration Practice|Leaf Concentration]], [[Tree Climbing Practice|Tree Climbing]], and [[Water Surface Walking Practice|Water Walking]] exercises.

General training methods for improving one's moulding and manipulation of chakra are the [[Leaf Concentration Practice|Leaf Concentration]], [[Tree Climbing Practice|Tree Climbing]], and [[Water Surface Walking Practice|Water Surface Walking]] exercises. A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral; Whether to spin the chakra left or right is dependent on the way the user's hair grows.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 151, page 11</ref> [[Hand seals]] are often used to manipulate chakra more easily, allowing shinobi to execute their techniques faster and more effectively. Shinobi who are extremely skilled at chakra control often specialise in [[genjutsu]] or become [[medical-nin]].
   
  +
A more casual use is using chakra control to sober one's self after consuming alcohol. [[Mei Terumī]] displays this ability when [[Shino]] advises her not to get too drunk during their meeting.
−
As an in-between stage, some ninja can partially manipulate their chakra. This means they can use their chakra, but not effectively control it, which results in a poorly executed technique, a prime example is Naruto trying to use the Academy Clone Technique. To manipulate their chakra more easily, [[hand seals]] can be used. With these hand seals, users can control their chakra with higher efficiency, allowing them to execute their techniques more effectively. Different techniques also require the use of different hand seals.
  
   
  +
Chakra can also be used for general performance enhancement. By moulding the chakra into key points of the body, usually the hands or feet, it will greatly augment their physical prowess. Certain shinobi are able rely on this skill to gain a [[Body Flicker Technique|speed boost]], acquire a [[Sensing Technique|sixth sense]], and even perform [[Chakra Enhanced Strength|superhuman strikes]]. As shown in the anime, it is shown that moulding one's chakra can also improve mental prowess, able to process information more efficiently.<ref name="BE16">''Boruto'' episode 16</ref>
⚫
When creating a ninjutsu, the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as [[Shape Transformation]] and [[Nature Transformation]]:
 
⚫
* Shape Transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of chakra.
  
⚫
* Nature Transformation usually deals with changing the physical properties of chakra into an element. There is also the Nature Transformation of [[Yin Release|Yin]] and [[Yang Release|Yang]], which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.
  
   
  ⚫
When creating a [[ninjutsu]], the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as [[shape transformation]] and [[nature transformation]]:
⚫
These two methods can be implemented separately or together in order to create a technique.
  
  ⚫
* Shape transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of one's chakra, determining the size, range, and purpose of a technique.
  ⚫
* Nature transformation deals with the moulding and defining of the nature of one's chakra, altering its properties and characteristics for use in techniques. There is also the nature transformations of [[Yin]] and [[Yang]], which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.
  ⚫
These two methods can be implemented separately or together in order to create a technique, though ninja who can use both simultaneously are said to be rare.

== Types of Chakra ==
−
The general term for the exact moulding and proper manipulation of chakra is called "''chakra control''". People with skilled chakra control are usually [[Medical-nin]] or [[Sensor]]-types, both of which requires extreme control over chakra to be effective. [[Genjutsu]] apparently also requires good chakra control.

Most techniques take a certain shape that is usually precisely controlled from one hand to another, through chakra. A good example of this is the [[Rasengan]]. [[Naruto]] uses one of his hands to control chakra, and moves it over the other in a circular motion, which eventually creates a sphere of pure chakra.

Any chakra that touches these dragons sticks to them,<ref>Fourth Databook, page 247</ref> which allows them to kill human beings in an instant. The [[Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals]] utilises nine of these dragons to extract tailed beast chakra from a jinchūriki or directly seal the beast into the statue, though sealing such a large amount of chakra requires several days.

Based on which ninjutsu the ninja uses, the amount of chakra will be different, as would the element the ninja employs. The five main elemental types are also the names for the Five Great Shinobi Nations: [[Land of Fire|Fire]], [[Land of Wind|Wind]], [[Land of Lightning|Lightning]], [[Land of Earth|Earth]] and [[Land of Water|Water]]. Each ninja has the potential to better utilise one of these styles and potentially more. [[Rinnegan]] users somehow have the ability to more easily control all five elements.

Advanced elements such as [[Wood Release]] and [[Ice Release]] are created by combining different elemental chakra types. Doing this is only possible with a [[kekkei genkai]] or having a [[tailed beast]] with such an element in canon.

{{translation|'''[[Six Paths]]'''|六道|Rikudō}} is a term used frequently towards the end of the series with little explanation of what it actually is. Several characters are mentioned to have the ''chakra'' or ''power'' of Six Paths, but it's unclear to what extent these terms differ:

Like Hagoromo's, [[Hamura Ōtsutsuki]]'s chakra has special properties and is essentially the same as Six Paths Chakra, passed through the bloodlines of the [[Ōtsutsuki]] and [[Hyūga clan]]s. Only those with Hamura's chakra can touch (and thus destroy) the [[Tenseigan (Energy Vessel)|Tenseigan]] and are immune to its effects. Interestingly, when using the chakra she received from Hamura, [[Hinata Hyūga]]'s chakra turned a dark purple in colour.

{{translation|'''Senjutsu chakra'''|仙術チャクラ|Senjutsu Chakura|engtv=Sage Jutsu Chakra}} is the chakra needed to perform senjutsu, which contains the energy found in nature itself. It is a powerful source of energy, able to grant a ninja increased strength, speed, and endurance for taijutsu, as well as enhancing the power of one's ninjutsu and genjutsu. Sage chakra is created through the three-way mixing and balancing of one's physical energy and spiritual energy, as well as the {{translation|[[natural energy]]|自然エネルギー|shizen enerugī}} from the atmosphere/air and terrain/ground. Since the three energies need to be equally balanced, the higher one's personal chakra capacity (physical energy and spiritual energy), the more natural energy they can add to the mix. Only those with a such large chakra capacity can gather the natural energy needed for entering a powerful state called [[Sage Mode]]. Also, only when a person remains "''perfectly still''", no longer disrupting the flow of nature around them like ripples in a pond, can they properly feel and harness natural energy. Remaining completely still for a period of time takes a great deal of concentration and patience, requiring a highly motivated and calm state of mind.

Seen in ''[[Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower]]'', the {{translation|'''Ryūmyaku'''|龍脈|lit meaning=Dragon Veins|engtv=Ley Line}} is an ancient source of chakra that flows under [[Rōran]], granting anyone who harnesses it infinite chakra reserves. Only the heirs of the kingdom's royal bloodline can open or close the flow, but after it's opened, anyone can use it.

* In Hinduism, chakra refers to each of seven centres of spiritual power in the human body: the tailbone, sacrum, stomach, heart, throat, forehead and crown.

* Although chakra is usually invisible, those with certain dōjutsu, like the [[Sharingan]], [[Rinnegan]] or [[Byakugan]], can see the colour of someone's chakra. Each person's chakra apparently has a different colour. It is also interesting to note the fact that sufficiently immense amounts of chakra are visible to the naked eye.

** The etymology for the word ''Chakra'' (चक्र) translates as "Wheel", "Circle"; this also pertains as to how chakra is produced within one's body: physical energy and spiritual energy are effectively "spun" into functional chakra. The direction of this spinning (clockwise or counter-clockwise) can be determined by checking how one's hair grows, as it influenced such spinning.

* It is said that the [[Sage of the Six Paths]] was the first to unravel the mysteries of chakra.

* Chakra and how it's formed/blended/spun-together from the combination of spiritual and physical energies parallels the real-world Daoist-Shinto belief of ''[[wikipedia:Hun and po|Konpaku]]'' ([[wiktionary:魂魄|魂魄]]); the belief of a two-fold soul, the spiritual soul and the physical soul.

* Chakra seems to reflect its owner's personality and emotions to some extent: [[Karin]] describes Naruto's chakra as bright and warm, while she says Sasuke's — while in the grips of his [[Curse of Hatred]] — is dark and cold. She also sensed the [[Kurama|evil chakra]] inside Naruto and found [[Suigetsu]]'s chakra to be disgusting. [[Ino]] also commented that Sasuke's chakra was much darker, when he used the [[Cursed Seal of Heaven]] the first time.

* Individuals can create imprints of their consciousness out of chakra that act separately from themselves and may outlive them, as seen with [[Minato Namikaze]] and [[Kushina Uzumaki]]'s presence within their son's [[Eight Trigrams Sealing Style]]. Being pure chakra, they cannot replenish themselves, and once their chakra is spent they will disappear.

* Chakra is an energy that can connect the physical world and the spiritual one. It can act as a bridge for spirits to leave the afterlife and return to the physical world temporarily.

Chakra

Kakashi visibly molding Chakra.

Chakra (チャクラ, Chakura) is a supernatural substance[1][2] native to lifeforms on some planets. Due to it being the component to create Chakra Fruit, the Ōtsutsuki Clan travel from planet to planet to absorb all the chakra on them in order to create the fruit to consume.

Origin

Hagoromo With Followers

Hagoromo connecting with others through ninshū.

According to Madara, whose knowledge comes Hagoromo's Stone Tablet,[3] which was adulterated by Black Zetsu,[4] humans on Earth didn't have chakra until Hamura and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki were born with it,[5] which was a result of their mother Kaguya eating their planet's chakra fruit from the God Tree. Hagoromo spread chakra to others through a practice called ninshū, intending to create peace by using the chakra to connect people's spiritual energy so that they would understand one another without even talking. However, the people did not use chakra in the way Hagoromo hoped, instead using it to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies. They kneaded their inner chakra to amplify and weaponise it, creating what is now known as ninjutsu.[6]

According to Jūra, a God Tree who gained self-awareness, their purpose is collect the chakra of all living things, all current and past life on a planet, and create a chakra fruit,[7] suggesting that some form of chakra predates Kaguya's eating of the chakra fruit, on Earth and other worlds consumed by the Ōtsutsuki.

Overview

Chakra is essential to even the most basic jutsu. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand seals, chakra can be controlled and manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as walking on water, exhaling fire, or creating illusions. Chakra is ordinarily not visible to the unaided eye unless it is highly concentrated or manifested in large amounts. This is rarely seen due to the restrictions of eight specific tenketsu known as the Eight Gates, which limit the amount of chakra an individual can release at a single given time.

Chakra Circulatory System

The Chakra Pathway System.

Since being spread by Hagoromo, better known as the Sage of Six Paths, chakra has become a form of life energy that all individuals produce to some degree; those who run out of chakra will die. Produced within and manipulated by organs such as the heart,[8] the energy circulates throughout the body in a network called the "Chakra Pathway System", which is similar to the cardiovascular system. Groups such as shinobi have learned to generate more chakra and release it outside their bodies through pressure points called tenketsu in order to perform jutsu.

Chakra Moulding Diagram (Normal)

The two components of chakra: physical energy and spiritual energy.

Chakra is created when two more primal energies, known collectively as one's "stamina" (スタミナ, sutamina), are moulded together. Physical energy (身体エネルギー, shintai enerugī) is collected from each of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. Spiritual energy (精神エネルギー, seishin enerugī, English TV: Mental Energy) is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. These two energies becoming more powerful will in turn make the created chakra more powerful. Therefore, practising a technique repeatedly will build up experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created. As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power. This same cycle applies for physical energy, except the ninja needs to increase their endurance instead. Some unique individuals have substantial potential that enables them to exponentially increase their chakra reserves in a relatively short amount of time.

At any given time, a ninja will have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it runs out and they need to rest to replenish it. With practice this maximum can be increased, but to a certain extent as they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants them.[9] For instance, Kakashi Hatake has average chakra reserves, but no amount of training can grant him the same amount of chakra as Naruto Uzumaki whom he stated had more chakra than himself.[10] If a body is given far more chakra than it is able to handle, then the body would potentially be killed by the overwhelming chakra, as Fūka had to divide the chakra she absorbed into different bodies, a Kumo-nin who ate Gyūki's chakra meat tentacle died instead of acquiring part of its power, and the reason why Isshiki Ōtsutsuki chose not to resurrect in Jigen's body due to it being unable to handle his massive chakra. On the opposite spectrum, if somebody runs out of chakra, they potentially risk death.[11]

Each person's chakra is different and as such gives off a unique chakra signature, which sensor type ninja are able to detect. Chakra signatures are passed genetically, allowing a person's clan to be identified by their chakra;[12] over time, entire populations can have perceptibly different chakra.[13] One's chakra signature can be altered by absorbing DNA from multiple people, mixing various chakra signatures together to become a whole new one.[14] In the anime, chakra signatures that are similar to each other (such as those of siblings, or a parent and child) are suggested to resonate when near each other.[15] Each person's chakra also has a unique "colour" that can be seen by those with dōjutsu (the anime tends to colour all normal chakra light blue). Even if they are separated, changes made in the chakra signature of the original will result in the separated chakra mimicking those changes.[16]

While practically all types of jutsu require chakra to be performed, taijutsu does not; stamina is all that is needed. While the ninja still needs a set amount of chakra to live, regular taijutsu doesn't require any active moulding or manipulation of chakra, with few exceptions. A standard attack like a punch or kick falls into this technique category.

Chakra Control

Because chakra takes time and a great deal of training to gradually build up, the key to its use is not actually having large amounts of chakra but instead being able to sufficiently control and conserve it. This is called Chakra Control (チャクラコントロール , Chakura Kontorōru). In order to have good chakra control, a ninja should only mould as much chakra as they need to perform a given ability. If they mould more chakra than is needed, the excess chakra is wasted and they will tire out faster from its loss. If they don't mould enough chakra, a technique will not be performed effectively, if at all, likely creating problems in a combat situation. Because chakra consists in part of spiritual energy, the user is more easily able to mould the correct amount of chakra by remaining calm and focused.[17]

General training methods for improving one's moulding and manipulation of chakra are the Leaf Concentration, Tree Climbing, and Water Surface Walking exercises. A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral; Whether to spin the chakra left or right is dependent on the way the user's hair grows.[18] Hand seals are often used to manipulate chakra more easily, allowing shinobi to execute their techniques faster and more effectively. Shinobi who are extremely skilled at chakra control often specialise in genjutsu or become medical-nin.

A more casual use is using chakra control to sober one's self after consuming alcohol. Mei Terumī displays this ability when Shino advises her not to get too drunk during their meeting.

Chakra can also be used for general performance enhancement. By moulding the chakra into key points of the body, usually the hands or feet, it will greatly augment their physical prowess. Certain shinobi are able rely on this skill to gain a speed boost, acquire a sixth sense, and even perform superhuman strikes. As shown in the anime, it is shown that moulding one's chakra can also improve mental prowess, able to process information more efficiently.[19]

When creating a ninjutsu, the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as shape transformation and nature transformation:

  • Shape transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of one's chakra, determining the size, range, and purpose of a technique.
  • Nature transformation deals with the moulding and defining of the nature of one's chakra, altering its properties and characteristics for use in techniques. There is also the nature transformations of Yin and Yang, which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.

These two methods can be implemented separately or together in order to create a technique, though ninja who can use both simultaneously are said to be rare.

Types of Chakra

Tailed Beast Chakra

Initial jinchūriki form

Tailed beast chakra.

Main article: Tailed Beasts The tailed beasts (尾獣, bijū), sometimes referred to as "Chakra Monsters" (チャクラのバケモノ, Chakura no Bakemono),[20] are the nine titanic living forms of chakra created by the Sage of Six Paths out of the chakra from the Ten-Tails.[21][22] They are differentiated by the number of tails they have, ranging from one to nine. A tailed beast's chakra is coloured red.

Senjutsu Chakra

Senjutsu Chakra

Senjutsu chakra.

Main article: Senjutsu Senjutsu (仙術, English TV: Sage Jutsu, literally meaning: Sage Techniques) are a specialised field of jutsu that involve the use of natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners, known as sages, learn to draw natural energy inside their bodies, blending it with their own chakra to create senjutsu chakra (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura, English TV: Sage Jutsu Chakra). This chakra adds a new dimension of power to the user's techniques, while also allowing for the use of techniques that would not otherwise be possible.

Absorption Chakra

Gedo Mazo soul removal

Absorption chakra.

Absorption Chakra (吸引チャクラ, Kyūin Chakura)[23] is produced by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and can be released from its mouth in the form of phantom dragons. Any chakra that touches these dragons sticks to them,[24] which allows them to kill human beings in an instant. The Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals utilises nine of these dragons to extract tailed beast chakra from a jinchūriki or directly seal the beast into the statue, though sealing such a large amount of chakra requires several days.

Six Paths

Naruto and Sasuke obtain Rikudo Power

Hagoromo gifting Naruto and Sasuke.

Six Paths (六道, Rikudō) is a term used frequently towards the end of the series with little explanation of what it actually is. Several characters are mentioned to have the chakra or power of Six Paths, but it's unclear to what extent these terms differ:

Hamura's Chakra

Twin Lions Crumbling Attack

Hinata using Hamura's chakra.

Like Hagoromo's, Hamura Ōtsutsuki's chakra has special properties and is essentially the same as Six Paths Chakra, passed through the bloodlines of the Ōtsutsuki and Hyūga clans. Only those with Hamura's chakra can touch (and thus destroy) the Tenseigan and are immune to its effects. Interestingly, when using the chakra she received from Hamura, Hinata Hyūga's chakra turned a dark purple in colour.

Gift of the Hermit Group

Raigō Senjusatsu

Gift of the Hermit Group chakra.

Main article: Gift of the Hermit Group The Gift of the Hermit Group (仙族の才, Senzoku no Sai, English TV: Gift of the Sages) is a special kind of chakra used by the ninja monks of the Fire Temple. It requires daily, unrelenting training to master. This chakra is required to unseal the Sealed Iron Wall granting access to the Fire Temple. It is also required for the technique Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder.

Star Chakra

Mysterious Peacock Method

Mysterious Peacock Method chakra.

Main article: Mysterious Peacock Method Seen in the anime, shinobi from Hoshigakure can manipulate their chakra into a wide variety of skills by using the chakra-enhancing meteorite, albeit at the cost of extreme damage to their bodies. Hoshigakure's method gets its name, Mysterious Peacock, from the chakra's raw manifestation as pinkish-purple chakra tails similar to a peacock's tail feathers.

Negative Chakra

Shino Possessed

Negative Chakra.

Negative Chakra is used as nourishment for Nue to explode.[32] It is also used by Nue and Sumire to, when given to another person, take control of them and their negative emotions.

Dark Chakra

Shadow arms

The Zero-Tails' shadow arms.

Main article: Zero-Tails Seen in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: Bonds, Dark Chakra (闇のチャクラ, Yami no Chakura) is a special chakra formed from the negative emotions of the heart. Created by the Zero-Tails as it feeds on the negative emotions of the people around it, it is shown to be extremely powerful, being used to power the Land of the Sky's Ancor Vantian and grants Shinnō powerful techniques with seemingly no drawbacks. However, it requires proper chakra control to use, and disruption in the control can cause a damaging backlash, as Shinnō's body heavily deteriorated when his control was sabotaged.

Priestess Chakra

Protective Sphere of Light

The priestess light chakra.

Main article: Bell (charm) Seen in Naruto Shippūden the Movie, Priestess Chakra (巫女チャクラ, Miko Chakura) has a bright and unique aspect. It can send pink rays of severing light at the user, Shion's, opponents, create a light barrier to shield her from darkness, and transform her into an angelic form. She also used the mystical chakra of the bell to create a protective sphere around a designated target, as she did for Naruto Uzumaki, and use the chakra with Naruto to form the Super Chakra Rasengan. Miroku feared that if Shion is corrupted, her powers would be deadlier than a gigantic demon's.

Ryūmyaku Chakra

The Source of the Ryūmyaku

The Ryūmyaku chakra source.

Main article: Ryūmyaku Seen in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower, the Ryūmyaku (龍脈, English TV: Ley Line, literally meaning: Dragon Veins) is an ancient source of chakra that flows under Rōran, granting anyone who harnesses it infinite chakra reserves. Only the heirs of the kingdom's royal bloodline can open or close the flow, but after it's opened, anyone can use it.
