Chakra

Biodata

Power Progression

Composition and Extraction

Chakra is generated only when Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy are mixed evenly. Every person possesses both component energies, but Chakra must be deliberately extracted before it can be used. 3 31

• Spiritual Energy — contributes the mental and spiritual component of Chakra. 31
• Physical Energy — originates from the body’s cells and supplies Chakra’s physical component. 31
• Extraction — refined Chakra flows through the user’s meridians and can be guided by conscious control. 31
• Hand Seals — extracted Chakra is generally shaped into techniques through Hand Seals. 31
• Chakra pathways and acupoints — the body contains pathways through which Chakra flows and points through which it is released. 24

• Mind’s Eye of the Kagura — senses Chakra disturbances across several dozen kilometers; known signatures can be identified by location, movement, numbers, characteristics, and speed. 6
• Byakugan — sees meridians, acupoints, Chakra flow, and Chakra release points; its vision can extend to a one-kilometer radius. 24
• Sharingan — enhances observation and can track subtle movements, including the muscular changes that precede an opponent’s actions. 24 172
