Chakra

Biodata

Nature

• Ordinary chakra is refined from physical and spiritual energy. Sage chakra also incorporates natural energy, allowing its user to perform Sage Arts 90.
• Jimo considers chakra similar to ki, the energy used by his Dragon Ball template 3.
• Tailed Beasts are highly condensed aggregates of chakra. Villages seal them inside people known as Jinchūriki to harness their power 59.

Control and Uses

• Shape and compression — Chakra can be gathered into a sphere and compressed. Jimo teaches Team 7 to throw these spheres as Chakra Jade, adjusting their power by changing how much chakra they contain 8.
• Rotation — Forming a Rasengan requires chakra to rotate rapidly while its shape remains stable. Jimo uses Chakra Jade as a starting point when teaching Naruto this control 32.
• Transfer — Jimo channels chakra into Gaara to stimulate a trace left by Shukaku, reviving him; less than thirty percent of the chakra he expends enters Gaara's body 65. Naruto later transforms and distributes the Nine-Tails' chakra to Allied Forces shinobi, restoring their strength 173.
• Limits — Chakra reserves and control both matter. Naruto has difficulty maintaining a Rasengan with the Nine-Tails' violent chakra, even after forming extra hands from it 145. Techniques can also strain the body: Naruto's early water-ball practice injures his hands and meridians 31.
