| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chakra Clone unlocked | 13 | Uchiha Genba raises the Three Body Technique to Lv10, enabling him to create chakra lifeform clones whose strength depends on the chakra supplied. |
| Chakra Morphing unlocked | 102 | At Three Body Technique Lv20, Genba gains the ability to transform chakra into other forms; their strength and authenticity depend on the chakra consumed. |
| Mysterious Peacock Method Lv20 | 157 | Its purple chakra no longer causes negative effects for Genba, and he can practice the method without star radiation. |
| Virus Chakra discovered | 173 | Leon refines chakra after T-Virus infection. The resulting chakra erodes ordinary chakra but also provokes violent impulses. |
| Type-2 Virus Chakra crystal core | 180 | Number Four refines a Tyrant into an Evolutionary Zombie with a chakra crystal core. |

| Tenseigan Chakra Mode | 218 | Genba absorbs the yellow Tenseigan and enters a mode accompanied by an immense chakra aura and control over gravity. |
Nature and Refinement
Chakra is produced by combining physical and spiritual energy. Genba's attribute upgrades increase the speed at which he refines chakra, the amount he can hold, and its intensity 13 173. His spirit attribute is also linked to genjutsu resistance and sensory perception 13.
Chakra can carry properties specific to its source or method of refinement. Orochimaru's analysis finds that Genba's chakra has all elemental attributes, unusual plasticity, and strong vitality 26. The Mysterious Peacock Method produces purple chakra associated with a star, while the Sage Chakras of Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave have differing properties 173.
Uses and Forms
Techniques and Constructs
- Ninjutsu — Chakra powers techniques including healing, clones, and Genba's Body Flicker effects 13 24 41.
- Chakra Clones — Independent, conscious lifeforms made from supplied chakra. Three clones created with ten percent of Genba's chakra each possess about ten percent of his strength 13 16.
- Chakra Morphing — Shapes chakra into other forms. Genba's Number One clone uses it to take Nohara Rin's appearance 102 110.
- Chakra weapons — Number Four's Chakra Blade can change into swords, axes, spears, and other weapons 169.
Transfer and Recovery
- Transfer — Genba converts his chakra into an absorbable, non-elemental form to replenish Terumi Mei's reserves 127.
- Self-healing — Genba's enhanced Healing Jutsu automatically consumes chakra to repair injuries 41.
- Tailed Beasts — As chakra lifeforms, Tailed Beasts can recover after losing their chakra, though the process can be painful and lengthy. Most of Saiken's chakra is extracted from Utakata while a small remnant remains inside him 50.
Virus Chakra
Leon first produces Virus Chakra after the T-Virus alters his body. It appears black and mist-like, dissolves ordinary chakra on contact, and gives him an urge to kill. Number Four concludes that it has lost the virus's infectious property within chakra while gaining its erosive effect 173.
- Leon, Claire, and Marvin learn chakra refinement under Number Four 171.
- Their early Virus Chakra reserves remain limited despite improving their physical capabilities 175 178.
- Jill later manifests a different, ghostly blue form identified as the Corpse Release Chakra Number Four sought to create 194.
