Biodata
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Chakra (查克拉) |
| Type | Supernatural energy system |
| Origin | The God Tree refines the world’s natural energy into Chakra; Chakra is described as a power brought from beyond the world by the Ōtsutsuki and God Tree. 249 |
| Status | Chakra Seeds were destroyed after the Fourth Shinobi World War; existing reserves can be spent, but new Chakra can no longer be extracted. 350 351 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 1 1 |
Nature and Origin
Natural energy is identified as the Shinobi World’s native supernatural power. The God Tree absorbs this energy, refines it into Chakra, and ultimately produces a Chakra Fruit for Ōtsutsuki consumption. 249
After consuming a Chakra Fruit, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya ended an era of war and was worshipped as the Goddess of Rabbit. 120 Kaguya regards Chakra as her rightful possession, repeatedly asserting that all Chakra belongs to her. 93
Hyuga Setsuna theorizes that Hagoromo spread Chakra through Ninshū by placing hidden Chakra Seeds in humanity, effectively making every Chakra-bearing human a potential Vessel for his continued existence. This theory motivates the later extraction and destruction of those Seeds. 346
Sources and Forms
| Source / Form | Documented properties |
|---|---|
| Natural Energy | Native energy of the world. Ancient ninja tools can passively collect it; Setsuna can gather and convert it into Chakra due to his unusual physique. 249 |
| God Tree Chakra | Produced by the God Tree from natural energy and concentrated into Chakra Fruits. It is later treated as potentially harmful because of Hagoromo’s hidden Chakra Seed network. 249 346 |
| Dragon Vein Chakra | Vast land-accumulated energy released through human action. It powers Loulan’s puppets, strengthens Setsuna, and restores Kaguya’s soul-like form. 93 106 108 |
| Tailed Beast Chakra | The tailed beasts are fragments of the Ten-Tails. Their extracted Chakra can carry elemental traits and strengthen Kaguya and Setsuna. 191 241 312 |
| Ōtsutsuki Chakra | Exceptionally potent Chakra associated with Kaguya and Setsuna’s transformations. It can grant access to all seven Chakra attributes in Ōtsutsuki Mode. 2 |
Properties and Regulation
- Chakra circulates through a body’s meridian system. The Eight Gates regulate its output by limiting the amount that can be released. 28
- Opening the Eight Gates normally grants explosive increases in power at the cost of severe bodily damage and life force. 28
- The five basic elemental transformations are wind, water, earth, fire, and lightning. Yin Release and Yang Release allow these natures to coexist and be fused into All-Creation Power. 321
- Chakra can temporarily reinforce an ordinary iron weapon to a level comparable to Chakra Metal, although the weapon collapses after use. 17
- Chakra may be shaped into physical constructs, including Lion Heads, armor, chains, barriers, and Truth-Seeking Orbs. 142 179 321
Notable Applications
Chakra Enhancement
Chakra can strengthen weapons and taijutsu beyond their normal limits. Setsuna’s unusual Chakra reinforcement allows ordinary short swords to cut through techniques and briefly function like Chakra Metal weapons. 17
Elemental Transformation
Setsuna gradually acquires elemental Chakra through extracted sources:
| Attribute / Power | Source | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Release | Residual Asura Chakra extracted from Naruto | Grants Setsuna wind-nature Chakra and access to Wind Release techniques. 153 |
| Earth, Fire, and Lava Release | Four-Tails Son Gokū’s Chakra | Adds earth and fire attributes, Lava Release, and an additional red Chakra that advances Setsuna’s body. 191 |
| Water and Ice Release | Three-Tails Isobu’s Chakra | Adds water-nature Chakra and Ice Release. 241 |
| Lightning and Yin Release | Indra Chakra extracted from Sasuke | Completes Setsuna’s five elemental attributes and greatly enhances his ocular power. 321 |
All-Creation Power
After gathering Yin Release, Yang Release, and all five elemental transformations, Setsuna creates nine Truth-Seeking Orbs without relying on Tenseigan Chakra Mode. 321
History
Kaguya’s sealed body initially replenishes Setsuna’s Chakra through moonlight and nourishes both his body and Byakugan toward further evolution. 1 Her Chakra fuses with his body, accelerating his development toward a Sage Body and enabling early access to Ōtsutsuki Mode. 2 3
During the Loulan incident, Kaguya secretly absorbs Dragon Vein Chakra through Setsuna. The energy restores her strength, solidifies her soul-like form, and intensifies her desire to escape the sealing power confining her. 106 108
Setsuna later extracts Chakra from tailed beasts, Asura’s reincarnation, and Indra’s reincarnation. These acquisitions complete his elemental attributes, elevate his Sage Body, and allow the creation of Truth-Seeking Orbs through his own power. 191 241 321
Following Hagoromo and Hamura’s defeat, Chakra Seeds are removed from humanity. The surviving shinobi retain only the Chakra already within their bodies; once it is exhausted, it cannot be regenerated. The postwar order is consequently directed toward technological development rather than ninjutsu. 350 351
