Nature and Composition

- Uchiha bloodline awakening can increase both the quality and quantity of a user's Chakra in stages. 1
- Mental Energy can give Chakra a pronounced Yin Release nature, enhancing compatible techniques. 62
- Chakra can be refined into elemental techniques, used to reinforce the body, transmitted through weapons or strings, and combined with Natural Energy. 185 203 287
Chakra Natures and Transformations
Basic Nature Transformations
The five fundamental Breathing Techniques correspond to the five basic Chakra natures: wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth. 185
Meikyō originally possessed fire, wind, and lightning natures; after obtaining Wood Release, he also gained water and earth natures. 337
Yin Release and Yang Release
- Yin Release is associated with Mental Energy and can grant special properties to Chakra-based techniques. 62
- Yang Release is associated with bodily vitality and influences the upper limit of Medical Ninjutsu training. 184
- The Uchiha's ocular power is described as the pinnacle of Yin Release, while powerful Yang Release is considered a possible means of restoring Mangekyō ocular power. 184
Yin–Yang Release
Yin–Yang Release is created by fusing Yin Release and Yang Release. It is the foundation of Six Paths Power and can manifest as the black rods used by figures such as Madara, Nagato, and Obito. 310
| Component | Source / Function |
|---|---|
| Indra Chakra | Ultimate Yin Release Chakra; associated with the Uchiha bloodline. 309 |
| Asura Chakra | Ultimate Yang Release Chakra; obtained by Meikyō through Hashirama Cells. 309 |
| Six Paths Power | Formed when Indra Chakra and Asura Chakra fuse. 309 |
Chakra-Based Systems
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu uses Chakra to produce practical effects, including elemental attacks, sensory techniques, body enhancement, medical treatment, sealing, and spatial movement.
- Chakra-created Fire Style is not ordinary flame; it can exist in the vacuum of space and is described as possessing plasma-like properties. 337
- Lightning Release can stimulate bodily cells, though improper use risks damaging tissue. 185
- Chakra can be released through the acupoints in the feet to improve aerial mobility when used with Moon Step. 203
- Chakra strings can operate large-scale war puppets and machinery. 340
Genjutsu
Genjutsu can disrupt or control an opponent through Chakra, including interference with another person's Chakra flow. 369
- The Sharingan can perceive and counter genjutsu. 31
- Uchiha Hikari's genjutsu was capable of placing Chakra marks on targets and controlling their minds. 341
- Tobirama Senju's Bringer-of-Darkness Technique was used to disrupt Hashirama Senju's Chakra long enough for him to be sealed. 369
Medical Ninjutsu
Medical Ninjutsu relies on advanced Chakra control and a user's Yang Release aptitude. 184
- Meikyō used Medical Ninjutsu while assisting Tsunade with thoracic surgery on Uchiha Tatsu. 113
- Meikyō later explored Lightning Release body-tempering while relying on Medical Ninjutsu to repair experimental tissue damage. 185
Chakra Modes
Chakra Modes circulate Chakra throughout the body to dramatically improve physical performance.
- Lightning Release Chakra Mode combines multiple Lightning Release transformations to enhance speed, strength, and taijutsu. 206
- Its Lightning Chakra is modified to resemble the body's bioelectricity, allowing sustained cell stimulation with reduced damage. 208
- Meikyō developed his own Lightning Release Chakra Mode and used it against Rōshi's Lava Release Chakra Mode. 220
- Lava Release Chakra Mode covers the user in lava, granting extreme heat, defensive strength, and the ability to melt targets through contact. 220
Senjutsu and Sage Chakra
Natural Energy can be mixed with Chakra at a one-to-two ratio to form Sage Chakra, which can then be stored in the body. 287
- Sage Mode grants powerful sensory abilities by perceiving the world through Natural Energy. 287
- Meikyō used Sage Mode to detect White Zetsu hidden within a range of roughly five kilometers. 221
- Sage Chakra stored in Meikyō's dantian enabled him to manifest the Armored Senju Great Buddha. 305
- Six Paths Senjutsu can combine Six Paths Power with Sage Techniques to create Truth-Seeking Orbs. 405
Kekkei Genkai and Bloodline Net
Kekkei Genkai
Kekkei Genkai can be created by fusing basic Chakra natures. Meikyō identified sixteen possible two-nature combinations. 344
| Kekkei Genkai | Chakra Composition | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Scorch Release | Fire + Wind | Produces scorching heat; Fire Style serves as the core nature. 344 |
| Boil Release | Water + Fire | Produces scalding mist. 344 |
| Lava Release | Water + Earth | Produces a fluid with water-like properties; Water Style serves as the core nature. 344 |
| Wood Release | Earth + Water | Produces solid plant matter with earth-like properties; Earth Style serves as the core nature. 344 |
Bloodline Net
The Bloodline Net is described as the endpoint of the Chakra system. Mastering it would make a ninja a Six Paths-level powerhouse. 341
- Meikyō sought to understand and integrate Kekkei Genkai in pursuit of the Bloodline Net. 341 344
- The fusion of three Chakra natures may produce a Kekkei Tōta, such as Dust Release. 344
- Meikyō's copied Dojutsu and techniques allowed him to contend with Madara during their battle. 369
Ocular Chakra and the Sharingan
The Sharingan is an Uchiha bloodline ability awakened when intense emotional shock produces special energy in the brain that stimulates the optic nerves. 279
- Keeping the Sharingan active consumes Chakra; Meikyō's ten-year-old body initially could not sustain it for long. 1
- The Mangekyō Sharingan consumes ocular power and strains both the eyes and body, potentially causing blindness through repeated use. 142 279
- The Third Stage Susanoo imposed a severe burden on Meikyō's ocular power and body, causing bloody tears during battle. 171
- The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan surpasses the Mangekyō by eliminating its ocular-power flaw and improving ocular-power quality. 282
