Energy

**Energy** (エネルギー, "*Enerugī*") is the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. There are many different types of energies within the world.

## **Energy Types**

* **Soul** ー container for one's spirit, life force and chakra.

* **Spirit** ー contains ones memories, thoughts, and abilities

* Life Force ー physical energy that manifests into a person's overall stamina, durability and longevity combined into one. Its power depends on the potency of the three. It does not carry memories or experiences and for the most part cannot be controlled. It can be further defined as a persons physical energy's potential to sustain and invigorate them.

* Chakra ー powers created in the body by combining physical and spiritual energies.

## **Energy Sub-Types**

* **Nature Energy** ー energy that can be collected from the atmosphere and terrain.

* **Demonic Energy** ー nature energy that originates from the Land of the Dead. It is more corrosive and evil than regular nature energy.

* **Pure Energy** ー nature energy that originates from the Pure Land. It is much more clean and calming than regular nature energy. When it is combined with Spiritual Energy it can become what some call Priestess Chakra.

* **Spiritual Energy** ー energy produced by one's studying, meditation, and experiences.

* **Physical Energy** ー energy collected from each and every one of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise.

* **Void Energy** ー is a form of energy that exists in all things with the unique property of possessing the building blocks of physical energy, spiritual energy and nature energy. Void energy can become either of the three.

## **Mental Plane**

A plane inside of one's mind. It apparently requires a body to exist.

## **Other**

* **Body** ー the physical manifestation of one's physical energy which carries the Soul when living. Apparently after death ones genetics still possess chakra.

* **Mind** ー when inside of a body, a person's Spirit.

Apparently, damage to the spirit or soul results in the decay of the body bearing the spirit or soul. Evidence is seen with Dan Katō's ability the Spirit Transmission Technique as well as with Orochimaru when his arms (a portion of his soul) was sealed using the Reaper Death Seal. It can be explained like this: If a container holding liquid is broken the liquid will undoubtedly begin to leak and be drained from the container leaving it empty.

* **Birth** ー when a child in the womb is in development they are given a Soul and Life Force. At this same time they produce a Spirit and begin to produce Chakra (spiritual energy from dreams/experiences and physical energy from their mother and father's genetics).
* **Death** ー upon death a person's *Soul* either goes to the Pure Land, Underworld or is sealed. The *Spirit* (along with ones *Chakra*) can go with the soul but has the option to linger at its place of death. It must possess ones chakra, otherwise the spirit could not persist in the physical plane without even a small measure of physical energy. The *Life Force* decays with the *Body*.

It should be noted that in Naruto no one truly dies; their energies are simply transferred to another place.

* **Spirit Word** ー also known as the word soul (言霊, "kotodama"), this is the word most uttered by a person in their life. It is recorded in the spirit itself, as the spirit is the retainer for a person's memories and thoughts. Through this, the spirit word is also closely connected to ones soul.
