Chakra

Chakra is the energy that allows all beings on the universe to use ninjutsu, this energy is divided in two primary types: physical energy (which is trained doing physical exercises) and spiritual energy (that can be trained studying and meditating).

## Origin

Chakra was brought to Earth by the chakra fruit from the God Tree, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki consumed the chakra fruit and became the first person on the planet to mold chakra, passing that power on to her sons, Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki which in turn, passed chakra to the rest of humanity.

## Overview

Every person has a system called chakra network inside of the body, in which there’s something like blood vessels through the body with chakra instead of blood, all channels where chakra flows converge into a region close to the stomach center, there resides the person’s chakra reserves.

Through every channel there is 361 nodes called chakra points, which controls the user’s chakra flow, preventing the person from overflowing itself or using too much chakra, ignoring those restrictions would cause a permanent damage to the body.

It is not possible to see chakra through normal means unless there is a great amount of chakra being used, this is because there is eight crucial chakra points called Eight Gates, which are the main chakra limiter a person has.

## Chakra Control

Chakra is like any muscle on the body, it takes time to build it up and develop itself. To use chakra correctly a individual needs to use it without expending large amounts of chakra, only releasing the correct amount to use an ability. This allows the user to conserve chakra and battle for longer periods of time.

This practice is named chakra control. Having good chakra control means the user can use jutsus outputting only the minimum amount of chakra needed to use a jutsu of perform an ability.

When someone wants to create a jutsu, they need to decide what type of manipulation the jutsu will have: shape transformation or nature transformation. Those types are what makes a jutsu, of course a jutsu can consist of the two types of manipulations but they are incredibly tough to create and master.

* Shape Transformation: Allows the user to control the form, movement, and potency of chakra.
* Nature Transformation: Allows the user to change the physical properties of chakra into an element.

## Types of Chakra

### Pure Chakra

This chakra is originated from the God Tree that can be planted in any habitable planet, being used by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who ate a fruit from the tree, her direct descendants and Tailed Beasts as well, having a white color originally.

If a user of pure chakra merges with a God Tree, the chakra of the user will turn orange/red and this version of pure chakra is the one Tailed Beasts has, Hagoromo and Hamura inherited half of Kaguya’s pure chakra so their chakra are respectively gold and purple.

### Regular Chakra

This chakra is a diluted form of the pure chakra, being present in all living beings of Earth. Regular chakra has a light blue color and is the one used by humans ever since Asura and Indra’s birth, also being used by summoning animals like frogs, snakes, and slugs.

### Nature Chakra

This chakra is a special form of chakra discovered by sapient animals, nature chakra has a light cyan/teal color and is a mixture of physical, spiritual and natural energy, with the latter being found in any natural object in the planet, such as plants.
