Chakra

Accumulating chakra and forming seals to activate a jutsu!

The physical and mental energies from 130 million body cells, that is, chakra, are accumulated, and by performing seals, this energy is converted into a jutsu. If this sequence is performed impeccably, the jutsu is activated.

To activate jutsu other than taijutsu, basic chakra conversion is needed.

To put it plainly, chakra is what fuels a jutsu. The mental and physical energies of a shinobi’s body are joined together into stamina, which is internally converted into chakra, the energy source for a jutsu’s activation. The efficiency of this conversion is influenced by the user’s skill. Being able to efficiently convert stamina means a possibility to cast an even larger number of jutsu. In addition, chakra can be used to temporarily trigger some physical abilities. Thanks to this, shinobi can perform superhuman physical feats.

Mental energy + Physical energy: It is necessary to balance out those two elements to knead properly.

Stamina: Having a lot of stamina means an increased number of jutsu available for use. The scope of attack expands proportionately. Naruto has a wonderful amount of stamina.

Control: Building up chakra at the soles of the feet, one can adhere to a tree branch. If one can maintain the chakra and control it, you can even stand upside-down. Releasing control even for a little bit is enough to fall to the ground.

Release: With training, it’s also possible to release chakra from the body. Continuous release from the sole of the feet enables one to walk on water. Upper classes are even able to stand still.

Seals are a capital step towards the conversion of the built-up chakra for a jutsu. Each jutsu has predetermined seals to it, and they have to be performed without a mistake, and at the exact moment of the jutsu’s activation. Basically, low-level jutsu have simple seals. For more advanced jutsu, more complex seals are required. Up: Normally, forming seals requires the usage of both hands.
