Chakra Control

While every living thing in the Naruto Universe has chakra, it is how one can control and manipulate their chakra can one have power.

"Because chakra takes time and a great deal of training to gradually build up, the key to its use is not actually having large amounts of chakra but instead being able to sufficiently control and conserve it." (Naruto Wiki)

" In order to have good chakra control, a ninja should only mould as much chakra as they need to perform a given ability. If they mould more chakra than is needed, the excess chakra is wasted and they will tire out faster from its loss. If they don't mould enough chakra, a technique will not be performed effectively, if at all, likely creating problems in a combat situation." (Naruto Wiki)



There are techniques that one can learn to control their chakra and how they use it. These include the  Leaf Concentration, Tree Climbing, and Water Surface Walking exercises.

For instance, with the water surface walking exercise, one must perfectly control their chakra in their feet if they want to walk on water and not fall into the cold water.
