Honestly some people here are really confused on Chakra Control...I'll give a brief and short explanation

Its basically controlling and moving ones chakra to many parts of the body with great efficiency to either complete a technique or enhance it. Example;

• Moving chakra from solar plexus to lungs to do Fire Ball Jutsu

• Moving and contant supplying of equal ratio chakra at feet to either walk on water or climb on tries, this is really basic.

• Or even moving chakra to legs to do full burst movements, like Body Flicker Jutsu.

And according to Tailed Beast, to control their chakra one need to balance the ratio of yin and yang accordingly, this is also Chakra Control. But my theory is chakra control varies depending on chakra type.

Also note that hand seals are just there to make moving and controlling chakra easier.

The advantages of great chakra control are typically less usage of chakra in a particular technique, not spilling or leaking any unnecessary chakra while at it.

Another nice example is Tsunade and Sakura focusing a perfect ratio of chakra to their fist to unleash devastating monster strength.

Medical Nin or Sensor types have great chakra control even above most Jounin.


Who is the best at it;

Haruno Sakura and Tsunade. For storing and focusing chakra on one point for 3 years, even through injuries, unconscious states and sleeping, wow...

They have the ability to use Rasengan, though plot and character build up will never allow that.


NOTE:

Your efficiency of chakra control isn't directly correlated to the mass of chakra, though harder to move, its absolutely not.

Tsunade and Sakura are above all of the Kages level in terms of chakra control.

Defination of Chakra Control​

Chakra Control is a term that refers to the control of one's chakra and aptitude at controlling it. In Naruto, chakra takes time and a great deal of training to gradually build up.
Thus, the key is not actually having chakra, but being able to sufficiently control and conserve it. Everyone has chakra, but only skilled ninja can correctly "mould" and "manipulate" it to its fullest extent. Moulding chakra involves the extraction of energies from both the body's cells and the mind's consciousness, then mixing them together within the individual. The amount of each energy will differ based on the type of technique the ninja wishes to execute. In other words, a ninja could create too much or too little chakra for a given technique, resulting in the chakra being used inefficiently. In addition, even if a ninja is able to mould the correct amount
of chakra, if they cannot manipulate the chakra properly, the desired technique will not be as effective or will not execute at all. Wasting energy will also create weaknesses like early exhaustion, which would hinder the ninja's capacity to fight long-term battles. General training methods for improving one's moulding and manipulation of chakra are the Leaf Concentration, Tree Climbing, and Water Walking exercises.

As an in-between stage, some ninja can partially manipulate their chakra. This means they can use their chakra, but not effectively control it, which results in a poorly executed technique, a prime example is Naruto trying to use the Academy Clone Technique. To manipulate their chakra more easily, hand seals can be used. With these hand seals, users can control their chakra with higher efficiency, allowing them to execute their techniques more effectively. Different techniques also require the use of different hand seals.

When creating a ninjutsu, the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as
Shape Transformation and NatureTransformation: -RasenShuriken



Shape Transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of chakra.
Nature Transformation usually deals with changing the physical properties of chakra into an element. There is also the Nature Transformation of Yin and Yang, which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.
These two methods can be implemented separately or together in order to create a technique.
The general term for the exact moulding and proper manipulation of chakra is called "chakra control". People with skilled chakra control are usually Medical-nin or Sensor-types, both of which requires extreme control over chakra to be effective. Genjutsu apparently also requires good chakra control.

A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral. Whether to spin the chakra left or right is dependent on the way the user's hair grows, either to the right or left. An opponent can negate a technique by absorbing it and reversing the spin of the chakra within their own body.

The Bijuu Dama is actually chakra shaping, and a Tailed Beast version of Chakra Control, remember the controlling of yin and yang ratios...

Its completely different from basic chakra control, plus the Bijuu Dama is very basic in chakra control, compare it to something like Kakashi's Raikiri Lightning Running Beast or Water Dragon Jutsu.

maintaining and balancing the ratio of positive and negative chakra is nothing right? Then adding senjutsu chakra to it........naruto almost pulled in KCM...........

I could never find a source for the claim about sensor ninjas having great chakra control. Medical ninja yes, but sensors? I know it's said on Narutopedia but where else?

No its the basic manipulation to control Bijuu Chakra, this is why Jinchuuriki's are specially trained for it, its not something they picked up in Academy. The ratio and mass of chakra has nothing to do with the level of chakra control, though its hard to control that needs special chakra control to take care of, like Naruto dealing with Kurama's chakra.

If sensors are better at chakra control BSM Naruto is the best of the best out there........
But i don't agree with the term that sensors are better at chakra control.........

Sensors spout their chakra everywhere to every location to sense. Think of it as throwing a stone in a pond and the ripples forming is the feedback of chakra sensing for the sensors. Sensors obviously being the pond itself.

They are not "better" but they utilize it better than most ninja do, since basic sensory(no KKG) requires a solid chakra control.

Yes, I can imagine that, but is it an actual manga fact or an educated guess? Besides, I always thought sensing worked like radio reception (they go about it during Pain's invasion, likening Nagato to a transmitter that sends chakra to the receivers). Sensor type ninjas are kind of like antennas (radars) receiving chakra waves.

show me scans or you're just trolling
Doesn't Tobirama and Minato sensing the number of shinobi's by simply putting their finger to the ground convince you?

Or Muu differentiating between chakra types in a large army?

I don't need scans to show you, its common sense left by Kishimoto, how else do they sense chakra?

Its a mixture of both common sense and actual manga facts, and yeah its kinda like a radio transmitting signals to other radios so to say.

I'm looking through manga pages and I can't find anything stating clearly that sensing requires good chakra control. I've only found a reference to Karin being an "extremely skilled" sensor. We on the forum can speculate all we want (heck I'd like to believe this since my fave is a sensor too), but even Narutopedia mentions it. I know people there are quite picky about their sources, but no matter how much I asked, nobody could present actual reference to a particular manga or databook page. It would be a shame if it's just speculation after all, even if it makes sense :|

This ^^^ you need to prove not just words but scans also..............
Here is an example of Karin sensing;

She is basically controlling and focusing her chakra to either "connect" to other chakra to basically sense it, she has no Kekkei Genkai this is basic stuff, this is the only explanation of sensing works, its like radios and signal transmitters.

If you proof me wrong try telling me a better explanation how sensory works.
