There are a few characters that are praised for having huge chakra pools like kisame, ay, nagato, obito, madara, naruto and others but i think minato gets overlooked. So i will explain why i believe minato has huge chakra pools that are worth mentioning, let´s be clear i´m not a minato wanker but i think this deserves to be mentioned.

First let me go to the 2 main techniques of minato: FTG and rasengan(which he invented).
FTG
FTG is a spacetime jutsu, while minato uses this technique quite casually which makes us suppose it isnt very chakra consuming the FTG is still spacetime jutsu and all the spacetime jutsus we know so far are very chakra demanding like kamui for example which always has a huge toll on kakashi, or sasuke´s ST which is a rinnegan base technique, or kaguya´s third eye shifting dimension tech or even the summons are chakra demanding, there are very few people in NV known for using Spacetime jutsu and that´s why very chakra demanding.

Besides the only people known for using FTG is tobirama(which had huge chakra reserves), minato and those 3 jounin who were his bodyguards although they had to use it together for FTG to work which makes it more obvios that FTG takes a lot of chakra if 3 people had gather to use it.
Rasengan
Now rasengan, although naruto uses rasengan very casually too, rasengan takes a lot of chakra too, to prove my point let´s remember rasengan is a technique of more or less the same level than chidori, and kakashi in part 1 who was an experience jounin admitted he was capable of using chidori only 5 times a day, so chidori is very chakra demanding and rasengan having more or less the same power then we can assume also rasengan takes a lot of chakra too.

Now let´s recall in detail the night obito unleash the nine tails.
That night minato was using his chakra to keep at bay the kyuubi while naruto was being born then after minato saved kushina he had at least used FTG 5 times by then, then he used FTG to teleport away a bijuudama which was huge therefore it took way more chakra than usual to teleport, then he used 1 more FTG to escape obito´s kamui, then obito wrapped him in chain and he used once more FTG, then once more used FTG to get behind obito´s back and used a huge rasengan which made the grow to collapse, then he blitzed obito using FTG and undid the kyuubi contract with obito, so by that time minato had already used 10 times FTG and one rasengan, then he teleported back to the leaf and summoned gamabunta and teleported himself and kurama away, the he teleported to bring kushina and narut which means 2 more FTG, then he used the reaper seal to seal away half the kyuubi within himself, by the way the reaper seal takes a lot of chakra if you recall hiruzen vs oro, hiruzen could only seal oro´s hand because oro was too powerful for hiruzen to seal him complete, so if kurama>>>>>oro that means it took way more chakra to seal half of kurama than oro´s hands, then he got pierced in the chest by the kyuubi and seal the remaining half of the kyuubi in naruto which should take still a decent amount of chakra and then he passed his remaining chakra to the seal so he could meet naruto again and reseal the kyuubi if nessesary.

So to sum up all minato did the night he died.
1-He used his chakra to keep the seal stable while naruto was born.
2-He used at least 14 times FTG which is a very chakra demanding technique as i explained not to mention he teleported 2 massive objects with FTG(bijuudma, kyuubi) which takes even more chakra.
3-Used a superpowerful rasengan which ripped obito´s arm and broke the floor.
4-Summoned gamabunta which requires a lot of chakra.
5-Performed the repear seal with a chakra beast which also takes a lot of chakra as explained.
6-Performed the ritual to seal the half the kyuubi in naruto which also should take a lot of chakra.
7-Still had some spare chakra to leave in the seal in case the seal was ever broken.

So in my opinion base minato gets overlooked for this but he´s actually a chakra monster along with nagato, kisame, obito, naruto and others.

I think you are over-hyping his chakra reserves a bit, putting him up with Nagato, Kisame, etc. But, he does have large reserves no doubt.

Well, I agree with most parts but I don't think the rasengan takes alot of chakra. It's considered a A Rank jutsu not in chakra but in difficulty. The technique requires super high concentration and skill. To maintain and hold a rapidly increasing spirals of chakra in a format of a sphere shape is no easy task my man. But I could be wrong maybe it is lol

but if you compare rasengan and chidori, they are more or less the same in power, and chidori spends a lot of chakra, part 1 kakashi could only do it 5 times while sasuke only 3, so if you assume they take more or less the same chakra you have that rasengan also spends a lot of chakra, besides naruto spams it because he has a huge chakra reserve capable of making hundreds of shadow clones which would kill a normal shinobi

Kakashi only got "large reserves" in the war arc. In the beggining of part 1 he passed out from over using the Sharingan, so Chidori shouldn't be that taxing if he could use it 5 times which includes the use of the Sharingan. Same said for Sasuke, he didn't have large reserves, well he did in comparison to the other Genin sans Naruto, but his chakra was more potent I think stated later. This is all part one.

I could be wrong.

Not that much of the "highest" but close enough.

well i think kakashi part 1 had a larger chakra reserve than most shinobi because the sharingan required a lot of chakra, a normal shinobi could only make 1 or 2 shadow clones before getting completely exhausted and kakashi after his battle with zabuza could still make like 10 shadow clones

I agree, but my point was the Chidori usage which required Sharingan.

Those were actually illusions. :p

Hmmm. Well I won't say your wrong about naruto. He does have Kurama. Sooo.... Okay, Jiraiya . Back in the day. He was able to show naruto many times the rasengan. Without breaking a sweat. He even used double hands when he was showing naruto how it looked inside a balloon and on the other hand, he show how it looked which was a regular rasengan. On top of that, he demonstrated the power against a tree. Twice, one while it's incomplete and the second time he did it perfectly just to show naruto how it would of looked of he would fail.

I mean Jiraiya was pretty old. Like the third, power and chakra does decrease as you get old. Because chakra is the combination of the mind and physical strength. We did see the results with the oro and hokage fight. Many spectators had their opinions about it. The anbu agreed Sarutobi was weaker then he was in his prime. Even the Monkey lol forgot his name :(

Nope. They were legitimate shadow clones, same handseals.

Regular clones uses different handseals.

yeah but jiraya was a legendary sanin, i would expect that from someone with the title of legendary, also remember jiraya could also summon gamabunta which demostrated he had huge chakra pools,not everyone could summon such a huge beast.

So he spawned like 30+ shadow clones when he "used too much chakra?" Seems legit. :rolleyes:

*It might fool them.
