I've seen people suggest that the edo have infinite chakra which is simply untrue.

Madara used the word unlimited, not infinite. People assume that because someone is an edo tensei, they can spam what the hell they like. Let's rethink how the edo tensei works

They regenerate damage over and over again. For the most part, we haven't seen anyone spam massive techniques over and over again. Therefore, a reanimated shinobi regenerates their chakra over and over again. They cannot use any techniques that exceed their reserves or use techniques continually that would deplete their reserves. It just comes back. Like unlimited refills. Just thought I'd point that out.

Yeah because Naruto Wiki is made by people who get first hand knowledge from kishi...

You didn't know that, Black Jesus?

I'd figure someone of your level would.

Maybe if you were Asian Jesus.

Narutopedia says that that unlike while they were still alive, the reincarnated have unlimited chakra and stamina; able to can fight continuously as neither Kimimaro, Itachi nor Hayate showed any fatigue from their illnesses as they did in life, and Itachi was even able to use multiple Mangekyō Sharingan techniques without showing exhaustion, while minor uses caused fatigue in life.

Yeah, ppl. Thought ET gives them omnipotent lv. Of chakra which is not true.
We have seen kage while holding there barrier have there limits of chakra lv.

Let do the math.
If a living ninja got hit by finisher (eg. chidori to the heart, rasengan to the face or tsunade's heavenly kick of pain to the face) then that living ninja is dead. But it's ET ninja they are immortal, if they got hit by finisher like that it put them down for sure. then they will regenerate.(it takes a little time tho.) we can't say ET ninja die again.

If Living ninja used too much chakra they will die, ET ninja used too much chakra died again?
Nope.. same story they are immortal so they will regenerate back like there organ. (Also takes little time) because we can't say ET ninja die for the second time. We Just say incapable of moving.

They had no fatigue from their ilnesses, how does that make their chakra infinite. They can regenerate, it only makes sense that their illness wouldn't affect them. Itachi used a lot of MS tech's when he was alive, if he can regenerate chakra, he will be able to use them.

There has to be some finite amount of chakra that a ET summon has look at negato when he was summoned his chakra was still depleted to the point where his hair was still white instead of the trademark uzumaki red. Then when he absorbed chakra his hair returned to its natural color. You cant have a Infinite amount of of anything and then add on to it. Granted this is a fictional series, a little constancy goes a long way. Because normal/regular chakra is combination of two forms of energy physical( i.e. all living things produce + its probabally why a living sacrifice is required) which would exclude ET summons and spiritual energy (energy that comes from the mind/soul) which edos are simply produced from. So if edo tensi blends the line between life and death and allows for the blending of the two types of energy then there would be a finate amount of chakra a summon can have but to an unlimited degree until sealed or otherwise noted. Gotta love poor translations combined with abstract concepts. Although its not to hard to figure out if you think about it abducto absurbum ....

Yes, but it isn't the same concept, I probably shouldn't have picked on his use of the word unlimited. What I am saying, is that they have their own level of chakra which refills. Madara could only spam meteors because of senju DNA, and when he regenerated his damage he regenerated chakra
