I was recently chatting with Hirudora regarding a different thread I was planning on making and during the chat I stumbled upon an Idea that I don't think anyone else has expounded on before, So here we are... What is this Life Force we have heard so much about?
Introduction of a Concept
So first let me explain the Origins of the notion of Life Force:

Life Force under the Light
Let me try and make sense of this through the scan it was mentioned in.
The Elder Brother(Uchiha) was gifted with Powerful Chakra's and Spiritual Energies.
The Younger Brother(Senju) was gifted with a Life Force and Physical Energies.
Now the Elder and Younger Brothers are like polar opposites, one has Spiritual Energy the other Physical, one believes peace is found through war the other through love. And thus based on that logic we can expect Life Force to be the counter part of Powerful Chakra's. So based on this:
If Powerful Chakra's is big then we can expect Life Force to be small.
if Powerful Chakra's is strong then we can expect Life Force to be potent.
With that I believe Life Force to be is the amount of Chakra required for someone to stay alive. Weird I know but we have scene it time and time again that when people push themselves to the brink they often die. Good examples of this would be Kakashi.
But Uzumaki (known for having strong Life Forces) always seem to take a licking and keep on kicking. How many times have we seen Naruto fight when he supposebly shouldn't have Chakra Left? Or the fact that a weak and fragile Nagato managed to use both Shinra Tensie to destroy Konoha and then Rinne Tensie to revive everyone in Konoha. Or Tsunade who is part Senju who healed every single person in the Village pushing her Chakra reserves to its upmost limits and yet survive?
I believe there is something to this idea.

Conclusion
Now let us look at how the NarutoWiki describes it:
Now in all fairness the Wiki shouldn't always be trusted. But I think a good case can be made in favor of its statement.
Update #1
Consider The Body to be a Business.
Chakra is the Businesses Revenue - This is the profit that can be spent on anything without impacting the business.
Life Force is the Operating Costs - This is the necessary profit needed to keep the company running like lights, salary, manufacturing costs etc... These things are required for the business to run and if you don't have the money to pay for it then the business will be forced into bankruptcy.
As you can see Life Force is a part of Chakra much like a Business Operating Costs are part of its Revenue. But Life Force is merely the amount required to keep the body functioning.
Now consider people like Senju and Uzumaki to have very little operating costs. This allows them to push themselves further in regards to how much Revenue they are allowed to spend. It may get a little confusing because you want smaller operating force, there is a bit of an influx here. The Higher your life force the less amount of chakra required to power the body.
Hope this helps!
