He's an uchiha ,so he automatically has really powerful chakra. The databook says that he only has a 2.5 in stamina, but that only relates to physical endurance not chakra. His stamina was only a 2.5 because he was sick and dying . Back to the question how large was his chakra pool?

I think he has an average sized chakra pool not too big, not too small

Pretty large. I just assume MS techs take a whole buttload of chakra. He didn't have a problem with standards fire and genjutsu techs while even using shadow clones which halve your chakra.

Very low, since his limit was Two MS techniques in part one, then in part two he got aids, so I doubt he had enough time to improve his stamina/chakra pools.

Itachi can use his tech many times because of his high level of chakra control. Chakra was not included the DBs because of this. Credit goes to T Bogard.

Well i had a little time, so i thought myself why not creating a thread concerning chakra/stamina basics? Lol. I just noticed that many people on the base confuse those 2. But well if you know it already never mind :)
Anyway let's go


1- Chakra/Stamina

These words are always/often confused in debates. Let me try to explain to you what is the real difference between the 2. First of all, stamina is the body energy and spiritual energy in a ninja's body. This chart represent the status of stamina when a ninja didn't use any jutsu(in other words when a ninja is at his peak)

In this case like you can see, only stamina flows inside a ninja, not chakra. This is the main difference. For chakra to flow, you need to build it up from your stamina(body and spiritual energy) by performing the tiger seal(red rectangle)



You must be registered for see images




Now concerning the 3types of jutsu(ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu), while chakra is needed for ninjutsu and genjutsu, it's not needed at all for taijutsu, and because of this the control of your stamina is also very simple since it only relies on your basic movements

Concerning ninjutsu and genjutsu however it's different. Like i've said, you need to perform the tiger seal

To convert your stamina into chakra(make chakra) necessary to perform any ninjutsu or genjutsu techniques

On the above pic for example Naruto converts 30% of his stamina into chakra and thus in this case, the remaining stamina is 70% with 30% of chakra available for ninjutsu or genjutsu techniques

Ninja need to convert stamina into their chakra perfectly to avoid chakra waste in the end. Someone like Sakura for example can

But Sasuke while being inept in chakra building himself can't avoid a chakra waste. It's for that reason that during the process of converting his stamina into chakra, if 30% is what he needs in reality, he would be converting 40% of his chakra instead, and thus leaving a 10% of chakra as extra



You must be registered for see images




He has perfect chakra control however(like Sakura) and thanks to this, he can perform the technique requiring 30% of his chakra without problems. But because there would still be a 10% of chakra left and you can't reconvert chakra back to stamina, it would be a waste of 10% of chakra in the end

In Naruto's case it was even worse. Because not only does he convert stamina to chakra even worse than Sasuke(50% of his stamina into chakra when 30% is only needed for example), but he also has a poor chakra control, so if for a technique he needs 30% of the converted chakra(50%), he could only use 10% of it and thus accusing a 40% of chakra lost with the inability to reconvert the built chakra back to stamina

Hope you enjoyed reading U_U



PS: I intend to create another concerning the "Kage bunshin" since i noticed it's another thema confused by many concerning the workings, but i'll probably do it later with more time :)

So in conclusion, I infer that Itachi is at a medium. But he is able to use his techs many times for the reason stated above.

He may have really powerful chakra, but there is nothing stating that quantity wise, he has a lot of it.

In a fairly detailed explanation, Ebisu stated that chakra is converted from stamina, so it goes hand in hand.



Meaning that if Itachi in Part I had a 2.5 in stamina, then he's rather limited in the chakra department.



Here, after Itachi used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke and Amaterasu to escape Jiraiya's fire breathing stomach toad jutsu, we can see he's visibly worn out.

You could say he was faking it in order to not have to fight Jiraiya, who was a Leaf Shinobi (and thus, a member of a village that Itachi was trying to protect).



Here, after previously having had used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke, and now using Amaterasu, you can say he's visibly tired. (We can't count this TOO much either, because at this point he was known to be sick).

However, just because a jutsu is devastating doesn't mean it has to be the most chakra taxing technique ever.

Kakashi, who has a "barely average" level of chakra was able to use Chidori in Part I four times.

But is there anything stating that Chidori takes less chakra than Amaterasu? It could very well be that Amaterasu is more destructive because of a more advanced shape manipulation.

I'd say that Itachi pre-illness had a weakness of chakra.

But in the end, he had more than enough control to exercise it efficiently and also the intelligence to know WHEN to use the technique. In Part I, until we see something that tells us otherwise, we can only say that he did not have the illness.

EDIT: The guy above me more-or-less beat me to it.

But at the very least, two members agree to this.

chakra wise he has very little but he has exceptional chakra control so he doesn't waste it just like a sniper can kill several targets with one bullet unlike an unskilled one who needs several to kill just one unmoving target.........

jounin level? His stamina is less than Kid Naruto's.. so.. just take a guess from that.

He stamina = Kiba's stamina after time-skip, near main arc.
