you keep denying the facts. they have said that you still USE CHAKRA WHEN USING TAIJUTSU thats a freaking fact. stop denying it. there is no ifs ands or buts about it. all shinobi expend chakra when they fight even if it is taijutsu how many times in the manga and anime have a taijutsu fighter been fighting and eventually they are low on chakra even Guy said so in the war. it is a fact over use of the body will extinguish chakra

also the data book specifically lumps regular stamina and chakra into one category if the data book states that guy has a 5 in stamina and rock lee has a 3.5 that means they have powerful chakra.

you keep going on about Oh taijutsu doesn't use chakra when doing taijutsu but thats simply false. any movement done will expend chakra even if it is only slightly that is a fact. and more over thats why taijutsu specialists are so powerful because instead of using their chakra for ninjutsu they use it to develop powerful taijutsu when team guy were fighting there mirrored self when they all went after gaara to save him guy said he was low on chakra

Guy being out of chakra after a fight does not prove your point. Guy uses chakra-enhanced taijutsu, such as Daytime Tiger, Night Guy, and other techniques of that nature. OF COURSE HE WOULD BE OUT OF CHAKRA. Basic taijutsu, the act of using martial arts or the body's own physical properties, does not use chakra. Nor does movement. If these were the case, Kakashi would never have been able to do ANYTHING after getting the Sharingan, because of his low reserves, and Sasuke wouldn't have beaten Yoroi in the Chunin prelims, and Gaara would've destroyed Konoha, and several ninja would've just laid down and died during the war because of an inability to do anything practical. None of this happened in the manga I'm reading. The version of Naruto you seem to be reading may well have all of this occurring, but if so, discuss that crazy manga on another wiki.

In fact, this very wiki, edited by people with much greater knowledge than I, agrees with me. From the Taijutsu page, and I quote:

"Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques."
