Solids and liquids are different forms of matter but their different properties cause them to react to a baseball bat differently. Both states of matter still follow the same fundamental rules. Both forms of chakra do not. Even so, it makes no sense that this is still simply called chakra when they have such an essential difference in function. We have all sort of releases to indicate chakra taking on specific elements, we have senjutsu chakra to denote it has nature energy mixed in. LegionZero wrote: Bijuu can create more chakra because they are chakra given living form. And living organisms can make more chakra. Yet they do not turn into infinitely powerful beasts. There seems to be a limit to how much chakra they have and how much they can produce. There's more going on than then merely being chakra.

LegionZero wrote: Being made of chakra and being chakra are 2 different things. Susanoo and Kurama avatar are chakra. Tailed Beasts/Shadow Clones/Nature Transformation etc etc, are made of chakra. Kankaku and Ginkaku ate Kurama's flesh and were receptive to his chakra. C Biju are stated to be pure chakra. Kurama is pure chakra. Kinkaku and Ginkaku ate Kurama's chakra-flesh, and so received his chakra. But that flesh is chakra. It's a distinction without a difference.
