Losing an arm isn't gonna reduce his chakra levels in any meaningful way whatsoever. BlazeRelease wrote: mental and phyical energy is mixed to use chakra so they just can't mix just like that. I think they have to be properly brought together(in the middle part of the body/heart)to then form chakra. Judging by the Eight Gates, chakra is mostly molded in the torso.
