Chakra Control

The term encompasses a ninja's ability or skill at controlling their chakra. Early in the series, the useful ability of Chakra Control is touched upon; during the 'Land of Waves' arc Sakura's perfect Chakra Control enabled her to pick up on the exercise in one attempt.

The molding of one's chakra entails drawing upon the energies from the trillions and trillions of the body's cells and the spiritial energy of the ninja, then mixing them together within the individual. While all ninja have chakra, only a skilled ninja could correctly 'mold' and 'manipulate' it to its fullest extent. In the Narutoverse, chakra takes both time and training to gradually build up: The key to executing a jutsu to maximum efficiency lies in the ninja being able to sufficiently control their chakra.

Chakra Control is the foundation of all Medical techniques. It is also the central principle of Tsunade's and Sakura Haruno's Chakra Enhanced Strength.
