Go and read Ebisu's lesson to Naruto after the preliminaries for the third round of the Chunin Exam ended. Everyone has a physical parameter known as "total stamina", which is used for every move. Using taijutsu consumes total stamina with no waste, since all that's to consume is physical energy. When one uses chakra, however, there may be some issues with chakra control, which means that there will be a waste, like it was for Naruto back then since he had little to no chakra control. Basically, chakra=total stamina only when the shinobi in question has perfect chakra control, like Sakura and every other medical-nin.

that makes absolutely no sense because chakra is half physical energy so doing anything that expends physical energy should expend chakra. if thats what it says then kishimoto made a plot hole.

plus there have been multiple times in the entirety of Naruto where both Guy and Lee were low on chakra where they literally say i am low on chakra
