I've been tinkering with a template for an optimized or "peak" human genome, using naturally occurring genetic variants that grant better than normal performance, etc. Mostly just to see what a biologically superior human might look like with just the low-hanging fruit of what's already available to use. So far, what I've got is a human that can live up to 140 years, needs only 4 hours of sleep per night, can stay up and exercise continuously for 3-4 days straight, never experiences muscle fatigue, feels less pain and can endure more of it, has more muscle and grows it faster, more flexible connective tissues, can breathe freely at higher altitudes than Mt Everest, dive for over 13 minutes at depths of 60 meters, better resist disease and toxins, has an rough IQ of 200, and other miscellaneous traits. Given such an physiology, if such an individual was in the Naruto-verse, do you think that they would have imbalanced chakra, due to their greater health giving them more physical energy? Or would higher than average intelligence/mental acuity in general balance that out with more spiritual energy?

PS: I have the template written up in a google doc that I can link for more thorough details.

PPS: Given that chakra reserves, control, and affinities are genetically linked, genetic engineering could be used to produce a ninja with Uzumaki-grade reserves, and multiple chakra nature affinities like Mei Terumi, who possessed 3 base chakra nature affinities(Fire, Water, Earth) and 2 kekkai genkai affinities(Lava and Boil Release). As having larger chakra reserves tends to degrade control, a strong predisposition to fine chakra control is also advantageous, bringing the subject's control up to naturally average rather than naturally poor. This is in addition to any further kekkai genkai a genetic engineer may have access to, such as dojutsu. Combined with the traits listed in the above paragraphs, making an population/army of near-guaranteed S-rank and Kage-level shinobi is possible.
