Chaosattractor im not assuming anything

"and I have no idea how you managed to leap from that to physical augmentation. " chakra is a combination of mental and physical energy therefore any training that increase the overall size of the chakra network is going to have an added bonus of strength this is just logic sakura didn't always have monstrous physical strength but she developed it via training not only does she have monstrous strength when using her chakra to augment her physical strength but her muscles naturally have physical strength because chakra effects the spiritual and physical energies in the body since thats what its made off the original still feels every ounce of pain the clones do. stabs and what not to not revert to the original but the stress of the injuries do. physical   stress and emotional stress are all reverted to the original the clones are living breathing beings who bleed if a clone stays in active long enough its chakra network expands back up to what it was when first cast maybe even more so than when it was originally cast

and again i never said random shinobi would pop up a 1000 clones i simply said they could start off by training with a single shadow clone and actually the manga confirms my speculations when kiba used shadow clones as a means to increase his stamina. which is the exact same thing as chakra. the databook lumps chakra under the stamina as such if it says a person has say 5 stamina that means they have huge chakra reserves kiba specifically trained with a shadow clone to increase his stamania ie chakra it specifically says one can train there chakra network to become larger by either physical or mental training. it says that originally asura was weak had hardly any chakra and eventually through training he developed a power that rivaled his brother and guess what Asura had chakra that surpassed a bijuu

that is the entire point of training, to increase ones physical and mental abilities

since chakra is made of both physical and spiritual energy training both will increase its size and power

a persons abilities in naruto is different from real life in which there strength is determined by an invisible mystical energy called chakra hence the reason a scrawny naruto could lift a boulder that was like 5 times his body size above him. or like how a small toad can lift a massive toad that has to weigh atleast 40 tonnes and throw it 60 or 70 feet

and its different with the 8 gates the 8 gates allows all of the persons chakra to permeate there entire body so they have chakra poisoning so to speak training in this method would simply train the physical and mental energies causing them to become larger and more powerful

look at when sakura used her seal on her fourhead in the filler arch that sensor chick was like" what the hell her chakra reserve just sky rocketed" just imagine the chakra network as a balloon the shinobi trains it and gradually it expands you push it to much and it will explode IE the 8 gates but if you gradually work it it will expand and become massive

this wiki also states At any given time, a ninja will have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it runs out and they need to rest to replenish it. With practice this maximum can be increased, but to a certain extent they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants them as such Kakashi Hatake has large chakra reserves, but no amount of training can grant him the same amount of chakra as Naruto Uzumaki was born with but that doesn't mean said person can not train and atleast come close to it. also another thing there is no way someone like raikage was born with bijuu level chakra he had to train when he was young and scrawny he may have had potent chakra but he would not have been bijuu level and look at naruto back in the day his chakra was only 4 times that of kakashi but now his chakra is atleast 100 times kakashi's since as a fully awakened trasmigrant his chakra surpasses that of a bijuu according to hashirama who said that naruto, minato and kurama had chakra comparable to his own in volume and this was before the sage gave him his own six paths chakra

all in all the method in question would be a valid way of slowly and gradually increasing ones chakra network

one last thing

you say there is no proof that training can increase ones chakra volume and power yet rock lee who is noted at being unskilled was noted at having extremity powerful chakra of a large valume by sasuke when they had that short battle before the chunin exams and that was from a simple touch of arms that sasuke noted about his chakra
