When the Eight Tails got a part of his tail cut off, Sasuke brought back the
Eight Tails' body, but only about (estimate) 94% of it (due to the tail part
still remaining with Killer B in it). Does that mean that they were able to
extract 94% of the Eight Tails' chakra?

This also applies to Ginkaku and Kinkaku, who ate whatever was in the Nine
Tails' stomach. Say, they ate (wild guess) 3% of the Nine Tails' total mass
(they were in there for two weeks) did they attain 3% of the Nine Tails' total
chakra amount?

I know my facts aren't spot on, I just wondered if the ratio between the
amount of physical mass of Bijuu "attained", equaled the amount of total Bijuu
chakra energy "attained"?

question
naruto
Is the amount of chakra extracted equal to the size of the part that is cut off from the Bijuu?


I may be wrong on this one, but I think the answer is "no". Let's take a look
at how chakra works in a human body.

Chakra system is much like the circulatory system of a human:

> Contained in the "chakra coils" that mainly surround and connect to each
> chakra-producing organ, the energy circulates throughout the body in a
> network called the "chakra circulatory system" (similar to the
> cardiovascular system). [(1)](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra)

The chakra circulatory system, itself

> is enmeshed into the body and like blood vessels it touches and interacts
> with every single living cell and passes through every
> organ.[(2)](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra_Pathway_System)

Much like with blood vessels, chakra vessels not equally distributed in the
body. There are more of them in some places, and less of them in others, which
means the flow of chakra is more intense in some body parts, and is less
intense in others.

Now, we don't know much about the Tailed Beasts' body structure , but if we
assume that their physical bodies work in a similar way, we can say that the
amount of chakra is also different for their body parts.

Also, obviously, the Tailed Beasts can regenerate their chakra (otherwise
they'd have a limited amount of it), and for some reason I doubt that the cut
part of the tail is capable of regenerating chakra on it's own.
