"Chakra is the source of energy used by every Shinobi in the great series of Naruto. In fact, there are two energy sources used by them; Stamina, which could also be called physical energy, and Chakra, which could be called mental energy. As a result, each ninja style uses a different energy source; Taijutsu uses pure stamina, while Ninjutsu and Genjutsu use Chakra."

Yet the picture below also mentions spiritual energy...so now I'm just befuddled and you could probably convince everyone else who's not as stubborn as I that what you say is the unequivocal truth.
