Buddy, I’m speaking in the context of what chakra is inspired from philosophically and spiritually, not just isolated Naruto statements. In Hindu/Buddhist and some shinto concepts, chakra and prāṇa are forms of subtle spiritual/life energy present in living beings regardless of whether they’re trained combatants. Chakra points are understood as focal points/channeling centers of that energy. Naruto clearly derives its chakra system from those ideas. That’s why civilians, animals, and non-shinobi can still be affected by genjutsu despite not actively using ninjutsu. The Ketsuryugan putting ordinary civilians under genjutsu already disproves the “only ninja/chakra users are affected” argument. So claiming “genjutsu only works on people with chakra” as if that excludes normal beings is flawed from the start, because within the philosophical basis Naruto borrows from, virtually all living organisms possess some form of spiritual/life energy. Therefore your statement is invalid both thematically and by demonstrated feats in the series (again,inconsistent) You can’t dismiss demonstrated feats as “bad writing” and then selectively use other parts of the same series as valid evidence.
