Someone said that chakra = natural energy + spiritual energy + alien genes.

Is this true?

Also, I thought natural energy must be gathered. Otherwise Naruto could just use sage mode without first gathering that energy
chakra didnt have alien genes. only spiritual energy+physical energy iirc. sage mode= spiriritual+physical+nature energy
 
If they are based in different principles, generally they aren't; although if both powers are extremely vague they may as well be equalized in quality of simply being "some kind of supernatural energy".
 
To quote the SBA
Verse equalization: Similar supernatural aspects of verses get equalized in a reasonable fashion. So a supernatural energy that almost everyone in a Verse has, which is necessary to fight the characters of said Verse, will be assumed to be the equivalent energy that the opponents use in their techniques so that a proper fight can happen.

Furthermore, attacks that require a special type of energy to be effective, like anti-magic requiring magic, will be assumed to work against the energies of different Verses, as long as they are somehow similar and the mechanics are somehow compatible with the known mechanics behind the energies from different Verses. For example, mind control resistance by being a capable mind user would also work against other Verses, but mind control resistance through a strong will would not necessarily work against mind control from other Verses. It is also important to note that characters won't lose or gain any abilities or resistances which they do or do not inherently possess. However, if an ability has a weakness, condition, caveat, or limitation, consistently shown throughout its use (such as not working on characters under a specific condition, like energy gap) or stated by a valid and uncontradicted statement, then it should be applicable after the equalization.

Equalization works highly on a case-by-case basis, so many relevant cases should be discussed in the versus thread itself.
Lets use two systems I'm vaguely aware of: Chakra (Naruto), Ki (Dragon Ball), Magic (DC Comics)

So can Chakra and Ki be equalized? Yes:
  • Both are similar in nature and similar in mechanics (though with some differences)
  • Everyone has it more or less, but you have to have training to use it
  • Its based off of the person's life energy
So can Chakra and Magic (DC) be equalized? No:
  • Magic is no inherit with people, its the left over energy of creation
  • Not everyone can use magic, even with training
  • Its not based on how strong the person is, but their connection and attunement to the magical energy left over from creation
  • The way magic is treated in DC is fundamentally different from how chakra is treated
So if you had Kaguya fight King Piccolo, you could assume she would be able to absorb his Ki attacks since its similar to chakra. If you had Kaguya fight Zatanna and she fired a magical beam, the same assumption could not be said.
