no, that is wrong
it takes 30% to do the jutsu, but the amount of chakra given to the clones "isn't that significant"....meaning it is a lot under 30%
What? No, the clone just has 30% of the chakra and uses it. The only sort of labor it takes to cast a jutsu like that would be just a little chakra focus. The body's ready for use, They're just putting 30% of themselves into it.
By "isn't that significant", kisame doesn't mean it in comparison to the 30% given. He just meant that although it's an exact copy of their abilities, the amount of chakra passed onto the clone is a small amount (i.e. 30%).
Notice when he said, "Well, the chakra we gave to the sacrifice was about 30%, wasn't it..."
