Crystal Release's Natures
Crystal Release isn't on there and since we have speculated on some of these why can't we just put it under Earth and Wind? after all thats the only possible combination left. (Evilpuppy (talk) 06:22, April 13, 2013 (UTC))

Its being left out due to the fact that it is a anime only nature. And it makes no since anyway for it to be Earth + Wind.Umishiru (talk) 08:37, April 13, 2013 (UTC)

You're right, it does make no since. It does make sense though. What's the problem with it being anime only? If some nature that is shown to be earth and wind that is NOT crystal shows up in manga, you can easily edit it later. Also what evilpuppy mentioned: we know earth/fire, earth/water, and earth/lightning already. The only other kekkei genkai that it could be is earth/wind, and we know it's not a kekkei tōta. Not to mention that is still the only two-element combination with no associated element. As for the reasoning behind the choice in elements, wind can erode and compress earth, shaping it into crystal. It's not any more of a stretch than some of the other combinations listed.--Raptor39 (talk) 10:21, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

Advanced natures are not just mixing two Natures together
Example Blaze, which comes from a fire based KKG jutsu, but doesn't have any mixed natures together. But is an unatural one, so it is an Advanced nature.

This should be at least mentioned, that it's either mixed natures or an unique/unnatural one not a basic nature. Biozim98 (talk) 19:11, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Episode 63 + Hiruzen info
"In the anime during episode 63, Yamato told Naruto that no known shinobi has ever mastered all five basic elements."

This is incorrect, I just checked the episode and Yamato ALSO said "at least, none that I know of".

That detail is important as with the way the wiki is now it makes it look like Yamato stated an established fact, whereas the actual translation suggests that Yamato made that comment based on his knowledge (which isn't necessarily knowledge on the *entire* shinobi world).

Also Yamato never mentioned anything about MASTERING all five elements, he only mentioned being able to USE all five elements. So at this juncture we can't say that we know that Hiruzen mastered all the elements.

Remember Kakashi wasn't shocked that Kakuzu could use all five elements, he was shocked to the standard Kakuzu could use them. THAT is mastery and couple that with Jiraiya's comment (Jiraiya who knows Hiruzen) and it tells us that no-one has mastered all the elements except someone with the Rinnegan.

I believe the entry is blurring the line between possessing all the elements and mastering them all.

 * Several things. Firstly, in the manga Kakuzu only used 4 elements; he only used Water Release in the anime. The reason one would be shocked to even see a shinobi know so many elemental techniques is because of how long it takes most shinobi to learn how to use an element, much less master it. And remember, mastery comes with practice, so Jiraiya's comment is best interpreted (given Ibiki's later comment) that it allows its possessor to learn all sorts of ninjutsu ith more ease than otherwise.

 * Not 100% sure, but I think that Yamato part in episode 63 might have been anime-only, sort of to lay a foundation for that kunoichi in Part 2's first filler arc. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:37, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

Yin Release, Yang Release, Yin-Yang Release
The question stands, are they even nature transformations? The canon has made it clear on multiple occasions that there are only 5 basic nature transformations, them being: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water. We've been also told about advanced natures, which are 2 or more chakra natures merged together and that they require Kekkei Genkai which allows the user to do so.

Since Yin, Yang, Yin-Yang aren't basic natures and nor are they advanced natures, because apparently, all ninjutsu that isn't elemental uses either, that means everyone can use them (with the possible exception of yin-yang release), so doesn't that mean that they aren't nature transformations at all? Originally YYR was hinted to be "the sixth nature" but that got retconned, so should we even list them in the infoboxes and mention in this page? It is suggested that even techniques such as Clone Technique, Transformation Technique and so on are Yin or Yang, so they seem to be pretty much a general skill--Elveonora (talk) 09:52, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * You should know the correct way to handle unexplained things by now. • Seelentau 愛議 09:56, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Did Yamato/Kakashi actually say that they are nature transformations? Or does that come from a databook?--Elveonora (talk) 15:24, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yamato called them natures, yes. • Seelentau 愛議 15:50, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Be basically went through the five basic natures, then brought up Yin and Yang only to hold off on explaining them because they were less important at the time.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 16:03, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * You are right, I re-read the chapter and Kakashi said that they are nature transformations. Damn...--Elveonora (talk) 17:34, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
