So now you're saying that the Earth Release sign doesn't mean that Earth Release was involved, even though Sasuke countered that exact Earth Release? o.ö I mean, Wood Release is partly Earth Release as well, hence why the Earth Release sign is used. Same for Explosion Release. You still need to mix Earth and Lightning/Water to produce Explosion/Wood Release.
