Lava Release



The jutsu are techniques that combine fire and earth-based chakra to create a torrent of lava that can melt away almost anything. Lava Release is used by the Four-Tailed Monkey, its jinchūriki Rōshi, and is one of the kekkei genkai used by the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumī.

Trivia

 * For unknown reasons, the kanji used for "Yō" (meaning to dissolve) have different radicals between Rōshi's and Mei's versions of the Lava Release. Rōshi's is 熔, with the radical for "fire", while Mei's is 溶, with the radical for water. This difference is yet to be explained.
 * In the anime, when Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet in combination with a fire technique, he made the Earth Dragon shoot lava at Orochimaru.
