Water Release

The techniques are water-based Ninjutsu. The water element has very compatible and diverse "Form Modification". Whether it is in the form of a fog for masking your form or to trap someone in a tsunami, its auxiliary capability is very high. Water Release attacks can take the form of mostly walls of water or water in the shape of sea creatures. Water Release techniques are the second common element used, and mainly used by shinobi from the Land of Water.

To use Water Release techniques, it is necessary for the user to perform them near a large mass of water (for example near a lake or river). Although there are exceptions such as Akatsuki's member, Kisame Hoshigaki (who creates a mass of water on his own because of his incredibly high chakra levels) and Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage.

Water-based techniques are weak against Earth techniques, but strong against Fire techniques.
