Does the Databook say anything about whether or not Mabui is still alive? (just hoping)

Gaara's dad has Water too but Water + Wind = Ice, Water + Earth = Wood. Unless it's Earth + Yin or Wind + Yin (it's improbable), Wind + Earth = Magnet. Well remember Mei's Boil Release and Lava Release are counted as two separate kekkei genkai, so it isn't that the bloodline limit allows you to mix elements, the bloodline limit enables specific elements to be mixed.

That's it. My disbelief isn't even suspended anymore. It's been knocked right out of f***ing orbit. Not everyone who has Yin and Yang Release (Inton and Yoton) can use Yin-Yang Release (Onmyoton). Just as not everyone who has Wind Release and Water Release can use Ice Release. Apparently the Yang Release that allows the Akimichi to turn into giants and allows Konan to turn into paper, and the Yin release that grants Gengetsu Hozuki his genjutsu and the Nara's their shadows are all just fragments of what Hagoromo was able to do.
