Wind Release

The area of elemental Nature Transformation are offensive type techniques that allow the user to manipulate wind by "sharpening" their chakra. This is achieved by manipulating and increasing the shapeness of their wind-natured chakra, making it as sharp and as thin as possible; splitting their chakra into two and then grind them together, not unlike the blades of a pair of scissors.

The rarest one out of the five basic elemental natured chakra affinities, (though the affinity appears to be common among ninja of Sunagakure,) Wind Release techniques are short-to-mid-range that combine brute force and precision to deal cutting and slashing damage and can even channel wind-natured chakra into blades to increase their range and cutting power. Wind Release manipulation is achieved by learning how to split a leaf in two with chakra then halting the flow of water.

Wind Release is naturally strong against lightning, but likewise, Wind Release is also naturally weak against fire. In the case of a combination, it augments the strength of a Fire Release technique as well as increases the concussive power of a Water Release technique.

In the case of a fusion, wind-natured chakra when mixed with water-natured chakra produces Ice Release.
