Wind Release

The area of elemental Nature Transformation are offensive-type techniques that allow the user to manipulate wind by shaping their chakra to be as sharp and as thin as possible, very much like the blades of a pair of scissors.

The rarest of the five basic elemental chakra natures (though the affinity appears to be common among ninja of Sunagakure), Wind Release techniques are suited for all ranges of combat, and combine brute force and precision to deal cutting and slashing damage. Users 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 and then learning to halt the flow of water.

Wind Release is naturally strong against Lightning Release techniques, and likewise naturally weak against Fire Release techniques. 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. Wind-natured chakra, when combined with water-natured chakra, produces the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.
