Yang Release

is a nature transformation that exists outside the five basic elemental natures. Like its counterpart, Yin Release, Yang Release is little-explored in the series. Yang Release uses physical energy to control vitality, granting life to forms that have none. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki combined Yin and Yang into Yin–Yang Release, notably allowing him to create the nine tailed beasts.

Yang Release has tended to be inherited among the Senju clan and Uzumaki Clan, descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki. The Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan are shown to have strong chakra and life force through this. Certain other clans employ Yang Release via their hiden skills, notably the Akimichi clan, who use Yang Release to increase the size of their own bodies.

There have been occasional miscellaneous mentions of Yang Release: Minato Namikaze split the Nine-Tails' Yin and Yang chakra, sealing its Yang half within Naruto Uzumaki to make him its jinchūriki; when Naruto uses the Nine-Tails' chakra via his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, any wood constructs that he is near or that he touches grow into trees; Hagoromo's spirit gives his Six Paths Yang Power to Naruto, which takes the form of a sun marking on his right palm.
