Doesn't that mean that it is possible? It's not exactly the same thing, but yea same principle. He kicks the air, the displacement of air causes the thrust (unlike Chakra displacing air/water).

In case you missed the post: after some calculations i changed my stance to yes, it's possible. Difficult to control, but possible.

TheOneWhoLovesNaruto wrote: If it was storming and pouring rain, do you really think that they could jump from raindrop to raindrop and "fly"? I don't believe so. Vapor or mist is even smaller than that. Basic physics suggests that you would have to kick a raindrop with a force equal to the force of gravity on your body. So unless you actually kicked a raindrop at the speed of sound or something, you couldn't do this.

I believe Onoki flies simply because he reduces the pull of gravity, the same technique he used on the giant turtle. It would be like a helium balloon analogy, whereas walking on water and air is more like a jetpack analogy.
