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, wind techniques are suited for short-to-mid-range combatants, and combine brute force and precision to deal cutting and slashing damage. Despite its rarity, Wind Release is common to shinobi of Sunagakure, which may be related to its small population.

Wind-based techniques are typically performed by causing/generating movement in the air, such as the user blowing air from their mouth or creating air currents with objects. Users can even channel wind-natured chakra into blades to increase their range and cutting power. Wind-based techniques can also be made stronger if the user can generate a force of suction behind their target (Such as a Baku). Naruto achieved wind manipulation by learning how to split a leaf in two with chakra and then learning to halt the flow of water. Wind is naturally strong against lightning techniques due to air being a strong electrical insulator, and likewise naturally weak against fire techniques due to fire's ability to consume and grow when exposed to air. In the case of a combination, it augments the strength of a fire technique as well as increases the concussive power of a water technique. Wind-natured chakra, when combined with water-natured chakra, produces the Ice Release. By combining it with earth and fire-natured chakra, the Dust Release is created.

Danzō Shimura also utilized a series of vacuum-based Wind Release techniques, involving inhaling air around him and then exhaling it as a technique, using his chakra.
