Wind Release

is one of the five basic elemental nature transformations. It is performed by manipulating chakra to be as sharp and thin as possible. Wind Release uses short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deal cutting and slashing damage.

Although common to shinobi of Sunagakure, wind is a rarity among the five chakra natures. Wind techniques are usually performed by generating air circulation and can be enhanced through this method as well. Wind-natured chakra can also be channeled into blades to increase their cutting power and overall range. Wind is strong against lightning due its capacity as a natural electrical insulator. It is likewise weak against fire as the latter is fuelled by air.
