The basic natures need to be there. Refer to Kakashi and Yamato when they were explaining Wood Release to Naruto. There quite isn't a wood natured chakra. Wood Release is earth and water used together and blended. They're still earth and water, but mixed in a way that creates wood. What we add in the nature field in infoboxes is to indicate that those can be used together and blended in the way that creates a new Release. Naruto may have used a Lava Release technique, but that technique, by the explanation provided to us, is earth chakra and fire chakra mixed together. That is lava chakra. Are we going to remove earth and water from Danzo since he didn't use any of those elements? I don't think so.
