Crystal Release

The is a specialized field of Ninjutsu that can create crystal, as well as manipulate already-existing Crystals and crystalline structures. It is seen only in the anime, and its only known user is a woman called Guren. This element appears to regularly use the Ram hand seal.

According to rumors that Tsunade had heard, Crystal Release can crystallize any substance. Using Crystal Ninjutsu, the user can crystallize any physical material and even the moisture that is present in the air around them, turning them into a weapon. In the case of human targets, Crystal Release can solidify its targets down to the cellular level, imprisoning and even killing the victim should the crystal ever be struck, reducing the mass of crystal and the victim down to crystalline dust.

Crystal jutsu is strong against earth and Water jutsu as earth and water are physical masses that can be crystallized and then turned against the crystal user's opponent. The only apparent weakness of the Crystal Release is that it cannot crystallize either raw energy or chakra as they have no physical mass to crystallize, allowing a person with either energy-based jutsu, such wind, fire and lightning Ninjutsu) or good chakra control to properly counter it.
