<p>well the elemental natures of chakra are not the real deal, a shinobi shooting out a giant fireball isn't shooting out a real fire its simply chakra that has the properties and appearance of fire </p>

Where is it stated Chakra natures aren't their true elements?

<p>The superheated chakra thing kinda imply that. Maybe. I'm not gonna re-read bunch of chapter/databook to confirm that </p>

<p>The articles here do seem to largely imply that it's chakra that takes on the properties of the element, of course many earth and water techniques seem to rely on the actual elements, and things like Kirin out and out state the use of the actual element. </p>

Techniques are named "Release". I thought it was always implied that the Chakra itself is releasing the elemental potential within itself.

<p>Isn't it obvious? Since a fireball can be absorbed by a chakra absorption technique, that means the fireball is still chakra, just with fire-like properties, but not actual fire. </p>

<p>Chakra transformed into fire is still the element fire. I believe the name "Nature Transformation" should be taken literally. Igniting Chakra creates Fire, Thinning it creates Wind, Ionizing it creates Lightning ect. They're elements comprised of Chakra but are said elements. </p>

<p>well i remember somewhere in the manga/anime that natural elements such as Lightning, was much more powerful. Techniques that use a pre-existing natural, non chakra initiated, element made the techniques much stronger. </p><p>i could be wrong though </p>

<p>They're not necessarily more powerful. But they're easier to make more powerful, because less of your chakra is being used up in Nature Transformation to create material to use and all of it is being used at directing already existing material/power. </p><p>For example, Kirin uses natural lightning and is exceedingly powerful. Indra's arrow is composed entirely of chakra and is more powerful. </p><p>The difference is in how much chakra is used. Kirin uses almost no chakra while Indra's arrow almost depletes 4th War Sasuke when he was amped with Tailed Beast chakra. </p>
