Природное Преобразование

Все пять стихийных природных преобразований используются одновременно

Природное Преобразование (яп. 性質変化, Сэйщицу Хенка, Английское ТВ: "Изменения в Природе Чакры") — продвинутая форма контроля чакры, которая включает в себя формирование и определение своей чакры во врожденном типе природы чакры с изменением её свойств и характеристик для использования в техниках. Природное преобразование является одним из двух необходимых компонентов для создания или модификации техники, вторым компонентом является преобразование формы. В то время как природное преобразование изменяет природу чакры, форма трансформации изменяет истинную форму и её движение, при этом изменяются её способности.

Базовые Природные Преобразования

Пять Элементов Природных Преобразований (яп. 五大性質変化, Годай Сэйщицу Хенка) — основополагающие природы чакры, которые являются основой всех стихийных ниндзюцу. Они оказались настолько важными в повседневной жизни шиноби, что каждая из Пяти Великих Стран Шиноби взяла название одной из пяти стихий. Каждая природа, естественно, слабее одной, но сильнее другой.

• Стихия Огня (яп. 火遁, Катон) сильна против Ветра, но слаба против Воды.
• Стихия Ветра (яп. 風遁, Фуутон) сильна против Молнии, но слаба против Огня.
• Стихия Молнии (яп. 雷遁, Райтон) сильна против Земли, но слаба против Ветра.
• Стихия Земли (яп. 土遁, Дотон) сильна против Воды, но слаба против Молнии.
• Стихия Воды (яп. 水遁, Суйтон) сильна против Огня, но слаба против Земли.

По сути, если стихийная техника ставится против другой стихийной техники того же уровня, но более сильной природы, тогда преобладать будет техника превосходящей природы. Тем не менее техника с более слабой природой может пересилить технику с более сильной природой, если первая имеет более высокий уровень. Например, огонь может пересилить водную технику, если та изначально усилена техникой ветра.

A similar principle applies in how technique of the same element interact, what is called counterbalancing (яп. 相殺, Sōsai). If two techniques of the same nature and the same level are used against each other, they will cancel each other out, as when Lightning Release: False Darkness is deflected with Lightning Cutter. However, if the two techniques have different levels, the higher-level technique will not only prevail but will grow stronger from interaction with the weaker, as when Amaterasu (the highest level Fire Release technique) grew stronger by absorbing an opposing Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

The result of Kakashi's chakra in contact with the special paper: it wrinkles.

In general, every person's chakra has an affinity towards one of the five basic nature transformations. Affinity can at times be genetic, or at least common to a particular family; most members of the Uchiha clan have an affinity towards the Fire nature. One's affinity can be determined using pieces of paper made from a special type of tree that is grown and fed with chakra: when the paper is exposed to even the slightest hint of chakra, it will react according to the chakra's latent nature:

• Fire: the paper will ignite and turn to ash.
• Wind: the paper will split in two.
• Lightning: the paper will wrinkle.
• Earth: the paper will turn to dirt and crumble away.
• Water: the paper will become wet/damp.

Shinobi have an easier time learning to create and control chakra natures that match their affinity, although even then it may take any number of years. Shinobi are not limited to the nature they have an affinity for, and it is in fact common for jōnin to have mastered two natures. Although it is technically possible to master all five natures, it is very rare because of how much of training is involved; Madara Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Mū, Kakashi Hatake, and Orochimaru are the only shinobi known to have done so via normal means. Other methods of acquiring all five natures include:

• Possession of the Rinnegan.
• Usage of Six Paths Senjutsu
• Usage of the Truth-Seeking Balls.
• Using Earth Grudge Fear to gather hearts with other chakra natures.
• In the anime, Fūka got them by stealing others' chakra, though due to the accumulated amounts surpassing one body's limits, she had to divide them in various combinations in multiple bodies.
• In Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, it was stated one who absorbs five kekkei genkai with the Chimera Technique would gain a mastery over all five natures.
• In Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles, Naruto gets the Dragon Blade, which allows him to use all five natures.

Комбинированные Природные Преобразования

Combined nature transformation relationships.

By using two or three basic natures simultaneously, one can create a completely new nature with unique properties that wouldn't exist on its own. However, doing this requires a kekkei genkai or, if three natures are used, a kekkei tōta. In the anime, it is further stated that those with the ability to combine the elemental nature transformations possess an affinity for the chakra natures they must simultaneously use.

In the manga, nine combined nature transformations have been shown:

• Ice Release (яп. 氷遁, Hyōton) is created by simultaneously combining the Water and Wind natures. Infamously used by the Yuki clan, their kekkei genkai.
  • In Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, Yukigakure-nin were able to use a different kind of Ice Release by drawing on already-existing ice, snow, and cold. This was not a kekkei genkai, as Kakashi could copy one of these techniques with his Sharingan.
• Wood Release (яп. 木遁, Mokuton) is created by simultaneously combining the Earth and Water natures. Famed as the kekkei genkai of Hashirama Senju, and thus reproduced in those using his cells.
• Lava Release (яп. 熔遁; 溶遁, Yōton) is created by simultaneously combining the Fire and Earth natures. A characteristic of the Four-Tails and its jinchūriki, and a kekkei genkai used by ninja of Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure. Also used by ninja of Amegakure in the anime and Ishigakure in the novels.
  • It is implied that the two ways of writing this nature (熔遁; 溶遁) are pointing out that they are different in some way. They are switched around and alternated throughout the plot, with Iwa and Kumo characters using the kanji "熔" and the Kiri characters using the kanji "溶". However, the true purpose of this difference is unknown.
• Storm Release (яп. 嵐遁, Ranton) is created by simultaneously combining the Lightning and Water natures. A kekkei genkai used by Darui and many other unnamed Kumogakure ninja.
  • In Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, the ability to use Storm Release is stolen by Hiruko from an unnamed shinobi. This version has significant differences from those used elsewhere in the series.
• Boil Release (яп. 沸遁, Futton) is created by simultaneously combining the Water and Fire natures. A characteristic of the Five-Tails and its jinchūriki, and one of the kekkei genkai used by the Fifth Mizukage.
• Dust Release (яп. 塵遁, Jinton) is created by simultaneously combining the Fire, Earth, and Wind natures. A kekkei tōta used by the Second and Third Tsuchikage.
• Explosion Release (яп. 爆遁, Bakuton) is hinted to be made of the Earth and Lightning natures. A kekkei genkai common to members of Iwagakure's Explosion Corps.
• Scorch Release (яп. 灼遁, Shakuton) is implied to be created by simultaneously combining the Fire and Wind natures. A kekkei genkai only known to be used by Pakura.
• Magnet Release (яп. 磁遁, Jiton) is implied to be created by simultaneously combining the Wind and Earth natures. A characteristic of the One-Tail and its jinchūriki, and one of the kekkei genkai used by ninja of Sunagakure and Kumogakure. In the novels, it is also used by ninja of Ishigakure.

In the anime, novels, and movies, four additional chakra nature transformations have been shown:

• Used in the anime, Crystal Release (яп. 晶遁, Shōton) is suggested to be made of at least the Earth nature. Used by Guren.
• Used in Gaara Hiden and Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Steel Release (яп. 鋼遁, Kōton) is a kekkei genkai used by Metoro Konjiki and stolen by Hiruko.
• Used in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Dark Release (яп. 冥遁, Meiton) is a kekkei genkai stolen by Hiruko.
• Used in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Swift Release (яп. 迅遁, Jinton) is a kekkei genkai stolen by Hiruko.

Инь и Ян

The Yin and Yang chakra of the Nine-Tails.

Aside from the five elemental nature transformations, there is a second set of "natures" that are implied to be the source of all non-elemental techniques such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, Multi-Size Technique, medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, etc. There is Yin Release (яп. 陰遁, Inton) the basis of imagination and spiritual energy, and Yang Release (яп. 陽遁, Yōton), the basis of vitality and physical energy. Together, they are used to perform Yin–Yang Release (яп. 陰陽遁, Onmyōton).

The transformation of the Yin and Yang seemingly has to do with altering the balance between spiritual and physical energy in chakra. As explained by Shikamaru Nara, Tayuya's spirit worms were forms of spiritual energy that have small amounts of physical energy, thus they require stability and feed upon the physical energy they lack. Shikamaru also mentioned that Tayuya was the same type of ninja as he is, being able to use such kinds of "special chakra" in battle, supporting the belief that the Nara clan's shadow-based techniques are also Yin and Yang-based.

Прочее

• The concept of nature transformation parallels the real-life art, Onmyōdō (яп. 陰陽道, lit meaning=The Way of Yin and Yang), which is a mixture of natural sciences and occultism. It largely features Wu Xing and Yin and Yang.
• Techniques such as the Toad Oil Bullet and the Poison Mist mention "converting" or "kneading" chakra into materials or substances, but have never been mentioned to use certain chakra natures.
  • Certain other techniques involved in manipulating substances are also often confused to be chakra natures, such as silk, bone, and ink. However, these substances cannot be produced from chakra alone, meaning the chakra is not changed in nature, and it is rather used to change already-existing substances.
• In Naruto: Shippūden episode 63, Yamato incorrectly says that no known shinobi has ever mastered all five nature transformations.
• In Naruto episode 174, Kunihisa used something he called "Money Release Technique" (яп. 金遁の術, Kinton no Jutsu|engtv=Money Style Jutsu) which was used to simply buy whatever he wanted.
• The Yata Mirror was said to be imbued with all nature transformations to change its own characteristics to deflect any attack. Whether this means it contains combination nature transformations is unknown.
