風遁
Fuuton |
Style/Release of Gale

Wind Release (風遁, Fūton, English TV: Wind Style) is one of the five basic elemental nature transformations. Most offensive Wind Release techniques are performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible, however, wind can also be generated as a large, concussive force to overwhelm a target. Wind-based techniques are mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deal cutting and slashing damage. 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 channelled into blades to increase their cutting power and overall range. The wind affinity is seemingly more common amongst shinobi of Sunagakure. Wind Release also specialises in deflecting and even reflecting attacks. Wind Release focuses on projectile type techniques and can even change melee type techniques such as the Rasengan into projectiles when adding wind nature transformation to them.

Only by concentrating one's chakra into a fine edge can Fuuton be created. It uses heightened cutting power on a small scale over a wide range to inflict mass damage or simply a powerful impact. When flowed over a weapon, it has similar cutting power to Raiton, but overpowers it in raw form, while acting as fuel to Katon. This can make it the losing technique in a clash or an enhancing factor in a combination assault. The concussive power of Suiton can also be enhanced via Fuuton, which is found primarily in the Land of Wind's Sunagakure.

水遁
Suiton |
Style/Release of Aqua

Water Release (水遁, Suiton, English TV: Water Style) is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allow the user to manipulate pre-existing water, or create their own, by turning their chakra into water. It takes much more ability to create the water outside the body than to manipulate what is already available or expel it from their mouths. One of the most versatile of the five basic chakra natures, Water Release techniques can not only change shape but state as well. Moreover, the water becomes more solid in the process as well, and certain techniques can even allow the user to increase the water's density or viscosity, making it a suitable element to capture the targets. The water affinity is seemingly more common amongst shinobi of Kirigakure. Offensive water techniques seem to inflict harm from the sudden force that they exert, which would cause massive internal damage to a human.

Perhaps the most versatile of the Basic Elements, Suiton can be manipulated in shape, viscosity, and even density to suit virtually any task. Induced drowning and impact-based attacks are just two of many potential uses. Like controlling Katon, creating Suiton out of nothing is particularly difficult and found only in the strongest of Suiton users. Suiton is strong against Katon via flame extinguishing and weak against Doton due to the latter's propensity for dispersing the force and power of water. Uniquely, Suiton can act as a conductor for Raiton, extending its range and destructive potential. As the shinobi village in the Land of Water, Kirigakure houses most of the world's Suiton using population.

氷遁
Hyouton |
Release of Ice


Ice Release (氷遁, Hyōton, Viz: Ice Style) is a combined nature transformation which is the kekkei genkai of the Yuki clan, as well as a rare kekkei genkai of the Land of Snow shinobi. It allows the user to freely create and manipulate ice by simultaneously combining wind and water-based chakra. When the user releases their chakra, the surrounding vicinity becomes cold enough to cause snow to fall. The ice Haku creates is also extremely resistant to fire-based attacks, only melting slightly when coming into contact with Sasuke's flames. As shown by Haku, as a child, he could also manipulate the form of nearby water. Additionally, any nearby water is an advantage, as the user can simply freeze that water to create ice. Using his special ability, Haku developed the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, which allowed him to create any number of floating mirrors made of ice to use as a shield or trap an opponent.

By combining the Basic Elements Wind and Water, Hyoton encapsulates the coldest force of nature: Ice. By creating water or taking it from a preexisting source, users are able to freeze it and manipulate it as either ice or snow. The Yuki Clan are the masters of this element, and have become truly fierce with their many powerful techniques based on it. While few markings denote a Yuki, the area around them can become extremely cold -even so far as causing localized snowfall- when accessing their Kekkei Genkai. Because of its components, Hyoton is actually neutral to Raiton serving as neither insulator nor enhancer, while resisting the heat of raw flames. Solid Doton techniques are tougher than Ice is, capable of breaking even the sturdiest of Hyoton techniques. Hyoton: =Raiton, Superior to Katon and Scorch while being weak to Doton, Lava, and Koton
