Water Release

Overview
Water Release is one of the five basic nature releases and is commonly used in Uringakure. Water Release jutsu are most easily performed using existing water sources, such as lakes or rivers. Users can also create water within their bodies with chakra, which they expel from their mouths, though this is generally regarded as a testament of skill; Kenji Nara's ability to produce his own water is noted to be proof of his position as a Sannin. Water Release is typically used offensively, doing battering damage because of the sheer volume of water or slicing damage because of the water's high pressure. Water Release can be used to trap targets, such as imprisoning them with dense water or ensnaring them with sticky water. Defensively, Water Formation Wall is a common option, with users surrounding themselves with water to be protected from harm. Alternatively, users can hide themselves from opponents with thick mist to obscure vision or water droplets to render the user invisible.

Water Release is naturally strong against Fire Release and weak against Earth Release. If Water Release is used with Wind Release, as with the Typhoon Water Vortex Technique, the wind churns the water, increasing its damage and coverage area. If Water Release is used with Lightning Release, the water can increase the range of the lightning, or the lightning can give the water a numbing quality. When Water Release is combined with other natures, certain kekkei genkai are produced.
