Wind Release

Wind Release is one of the five basic natures and is most common in Tenohiragakure. Wind Release is the rarest of the five nature transformations, but those who can use it are able to cut through anything. Some shinobi use it by channeling wind chakra into Chakra Blades, making the blades far sharper and giving them greater reach. Wind Release can also be exhaled from the user's mouth, such as to blow away everything in the area, or generated with the user's hands, allowing precision strikes. Although Wind Release has naturally good range and power, it can be further enhanced by compressing it or layering different wind streams together.

Wind Release is naturally strong against Lightning Release and weak against Fire Release. Wind's weakness to fire makes it an effective way to, when used collaboratively, make flames more powerful. If Wind Release is used with Water Release, as with the Typhoon Water Vortex Technique, the wind churns the water, increasing its damage and coverage area. When Wind Release is combined with other natures, certain kekkei genkai are produced.
