Category:Water Release

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.The water affinity is seemingly more common amongst shinobi of Kirigakure. The offensive water techniques commonly appear to do damage from the sudden force that they exert, which would cause massive internal damage to a human.

Relationship with other Natures

 * Water is strong against fire because it naturally extinguishes the flames (though a sufficiently powerful fire technique can cause evaporation) but is weak against earth because earth structures can dissipate the force of water rendering the technique less effective.
 * Water Release can be used in conjunction with Lightning Release to increase the flow of electricity thus increasing damage taken by the target.
 * Additionally, it can be used with Wind Release to increase the concussive and overall destructive power of a water technique.
 * Water-natured chakra is a component of the kekkei genkai: Ice Release, Wood Release, Storm Release, and Boil Release.
