NATURE TRANSFORMATION/Seishitsu Henka;Change in Chakra Nature - is an advanced form of chakra control. It entails the moulding and defining of ones chakra into an innate type of chakra nature, altering its properties and characteristics. Nature transformation is one of two necessary techniques for creating a technique, its counterpart being shape transformation. Few shinobi can use both shape manipulation and nature manipulation. BASIC TYPES There are five basic types into which the nature of chakra can be transformed, called the Five Elements Nature Transformations (Godai Seishitsu Henka). These five types are also called elements and are not only the origin of the names of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, but also the foundation of all elemental ninjutsu. The five basic natures are all connected to each other in a circle, each being weaker than one and stronger than another. These elements allow for elemental ninjutsu to be performed: *FIRE ( Hi) natured chakra allows for Fire Release (火遁, Katon), which is strong against Wind but weak against Water. *WIND (Kaze) natured chakra allows for Wind Release (風遁, Fūton), which is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire. *LIGHTNING (Kaminari) natured chakra allows for Lightning Release (雷遁, Raiton), which is strong against Earth but weak against Wind. *EARTH ( Tsuchi) natured chakra allows for Earth Release (土遁, Doton), which is strong against Water but weak against Lightning. *WATER (Mizu) natured chakra allows for Water Release (水遁, Suiton), which is strong against Fire but weak against Earth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED TYPE: Besides the five basic nature types, there are several more advanced types. By initiating more than one basic chakra nature transformation simultaneously, one can create a completely new nature of chakra with unique properties, and is referred to as an elementally-recomposed nature type. Doing this requires a special ability and such abilities are rarely seen outside a kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta. In the anime, it is stated that those with the ability to utilise advanced natures possess an affinity for the chakra natures they must simultaneously activate. In the manga, ten advanced natures have been shown: The ICE (Kōri) nature, used by Haku and the Yuki clan, is created by simultaneously combining the Water and Wind natures. This nature allows for the use of Ice Release (氷遁, Hyōton) ninjutsu. Used through a kekkei genkai. 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. This is likely a mistake, as the kekkei genkai of the Yuki clan had not been referred to as Ice Release yet at that time, and also the details of nature transformation hadnt been revealed yet, allowing the creators of Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow to invent this new nature. Also, while Hakus ice techniques had unusual effects, this type of Ice Release focuses on more obvious effects of ice, such as freezing. The WOOD (Ki) nature, used by Hashirama Senju, Yamato, Danzō Shimura, Madara Uchiha, Zetsu, and Obito Uchiha, is created by simultaneously combining the Earth and Water natures. This nature allows for the use of Wood Release (木遁, Mokuton) ninjutsu. Used through a kekkei genkai. The LAVA (Yōgan) nature, used by Son Gokū and its jinchūriki Rōshi, as well as Mei Terumī, Kurotsuchi and Dodai, is created by simultaneously combining the Fire and Earth natures. This nature allows for the use of Lava Release (熔遁; 溶遁, Yōton). The Four-Tails and Rōshi used it through a Tailed Beast Skill, while Mei, Kurotsuchi and Dodai used it through a kekkei genkai. 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 Iwagakure and Kumogakure characters using the kanji 熔 and the Kirigakure character using the kanji 溶. However, the true purpose of this difference is unknown. The BLAZE (Honō) nature, used by Sasuke Uchiha, originates from the flames of Amaterasu and allows the use of Blaze Release (炎遁, Enton) ninjutsu. It is unknown what this nature entails. The STORM ( Arashi) nature, used by Darui and stolen by Hiruko from an unknown shinobi, is created by simultaneously combining the Lightning and Water natures. This nature allows for the use of Storm Release (嵐遁, Ranton) ninjutsu. Used through a kekkei genkai. It is likely that the two users were using a different type of this release, as Hiruko is a character only seen in Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, and Darui hadnt been introduced at that time. There is also a significant difference between the techniques of this nature they use. The BOIL ( Futtō) nature, used by Mei Terumī, is created by simultaneously combining the Water and Fire natures. This nature allows for the use of Boil Release (沸遁, Futton) ninjutsu. Used through a kekkei genkai. The DUST (Chiri) nature, used by Ōnoki and Mū, is created by simultaneously combining the Fire, Earth and Wind natures. This nature allows for the use of Dust Release (塵遁, Jinton) ninjutsu. Used through a kekkei tōta. The EXPLOSION( Bakuhatsu) nature, used by Gari and Deidara, allows for the use of Explosion Release (爆遁, Bakuton) ninjutsu. It is unknown what this nature entails. Used through a kekkei genkai. The Scorching Heat (灼熱, Shakunetsu) nature, used by Pakura, allows for the use of Scorch Release (灼遁, Shakuton) ninjutsu. It is hinted to be created by simultaneously combining the Fire and Wind natures. Used through a kekkei genkai. The MAGNETISM (Jiryoku) nature, used by Toroi, the Third and Fourth Kazekage, allows for the use of Magnet Release (磁遁, Jiton) ninjutsu. It is unknown what this nature entails. Used through a kekkei genkai. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-Canon Advanced Types In the anime and movies, four additional advanced natures have been shown: The CRYSTAL ( Kesshō) nature, used by Guren, is possibly created by simultaneously combining the Earth nature and another unspecified nature. This nature allows for the use of Crystal Release (晶遁, Shōton) ninjutsu.(Anime-only) The DARK (Meian) nature, stolen by Hiruko, allows the use of Dark Release (冥遁, Meiton) ninjutsu.
