Water Release

Water Release is one of the five basic nature transformations.

Overview
Water Release jutsus are commonly used by drawing water from an existing water source, like rivers or lakes. Even if it is possible to convert chakra into water to expel it through the mouth, it takes great amounts of skill and chakra to do it. Water Release is used mostly in a offensive manner since it is possible to attack an opponent using sheer volumes of water, slicing damage due to high water pressure, and trap opponents by creating dense or sticky water.

This nature transformation can be used defensively as well by creating dense water to make walls or by creating thick mist to blind opponents. Water Release is commonly used by residents of Land of Water, more specifically ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village.

Water Release is strong against Fire Release and weak against Earth Release. Water can be used along with wind, increasing the speed and coverage of the water, if lightning is used with water, it increases the range of the lightning. When Water Release is combined with other natures, certain kekkei genkai in form of Combined Nature Transformations are produced: water and earth release creates Clay Release; water and fire release creates Boil Release; water and lightning release creates Storm Release; water and wind release creates Ice Release.

If Water Release is combined with two other natures, certain kekkei tōta in form of Triple Nature Transformations are produced: water, earth and yang release creates Wood Release; water, wind and yang release creates Nitrogen Release.
