Wind Release

Wind Release is one of the five basic nature transformations.

Overview
Wind Release is the rarest of the five nature transformations, but those who can use it well can cut through almost anything. This nature transformation is commonly used by channeling it on sharp weapons, but it can also be used by converting chakra into wind to expel it through the mouth or hands. It is a 99% offensive element, being almost impossible to use it in a defensive manner.

This nature transformation can be further powered up by compressing and layering wind streams together, making it possible to cut through the hardest objects. Wind Release is commonly used by residents of Land of Wind, more specifically ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village.

Wind Release is strong against Lightning Release and weak against Fire Release. Wind's weakness makes if useful to, when used together with fire jutsus, increase their power, if wind is used with Water Release it increases the speed and coverage of the water. When Wind Release is combined with other natures, certain kekkei genkai in form of Combined Nature Transformations are produced: wind and earth creates Magnet Release; wind and fire creates Scorch Release; wind and lightning creates Swift Release; wind and water creates Ice Release.

If Wind Release is combined with two other natures, certain kekkei tōta in form of Triple Nature Transformations are produced: wind, earth and lightning release creates Crystal Release; wind, earth and fire creates Dust Release; wind, fire and lightning creates Light Release; wind, water and yang release creates Nitrogen Release.
