It's wind btw. I forgot to add it in the title. >_> Now, let's start with the very basics. Please, in your own words, tell me what do you know about a ninja, chakra, ninjutsu and elements.Thank you for taking the time to train me. Genkai stands patiently as she awaits the lesson ahead.
Alright. You said everything very well, nothing to add. Now, the training method I'd like to use organizes jutsus by similarity which makes the training easier, because once you understand the method it's not hard to understand the whole group of jutsus. However, even after completing the basic method training, I will explain every technique in detail and make sure you understands it's uses as well as advantages and disadvantages. Do you agree to this type of training and do you have any questions?Genkai draws from her limited experience to answer the question.
Ninja also known as shinobi are warriors that share an alliance with a single village and/or clan. An exception to this is are rouge ninja which normally carry no alliances. In a village system a ninja is tasked with performing missions. These missions when completed bring the village money and status. Their are a variety of mission types that are ranked in difficulty from D-S rank. The missions are distributed to ninja based on their classification in the village system (Genin,Chūnin,...etc). Mission goals are vast and can vary from simple tasks like catching a cat to being bodyguards, stealing from other ninja, and assassination missions. Ninja are distinguished from other warriors by their fighting abilities. In particular ninja fight by performing jutsu through the manipulation of chakra. This is different that other warrior classes such as samurai who rely mainly on their swords. Samurai can manipulate chakra but don't perform jutsu.
Chakra is a composition of energy. It is composed of physical, spiritual, and natural energy. All living beings have chakra that is composed of physical and spiritual energies. Physical energy is drawn from every cell in a persons body. Spiritual energy is drawn from a persons consciousness and controls the imagination. Both energies can be increased and honed through training. When natural energy is incorporated with a persons physical and spiritual energy Senjutsu chakra is formed. Chakra flows in a network throughout a persons body. In this network their are points that act as gateways for chakra release. By building up enough chakra in their body a person can release it through these chakra points. When this is done the chakra is on the outside of the body and can be harnessed for jutsu. The jutsu performed will depend on many factors some of which include the amount and type of chakra exerted and the shape manipulation of the chakra. When using chakra control is very important. Chakra control is needed to precisely mix and balance the energy needed for a jutsu. Bad chakra control leads to quick exhausting of energy and often times incomplete jutsu. Handsigns are used by ninja to gain better control of chakra for jutsu.
Ninjutsu are jutsu that are used to change the physical world. These abilities most of the time rely of chakra as a power source and vary greatly in type. Some ninjutsu abilities to name a few are nature transformations (converting normal chakra to elemental chakra), healing, space time travel, and the creation of shadow clones. Most ninjutsu with the exception of nature transformations are associated with specific clans.
Elements are used to define that which makes up nature. The 5 main elements are water, fire, earth, lightning, and wind. By using chakra a person has the ability to manipulate the elements. This is done by manipulating a persons normal chakra into elemental chakra. This process is known as nature transformation. Techniques that use elemental chakra are know as classified as elemental releases.
Suiton (Water Release) is the use of chakra to control water. Suiton techniques require the least amount of chakra control among the elements. This is due to waters free flowing nature. Suiton can be used to cause wide scale destruction through floods, bind enemies (water prison techniques), and liquefy body parts among many other things. Suiton is weak to Doton (Earth Release) techniques as due to it's inability to pass through earth. It is strong against Katon (Fire Release) as fire can be easily put out with water.
Katon is the release of heated chakra from the lungs to create flames. As far as chakra natures are concerned it is the least versatile in it's techniques. It is most suitable for destruction. Katon is weak against Fūton (Wind Release). Wind only enhances Katon techniques. As described above it is weak against Suiton.
Doton is the use of chakra to manipulate the earth. Doton is very versatile in its techniques. It can be used to create shields that are as hard as rock or deadly projectiles. It can also be used for concealment and transportation. All of this is done by changing the earths form into a desired state such as dirt, rock, or mud. Doton has the ability to block water. As stated above this makes Doton advantageous against Suiton. Doton is weak against Raiton (Lighting). This is because Ration techniques can easily break the earth apart.
Raiton channels lighting when a person vibrates their chakra with high frequency. This element requires the most chakra control to use. This is due to the quick and precise nature of lighting. Like many of the other releases it is suitable for destruction but can also be used for paralysis. Raiton is weak against Fūton since wind is a natural insulator of lighting. It is strong against Doton as described above.
Fūton uses wind chakra to control the wind. Chakra is converted into wind chakra by making as thin and sharp as possible. With Fūton one can control the speed and force of the wind. This can be used to push people by brute force or to block oncoming attacks. Fūton techniques can also be used to cut people with precision. The strength and weakness of Fūton has been described above.
All ninja have a natural affinity towards one element. This affinity make the manipulation of normal chakra to elemental chakra easier and with training second nature. Elements can be used in conjunction with each other to create differnt jutsu forms. For example Doton is the base for many powerful ninjutsu forms such as Yōton, Bakuton, and Mokuton.
Good then. Hold this chakra paper and gather some chakra. Use nature transformation in order to turn it into wind chakra and channel it into your hands. If you're successful, the chakra paper should split as you hold it between your palms.Yes, I agree with this training method. I'm curious to see how it works.
Ok, let's see it. Add a few more words. Make the shred a piece of art.Genkai takes hold of the paper between her hands. She then starts to build up chakra inside her body. In her mind
she conceptualizes 2 surfaces shearing the chakra on both sides. Focusing on the mental image the chakra becomes thin and sharp. When the chakra is as thin as Genkai thinks it can be she releases it through chakra points in her hands. The paper rips 3/4 of the way through.
Genkai stares at her sensei and says, "I'll get it to completely rip next time".
Oh, that's just beautiful. Now, can you shield yourself? Immediately as I say this I throw a kunai at you.Very well sensei.
Genkai takes note of her mistake of not building up enough wind chakra. Genkai takes a new sheet of paper between her palms. She builds up the chakra in her body as before. As she builds up the chakra she imagines 2 surfaces shearing against her chakra; like sharpening a sword. The chakra becomes sharper and thinner. Genkai builds up the chakra slightly longer than last time and releases it through chakra points in her hands. The paper fully rips apart. She holds up the two shreds of paper for her sensei to see.
You want art just watch.
Genkai takes the 2 shreds of paper and meticulously works them between her fingers. She then infuses the paper with her natural chakra color and grabs a few leaves.
Here you go sensei.

Ok, I see you can manipulate wind chakra now. What you just did was create a gust of wind, or also called a tangible blast. Now what do you think are the main problems with this method? Also what might be the advantages?Genkai sees the kunai coming towards her. She could defend against it in a variety of different ways but decides to test out her manipulation of the wind. She focuses and builds up chakra in her body. Imagining shearing surfaces in her mind the chakra becomes sharp and thin and is converted to wind chakra. When the chakra builds to its peak she releases it through multiple chakra points. The chakra seeps into the wind surrounding her. The kunai get mid-range between Genkai and the sensei, and Genkai lifts her right arm and swings it forward across her body in one fluid motion. This motion causes the wind surrounding Genkai to move forward and sweep downwards from right to left (through Genkai's eyes). The wind meets the kunai head on and diverts it's travel path to the right (Again through Genkai's eyes) and downwards into the ground. The gust of wind is short but Genkai manages to defend herself.
The feeling of being one with the wind is quite exhilarating sensei.
Yes, it's good. You did mention some of the important pros and cons, however, I have a bit more about that topic.I think the main problems with gusts of wind lies in it's duration and it's interaction with what it approaches. Wind is a style that is used in short-mid distance combat. Any weapon that has a paper or other tag would be activated by the wind. This would cause an explosion or other effect and the user of the wind jutsu could get caught in it. This would not be a good technique for defending against a fire jutsu. It would only strengthen the fire and the wind would have to be considerably stronger than the flame to put it out. Wind can only be controlled for a short time and as such it is not suitable to defend against all techniques. An example of this would be trying to defend against a tidal wave with a gust of wind. Chances are that a person can't generate the volume of wind needed and sustain it long enough to disperse the wave.
The main advantages of this approach also lies in interactions. This means that a gust of wind can't be broken or ripped apart like a physical object. A gust of wind would be well suited for blocking a lightning attack. The wind would conduct the lightning effectively cancelling the technique. A gust of wind can easily stop or divert most weapons since they are considerably smaller in size.
I did my best to describe situations where gusts of wind should and shouldn't be used. Perhaps you can elaborate more sensei.
Yes, correct. Those are the examples of the method. Now let's start with the techniques.I see I think I understand. So the jutsu Wind Release: Great breakthrough would be an example of a large gust.

An example of a blunt force blast would be Danzo's Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere.

Magnificent analysis.As you said this is a good technique for creating a temporary decoy or to blind the opponent. If pulled off successfully if could be usual against sight kekkai genkai. To defend against I would most likely use an earth jutsu to produce a wall in front of me or a dome that surrounds me to shield against the sand. I could also use a higher rank wind jutsu that produces a more powerful gust to reverse the direction of the sand and blow it back at my opponent. If I used a fire jutsu to defend I would create a large scale fire that surrounds me and burns the sand upon contact.(Fūton: Fūsajin no Jutsu) - Wind Release: Dust Wind Technique
Type: Defence
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user creates a gust of wind that layers an area in loose sand and dust. Doing so also acts as a sandblaster on the surrounding area. This layer of sand that accumulates on the trees during this technique makes it difficult for others to get a good footing. The initial gust can also temporarily blind opponents by lodging sand in their eyes
The jutsu is great for escaping jutsu you have no other defense against. I actually see this used a lot in the battle tests. You can't defend against it since it's an escape technique. However, this jutsu leaves the opponent open for attack since they are floating in the air. I could simply perform another jutsu and use it while their in the air or I could go to where they would land and manipulate the earth to form spikes or I could use a large scale jutsu (such as fire) they couldn't escape from.(Fūton: Kaze Ogawa no Jutsu) - Wind Release: Wind Stream Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.
Unlike other wind techniques if a person tries to counter this with another element they could set of paper bombs or other objects attached to the weapons. Since the gale/weapons are coming fast and the distance is short I think quick jutsu are the best defense. The jutsu should also be sturdy enough to take impact from blasts. I think earth jutsu are best situated to defend against this. I would perform an earth jutsu with minimal hand signs to block this attack. If I'm in the air then I would use a wind jutsu to change direction or intercept the blast. Intercepting the blast with a wind jutsu would be a last resort as I could get caught in the blast if the weapons go off.(Fūton: Reppūshō) - Wind Release: Gale Palm
Rank: C
Type:Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: A simple technique that when the users hands are clapped together, wind is compressed and transformed into a powerful gale. This technique, when used as an isolated attack has the power to easily knock over a human. Though the true value comes from using it together with projectile weapons like shuriken or kunai. Their speed, power, and ability to wound or even kill are all increased several times.
As you said this is a good technique for defense. Since the sphere will travel away from your body it can be used to intercept weapons. For offense I would first blow the sphere of air at my target and before it hits use a fire jutsu to enhance its power. For defense I think their are a variety of jutsu that could stop this technique. Earth and water jutsu could be used to stop the wind provided the technique is at least the same rank. Evasive jutsu can also be used to avoid the sphere all together such as the Wind Stream Technique or (Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique.(Fūton: Gōkūhō) - Wind Release: Great Vacuum Cannon
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:30
Description: The users gathers his Fuuton chakra into the lungs to blow out a sphere of air at his target that can blow backwards the opponent and small objects around him.
Are their rules for spamming Wind Release: Wind Stream Technique? I could see someone easily trying to avoid the ground through repeated uses of this. Also, if a mid range wind technique is used to increase the speed weapons travel and those weapons have paper bombs on them, is their enough time to block the technique and escape the triggered blast?
