Water Release is one of the basic 5 element releases, it can be used to manipulate water from already existing sources or create it which is much more difficult than the former. Water Release is one of the most versatile nature transformation, allowing the user to manipulate the shape and state of the water. The damage from offensive water release techniques is caused from the force it exerts, causing internal damage, and if the user survive and if the technique is large, can even drown the opponent.
Water is superior to fire as it extinguishes the flames altho if the Fire technique is stronger, it will evaporate the water.
However Fire can also be used with water, to a certain extent. If the user were to release a wave of water and followed it up with a very low ranking fire technique they would be able to super heat the water without completely evaporating it, causing it to turn into a wave of boiling water.
Water is inferior to Earth as it can block the force it exerts but if the water technique is strong enough, it can break the Earth jutsu and carry it with it.
Water can be used with Lightning to increase the damage and lethality of it as it can electrocute the opponents.
It can be used with Wind Release to form the KG called Ice Release.
It can be used with Earth to form Wood Release.
It can be combined with Lightning to form Storm release.
It can be combined with Fire as well to form Boil Release.
