There's no 陽遁 shown in the series. Why?

[Rikudou Tobi]

I don't think the series have ever shown any Light style (陽遁, Yōton, Yang release) techniques.


We know that there is the shadow and light style bloodline limit such as the one to create (COAT/Izanagi) or the ones used for weapons to combat off ninjutsus (Truth seeking orb/Six paths'weapon).
And then there's shadow style and light style the non bloodline limit one that can be found in traces of all ninjutsus.

Usually clan secret arts (Hiden, 秘伝) contain

the comprises of some type of semi substance depending on the physical or mental energy that is combined with the clans chakra.
So people in the Akimichi clan will have physical energy integrated into their jutsu because physical energy is caloric energy and the Nara clan will have mental energy integrated into their jutsu because mental energy is manipulating their shadows. Those are the semi subtstances, caloric energy and shadow manipulation.

However in this case I'm not referring to the secret arts or bloodline limits, but the basic common ninjutsu we've never seen a Light style jutsu.
The 2nd Mizukage was fortunate enough to explain that all basic genjutsu/illusions are shadow style (陰遁,Inton, Yin release) techniques.

But what about Light style? Are there no Light style techniques out there?

 

[Uverdore9]

Light Style has a portion in Wood-Style/Mokuton.

 

[salamander uchiha]

Light style are Akamichi techs, possibly shadow clones and body splitting tech of Mu (imo). As a few examples I can think off of the top of my head.

 

[ThelUchiha]

Naruto using the one to restore Kakashi's eye is Yang technique

 

[ThelUchiha]

you iz full of b$ today my mina.......!!!!!!!!!!

I mean besides the secret arts one because they require special chakra. So that's why I excluded them in the OP.
But Mu's body splitting is a light style technique? Is there databook info on it?

Naruto using the one to restore Kakashi's eye is Yang technique

That was a Yin yang technique COAT

 

[Solidus Solidus Solidus]

I think a very strong yang affinity is required for wood release. I can't imagine that combining earth and water alone is enough to create life.

 

[BlazeRelease]

Because yang is the body, or physical energy, yin is the spiritual energy.

A yang style jutsu would not make sense without something to manipulate it further. It would have to incorporate some other element in some fashion, or use chakra in a different way to just amplify the body in some way, so a generic "Yang release" jutsu might not exist, unless you consider (Or the manga considers) infusing yang chakra with standard chakra to be regular yang release.

Inuzuka style jutsu and Akimichi style jutsu are the only ones I can think of, though you may also consider the 8 inner gates to be yang style techniques. Oh, and of course the senju were said to "harbor powerful yang release"... not that we ever see that besides Wood style from Hashirama.

Yin and yang being considered "Shadow and light style" is somewhat of an oversimplification of their concepts, even though occasionally the manga seems to do that as well, like with Madaras shadow style lightning bolt jutsu.

You're right but I'm excluding all of Secret arts and Bloodline Limit. Just basic jutsus

So you're saying that all Hiden arts/KKG aside, the only Yang Jutsu would be Physical arts such as the Eight Gates?

 

[HowDidIGetPrem]

Inner Sakura is an example.

That was a Yin yang technique COAT

The special chakra required is an affinity (nature) or other condition(bugs etc).

Kishi didn't go into much detail but he gave the gist of it all techniques outside of elemental jutsu would fall into 1 of the camps. Especailly jutsu that involve the body (physically). In Muu's case it's not really stated only concluded via evaluation(litteral body jutsu) and the fact that he lacks yin release doesn't hurt his position.

I just remembered that in order for you to create another being that would be considered shadow and light style, so to do what Mu did without shadow nature just doesn't make any sense.
Is there a databook info on Mu and his jutsus?

 

[Uverdore9]

Inner Sakura is an example.

That'd be an example of Yang-Yin release, I'd suggest.

There isn't at the moment. You're right normally that would be the case, however what Muu did is more akin to fission so would fit into Yang style and he doesn't have yin release. Muu is already the form and so doesn't need to create form out of nothing for his Jutsu it's literally physical divison.

When you put it that way then I’m convinced that you’re right because it came from his body in the first place.
So I guess Muu’s splitting is the closest thing or possibly the only Light style jutsu we have in the series excluding all Secret arts/Bloodline limit.

That’s pretty weak and I which had more to better understand the element like we do Shadow style. I thought medical ninjutsu was another but I could be wrong.

It seems that way.

Medical Jutsu's complicated I assume it depends on the type of Jutsu used. The manga will at times contradict itself or create a little confusion.

Can you give examples?

 

[salamander uchiha]

Can you give examples?

Take as an example genesis rebirth technically it would speed up cell divison similar to Muu's fission tech but to the cells. That seems like a physical skill and is similar to or based off Hashi's healing ability

Then you have delicate technique (below) seems to be a Yin dominant technique because it doesn't seem to rely on yang release (physical energy give life to form) rather spiritual energy(give form to chakra)

Then there's the chakra scalpel which requires a person to form there chakra into a scalpel.

It's confusing and complicated.

But what about Light style? Are there no Light style techniques out there?

A Journey to the West.

The systems of Naruto's elements are largely built around Taoist alchemy. Within this is also the concept of a sort of Taoist Physics, where we deal with what Yin and Yang actually are. Yin is the lower mind, concerned with the world. It is considered the aspect of illusion. Yang is more akin to the upper mind - idealism and presence of being.

Kaguya, possibly, was using something akin to Yang releases. But very few of her techniques were actually explained, if we want to consider much of what we got with COAT and other such techniques "explanation."

So you’re saying that the cellular extraction jutsu is Shadow style dominant than it is Light style dominant as well as the chakra scalpel? Just making sure I understand what you’re saying so I won’t be confused.

I just remembered Jugo’s cellular absorption jutsu. Would that be considered a Light style as well?

I mean even that’s too vague to understand the full grasp of things and Kaguya’s techniques were KKG related.
Unless you implying that her becoming one with the elements in her dimensions are considered a Light style technique?
