There's a few reasons; Mastery of the wind element is necessary to meet the criteria for certain special abilities and biography restrictions that piqued my interest. Additionally, by watching others, I've developed a few possible custom ideas. Other than that, though not necessary, it would be nice if I could complete this element at some point.
How I intend to use it in battle? The techniques provided for us in the jutsu list? While I can't give a specific answer, I'll probably rely on more conventional means of taking advantage of its more redeeming qualities. As time goes on and I fight more people and accumulate experience, I'll continuously adjust and evolve my style to match what I've learned.

Interesting points you've raised. Very good!
So, tell me about Winds relation with the other four elements; Fire, Lightning, Water and Earth please.

All's good.
Because air is a poor medium for electricity to flow through, the Wind element is strong against the Lightning element. It's not often done because of their contradicting natures, however, it is possible to combine the two elements and form an effective collaboration technique - An example would be using the friction generated by razor sharp wind shears grinding against each other (similar to what Asuma described) to generate sparks of electricity, later enhanced with chakra.
Because flames burn oxygen, the Wind element is weak against the Fire element; However, because flames burn oxygen, wind release can be used in conjunction with fire with the intention of augmenting the strength of a given fire jutsu. In my opinion though, depending on how you go about it (what techniques you're using), combining wind and fire might be like sacrificing control for power.
The Wind and Water element share a similar relationship to wind's relationship with fire, despite the two being opposites. While wind can be used to bolster the strength of fire, it can do the same for the water element; When combined with water, wind will drastically increase its overall concussive power.
The Wind and Earth element have a . . . unique relationship, for lack of a better word. Earth isn't necessarily strong against wind, and conversely, wind isn't necessarily strong against earth. They can be combined to form effective collaboration jutsu, but it's not something you see often; Some of what I've seen people do is to use the wind to move large, otherwise unmovable rocks over large distance excessively fast (While eliminating the threat of lightning), another way I've seen it used was to drastically increase the cutting power of wind by infusing earthy particles into the wind, giving it some tangibility.

Most excellent responses indeed.
Wind jutsu will fall into two categories, and in some cases will involve manipulation in both manners to complete the jutsu; Cutting Wind and Blunt force wind. They can be performed by either manipulating existing wind/air around you or by creating wind by exhaling it.
Cutting wind, pretty obvious as the name states... cuts things.
Blunt wind, more like the wind you'll come across in RL. It's power lies in it's ability to push things in the manner you want them pushed.
Explain to me (if you know) how to achieve these two forms of wind jutsu using your chakra.

Thanks, though, I'm not too sure about how to answer this question.
To achieve the cutting, slicing variation of wind, you'd typically follow the instructions Asuma gave Naruto - To imagine your chakra as if it was being ground into a super fine, sharp razor, and mold your wind element chakra to mirror that. As for the blunt force wind, I'm unsure of how one would go about achieving this, specifically.

Spot on. For blunt force, instead of making the air current thin and compressed, you make them wide and spin faster with your chakra. You can also compress these large air currents to give the a more devastating impact.
So, for the first of many jutsu. I want you to release your wind chakra into the air around you, using it to make the wind spin around gently to lift off fine particles of sand/dirt/dust thus creating a dust cloud.
How could you use this in battle?

Makes sense, thanks.*I take a seat on the ground, folding my legs, clasping my hands, and engaging in light meditation. I control my breathing and focus on what wind is to me, as well as its relation to to us in the ninja world. Wind can be calm and gentle, like a cool autumn breeze; However, despite not having a specific form or tangibility to speak of, wind can be monstrously powerful, like a tornado ravaging a landscape or a massive downburst flattening the earth. Hell, over time, wind can even erode earth. Like a diety, despite it being something that can't be physically seen, or grasped, it's presence and power is something to be respected. In relation to ninja, the wind element is generally renowned for possessing incredible cutting or slicing powers, sometimes to the point of being able to effortlessly bifurcate solid matter, like earth. It can also be used to deliver blunt force attacks; A microburst is an example of a natural phenomenon in which a localized column of air descends from the air, possessing concussive force as it slams against the ground. Slowly but surely, as I channel and release it to and from every point in my body, my chakra begins to take on similar characteristics to wind. A very gentle breeze begins cycling around my body, made noticeable by the visible ruffling of my hair and clothes along with the fine earthy particles being carried away by the wind. Over time, a large cloud of dust appears, cycling around my body with me at the center.*
----------
The first thing that comes to mind would be using the cloud to conceal one's own movement and set-up a successful feint, similar to what Naruto did in his fight against the Six Paths of Pain (when he took out the Naraka path); Though, in Sage Mode, Naruto has the ability to sense where his opponent was - A normal person might require some other means of detecting a possibly moving opponent.

O__O Very good xD
For normal people, without a sensing technique or the appropriate doujutsu, you'd just have to remember where you target was or use the sound of their movements to locate them.
Now hold your hands out in front of you and charge them with your wind chakra. When you are ready I want you to release your chakra and start manipulating it to cause the wind to form a dense wall that should deflect my shuriken that I will throw at you.

Like human echolocation or acoustic way-finding?
---------------------
*I stand up, and as I did earlier, I begin kneading my chakra to be as much like wind as possible, while simultaneously channeling it to both of my hands. Like a wetgrinder polishing away the imperfections on a sword, I whet my chakra to be razor sharp and compressed. I evenly distribute the chakra to both of my hands, and raise them in front of me, releasing the built up energy. Using shape manipulation, I have my chakra take on the form of a dense wall of cycling wind. Since wind ordinarily does not have substance, to have it maintain its shape, I coat the wall in a layer of regular chakra; This would allow me to give the wind any desired shape or form at a whim. To make sure my defense doesn't falter in the face of your offense, I continuously feed and bolster the wall with chakra. *

Well, you'd still be able to hear people running around or using some jutsu right? If you hear a sound, you can guess it could be your target... nothing special about it O__O
Inhale a deep breath of air and then release it from your mouth in a compressed form is such a way, that you will be blown backwards.

Description: User creates a wall of spinning wind in front of him that is used to push back weapons thrown towards him. It can also be used against taijutsu close range attacks, but the wall can be pushed back with a stronger wind jutsu or if a smoke bomb or explosive tag touches the spinning wind they will automatically get activated because of the sharpness of the wind element, damaging the user also.

Guess I was over thinking it :x
*I engage in light meditation and begin doing breathing exercises, focusing on controlling the rate of my breath along with the amount of air I take in each time. Once I find my own rhythm, I take in one final deep breath. While holding the air in my lungs, I begin molding and imbuing it with my wind nature chakra. Rather than focusing on making the wind razor sharp, I focus instead on heavily kneading my energy into the air, compressing it to build pressure for the moment I exhale. When I feel I've done a sufficient job, and before I need to gasp for air again, I exhale all of the wind in one go against the ground on an angle while jumping; As a result of my heavily imbuing it with chakra, the wind possesses blunt force, and as a result of my jumping to aid the process, my continuous breath launches me backwards on an angle through the air. In the end, I land several meters behind my previous location.*

Excellent!
Create a stream of wind across the ground that picks up small stones as it head towards my clone, were upon reaching him, will lift him up into the air. Whilst in the air, the stones the wind picked up will smash into him, dealing many small but painful injuries.

*As I did previously, I engage in a light meditation where I focus on controlling my breathing, periodically increasing the amount of air I take in while also increasing the rate at which I draw breath. Once I've got a leveled head, I take in a final breath of air and imbue it with my chakra, just as I did previously. I focus mainly on compressing the air and increasing the pressure in my lungs, increasing the concussive impact the wind will possess as opposed to focusing on making the wind razor sharp. Once I feel I've done a sufficient job, I exhale the wind, just as I did before, only on a different angle. I release the gust in such a way that it covers the entire area in front of me while brushing against the ground. The wind possesses enough strength to toss around a person, made evident by the countless loose rocks and earthy minerals pelting flying through the air pelting your clone while he too gets swept o ff his feet.*

Excellent!
Charge your wind chakra into the palms of both your hands as you clap them together in front of you. As you clap your hands, quite forcefully I should add, I want you to compress the wind in your hands so as to release a powerful gale aimed at my clone to knock him back as he runs at you.

*As instructed, I begin by kneading chakra internally and channeling it to both of my hands. While diverting the flow of chakra to each of my hands and using it to coat them like gloves, I imagine my chakra as if it were being ground into fine razor blades; While I do sharpen the wind, it's done in such a way that does not bring harm to myself.When I feel like I've molded enough chakra, I envision my proper performance of the technique, before forcefully clapping my hands together. When I clap my hands, the resistance between them causes the wind to be forcefully diverted forward and outward in the form of a highly aggressive wave of air. When your clone runs towards me, he'd be swept off his feet by the surprisingly powerful gale force wind.*

Nicely done. You can also use that jutsu to increase the spead of kunai/shuriken you threw by performing this jutsu immediately afterwards.
Take out a kunai and then channel you wind chakra into it, adding an aura of wind to it. Manipulate the wind to give the weapon a very sharp edge and then use it to slash at that tree, cutting clean through it.

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.

Thanks for the tip
*I draw a single kunai with my right hand and begin kneading chakra once more, channeling it to my right hand. I focusing on making my chakra as razor sharp as possible. Using a previous example, I imagine my chakra as if it were being ground in between two wetgrinders and finely sharpened. After molding my chakra to match the characteristics of wind as closely as possible and using the chakra control skills I developed while learning Ninjutsu, I steadily channel the chakra into my weapon. With the wind infused, it vastly increases the sharpness and general cutting ability of the weapon, which I thereafter use to cut clean through the trunk of the tree, having it fall down adjacent to me.*

Gather you wind chakra as you perform the Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake hand seals. After performing them I want you to release your chakra and use it to manipulate the wind so that it is strong enough to push over my clone, standing before you.
