Wind Release (風遁, Fūton, English TV: Wind Style) is one of the five basic nature transformations, and is commonly affiliated with the Bird (酉, Tori) hand seal.
Overview[]
Wind Release is the rarest of the five nature transformations, but those who can use it are able to cut through anything. Asuma Sarutobi uses it by channeling wind chakra into his Chakra Blades, making the blades far sharper and giving them greater reach. Wind Release can also be exhaled from the user's mouth, such as to blow away everything in the area, or generated with the user's hands, allowing precision strikes. Although Wind Release has naturally good range and power, it can be further enhanced by compressing it or layering different wind streams together.
Trivia[]
- In Konoha Hiden and Retsu no Sho, Temari is referred to as the best Wind Release user in Sunagakure, and possibly the world.
- In the modern age Tenwa Sozo is regarded as the greatest living master of Wind Release.
