Yang Release (陽遁, Yōton, Viz: Light Style) is a nature transformation that exists outside the five basic elemental natures. Like its counterpart, Yin Release, Yang Release is little-explored in the series. Yang Release uses physical energy to control vitality, granting life to forms that have none. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki combined Yin and Yang into Yin–Yang Release, notably allowing him to create the nine tailed beasts.
Overview[]
Yang Release has tended to be inherited among the Senju clan, descendants of Hagoromo. Jin no Sho notes, however, that Senju clansmen don't usually make any significant use of Yang Release. Certain other clans employ Yang Release via their hiden skills, notably the Akimichi Clan, who use Yang Release to increase the size of their own bodies.
