{"id":"naturalezas-de-chakra","name":"Chakra natures","japanese":"性質変化","category":"world","subtitle":"Fire, wind, lightning, earth and water.","summary":"The five basic natures chakra can be transformed into, how each ninja's affinity is discovered and what advantages some have over others.","facts":[["Naturalezas básicas","Fire · Wind · Lightning · Earth · Water"],["Prueba","Chakra paper"]],"lvl":0,"sections":[{"h":"Five basic natures","t":"Elemental techniques fall into five natures: fire (katon), wind (fūton), lightning (raiton), earth (doton) and water (suiton). The suffix ton, translated as release or style, appears in the name of each technique. Part I already has plenty of examples: Sasuke's Great Fireball, Zabuza's water dragon or the wind from Temari's fan. Each nature has its own article with techniques and users; this one gathers what they share and how they relate to one another.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-15","pos":15},{"h":"Affinity and chakra paper","t":"Kakashi explains the system to Naruto when he starts training to improve the Rasengan. Each person has one or more affinities, natures that come easier to them. To find out which, a special paper that reacts to chakra is used: it burns with fire, splits with wind, crumples with lightning, crumbles with earth and dampens with water. Naruto's paper splits in two, and so he discovers his affinity is wind. Affinity is not a limit: an experienced ninja can master several natures with practice.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-315","pos":315},{"h":"Shape and nature","t":"Kakashi distinguishes two kinds of manipulation. Shape transformation changes the form and movement of chakra, as in the Rasengan; nature transformation gives it elemental properties. The most advanced techniques combine both, which is why Naruto trains with hundreds of clones trying to cut leaves with wind chakra before mixing it into his sphere. That training shows that adding a nature to a shape technique is far harder than handling each one separately.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-316","pos":316},{"h":"Advantages between natures","t":"Yamato explains to Naruto that the natures have cyclical advantages: fire beats wind, wind beats lightning, lightning beats earth, earth beats water and water beats fire. Kakashi demonstrates it by piercing Kakuzu's earth defense with Lightning Blade. The advantage is not absolute: a weak technique can lose to a stronger one even with the favorable element, and two natures can also boost each other, as wind feeds fire. Kakuzu, with five hearts of different natures, is the ideal opponent to show it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-334","pos":334},{"h":"Combinations and kekkei genkai","t":"Some ninja mix two natures at once to create a new one, something that usually depends on heredity. That is the origin of Haku's ice, the wood of Hashirama and Yamato, Mizukage Mei's lava and boil, or Ōnoki's dust, which combines three natures. At the Kage Summit, Sasuke is cornered precisely by those mixed techniques. The article on kekkei genkai explains these combinations, and the articles on each element detail their techniques.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-466","pos":466},{"h":"Yin, yang and the power of the Six Paths","t":"Besides the five natures, the series speaks of yin and yang, the spiritual and physical energy at the root of all chakra. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki divides his power between Naruto and Sasuke along that line, and with it each receives a mark on his hand. From then on Naruto can create life and heal, while Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan. This plane lies above the common elements, which is why it is saved for the end of the war.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-673","pos":673},{"h":"Natures in the new generation","t":"In Boruto the natures are still the basis of training, though technology bends the rules. Katasuke's Kote lets users release elemental techniques without mastering them, and Boruto uses it in secret in the Chūnin Exams. On his own, Boruto mixes wind and lightning in the Vanishing Rasengan, and the anime adds water style. Kakashi's old lesson still holds: knowing which nature to use and how to combine it matters more than the number of techniques.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-9","pos":709}],"characters":["kakashi","naruto","yamato","sasuke","kakuzu","haku","mei","onoki","hagoromo","boruto"],"related":["chakra","katon","futon","raiton","doton","suiton","kekkei-genkai","sellos-de-manos","ninjutsu","rasengan"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 15, 315–316, 333–334, 466 and 671–673; Boruto, manga, chapters 3–9.","sources":[{"title":"Guía oficial de anime: Naruto y Shippuden","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime"},{"title":"Naruto: formación y vínculos, primera parte","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1610"},{"title":"Kakashi: el Sharingan recibido y la enseñanza del Chidori","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1903"},{"title":"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations · Índice de capítulos","url":"https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/boruto"}],"figures":[]}
