{"id":"yoton","name":"Lava Style and Boil Style","japanese":"忍","category":"techniques","subtitle":"Origin, how it works and limits.","summary":"Nature combinations that take different forms.","facts":[["Procedencia","The profile tells anime and manga apart"],["Alcance","Original summary, not a universal repertoire"]],"lvl":1,"sections":[{"h":"Lava and steam","t":"This article covers two combined natures: Lava Style, or Lava Release, and Boil Style, or Boil Release. Their form changes depending on who uses them. Mei Terumī, the Fifth Mizukage, has both: against Sasuke she spits an acidic mud that melts almost anything and a corrosive mist that even damages his Susanoo, while she is unaffected. Mei does not produce the same lava as other users: her version is acidic.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-466","ep":"shippuden-204","pos":466},{"h":"Quicklime, rubber and other forms","t":"Lava is not always molten rock. Kurotsuchi spits quicklime that, mixed with water, hardens like cement and serves to pin enemies down. Dodai, from Kumogakure, forms a ball of lava with the consistency of rubber that absorbs and cushions blows, and he also uses it as a decoy. The Second Mizukage's steam also helps him escape being sealed. Lava usually mixes fire and earth, while steam combines fire and water.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-555","pos":555},{"h":"Rōshi and the Four-Tails","t":"Rōshi, from Iwagakure, was the jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, and lava was his signature. Reanimated in the war, he spits lava rocks that melt whatever they touch and enters a lava chakra mode. The beast and its host are not the same person: the power comes from the Four-Tails, but Rōshi mastered it through training. His lava can become armor or projectiles, which is why the technique varies so much between him and Mei.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-564","pos":564},{"h":"Han and the Five-Tails","t":"Han, from Iwagakure, was the jinchūriki of the Five-Tails. His steam technique turns chakra into pressure: he wears armor that vents steam to multiply the force of his blows. As with Rōshi, the power belongs to the beast and the control to the host. They are two different people even if they share the technique. That steam makes him an opponent very hard to hold down or strike up close.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-565","pos":565},{"h":"The lava Rasenshuriken","t":"When Naruto receives help from the nine beasts, he can use their natures. With Son Gokū's chakra he forms a lava Rasenshuriken against Madara. He does not need to have the combination innately: he takes it from the tailed beast working with him. He can also use other beasts' techniques, such as Kokuō's steam. It is the clearest proof that these natures, when they come from a tailed beast, depend on the relationship between the beast and its partner.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-673","pos":673}],"characters":["mei","roshi","son-goku","han","kokuo"],"related":["chakra","kirigakure","iwagakure","kekkei-genkai"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
