Of the five basic nature transformations, Wind Release (風遁) is considered the rarest, but those who can wield it are able to cut through most anything. Wind Release can be used to sharpen the edge of blades, exhaled from the mouth to repel things in the area, or compressed to obtain explosive power.

Wind Release is naturally strong against Lightning Release and weak to Fire Release. Despite its rarity, this nature is apparently common among Sunagakure ninja, to which the practice of using large fans to create wind is a seemingly reoccurring trait amongst their forces.

(RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) The user claps their chakra-infused hands together, emitting an airwave powerful enough to shatter stone and repel small incoming projectiles such as kunai and shuriken. Although quick to execute, the power of this technique weakens significantly over distance.[break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) The user claps their chakra-infused hands together, emitting an airwave powerful enough to shatter stone and repel small incoming projectiles such as kunai and shuriken. Although quick to execute, the power of this technique weakens significantly over distance.[break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) A largely defensive technique. Summons a burst of wind in the form of a swirling barrier around the user to deflect incoming projectiles and weaken the impact of physical attacks. This shield disappears as soon as it appears, and is often used simply to react quickly.

(RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user breathes a powerful gust of wind from their mouth, blowing away whatever is in front of them. The technique itself is fairly simple, but its power varies significantly depending on the user’s skill and strength. Some users are able to produce winds similar to those of a hurricane.[break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user clasps their hands together, compressing winds into a powerful gale. Has enough force to knock over a person, and when used in conjunction with throwing ninja tools, it can increase their lethality as their flight speed is increased.[break][break]


(RANGE: MED-LONG // DURATION: 2 // CD: 4) By infusing wind-natured chakra into shuriken, the user can control up to ten of them freely in midair, as well as increase the rate at which they spin to increase their piercing power and lethality. The most skilled users can control these shurikens while preoccupied with other techniques.[break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user swings their blade and a gust of wind is released in a razor-sharp arc. This technique is strong enough to repel common projectiles and can slice through multiple trees as it travels. [break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 2 // CD: 4) A supplementary technique that utilizes wind chakra to enhance the user’s speed and agility by releasing powerful, short bursts of wind beneath their feet. Allows short-distance dashing even in midair.[break][break]


(RANGE: MED-LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) The user launches sharp wind currents in the shape of a net to slice their targets apart. Due to its wide range, this technique is incredibly useful for crowd control and can be difficult to dodge.[break][break]


(RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) The user whips up a compact tornado around a single target, attempting to ensnare them as razor winds cut into them while lifting them into the air. Once the tornado begins to subside, it sends whoever is trapped within it crashing into the ground.

(RANGE: LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) The user compresses a tornado like mass to its absolute limit before releasing it, creating a devastating blast of wind that expands rapidly and with great force. This technique inflicts extreme damage on both the target and their close surroundings, and can be combined with Fire Release techniques to even greater destructive effect.[break][break]


(RANGE: LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: ONCE PER THREAD) The user produces a powerful stream of wind from their mouth, whipping up a whirlwind with such force that it immediately removes any hazards such as explosive tags and clones from a wide area around them. This technique uproots the earth and trees as it travels outwards, cleansing the battlefield with violent winds.

(RANGE: SHORT-LONG // DURATION: 2 // CD: ONCE PER THREAD) The user condenses a massive amount of wind-chakra and shapes it into the form of a massive demonic claw. This claw extends from their own hand and can be finely controlled to strike or grab a target, as well as deflect weapon attacks and projectiles. Depending on its use, the claw can be used to attack defend at all ranges, making it a deadly weapon. Extending the claw alone devastates anything in its path without affecting the user.
