[Ninpocho Admin]

Element List
While all Jutsu use different amounts of chakra, Ninjutsu is known for shaping chakra into various elements to create many different types of techniques. This type of chakra control, known as Nature Transformation, allows a person to alter the properties of chakra into many differentElements. The main types, known as Base Elements are the ones people are most familiar with; Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth and Water.

Everyone is capable of using Base elements to some degree, but there are stronger elements that are only available to those with the proper affinities. These special elements are known as Advanced Elements. Though a shinobi may be able to unlock an affinity to every base element, it is believed to be impossible for one to unlock every Advanced Elemental nature.
