When this so-called "Chakra Induction Paper" ( チャクラ感応紙, Chakura Kannōshi, English TV: Litmus Paper) is exposed to even the slightest hint of chakra, it reacts according to the chakra's latent element: One's affinity can be determined using pieces of paper made from a special type of tree that is grown and fed with chakra. Affinity can at times be genetic, or at least common to a particular family most members of the Uchiha clan have an affinity towards the Fire nature. In general, every person's chakra has an affinity towards one of the five basic nature transformations. The result of Kakashi's chakra in contact with the special paper: it wrinkles. However, if the two techniques have different levels, the higher-level technique will not only prevail but will grow stronger from interaction with the weaker, as when Amaterasu, the highest level Fire Release technique, grew stronger by absorbing an opposing Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. ![]() If two techniques of the same nature and the same level are used against each other, they will cancel each other out, as when Lightning Release: False Darkness is deflected with Lightning Cutter. ![]() For example, fire can overpower a water technique if it is first strengthened by a wind technique.Ī similar principle applies in how technique of the same element interact, what is called counterbalancing. However, a technique with a weaker nature can overpower a technique with a stronger nature if the former is of a higher level. Water ( 水, Mizu) is strong against Fire but weak against Earth.īasically, if an elemental technique is put against another elemental technique of the same level, but of a stronger nature, then the technique with the superior nature will prevail.Earth ( 土, Tsuchi) is strong against Water but weak against Lightning.Lightning ( 雷, Kaminari) is strong against Earth but weak against Wind.Wind ( 風, Kaze) is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire.Fire ( 火, Hi) is strong against Wind but weak against Water.Each element is naturally weaker than and stronger than another: They are so vital to the shinobi lifestyle that each of the Five Great Shinobi Countries is named after one of the five. The Five Basic Natures ( 五大基本性質, Godai Kihon Seishitsu) are the five elemental chakra natures, which are the foundation of all elemental ninjutsu. ![]() The clockwise direction also shows what particular element is strong against. Clockwise from the top: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water. A circular diagram of the different elemental weaknesses.
