Chakra Attributes SPOILERS

[DarkNataku]

ok so i just read that naruto's chakra is of wind. and kakashi is lightning kinda obvious by his chidori and sasuke as most uchihas are fire. so is one time stronger than another or does it go around in circles. five basic types of chakra — Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning and Earth. so what would be sakura's i would say water but not sure.

[Denisa]

I do think we will learn what type of chakra Sakura has since she is a main character and the NarutoxSakuraxSasuke triangle is vital to the story.

The earth and wind have a very special connection in mythology. So if you read into the Naruto and Sakura connection then earth makes sense I guess.

As for the others, it would be just guesswork.

Ino: Water
Kiba: Fire
Shino: Lightning
Choji: Fire
Shikamaru: Earth
Tenten: Wind
Hinata: Wind
Neji: Wind
Rock Lee: Wind

[u_nick]

The way Sakura (and Tsunade) break ground and rocks with their fists these days, I would put that in the Earth Category. Unless of course, they decide to give us something we havent seen yet.

[DarkDestiny]

I vote for Earth. I agree with Densia's mythology theory. Also with u_nick's break stuff theory as well.

[DarkNataku]

well can they be double attributes. like sasuke is mostly fire but he does know chidori and that upgrade he did to that move(forgot what he called it. something like 1000 current) to make it surround his body.

[abomination]

Well with the Uchiha's being Fire type, I'm going to say the Hyuuga's are Wind type, especially based with moves like Hakkesho Kaiten. Lee, Gai, TenTen, and Temari are more likely to be Wind type. Chouji is probably Earth, but with his association with butterflies, he could be Wind and Earth. Gaara is definitley Earth, but could be associated with Wind as well. Kakashi is Lightning.Yondaime was probablyWind and/or Lightning ( with his Flying Thunder God jutsu that designated him "Konoha's Yellow Flash" ). Kiba is probably Wind or Earth. Sandaime was defintely Earth, what with all the Doten jutsu's ( similar to the way the Uchiha's Katon jutsu's designate them as Fire ). Haku, Zabuza, and Kisame are obviously water.

The rest of the cast are hard to tell. It's hard to tell with characters that use mostly Taijutsu, so Lee, Gai, and Kiba are speculative, but the Hyuuga's, TenTen, and Temari are IMO definitely Wind. Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, etc. I really have no clue. It's probably easier to tell with Ninjutsu users.

Sakura is a toughy. She's mostly Taijutsu, but with the whole her,Naruto and Sasuke following in the Sannin triangle ( rock, paper, scissors thing ) with Sasuke being mainly Fire and Naruto being wind, I'd say she's Earth. But then again I don't see how they match like the whole rock,paper,scissors=Sannin thing.

[u_nick]

I thought Jiraiya used fire a couple times? So my first guess for him would be fire, since its really the only one we have SEEN him use (?)

Which then negates the whole rock paper scissor Sannin thing. :\

[dimithri]

Well I guess everyone can use any element for ninjutsu, but when they say a particular ninja is say a wind user I’m guessing it means wind is their most natural type and probably their strongest.

The fact most people thinks Neji and Hinata are wind based would direct us to where Naruto might go as far as his super jutsu is concerned. I've always thought Naruto is going to develop something like a chakra shield much like Neji does for defense. For attack he may develop chakra tentacles (like ruby in bleach) or the infamous Hiraishin no Jutsu. But thats what I think.

[Atherakhia]

Just out of curiousity, was the 4th also Wind?

[Sisco]

Ino: Water
Kiba: Fire
Shino: Lightning
Choji: Fire
Shikamaru: Earth
Tenten: Wind
Hinata: Wind
Neji: Wind
Rock Lee: Wind


Choji: Food :D ;)

[DarkNataku]

ok naruto tested his chakra but what about kyubi chakra what is his type. could be fire or all or even non-elemental. seeing as naruto uses kyubi's chakra to summon gamabunta could it be water. but i would say fire bc of how naruto's normal color of chakra turns red

[Naster]

what does chakra color have to do with anything? neji always can see chakra and he always sees it as blue.. except for when he fought naruto at the chuunin exams. i thikn the red chakra thing has to do with it being kyuubi or just being a "superior" chakra. my guess would be that naruto's second elemental is fire. wind fuels fire, so he would probably use this to some extent. and i only say this because the kyuubi can naturally generate fire in japanese legends.. not because his chakra is red.

[DarkNataku]

well i made the comment on the color bc in jap myth foxes use fire balls to scare humans. and well foxes are red right. (except for the artic fox) but your right color has nothing to do with it.

[Dj_Saito]

I think a few of you are just tossing some of the other characters into the wind category. I mean ROCK LEE as a wind type..........I would think his and sakura's physical strength rate them as earth types. I think neji is a lightning type (which seems to be the type for genius like ninja) and hinata is a water type.

Fire is the element that is most associated with kitsune, I believe.

I agree with u_nick: Sakura (and Tsunade) is probably of the earth element, given her sheer physical strength (the girl can punch through rocks!). Also, she's a medical ninja, and IMO, it makes sense that a medical ninja would be of the earth element.

Hinata and Neji I see as being lightning and/or wind or water types. I think they're probably the same because they both wield their clan's kekkei genkai, and I think one has to be a certain two elements in order to wield a certain kekkei genkai.

Are you kidding, when he was under the influence of Tsunades drug he was able to make a huge earth element swamp which he considered small. Also he was trained directly by the fourth who was a primary earth user, so im guessing his chakra leans twoard earth more than anything, but im guessing hes able to control all the elements or at least 3-4 of them. As for those with advanced bloodlines like nejis or kimimarus, the control over elemental attacks probably arent very useful when theyre own bloodline provides them with more powerful atacks. However im guessing being able to use any jutsu whcih uses any element, no matter how small or weak, means you can control that element. Which is why all of narutos moves to this point havent involved any sort of element. Sakuras havent either for that point, I also dount she uses any elemental atacks casue I havent seen Tsunade use any either. Im guessing people like ino, sakura, shikamaru, kiba, etc haven even begun there elemental chakra training yet. We propbably wont ever see it either. I mean if every single one of them was able to control elemntal atacks already it would make narutos traing alot less meningful. Also if someone like Jiriya hasnt taqught naruto any elemental atacks, what would make you think lesser jounin instructors would be teaching students who learn at a much slower pace than naruto how to contorl the nature of their chakra. Also whats with all the wind users, in all of kanoha the only one weve seen so far is asuma, i highly doubt hyugas are wind based users. In fact im guessing they dont even bother much wiht the nature of their chakra considering the power of theri bloodline. Sry for the rant.

[Hellsartist]

I agree with Ardilla that many of the characters' elements aren't known yet, making Naruto's training more meaningful. Also I don't think ninja are limited to one or two elements, like Kakashi said Sasuke is a fire type but he can also use Lightning. I think each ninja has one element where their specialty lies but if they trained they could use all of them effectively. Given that there are elements, like Haku's Ice element and Yamato's (and the 1st Hokage's) wood element which Kakashi said were mixtures of multiple chakra types, that are much harder to master. Seeing as Haku's Ice was a Bloodline limit and Yamato's wood is from the 1st's DNA. I've sort of lost my main point so thats all for now :P

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

If I recall correctly, Kakashi said that the ability to take two elements and combine them to make one is what makes a kekkei genkai, and therefore that ability is not common.

[abomination]

Yeah. That whole thing between Haku's bloodline limit and elemental combinations is what confused alot of people. But that was the only time it was mentioned, and it didn't make sense really. It sounded more like a contradiction to me. Kishi was making new things with elemental chakra and combining two base chakra elements to make new ones and forgot Haku already had done something very similar and since it was already planned out and down on paper he couldn't change it so he just explained it off as Haku's bloodline limit and didn't go into much detail about it. That's what I'm chalking it up to, but I'm probably wrong on that assumption.
