Chakra Natures
Your natures (releases) decide which jutsu trees you can learn.
The 5 basic natures
| Nature | Element | Playstyle | Starter jutsu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Katon | Fire | Burst damage, burning, area denial | Great Fireball |
| Suiton | Water | Control, prisons, knockback | Water Bullet Volley |
| Doton | Earth | Defense, walls, armor | Rock Fist |
| Futon | Wind | Range, cutting, knockback | Wind Sickle Weasels |

How you get them
- At birth you get one random basic nature, plus any nature your clan gives (Uchiha and Sarutobi: Fire, Hatake: Lightning, Hozuki: Water). You never roll a duplicate.
- As you level up you unlock a random missing nature at levels 250, 500, 750 and 1000.
- Born with 1 nature: you have all 5 by level 1000.
- Born with 2 natures: you have all 5 by level 750.
