The Storm Release (嵐遁, Ranton; Viz "Gale Style") jutsu are techniques that seemingly combine lightning release and water release to create bright beams of electricity that can flow like water.
The Swift Release (迅遁, Jinton) ninjutsu are techniques that can be used to move at virtually instantaneous speed, granting the user an advantage over opponents with greater strength. This nature therefore renders the user invulnerable against Taijutsu.
The Steel Release (鋼遁, Kōton) ninjutsu are techniques that can be used to make one's body virtually indestructible by turning it into black steel.
The Dark Release (冥遁, Meiton) jutsu are techniques that can be used to absorb, manipulate, and release chakra taken from an opponent. It seems that techniques of this element are channeled through a mark on the user's left hand. This mark resembles two squares, one overlapping the other vertically. Chakra is absorbed through the upper square, while it is released and manipulated through the lower.
