But it has to be at least a small amount of wind chakra inside Naruto's chakra to produce that result. In other words, Naruto's chakra is already leaning in the direction of being wind chakra.

But it's not just raw chakra. It started out as Kyuubi chakra, which the Kyuubi stated a normal person could not use. It was changed to Naruto's chakra, in part by stripping the Kyuubi's will out of it. (Funny how that works) Then it ended up as Shikamaru, or Choji, or etc's chakra. Kyuubi's diagram indicates that Naruto did something to it to make it their chakra specifically, not just raw chakra.

I can agree on some of the latter half and I agree that you've convinced me that your pov is indeed a valid possibility.

However, I reiterate that if Shikamaru can use yin to turn the absence of light in to a real physical thing than you can indeed use yin to turn fire into something that is not fire at all. Even though it is not an element it is indeed an an example of what you claim cannot be. That yin or yang can and have been used to add something that was not already there. Shikamaru does exactly that when he uses shadow manipulation.

Now answer this. What do you suggest will explain all of these anime elements, let alone all of these fanon elements? Princeharris1993 suggests that earth and water can combine into more than just wood. To me that's a reasonable suggestion, but to use that is still the same type of thing that others are suggesting when they add yin and yang as parts of advanced elements. In other words, it's head canon.
