World Release

The World Release is a strictly offensive style that use attacks based on natural happenings that happen on Earth, such as weather or natural disasters. To activate most these techniques, a user most have total focus and understanding of the attack they want to use, for example, to cause a tsunami, one must be able to send the required amount of chakra to form it and control it.

World Release is a common jutsu in the Land of Souls. The monks there were said to have learned how to control the Earth's power by becoming its Vessel of Knowledge. Once one becomes becomes a Vessel, they gain access to most World Release techniques(although training is need for more advance attacks). Lucas Knight, a ninja from the Land of Electricity, is one of the few people from the outside world who was able to become a Vessel and gain the World Release.

However there are major drawbacks when using this release. The first is the vast amount of chakra needed for a single attack. Even some high-ranked monks are seen exhausted after just one attack. Also, one cannot preform an attack if the environment doesn't 'fit' with it it. For example, a water-based technique can be used in a place with a hot temperature or a ice attack can work if the place is a humid jungle or swamp. The most flaw one must remember is the charge time. Many, if not all World techniques need to charge up before the attack can be used. This gives an opponent a chance to attack while the user is concentrating.
