    The real question is "why the hell is every jounin so surprised to hear that Narutos chakra is wind?". I mean, there are only 5 elements. This isn't a MMORPG and wind sure is no rare item.

    Heh, Kakashi acted like Asuma was the only other wind element user in Konoha too.

    yah that kinda suprised me too, but lets face it guys it IS kishi we're talking about here, right?

    i'm confused as to why he didn't have another, i'd think water would be great.

    what kakashi said doesn't mean he's the ONLY one. just an example who happens to be a fellow jounin who he talks to a lot

    Asuma said that wind is best at close and mid-range? What about Temari? Her attacks were long rangeish.

    As Assertn said, Wind must not be very usual in Konoha. After all, this is the Fire Country, remember? So the most common would be Fire and those associated with Fire, which would be Earth and LIghting, I guess, since those are the most commonly used by the mid-level ninja...

    Wind, as shown in the final test of the Chuunin test, is common at the Wind Country (duh) and the Sand Village... to all that we need to add that some jutsu don't require a elemental affinity, Kakashi and Yamato/Tenzou were talking about "Yin and Yang" but since Naruto (both the kid and the manga) is slow then they'll explain it later.

    Over all, Wind fits Naruto but it won't change his style one bit. He'll just rush into the battle as he always does....

    Edit Damn, Elessar just posted basically the same thing. Weird.

    Heh, yeah. I really like you and all, but would you mind getting out of my head please?

    @rotary7eaven: did it ever occur to you, that one could like a story for something else than its main character?

    That's true. Asuma, Naruto, Baki, Temari - that's it (overall, not konoha only). Katon then again is used by bystanders during the Konoha Invasion arc. So far we've seen a lot more Fire/Water/Earth based attacks compared to Lightning/Wind. But I've always attributed that to the fact, that it is easier to come up with cool fire attacks

    For the range thing....
    Baki -> short. Asuma -> short. Temari -> middle (except maybe the summoning one)
    Long range is more like Kakashis MS or the arrow attack of the sound nin spider guy.
    A middle/long natured chakra would have been better. Then Naruto would have had to learn not to rush into battle like a moron. Now he's got an excuse.
