Yin Release

Yin Release ( 陰遁 , Inton , Viz: Dark Style or Shadow Style) is a nature transformation that exists outside the five basic elemental natures. Like its counterpart, Yang Release , Yin Release is little-explored in the series. Yin Release uses spiritual energy to control imagination, creating form out of nothingness. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki combined Yin and Yang into Yin–Yang Release , notably allowing him to create the nine tailed beasts .

Yin Release has tended to be inherited among the Uchiha clan , descendants of Hagoromo. Jin no Sho notes, however, certain other clans employ Yin Release via their hiden skills, notably the Nara clan , who use Yin Release to manipulate their own shadows. Additionally, most genjutsu also fall under the categorisation of Yin Release.

There have been occasional miscellaneous mentions of Yin Release: Minato Namikaze split the Nine-Tails ' Yin and Yang chakra, sealing its Yin half within himself and thus becoming its jinchūriki ; Hagoromo's spirit gives his Six Paths Yin Power to Sasuke Uchiha , which takes the form of a crescent moon marking on his left palm; Madara Uchiha , after acquiring Six Paths Senjutsu , uses Yin Release through his Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch .
