She is obviously a girl. This is not Haku or Deidara. Even Kishimoto wouldn't give a guy fishnet stockings. Please {{unsigned|68.192.21.209|20:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)}}

Hi! I saw the lively discussion in the archive and would like to re-found it since I don't think it was discussed enough. That one guy was acting like an idiot but he has a clear point I think. Kurotsuchi puts more efforts in her attacks, so her chakra level must be noted as higher than average.[[Special:Contributions/93.200.253.156|93.200.253.156]] ([[User talk:93.200.253.156|talk]]) 20:43, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

== Gender evidence ==
 
 
I would like to bring forth some evidence pertaining to Kurotsuchi's gender. It might help solve this matter.
 
# Kurotsuchi wears a skirt. This can be seen on page 1 of chapter 460;
 
# Kurotsuchi's jacket shows curves around where the breasts would be. This is especially evident on page 14 of chapter 461;
 
# Kurotsuchi uses {{translation|"atai"|アタイ}} as a first-person pronoun. This is a highly feminine pronoun used mainly by women in downtown Tokyo and the geisha quarters.

== Deidara ==
 
 
I'm not familiar with Japanese honorifics and suffixes, but as far as I could see, Kurotsuchi referred to Deidara as Deidara-nii, which some have translated as brother. While there is a similarity of sorts, is there any truth in that translation?

::Kurotsuchi does indeed refer to Deidara as {{translation|Deidara-nii|デイダラ兄|Big bro Deidara}}. However this doesn't necessarily imply they are sibling. It just means that Deidara is older than Kurotsuchi and they were, in a way, close. Hinata calls Neji big brother as well, and Naruto calls Shizune big sister. It's possible they were siblings, but there's no way to be sure right now. --[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] <sup>([[User_talk:ShounenSuki|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ShounenSuki|contribs]])</sup> 17:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I am quite sure that she has earth element.

== By Default, 2 Bloodline Limits ==
 
 
If a person has an elemental bloodline limit, then that person can only use the elements that makes them up. Yamato explained this. So if she has lava release (fire and earth release), and ALSO water release, would she not then be forced to have a second elemental limit, that includes water as well? Or do no rules in the Naruto universe apply to her?
 
:Yamato never said a person with an elemental bloodline can only do the two elements that make up that bloodline. At least, not as far as I remember.

:::I don't remember that either.

::::I believe it was mentioned in 316, ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksko6Vzsm ) when Naruto wonders if Yamato has three elements (earth, water, wood) Yamato replies that. "[he] only [has] access to earth and water based jutsu" so his wood element can't really be considered a third element. We also see other people, the fifth Mizukage being a perfect example. having two, said that she can use earth, water, and fire which compose her to bloodline limits. We have never seen ANYONE else EVER use more then the elements that make up their bloodline limit (Danzo only had access to wood element by having part of the first Hokage implanted into his arm, which was the only place he could use wood, and he only used wind though the parts of the body that did not have the Hokage cells) --[[User:Dragon Hacker|Dragon Hacker]] ([[User talk:Dragon Hacker|talk]]) 23:42, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

:::::Kurotsuchi could of only focused on the Lava style in terms of Element Fusions. We don't know what else she trained her self in so adding in other element fusions she hasn't admitted to have or display is speculation. Its like adding in Wood element for the Mizukage just cause she has the prerequisite elements.We add case by case as by going by the Tc's logic the Mizukage should have 3 element fusions as she has the elements needed for Wood but as we seen its up to the individual ninja on what they learn and merge(within their ability).[[User:Umishiru|Umishiru]] ([[User talk:Umishiru|talk]]) 00:24, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 
::: saying she has more then one elemental fusion at this time is speculation, but the above example is a bad one because no one would speculate the mizukage has the wood element. She does not have the dna of the first hokage like Danzo and Yamato both have.[[User:Darthwin|Darthwin]] ([[User talk:Darthwin|talk]]) 14:55, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 
::I'd just like to add that element fusions (or advanced nature transformations) can not be trained (at least in respect to obtaining them) but are instead a genetic trait passed down through specific clans, as noted within Chapter 316. Now just as a person who possesses both the earth and water elements necessary for wood releases is incapable of simultaneously utilizing both of them to generate the advanced nature in question due to their lack of the required DNA, Kurosutchi herself may not be able to use another advanced nature purely because it isn't part of her bloodline, despite having the relevant elements. It also isn't unheard of a person at this level possessing three natures (e.g. [[Kakashi Hatake]]), so it isn't unreasonable that Kurosutchi can manipulate three elements but that it is ultimately her genetics which decide what if any combinations can be created. [[User:Blackstar1|Blackstar1]] ([[User talk:Blackstar1|talk]]) 17:15, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Yes. It's the first example we've seen, outside of Danzo's artificially implanted kekkei genkai, of a user having both an element-combination kekkei genkai and a third element besides. The odd thing that strikes me is that it's not the same as her grandfather. [[User:ZeroSD|ZeroSD]] ([[User talk:ZeroSD|talk]]) 17:27, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 
::The entire Lava Release thing is very weird.

:::My bet is that the same combinations can simply occur independently, they don't have to be related.

== Kekkei Genkai Relations ==
 
 
If Kurotsuchi has this Kekkei Genkai, and Mei has this Kekkei Genkai, then (weird expiriments) dosn't that mean that they must be related? They both have something that is unique to a certain bloodline, so they both must be of that bloodline. If they are both of the same bloodline, then that also means there is the potential that they have a common descent from someone with the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai. Kurotsuchi also has Dust Release Kekkei Genkai within her bloodline, though she may or may not have the actual Kekkei Genkai. This also means there is the potential that they both have common descent from someone with the Dust Release Kekkei Genkai. This has got to be some seriously weird family tree.[[User:SkyFlicker|SkyFlicker]] ([[User talk:SkyFlicker|talk]]) 09:20, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
 
:While it's essentially the same kekkei genkai the kanji for each is written differently one has the radical for fire and the other for water which could just mean that unrelated people may be able to use the same kekkei genkai but with different elemental base compositions.--[[User:Cerez365|Cerez365]] ([[User talk:Cerez365|talk]]) 09:26, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

:I'm not superior to you friend. I just think that something like that would have to be mentioned for <u>everybody</u> then it'd just become a hassle.--[[User talk:Cerez365|Cerez<sub>365</sub>™]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]] 20:48, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
 
 
Well, I think you are. You´ve achieved more than me in this Wiki, as well as being a member for a longer time. Not to mention your status and your high number of edits you made. As I said, it might be necessary. Same goes for Fukasaku, Gamabunta etc. I´ll ask my Japanese teacher. If there are too many, we skip it. ShadowoftheDarkness 21:08, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

::If the dialect she's speaks in can be verified, I see no harm in adding it, specially if there are some pronunciation particularities that are also present and discernible in the manga.

:::I haven't really noticed Kurotsuchi speaking in any particular dialect. She uses {{translation|'atai'|アタイ}} as a first-person pronoun, making her sound rather rude and immature, but that's about it. Deidara uses {{translation|'oira'|オイラ}}, if I'm not mistaken, which is somewhat associated with the northern dialects, but is mostly used to give a character a country-bumpkinish flair. On the other hand, Akatsuchi uses {{translation|'wai'|ワイ}}, I believe, which comes from the Kyōto–Ōsaka region. —[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] <sup>([[User_talk:ShounenSuki|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ShounenSuki|contribs]] | [[User:ShounenSuki#Translations|translations]])</sup> 22:59, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

should we include anything about her possible high chakra reserves. It was kind of alluded to in 612, with the way she was giving a lot more quicklime then the other shinobi. [[User:sleuther|sleuther]] ([[User talk:sleuther|talk]]) 2:57 December 15, 2012 (UTC)

::I see no such difference in the amount of quicklime she provided. Even her being in the foreground of that panel doesn't make it look like she's spewing more quicklime.

::: you see where her stream of quicklime shows escalation spikes or maybe reduction spikes, whatever. and normally if she wasn't shelling out gravity dictates those spikes wouldn't be there; as they are not with the other two visible streams. also, while all the other shinobi's cheek don't have cheek lines, her cheeks look as though they will explode with chakra.

I can see it now:
 
{{Quote|Kurotsuchi has a high chakra reserve witnessed when she and other [members of her clan] used the [[Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique]], she gave a lot more quicklime that the other shinobi.

: No, no, the other shinobi have NO cheek lines, that is a drastic difference regarding the chakra level of one person! xD Heck, I really did laugh because of this![[Special:Contributions/94.135.247.37|94.135.247.37]] ([[User talk:94.135.247.37|talk]]) 15:28, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 
::Oh dear my mistake. Well that's what the community is for~ While we're at it, we should call out that lazy Sarutobi as well (fourth one from the right) his cheeks weren't going to explode with chakra like the other hard-working ones.--[[User:Cerez365|Cerez<small>365</small><sup>™</sup>]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]][[User talk:Cerez365|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 15:35, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
I see the panel they're talking about. She's puffing out her cheeks. Which could imply she's blowing harder, that she's in the foreground so Kishi decided to draw that line and not bother with the dudes farther back or perhaps that she actually needs to try harder to perform this technique than the others implying the opposite of what you're saying. Honestly, there's nothing here to imply Kurotsuchi has a lotta chakra, just a lot of hot air. --[[User:Hawkeye2701|Hawkeye2701]] ([[User talk:Hawkeye2701|talk]]) 15:40, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
Oh ok, she's just trying harder than the other shinobi, that's why. you know manga artists are getting sloppier and sloppier. if she is just struggling with the jutsu, something like a sweat drop, or some shaking, a nerve poping out would have been nice. you know something like we've seen chapter after chapter now, with naruto, kakashi, guy, etc. seriously all she looks is PO'ed. Really, blowing. i never new the breathing process played such a large role in the spitting out elemental attacks. i; maybe, can see like a 'last little bit in the toothpaste tube' situation, but clearly she was consistently giving just as much (IF NOT MORE) than all the other shinobi. Either they must have super lungs and it just wasn't explained or we can all just assume that everyone is taking deep breaths off print. But lets not refer to the picture below that one, that shows that at least on her side there was no shortage of cement, nor the one where she was shown using that move against kabuto like a pro. Heck lets just not include the reasoning, that she has just been in a war like everyone else, that the other main character like darui are showing signs of low chakra (based on the number of his lazers being significantly reduce. maybe why he need sakura's chakra; Cerez! And yet; Cerez, based on the other users you can tell he has high chakra) and Shee (that is why, you don't see any lighting this time). But no lets just assume that every iwagakure cement user; that has made it this far, has the same chakra control. Or no how about we assume that some of them just didn't really want to subdue the juubi, so they only put as much effort in as everyone else. Yup; Cerez, she was good enough to be a body guard because she has a slightly useful water attack and she is Onoki's granddaughter. But no, i forget that illustrators spend painstaking time and effort to draw such minor things; to depict physics, so that we may disregard them instead of use them to ruffly measure things like speed, strength, etc. But hey, if Cerez can only give an objective opinion on chakra levels when some character exclaims "what chakra levels!" or if someone happens to summon Gamabunta, go ahead and need someone to lead you by the nose all the time. i bet you think that teachers aren't enough; we need mathematicians there to assure children that two plus two invariably equals four.

Hey Cerez. It's too bad we can't claim that Tsunade has large chakra reserves, because Jiraiya has yet to push her down a chasm; forcing her to summon Gamabunta. Hah; well, move to France and eat some frog appendages, buddy. i bet you'd regard them as a delicacy. [[User:sleuther|sleuther]] ([[User talk:sleuther|talk]]) 3:10 December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 
:can one consider them as a delicacy if they make one's cheeks explode with taste? xD
 
:no seriously, what you are talking about makes no sense. and it seems like you use every talkpage you can take to state what you don't like about this wiki. use the forum next time, or dicuss on some user talk pages, but not here.[[Special:Contributions/94.135.247.37|94.135.247.37]] ([[User talk:94.135.247.37|talk]]) 09:07, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 
::what are you talking about. When a manga artist depicts tree limbs moving, it's not because he is trying to make them 'dancing trees'. It's because of wind, idiot. Maybe its because i don't want to read a manga where everyone's power levels are the same if they can't summon some giant animal. especially if they're not background character (You ever think there can be subtle and simple differences just based on that. They aren't main characters but they aren't background so there has to be some difference.) Her jutsu was the only one showing fluctuations spikes. And its not like she was there using it for hours before her teammates chipped in. They release chakra from their mouths. Maybe it builds up. i highly doubt they puff out their cheeks because it's fashionable. [[User:sleuther|sleuther]] ([[User talk:sleuther|talk]]) 4:26 December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Chakra, Round 2

Hi! I saw the lively discussion in the archive and would like to re-found it since I don't think it was discussed enough. That one guy was acting like an idiot but he has a clear point I think. Kurotsuchi puts more efforts in her attacks, so her chakra level must be noted as higher than average.93.200.253.156 (talk) 20:43, June 10, 2013 (UTC)
