We've established that chakra element is hereditary (I.e. Sasuke got fire from
his parents, etc.). Is there any precedent for what happens when parents with
different elements have a kid? Does one element "win" and become the one that
the child has, or does the child get both?

Is there any precedent for the child of two chakra types?


Let's first off state bloodline limits.

Bloodline limits come with perks like Wood and Ice elements (Yamato and Haku).
This suggests that there is indeed a chance (Since it's not for _everyone_ ,
just like the sharingan and byakugan) they will inherit it from their parents.

It doesn't seem like anyone outside the clans have the blood limit abilities,
so we will assume that even when someone does not posses for example, Wood
elements, they might still be carriers and carry the ability on to their
children.

However, they do seem to pass on elements within clans. The Uchiha specializes
in Fire, Uzumaki in Wind, and so on.

It is quite safe to assume that you inherit the talent for your chakra element
type.

## However

Anyone can learn any chakra element type given enough practice. Even though
this won't easily become better than their main chakra element type, it could
still be passed on to their children more naturally.

Furthermore, it's probably a lot like bloodtypes in real life. Tho there are
technically rules, every human can get a random blood type instead of what
their parents got. if not, we would all have the same blood types in the end!
I believe this is also how the elements work. It's a game of chance between
which parent has the stronger genes.

  1. I've been a proper fan for 10 years now and am rewatching + reading it for the 9th time or so.
  2. <http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra> This webpage explains how ninjas can learn chakra types besides their natural affinity.

Other than that, this is all speculation. There is no proof of what I said and
there is no explanation from Kishimoto relating to this. All my speculation is
based on how I have learned the anime and manga.

answer


Uchiha are already affiliated with fire and can learn other elements by
practice to help answer this even more it is more or less possiable Naruto
character's are more likely born with elements though birthday's like Naruto
Oct 10 1996 he has wind and he is a Libra but it also goes by one's clan blood
line also so bit can be by both ways.
