Kakuzu, an Akatsuki member who works with Hidan as a pair, has a unique
ability. His body is full of black strings that he can use to steal the organs
of his opponents.

He uses this ability in order to

> steal his enemies' hearts, which gives him two important advantages:
>
> **1)** Provides a type of "immortality". He can have a maximum of 4 hearts
> but this means he needs to be killed 4 times without him replacing the lost
> hearts in the mean time.
>
> **2)** Allows him to use the chakra nature elements of the stolen hearts.
> For example, if he steals a heart from someone who possessed the wind chakra
> nature element, he'd be able to use that.

Is it known what Kakuzu's own original chakra nature element was?

What was Kakuzu's original chakra nature element?


Being originally from the Waterfall village plus using the only element
without having an embodiment,

I'll have to take an educated guess and call **Water** on Kakazu.

The [Official Character Data
book](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1421541254/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1M9XSVQKNS3HZPY3Z2R0&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=317828027&pf_rd_i=468294)
provides **no info** on this. I'd say that any answer other than this without
any strong sources is mere speculation, or some educated guess (as
MadaraUchiha's answer).

While impossible to know since many shinobi use multiple chakra elements,
**Earth Style** was the only type he used without a mask
(<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Earth_Spear>) -- He had masks
for Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. So I'd say that was probably his natural
affinity, or at least what he was most comfortable with/most practiced with in
his original body.
