The Anime has stated quite a lot of times that Kekkai Genkai is a genetic
leverage that some clans have, which allow them to combine 2 elements into a
new style. (Like for example, wind + water makes the ice release and Earth +
lightning makes the explosion release).

What I'm more interested in thou, is if its possible for a prodigy who can use
2 elements, to combine them. To be more specific I'm asking if its possible
for Boruto to create a new release by combining lightning and wind style. (I
don't even know what the combination of wind and lightning creates).

I'm really interested in this because there has been some individuals who have
used releases from combinations of 2 elements without being from a notable
"Kekkai genkai known clan". An example is deidra, who could use the explosion
style and also darui, the wiki even states that: "By combining his water and
lightning-natures, he can utilise Storm Release".

So could Boruto possibly create a new release of his own by incorporating
lightning style and combining it with wind nature.

question
naruto boruto
Can 2 elements be combined into a new release without a "clan based Kekkai Genkai"?


## Indeed, two or more elements can be mixed and utilized without it being
clan based.

According to the _Naruto_ wiki:

> Wood Release (木遁, Mokuton, Viz: Wood Style) is a nature transformation
> kekkei genkai, a combination of Earth and Water Release. It was famously
> used by Hashirama Senju, and in fact is not known to have naturally occurred
> in anyone else, leading to it being regarded as impossible to use without
> having his cells.

Wood Release is a Kekkei Genkai only **naturally** used by Asura Otsutsuki and
Hashirama Senju. Asura received Wood Release after Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the
Sage of Six Paths, passed his power onto him. Wood Release is also of
Otsutsuki lineage, another possibility as to why Asura has it. Hashirama most
likely has it being his former reincarnate. This power is a mixture of two
elements not used by any Senju except Hashirama.

The wiki also states:

> A kekkei genkai (血継限界, literally meaning: Bloodline Limit) is an anomaly of
> the DNA that allows the wielder to use unique techniques. A kekkei genkai's
> name describes both the anomaly and the resulting technique.

You are not wrong on this part. But Kekkei Genkai are shown to not only be
bloodline abilities. They are also known to be the mixture of two elements,
not needing to be passed down. Examples of this are Hashirama, and Haku.
Boruto may be able to make a new Kekkei Genkai, but as of now, it has not been
shown.

## Final Answer

Yes, it is true that Kekkei Genkai are typically known to be abilities passed
down by family, examples being the Hyuuga's Byakugan, The Uchiha's Sharingan,
and the Chinoike Clan's Ketsuryugan. But Kekkei Genkai are also known as the
mixture of two elements.
