Airbending (Earth-1529)

"Air is the element of freedom."

- - Iroh to Naruto Uzumaki

Airbending, also known as Air Style, is the aerokinetic ability to control and manipulate air, and one of the four elemental bending arts. Airbenders are a rare sight, even among shinobi, following the Air Nomad Genocide.

Air is the element of freedom. Airbending shinobi and monks, in the form of the Air Nomads, are known to detach themselves from wordly problems and concerns, instead finding peace and freedom within themselves and the universe to solve the problems in life. Shinobi who can airbend seek spiritual enlightment. The art of airbending was learned by humans from the flying bison.
