Newsfile styles
Every ninja beyond the most rookie genin has one or more Styles that they use. These can be Taijutsu fighting styles, such as Rock Lees Iron Fist, or the Hyuga Clans Juuken; or Ninjutsu styles, be they an elemental style like fire style or earth style, or even specialization in more esoteric ninjutsu, like insect control or advanced seals; or they can be a Genjutsu style, be they Itachi's Sharingan based genjutsu or Kurenai's plant themed genjutsu. To use any ninjutsu or genjutsu, you must first know its style. And, to use any Taijutsu above D rank you must be using a fighting style.
Many clans come with access to a Style, but clanless nin or clanned nin without a style will need to purchase a Style with xp. Purchasing your first Taijutsu style, your first Elemental manipulation, or your first Genjutsu style usually costs 4xp. If you are creating your own Taijutsu style, that costs 6 xp. Styles of genjutsu can be wildly variant, and there is no additional charge for coming up with your own theme for your genjutsu. And, while it is possible to apply for a new an unique type of ninjutsu, such a thing will require staff approval, and will likely carry a PP cost in addition to XP.
Each person in Naruto has a certain affinity in an Element. This can be tested with use of a Chakra Paper, an example of someone with an affinity would be Kakashi with his Chidori; This attack is based on his affinity which is Lightning. Another example without giving away spoiler information would be that of Sasuke. He had a Fire affinity and a second affinity to Lightning, hence why explaining his attacks as well.
A person has a natural affinity to an element (Be it if they know it or not), and thus one person can easily apply for a elemental style in the game. Having the Elemental Style (or any fighting style) on your Sheet does not mean that you are an instant master of the element, just that you are able to apply for jutsu in that element.
Some people might have a second affinity, for example Sasuke; However it is unlikely that one would even know about it. Getting a second ninjutsu style, or for that matter a second genjutsu or taijutsu style, will cost PP (see +news skillcosts)
The five elements are:
Fire
Water
Wind
Earth
Lightning
The idea of combination elements do exist, however this is called special abilities and sometimes only linked to some Bloodlines. For example Haku with his Ice. He had the water and Wind affinity (Assumably one in each hand). As well as Yamato with his wood, which in return was a combination of earth and water.
Not all elements are able to be combined, some physically don't go together unless a good reason is made. I have read a few debates on elemental combinations, nobody really can have a dead set answer on them.
You can apply for your styles through Magimaster using the skill application
