This technique was developed by Shiroikumo Suzuyoshi, one of the Hidden Cloud's elite
ninja, for pure assassination purposes. It creates a cloud of white fog around the user so
condensed with Chakra that any creature currently Sensing Chakra will be alerted of the
cloud's presence, the Chakra Signature of the user and be able to spot it as though it was a
Strong Chakra Signature. Once the cloud is created, it does not follow the user, should he
move outside its bound or simply within them. The white fog obscures all sight,
darkvision included, beyond 5 feet.
A creature within 5 feet has a 20% miss chance due to concealment, while creatures
farther than that benefit from total concealment (50% miss chance, must locate the square
occupied by the target by other means than sight). As long as the user, and the user alone,
has the Sense Chakra ability active and remains within the fog cloud, he may locate any
creature and object within it without the aforementioned penalties and will be able to
attack and move normally as though he possessed a sixth sense. By concentrating for a
move-equivalent action, the user may also increase the radius of the cloud by 5 feet in
either length or height, up to a maximum of 30-feet wide and 20-feet tall.
The cloud can be dispersed in 5 rounds by a moderate wind (11+ mph), or instantly
dispersed by a strong wind (21+ mph) in 1 round.

Using this technique, the user creates a wall of water taking any shape he wishes it to,
even molding it into a cylindrical shape around him. It is used to shield himself from
several effects and techniques, and cannot be modified after the technique was used. Any
creature behind the wall is protected against any ranged or thrown attacks, cone, line and
rays effect that come from an outside source, but not ballistic or siege weapons, though
they affected by a 20% miss chance from having to aim through a thick wall of water.
The wall can offer cover and protection as well as any object could. Any creature
attempting to pass through the wall will find it an impossible task unless it succeeds a
Break check (DC 25), in which case the wall will be breached long enough to allow the
creature to pass through. This defense can be bypassed if the attack come from upward. If
a Raiton technique was used with the wall as its target or in its area of effect, it will deal
1d4 point of electricity damage per rank of the technique used to creatures making direct
contact with it for 1d4+1 rounds.
Material Focus: A small (at least 100 liters) source of water nearby.
