This technique is a specialty of Kirigakure ninja. Users fill the air with mist and control its thickness with their chakra. Once the mists are thick enough that opponents cannot see, that in turn means they cannot manage much defence against the user. It has been famously used to perform assassinations; although they also could not see within the mists, they were able to locate their targets based only on the sounds they made. The mists can be created using water from the surroundings, or users can create the mists themselves, which they exhale from their mouths. If the mists are made thick enough, they can cancel out the enhanced vision of Dojutsus. Sensors can still find targets despite the lost visibility.
