Shifting Clouds

is a highly resourceful technique crafted by Koyomi Hyūga that takes advantages over her self-proclaimed mastery of Wind Release to not only conceal but to merge herself within the air itself and to reappear in a different location in the form of nonbeing movement. This technique utilizes her Kindō Byakugan to flawless shift places with various sources of space occupied by air to gain an upper hand on the opponent. The technique does not require sight to effectively shift, but it requires a predefined location within the user’s viewing range. This means that Koyomi can essentially shift into any location within her viewing range which is perhaps at the apex when concerning raw visual prowess.

Usage
This technique allows Koyomi to instantly shift places with soothing flows constant wind currents which garners an immense amount of confusion from the opponent. Shifting Clouds remains to be a highly coveted and desired technique from those that survived an encounter with Koyomi and conversely seen the technique in action. Koyomi utilizes to instantly shift places with pockets of wind that can be in the immediate area or those from unknown distances away (which require her Kindō Byakugan to see such distances). By combining the technique with her Dustless Bewildering Cover, she can appear within any location of the battlefield without having a detectable form or chakra signature. During one of her missions in the, Koyomi applied the combination of the two to appear behind enemy lines within mere moments, insensible in all regards. However, there is a cool-down period for this technique even though the chakra cost is minimal. Koyomi likens this to a more advanced version of the Body Replacement Technique though instead of using an object such as a log, Koyomi uses Wind Release along with her Kindō Byakugan to perform a similar maneuver. By projecting her chakra as a small layer around herself, Koyomi can utilize the technique to counter nearly an offensive attack as she transferred to an alternate location. During close combat, Koyomi can utilize the Shifting Clouds overlap her own personal space causing her to briefly flicker as an opponent’s attack seamlessly passes through her though only for a split second.
