Mist Sensing Technique

The Mist Sensing Technique is unique to Mētsuki Hōzuki and her descendants. She imbued her chakra or a portion of her own essence into the very mist that loiter within Kiri, enabling her to track down any individual that moves around and within the village. She can read the chakra signatures, allowing her to become familiar with the citizens and shinobi, effectively able to detect any intruder at any time. With her ability to adapt to her moist surroundings, Mētsuki uses this to her advantage to strike her unsuspecting targets at any place within or near Kirigakure.

During her tyrannical reign, Mētsuki had been infusing her chakra for a long period with the mist beforehand, allowing her to naturally emit chakra to be absorbed by the moist atmosphere consistently. Which led her to be almost near invincible and difficult to be caught off-guard. Since her chakra signature has been expanded throughout the village, it also meant tracking down Mētsuki was another futile task for a sensor or most dōjutsu users.

Her oldest grandson is capable to use this technique to a smaller degree, but uses it very effectively. Tōgetsu can thicken the mist for the same effects as his grandmother. His skill is proficient enough to detect a former top shinobi from the village the second they step into his mist.
