Water Release: Dark Fog

Water Release: Dark Fog
This jutsu can be used by shinobi other than Shichi Shizuken, however, most might consider this to be an inferior jutsu to the Hiding in Mist Technique.

Technique Description
Similar to the Hiding in Mist Technique, also known as the “Hidden Mist Jutsu,” Water Release: Dark Fog is Shichi Shizuken’s own adaptation.

The fog is a very dark gray color and limits visibility even more than its parent jutsu, however the coverage area of the jutsu is muchless than that of the mist technique. Additionally, while the mist technique can be formed in the air or produced from the a nearby water source, Water Release: Dark Fog can only be produced from the mouth.

Dark Fog can be used offensively or defensively as a substitute for a smoke bomb if need be, but at it's core, it's a supplementary jutsu used to enhance the user's effectiveness. Similar to the Hiding in the Mist Technique, the Byakugan can see through the fog while the Sharingan and Rinnegan cannot, except for rare exceptions with very powerful sharingan users.
