Hiding in Mist Technique

This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a dense mist, reducing visibility within the affected area. The density can be controlled by the user, allowing them to create a mist so thick that even they can't see through it. Though it can't fool the Byakugan, but it can against the Sharingan that it is a most effective technique. Due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan-user will see the mist colored by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.

Trivia

 * When Kakashi uses this in the anime, Itachi states that the mist does not prevent him from using his Sharingan, contradicting the manga and earlier anime scenes.


 * Zabuza uses this in the game, Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2. He hides himself and then attacks a couple of times with his Decapitating Carving Knife.


 * When Kakashi use his Sharingan to copy this technique in the game, Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2, instead of Zabuza's sword he uses kunai infused with his Raikiri.
