The user places a hallucinatory darkness on a target's eyesight, causing them to see nothing but black; Tō no Sho likens the sensation to being at the bottom of a deep hole. Because the target cannot see, they are very vulnerable to attack. Although this handicap is dangerous even to the likes of the Third Hokage,[1] it is not insurmountable, as the Third is able to sense attacks to try to defend himself and smell his attackers in order to stage a counterattack. When the Third finally captures the user and begins removing their soul, the darkness disperses, something that Orochimaru, an onlooker, immediately notices.[2]
