The members of the Iburi clan possess a unique ability to turn their bodies into smoke. Even while in their smoke form, they're able to interact with physical objects. Initially, the clan members did not have complete control over the technique, causing them to sometimes transform into smoke without intending to do so. Their ability was partially stabilised, however, through the application of one of Orochimaru's cursed seals on each clan member. While in their smoke form, they are vulnerable to wind, as dispersion while in their smoke form is fatal.
