(Katon: Moya No Besubiusu) Fire Release: Smog of Vesuvius
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20 10 ( -5 per turn )
Damage: N/A
Description: By spending twenty chakra the user will be capable of activating an ability that will allow them to alter future fire techniques that they create. Fire techniques altered by Smog of Vesuvius will produce an immense amount of thick, black smoke as they burn that will waft out in large, vision obscuring and light blocking plumes. The released smoke is purely fire based, being made up of fine particles of ash rendered inert by the users chakra, which will both haze the air and settle over structures in thick, powdery black layers. The ash, while fairly hot, possesses no offensive capabilities of its own, and as a result largely exists for diversionary measures. For opponents the smoke will produce a distinct, acrid smell that can interfere with their olfactory senses - just as the smoke can inhibit their vision in a similar manner to Kirigakure’s mist (but potentially worse on account of the smokes dark color), however for the user (and their allies, such as summons and animal companions) the smoke will be purely scentless.
Notes:
- The heat of the expended ash won't affect the user in any way.
- The user has to expend an additional 5 chakra when choosing to apply this effect to a fire technique.
- Smog of Vesuvius lasts for 5 turns or until deactivated, can only be used three times, and works with Fire and Fire KG/CE variants that could logically produce it (i.e lava) though the user cannot manipulate this smoke at all.
- Those with a fire specialty can change the color of the smoke, but only along the grey-scale (so from white to black) or to shades of red/orange
