*arrives in a cloud of smoke*
O_O
Okay little one, I want you to enlighten me. What can you tell me about smoke ninjutsu (without using wiki preferably).
Be more confident Vision-san! That's pretty much the gist of it. Essentially its no different than ink ninjutsu. We use chakra not to create, but to manipulate smoke. The best way of doing this is through the use of a wrist launcher.
*points to the barrel resting beneath my forearm*
As you may remember from the Anime, Kiho had a large multi-chambered wrist launcher. That didn't really fit my style so I settle for the more sleek and sexy single barreled version. The specific mechanics behind the wrist launcher were never explained (as far as I know) but the basic concept is that it can launch smoke bombs or release streams of smoke. Since there didn't appear to be any trigger for this, I assume its controlled through the use of chakra.
So lets start with the basics.
*tosses you a wrist launcher*
Slip that on and fire a smoke bomb.
Good.
I suppose other things can be used. Cigarettes for example can be used to create smoke, though you won't be able to use anything that requires a smoke bomb with that. Kigiro (Kiho's teammate) was also able to use smoke. I'm not quite sure how he made it, but if I remember correctly I think he has a specialized gas-mask which was capable of doing it. There are other specialized ways as well.
*grabs my CW from my hip*
This here is a weapon of mine which I received from the Jaguar God. It is an obsidian mirror and when chakra is applied, it produces smoke.
*applies chakra and causes smoke to emit from the mirror*
Now on to the next part.
Release a small stream of smoke from the gauntlet.
Too much, reduce your chakra flow to the gauntlets.
*grows frustrated*
MAKE THE DAMN SMOKE!
*scary sensei mode* >:O
You're doing too much still. Relax with the dense and thick smoke for suffocating and blinding, we're still working on the basics. Just a smooth and easy stream of smoke.
Good.....good. Much better. Now we need to work on the manipulation of the smoke. I want you to release the smoke in a steady stream and as you do this take control of it with your chakra and mold it into a sphere three feet in diameter.
As you try to do this they all dissipate before reaching their desired shape.
Why are you trying to make three spheres when I asked you to make one?
Try again.
The smoke maintains its form.
Good. ^_^
Now on to the next shape, make a cube with 5ft x 5ft x 5ft dimensions.
