The Ash Cloud Technique is the Hiden Technique of the Sarutobi Clan. It allows them to generation and fully manipulate Ash, actually just Chakra-infused Gunpowder, which can be used for multiple effects and purposes. This technique is noted to be highly volatile due to the components that make up the Chakra-infused Ash; the ash has various abilities and can be manipulated in a way similar to how Ninja from Sunagakure control their Sand.
