Sage Art: Petrifaction Cloud

Description
The Petrification Cloud is a dense fog of Natural Energy or Senjutsu Chakra, akin to the Kirigakure no Jutsu. Despite its appearance, it’s not considered to have the Water Release element connected to it. This fog, due to the natural properties can be used in any environment, bringing with it a singular purpose.

Usage
The appearance and subtle contact with the mist begins infusing foreign entities with Natural Energy. The process isn't a long one, as the mist is swallowed and virtually stored in the target's body. Once the target's body is overrun by the surge of Natural Energy, the lungs of those untrained in Sage Mode become the first part of the body that is turned to stone. If continued to be exposed to the fog, the rest of their body begins to solidify from the inside out. Because its composed of Natural Energy, if the user has the Senninka ability, the fog will stay within their proximity, shrouding them inside. This can be considered a weakness, if the user doesn’t fill a large area with the fog.
