A wide-range genjutsu (広範囲幻術, kōhan'i genjutsu, literally meaning: wide-range illusion technique), whereby Gengetsu, in tandem with his Giant Clam, is able to manifest realistic mirages by manipulating the light reflecting off the steam that it produces.[1]

Overview[]

As it is impossible for observers to distinguish from the real thing through normal methods, this technique is ideal for concealing the actual location of either individual, resulting in confusion amongst the opposition as their attacks are rendered ineffective as they attempt to ascertain the pair's true positions. Because the clam can continually produce steam from its siphons,[2] Gengetsu's illusions can last indefinitely.

According to Gengetsu, the only method to end the technique is to defeat the real clam, stopping it from producing steam. But as the creature itself remains camouflaged within the mirage, this is no easy task, even if the summoner is providing beneficial advice. While the technique is in effect, both Gengetsu and the clam cannot be sensed through traditional means, with the exception of contact type methods.[3]
