The Hiding in Frost Technique produces a visually clouding frost by causing the temperature of air to fall below the freezing point, effectively freezing any ambient water vapour in the vicinity. The frost allows the user to become transparent within it. The frost's thickness is presumably controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. Upon being struck with an attack, the user becomes visible. Due to the frost being created with the user's chakra, it is likely that any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the frost coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.
Trivia
- Despite frost being the frozen deposition of water vapor, it is not completely clear whether or not this technique involves Ice Release or is just another form of Water Release, due to the anime's tendency of incorporating ice producing Water Release techniques.
