Acid Permeation

Utakata blows acidic bubbles from his pipe that burn anything it comes into contact with. The sheer multitude and wide-range it can cover makes avoiding it very difficult.

## Trivia [ ]

- Santōka is the given name of Santōka Taneda ( 種田山頭火 , Taneda Santōka ). He was a haiku poet, well-known for his free style haiku lacking the traditional 5-7-5 syllabic rule and seasonal word. He is called a wandering poet for the many trips he took in his later life as a Buddhist monk, wandering through Japan without being part of a monastery.
- The san in Santōka's name is actually written with the kanji for mountain ( 山 ), but for this technique, it is interpreted as acid ( 酸 ), also pronounced san . Tōka is interpreted as meaning permeation ( 透過 ) instead of head ( 頭 ) and fire ( 火 ), which it means in Santōka's name.
- Although he wasn't shown using this technique in the manga, it was stated he could mix acid in with his bubble ninjutsu. This is also demonstrated in Naruto Mobile .
