[Genjutsu Training] Seledrile and Dragonfly X

[Scorps]

Well. I would use this in combination with a technique. Say I use Earth Spikes, I genjutsu them while jumping to make them think, Oh, no spikes there xd
The limitation is probably eye contact, especially if the opponent expects genjutsu from you (Dojutsu Users) they will say "Focus on your chin instead of eyes". Which is where I am puzzled as to how to get around that.

You can alter small pieces of landscape to your will, which can disrupt an opponent specific move. Creating a tree where there wouldnt be, so you can hide behind it, and launch techniques from there. Covering up a large hole, where the opponent would then try to run over, and fall in.

Limitations- size of area altered, it seems like this can only do rather small objects, not like altering the entire battlefield, but a specific object, range, eye contact

Im guessing here, but I would say most genjutsu requires eye contact from the opponent.

It doesn't require eye contact, only a small sequence of hand seals. (when eye contact is needed, it states so in the jutsu).

Notice the range. Short Range. You can only perform this technique and most genjutsu in short range of your enemy. To alter his chakra flow you need to be close to it. Actually, if i'm not mistaken, there is only one genjutsu that works short to mid range and its an A-Rank. Cannon one that is. this is the main disadvantage of Genjutsu: Range.

Now, did you understand why genjutsu is short ranged and why in battle that can be bad?

 

[Dragonfly X]

Yeah. If you can't get into range. You can't use it. And if you get into short range, you are preparing yourself for a host of very painful techniques.

 

[Selendrile]

Yes. Risky to use in short range, when other techs (like tai, certain nin) can be performed much faster and deadlier.

Yup. Basically, to have your chakra disturb the flow of your opponents chakra, you need to be close enough.

Now, i will teach you 2 techniques at a time. For each technique i post i'll give you small amount of pointers and a small introduction. What i need you to do is that for each technique post a small analisys reguarding how you think it would be best used, possible counters, advantages, disadvantages and, if you want to, a picture of said technique. Also, you should post any questions you have reguarding the techniques. ^^


Now, before we get into the rest of the techniques, one important question. You have now learned how to affect your opponents chakra flow in order to make them fall into a genjutsu. But, how does one release from a genjutsu? What is the basic principle behind breaking free of a given genjutsu?

 

[Selendrile]

The person affected will perform a kai, or genjutsu release. This usually performed by momentarily halting your flow of chakra, and then apply a force to oneself greater than the one applied to the opponent. Doing this disrupts the hold the opponent has on you, releasing the genjutsu. This usually only works on minor genjutsu.

Also having someone else releasing you, such as having a bijuu also works. Physical pain is also another method.

 

[Scorps]

Waiting on dragonfly ^^

 

[Dragonfly X]

You perform a kai, surging your chakra and canceling the genjutsu, however, I don't believe this works with extremely powerful ones, and most people say "No subs/kai"
Also, you can have someone else flood your system with their chakra like Naruto was brought out of Itachi's with help from Chiyo and Sakura. You can stab yourself in the leg, or cut out your tongue. But that seems like a last result.

Hum, both somewhat missed the basic concept.

To break a genjutsu you must disturb or stop your own chakra flow, making it fluctuate and thus terminating the imposed fluctuation your enemy produced on you.

This can be done in 3 ways.

One is a self imposed disturbance on your chakra flow, also known as Kai. ITs actually a technique which we will learn right after this small explanation.

Second way is through pain. Why? Because pain will disturb the balance between physical and spiritual energies (in this case, the physical part of it) and thus disturbing your own chakra flow as a result.

Third way is the injection of foreign chakra. This can be chakra from another shinobi or summon or can be another form of chakra, like for example, senjutsu or biju chakra.

Questions so far?

 

[Selendrile]

Im good. ^^

 

[Dragonfly X]

Nope. I didn't know Senjutsu chakra could break genjutsu.

 

[Scorps]

Now, i want you to practice in turns using the three releases.

First, selendrile, put dragonfly in the genjutsu you have just learned and dragonfly x, you'll release from it by self inducing pain.

^^

 

[Selendrile]

I silently walk towards Dragonfly and begin to channel my chakra inside of his body. I do this slowly and carefully, to ensure he is not aware of my presence. I use no more chakra than necessary. Then, latching onto him in a quick motion with my chakra, I begin to alter his senses. His sense of smell, begins to detect the resiny scent of pine needles. His sense of sight, sees a large tree begin to sprout from the ground in front of him. His sense of hearing, catches the creaking sound of wood. In front of Dragonfly, stands a fully sprouted tree.

 

[Dragonfly X]

I realize it is not possible for a tree to do that. And I take out a kunai and stab my forearm hard. To prevent any added difficulties in battle. The pain shocks me out of the genjutsu. And the tree disappears.

Excellent both of you! *snaps fingers and you both realize you were already under a genjutsu and that it was but an illusion* Yeah, no way i would let you stab yourselves for real... And yes, i'm that powerful that i can put you under genjutsu like that.

Now, Dragonfly put me under that genjutsu and Selendrile, come here, touch me ( ABOVE THE WAIST!!!!!) and inject a mild amount of chakra into my chakra system to dispel me from the genjutsu.

 

[Selendrile]

You so powerful. wease:

As I wait for Dragonfly to begin the genjutsu, I channel and concentrate a mild dose of chakra into my fingertip, waiting to release you from the technique.

 

[Dragonfly X]

"snickers" Poke his eye xd

I start channeling my chakra out at you. I quickly make you vizualize a hole in the ground. First making it appear in your vision, then I make you smell the dirt and dust. Then I make it more realistic. Altering your sense of hearing, making you think the hole in the ground is really deep as rocks crumble inside it. I then wait for Selendrile to try and dispel my awesome genjutsu xd

 

[Selendrile]

After I see the effects of the genjutsu begin to appear on Sensei's face and body, I focus a mild amount of chakra into my left pointer finger. Then after poking you (in places), I release the chakra in a single rapid burst ,fluctuating your chakra tremendously, enough that it releases you from the genjutsu.

You must be registered for see images

 

[Dragonfly X]

Does genjutsu show on the face? I thought you kept the same expression? Idk.

 

[Selendrile]

I meant it as, he is registering a sudden appearance of a hole, and the surprise/wonder on his face would alert me to the genjutsu.

 

[Dragonfly X]

Ah. I see. Nm then.
