So what was the last illusion you learned? I'd like you to perform after you fill out my template.
I would like you to use this template every time you reply to a technique.
Try to be as detailed/descriptive as possible. All you have to do is copy the PHP code.

Also, I will post how all of the techniques work. I want you then, in your own words, to describe to me what you are doing to get the desired result.
Well thats the thing, in my previous genjutsu training we never performed any techniques, we simply went into detail about everything in that rank, talked about them gave mild descriptions on a few ect ect, but we had just finished out C rank area, so i think we would be on the very first B rank
Hmm, unusual, well then show me that you can properly perform these techniques (the C ranks) and we can move on to B ranks, but if you don't properly use them we will have to go the long way.
*creates several clones mid range away from you, surrounding you in a circle* perform the C rank genjutsus on these clones, if they are too far you are free to run closer because Range is the biggest limitation on Genjutsu.
( Genjutsu: Kai ) - Illusion Technique: Release
Rank: C-S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15-40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user does one hand seal to focus and then proceeds to disturb his chakra flow by forcefully stopping it momentarily and then "spiking" his spiritual energy, unbalancing his chakra. This dispels any genjutsu set upon the user except MS Eye Techniques, Paralysis-like Genjutsu and Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant. The effectiveness of this technique is dependent upon the skill of the user. A Jounin rank ninja can dispel Genjutsu up to C-rank. An S-class ninja can dispel Genjutsu up to B-rank. A Sannin rank ninja can dispel Genjutsu up to A-rank. A Sage rank user can dispel Genjutsu up to S-Rank. The user may use this technique through physical contact on others to dispel them from Genjutsu. The technique can only be used once per turn and the user still needs to fully follow the logic as to why he figured out it was an illusion.
Im not going to use your template for this, simply because i don't see the point in it, i'll also be quoting my original answer for Kai from my Previous training.
"The ninja needs to stop the flow of chakra in their body, and then apply an even stronger power to disrupt the flow of the caster's chakra; this is called Genjutsu Dissipation (幻術解, Genjutsu Kai)."
Well from reading that Kai is a method of essentially sending a massive dose of chakra to your brain to to over power your opponents chakra. Although this is an affective means to breaking Genjutsu its not one id rely on myself, Kai requires a single handseal which makes this technique lose alot of its potential. Alot of Genjutsu mades paralyse your opponent and even if you realise that you're in a genjutsu that doesn't remove its paralysing affect. Kai is best used against Genjutsu that are quickly realised and dont have a paralysation affect. I personally would never rely on Kai simply because its also a dead give away to the opponent that'd you've realised its a genjutsu. the entire technique revolves around focusing a large ammount of chakra into a single point(hence the handseal) and then surging it to your brain over powering your opponents influence over your chakra and releasing you from the illusion.

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user casts an illusion on the opponent that makes them believe they are travelling in a straight line, when instead they are moving in circles. This is only effective on moving opponents. If the opponent travels in the circle for hours, they will be exhausted.
Look this is probley one of my favourite Canon genjutsu available, it's generally amazing in all honestly.
Strong points
1. The first strong point is people never expect it. When people run at you during a fight they never think of this genjutsu, in all my moves when i move forward i ALWAYS make sure to state that i move slightly from side to side, that is this techniques greatest strength, peoples ignorance.
2. The second strong point to this one i would say it how easy it is to perform, no handseals and no movement required, tied in with the first Strong point it makes this twice as dangerous.
3. The third strong point is that its not immediately recogniseable. The technique itself removes at least 2-3 seconds off a persons counter time simply because, they don't know. I mean people will always meta game this technique but, those precious seconds wasted in a move can be enough to end it. This is very possibly a match ending genjutsu.
Weak points
1. The first weak point to this genjutsu is how effective it can be. I personally would use this technique as my opponent is charging towards me, by waiting for the very last second i can cause them to divert and i can execute my move. But this is dangerous mostly because of the main way people break genjutsu, Nagashi. It makes this very risky when using it this way as a simple nagashi can also end a fight for you.
2. The second weak point is how easily it can accually be countered. As strong a genjutsu it is its so easily recognised by simply stating the smallest detail in your move, by simply stating you slightly zigzag while running it will essentially make this genjutsu pointless and extremely easy to recognise. A fatal flaw in my opinion to a near perfect genjutsu.
3. I accually cannot think of a third weak point sorry.
Combinations-strategies: As i said in my strong points, this is most effective when the opponent is close, by timing it perfectly you can cause your opponent to veer off suddenly before impact occurs and being this close with a weapon drawn it would be way to easy ti simply be head your opponent before he even realised the genjutsu. Other then that there arn't many combo's this can be used with as it mainly revolves around your opponent running towards you.
Ways to counter: As i already stated in my weakness' this is the simplist genjutsu to counter by using common knowledge. By simply stating you move slightly side to side when running it makes this genjutsu pretty much pointless. Although what i understand of this genjutsu, if you didn't state this then another way to recognise it would be your opponent is no longer getting closer to you, as you're running towards him it would suddenly stop moving towards you indicating that something is wrong.
( Genjutsu: Jinmon ) - Illusion Technique: Interrogation
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary

Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:30
Description: The user of this technique, upon casting on a stationary opponent with physical contact with them, is able to convince the enemy to give away information. However, this will only work on ninja two ranks lower and below than the caster.
Look in all honesty im not going to use your template for this one either. It's the most pointless technique in the Rp. Not only is getting close enough to your opponent in our RP almost impossible but accually executing this technique is near impossible as well. As soon as someone hits Kage hell even sannin this becomes useless as it only works on 2 levels below. Perhaps use it on a chuunin or an S-jounin, but really if you're going to use this its for pure RP and not for an accuall battle. I dont think this has any strong points and its weak points are limitless in our RP.
( Genjutsu: Jigoku Gouka ) - Illusion Technique: Hell Fire
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points:N/A
Description: The user casts an illusion where the opponent sees a huge ball of fire descending from the sky and enveloping its target.
Another great jutsu, but not as great as sly mind affect. This is pretty good in the sense it can waste an opponents move and it can also be a good move to buy some time, but its still not as good as others. Its easily countered and easily recognised in all reality it requires 5 handseals. I mean thats alot of handseals for a basic genjutsu.
Strong points
Can waste an opponents move, as the technique is accually felt on the user, by this i mean as the fireball gets closer the opponent can feel the heat coming towards them giving it a much more realistic feel and easily wasting an opponents move.
Secondly, It's a giant ass fireball, the most logical counter is water, by following up with lightning to the ground you could almost eletrocute the opponent by using his own water against him. Not to mention after the water hits that still wont break the illusion so the opponent will still need to break the genjutsu costing precious seconds
Thirdly, the sheer size of this technique is a strong point. The jutsu itself is massive, like a meteorite coming straight for you. This removes an opponents chance of thinking they can simply run to get away or use another jutsu, by making them forcfully counter this with another technique can give you the upper hand in the battle
Weak points
The first weak point, 5 freaking handseals, i mean for a low rank genjutsu thats alot of handseals, this alone without much explanation is a weakness
Secondly, its pretty easy to counter, i mean merge into the earth would escape it. Basic water jutsu would break it. As it has no real fire rank an opponent can use D rank water to recognise this technique. So in reality pretty easy to counter and recognise all in 1 instance.
Thirdly, the size itself can be a trigger, this jutsu is massive as i stated, if im within its range its a blantant obvious reminder that its a genjutsu, theres no way im going to use a massive fireball like that on myself, i think that alone would be enough to distinguish a genjutsu.
Combinations-strategies: I think the best combo for this would be with the Hidden mist jutsu, by removing the opponents eye sight of the handseals it can make this even more deadlier, by removing their sight of you they can't tell if you're in the jutsu range so it makes it even more believeable in my opinion
Ways to counter: Simple low rank water jutsu, as soon as it passed through you will know its gen and can easily break with a kunai or biting your lip. Another way to counter this would be the handseals, as its just handseals and no movement its kina hard to believe that a massive fireball just appears, it doesn't come down slowly it appears in the sky and comes towards you, another tell tail sign of genjutsu
( Genjutsu: Kasumi no Jutsu ) - Illusion Technique: Mist Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates an illusionary clone that charges towards the enemy, jumps, then explodes in a cloud of cherry blossom petals which results in confusing the opponent and obscuring their vision, leaving them open for attack.
A simple jutsu, make a clone run towards the opponent explode into cherry blossoms, pretty sht if you ask me.
Strong points
Honestly, there are no real strong points to this, its the same as interrogation, very pointless genjutsu
Weak points
Preparation. My god the prep time for this tech is insane. Create mist, make a clone, protect the clone, cause it to explode and then attack, way to much prep time for such little results.
So easy to counter, doesn't even require recognition to counter this, a simple S rank fir etechnique makes this obselete.
being so easy to counter is another weakness on its own, i mean you use this after all that prep time, they use S rank fire, not only do you need to stop the gen but now you need to defend against S rank fire, a weak point in my opinion
Combinations-strategies: Like i said, i dont see the point in this one. I mean by the time you prepped this jutsu, your opponent would be ontop of you, i guess you could use it with a thunder jutsu from above or a silent jutsu from below using the confusion to your benefit, but in all honestly i just don't see this as a viable jutsu.
Ways to counter: Simple S rank fire, S rank water, S rank lightning, any jutsu really, by aiming it at the clone its so simple to see its a genjutsu, protecting the clone isn't worth it in the end.
Sorry if i didn't do exactly what you wanted. its 1:30am and doing this fried my brain so sorry.
Nah thats ok, its C rank gen its not like you need to write an essay for them but I can't just nod and skip a whole rank y'know?
Now then, B ranks. You know of Layering Genjutsu?
(Magen: Nijū Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu) Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique
Type: Supplmentary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will do a sequence of 3 handseals, putting his opponents under a double layered Genjutsu. The user is able to create false surroundings to fool his targets, much like the simpler version of the technique. However, the illusion is in fact layered. If the opponent manages to release the first one, he will then feel the effects of the second illusion. If, for example, the first illusion is that of a desert and the second that of a forest, upon releasing the first one, the opponent will see the desert fade away while the forest appears around him, making him think he dispelled the illusion while in essence he is still caught in one. Each illusion is equivalent to C-Rank and both are casted at the same time. While normal releases will release only one illusion at a time, a strong enough pain or an external source of chakra can dispel both at the same time.
Perform 3 hand seals, and induce two separate C rank illusions that affect the sense of vision to change the terrain. Each one being different then the other, so for example they will see the ground turn into a swamp, and then they do a weak release to break a C rank genjutsu, then they'd see the swamp fade away into a second false terrain like a desert.
Well first up its essentially 2 gens in 1 move, which is a strong point imo
Another strong point is that it is harder to recognise, if used with another terrain ultering jutsu that requires 3 handseals it will increase the believability of the genjutsu.
Lastly, the ability to have someone still trapped in a genjutsu even after they have broken it once with a kai methord or a basic kunai to the leg is pretty good.
Weak points
Well it requires 3 handseals which can be a dead giveaway, like swamp of the underworld is only 1 hand, so by doing 3 to create a swamp would be a bit of a give away.
Its only a b rank jutsu, so a simple nagashi which is a regular gen counter is easily used to break this illusion.
Can't think of a third.
Combinations-strategies: Well i was thinking perhaps using Hellfire technique, many people arn't aware that the gen accually requires 5 handseals which can be an advantage, as they counter the fireball can use terrain ultering to create a swamp, as the opponent won't be watching you but the fireball instead its quite believable that you have infact made a swamp moments after they stopped the fireball
Ways to counter: Nagashi all the way, its fast simple and easy to execute.
Swamp is two, not one (unless you have a main earth affinity)
( Konoha-Ryū: Yanagi ) - Leaf Ninja Art: Willow
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 35
Description: The user waves their sword back and forth, which when seen by the target locks them in a genjutsu which causes them to hallucinate multiple waving arms. The movement resembles that of a willow tree blowing in the wind. With the enemy off guard, the user is free to cut them down.
Take out a sword (or make one with elements if you don't carry a real one) and wave your sword back and forth up and down while inducing your chakra into the target, they will see the waving quickly turn into multiple waving arms resembling a willow tree's branches blowing in the wind. When shown this was actually quite distracting and followed up by a quick and strong kenjutsu attack.
Can quickly and easily interupt an opponent by confusing them
Once used leaves opponent wide open for an attack
Easy as to execute
Weak points
Its short range, which means its very dangerous to use considering the most likely counter option.
The waving of the sword can be pretty obvious signs of a genjutsu
Can't think of another
Combinations-strategies: As the description states, use it when the opponent gets close and cut them down all in 1 action, nothing really special
Ways to counter: Nagashi, not only will this counter the gen, but if the opponent isn't already prepared for this kind of counter it can essentially end the match
( Genjutsu: Ingemame Ketsugō Sakkaku ) - Illusion Technique String Bean Binding Illusion
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: Similar to Illusion Technique: Tree Binding Death, where the user first disappears, while the target sees several bean vines growing from the ground. These vines bind the target body, lifting them into the air. Then a bean pod rises from the ground to reveal the user, ready to strike. In reality, the opponent is immobilized by the illusion, allowing the user to strike.
Control your opponent's vision to make it seem like you fade out of reality and then add in to control of their sense of touch and hearing, and cause several bean vines to sprout from the ground and wrap around their body and lift them into the air. Finish this up by creating a bean pod that lifts up on more of these vines in front of the immobilized target that reveals you, where you can then attack them.
Remember to perform the jutsu as well like you would use it in a fight so I know you can properly describe it. *makes clone for you to cast the illusion on*
No handseals which is always an added bonus
Immobilises, so that removes kai from the breaking method
it's a mid range technique so you don't need to worry about being nagashi'd when using it
Weak points
Bean sprouts are kind of a strong sign of genjutsu
The fact they hold and then you randomly appear inside one makes it also very obvious
Once again, Nagashi makes this pointless, especially if used in short range
Combinations-strategies: Why do you make me write up a move....
As i stand before my opponent inside the bloody mist(ima go with natural mist in Kiri) i simply smile towards him, as my smile fades as does my body seemingly vanishing into the mist before him, as soon as i vanished bean sprouts begin to rise up from the ground, they wrap around my opponents legs and arms holding them far apart, a 5th bean sprout wraps around the opponents neck threatening to snap it at any second. With the fear of the beansprouts still fresh a 6th vine rises up, as it reaches full high the bulb on the top opens up revealing myself, without wasting even a second the illusion of myself inside the bulb draws its sword and drives it through the clones heart causing him to feint from the damage he thinks he has receieved
Ways to counter: Well because it binds that removes move full body surges like kai and Earth spear, so it only really leaves nagashi to break this unless you have sharingan
( Magen: Hanarasui ) - Demonic Illusion: Flower Head Death
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short- Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40 due to stress on the mind
Description: The user will trap the target within an illusion where the opponent appears to be trapped in a large flower bud which then explodes. The opponent is made to believe that an explosion actually occurred and collapses, believing himself to be injured. The resulting stress on his mind causes damage.
Make the opponent think that he is trapped in a large flower bud, then cause that flower to explode and make it realistic enough that his mind thinks his body has actually been injured and feigns damage to him to the point of making him collapse.
No handseals which is always a bonus
Mid range so no risk of being hurt by a possible nagashi
If successful can end the fight as it causes "death"
Weak points
Seems like a wood style based technique, so if using a canon bio, people will easily call "he doesnt know wood release" Nagashi.
Esily countered once again with Nagashi, its viable seems you are restricted
Cant think of another
Combinations-strategies: Well i tihnk the best way to make this believeable would be to slam your hands on the ground, by doing tihs it would appear as though you've accually used a jutsu, so that'd remove a little more doubt of the genjutsu. Even though every single person will just Nagashi out of this, by doing that it could lead to an opponent using Added weight jutsu to try petrify the bud. So by doing another action prior can make this a much more believeable genjutsu. Also if you have a shadow clone you can use a water technique around the user, as nagashi is an unfocussed lightning it should infact eletrocute themselves with the water.
Ways to counter: Unfortunatly as usual a simple nagashi will break this being only B rank, but that can always be used to your advantage, especially if you have a shadow clone.
Well it wouldn't cause death, only injury but with a quick follow up they are finished anyway.
( Magen: Jubaku Satsu ) - Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user makes five handseals, and appears to dissolve into a mist. Once they stealthily approach the target and get within short-range, the opponent feels completely immobilized, and believes they have been bound by a fast-growing tree and are unable to move. The user then appears as if they emerge from the tree to attack the target. In reality, the target is immobilized, allowing the user to strike or interrogate them.
Another you won't like, form five seals *demonstrates* and cause your opponent to think you have dissolved into mist. After you vanish they feel a tree quickly grow and wrap it's trunk around them (used on Itachi when they fought the konoha jounin) then it appears like you grow out of the tree over them and strike them or interrogate them. With the tree binding already in place you could forego the last part of the genjutsu and attack them another way to make this not so slow and useless.
You're right, i don't like this haha, i hate anything thats even remotely wood related for a genjutsu.
Strong points
Can work nicely for the illusion if already in a mist styled situation
Immobilsation means no Kai which is also good.
Having a physcial tree binding them could i guess add to the illusion of a wood jutsu.
Weak points
5 handseals cmon...
If theres no mist again it'd look like a gen, also you need to get up close(at least it sounds like it)
Nagashi could work against you while you're close
Combinations-strategies: Meh honestly, i'd never use this so i can't really think of any combos
Ways to counter: nagashi of coarse, quite risky as well
Yeah short range to even start it, you don't have to attack them the normal way after inducing the illusion though, I have used it before where I make the tree and throw bomb tags or a ninjutsu instead.
We'll do a two for one and finish B ranks, sorry for the delay
( Genjutsu: Oshitsubusu Hebi Kubire ) - Illusion Technique: Crushing Snake Constriction
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user puts the opponent into a genjutsu which has snakes appear beneath the opponent to constrict them and with the users command, they crush the opponent. In reality, the opponent is immobilized and takes damage due to the stress on his mind.
Send chakra into them to make it seem like snakes appear near them in various ways (for example I used it on a deidara user so that when he reached into his clay bags their were snakes hidden in them) but generally they appear by bursting out of the ground or forming out of the air below the target and wrap up and around the target's body in some way to bind them and you can cause the snakes to squeeze hard enough to simulate damage to the target's mind on command.
( Genjutsu: Hanaoka ) - Illusion Technique: Flower Hill
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user summons up illusionary purple flowers from the ground in front of them, damaging enemies with a chance to paralyze them.
Note: Paralysis lasts one turn.
Short range again (annoying i know) summon several purple flowers on the ground in front of them and then cause them to explode which may paralyze them for a turn (I was looking for a picture of this for a clearer image but can't find any atm not that you'll use this anyway xd)
The way the user can make the snakes appear differs entirely for each turn, a genjutsu which can we swapped around and used in several different ways is good
Its a paralysing genjutsu so that means Kai is not an option
is a mid range gen, so it can be executed without having to worry about being to close for -cough- nagashi-cough-
Weak points
If used on a canon bio from Konoha they will most likely deduce the whole " oro and kabuto only snake users" excuse to break it.
Easily broken with nagashi just like every other genjutsu
if not described properly on how the snakes come about the opponent will easily be able to deduce its a genjutsu
Combinations-strategies: This is most likely a gen id use with a summon or a shadow clone, while enducing the gen i'd use some form of underground based technique like fire pillars or maybe even water biting explosion, this means if they user nagashi to counter it, they will die
Ways to counter: Nagashi.... earth spear, light weight jutsu, ect ect any body surge above B rank
Strong points
By picking the right terrain this can become an unstoppable genjutsu.
yeah i got nothing
Weak points
Short range
if you're in like a rocky terrain its gunna be pretty obvious unless you're a wood user
Runs a high risk of nagashi hitting you for the counter
Combinations-strategies: i guess i could use it with Hidden mist jutsu, if you could get behind your opponent and had a way not to get pwned by a nagashi you could appear behind them trap in a gen and then execute a killing blow
Ways to counter: Any full body surge, Kai, even pain method
Earth Spear is B rank itself so it wouldn't break B rank gen
Theirs only 3 A rank gen and no S ranks you can learn and since I've been doing it in pairs anyway we might as well just finish it now.
( Magen: Chō Shinka ) - Demonic Illusion: Butterfly Evolution
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user makes one handseal, placing the opponent in a genjutsu. The user then tosses a large number of explosive tags at the opponent. To the opponent, it looks as if they are countless butterflies. The opponent then believes they are sinking into the ground, in reality making them immobilized; this allows the user to place one final exploding tag on their forehead before detonating all the tags simultaneously.
Form the Tiger seal and cause the opponent to think they are sinking underground letting only their head above ground and you throw out a large number of explosive tags that, due to the genjutsu, looks like you summoned butterflies all over the place. Normally you put a bomb tag on their forehead and then set it off and cause a huge chain explosion. But you can throw a bomb kunai at them, send in a clone or whatever to set it off, or just use another attack like fire which will set the tags off in the process.

Form one seal and cast a wide scale genjutsu that causes all opponents to see white feathers floating down from the sky which slowly puts them to sleep in the course of one turn.

Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user makes one handseal, causing the opponent to believe they have been trapped in a world of infinite darkness, where their sense of sight is useless. It is capable of affecting multiple targets within range. However, it does not negate their other senses.
Form the Tiger seal and cause an opponent to see their world plunge into darkness (starting under them and spreading out quickly) it affects anyone within range of the one you cast it on (short) so clones, SNK bros that are fused, inuzaka/dog etc)
This is one of the most spammed Genjutsus so get used to dealing with it. It only affects your vision but not your other 4 senses.
Mid range
thats about it, seems like a shite genjutsu tbh
Weak points
very obvious
sinking and then butterflies...thats just lame
Anything that really requires explosive tags is a weak genjutsu oimo
Combinations-strategies:I guess if i had to use this id use hidden mist prior, at least that way the butterflies would come from the mist and not just kind of appear
Ways to counter: Being A rank its more annoying, so super light weight or some serious damage to your arm or something idk
Strong points
Put the opponent to sleep which is kind of cool
Used with the right combo you can make this as a genjutsu that never actually happened
thats all i got
Weak points
Short range is just lame
Unless you have a bird summon of some sorts it makes the gen a little obvious
Even if nagashi didn't break it, you'd still be susciptble to it
Combinations-strategies: If i had a bird summon, i'd make him fly over head and then cause the feathers to fall, at least this way it'd look like rogue feathers falling from my bird
Ways to counter: Same as above, Super light weight, or strong pain
Strong points
A sudden removal of sight leaves the opponent vulnerable
low ammount of handseals
Mid range is also good
Weak points
Seems mildly obvious
the handseal is a tad give away
It has no real benefit, only removes sight <_<
Combinations-strategies: Well, id most likely use this with a silent jutsu like one of ym dark techniques, id only use it if i had a clone active though
Ways to counter: Well it doesnt need to be countered, it only removes eye sight and its not that hard to fight without your eyes, but kai would be the most obvious way
