[Genjutsu] Controlling lucid dreams with GrimReaper and the Knight :)

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.

I gather raw chakra in my body. I then, perform a string of 3 handseals in conjunction, successfully casting an illusion on the target. This causes him to think the terrain has changed into a water source. As he tries to put himself out of the Genjutsu, I cast another layer of Genjutsu, this time which makes him think that the water source has changed into a pool of lava, taking him aback with shock, giving me ample time to use combos.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu:As the opponent is casted in the genjutsu, I would use Doton: Ganchuso to crush him and then use Raiton: Gian Yari to electrocute him.

Your reasoning on why you would deduce it to be a Genjutsu: Simple. If there is a water source created, certain sounds emerge from it and when the pool of lava is created, it gives off a certain sound, and the opponent can also feel the heat of the pool, and if these factors are not present, it's obvious that the opponent is in a genjutsu.

Your preferred method of release:Honestly, I don't know. How do you break out of a layered genjutsu?

Questions about the technique (Optional): How do you break out of a layered genjutsu?

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.

*Borrows sword*
I hold the sword by its tip with both hands firmly. Once I have established a firm grip, I wave it back and forth, and as the opponent looks toward it, he slowly falls into the Genjutsu wherein he sees several waving arms.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu:Once finished trapping the opponent in the genjutsu, I would use Water Release: Starch Syrup Capture Field to trap the opponent and then follow with Mokuton: Sashiki No Jutsu to impale him.

Your reasoning on why you would deduce it to be a Genjutsu: When the sword is waved, it makes a certain sound, along with the air being blown when the sword is swung. Also, I would check if the hands had a shadow or not.

Your preferred method of release: Pain release. I would use Doton:Ganchuso and pierce my leg to inflict a small wound on it, to put myself out of the genjutsu.

To break a layered Genjutsu, you simply have to inflict enough pain or use a high enough chakra surge to break the stronger Genjutsu e.g. if I'm caught in two genjutsus, an A-Rank and a B-Rank, I just need to inflict enough pain to break an A-Rank or use an S-Rank chakra surge to escape both illusions.

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.

Now, I'd like you to place my clone in a Genjutsu in which he sees snakes appear beneath him, quickly coiling around him before constricting with him with enough force to crush his body. In reality, he'll be paralyzed and will take damage due to mental stress.

Key Points: Its recommended that you use this jutsu in a grassy or rocky landscape, whilst the opponent is positioned firmly on the ground. If you cast this on a mid-air opponent, he/she will immediately realize its a Genjutsu.

I also strongly advise against using this jutsu on a water source since the snakes will not disturb the water as they rise up, meaning not a single ripple, spray of water or splashing sound will occur. Vigilant shinobi will see right through this, less attentive ones will overlook it.

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.

I gather raw chakra in my body, as I send it towards my opponent's brain, disrupting his brain waves. This puts him in an illusion, where he sees several snakes appear beneath him, which surround him, with my command, restricting his movement and crushing him. This causes him to be immobilized in the real world, and causes severe mental damage to him.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu: I would skew the opponent using Doton: Ganchuso and then put him into the genjutsu. Then, I would use Kirin as a flashy and finishing move on the opponent, as defending from Kirin is almost impossible.

Your reasoning on why you would deduce it to be a Genjutsu: Pretty simple. The snakes would make a hissing noise, as well as when they would surround the user, the user's touch would be affected.

Your preferred method of release:Kai Release would suffice as it's quick and useful.

Releasing that Genjutsu is actually more complex than that. I'll show you an example of how I once reasoned it was an illusion.

"As snakes suddenly appear from beneath the earth, Kakuzu notices no holes created for the purpose of burrowing out of the ground, no white smoke to signify a summoning nor any vibrations/sounds created by the snakes from emerging. They neither hiss, nor disturb the ground (scatter dust due to their movement) or even generate sounds as they begin to move across his clothes. It was pretty much a pathetic attempt at using Genjutsu. Terribly concealed, terribly executed. In response to the technique, Kakuzu coats nearly his entire body in earth (excluding his hands) and extends a sharp spear inwards to cut into his left thigh in order to deal enough pain to break the illusion."

Note: Paralysis lasts one turn.

Focus your chakra into my clone once against to summon purple illusionary flowers from the ground in front of him, which serve to paralyze through unknown means.

Key Points: Personally, I hate everything about this particular technique. Using flowers in a battle feels to feminine, the lack of logic behind the techniques creation and the fact its limited to short range all make this a useless technique to me. Perhaps you'll find better use for it, who knows.

Type: Supplementary/Offensive

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.

For this 2nd technique, I want you to perform a single handseal and place the opponent in a Genjutsu, before tossing large number of explosive tags in their direction. The genjutsu will make the papertags look like butterflies, before the opponent sees himself sinking into the ground at a rapid rate, causing him to be immobilized in reality. After all of that, you will place a single exploding tag on my clone's forehead, before detonating all of the tags simulatenously.

Key Points: I won't say much, since describing this technique is your job. However, all I'll say is, there are many ways to realize this is a genjutsu throughout the course of the technique.

Note: Paralysis lasts one turn.

I build up raw chakra inside my body and focus on it your clone, disrupting his brain wave. This results in him being put in an illusion, wherein purple illusionary flowers are summoned from the ground, which paralyze him.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu: As this paralyzes the opponent, I would trap him with Earth Flow Wave and prepare Kirin and finish him off with that.

Your reasoning on why you would deduce it to be a Genjutsu: I guess, the summoned purple flowers would give off a particular smell, as well as they would form shadows, which makes me realize that I was in a genjutsu.

Your preferred method of release: Earth spears would suffice to cut through the flowers.

I gather chakra and perform a single handseal, focusing my chakra on your clone, putting him in a genjutsu. I then take out a large amount of explosive tags and toss it at him with full speed. The thrown tags look like butterfiles to the opponent and he believes he's sinking into the ground, wherein in the real world, he's immobilized. I then take out one final exploding tag and place it on my opponent's forehead, which causes all the tags to explode together, killing him.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu: Earth Release: Devouring Earth would suffice. It has the ability to crush and kill the opponent, so imo it's a good combo.

Your reasoning on why you would deduce it to be a Genjutsu: I would notice if the butterflies flapped their wings or if the opponent performed any handseals or placed his hand on the ground, as it's obvious, that would be a summoning technique.

Your preferred method of release: The moment I deduce that it's a genjutsu, I have no time to react as the exploding tags would be placed on me, so I would use hardening armor to defend myself from the blasts.

Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: Similar to Illusion Technique: Tree Binding Death, the user will do the Dog → Hare → Snake → Ram hand seals and trigger an illusion where the user first disappears, while the target sees several bean vines growing from the ground around and beneath him. 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.

For this first technique, I want you to string together the following sequence of handseals *displays* before utilizing your chakra to trigger an illusion which first gives the appearance of you suddenly disappearing into thin air. After that, you will force your target to see several bean vines growing from the earth beneath and around him, the organic tendrils quickly launching him into the air before wrapping around him, leaving them paralyzed in reality. Suddenly, a bean pod will emerge from the ground, which will open up to reveal you, leaving you ready to strike down your foe.

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.

Now, I want you to trap your target in an illusion which causes him to see a large flower bud growing out of the floor, closing around him from all sides to trap him. Once he's captured, the flower bud will suddenly explode and your target will collapse, due to the intensive mental stress he's forced to undergo.

Alright. So; being a old student of mine, I know you are very capable with the template, so we don't need to use that. We can use this other method, if you'd like:

But I'll go over it none the less.

So idea is simple, I will post the techniques and I will ask you to analyse them for me, for example: how to use it in battle, how to counter it, what is good about this technique (pros), what is bad about it (cons), what you like about it and etc. I think you pretty much get what I mean. The "How to perform" - part is a bit, not needed for, but you are more than welcome to perform it, if you don't understand the technique. It's better if we focus on the important things, like actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use it in a fight. Only filling the template is boring and sometimes not fun. I want to make this training as enjoyable as I can, I know templates can be boring and dull at times.

Something below are basic guidelines to use:

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.

Similar to the last technique you learnt, but with small changes, as you just disappear I'd think like the latter. That starts the genjutsu, the target will see bean vines grow from the ground, and grabbing the target lifting them up into the air, then a bean pod emerges from the ground showing the caster, about to start the target. Seems what rather again obvious imo. I wouldn't use it, but if you were in a area with plants that big you could maybe pull it off.

 

[Naruto.]

Thanks. I wouldn't prefer the template. Analyzing the tech would be fine.

+ How to be used in a battle - Simple. Trapping the opponent beforehand would work. Once he's trapped, the Genjutsu could be inflicted upon him, and then as he is paralyzed, the user could finish him off with False Darkness or basic Kenjutsu.

+ How to be countered in a battle - I would first see if there are any shadows given off by the bean pods. If there aren't any, I would use Nagashi surge to put myself out of the illusion.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages - Good for immobilizing the opponent and a quick attack could finish him off. Disdavantages would be, that the opponent could easily deduce it if used on a terrain where the soil doesn't support the growth of bean pods. Also, it requires 4 handseals to perform so it takes a little time to perform.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique - Quite an okay technique. Nothing really special.

With this one all you need to do is look at your target or clap your hands, either one. Once you do one of those two, your target will be placed in the gen, he will see snakes appear from the ground, and with your command the snakes start to crush and hold back the target from attacking you, and crushing them also. The target will take metal damage. This is one of the more used techniques, since it is handy and less obvious.

Okay so with this one, you wave your sword back and forth, by doing this, this initiates the genjutsu, the target will believe they are seeing multiple waving arms, using this technique places the target off guard so you can cut him down, downsides about this technique, requires a sword, and the range is meh. But could be handy here and there, I've never used it so I have yet to correctly get the full potential out of this technique.

So; this one, I think you just look at the target and thus places them in this gen, this technique will make the target think they are trapped in a large flower bud, which blows up. The target will think the explosion actually happening; leaving the target with metal damage on them. I personally find this technique really, really obvious.

Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20

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.

+ How to be used in a battle - Well, this could be used to deceive the opponent by making him think you're attacking, whereas you're just swinging your sword back and forth. Nice use as a Kenjutsu feint.

+ How to be countered in a battle - Actually, very easy. By seeing the opponent swinging his sword back and forth, I come to know about the genjutsu and if I'm trapped, I would use a simple full body surge to place myself out of the genjutsu, or fool the opponent by making him think as if I'm trapped in the genjutsu, whereas I would use a simple move like Stone Spikes to impale him. And, one can realize one is caught in it, by seeing if the arms have any shadows or not.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages - Very handy and quick technique, requires no weaving of handsigns. As I mentioned, one can trick the opponent by making him think it's a Kenjutsu technique, whereas it turns to be a Genjutsu. Once trapped, the user can finish off the opponent quickly, and being short range is an advantage to the user.

About the disadvantages, it's a double edged sword, i.e. the range, meaning the user can only use this in short range. Other being, that its quite simple to realize the Genjutsu as well as get out of it, which takes a single move.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique - Meh, it's quite alright.

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.

+ How to be used in a battle - Easy does it. Force the opponent to counter a jutsu with your shadow clone and then place him in the genjutsu using your original body. Other common overused ways are to bind the opponent's movements beforehand and such.

+ How to be countered in a battle - Well, for starters, I would see if the flower buds have any specific smell, do they give out any shadows, etc..Again a full body surge would suffice to put oneself out of the genjutsu.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages - Advantages being again, no handseals to weave, so quite fast in it's performance. Also, it causes quite some mental damage, so the opponent is really distracted and paralyzed completely to even attack back. I mean, he feels like an actual explosion has occured! That's quite some mental stress. When he's paralyzed, the best thing would be to finish him off using Raikiri or False Darkness.

Disadvantages being the opponent can deduce the genjutsu by seeing if the flower has any specific smell or gives off shadows. Another interesting thing I've noted is that the opponent can also check the surrounding terrain to see if it supports the growth of that specific flower..

+ Your personal opinion about the technique - Good tech. Causes mental stress, so can be used before a KO.

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.

This technique is best used with that water technique mist; you will perform a set of five seals from there, the target will see you dissolve into a mist, and once you get into short range, the target will think they are bound to a tree that just rapid grows out of the ground, then your target will see you coming out from the tree to attack them, which ever way you see fit, but outside the illusion; the target is unable to move, so allowing you to attack them or whatever. As I said before best used with a mist like technique so it's harder for them to get out of it.

This technique leaves people a bit unsure, I think you perform a single hand seal which then places the person in the genjutsu, they will see some purple flowers grow from the ground in front of them, somehow damaging them, with a chance of paralysing them. If they do get paralysed it last for one turn.
Range is meh, seems obvious unless you're in a forest or whatnot.

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.

+ How to be used in a battle You summed it up. Best used when used with Kirigakure No Jutsu, as the opponent would get deceived by the surrounding mist. This could also be used when the opponent's vision is hindered beforehand with Lightning Illusion or a Dust storm, thereby giving ample time to perform the handseals, appear short range before the user and attack him.

+ How to be countered in a battle Quite simple actually. I would check if the tree has any solid base or if trapped, the branches have any specific properties to them and finally, if the tree/branches have any shadow to them. I think the best option would be to use Hardening Technique, because it would serve two purposes - a full body surge and - it would help the user to defend from any attack that the opponent would use. Chidori Nagashi would suffice too, as the opponent needs to be in close range and the Nagashi would hit him.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages
When used with Kirigakure No Jutsu, the obvious advantage is that the user gets enough time to conceal himself, reach short range and then appear from the tree. In the genjutsu, the user appears from the tree and stabs the opponent, which is by itself a lot of mental damage to the opponent in reality. Can be used like other genjutsus as a setup for a follow up jutsu that takes a long time to execute.

Disdvantages are that it requires 5 handseals to perform, and the user needs to reach short range, due to which is vulnerable to Nagashi, which in turn could paralyze his own body and give the opponent the time to instead kill the user. Also, it has no damage points.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique -
It's quite nice, if the opponent takes the feint. Overall, quite okay, nothing really unique.

Flower Hill was already done on 3-24-2014. My apologies. :| It was on the previous page, and I accidentally missed it. lol, I did think this technique felt familiar.

This one is nice. Perform the one seal, then with that seal placing my clone in your genjutsu, you will throw a good amount of explosive tags at my clone, he will see in the illusion an undefined amount of butterflies flying towards him, my clone will think the butterflies are sinking into the ground [wot] but outside the genjutsu, he is getting stunned, this allows you to walk up to him and place a single exploding tag on his forward.

Not the most used technique here, nor one of the most useful ones.

Finally, a useful genjutsu! e_e

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.

+ How to be used in a battle
Good technique. Can be used as a feint, quite obvious from the description. Simple exploding tags are put to good use in the genjutsu. Although, butterflies and all seems girlish, but it's quite useful. I would use a Wood clone to engage the opponent(Wood clone is more sturdy and versatile) while, I put him under the genjutsu when he's distracted. Seems easy enough.

+ How to be countered in a battle
Well, the butterflies form shadows, which is obvious enough. Another interesting way of deducing it, is that when something is summoned, it's usually summoned close to the user, as well as blood is wiped on the ground, with the user placing his hand on the ground. Last but not the least, the butterflies aimlessly float towards the user, so it's very simple to deduce it. I would use Hardening tech to bear the explosions as well as grow long spikes from it to impale the opponent in short range.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages

Requires no weaving of handseals to initiate the genjutsu as well as the range is pretty good. It's one of the rare genjutsus that extends upto mid-range. Plus, the opponent feels he's sinking into the ground, so he could waste chakra on preventing himself from sinking. Also, the explosion tags are an excellent way of fooling the user, the last exploding tag actually detonating with the others combined and killing the opponent.

Disdavantages being that the genjutsu is easily recognized, as well if the opponent grows a rocky armour, with impaling spikes, then it's harmful to the user in mid-range, so I presume it's best to use it in mid-range.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique -
Quite good. I like this technique, except for it's easy deduction.

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user makes one handseal, placing all the targets in the area under an illusion where feathers appear to fall from the sky. This slowly puts the opponents to sleep after one turn.

+ How to be used in a battle
I would use this in the NW, to put opponents in short range from me to deep sleep and then kill/interrogate them. Best used on a worn out opponent, as he wouldn't have enough energy to counter the genjutsu. It can be also used to infiltrate certain places, or villages. Best used on the village guards, to enter the village without bloodshed, as seen when Kabuto started this genjutsu on the Konoha villagers.

+ How to be countered in a battle
Similar to the previous tech, I would see if the feathers produce any shadow as well as I would check the terrain, as it's impossible for feathers to randomly pop out of nowhere, in a for eg: desert or a wasteland. Last, but not the least, I would check if the feathers actually touch my body. As the opponent needs to be in short range from me, I would go with Nagashi as the current would wake me up as well as it would paralyze him.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages
Advantages being, weaving of only a single handseal as well as the good use of the tech in the NW, as it puts several opponents to sleep at once. And, also being useful when the opponent is worn out, as I mentioned. The feathers would fall slowly which would distract the opponent as well one can't resist sleep once put into the genjutsu, no matter how strong the will. The user can follow up with a finishing blow, when the opponent's deep sleeping.

Disadvantages being the range limitation, as well if the opponent counters the technique, then the counter tends to hit back at the user. Also, another is that it doesn't deal any mental damage to the opponent, just simply puts them to sleep.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique
It's quite nice. I would rate it 7/10 as it was useful in canon.

Swell, last technique!

(Kokuangyo no Jutsu) - Bringer-of-Darkness Technique
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
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.

You can explain this one, simple technique really.

 

[Naruto.]

Very easy technique. Used by Hashirama on the 3rd Hokage. The user makes a single handseal and puts the opponent under a genjutsu wherein their sense of sight is affected, as complete darkness engulfs them. The range of this technique is pretty sweet, and is capable of affecting multiple opponents. Quite good if used in the NW on the village guards, to trap them in darkness, and infiltrate the village. Almost renders the opponent blind, due to which they have to heavily rely on their other senses like hearing to carefully hear the opponent's movements and stuff. A good way of detecting is the genjutsu is the sudden loss of vision, especially in a bright area. So, the opponent has to be careful to use this in a very dim lit area. Once, I'm trapped in the genjutsu, I would use hardening surge to grow a rocky armour and pierce the opponent with spikes. If multiple users use this at once, then the level of genjutsu is pretty high. Not useful on sensor ninjas as they can sense the opponent. The user can follow up with silent homicide technique or prepare a massive tech and kill the opponent.
