Genjutsu with Kiritisgu

[Negative Knight]

*I begin channeling my chakra and quickly string together five handseals in quick succession to perform the next jutsu. Afterward i begin releasing this chakra onto you, this time focusing on controlling your sense of sight's perception to perform a specific illusion. You begin to see me dissolve into multiple cherry blossom petals which begin to swirl around you, partially obscuring your vision.*

This would be useful in preventing your opponent's from countering specific attacks, concealing jutsu e.g. Shadow clones in this time or even allow the user to perform supplementary jutsu which may aid them.

However, this Genjutsu is easily detectable (its highly unrealistic to dissolve into petals) and so has a very limited usefulness when it comes to combat.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent description. Yes, this would be very unrealistic in battle.
I will now go over another important aspect of battles.
Field of vision.
By knowing where your opponent's eyes are directed at all times allows you take advantage of this and send a jutsu from a direction where you know they won't be looking at. This is also especially important when you are battling against Doujutsu users, especially Byakugans, because they only have one blind spot out of their 360 vision.
This jutsu blocks your opponent's field of vision, so that you are able to execute other moves upon him while he scrambles to see again.

( Genjutsu: Kahen Tonsou ) - Illusion Technique: Flower Petal Escape
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user makes five handseals, appearing to dissolve into a shower of cherry blossom petals. These petals surround the opponent, blocking his vision. This allows the user to mask his movement effectively.

This is one of the many ways to be creative when disguising your next move in a battle. By outplaying your opponent or tricking them, it allows you to defeat them in battle.

This next jutsu allows the use of an explosive tag.
The explosive tag is a very important ninja tool. Tell me several ways to use it and how it works in battle.

 

[Negative Knight]

Explosive tags are useful in the following ways:
Eliminating clones easily and efficiently
Setting traps for the opponent e.g Mud wolves would work perfectly with them
To control the terrain

Those would be the main uses for the tool but its highly versatile.

 

[Adachi]

Good. However, one more idea that I'd like to emphasize upon, which is attaching explosive tags to clones and sending them forward (just like exploding Kage Bunshin) and there is also a special Ninjutsu technique that makes them invisible. You can have them explode close on impact to your enemy.

Remember that you need to make the snake handseal for this to explode.
Now, I want you to take over the mind of my clone and make him think that a clone of you is walking towards him.
In reality, however, the clone conceals in an incoming explosive tag.
Time it well.

 

[Negative Knight]

*After performing one handseal, I begin releasing my chakra onto Kiri's clone, causing an illusion of a clone of myself walking towards his clone as a steady pace. Instead this clone in reality is a paperbomb thrown by myself, the moment my clone reaches as close as it will towards the opponent, i detonate the paper bomb, causing Kiri's clone to disperse due to the blast.

 

[Adachi]

Perfect. So, when a clone advances, it directs their attention on the clone, allowing you to pull off more moves. And especially because this is a Genjutsu, and you can conceal sound, you can cook up a strong move while they are focused on the clone, such as Rasenshuriken. Sound is another important aspect of battling, and it usually alerts us to one jutsu or the other.

( Genjutsu: Kasumi ) - Illusion Technique: Servant
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user does one handseal and throws a paper bomb at the enemy. The enemy, trapped in a genjutsu will see a clone of the user advancing upon him. As the paper bomb reaches the enemy, it explodes

Once again, use your chakra to manipulate my clone's five senses.
I want you to surround my clone with your clones, having them rise up from the ground. (As an illusion.)
My clone will then attempt to attack your clones, and what you must do is to physically block him each time, tricking him into thinking that they are real.
Furthermore, every time he hits one, they multiply. <- Explain the purpose of this.

 

[Negative Knight]

*I begin channeling my chakra outwards onto Kiritisgu, forcing him to see whatever desired illusion i seek to put in place. Envisioning countless clones of myself rising upwards from the ground, i cause them to surround him from all sides, directing them to attack him. Each time Kiritsugu comes close to attacking one of the clones, they manage to block or deflect the hit somehow to make sure the Genjutsu isn't realized, due to ordinary shadow clones dispersing on contact. Each time one is hit, elsewhere another clone comes into existence.*

The purpose of deflecting each and every attack is so the opponent doesn't realize they're a Genjutsu, which would essentially defeat the purpose of using it in the first place.

The purpose of multiplying when each one is hit, is to create a never ending cycle, with the opponent's struggle actually becoming more and more futile the more they try. Its a similar scenario to Jiriaya vs Pain's Cerebus, whilst Jiriaya thought he was gaining ground in the fight, in actuality he was simply strengthening his opponent.

 

[Adachi]

Perfect response! Don't forget that when someone is trapped in a long period of time in this Genjutsu, that they eventually become exhausted as well.
The point of Genjutsu is to trick the enemy, so yes, he would have also have a hard time picking out which clone it is. But you must always remember to strike where he does, as this would have a bit of impact on your prediction skills.
You can trap him in such a state for awhile, and if you had made a Shadow clone beforehand, you can have that clone attack your opponent while he is fumbling to get out of this Genjutsu.

( Kasumi Jūsha no Jutsu ) - Mist Servant Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This illusion creates numerous illusionary clones of the user that appear to emerge from the ground, trees, rocks, etc. If these clones are attacked, they appear to multiply. The user can co-ordinate his attacks with the clones to make it appear as if they are real.

Now, think of someone close to you and something they might fear the most.

 

[Negative Knight]

It would have to be spiders, black widows maybe

*Thinks of this particular type of spider*

 

[Adachi]

Spiders? Quite generic.
Alright, psychologically speaking, what happens when you're facing your worst fears?

 

[Negative Knight]

You become reclusive, panicked, shell-shocked maybe enough to completely freeze when facing your worst fear. Physically, you sweat more than usual and your thoughts are much less rational.

 

[Adachi]

Very good. Genjutsus mainly cause two effects:
Fear and Stress.
You covered literally all of it, but generally speaking, stress would cause their blood pressure to go up, thus, giving them labored breathing, which exhausts them, and also hinders their rationalizations.

( Magen: Narakumi ) - Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user performs two handseals causing it to appear as if a swirl of leaves surrounds the opponent. The swirl eventually falls away, and after a few seconds, the opponent sees the image of whatever they fear the most, shocking them and potentially causing them to faint.

This next jutsu is rather basic.
Focus upon the flow of the chakra of your body in order to "spike" it so that it throws the balance off, thus releasing you from any current Genjutsu that may have a hold on you. Remember to form a handseal prior to doing this.
This is known as Kai, one of the ways to disrupt Genjutsus.
Do you know what rank Genjutsus this can go up to?

 

[Negative Knight]

C to S-Rank Genjutsus, i remember coming across it once. Will i performing it or is it a theory based technique ? Don't put me under a Genjutsu :T_T:

 

[Adachi]

Completely theory based. You're Sannin, so you can go up to A-Rank. Sages can go up to S-rank.

( Genjutsu: Kai ) - Illusion Technique: Release
Rank: C-A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15-30
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 (and above) can dispel Genjutsu up to A-rank. The user may use this technique through physical contact on others to dispel them from Genjutsu.

This next jutsu was used in the Chunin exams. When my clone begins walking, send your chakra to him and have him believe he is walking in a straight line, thus proceeding.
In reality, he is walking in circles.
Describe the psychological impact of this.

 

[Negative Knight]

The clone feels its serving its purpose while in reality its being completely useless. The opponent might be confused as to what the user's done or that they're a powerful genjutsu user.

Overall, i'm not too sure on this particular jutsu

 

[Adachi]

Do you remember when they used this in Chunin Exams? Naruto and his team were lost in the forest for some time.
Let's say your opponent was running in a straight line towards you, intending to strike you down.
How might you utilize this instead?

 

[Negative Knight]

Ah i see now. This would be useful for mimicking reality situations, making the opponent feel as if they've successfully hit you, whilst in reality a different scenario is playing out. Essentially, the opponent may feel as if they've won the fight, leaving them open to attack.

It seems like a difficult genjutsu to break since its reality simulation and not something someone would work out without trouble.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. Thus, the reasoning would be harder to grasp.

( Kori Shinchū no Jutsu ) - Sly Mind Affect Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:15
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.

This next jutsu is pretty straightforward.
Release your chakra from your body to take over my clone's five senses.
Then have him believe that a huge ball of fire is coming from the sky, ready to burn him into a crisp!

 

[Negative Knight]

*Releasing my chakra from my body, i begin governing your clone's sense of sight. I then implant a basic illusion in his mind that a Fire ball is coming down from the sky to left him as charred remains*

Eh, not a bad Genjutsu

 

[Adachi]

Definitely. How do you think he would react to this illusion and how would you counter his move?
I'm pretty sure I have taught you cause and effect before.
