Learning Genjutsu from Kiritsugu

[~Yubel~]

*Waits for sensei*

 

[Adachi]

So, firstly, I want to know why you want to learn Genjutsu and why creativity is extremely important in such an art.

 

[~Yubel~]

Well, i want to further my knowledge about genjutsu because it's something very powerful and can be expanded on so much because it takes place in the opponents mind and it's crucial that you place the right genjutsu at the right time to prevent someone from taking a certain course of action or fool the opponent by tweaking a detail that can harm him/her afterwards because of their lack of knowledge about something. That's why creativity is important in genjutsu.

I want to eventually make a Kurama clan bio where genjutsu can become reality and produce real physical results.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent response! Yes, you are indeed correct about inflicting Genjutsu in such a way so that your opponent would not notice it. As Genjutsu is not real, there are often times flaws within them, that we ourselves must straighten out so that it is a valid attack upon the battlefield.
As for creativity, you slightly touched upon it, but remember, the enemy's mind is the paper, and your own imagination, the pencil. There are no limits but your own.
Kurama Clan...hm. I forgot who had those types of bios.

Nonetheless, let us start simple. How might one release themselves from Genjutsu? What ways are there?

 

[~Yubel~]

There are 3 ways to release from genjutsu.

1. Stopping your chakra flow and gathering more chakra to disrupt the opponents flow of chakra.

2. Inflict pain on yourself which will give you waking agony and have you come out of the genjutsu.

3. If you have a comrade and they notice the genjutsu, they can flow their chakra in your body to disrupt it

 

[Adachi]

Good, you covered three basic ones, however, there is one more. What do you know of full body chakra surges?

Oh isn't that using techniques that gives you a surge of chakra like chidori nagashi? I don't know, i may be wrong.

 

[Adachi]

Yes, you are precisely correct.
There is another one in the earth section as well...
Thinking back upon the concepts of how Genjutsus work, how might you think a full body chakra surge release you from one? No need for a perfect answer, just give me your thoughts and opinion.

 

[~Yubel~]

Because you release chakra from your body in a direct way and deliberately so with that the genjutsu will be disrupted depending on how weak it is.

 

[Adachi]

Kind of. You interrupt your chakra system with a powerful move, throwing off the illusion as it requires complete control of your chakra system.
Let's start simple now. First, try and transform our surroundings into anything you want.
You must first concentrate on your chakra and then release it out of your body onto me, then deliberately control each of my five senses to get me to see what you want.

 

[~Yubel~]

I concentrate my chakra, flow it through my body as i channel it outside of me, sending it directly to your brain and interupting your chakra flow so i can manipulate your five senses with my chakra, i control your senses to perceive a sexy lady infront of you.

 

[Adachi]

=_= Okay, that may work if I was Sanji...but let me introduce an important concept to you.
Cause and effect.
For example, you used a Wind Jutsu to blow away the explosive tag, thus, I can follow up with a prepared fire move to disregard your Wind Jutsu, so that it overcomes it and is sent back at you two times stronger.
By taking the upper hand, you can juggle your opponent around and have them react the way you want to, as we are all forced to make moves and survive in a battle. This is most often used in chess, where it is necessary to be able to predict several moves ahead of the opponent.

How might you utilize this jutsu in such a manner?

 

[~Yubel~]

Wow, i honestly don't have a clue of how i would use this technique in such a manner, or i don't think so.

Maybe if you had a scroll you were about to use i would change your perception of the scroll into a glass which makes you unable to open it. I can only think moves ahead if i predict the opponents course of action which i would prob only do in a fight, i can't think like that if i dont have a situation infront of me.

 

[Adachi]

Ah, the way I am describing it seems a bit complicated.
Okay, let's put it this way.
What do you know of the elemental weaknesses and strengths?

 

[~Yubel~]

Fire>Wind>Lightning>Earth>Water>Fire

I know that.

 

[Adachi]

Alright. So let us say that you utilize the illusion that you are releasing an earth jutsu at your opponent, however, you are actually covering a Wind a technique.
How would your opponent counter that and how would it backfire against him?

 

[~Yubel~]

If he doesn't have a way of realizing that it's a genjutsu and releases from it he'll try to counter with light which would be weak to the actual wind technique i'm using so he'd get hit and injured if not killed depending on what i use.

 

[Adachi]

There you go! =D

Spoiler

( Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu ) - Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10 (+5 if you use it double)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user casts an illusion over an area that allows him to manipulate the way an area looks to fool an opponent. He can only change the way the terrain looks, and not any other feature.

Let me teach you about handseals now.
Let's say you had one jutsu that required only one handseal, but your opponent had one that required five.
How would you take advantage of this?

 

[~Yubel~]

I'd throw kunai to interupt his use of the handseals while i perform my one handseal. Even if i don't my one handseal is faster then him so my jutsu would be used more quickly then his but if it's his first move then it wouldn't work because you must wait for your opponents first technique to be underway in this RP and interupting it means breaking the timeframe.

 

[Adachi]

Yes, it makes your move faster, so in reality, you should be able to move faster than him. But good touch on the timeframe.
It pays a lot to notice things like that during fights. Small attention to important things can really make a huge difference.
So this next jutsu has five handseals.
I want you to focus your chakra into me once more and make it appear that you've dissolved into many petals. Actually, cherry blossom petals... Then, make those cherry blossoms around me and make sure you obscure my vision.
Then describe what purpose this serves in a battle.
