Mato sono Kanningu - Mark of the Trickster
Type:NinGenTaijutsu
Background:
In the early days during Amegakures formation into a hidden village there was a young shinobi, gifted though he was in ninjutsu and genjutsu he lacked any prowess in taijutsu at all. This proved a major hinderance for him and culminated in the ninja losing a close friend during a mission, a barrier had been laid out for them as a trap that suppressed all access to chakra which left the shinobi almost useless as his friend died in front of him. He was grief stricken by this incident and seemed to give up on the life of a ninja altogether, simply staying in his room alone day in and day out. Although his friends tried to contact and even visit him he refused and they were saddened as he seemed swallowed by his own grief and guilt. One year after the incident the young man stepped out from his room once more having perfected his own taijustu style, using his expertise in ninjutsu and genjutsu to support him and make him into a deadly taijutsu combatant.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:
Firstly this style revolves around two different and distinct layers designed to disorientate and hinder targets.
The first layer is focused on using concentrated lightning chakra in conjunction with attacking or defending movements. The user will focus their Raiton chakra into a part of their body or limb and from that create extremely bright flashes intended to distract, disorientate and hinder the opponent. These can either be a single bright flash, multiple flashes that are spread over a duration or multiple flashes that occur continuously throughout the attack. All of these flashes would temporarily blind the opponent for a period of time and serve to form an almost strobe like affect, making it quite difficult for the opponent to correctly read the practitioners movements and appropriately time their attacks or defense. Its also worth noting that transparent objects between the user and the target will not serve to protect them from the effects of the flashes. The flashes emanate usually from the main attacking or defending limb and will be outlined in each technique, while their area of effect is always facing away from the user so as to not hinder them as well. Users of this style will be able to take advantage of the blindness and disorientation caused by the flashes to alter their movements or attacks in the tight time constraints of battle, within reason.
The second layer to this style is that of a usually dormant genjutsu though this can vary from technique to technique. As the practitioner is creating flashes this causes a fluctuation of the ambient light in the area due to the glare of the flashes on the environment. Due to the intensity of the glare on the environment it will affect the eyes as they adjust for the sudden and large changes in brightness, this takes a few moments to fade completely due to the flashes strength. It is this steady 'fading' of the ambient light after the flashes and its effects on the eyes that is used as a medium to place genjutsu upon the opponent. The actual casting of this illusion can happen before or after a flash or even in the space between two, and once in place the illusion will remain latent until it is activated. The specific illusion can vary along with the illusions complexity and strength but in general the genjutsu will hinder or deceive the opponent when simple triggers are activated. (For example when the opponent throws a punch or sees fire.)
Example Techniques:
Additional effects and Restrictions:
~Must have mastered Lightning Release and Genjutsu
~Must be at least Sannin Rank for the necessary chakra control
~Can only be taught by xHoudinii

(Mato sono Kanningu: Tou jin Buraindo)- Mark of the Trickster: Rob ‘em Blind
Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short (Long for the flash)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
The user begins this technique by initiating a flash from their chest, arm or leg, from which they will continue to produce continuous flashes with very small intervals in between. The small degree of light fading between each pulse is used to place a genjutsu on the opponent, the genjutsu affects the opponents main five senses, muting them slightly making it more difficult for the opponent to notice and react to the user. (Hearing becomes muffled, vision becomes blurred etc) This effect is compounded with each successive flash as the opponents senses grow weaker, culminating with them disappearing completely as long as the illusion is active. The user can utilise the opening created by the flashes to chain together a combo of punches or kicks(Up to 5 strikes), transitioning between the two as they see fit while the opponent would be vulnerable from the bright light and illusion.
Note:
~Can only be used 3 times
~The illusion is B rank in strength
~Can only be taught by Houdinii
(Mato sono Kanningu: Ikasa Sakka)- Mark of the Trickster: Con Artist
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short (Long for the flash)
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
This is a specialty technique for those who possess the MoT for it is best used when they are falling, off balance or simply need to evade as it allows them to act both quickly and efficiently. The user will begin this technique by creating an initial flash from their limb or chest towards the opponent while they hold a second flash ready, the initial flash blinds the opponent temporarily and initiates a genjutsu as it fades. Timed with the flash of light the user will utilise their current posture and momentum to react accordingly, for example turning a fall into a roll along the ground to the side of the opponent following with a low leg kick to the opponent from a crouched position. This is but one example as this technique is limited only by how well the user can utilise their momentum, as they could do anything up to even turning a stumble backwards from an enemy’s successful attack into a back handspring while kicking the opponent in the jaw as they flip. The genjutsu that is initiated after the flash hides the user and causes the opponent to see an illusionary version of the user as the light fades, this illusionary clone appears to have jumped towards the enemy in an attempt to tackle them, spouting a loud war cry the entire time.
Note:
~Cannot be used in consecutive turns
~The illusion is C rank in strength

(Mato sono Kanningu: Uso Chiito Nusumu)- Mark of the Trickster: Lie Cheat Steal
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short (Long for the flash)
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
A quite simple and fast jutsu for a practitioner of MoT, this technique is primarily a counter strike attack, allowing the user to swiftly and smoothly execute a dodge/block and strike at the same time. With an attack approaching them the user will release a particularly bright and intense flash at the same moment that they begin to dodge or block ensuring it is hidden from their targets sight. This flash will be a trigger for a genjutsu that prolongs the opponents ‘whited out’ vision while also causing a loud and disorienting buzzing noise in the opponents ears until released. These openings allow the user to block and counter as they would like, for example, knocking the opponents arm to open up their ribs for a strike or to chain this together with another taijutsu attack. Due to the unique intensity of the initial flash the opponent would find their vision blurred once released from the genjutsu and they will take one turn to fully recover from its effects.

(Mato sono Kanningu: Nanpa)- Mark of the Trickster: Grifter
Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short (Long for the flash)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: (60 if used to attack)
Description:
This is one of the core techniques for those bearing the Mark of the Trickster (MoT). With this technique the user can create several bright flashes (Up to 3) in tandem with their movement, their attack upon the opponent or their defense of an enemy's attack. The chakra generated flash would fade over a small duration after being triggered and is emitted from the users torso. The fading of a flash is used to place a dormant illusion upon the opponent that is triggered the next time they see water created from a water jutsu. Upon seeing this the illusion will activate making the water seem to expand many times over creating an oceans worth of liquid covering and obscuring the battlefield up to many meters overhead. They will find themselves not able to breathe while their movement speed is reduced by 25% due to moving through the liquid, these effects last until the illusion is released. Failure to release the illusion within two turns causes the opponent to pass out as their body is tricked into thinking it is in a state of oxygen deprivation.

~Can only be used 4 times
~The dormant illusion is A rank in strength
