*Waits for Nathan*

Looks like I'll finally be able to master Genjutsu. The last technique I learned was ( Genjutsu: Kasumi ) - Illusion Technique: Servant. Attached is the link of my

Oh you're not supposed to make a new thread for continuing trainings, eh no matter. We'll live. @_@

I have two methods, you can pick one of them

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:

Spoiler

Example of points for every technique
+ How to be used in a battle
+ How to be countered in a battle
+ Some advantages and disadvantages
+ Your personal opinion about the technique

Do you have any questions about method?

Or you can chose to use this template:

Your choice. ^^

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

We will indeed U_U

Since Genjutsu is my eternal enemy, I'd like to focus on actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use/counter it in a fight.

 

[Nathan]

Alrighty then.

(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.

What can you tell me about this one?

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

*Clears throat*

This technique is used to create clones that emerge from the surroundings that move towards the enemy. If the clones are attacked then they multiply. This technique can be countered in battle by an omnidirectional jutsu, which is what most shinobi would do when they find themselves surrounded. However, instead of dispersing the clones will simply multiply, and that would allow the opponent to realize the the clones are only figment of his imagination. All he would have to do upon realizing this is release himself from the technique.

Some advantages of this technique is that it not only pulls away the opponent'so attention from the user, but to also keep them occupied while you prepare another attack to finish the enemy. A disadvantage of this this technique is the sole fact that the the clones multiply when attacked, making it fairly obvious that it's an illusion since it's illogical.

Well this is a pretty basic technique but it's useful. It can really pressure the opponent if worded correctly.

 

[Nathan]

So let's say you use Shadow clone technique and using that genjutsu, would it be harder to deduce that it is a genjutsu?

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

It would depend on the order in which the clones attacked.

Let's say the normal shadow clone attacks first and is dispelled, then the genjutsu clones are attacked and multiply. This wouldn't make it harder to deduce that it's a genjutsu, but the opponent would be confused since he doesn't know which are real and which are fake.

Now if you mix the regular shadow clone with the illusionary ones he would be able to protect them from incoming attacks, so the opponent would have some difficulty deducting that he's in a genjutsu since the clones wouldn't multiply.

It all depends on how you utilize the technique and what jutsu you use in conjuction with it

 

[Nathan]

Good work, you've got that one understood perfectly. ^_^

Doing well, one more D-rank until C-ranks!

(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.

What can you tell me about this one?

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

*Fancily holds up wine glass*

This is used in battle to incapacitate the opponent by making their worst fear appear before them. The user will perform two handseals causing a swirl of leaves to surround the opponent. The swirl will fall away to reveal their worst nightmare that shocks and potentially causes them to faint. This jutsu can also be used create an opening for the user to take out the opponent due to their momentary hesitation.

Now to counter this jutsu you would first have to rationally deduce how you've come to realize that you're in a genjutsu. One way to do this is by going off of you're fear. Now lets say we're fighting on a water surface and this technique is used on me and a herd of horses appear (Yes, Horses are my greatest fear). Now since we're on water how would it be possible for these animals to be here? Another way of realizing the illusion is by the leaves. This time we're fighting on a dry rocky terrain with no water source, how would it be possible for leaves to appear there?

Alright, An advantage of this technique is that the leaves will obscure the opponents vision of the user and also cause to opponent to hesitate when their worst fear manifests before them. This can give the user much need time to formulate an attack to kill the opponent. A disadvantage of this technique is that it's usage is affected by the terrain, meaning that in order to successfully make the genjutsu believable, it can only be used in places where tress are found.

Personally, the terrain would have to be suitable for me to use this technique. I don't like it, but I Don't dislike it either Lol

 

[Nathan]

What happens if you are battling that person on a field of these pick leafs, or somewhere that is known to have said pink leafs?

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

If I were fighting on a terrain that consisted of Sakura leaves then the usage of this technique would be more natural and also make it harder for the opponent to tell when exactly the genjutsu was deployed.

 

[Nathan]

And, if that is the case. How would you deduce it is a genjutsu? What would give it away?

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

The simple fact that it's the target's worst fear that appears would most likely give it away. I mean if my fear ape eared I'd obviously begin to ask questions; how did it get here? Where did it come from? And why did it choose now of all time to appear?

 

[Nathan]

Touché.

(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.

Okay so this technique can only work on an already moving target, one you insert your chakra into their brain, they will think they are moving in a straight line, but really they are going in circles, this gen will make them move all the time, and if you are able to pull this off, the target will be exhausted in a few short hours. Range is neat too.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

This technique can be used in battle on an opponent that's not only running towards you, but in any given direction and tricks them to believe they're moving in a straight line when in fact he's moving in a circle. I would use this technique to not only tire my opponents, but also use it to create opportunities for attacking them. Since the target would be moving in a circle it could also be said that it would be hard for his attacks to be fired accurately.

I believe this technique can be countered by simply stopping, even though they may or may not be facing the caster of the technique, but this still wouldn't break the genjutsu. In order to break out of this technique the target would first have to realize that no matter how long he runs, he's not getting any closer to the user. Another way to notice that you're trapped in an illusion is that you're opponent wouldn't bother to block your attacks even though you'd release them straight toward him. From there you'd just have to explain how you proceed to release yourself from the technique afterwards.

Some advantages and of this technique is that it would be effective for a while before the opponent notices, but during that time you would be able to formulate an attack to incapacitate the opponent. A disadvantage of this technique is that the target has to be moving for it to take effect and also the fact that they'd be able to figure it out by tracing their attack's trajectory while they are trapped.

In my opinion this technique could be used well if the user tricks the opponent into believing that their attacks are indeed on target. I would use this myself

Moving on:

(Genjutsu: Jinmon) - Illusion Technique: Interrogation
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
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.

Okay this technique only works on non-moving targets they either have to be standing still [which is unlikely] or you have trapped them down somehow, then by using touch you have placed them in a genjutsu, this gen convinces them to give out information they usually wouldn't. But, this technique only works on ninja that are two ranks lower then you, the caster.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

You're such a toothless fanboy

---

This technique can be used in a battle to gain any sort of information by coming in physical contact with a stationary opponent, meaning that they either have to be standing still or trapped.

This technique can be countered in battle by simply moving around and avoiding physical contact. One can also realize that they've been placed in a genjutsu b realising that they're leaking sensitive information they wouldn't give to an enemy and bite off their own tongue, though that result in death.

The advantage of this technique is that it can be used to gather valuable information, but the risk is too great since physical contact is required. This means that it can only be used against an opponent that can no longer move. Another disadvantage is that this technique will only work on ninja two ranks lower than the caster.

My personal opinion about this technique is that it's risky. I'd only use it in a case where my opponent is completely unable to move.

What of it? :|

(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.

Just by looking at my clone, you will place him in this genjutsu, but of course you need insert your chakra into his brain, this technique makes the clone believe they are seeing a big ball of fire coming from the sky, this technique can be used in a lot of different situations. Example, you could cast this, and then use a water technique, or something along those lines, the range is good for a low rank, and for genjutsu in general.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

This jutsu is used in battle by casting an illusion where the opponent sees a huge ball of fire descending from the sky that envelopes them.

Like any other form of genjutsu, this illusion can be broken if the target figures out that they're in a genjutsu. But this would be difficult to do if this technique is used properly. I believe that if used correctly, the only way to counter this technique would be to treat it as a normal fire jutsu and either dodge or counter, by which time the user could have already launched a second attack

Like most genjutsu, an advantage of this technique is that it can be used to buy valuable time and cause the opponent to exhaust their chakra. An obvious disadvantage of this technique is finding the opportune time to use it.

In my personal opinion this technique is pretty useful that i'd use to attack in conjunction with a real fireball technique

Last one!

(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.

With this one, look at your target; thus inserting your chakra into there brain, the target will see a clone run towards them, the clone explodes in a cloud of cherry blossoms, which in the end confuse the target, I can see this being a very obvious genjutsu, personally. There is no technique besides this and a few other genjutsu techniques, that use this method. But, I guess the good thing about this technique is that it does leave them open to an attack, and the range is good.
