Ok, seeing your previous training, i believe I'll get to the actual training of Keigoku with you.
Now then. Every Nekura has a different method of accessing the Keigoku via portals, so you'll have to work out what yours is. We've already had insane laughter, ruthless ambition, violent bloodshed,*dark*ambitions, and excessive pride. Try to feel the connection the cursed chakra has with you in your body. You do this by different methods; Mine being driven by the pure lust i have to gain power beyond my teacher (Lok/Akuma).

"Hmm... T'is quite a conundrum, for I believe I do not fall into any of the types you mentioned..."
Thinking deeply about her connection with Keigoku, Morrigan couldn't come to any simple answer. She did not have an easily marketable laugh, or a violent temper, or the ambition to kill or surpass anyone in particular, and while she was proud of her abilities, she never once fooled herself into believing she was infallible. It seemed as though she would have to form her own connection to the corrupted Chakra, one that was radically different than her kin... She returned to her reason for aligning with the Nekura in the first place, what drove her towards a Clan that was so feared throughout the world, not away from. The conclusion she arrived at was not so surprising. Survival. Or to be more specific, preservation, both of herself and anything that, to her eyes, was worth preserving at any cost. She would do far worse than simply kill someone that interfered with her own goals, or sought to end her goal of self-preservation. She would make examples of them, with broad strokes if needed. In some ways she was far darker than her fellow Clan members...
"I believe my connection with Keigoku stems from the primal urge of self-preservation, albeit at any cost, even, as you mentioned before, murder, ruthless actions and other such unpleasant ordeals. T'is why I aligned with our Clan in the first place. Not only to help me in my own preservation, but to help preserve the legend and power of the Jūbi against all that would seek to erase it. The Senju, the Uchiha, indeed all of the Ninja World. Even time seems to have had an effect on people's perception of the Jūbi, labelling it as nothing more than a fairy tale now. Some things in this world are worth preserving, no?"

Jio nods and then walks over to a nearby tree stomp to sit down on.
"Good, good. Now we'll move on. You see, the basis of our actual techniques are portals. Yes, portals. It's the medium we use between our planet and the moon to access what is known as Keigoku; which you're fully aware of at this point. Anyway, I'm not the type to talk much, so we'll get to some actual uses, K?"
Jio closed his eyes for a moment, and within a moment's notice a dozen portals were created around him. Each and every portal was a different size, showing the new recruit that they weren't all the same, it all depended on skill and technique used.
"*sigh* Now, you know that feeling you explained to me? Yeah, i didn't want to hear it. It was for you to know. Self enlightenment, i guess. Use that feeling. Use it to connect with our power and open a portal.. Don't take too long, we don't have forever."

Morrigan watched as Jio sat down then effortlessly opened several portals around himself, all of differing sizes, with a mallicious presence surrounding every single one of them. This was how the Nekura accessed the power of a deity that was locked away at the center of the Earth's natural satellite. Using the mark on their hand to form a connection with the Jūbi, they drew it's power to them instantly across the vast space between them. As instructed, Morrigan began focusing on the aforementioned emotion, gathered Chakra in her Mark and began to focus. Before long she felt a new sensation emanating from her palm. She pointed her palm outward and began forcing her Chakra through her mark, then a few moments later a portal, similar in appearance to the one's Jio created, appeared, though it was far smaller and more "sickly" than the ones he had produced. After a few more tries, she successfully produced one that could be considered normal.
"I believe that's what I've been aiming to achieve. So, what is the next step?"

"Good, good. Now using that portal, allow keigoku to flow out of it. Not too much though. Start with a miniscule amount so that you won't over work your body and collapse. Something like this....."
Jio had a tiny palm sized amount of Keigoku flow out of each portal, allowing it to simply linger around his presence as he awaited the same thing from you.

Watching Jio draw Keigoku from the other end of his portal, Morrigan felt a certain appreciation for the inner workings of the Nekura Clan. The Nekura could draw from it's power, but never truly bask in it's presence, nor even be remotely close to the source of their power. The Jūbi was safely sealed away in it's prison, high above the Earth, where no one could even deign to touch it.
"T'is beautiful to watch. Now let us see how I fair."
As instructed, she channelled more Chakra into her mark, and produced another portal. This time, she focused on drawing the power from the other end of the tear in space, and after a moment of intense concentration, she finally pulled some of the Jūbi's power through the portal. She drew the Keigoku to herself, and felt the first tinge of the Nekura's true power. Her mouth bent into a smirk as she awaited further instructions...

"Ok. Now tell me something. Why exactly are genjutsu ineffective against us? One of the ones who taught me told me not to use the term 'immunity to gen' since it isn't really an immunity. I'd like to hear from you where we get this resistance against foreign chakra ...."
"This is just an educated guess after experiencing the smallest slither of what Keigoku is capable of, so I'm sure you'll tell me if I'm incorrect, or I only have part of the answer, so here goes nothing. At first I thought it had something to do with the pain the Keigoku does to sentient beings, but after having a taste of it's power, I'm not so sure, since I didn't experience anything even remotely similar to pain when I drew the Keigoku to myself."
Thinking back to the time when she received the Nekura's Mark, Morrigan remembered some info imparted to her by one of her Clansmen...
"I do recall after my initiation I was informed that, during and after we use our Clan's Jutsu, our bodies are filled with Keigoku and so it must be the presence of this overwhelming energy that rejects almost all forms of foreign Chakra, with no discrimination between helpful and hindering forms of Chakra. This can be both a blessing and a curse for if we are hurt, we cannot be healed as effectively as others, and we cannot access powers like Senjutsu or Nature energy, yet at the same time we are highly resistant to all but the most powerful of Genjutsu and other forms of indirect offensive Chakra. It's also curious how similar Keigoku is when compared to how a Tailed Beast is said to interact with their Host. How a Bijuu can apparently "snap" their Jinchuuriki out of Genjutsu, should they be unable to do so themselves... But to answer your question, I believe that Keigoku rejects foreign Chakra because it is itself a form of foreign Chakra. A very malicious and powerful one at that, so powerful that it probably dilutes and eradicates any other forms of foreign Chakra present within a Nekura's body."
With a blank expression, lost in deep thought, Morrigan wondered if she had missed any crucial pieces of information she had been passed by her Clansmen. After a moment of nothing in particular coming to mind, she caved in and waited from a response from Jio.

"Very good. Seems women actually catch on to details quicker. Took me a few explanations from two of the clan's leaders to understand fuly. The usage of Keigoku throughput our lives simply leaves our bodies filled with it. Our chakras adapt to it, though any outside chakra will be pushed away as it attempts to enter, making not only Genjutsu useless, but techniques that insert chakra into us will fail altogether. For example; A Hyuga does its 361 palms on you. You'd be hit with an abundance of pokes basically, leaving all the minute chakra insertions rejected on contact. You'd be safe internally, but at the very least you'd have burns or soreness from the attacks seeing as the outside of your body is still being with fast paced chakra enhanced blows. You're also still open to any and all MS level Genjutsu. Something about the Eyes being able to control biju chakra and by defailt Keigoku. Another interesting thing is you can even feel a slight jerk on your body when rejecting the illusions that fail."
Jio inhales slowly and then lets out an even slower exhalation. Still sitting in the same spot, he rubbed the back of his head and began to talk again.
"Think I've went on too long about that, let's move on. At this point, I'll promoting you up to Scourge rank. Your Seer days are in the past. You're able to access our B-rank and lower techniques, while you also will have a passive power enhancement to your Keigoku techniques (can be found in the link at the bottom). With that said, I'll teach you a technique. "
I pause my speech for a moment while i open a single portal. The portal instantly shoots out a blast of Keigoku similar to false darkness in its looks, aimed at a random bird flying by. The bird instantly drops down once it's hit, crashing into the ground unconsciously.
"Explain to me how you think that technique works now that you've witnessed it first hand."

Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user, by using expert chakra control, moulds their Keigoku chakra before opening the portal. Through this method, the user creates a "pressure" of chakra behind the closed portal. Then, the user will open the portal within short range of themselves suddenly, letting the foul chakra explode out into the jutsu. The sudden appearance of such pressurized chakra creates a "flash" of chakra bright enough to momentarily blind dojutsu users and sensors (only if their dojutsu/sensor techniques are active). The Keigoku then shoots forward at the target shaped like lightning, causing pain and temporary incapacitation for one turn
Note: The "sensory/dojutsu blinding" effect lasts long enough for the lightning bolt to travel to mid-range and lasts only during said turn

"So we're all but immune to the internal effects of external Chakra, but any physical aspect of a technique, like the Taijutsu of the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist, can still harm us? T'is certainly good to know. And I know I'll certainly be avoiding the Genjutsu of an Uciha with an awakened Sharingan. If they have the power to control Tailed Beasts, I'd hate to see what they could do with our Keigoku..."
Upon hearing she was being promoted to a higher Rank in the Clan, Morrigan felt something akin to pride, but she never let it show through her calm and collected demeanour. She then watched as Jio demonstrated one of the Nekura Clan's Jutsu, as a portal appeared and lingered for a few moments, before firing a concussive, explosive flash of light that struck a small bird, which fell to the ground. Jio then asked for a description, and Morrigan was more than happy to have a stab at it.
"Physically it almost looked like a Lightning Release technique, and if we hadn't already covered how Keigoku works, I may have written this off as just that. But it looked to me like you pooled the Keigoku around the portal for a short duration, which appeared to build pressure, until it finally caved in, and released a condensed blast of Keigoku at your innocent target over there. Since Keigoku doesn't truly affect anything in a physical sense, one can only assume that the reason that little bird is not moving is because the pain from such a sudden jolt of Keigoku renders it immobile, or perhaps unconscious, if not flat out killing whatever it strikes. However, as you just mentioned that I am only able to access the lower tiers of the Clan's abilities, and the fact you are teaching me this technique, are indicators that this technique isn't as strong as other technique's in our Clan's repertoire, and thus probably doesn't cause death upon contact. Or at the very least doesn't kill when it comes to other people. Small animals on the other hand may be affected more severely than larger sentient beings."
After a brief period, the struck bird begins to regain consciousness, adding credence to Morrigan's point.

"Good analysis. The only thing is, the pressure is built up before the portal ever appears.. This means the moment the portal appears, the keigoku is being released, causing the flash. And to your comment on the rank of this technique. This is easily one of my favorites and is easily a game ender. It will blind doujutsu users, and block sensors (blind them also) in a moment's notice. When it hits an opponent, they are instantly incapacitated, which leaves them open for almost anything. It may not kill them, but it does all but that. An unconscious opponent is just as good as a dead one. Now try it yourself. See that kid? *points in the distance* Seems like he's lost. He's your target."
OOC: I had another look at the technique. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'll remember it in the future. It's just my understanding was that Nekura Jutsu stuck to a general flow or template of execution, much like regular Ninjutsu do. I thought the first step was making the Portal, the second was gathering the Keigoku, then finally manipulating the Keigoku in whatever manner the technique you wish to perform requires.
It's the same template for other forms of Ninjutsu, for example, you can't perform an Elemental Ninjutsu without first gathering Chakra, then changing the Nature of the Chakra, then releasing it and adding whatever change in the Chakra's Shape for the technique. You can't change the Nature or add a change to it's Shape or form to Chakra before you even gather it, so I thought the same would apply to Nekura technique's, where you can't prepare it before you've even created the portal. If you can manipulate Keigoku before you've even opened the portal, then aren't you technically manipulating energy that's almost 400,000km away? xD
Also, I do like the blinding and paralysing effect of the technique as well, but we're doing the training in context, so my bio can't exactly talk about the technique like she can see the Jutsu or has any prior knowledge about it, you know?

"Still a powerful technique, no matter how low in the hierarchy it is? And this is just the beginning? I can't wait to see what other surprised lie in wait..."
Upon being instructed to attack a seemingly lost, innocent child, Morrigan didn't even think twice before she began gathering Chakra in her Mark, manipulating her Keigoku and creating a portal directly above the kid. She knew nothing about this person, and yet she knew exactly how members of the Nekura Clan were reputed to act, and treat others. Especially Uchiha and Senju, whom they hated with a passion and would attack on sight. As she created the portal, and manipulated her Keigoku, building up a tremendous amount of pressure behind the portal, she didn't even wonder where this child had wandered from, or whether or not he had a family. She simply focussed on honing her talents, no matter what or whom she had to practice them on. Finally, after several moments of building up pressurized Keigoku, she opened the portal, unleashing the explosive energy that had gathered behind it. As the concussive lightning blast was unloaded down upon the unsuspecting child, the Keigoku caused a tremendous amount of mental trauma to the kid, so much so, that he collapsed almost instantly upon contact with the Keigoku. Morrigan then turned to Jio and said in a seemingly light-hearted, yet still cold and unattached tone...
"A cautionary tale for mothers. Never let your children wander near the training grounds of the Nekura clan... And I suppose you are right. An unconscious target is just as good as a dead one. Shall we leave him be now?"
