I was wondering if anybody could explain how performing handseals could affect an opponent and put them under an illusion.
Sharingan Genjutsu affects the opponents mind by using Hypnosis via the eyes.
Sound based genjutsu affects the opponents mind via hearing.
Hypothetically speaking if we follow the common pattern then smell based illusions would affect a person via sense of smell and taste based illusions would affect via taste.
All of these forms would require an external stimulus using one of the sense to cause the alteration to the opponents mind and cause the illusion to take effect.
Wouldn't it make more sense for regular genjutsu to require physical contact. The user could form the hand seals then transfer the alteration to the opponents brain via the stimulus of touch.
I think the current system of genjutsu via seals is flawed and requires a retcon.
Discuss and please explain if anybody knows how regular genjutsu works.
