Ino was a very bright and she knew when people were talking about her. You can call it a woman's intuition if you will. She gave a rather disapproving gesture as she put both hands on her hips and simply nodded at Shin. She spoke in a stern tone that seemed to befit an adult who had experienced much hardships.
"I may be young but I am not blind to the suffering of the world. I simply want to help it even at the cost of my own life. My village, though it may have its shadows, when contrasted with the sunshine, it makes for a very dynamic people. Though they all have their agendas, hidden or not, I can only trust that it works in the same way to help maintain the beauty of this village for generations to come. I don't understand why you would leave nor have you given me any reason to doubt you. I only hope that in your own way, you fight hard for your village. Wherever it is you call home."
Ino then opened her eyes to reveal a dazzling beauty and bright eyes that revealed the optimism of youth and their disregard for the real truths of the world. She then switched to a more casual tone, speaking to Shin as if he were a comrade though well beyond her age (possibly older >_>).
"I can honestly say that I have not been interested in my clans history that much. All it seems to me are a bunch of grumpy men talking like they know what is best for everyone. I do however know how our abilities work, to an extent. I would think you know about it better than me."
Ino then leans a little bit forward, looking at Shin straight in the eye.
"I can see it in your eyes, Shin."
She then leaned back and continued her answer.
"Our clan centers on the ability to transfer our consciousness onto other subjects though it is limited by our ability and focus. If I wanted, I could transfer my mind to that bird up there, and as I soar above the cerulean skies, I could watch over you. However the drawback is that since my consciousness is in another place, by body will become vulnerable. Anyone could attack it if not guarded well and in the end I could end up the one losing. Our clans techniques require great tact and chakra control to utilize to its full potential. With our ability to transfer our consciousness, we can also relay information via telepathy, whether it come from us or another person (though it requires direct physical contact).
I've never really thought that extensively about the Yamanaka's ability when compared with genjutsu. I assume the only correlation is that we are both sending our chakra to our target but the major differences is in what you do with that chakra. Genjutsu focuses on the senses and tricking you into experiencing something that really isn't there. It's more prominent use can be seen with the Uchiha and Kurama clan. Our clan's techniques not only transfers our chakra but also our "consciousness". I am hard pressed to describe it to you but it is like our soul, it is what keeps us alive and to know that we are alive. Transferring it to another being, we can control their movements though it doesn't allow us to perform ninjutsu or anything else other than reverting that control back to our bodies. It does take us time to return back though so it is not without its consequences. It isn't meant to be used out in the open but somewhere safe from exposure especially to attacks. I don't know if I mentioned this but any harm we receive while inside a host, we likewise receive that damage to our original bodies including death."
Ino takes a quick moment to think whether she adequately explained the differences between the Yamanaka Clan Techniques and Genjutsu. SHe felt that is the best she understood since she wasn't well versed in genjtusu and its techniques (only D-Rank lol). She however had a basic concept down thanks to an old friend (thank you Vision!). She apologizes to Shin as she bends herself slightly forward in a bow.
"Sorry I didn't explain everything well to you, sensei. This is to the best of my knowledge."
