Chapter 97 – The Art of Genjutsu

  Discimer: I don't own Naruto or the Gamer. Please support the official release.

  Hi guys. Fair warning. Bit of an info dump chapter. This is my take osu. It may be right, it may be wrong or maybe it's something in the middle…

  Daichi was fighting his es in the forest while being blindfolded. He relied on his other senses and wao improve them. He wao evolve his sense skills as quickly as he could. But Daichi's es were just as capable as he was. So the battle sted for some time before he was able to successfully defeat and dispel his es. After meditating and rec his strength he opened his skill list. Daichi's eyes went to the skills reted to the 6 senses.

  'They're almost at level 50. Maybe awo or three battle sessions like this and they'll be ready to evolve.'

  Daichi closed the skill list and headed home. During the battle he received a notification that indicated that reputation had increased with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Daichi was fused and not sure why that notification would show up at this time. 'Well, as long as it's not a 'reputation decreases' notification I don't mind.'

  There was also something else he wao ask his grandfather.

  Before long he reached his home. He noticed Kensei on the pord he seems to be immersed ihoughts.

  "Hey old man. You seem like you have something important on your mind."

  Daichi's voiapped Kensei out of his thoughts. He smiled and replied. "It's nothing you o worry about."

  Daichi looked at Kensei for a sed and then nodded. Daichi at that time smelled the faint sts of tobacco lingering in the air. He also smelled the heavy st of sake. He knew Kensei didn't smoke.

  "Was someone here?" Daichi asked.

  Kensei looked at the kid and sighed. 'His senses are getting sharper and sharper. I nning on keeping Hiruzen's visit to myself for now but…'

  "Yes Daichi. I had an ued visitor this m. But it's nothing you o yourself with. I'll tell you wheime es."

  Daichi was slightly fused but then nodded a go. He had something more important on his mind. "Hey gramps. I'm thinking about w on my taijutsu asu and then some mediinjutsu this year. What do you think?"

  Kehought about the question. The warning Hiruzen had given him about Orochimaru's spy revalent in his mind. "Focus on your taijutsu asu and sharpen the skills you already possess. Learning too many things without mastery of anything won't help you."

  Daiodded and agreed with that assessment. " you tell me about Genjutsu? I want to focus and improve my awareness on it as well."

  Kensei smiled. He motioned for Daichi to e and sit near him. "So you're finally ied huh. The art of Genjutsu. This will take a while to fully expin."

  Daichi focused and paid attention to every word Kensei was going to say.

  "Genjutsu or the Art of Illusions is the third a on of the basibat specialties for a shinobi. Now Taijutsu and Ninjutsu both apply damage or alterations to the physical world while Genjutsu mainly targets the mind."

  Daichi was fused. "But during ht you ged the terrain… How is that…"

  Kensei chucked. "What I did falls under Genjutsu but let me remind you, I did not alter the terrain with genjutsu. I merely pced an illusion on the hole on the ground I created with Ninjutsu… I'll expin… As I said, Genjutsu ot affeon living or enviroal things and physically alter them. Now, genjutsu is the most versatile of the three, but it is also the most difficult to use effectively. Our mind, our imagination, it's limitless. So are the possibilities of genjutsu. It depends on the user. Whether it's a simple distra, or traumatizing someone or an ht powerful atta the psyche of a person, a capable genjutsu user aplish it all."

  Daichi was atteo every word. 'In the show, most characters that genjutsu were used on had a bloodline limit or something else that helped them e it. Mainly the Uchiha and their Sharingan, the Hyuga and the Byakugan, the Rinnegan and Jinchurikis artners with their tailed beasts. pared to the number of shinobi in the world who are not immuo genjutsu this number is very small. While illusions won't be useful against powerful A or S rank ehey will definitely be useful against most people below those ranks. I 't ighis field.'

  Kensei tinued. "Now just like ninjutsu, genjutsu requires usage of hand-seals and precise trol of chakra. There are three ways to utilize genjutsu. All the teiques of the illusion arts fall uhese three categories.

  The first is Sensory-based illusions. The most on type of genjutsu. They target a single or multiple oppos and they have great potential. Many teiques used by the shinobi fall uhis category. A manipution of the target's perception of reality. Chakra enters a person's body and maniputes their senses."

  "The five major senses of the body?!."

  "Yes! The most on is manipution of our vision. The sense of sight. The genjutsu that affects what you see. Make something invisible or ge the appearanake you see something that does.

  Then there is Somatisation. It's the sense of touch. We induce pain, numb the body, ge the perception of temperature and much more.

  Auditory sensation. The Sense of hearing. Maniputing what the enemy hears. It be used to feed false intelligeo create ht throbbing headaches. It be used to annoy your enemy or take away their sense of heariirely.

  Gustatory. Your sense of taste. Now this is one of the rarer types of genjutsu. But with a creative mind it could be very effective.

  Then maniputing the olfactory senses. It's the sense of smell. It could be something as simple as creating the smell of smoke to go along with fire or something simir.

  Then there is the vestibur se dictates our band movements. Our hand-eye coordination will be disrupted if this sense is affected. Now these types of genjutsu are usually B rank and above.

  Now the remaining two main senses are the Temporal and Kihetise. The former deals with trolling the victim's perception of time and the tter manipute the spatial awareness of the body. With this you make your victim lose the feeling of a limb or more… Depends on a creative and slightly sadistid."

  Kensei smirked as he said the st part.

  Daichi slightly grimaced as he looked at the creepy smile on the old man's fabsp;'Yikes!'

  "Now these jutsus affect more senses but they be easy or difficult to notice. Although these teiques are strong they are limited to the minds of those affected after activation. Now remember! All the above fall uhe first category of genjutsu. Sensory based illusions. The important thing to remember is that these jutsus need a trigger to work. Trigger is an a or an object which catches the attention of the target's sehe exception is the wide area effect genjutsu. They use space as the medium."

  "hat they teach us at the academy are peanuts pared to what I just learned."

  Kensei replied hearing the kid. "Yes. They only teach the basics. And information on not just genjutsu but all the ninja arts is restricted. Once a student graduates, only then will they have access to more information and teiques."

  Daiodded. 'Makes sense I guess. Wouldn't owerful teiques to fall into the hands of an irresponsible kid.' "So what's the o two categories?"

  "The sed category is Memory based genjutsu. Like the name suggests, it affeind. Specifically our memories. Now these types of genjutsu require time to activate and need great focus to utilize it otlefield properly. These types of teiques are mainly used in interrogation, pnting false memories and thus false intelligehis type is only used by the Yamanaka due to their strong affinity towards Yin chakra aal manipution."

  Keopped and looked at Daichi. "Now I believe you defend yourself against genjutsu of these two categories. Because these two types of genjutsu are direct type genjutsu that attack the brain and you have immunity against them… Now es the third category. The type of genjutsu you are susceptible to."

  Daichi paid close attention to every word his grandfather spoke. He o be aware of these types of illusions.

  Seeing he had Daichi's undivided attention, Kensei tinued.

  "Optical based Genjutsu. Chakra is used to bend or refract light to modify or create images. These illusions are based on natural illusions in nature like Rainbows or Mirages. Jutsus such as False pt or Haze es fall uhis category. The jutsu I used on you also falls uhis category. These types of jutsus create images out of chakra but do not send them directly to the enemy's mind. It essentially creates a physical Illusion that everyone see."

  "But if we're creating physical images out of chakra and yering them over objects the that fall into the category of Ninjutsu? I thought genjutsu ot be casted on objects with no chakra work…" Daichi questiohe old man.

  "You would think so but no. First this isn't cssified as ninjutsu. These are still illusions. For these types of teiques we use a small amount of Yang chakra in jun with Yin chakra. This also answers your sed question."

  Daiodded. Kensei tinued with his expnation.

  "These types of genjutsu are used to alter the appearance of wide area terrains and such. They are easy to dispel but difficult to notice. But they 't be used to hide or mask a person. Now I want you to knotical illusions do not interfere with your other senses."

  Daichi's eyes widened as heard the st part. "Wait a minute. When you used that bckout genjutsu on me, you said you took away my sight, sound and smell… But now you're telling me…"

  "I lied. I took away yht. That's true. But what I did was make sure to reduce the amount of any sound or smell. The sounds and smell present were muted but they were still there. In the heat of the battle when you heard that I took away three of your senses you didn't think to double check. That's a lesson I want you to keep in your mind. rust your enemy. And be vigint of your allies."

  Daichi thought back to that battle. 'He's right. He only took my sight away but I believed him when he said he took my sense of sound and smell… The root cause of that mistake is trust… In a world full of killers and backstabbers I'll have to be careful not to let my guard down around anyone.'

  "Don't worry. With enough training and experience you'll be able to identify optical Genjutsu…"

  Daichi looked at Kensei and nodded. He then asked his grandfather something that was on his mind. "What about emotions? genjutsu be used to trol a persoions?"

  "Genjutsu affect the senses but it 't trol or ge one's emotions. They are only capable of ily inspiring one's emotions. You create a giant fearsome sh the io scare the target but whether he/she gets scared or not, hoersos… it all depends on them."

  Keook a moment for Daichi to digest all the information. After a while he began expining the st and crucial part of the Genjutsu arts. How to dispel them.

  "Figuring out you're in a genjutsu is only half the battle. Now there are a few methods fatisu and they aren't very difficult. Pain or physical trauma. Either self inflicted or afflicted by the enemy. Now what you o keep in mind is that the pain must be strong enough to overe the mental attack. The seethod is the Genjutsu release Kai. The person stops all flow of chakra in their body aarts their flow. The amount of chakra required depends osu used. The third method is if you are freed by another party. If you have a teammate then he must realize that you're caught in a genjutsu and help you out. This person must make physical tact with the person trapped isu… These are the three major ways someone escape genjutsu… Now some people have natural resistao illusions. Like those with Sharingan and Byakugan. And ordinary shinobi too, over time develop resistao certaisu teiques."

  "Now you have a thh uanding of the Genjutsu arts. Since you're immuo most you won't have to worry that much but it's still prudent that you learn and master the field." Kensei pleted his expnation and ws on the field of genjutsu.

  Daichi was grateful. He now had much better uanding and knowledge on the subject. "I uand. Thank you." 'This seems really iing. The only limit to Genjutsu is one's imagination… I wonder how far I take this field?'
