Welcome to Gaia! ::

Going through the large alphabet of scrolls all related to her illusion jutsu, Lahlil began her studies with quite possibly the simplest one she could manage. Mostly because it had to do with calming people rather than instigating a fight with them. Removing her tiny wooden flute from her pack Lahlil preformed the justu just as it told of in the scroll. Focusing her chakra to weave in between the musical notes. The end result? A comforting melody echoed throughout the halls, and though there might have been no one else to hear it. Lahlil herself could attest to it working as the smooth music whispered in her mind of gentler things. In truth it was hard for her to even put down her flute as this had been her first real moment of relaxation in her life that she could remember. Regretfully she placed her flute on the table beside her. Definitely remember that one.. [1/1] Kaiteki Uta [ Comfort Song ]

The next jutsu in Lahlil's list seemed that it may require other person to fully make sure that she had gotten the effects correct. So Lahlil did what any sensible person in her shoes would do. Avoid human contact and test the genjutsu on herself. Since genjutsu was in essence the art of creating illusions Lahlil had to focus on what she wanted the illusion to create. Once she was sure that she had the desired effect Lahlil triggered her chakra within herself and in less than a moment everything around her was cloaked an deep darkness that sucked up all sources of light. Feeling it enchroaching around her Lahlil quickly snapped out of the genjutsu for fear that it would even consume her very mind. Breathing out in ragged breathes Lahlil decided to take a short break after that. [1/1] Kokuangyou no Jutsu [ Journey into Black Darkness Technique ] learned.

For the next genjutsu Lahlil would simply have to trust that her natural talent for preforming genjutsu since she still refused to make contact with another human being. Following the instructions for Lahlil preformed the hand signs and controlled her chakra in order to create the illusion that she had actually disappeared the moment before an oppoents attack. Of course it was hard to judge without seeing it first hand, Lahlil was confident that she had preformed it well enough. In fact with how well her training was going despite not having teacher with her... well maybe she really did have a talent for this? Is seemed extraordinary that she could be good at anything. Let alone having something that could suit her so well! With this power I won't even have to fight anyone! Heh I'm really gonna do it. I'm going to be the first pacifist ninja.. [1/1] Hitoshirenu Shikaku no Jutsu [ Hidden Assassin Technique ] Learned.

Thankfully the next jutsu could be done well enough without the help of another. Preforming the needed handseals once again Lahlil summoned up her chakra only to have it envelop her in a whisk of purple flower petals. Further more these petals didn't just come from Lahlil herself, but it was as if Lahlil was actually becoming the petals. In a brilliant and showy flash Lahlil was gone and and reappeared a short movement later as if by teleport. [1/1] Kurenai's Flower Petal Escape [ Unnamed ]

In much the same way Lahlil chose to learn the calming song jutsu to relax people this jutsu caught her eye for it's calming effect as well. Working out the hand seals required Lahlil set out to work manipulating her chakra to warp around into a illusion. This specific illusion? Simple. Lahlil would create a calm and relxed mood in her target as she spoke the trigger words. They would simply be set adrift in the sky as if they had become clouds. [1/1] Kumo Yotogi [ Cloud Watching ] learned.

The next jutsu was another of one she would have to take on blind faith, but from the way her other training had gone Lahlil figured she had it down pat. Imagining that an enemy was rushing towards her Lahlil formed a single hand sign and her genjutsu would take a hold. Though there were no targets near her to use it on, if there had been they would see a genjutsu illusion of Lahlil avoid deftly here and attack. Of course the real Lahlil would have not moved at all and could use this time bought to defend herself. [1/1] Mougo Shibaku no Jutsu [ False Strike Technique ] learned.

The next jutsu was chosen mostly out of it's interesting applications. Picking up her flute once more Lahlil used her handsigns in order to manipulate her chakra into place a genjutsu around the flute itself. With a lot of work and careful attention to detail Lahlil was able to form a veil of chakra around it, using it to morph before her very eyes until it at least took the shape of an apple. Hopping up in her excitement Lahlil marveled at her new creation, that in every way shape and form seemed to perfectly replicate a real apple. [1/1] Kokohi no Jutsu [ False Place Technique ] learned.

Another genjutsu that managed to catch Lahlil's eye was one that had quite the interesting effects. So apparently with this jutsu I'm can layer a second one on top of somebody? Interesting. With a little extra fancy footwork Lahlil got to work practicing by using her false strike technique and paying the chakra needed in advance to weave her darkness jutsu over it. It was actually a fairly interesting style. It felt more like she was knitting than anything else and Lahlil wondered if perhaps there was a more advanced method of this same style of jutsu. If so then layering more and different types of genjutsu would certainly be worth while. [1/1] Magen: Nijū Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu [ Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique ] learned.

After reading through her pile of scrolls again Lahlil spotted a neat little trick. Ooo so with this genjutsu I can rearrange my surroundings? That's rather interesting I suppose it's like the big brother version of her newly acquired false place genjutsu. Studying the handseals Lahlil used it on her current surrounding, though nothing too fancy since she was too scared to get into trouble. Instead she made one of the book shelves disappear and replaced it with a door that would seemingly lead to another room. Walking up to it Lahlil tested it out first by kicking and then by trying to open said door. All of which seemed to check out as a normal locked door. [1/1] Aki no Hibiki [ Echo of Autumn ] learned.

The next genjusu seemed nearly perfect for her. Basically it was a way for her to stop someone's movements by holding their mind in place with genjutsu. A perfect jutsu if could could have teammates to finish them off or if she could find other way.. Placing her thoughts to the side Lahlil set to work on learning the genjutsu. To be honest memorizing these hand signs was getting a little tedious but her determination carried her though. After performing the jutsu Lahlil held it still as if her life depended on it, which in all honestly it probably will at some point. Now from what the scroll- the moment Lahlil's thoughts took hold she could feel the jutsu slip from her fingers like a trying to hold onto a fish. "Ack! I guess it really wasn't lying when the scroll said you couldn't even think of something while using it.." [1/1] Atama Kusari No Jutsu [ Chained Mind Technique ] learned.

Using the last of her energy Lahlil jumped right into the next jutsu before exhaustion overtook her. Unfortunately this one would be the hardest she had to learn so far seeing as how the last jutsu she learned was the last of the lower ranked ones that had peaked her interest. Lahlil figured that approaching this genjutsu as such would allow her to be more successful, so she broke it down into two parts. The first being her mastery over the seals and manipulating her chakra to cast the basics of the illusion. Of course this wasn't too hard seeing as how she had just spent the last two hours learning how to do just that basically. [1/2]

Now onto the second portion of the technique. After finishing up her handseals for the fist time Lahlil began the process of actually changing her chakra into the illusion which was much harder than all the other ones combined based solely off of the fact of how much detail and sense manipulating went into this genjutsu. Even this strenuous effort seemed to fold underneath her natural talent however, as Lahlil managed to create her beautiful art. In a brief flash of a step Lahlil would disappear before her opponents very eyes. During this time she would be invisible to her opponent though she should be careful of using the genjtsu in this seeing as how an enemy would most certainly be alert after they witnessed their enemy vanishing from their very eyes. Next and assuming there was an actual foe to fight then a tree would quickly grow beneath their feet that would trap in it's roots the faster it 'grew up'. Of course Lahlil would be behind this with a mild paralytic effect to only make them feel like they were trapped. From there it was on lock down as Lahlil would morph out of the tree and do.. whatever it was she needed to. Though Lahlil would most preferably knock her enemy out cold. [2/2] Jubaku Satsu [ Tree Binding Death ] learned.

Reading through her first scroll had remembered why this jutsu had applied to her so much. In the same way as she had been doing before Lahlil used her chakra to form into her hand and create a veil of parasitic chakra. In this way the genjtsu was much different in of the others she had cast in that she had to perfectly create the chakra in order to infect the target and alter their perception. [1/2] With part of the genjutsu completed Lahlil focused on creating the jutsu once more now that she had the pattern needed to create it down. With this complete she recreated a scenario where she would need to infect her enemy with her chakra, which would be no easy task considering she was rather frail for her age. Either way if everything went according to plan then the foe would be effected by her chakra and cause them to fall asleep for as long as they were under her spell. [2/2] Nemuri [ Sleep ] Learned.

The next genjutsu was more of the big brother to her calming and chained mind spells. After careful reading of different accounts in which it was used along with some handy notes from it's original creator, Who also happened to have impeccable handwriting. Lahlil retrieved her flute and began playing out a one of her favorite melodies while doing her up most to weave her chakra into the music. [1/2] Of course even with her natural genjutsu skill Lahlil was by no means a performer and had a little trouble with creating a tune let alone weaving her chakra into something that wasn't already alive. With plenty of practice and a few tricks that she had picked up using her calming mind jutsu Lahlil was able to manage however, and the end result was a genjutsu that could paralyze a target within her hearing range. [2/2] Shiin's Kanashibari Music [ Unnamed ] Learned.

Before getting to work on her jutsu Lahlil by busy looking woman with sharp pointed glasses that hung just barely off her nose. "Excuse me miss but I am required to hand these out to all aspiring genin capable of preforming their own training." Without waiting fr her reply the woman dropped a stack of papers on Lahlil's arms and was off. A little disgruntled at the woman's behavior Lahlil set the paper down and leafed through their contents. Apparently they were all missions that could be completed for rewards, the most promising of which was to learn a jutsu. Well I'm already doing that .. guess I might as well earn some money for it.. With renewed enthusiasm Lahlil got to work on her list of genjtusu. Which as anyone could probably guess, was another trapping genjutsu. Specifically picked up to immobilize her foes, though this particularly one was inspired by a little of her home effects. Beginning by repeating the hand signs over and over again Lahlil made certain that she was both comfortable with them as well as being able to perform unconsciously under the pressure of battle. [1/2] With this completed Lahlil focused her chakra into what her actually illusion would be. The first part would be a distorting of the enemies vision, with this in place she would be able to create a prison of sand in the targets mind. As long as the genjutsu would persist the targets mind wouldn't allow them to leave the prisons confines. Perfect for helping to shut her enemies down. [2/2] Gensou Kinko no Suna [ Illusionary Sand Prison ] Learn a jutsu x1 complete!

Selecting the next genjutsu she wished to learn Lahlil found a pair that matched with one she had already learned. Interesting, it looks like I can increase it's power by using them in conjunction? That's sure to come in handy at some point I'm sure. Utilizing the same method as before Lahlil spent her first part of her training memorizing the hand signs for the jutsu. It would do her no good to get good with something, only to have forgotten how to preform the very technique later! [1/2] With this finished Lahlil focused on using the genjutsu twice. The first time would be when she used it on it's own, which would cause the enemy to see a cloud rush towards them rather unnaturally. Then whisk them high into the air where they would feel the terrible effect of crashing down to the earth at alarming speeds. The second time she preformed the genjutsu Lahlil's foe would already be under the effects of her cloud watching genjutsu, which in that case the enemy would simply slam back down to earth though at a much more frightening rate than if used without synergies.

Despite how insidious the next genjutsu Lahlil was planning on learning seemed. She figured it was probably still one of the better choices for her. Turns out I can do a lot of harm to people's mind with this gift.. I better limit it to only trapping or unconscious effects. At the very least this was very simple one to learn and didn't require much on her part other than the effect of touching the enemy. [1/2] Getting to work to manipulating her illusion Lahlil would cause the enemy to believe they are breathing in dirt. Another interesting genjutsu since she just happened to live in the sand village it would be completely believable that she could cause the sand or dirt to rush into's someone's mouth and cause a choking effect. At the very least even if the enemy is very confronting this should cause them to put their assault on hold. [2/2] Hitoiki no Chiri [ Breath of Dirt ] Learned. Learn a jutsu x3 completed!

With the completion of the last jutsu Lahlil had managed to finish one of the quests that the woman had handed her on the sheet. Finding her a little ways down the hall filling her nails Lahlil stepped up to her and slapped the completed mission papers along ith what jutsu she learned right in her face. Or at least she did in her mind, in actuality Lahlil meekly handed her the mission status and collected her reward before rushing off to learn more genjutsu. Hopping right into the next jutsu, which was by the way was much more up to speed with Lahlil's style. A simple voice of persuasion genjutsu that would allow her to gently push a person into seeing things her way. [1/2] Quite handy in prickly situations or if she needed to get information out of the general populace in an unknown location. Though she couldn't really see herself leaving the village for any reason or another it would be good to have. Working out the hand seals Lahlil flowed the essence of her chakra into her voice and weaved her mind alerting ability into what would be her furture target. [2/2] Tokitsukeru no Koe [ Voice of Persuasion ] Learned.

Lahlil was starting notice a trend with how much more dangerous these genjutsu were getting the higher level she reached. Sighing to herself she went ahead with her training and picked up her methods to hopefully speed up this process from dragging on any longer. Instead of learning any kind of hand signs Lahlil once more picked up her flute and begin the arduous task of weaving her chakra in her music. [1/2] No matter how many times she practiced however, it seemed she could never really make any headway in this area. Lahlil just wasn't didn't have the talent for creating impassioned art. Thankfully it was enough for her to at least [reform the genjutsu with enough ease and to any enemy that was in listening range, Lahlil would be able to spring the genjutsu on them. Creating thick silver chains to erupt from the ground and engulf her foe. crushing them in their strength they would be mocked by their loved ones that would seemingly come from all directions. [2/2] Mateki: Mugen Onsa [ Demon Flute: Phantom Sound Chains ] Learned.

With her next genjusu Lahlil drew inspiration from her breath of dirt technique and looked for other earth based genjutsu since that's what she assumed most people would assume that's the kind of ninjutsu she would use. With the creation of her hand seals Lahlil would only need to make contact with her enemy. At this rate her chakra control had to be improving miles over what it had been considering how many times she's had to use it in such fine details in her illusions. [1/2] Once she thought that she would ready enough Lahlil would release the genjutsu and though there was no one that she could test it on nearby, Lahlil was confident that the release of chakra was described the same as it was in the scroll. Which means the her enemy would soon believe that their body was slowly turning to stone, and over the course of a few minutes Lahlil's enemy would be completely frozen in stone and pass out from being unable to breathe. [2/2] Ishi Karada Tenka [ Stone Body Transformation ] Learned.

Finding her grove in learning one offensive genjutsu and one with much more.. gentler applications. Lahlil picked the next genjutsu for the very simple reason that she could manipulate emotions with it. Though the jutsu was very simplistic Lahlil was able to master it much faster than she believed she would for such a high level jutsu. [1/2] Spending some time reflecting on this Lahlil decided it was best to practice it on herself and see exactly what the results would be. A quick set of handselas and Lahlil could feel.. comfort but it.. felt wrong, unnatural, and forced. Taking a second approach she figured that a slow and steady hand was much effective. The emotions have to flow and be minimal. Don't just push with your full weigh, but instead lead them to where you want them to go and let them walk the distance. [2/2] Ataeru Kanjoo no Jutsu [ Inflict Emotion Technique ] Learned.

As key to her learning regime Lahlil started studying another of the more frightening genjutsu that she had found. While not particularly scary unless the enemy has certain fears, Lahlil would not want to be on the reviving end of it. After learning the required hand seals once more Lahlil morphed her chakra into what would be opponent through the form of a phantasm. [1/2] With this stage completed Lahlil cause the enemy to be dropped down into a deep dark hole a hundred miles from the surface. All the while a slimy coat in would spread all over the walls and ideally trap them within the genjutsu. A real bad time for anybody that was claustrophobic if you asked Lahlil. [2/2] Konrinzai no Jutsu [ Deepest Part of the Earth Technique ] Learned.

The next skill to be added to Lahlil's repertoire was a defensive genjutsu that even she felt was a little cowardly. Regardless! She wasn't about to a silly thing like pride get in the way of running away. Plus it's always good to have a back up plan right? Lahlil tried to convince herself but it only made her feel more like she wanted a way out in case things got to scary. [1/2] Studying the hand seals Lahlil added her chakra into them and like a actor, took a dive. Of course this is only what her foe would see. Much like the false strike Lahlil's genjutsu clone would take the hit and make it seem like she had actually been killed right in the nick of time by the enemy and allow her the time needed to escape. [2/2] Niseshi no Gijutsu [ Art of Fake Death ] Learned.

With this Lahlil had hoped that her learning og the general genjutsu would come to a close and she could finally move onto her bloodline, which she had been burning to read more of. Grabbing the last scroll Lahlil read through it with considerably less passion that when she had first started tackling her endeavor. Another defensive genjutsu that Lahlil could use to her advantage against a taijutsu based opponent. [1/2] The basic idea was that lightning would strike near an enemy and cause them to move out of the way to avoid getting shocked to death.Though the lighting strikes would feel real and bring with them real pain, there would be no actual damage done to them and it was used to keep a foe on the defensive since the lightning would strike with them as the moved about. [2/2] Raikou Ame no Jutsu [ Lightning Rain Technique ] Learned.

With her training in high level genjutsu complete for now Lahlil picked up each and every one of her scrolls and began taking them away to their individual places when one of them fell to the ground. As she bent over to pick it up Lahlil adopted a curious expression as she hadn't remember taking it off the shelf. Looking around to see if it was someone's idea of a prank Lahlil carefully unwrapped the scroll and.. Lahlil's face had never turned so beet red so fast in her entire life and quickly rolled it up in case someone caught her staring at it. Oh.. well there's no hurt in learning one more right? Seeking a corner that was as secluded as possible Lahlil used the single hand sign needed to preform the ninjutsu. In a moment noticed she was light up by smoke that gave her quite the.. manly appearance. Even though it just rethought transformation jutsu Lahlil's face still turned red and she couldn't bring herself to look down eventually releasing the jutsu under threat of passing out from the lewdness. [1/1] Oiroke no Jutsu [ Sexy Technique ] Learned.

With her training in normal genjutsu complete Lahlil figured that it was about time that she tackled her own bloodline jutsu. A nervous trickle escaped down her spine as she unclasped the scroll and began her reading through the many pages of her clans history. With each page she turned she felt her knuckles going white with a flurry of emotions. This is what her mother had hid from her and this is why she got rid of her, so she wouldn't have to deal loving a burden of child who had the gall to be born with such a wicked curse. Lahlil shut her eyes tight as if she could make it all go away, but this only played to the wickedness inside her and in response to her growing anger. Her doujutsu awakened once again after a very long time. [1/12] Blood red eyes snapped wide to look at the world around in a new light. Everywhere she looked she could see the lines of reality as if she could reach out and touch them, bend them to change how she wanted. Through all her disgust and pain Lahlil hoped. Perhaps irrationally that she could make a new place for herself with these eyes, a world where she could be anything she wanted. A smile crept through her tears and Lahlil sat alone her in her chair all the while feeling felt each and every pulse from her eyes leaving them open for longer than she ever had before. [2/12]

With a tentative hand Lahlil reached out towards the unknown source of power that lay waiting inside her, but like a violent fire it lashed out at her touch and in a flash Lahlil saw herself as a little girl. Beaten, abused, and reliving every torture with her mother- no that person. Every smack and missed meal that she pushed her weakened body through for no other reason than her wanting her mothers love. The nights she spent alone in the corner of a broken down room. [3/12] Then white once more and Lahlil was a girl of five, stuck inside a dog cage watching with large eyes while she watched men born of the blackest souls exchange money, people, and blood. Lahlil remembered this time as after her mother had traded her to the raiders. Reaching out to grab her only possession at the time, a wooden dog bowl that she ate from and hugging it to her chest Lahlil started laughing. [4/12]

Her fit of laughter echoed throughout her mind getting progressively louder and louder until ti cracked everything around it like glass. Each snap and crunch left behind nothing but blackness until Lahlil was alone in the space of her mind. Clutching her dog bowl until her finger were bleeding a flash of white struck once more and Lahlil rocked back in her chair like the force of some demonic hand had shaken her back. Shivering in her cold sweat Lahlil looked down at her hands to find that she had still been holding her dog bowl. A relic of the past that had made it's way back into her life through the sheer power of her eyes. [5/12] Out of instinct Lahlil looked up drew from her power once again though the understanding had slipped past her Lahlil drew from the suffering of her entire life like it was a great pool of power waiting for the day she drew from it unconsciously. All the while it built up inside her Lahlil had no clue what to do with it all. She could feel it wanting to pour out so she did want she thought was the best choice, Lahlil cast a genjutsu. Her journey into darkness wrapped around her like a fog rapidly expanding out of her control. Except the moment she took away her supply of emotions and chakra the whole cloud burst like a balloon. [6/12]

Lahlil's brow furrowed in confusion well she pondering what had gone wrong a backlash of her build up of emotions struck at her psyche that caused her to reel backwards to pain. Gasping desperately for air Lahlil realized her mistake. These emotions of suffering would be let out one way or another and if Lahlil wasn't able to master it through the use of her genjutsu then they would consume her right here and now. [7/12] In a panic she rushed back to her bloodline's scrolls desperately seeking an answer through he mountains of text. Come on come on! There has to be something here that can lead me to it!? Oh maybe I should find the Hokage and other higher ranked ninja. The more the panic overtook her the more she tossed pages of the scroll and getting no closer to the answer when a voice ripped through her thoughts like paper. [8/12]

Lahlil froze in place and turned around like a frightened deer as the unrecognized voice radiated strength and a ferocity that she never even imagined one person could have. SIT DOWN AND RELAX. IF YOU PANIC NOW YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT. Strangely the voice spoke with Lahlil's own voice but she knew that it wasn't her who had thought it. Even still whatever had happened the voice had grounded all of her thoughts and emotions in one swift motion. [9/12] Heading whatever had spoken in her thoughts Lahlil picked up all the pages she had thrown about and sat through each of them carefully but with a quickened pace she read them all until she came across a section that seemed best suited to help her. It should be noted that this jutsu pulls from the suffering of the user to empower genjutsu cast. But the user must be wary as it can easily overpower the whole thing if the user cannot both control how much strength they draw from, and cannot properly weave it into their casting. [10/12]

Just as she suffered from another attack Lahlil held onto the desk desperate for support until the pain mercifully retreated. With the last of her resolve Lahlil pulled from her suffering once more though this time in bits that she found she could easily command. [11/12] With this accomplished Lahlil built her power into the genjutsu while she cast it. Under the new influence Lahlil found that the whole process was much like she had done with her genjutsu in the past. The key was weaving the suffering as she had her chakra into the genjutsu at the moment of casting. Thus creating her new strengthened form of genjutsu. [12/12] Kugai [ World of Suffering ] Learned.
