Jutsu and How to Use ThemJutsu are what ninjas use to fight. There are dozens of Jutsu that vary in type, style and difficulty.
Taijutsu: The art of fighting hand to hand using your body as a weapon. Taijutsu is accurately unarmed fighting, although armed fighting styles (Kenjutsu) are also considered Taijutsu for the most part.
Ninjutsu: As the name implies, Ninjutsu are ninja techniques. These are the most usual way for a Ninja to fight, and involve the widest range of types than any other fighting method. Ninjutsu have a wide variety of types, from simply chakra use, to be able to use items in a special way, or even special abilities running in your family.
Genjutsu: The art of illusion and deception, Genjutsu is used to confuse or distract one's opponent by messing with their senses in order to grant the user the upper hand. Some more powerful Genjutsu can even cause the opponent to become out of combat by putting them asleep, weakening them or simply making them insane.
GenjutsuGenjutsu is the most complex form of battling. Instead of being a direct attack to the body to cause damage, Genjutsu is a method used to deceive the mind and mess with the brain of the opponent, striking to the senses directly. Because this isn't a physical attack, there is no possible way to "dodge" it. The only way to not get into a Genjutsu is by knowing how an opponent would do it and avoid it. However, if you are trapped in a Genjutsu, you can manually break out of it with your intelligence stats.
Genjutsu ranksD rank:These genjutsu are simple and wont have much of an effect on the body
C rank: These genjutsu are the basics and are slightly advanced mind tricks.
B rank: these genjutsu often mess with you physically, but cause no pain.
A rank:The genjutsu cause the body to feel like they are being physically effected for as long as the genjutsu is active.
S rank:These genjutsu cause a mental damage to the brain so strong that the physical body shuts down and is effected even after the genjutsu is dispelled. The pain is felt for 3 post.
How to cast themA genjutsu can by effecting any of the 5 senses of the body. Each way is as followed:
Sound: Sound one of the stronger forms of genjutsu. Those genjutsu that effect the sound work by sending chakra through sound waves. These sound waves then cause the particals in the air, water, ect to vibrate. This chakra charged vibration then enters the ear and travels through the ear drums into the brain.
---
Preventions: However, the vibrations must overpower other vibrations. SO if you stood next to to fighter jet that was taking off ( this is very load ) a sound type genjutsu would not effect you because the sound would have to be louder than other sounds.
Sight:Sight one of the stronger forms of genjutsu and the most common. Genjutsu of this type tend to be a bit more complicated as the target must make eye contact with the "weapon". The weapon is any part of the body, most commonly the eyes, that is used to fire the genjutsu out. This can be any part of your body that you wish to cast the genjutsu from, or some chakra filled item of your choice. None the less, the chakra in your "weapon" will be used to send chakra through the light that is reflected off of the "weapon". The light then travels and enters the eyes where the chakra will travel through the pupils and into the brain.
---
Preventions: However, sight genjutsu can only be done when light is present. So, a pitch black area or a fogged/Misty location would disturb the flow of light and prevent these type of genjutsu.
Taste: Taste is a rather unorthodox form of casting a genjutsu. Taste directly effect the taste buds and therefor someone must consume or taste the object. The most common is chakra filled food. These special types of food hold chakra, and upon consumption, the chakra is released onto the taste buds and genjutsu is casted that way.
---
Preventions The best way to prevent this type of genjutsu is to watch what you eat. As there is nothing you can do to negate the effects or block it, like you would with sight and sound genjutsu.
Touch: Touch is a rather unorthodox form of casting a genjutsu. This is casted from direct skin contact with a chakra filled source. This then travels through the nervous system and effects the brain. Although this is rather unusual, it is the most dangerous because it tends to travel through more nervous networks that what is intended. This causes the genjutsu to be very weak and when you are using a touch genjutsu, you will lose 20 points of intelligence because of this. However, the extra chakra fluctuation through the nervous network has be shown to cause damage and may even paralyze someone for a short amount of time.
---
Preventions: the best way to prevent this is to coat your body with chakra to negate the effects of the chakra entering your nervous system.
Smell: Smell is probably the hardest way to preform a genjutsu because a constant aroma must be kept. However, this is the strongest because smell will often effect taste and sight was well. This is why smoke genjutsu are so dangerous because the smell is tasted and it also burns the eyes. A tipical genjutsu of this type enters the noise and travels almost instantly to the brain. However, the user will also taste it and it may also effect the eyes
---
Preventions To prevent a smell type genjutsu, you must be in a well ventilated area, this is why these types of genjutsu are almost never seen in an open battle field
Pain:
For those genjutsu that are A rank and below, you will have the option of using pain to your advantage. Cutting yourself of inflicting a great deal of pain on your body is enough to over power the sensation of a genjutsu. However, we have provided the pain scale for you. This scale will explain what type of pain is needed to break out of a genjutsu of that rank
Pain scale:D rank: A light scratch.
C rank: A small cut that draws blood
B rank: A large cut that gushes out blood
A rank: The breaking of bone.
