Suno's Training

[suno]

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots small gout of flame towards the opponent.
Special: Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.
Limit: Fire Release

The young Uchiha walked silently in the dark. His Sharingan was active, letting him see just as easily in the dark as if it was a sunny day. Water drops could be heard falling to the moist ground below. The dark cavern had been a place he had discovered long ago..with a former teammate. It was here that his Sharingan originally awoken. The bloodlust, and tainted blood of his teammate had caused him to go wild. The duo engaged in combat. Suno tried to restrain, tried to wear down his teammate. But in the end he was forced to kill him. It was the first time he had ever taken a life. It haunted him for a long time. In truth, Suno couldn't even remember his name.That only made it worst. He was the child's best friend. He wish he had been as strong as he was now. He would have been able to stop..been able to calm his friend down. Suno had buried the body down here. Later on, he found out this his friend had been reported as a missing ninja. Even still to this day.

He came to an opening out of the tunnel. The cavern that the tunnel opened up to was large. Vary large. The apartment he and his family lived in in the city above was tiny compared to the Cavern. Off near the corner, a small pool of clear water sat perfectly still. Near the pool, a small hill of soft earth sat. He felt a longing in his heart to go and sit on the hill. He knew buried below, his beloved friend slept for all eternity. But that is not why he was here. He needed to train. He needed to become stronger. He wanted to protect his village. He had to show that the AmeKage's trust in him was not misplaced. He knew of no better place to train his skills, and expand his explosive power in a safe way.

In the dark, he spotted what he was looking for. A bunch of old candles they use to use when they came down here. At the time, Suno was not blessed with his Uchiha site. While he no longer needed it, he wanted to light them and provide a warm light to work with. He pulled out a book from his bag. The cover of the Book had a symbol for fire engraved on it. Flipping through the pages, he found the one he had ear marked. Fire Style: Inferno Technique. It was an extremely simple technique, a skill his power had already surpassed. But simple skills could be just as useful and deadly as more complex skills. Running his hands over the pages, he found the seals. He had already looked at them, but true to his nerdy, bookworm nature, he wanted to review. The seals were simple and easy to remember.

He performed them a couple times in different stances, trying to add the seals to his muscle memory. When he felt satisfied, he moved on toward practicing the movements with the seals. Unlike some other releases, the fire techniques required the user to aim the attack with their hand. Taking a deep breath, he performed the seals, and practiced the added motion of bringing his hands up to his mouth. He didn't infuse any chakra with his breath however. Once again, he felt satisfied he was comfortable with all the movements associated with the technique. It was time to perform the technique.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he settled himself. When found the balance he was looking for, he took one more deep breath and began performing the seals. Forcing his chakra to flow toward his lungs, he could feel the energy mixing with the oxygen. As he exhaled, the energy would combust as it hit the cool air. A flash of light exploded before him, racing away from him. The Flames would lick the candles, cause them to all ignite. The air in his lungs would give out, causing the jet of flame to cease. The light however did not fade. Suno looked around at the dancing shadows jumping off the walls. In truth, he missed this place. It was quiet. It was far removed from the noise bustle of the city above.

Taking his stance again, Suno would prepare himself to perform the technique once more. AS he took a deep breath, just as before he would began performing the seals. "Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger" he thought to himself. Infusing the air once again, he exhaled and felt the warm blast of air hit his face as the flames exploded forward from his mouth. This time he aimed the flame above him. The cavern was so large, the end of the flame was just barley touching the ceiling. Suno felt content he had mastered the technique and looked around once again. It was time to give this place a few homey touches.

Some weeks had past since Suno had returned to the underground cavern. He had spent the majority of his time between missions and his family down in the dark cave and tunnels. He spent a good deal of time reinforcing weak points, and making the cavern a little more homey. A bed, bookshelves, a desk and come chairs had all been brought down and installed in a corner. Candles had also been placed all over the cavern to provide some light when he was down there. Training dummies and various other equipment had been slowly brought down as well. He wanted this place to be his home away from home. Somewhere he could train for long hours in solitude and increase his strength without worry of hurting someone, or someone watching him. He had certain skills in mind that he wanted to work on. Skills that could potentially hurt someone if they happened on him at the wrong moment. He also wanted to work and train with his Ocular jutsus. His Sharingan was his greatest weapon and it was time for him to really work with it as well.

It was past mid day when Suno found himself in the cavern. His puppet had been left at home. He planned to continue his work with his fire techniques. There was one more he wanted to work on before he started other skills. He had done plenty of missions, and felt his powers had grown considerably since he left the academy, that soon it would be time to join the Chunin exams. However, he knew he needed to diversify his skills a little before he did so. The flicker of light caused the shadows to dance on the walls. He stood in front of one of the bookcases he had brought down searching for a book he had been using earlier. Finding the book, he flipped through the pages until he found one of the several pages he had ear marked.

The Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique) was a move that had jumped out at him when he was flipping through the book a few weeks earlier. It was similar to the fireball technique, with some minor differences. One of the big differences was that this technique worked better if the opponent was tied down. Where his fireball jutsu could explode and cause mass damage, the Dragon fire technique seemed to be a very focus attack. Trying to perform this technique while an opponent was jumping around and dodging would be impossible.

Sitting in the middle of the cavern, he read through the technique. He read about the handseals, and and the motions he would have to make. He noticed the many similarities it had to other fire release techniques. He would began to perform the hand seals slowly much like he had done a few weeks earlier with the inferno technique. He performed other technique seals and then would rapidly try and perform the handseals for Ryuuka no Jutsu. It took him several tries to get it right. But when he felt he had the seals memorized in his mind, he began to work on his form. Like the fireball technique, and like the Inferno Technique, he had to perform the seals, then bring his hand to his mouth and aim the technique. After a few practices, he felt ready to actually perform the skill.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly performed the seals and put his hand up to his mouth. Forming the cup around his mouth, he closed his eyes. He tapped into the power that flowed through his body, focuing it on the air in his lungs. Opening his eyes, he forced the air from his lungs and out of his mouth. As soon as the air left his lips, and touched the cool outside air, a spark exploded and a flash of flame exploded forth. A formation began to take place in the fire as a creature was created in the flames. Suno could feel the warm air on his face.

The fire creation danced as it flew away from him and hit the solid stone wall. Suno was happy enough with the technique. It did what it was suppose to. He practiced again aiming at the stone wall. The wall he was aiming at was where the pool of water was in the cavrn. Here it was away from everything else, and he didn't have to worry about something catching on fire. Performing the seals, and taking special precautions to watch and note that the fire creation formed properly, he shot off another shot of the jutsu and watched as the dragon danced over the water before hitting the wall.

The last test he wanted to do with the skill before he felt confident he had it down, was to use it in combination with wire. In the book he had read, it suggested using the skill with wire to help lock down your opponent. He had found some old wire that was beyond use in the field, as well as an old training dummy from the academy that they were throwing out. He would quickly set up the dummy near the pool, and wrap some of the old wire, careful not to snap it. Quickly moving a safe distance, he held the wire in his fingers. Performing the seals, he formed a cup around his mouth, careful to leave the wire right where his lips parted, he blew forth another flaming dragon. He watched the creature run from him. He noticed its movements where much straighter and faster as it followed the wire to the dummy. He watched as the wooden training tool was suddenly erased in flames. He imagined if that had been a person, he would smell cook flesh in the air.
"One down, a lot more to go.." saying to himself. The young Uchiha could hear his soft words echoing off the walls around him.

Suno breaked for lunch after training with the Dragon Fire Technique. He drank plenty of water to cool off and help heal the inside of his mouth, and the slight burns around his lips. As much work as he has put in with the fire release, his one and only chakra nature that he had worked with so far, the fire still burnt his lips and inside his cheeks. He knew this was a sign that he had yet to master the fire release. While he ate his lunch, he thought about which technique he should work on next. He knew it couldn't be a fire skill, his mouth was already sore and he didn't wanna push it. He thought about some normal ninjutsu techniques he saw in an old scroll he had "borrowed" from the academy library years ago and never returned. Getting up from the table, he grabbed the old scroll and started rummaging through it until he found a couple techniques he was looking for. The first was particular interesting to him because he could think of all sorts of ways to use it.

Ninpou: Kari Shuriken (Ninja Art: Hunting Shuriken), was a skill that he could use in a variety of ways. Especially with how he has chosen to fight. From the shadows, and far away. A skill he could use to silently hunt for his prey was a skill that could be invaluable to him. While he ate, he read over the scroll and quickly picked up the basic fundamentals. The seals were simple and rather basic. He started to look around the room trying to figure out how he would train the skill. He wanted to have them chase something, but he wasn't about to use a real body, or his puppet. He saw something in the water just then. A large chunk of the training dummy he had been using earlier was floating, chard from the fire blast it had taken earlier. Well that was better than using his dummy. Getting up, leaving his mostly eaten lunch behind him, he stood on the waters edge, he pulled out a kunai from his pocket, and focused his chakra to the weapon. He would create a string to try and connect himself to the broken dummy. Hurling the weapon away from him, he heard a loud thud as the weapon implanted itself inside wood. pulling back on the string, he fished the dummy out of the water.

He held onto the dummy, or what was left, and attacked a string to that next. It was easier than he though to move the dummy. It essentially was a poorly made puppet. It moved where ever he forced it to go. Walking back to the scroll, he took a look at the seals once more, and began to perform them a few times, saying each seal as he did it. He knew the skill would allow him to change the shuriken into hunters either before or after he threw them. He was going to practice both.

Playing with the dummy a little more to try and get the hang of using something other than his own puppet. When he was content with that, he casted the dummy back toward the pool. Grabbing some old, dull shuriken he used for training, he put them in his pockets for easy access while he performed the seals. Taking a deep breath, he took his stance and got back to work. Quickly and easily performing the handseals, he reached into his pockets and poured chakra he had been building up into the weapons. Taking them out, he hurled the ones in his right hands, than his left. Quick as he could, he reestablish control of the dummy and began to move it. This was quick, and hard work. The Shuriken were already half way to their target by the time he managed to reestablish the connection. Moving it at the last minute, he dummy dodged the first wave of the technique and watched with fastination as the weapons began to u-turn and search for the target. Making the dummy dance farther away, the weapons quickly followed and eventually overtook the dummy. A couple loud thunks could be heard as the dull metal tore into the soft, old wood.

Feeling into his pockets, he had four more of his training weapons left. He knew he was gonna have to strain himself in a second with what he was going to have to do. Pushing the dummy farther away, it was going to be much tougher to reestablish a connection and move the dummy before the weapons hit it this time. He was going to try and affect the weapons while they were already thrown. A harder part of the technique.

Taking his stance once more, when he was ready, he quickly dug into his pockets and dug out the weapons. Hurling them hard and fast at the fart out dummy. While the quickly flew away from him, Suno performed the same seals he had done moments earlier. He thursted out his chakra toward the weapons. He quickly threw out his chakra strings and began to make the dummy move, narrowly avoiding the weapons. Just as before, he watched as the weapons turned and chased after its target. Just as before, the weapons soon overtook the dummy, and embedded themselves into the wood with an audible thunk. satisfied with his work, he used his chakra string to bring the dummy back so he could retrieve his training shuirken. He was going to need them again.

Suno was on his knees at the waters edge, taking his shuriken out of the dummy. The Used dummy was burnt, wet, and just completely used up. Putting the training weapons in his pocket, he brought the dummy over to a little garbage pile he had going. Walking back to the table he had been eating at, he flipped the page to the next technique he wanted to work on. Ninpou: Shuriken Mokuzai Jiten (Ninja Art: Shuriken Lumber Spin) The last technique was a great way for him to hunt out his enemies from the shadow. This technique was a great way to add power and strength to his throws in a simple way. The technique was simple and very similar to the Kari Shuriken (Ninja Art: Hunting Shuriken), so Suno figured he would be able to catch on fairly quickly. The seals were even similar to the last technique. He figured if anything, he was gonna have to be careful not to mix the two up.

Getting up from where he was sitting, Suno walked over to where his other training dummies were. These were in much better conditions, but still had been tossed out for being old and defective. Setting them up at different distances, he took a step back to admire his work. Satisfied, he went back to the book and began to practice the handseals. Much like the first technique, he could either perform the seals before or after he threw the weapons. Like before he decided it would be best to practice with both to get a sense of how either would work in combat. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. Eyes still closed, he began to slowly performing the seals. After a few attempts, he decided he was ready to perform the technique.

Walking over and taking position, he took a deep breath and readied himself. He could feel the flow of his chakra, grabbing on to it, he focused it toward his hands. Performing the seals slowly, he quickly reached into his pockets and grabbed the weapons. As he pulled it out, he quickly threw them as hard as he could toward the dummies. The weapons raced away from him. Spinning faster than he though possible, the first three shuriken hit the closest dummy. The weapons dug in deep shredding the wood. Suno smiled. Had that been a person, that attack would have seriously done some eternal damage. Walking up to the dummy, he tug on the weapon and was amazed how deep they dug in. Trying to force it out, he eventually gave up and accepted he had three less training shuriken.

Still he was amazed at the power this simple little technique gave the weapons. Taking his place, he aimed for the dummy that was the farthest away. Taking a deep breath and repeating what he had done only moments earlier, he grabbed the weapons in his pocket and tossed three more. Performing the seals, he watched as suddenly, mid-air, the weapons began to increase their speed and spin power. A loud thud could be heard moments later as chunks of wood flew up. Tearing deep into the dummy, the Shuiken stopped. A smirk crossed Suno's face. This was all too easy.

Over the next thirty minutes or so, Suno continued to practice and play with the technique. Running, jumping, he performed it in various ways, when he was finish, he was covered in sweat, and breathing heavy. Smiling, he decided he had enough of this technique. How much more could he do? Taking a seat back at the table, he smiled and closed his eyes trying to catch his breath.

Phantasm Perception
Rank: "D"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: Jutsu allows the user to perform Phantasm Perceptions.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique does not count against the user's Perception Training Points. Phantasms can only be perceived by the user and target, unlike the previous 3 Perceptions. The impression created by a Phantasm exists only in the mind and is personalized for everyone perceiving it. All phantasms are therefore, Mind-Affecting Jutsus. Nightmare is a good example of such a Phantasm. If you want to keep your actions secret from everyone but your subjects, Phantasm is a good choice, whether you want to frighten or to deliver a message.

The young Uchiha floated naked in the pool inside the cavern. The clear, cool water was refreshing on his skin after the small workout he had done with the last several jutsus. He wanted to wash off the sweat and just relax for a while. He floated silently letting his mind wander of to where ever it decided to go. His mind of course floated back to his younger days..which given how young he was, it didn't have to wander very far. He thought about the time he spent at the academy. He was a gifted student and graduated rather quickly, but he still had very fond memories. His teachers liked him for the most part..the other students thought he was a bit of a nerd and a know it all, but that didn't bother him. He started to think about a particular memory. He spent a lot of time in the classroom during the mid day break. Most of the other students went outside and played around. He on the other hand continued to study and learn about various jutsus. he had a fondness for Genjutsu. He was the best in his class when it came to the mental art.

[3 years earlier..]


The noise outside was bothersome. The Uchiha casted glance at the windows, outside he could see the academy students running around, talking, and just being bothersom. Turning his eyes back toward the book in front of him, he continued reading outloud to himself in the dark. Only the light from the outside kept the room from being completely dark.

"Taking their name from Thurgus Flint's infamous work on the use of Phantasms as instruments of war, Mind Reavers are perhaps some of the most deadly practitioners of Illusionism. They are masters of wielding phantasmal forces against their foes and quite potent in their lethality. Mind Reavers are frequently involved in martial occupations. They are also quite adept assassins and mercenaries, although they are those who use their abilities for more noble purposes, such as law enforcement."

This was from a page in a book on Phantasm Perceptions. Phantasms could only be perceived by the user and target. He liked this and it gave the boy a battle practical style of genjutsu to use. The jutsus in this perceptions were mind affecting, they tortured the opponent. They brought out their worst nightmares and turned it against them. This style of fighting was against his more loving nature and his lightheartedness, but it was quickly brought to his attention by one of his favorite teachers that he needed to learn to not only protect himself, but protect others. Part of his role as a ninja was to protect the village.

The boy continued to read some of the more technical aspects of the skills, like how you project your chakra, how to channel and focus it at an opponent. The typical seal types and different skills associated with this brand of genjutsu. He continued to read for the next hour when the bell rang and echoed across the school. Looking up, he could see the door opening as students began to poor into the classroom. He could see his peaceful reading time was up. Getting up, the teacher came in just then and saw where Suno was. He sighed. Before Suno could escape to his seat, the instructor grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
"Not so fast Mr. Suno. Why don't you teach us what you were learning about. I'm sure the rest of the class could benefit from whatever it was you were reading." Suno could see some of his classmates rolling their eyes, others giving him daggers. Turning red, he began to stutter, but slowly began to explain Phantasm perceptions and what it was. He began to explain the various techniques and affects it could have on a persons mind. He discussed practical applications and how it could be used on the field of battle, or as a torture device to get enemy intel. When he finished speaking, he quickly went to his seat avoiding looks of disgust, and students who were creeped out he was reading about dark subjects like that. They always gave him that look. He hated it.

The young Uchiha, newly graduated Genin of the Hidden Rain village, was with his squad. They were all preparing for their first mission together. Their leader wanted each of them to spar with one another so he could get a better grasp of their skills, and how to organize them. His sharingan had yet to awaken, but that didn't bother him. His squad consisted of a strong tai user, a heavy ninjutsu user, plus himself as a genjutsu user. It was pretty well balanced. Or so he though. The ninjutsu user, a boy named son, did not seem to think his skills were of any use. He was one of the students at the academy who criticized him and made fun of him for being bookish. Suno almost relished the chance to show him just how wrong he was. He felt he was almost the most dangerous one because of what he could do to your head. His puppetry skills was still in its infancy, so he chose not to use it for the spar.

As expected, the boy would first attack suno with a mid range ninjutsu attack. Taking advantage of the amount of water around him, he sent shuriken made of water flying. They were slow and easy to dodge. Now it was suno's turn, quickly performing some seals, the child would smile at his opponent as he began to fade from view. Backing away, he took a stance behind his opponent watching him search for Suno. The uchiha smiled.

He knew exactly what he was going to do. He was going to attack him with his new technique he had learned. Something simple, but it would end this spar before it ever truly started. The skill he had learned was simple, easy and it brought the opponent to their knees in fear of what you did. Son would quickly experience a hellish nightmare in his head. It will happen quickly from what he understood, the scroll he had read said that most opponents don't even understand everything that they see. But the lasting fear is undeniable. And that is what Suno was looking for.

Taking a deep, silent breath from where he crouched, hidden, he performed the seals slowly, repeating each one in his head. As he performed the last seal, he committed the chakra he was building up and felt a small drop in his chakra stores. The attack was instant. Suno could see the opponents face as the spell took affect. His eyes went wide and he stumbled. Looking around, eyes wild, he was breathing heavily. The child smiled to himself, his jutsu worked.
"Your turn..." Suno said to his other teammate. They grimaced and charged Suno, now visible having attacked his first opponent.

Closing his eyes, he muttered the seals again to himself. He formed them much quicker this time around. The taijutsu user was much quicker, and knew from personal experience, packed quite a punch. Feeling for the flow of chakra, he released toward the tai user. Just as before, the attack happened within an instant. He suddenly stumbled forward, landing on his hands and knees. His face was one of shock and surprise. Fear mingled in suddenly as well. Hopefully this taught the two of them of his skill and how he could handle his own. They were all a team now, and needed to understand his skill and his talent. Now they did. He was getting ready to attack again when his master suddenly appeared.
"That'll be enough.I believe they learned what we Genjutsu users are capable of." The older man said with a smile on his face. Suno looked up surprised hearing that. He wondered what skills he could teach him. But nodding, he lowered his hands and helped his team mates up.

Holding out his hand to the Tai user, he noticed the fear in his eyes as he quickly backed up instinctively. Catching himself, he suddenly grabbed onto suno's hand and pulled himself up. He muttered and apology. His eyes were still looking around, as if unsure they technique was over. Suno smiled. He hoped his enemies would fear him like this.

Today was an "off" day for suno. He had finished a mission with his team a few days earlier, and had spent the last couple days on guard duty. But today he had been given off to do as he pleased. He was excited and ready to enjoy time to himself. Or he was. He had been given a message earlier that morning to meet his team leader for training. Suno's interest in Genjutsu was a blessing and a curse. His leader was a strong user and wanted to teach him everything he could. On the down side, he was a strong user who wanted to teach him everything he could. Suno smirked at his own little joke. Arriving to the home of his leader, he was invited in and showed to a larger room. It had been explained that this is where his sensi trained. In the background, he could hear his leaders wife and children fussing about something. Stopping mid sentence, Suno watched as his leader seemed to be focused on something from somewhere else. After a moment his leader, Zee, made a face and returned to speaking to Suno.
"I'm sorry..I was speaking with my wife." Suno cut him off before he could continue.
"How did you manage that? you didn't say anything?" Suno saw Zee's eyebrows rise up in surprised.
"Do you now know about the Phantasmal Whisper skill? I thought as a Phantasm perception user you might be a little familiar with that useful skill. Basically it allows the user to send a message to someone without having to speak. I don't have to see her, or even be able to hear her, yet with the right seals, my wife can tell me anything and vice versa. A very useful skill when silence is a must, or you have to rapidly send a message and you don't know where your ally is. A fairly simple one to learn that we should probably teach more of our ninja to use."

Zee then went on a lecture explaining the specifics about the skill and how to perform it. Suno interrupted continuously, dragging out the processes with his many questions. Eventually after close to an hour of talking, Zee went in on teaching the seals for the technique. They were simple and super easy.
"One day.." Zee said, "When your eyes come in and mature, we are going to have to look into training you on how to perform sealess genjutsu. That alone would make you one of the strongest users in the village. It is hard to counter what you don't know is about to happen." He gave Suno a small smile before making Suno perform the seals so he could watch him. Afterwards, he made suno get up. and go to the other side of the room.

"We are gonna begin with something small, only a few words. When ever you're ready." Suno nodded and thought about what he wanted to say before performing the seals. Quickly doing the technique, he passed on his thoughts to his teacher.
What is for lunch. Suno watched as the man's eyes glossed over for a second as if he was thinking for a moment. Smiling he got up and shook his head.
"I'll be right back." Leaving suno alone for a moment, he suddenly felt a presence in his mind.
This is what this technique feels like. I am of the opinion you should never use a skill on someone unless you know what it feels like. Keep practicing, and keep talking. Its going to take a bit for you to send a message of this length. Suno suddenly felt the presence vanished as Zee's words were left echoing in his mind.

Feeling out for the hidden energy in his body, he sent another message to his master, amazed that he didn't even have to see him, or send it in a straight line.
What are some other application of this technique? There was a long pause before an answer came back to him.
A jutsu is only as strong or powerful as its user. A master can take the simplest skill and turn it into something beyond our recognition. But this skill can have many different uses depending on the situation. You could use it to spy, you could use it to send secret messages to team members without the enemy over hearing you. Maybe you are in a fight, you could hide and send messages about enemy movements to better coordinate your attacks. Many many different things could be done. IT all depends on your creativity and resourcefulness. The two would continue to send messages back and for for the better part of the next 30 minutes.

The skill used up so little chakra, that Suno hardly noticed a drop in his reserves. They discussed a good many things and soon Suno noticed he was able to send whole stories and paragraphs worth of information to his leader in the other room. It was an easy skill and glad he had it in his bag of tricks. Soon the two were reunited and ate lunch together in verbal silence. They would talk through this jutsu only.

Suno and his team leader Zee were still in the room. They had spent some time working with the whisper technique. Once Zee felt comfortable that Suno had it down, he began talking out loud once again. The noise startled Suno at first causing him to chuckle to himself.
"Now that we have mastered that little rabbit trail, we can actually start working on some of the things that I brought you here for. True genjutsu. The Phantasm is perhaps the most devastating of the various perceptions. It can cause a lot of trauma if done right. Simply put, it can be the cruelest of all the various Genjutsu arts because you make your opponents fears come to life. You torment them and cause your opponent to lose faith in whats real, and whats not real. Other perceptions use subtle things to trap your opponent. To trick them in little ways to either hide yourself, or to slowly have them lose their sense of what is real. Phantasm on the other hand is more of a blunt bat that they don't see coming. While there are some that are calm, and less terrifying, such as the whisper technique, the majority of skills in this branch of jutsus are meant to scare the hell of your opponent..." The man's voice trailed off for a moment as he watched Suno closely. Suno had been nodding along as he knew most of this. Zee almost seem to pale a bit before he continued.
"As I said before..I believe a genjutsu user should always have a skill or technique used on them before they use it on others. This teaches you not only what the skill should look like, but what it does to the opponent. Hopefully this teaches you not to torment your opponents..because you'll understand what they are seeing and going through."

It all became clear suddenly why Zee had pale. Whatever techniques he wanted to teach Suno, he was going to use on him and they were not going to be pleasant. Suno Swallowed as he nodded in understanding. A silent moment passed between them before the man continued.
"Alright, the first skill... is a little more advance than what we have been working on. Its called "Awakened Fears". I'm sure you don't need me to explain what that is going to do. But this skill, is great to create a distraction, to unsettle the opponent..some shinobi may even use it as a torture device, in a crude way to abstract information. As I keep telling you, a Jutsu is as strong as its user.." The man stopped again for a moment collecting his thoughts. As if he was mentally preparing himself for what he was going to do.
"Well..there is nothing more really to say right now. I'm going to use it on you first. Afterward i'll explain the seals and everything else involved before letting you try it out on me." The man suddenly performed the seals so fast that Suno could not keep up. He wondered if he would have even been able to keep up with a Sharingan!

As he finished and held the last seal. Suno tensed up and waited. Nothing seemed to have happened. Maybe this meant he didn't have any fears? He smiled and opened his mouth to talk when he felt something grab his shoulder. Turning to look at what touched him, he saw his friend. His very much dead friend. Letting out a scream, he fell backward trying to crawl away from what he saw, only to have what felt like a snake crawl over his hand on the ground. Shrieking again, he ripped his hand up, quickly turning to what touched him. More and more of his repressed fears began to float to the surface and torment him. After a moment, the Jutsu ceased. Suno was covered in sweat. He figured it wasn't going to be fun, but he never expected what he just went through.
"This skill is something else is it not?" Suno was so shaken up that he didn't even nod his head. After another minute, Zee offered him so water which he drank. Taking a deep breath, he was able to get himself under control.
"That...was not a pleasant experience." Suno finally said allowed. Zee nodded apologetically.

Suno and Zee would then get to work with learning the handseals, and learning how to push the chakra, and how much chakra at the opponent in question. The seals were longer than the previous technique, but still simple enough. Zee taught him that the fears that were shown to Suno, were created on their own. The user did not need to know what the opponent feared, that part would happen on its own. After a while, the man gave Suno the clear to go ahead and attempt it on him.

Closing his eyes, still able to see the things that had come after him, Suno quickly opened them again searching for his chakra. Grasping it, and focusing it toward Zee, he performed the handseals, and released the pent up chakra. Suno watched Zee, wondering what he would see. The blood would suddenly drain from Zee as what ever it was he feared showed itself. Zee held up a handseal and dispelled the technique with a simple release. Nodding his head, he forced a smile.
"Well..you have this one down." He said forcing a laugh. Suno joined him with an awkward chuckle. He had Suno perform the technique a few more times before he was satisfied with his execution of the technique. Suno suspected however he couldn't handle whatever it was that kept appearing to him.

Suno Uchiha was ripped away from his memories and day dreaming. He could hear echos of footsteps coming down the tunnel way that lead to his cavern. Grabbing his shorts that were hanging off the edge of the pound, he quickly put them on in the water. His eyes shot to where his bags and things were. Not that it mattered, his puppet was at home and he didn't bring any of his weapons with him. All he had down here were scrolls and practice weapons. The footsteps were growing closer, and all he had was himself. But then it occurred to him, that wasn't necessarily true. He had his Sharingan, perhaps his most dangerous weapon. Closing his eyes, he funneled his energy toward his eyes, awakening his Sharingan. Opening his eyes backup, he looked toward the tunnel, lowering his head in attempts to hide himself.

Moments later, his father walked out of the tunnel, looking around. From where he crouched in the water, he could his that his fathers own Dojutsu was active. He could see the crimson eyes shining through the dark. Raising himself slowly out of the water, Suno stayed in a defensive stance.
"Dad?" He said timidly. He was someone he had not been expecting. The older mans head shot in the direction of Suno, staring at him hard before he finally spoke.
"Suno. There you are." His eyes lingered on the boy a while longer before turning to observe the cavern and what Suno had done with the place. Multiple book cases, a bed, table, chairs, scrolls, candles, training dummies scattered about, and so on.
"So this is why you've been so busy." The man muttered curtly. "I figured if you had time for this you'd have time for training or missions." He gave the place one last look around and turned back to his son.

"I would think instead of playing around in your little dungeon or whatever it is you're calling this place, you'd work on your jutsu. Have you made any progress with your Sharingan?" Suno didn't say anything for a long while.
"I thought not. Alright. Come at me. Its time I got involved with your training. I thought you were smart enough to figure it out on your own." Suno stood where he was, on the waters edge unsure of what the old man wanted.
"I said come on!" He barked throwing a Shuirken at the boy. Dodging it, Suno began to perform seals for one of his Genjutsus.

Before he could finish the seals, he had to abandon the attempt and dodge as more weapons were hurled his way. Breathing heavily from the sudden activity, His fathers voice echoed through out the cavern once more.
"Seals for a Genjutsu? Even though you have a mature Sharingan? You are wasting your biggest advantage."
"Advantage? What Advantage?" Suno snarled back. He was tired of being talked down to. What advanatbe did he mean? The world around Suno began to spin. Flowers and butterflies suddenly came out of nowhere and began to encircle him.
"The Sharingan! With it comes with so much power. So much ability if you don't waste it. With it, one has the power to enchant, entrap and lose your opponent in Genjutsu. You give up the element of surprise if you keep doing seals. Especially if the opponent knows what jutsu you are attempting to perform."

The flower petals that had been encircling Suno suddenly disappeared.
"I never Knew I Cou-"
"you never bothered to try did you?"
"You never bothered to teach!" Suno fired back at the man. Growing angry again. The two stared each other down, neither saying a word to the other.
"How. How do you do this?" Sighing, Suno released his defensive stance and walked a little closer to his father. His father was dressed in black pants, a Grey shirt, with a forest green flak jacket on over it. Various tools rested in pouches and pockets. His father wasn't exactly a ninja, but he did various secret work for the Village hidden in the Rain. His mother, Use to be a ninja though she retired from the work, and now mostly works as a healer with the local hospital.
"Take a seat boy. You're gonna want to get comfortable. Plus if you fall out, you won't hit your head as hard. This skill isn't easy, and you're going to use up a lot of chakra." With that, the man began to explain how to use his sharingan to cast Genjutsu.

For the better part of an hour, the two squabbled back and forth. Suno's father bluntly explained how to use his eyes to perform various jutsus. He was smart enough, but the man wasn't suited to teaching. His idea of teaching was just to say whatever was on his mind and hope you understood what he meant. For someone like Suno who wanted to evaluate everything from every possible angle, it made it hard when he started to ask questions and his father didn't want to answer them. Or didn't explain it any better than he did the first time. The real problem for Suno was that since he didn't have a book, or a scroll, or anything else on the matter, he had to take his word for it, and try to discover a better way on his own later.

What little he did understand, basically he would perform the technique without seals, by using his eyes as a medium. Of course that part was already obvious, but a draw back to the technique was that all the jutsus would require him to use far more chakra. Given that the Sharigan already used chakra on its own, this would be important to remember if he was ever in a prolonged battle. He also learned that he was going to have to try and remember how it felt when he did perform the technique with seals. How his chakra was manipulated, how he would have to manipulate it, he was going to have to do the same thing through his eyes. It was all a vague and a very unclear explanation. Further more, it required the upmost focus. To stream the chakra from his eyes, he had to focus and stream everything through his eyes, something he had never attempted before.

"Pay attention!" Suno's father barked, waking him from his thoughts. "Perform the invisibility technique. Think about the seals, think about how it feels when you perform the technique normally. Force your Chakra to the eyes and release it that way. That's how you do it.
"But it doesn't make any sense. How do you unlock it with out the seals?" With an exasperated sigh, his father went in on another explanation, which only lead to more questions, and arguments between the two. It was like comedy theature. The two seem to be aggravating each other on purpose.
"Can you just give me examples?" Suno finally asked frustrated and annoyed. "I feel like it will just be easier to figure out what you mean if you just give me a few examples."

Suno's father silent for a minute. After a while he rolled his eyes and began to give examples and explain things differently from what he had been earlier. Somethings began to click with this new explanation. Suno began to ask more questions, to which of course he received half answers, or no answers. Though he did manage to catch on. When he was able to start explaining it on his own, to his fathers satisfaction, he began to feel some sign of relief from all this. Finally they were getting somewhere, and not just going around in useless circles.
"Alright, enough talk. It is time for you to start doing it. Learn through action! That is the best way, and that is how the Uchiha of old grew strong."

With a sigh, and a slight eye roll, he thought of a jutsu. Hiding a smile, he pursed his lips and tried to focus through. Staring hard at his father, he began to think of the handseals for the Awaken Fears technique. He began to collect chakra. Taking the chakra he would normally use for the technique, he pushed it toward his eyes and tried to do as he had been...sort of instructed. When he felt ready, he released the chakra and pushed it through his eyes. He felt a drop, and he watched his father closely. Nothing.
"Well?" He asked impatiently.
"Did you not see anything?" Suno asked tentatively. "I preformed the jutsu. How could it not have worked?" He was starting to feel annoyed again an angry. IT had been sometime since any of his jutsu attempts failed. It didn't seem right. With a scoff, his father replied after another minute.
"You probably didn't use enough chakra. I told you before, this way requires the use of more chakra for technique than normal."
"I used enough chakra!" Suno replied angrily. Though in the back of his mind, he chided himself for not remembering that little detail. He had infact not built up enough of his chakra.

"You probably didn't use enough chakra. I told you before, this way requires the use of more chakra for technique than normal."
"I used enough chakra!" Suno replied angrily. Though in the back of his mind, he chided himself for not remembering that little detail. He had in fact not built up enough of his chakra. His father eyed him seriously.
"I doubt that very much. Though I suppose maybe we should start over and use more basic techniques. Work our way up to more advanced techniques. Try using..." He stopped for a moment thinking over what the boy might know. Suno's father knew most of his techniques and had watch him perform most of them since he was at the academy.
"Use Blur. That one should be easier. It affects only you and shouldn't require as much effort." Suno thought about the technique. It was a simple Glamour Genjutsu that allowed him to distort the outlines of his body. It was used for simple concealment and made the user harder to hit.

It was certain effective against weaker opponents, however stronger ninja and the like won't be bothered too much by this skill. He remembered what his father told him about focusing with his eyes. Channeling everything through the eyes and using it as his medium. The process was harder than it sounded. Focusing what he normally would for the technique, he began to build up a little bit more before forcing it toward his eyes. The hard part now was trying to figure out how to release the built up chakra properly. Releasing the flow he felt his over all chakra fall, and felt a weird sensation around his body. His Father made a face.
"Well..it sort of work for a second and then failed. You have to remember the sensation you feel normally. How do you normally release the chakra. Its the same thing. Just instead of releasing it here." He said hovering his hand around his stomach. "Perform the jutsu normally and remember what it feels like." Suno sighed and did as he was told.

Tensing up, he collected his chakra, and forced the seals. He tried to remember everything about the sensations he felt. How the chakra left his body. How it felt as it left him. What did he do subconsciously? When the jutsu too affect, he felt a similar sensation as before. But it was more defined, more clear. His father nodded approvingly.
"Do you feel the difference? That is what you need to feel. Try to replicate that same feeling and focus that through the eyes. I...know it may be harder done than said..But i believe you have the talent and skill to do it, or i wouldn't waste my time with you. Suno wanted to be angry, but he couldn't be. As awkward as it sounded, it sounded genuine. It sounded almost caring.

Offering a weak smile, he began to work toward the technique having released his earlier attempt. He piled up his chakra, he felt the familiar feeling and began to concentrate it toward his eyes.
"I can do this.." He murmured softly to himself so no one else could hear. He began adding more chakra to the mix remembering he was gonna need more than normal. Taking a deep breath, he released the flow of chakra using his eyes to focus the release. He felt a weird sensation take over his body as his chakra began to drop again as the jutsu attempt took effect.

Taking a deep breath, he released the flow of chakra using his eyes to focus the release. He felt a weird sensation take over his body as his chakra began to drop again as the jutsu attempt took effect. Looking at his body, he quickly turned his head to his father. He nodded his head slowly.
"It looks lik-" He stopped talking suddenly and shook his head. "You had it for a moment, but then it failed. You need to focus your Chakra better. If i had to guess..Too much of it is being wasted when you expel it. You need to learn better control. Don't just summon and dump it out. Thats how you'll end up with nothing on the battlefield. And if that happens.. well you'll be dead." Suno nodded looking away. He already knew the technique failed before his father ever said anything. He could feel it. Taking a deep breath, he turned his attention abck to the grown man in front of him.
"Did the Sharingan come easy to you? I haven't struggled with a technique in a very long time."

His father looked at him for a long moment. For the first time in a very long time, Suno thought he could almost see compassion in his eyes. His face soften for a moment before it harden up.
"No. It did not come easy to me either. Or anyone for that matter. The Sharingan is a gift, it allows us to see and do so much. However, to pull out its real power, we have to work hard, and train our bodies to turn it into a weapon. Continue to work hard and you will get it. You are extremely talented Suno. Your mother and I haven't had to get totally involved in your training because of your own self discipline. Keep at it, keep working, keep learning from your own mistakes and don't be afraid to make them. You are an Uchiha. Furthermore you are talented even for an Uchiha." Suno didn't say anything. He was, to be frank, in a state of shock. His father had never been this kind, or given him so many compliments at one time.

"Thank you..." He finally said. He meant it. Looking up at him, he gave the trademark friendly smile that he gives to everyone he meets. It was time to finally get this rolling.
"I can do this." He said confidently.
"Then do it!" His father said with a rare smile. Taking his stance, Suno began to mold his chakra and build it up toward his eyes. Feeling the flow of chakra, he held it, he remembered the feelings of what the Jutsu is suppose to be. His eyes suddenly began to feel strange. he pushed through this feeling and continued to focus on what he was doing.
"I can do this!" Pumping more of his chakra to his eyes, he built it up until he was ready to release. Feeling that right moment, he released it.

His body began to tingle again as the Jutsu took affect. It felt like it did before, but this time, the jutsu didn't fade. The feeling didn't go away after a couple seconds. His father watched him for a moment before nodding his head approvingly.
"It looks like you manage to get it. Just like I said you would." Suno waited a minute and then the Jutsu faded on its own like it normally did. He was happy and excited. He finally performed sealess genjutsu. He was on his way.

Suno rested a moment, discussing various things about the skill and how to properly do some things. The two's relationship seem to have changed very suddenly. He wondered what was in store for the two. He continued to practice with the Technique. Suddenly, he dropped to his knee breathing very heavily. His muscles began to twitch and jerk.
"You used up too much of your Chakra. Remember, this technique requires more use of chakra than what the technique normally requires. So what we have been doing plus any training you've already done..You need to rest. Call it quits for the day. Instead focus on chakra control. Focus on little things to help with that so you don't waste chakra." Suno nodded his head. His father was right, he could feel it. He needed to eat and rest some more.But he could not stop himself from smiling. He did it. He was gonna need to work hard, and continue to practice, but he managed it.
