Limited Invisibility
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Only works for a short period of time, and it only works when the user does not move or is not touched.
Description: A technique that has a distance of that of ten meters from the user or who the user touches. The center of the effect is mobile with the recipient. The creature or object included becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. Those affected by this Jutsu can see each other and themselves as if unaffected by the Jutsu. Any affected creature moving out of the area becomes visible, but creatures moving into the area after the Jutsu are cast do not become invisible. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. This technique only lasts a round for every class level the user is starting at their class level "D".
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of GenJutsus

Outside in the strangely empty city of Minari, Kiyoshi started training some techniques that he thought would be useful in his exam. The ability to become invisible seemed as if it could certainly aid him, it was the last skill he wished to acquire before he walked through his person door for the exam.

The blonde kept pacing back and forth as he pondered how he could achieve this goal of his, not having any scrolls on him. And with the old weather, the walking helped keep him warm. Unfortunately the man didn’t know which handseals he should use, and he figured the only way to find out would be through trial and error. While there were many, many combinations of possible seals, luckily the genjutsu master was skilled enough with his chakra to be able to tell when things were starting to work as intended. The first sign was that he felt as if he was pulling on his chakra in the right way, the energy manipulated in a way that would deal with the glamour perception.

Kiyoshi let his chakra guide him, his eyes falling shut and his body going still at one point as he concentrated on how the seals were allowing his chakra to flow. Once he was positive that he was dealing with the correct perception, he played around with how the different seals could draw him closer to his goal. At first he dealt with the area he wished to be affected, for now just focusing on making himself invisible, figuring his companions could let him know when he vanished from sight. The trial and error process was slow at first, until he managed to stumble across another seal sequence that helped out quite a bit.

The genjutsu master could feel his chakra enveloping himself, but as he glanced towards his animals it became clear that he wasn’t yet invisible. With a combination of altering seals and his chakra itself, he slowly felt as if he was making some real progress. Especially when Torak pecked at his arm, signaling that it couldn’t be seen. Kiyoshi could still see the limb himself, and he mentally noted that he would be able to see whatever he casted the technique on while other could not. That was certainly fine by him though, and it made sense in his mind since he was the one controlling the chakra that caused the effect, after all.

Gradually the man was able to refine his chakra control, finding that he had discovered the correct seals to use and he merely changed their order around a bit to increase the potency of the technique. The two of his companions showed him the areas that were affected, and it seemed that after his arms had gone it worked from the head down. It was a bit of a drawn out process, but he knew better than to rush it despite the two day time limit he had been given. As slow as it was for him to make progress and make more and more of his body invisible, it was time well spent as far as he was concerned. Even if he had to take breaks to move around and warm up, he used that time to think about how he would do this.

Once Kiyoshi was completely invisible, he experimented around with the technique that he had just accomplished. The genjutsu wanted to know what the conditions of this invisibility were after all, before he used it in combat. He found that whenever he moved it canceled out, frustratingly enough. And it faded away when one of his companions touched him, and it didn’t last very long at all. These discoveries certainly weren’t pleasing, but he figured if he just needed a quick hiding spot, it would come in handy. Better than nothing, at least. He went through the technique a few more times, making sure he could perform it swiftly and seamlessly, not wanting to make any mistakes while on the field.

Invisibility
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
Description: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If the user casts the jutsu on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless those are capable of seeing through GenJutsus. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible. Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Limited Invisibility.

Wishing to build upon his ability to make things invisible, Kiyoshi continued playing with this new technique of his. With the handseals and amount of chakra he had been using previously, no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t seem to be able to improve the technique. So he started experimenting, adding on some more handseals to find out if he could alter it that way. It certainly seemed to be working, the first change he was able to make allowing him to prolong the effect. It was enough of a sign for him to keep continuing down this path, to make more improvements until he was completely satisfied with what he could do.

Kiyoshi focused on altering his chakra in a way to let him be able to move while he was invisible, as it would be far more useful if he could. The man had to change around the additional seals a bit, but eventually he was able to start moving after the last seal was cast. He found that he had to use a bit more chakra to be able to move quickly, but he figured it was well worth it. At first he had only been able to make small motions with his hands, and he kept practicing until he could go at a full sprint. He found that the technique hadn’t any effect on sound, unfortunately, but he figured it couldn’t be helped since it was a mere visual illusion.

Next the blonde worked on being able to touch things while remaining invisible, which took quite some time as well. After quite a few attempts he was able to pet Chiyo without her being able to see him afterwards, and even though he figured an enemy would be able to tell he was there if they touched, he hoped it would come in handy. And once he could manage that, he worked on being able to pick up object as well without being seen while doing it. His companions let him know that the object became invisible as well when he pocketed it, but before it was guarded it could still be seen.

Curious, he experimented with his items, and he discovered that the objects he had on him when he cast the technique remained invisible when he took them out. When he tried it with his flashlight, he was amused when the light was cast down with the source being hidden, thinking that it could be used to confuse opponents. He couldn’t help but think it would be useful with his flute, and he silently wondered if he would remain invisible while playing his flute. Unfortunately it seemed that the illusion dropped whenever he made an offensive move directly, which meant he couldn’t remain invisible while fighting. Then again, since he wasn’t one to fight directly anyway, he figured it would certainly be a useful ability to have beneath his belt.

Since he had companions as well, the blonde had the bright idea of trying to make one of them invisible as well. It was a bit different, trying to project his chakra around another instead of himself, but he kept working at it to discover that he actually held the potential. Torak was the one he chose to practice the technique on, and Chiyo had to let him know whether or not it was working because he could still see the hawk since he wasn’t affected by his own technique. Slowly but surely he was able to make the bird completely invisible, or at least that was what the ferret expressed. Again he practiced the technique a few times over, working on things like speed and minimizing chakra consumption.

Eh a little uninspired though you did make mention of the fact you were training. For future reference be more descriptive of the actual technique. (As I was grading this I did not notice that a mere two feet from my person I had accidentally let a mosquito coil catch fire and almost burn my house down. Glad I'm not burning.)

Invisibility Sphere
Rank: |"C"| "B" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A technique that confers invisibility upon all creatures within the distance of ten meters
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Affected creatures (other than the recipient) that attack negate the invisibility only for themselves. The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then those who are affected stays invisible, or if they attack an opponent. However, no matter what if the user who performs this technique attacks will always have the Jutsu ended when they attack.
Description: A technique that has a distance of that of ten meters from the user or who the user touches. The center of the effect is mobile with the recipient. The creature or object included becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. Those affected by this Jutsu can see each other and themselves as if unaffected by the Jutsu. Any affected creature moving out of the area becomes visible, but creatures moving into the area after the Jutsu are cast do not become invisible. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source).

The blonde wished to make one last adjustment to this whole invisibility thing, and that was to hide multiple targets from view simultaneously. Considering he had two companions, he had a feeling it would be useful if they could all be invisible at once, instead of him having to recast the technique several times over. At first he was just doing some vague experimentation as he had before, trying to add on more seals again since that had worked last time. However, he soon came to the discovery that he didn’t really need to use extra chakra for his goal, strangely enough. Changing out one of the seals and altering the order had been enough, it seemed.

Kiyoshi’s first clue that he was moving in the right direction was that he could feel his chakra in a sort of bubble around him, in a large area instead of just around a single target. It was a good place to start, and he gradually worked on altering that field with that type of glamour-infused chakra that he had used to obtain invisibility in the first place. Again he found it to be a gradual process, seeming to be able to make a bit more and more invisible as he focused further and refined his control. It was surprisingly easy to do, but then again he really shouldn’t be surprised considering the immense amount of experience he had with illusions.

With Torak outside of the field he could feel himself altering, the hawk informed him of how much he was making invisible. At first it had just been himself and portions of his ferret as well, but after a few tries he was able to conceal them both from sight successfully. But even after that it still required quite a bit of work to perfect, as he still needed to work on making it possible for them both to move around while remaining concealed. It had actually been easier for him to keep Chiyo invisible than himself, which he found strange since she was further from the core of energy he was using. Easily enough he shrugged it off though, and just kept making adjustments until he was able to keep himself invisible as well.

Naturally the shinobi had targeted himself as the center of this technique, and he had found that as he moved around, the illusionary bubble that he was affecting moved with him. It was certainly a positive development, as he figured it meant he wouldn’t have to keep recasting the technique if he were to move around a battlefield. Unfortunately, though, he also found that when he moved closer to Torak, the hawk was able to see them as he turned invisible as well. That certainly wouldn’t do, and he worked the kinks out until he was able to manage keeping just those inside of the technique when it was first casted to remain under the effects. Eventually, his hawk was able to let him know that he remained invisible no matter how close he got.

No matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t figure out any possible way to keep Chiyo invisible when she pounced on Torak, even when she remained inside of the radius. However, at the very least he was able to make it so he could remain hidden himself when she attacked, which was better than nothing. Kiyoshi also noted that when he attacked directly, both him and his companion were revealed, and no matter what he tried he couldn’t seem to change that. While he was certainly displeased because he couldn’t get his technique to work perfectly, he merely noted the flaws mentally and figured it was close enough and would very likely come in handy.

One of the last things he practiced was targeting Chiyo to be the center of the sphere instead of himself, and after a fair amount of concentration he discovered that he was fully capable of pulling it off. Kiyoshi didn’t really even need the hawk to tell him, as he could feel his chakra moving around her. Of course he still asked Torak just to be sure, and he nodded at the results as a smile pulled at the corners of his lips. Mentally he kicked himself for never having learned this earlier and rushing it last minute, but he figured it was better late than never.
