Kai was expecting one of the slots to be filled, but instead his chakra morphed. At least that was how Kai would think to describe it, but after a little thinking he supposed it made sense. The shape of the chakra would change to suit its purpose, in this case the chakra morphed in to something suiting a phantasm genjutsu.

As that was the perception that the technique came from, although this technique was starting to make a little more sense it was still all very confusing even for Kaius. Confused by the technique still Kaius decided to remove it from himself, but not in the usual way. He wanted to observe properly how the chakra was chased out of his body.

So he performed his handseals ready for another favours focus, this time to be performed on himself. Once the handseals were complete, which did not take long, he clapped his hands together again and the effect took place. Of course he carefully observed every moment of it, making sure not a single detail passed by him.

What took place was... interesting, the chakra that was originally clinging to his brain combined with the other chakra. Strangely enough this did not empower the genjutsu it actually worked against it, by probably having too much chakra added to the technique it rejected the extra and in the end it destroyed itself.

The way that chakra worked had always confused Kaius, so he decided it would be best if he just accepted this as his final answer. The absolute reason why it did not strengthen the technique but rather destroy it would have to remain a mystery for now. However, with this at least Kaius had at least a little further of an understanding of his new technique.

It was this discovery which actually lead to another theory, what if it manifested differently in different people? It was something worth investigating for sure. He searched the streets of Sunagakure looking for somebody to target, drawing little attention as possible and trying to hide his headband. People were always more alert around shinobi.

It did not take him long before he found yet another average looking person, with a smile he approached the man whilst making subtle handseals and without hesitation he placed the mark upon the man. After this he backed up as he did not want to be found out so early. Hiding in the crowd around him Kaius carefully observed the man.

He did not appear to react, just like the other person did. As much as Kaius wanted to trust in his theories there was still a little doubt that the tests were performed properly. But judging by the way this man reacted the victim does not show any symptoms of the chakra effecting them, of course this still had to be tested on a trained shinobi just to be sure.

The favoured was so subtle that not even Kaius would be able to sense it if it were not for the fact that it was his own chakra, with the closing of his eyes he could sense the properties of the chakra too because it was his own. Just as Kaius had expected, the chakra appeared to have manifested differently in this person.

Instead of Kaius, which was more like a child's puzzle toy, this man's mind was completely coated in chakra, which made it significantly different to Kai's own favoured. How was this possible? Kai believed that the favoured changed shape depending on the type of person that it effects, so therefore highlighting their weaknesses for genjutsu to take advantage of.

Yet again another theory, but it was the best that Kaius had to go off of right now. He was curious as to how the technique would manifest in other civilians of Sunagakure, so he began yet another string of handseals in preparation whilst searching for yet another victim. It did not take long before he found another normal looking guy.

Once again he passed on the chakra through subtle contact with the man, in fact it was so subtle this time around that the man did not even respond to it. When he was a good few meters away from the man, and hidden in a crowd of civilians, he began to sense his chakra anonymously. Immediately from the man's chakra Kaius could tell that this guy was not actually average.

His will was a lot stronger than most others, usually this was alert the teen but instead he smiled. Before when he had tried to effect a man of the same type he had failed because his genjutsu was not strong enough, but clearly now his genjutsu was becoming more perfected each time it was performed. Back to the original reason why he had marked the man, he observed his own chakra in the man's body.

It was a lot different to the coating of the brain that Kaius had seen earlier, unlike before his chakra had seemed to have taken the shape of a bunch of tiny needles which stabbed in to his brain. Although by the look of the man, and that he was not in pain or at least seemed not to be, Kai could safely assume those needles were not solid.

It was interesting to say the least, but Kaius did not want to stop here. He wanted to know if there was a limit to the amount of forms this technique could turn in to, or if there were as many as there were people. In which case Kai would know by the time he examined at least a good ten more people. The teen smiled, he was on his way to perfecting the technique.

But first, something else was on the shinobi's mind. How long had it been since his first favoured had taken effect? By now it must have been at least a good half an hour or so, which was good because fights never usually lasted that long. If the favoured could be maintained for at least a good hour then Kaius would have to assume it was permanent.

Although he did know some genjutsu that lasted out for days, Kai did simply not have enough time to test this one technique for that long. With so many techniques to learn out there this was merely just one. Either way Kaius was already in the process of performing yet another set of handseals for his technique, when he noticed something.

Something that made him feel kind of stupid. All this time he had been using the same number of handseals for this technique, where if he wanted his technique to be stronger then he had to use more handseals. Of course he would have to figure out which handseals he needed to use to make it stronger.

The shinobi began experimenting with the handseals, but this was simply not something that he could do so quickly. It was more down to luck, there was a certain number of handseals that he could perform the technique with, to get the right combination on his first try would be extraordinary.

So he began performing random combinations added on to the set that he already knew for the technique, then would poke himself on the cheek to see if it worked on not. He had to be careful, so long as he was thinking of performing this technique in particular then he had nothing to worry about. If he did happen to think of some other technique that required the same number of handseals, however, then he would be in trouble.

First he tried using handseals more commonly known in genjutsu, as certain ones usually showed up more often than ones in ninjutsu or other clan jutsu. In the event that he thought of a similar technique that needed the same amount of handseals he would need to perform genjutsu kai immediately, because the effects of a random jutsu were always unpredictable.

In such a case then it could have any effect on his own brain, the people that walked around him, the person he next looked at. Genjutsu was always such a tricky thing in which it had to be figured out before put to use otherwise there could be that possible risk of not knowing a drawback. Of course all this effort and risk was not without reward.

If he happened to stumble upon the correct amount of handseals then his favours focus would become a lot more powerful than it was before, simply because handseals acted as a medium for chakra so the more that he performed for the technique the stronger it would become. Of course this could be reversed and he could perform less handseals for a weaker version of the technique.

Besides, Kaius was such a focused person anyway that it was very unlikely he would mess up on something like this. After awhile of failure eventually he found a string of handseals that worked, he could tell because much like a puzzle all of the slots were filled in the correct way. His chakra system agreed with it, as did the technique.

With this basic understanding of handseals that every shinobi should know Kaius was able to morph his technique in to a stronger variant, of course on the battlefield he may not have enough time to perform this variant so it was always important to remember how many handseals his less stronger version required. It was always a base number anyway.

Now all that was left was to test the jutsu, surely enough this could be done on a civilian but that was a risk Kaius did not wish to take. If the genjutsu backfired the civilian could be harmed, and that went against why Kaius became a shinobi in the first place. Instead he decided to test the technique on himself. He began to perform the newer string of handseals he had only recently discovered.

Why would it be risky to use on a civilian? The answer was simple. Because this was a stronger version of the jutsu it may have side effects that the weaker version did not, and it may also have other effects that he did not know about. As he finished performing his handseals Kai placed his right hand on his left wrist to transfer the chakra.

The speed at which the technique transferred over to his brain was so fast not even he could track it, thus proving that this version was definitely stronger than its previous one. The chakra that made up the technique felt a lot more stable than before too, which meant it was harder to resist because it was more like a finished product.

With these improvements and no apparent side effects Kaius wanted to test this out on somebody else. Performing the same string of handseals again he walked up to somebody out of the blue and bumped in to them briefly, apologizing quickly after. He was too excited to do it subtly this time, after a little bit of a scolding Kaius walked away and observed.

No apparent side effects, at least not from the outside. The person he had marked was continuing with their daily life as normal without distraction. If they were in pain they would have shown so by now, if they could not move or breath as such they would have shown by now. By the looks of things this technique would not develop any symptoms, it was simply for enhancing genjutsu ability.

What Kaius found within the mind of that person was extraordinary, much like the others it had manifested itself in its own way but this time it felt different somehow. How to describe it? First of all it had taken the shape of a small snake which constricted the brain, but that was just the shape of the chakra. It definitely felt stronger than before, Kai just wasn't sure how to describe it.

After a little bit of thinking he came up with an appropriate word, 'presence', the chakra had more of a presence than it did before. Although he could only sense it yet again because it was his own chakra he could feel even without using his sensor technique that the person he had used the technique on was in front of him.

Perhaps this was because he had used a stronger version of the technique, so therefore he could tell at a glance which person he had used it on. At least that was what the shinobi thought, he would have to make sure it was fact and not fiction. And he had just thought of the perfect way that he could test this theory of his.

The idea was quite simple, he was going to use the technique once again but this time around with a twist. He would have his eyes close. This way he would not know which person he had marked, and if his theory was correct then the moment he would open his eyes he would be able to spot out that person immediately. Although of course there was a catch.

Say if a enemy shinobi disguised themselves, Kai doubted that he would be able to use this technique as another way to detect the shinobi from a crowd of people. Which also made Kaius doubt that this theory of his was actually correct. Either way it was research in to further learning the ins and outs of this jutsu.

So the shinobi began a string of handseals for his new jutsu, making sure to close his eyes so he had no idea who this jutsu would be effecting. Once his string of handseals was over he simply walked forward, the first person he was to bump in to would become the mark of this jutsu. Then of course the teen would walk a further couple of meters to lose the person in the crowd.

And he did exactly that, the man he had bumped in to did not raise his voice he simply continued on walking. Now came the moment of truth, the shinobi opened his eyes and looked around hoping to spot out this new mark. Still, no matter how hard he looked he could not spot out this person who he assumed was a man. With a sigh he released the genjutsu from the person.

Another thing that Kai knew was going to happen was that he would not be able to see the chakra manifest in an enemy either once his technique was complete, it would be a problem in fact since other sensors may be able to detect the chakra that effected the persons mind. So, in turn, Kaius had in fact took a step towards making his genjutsu worse than before. He sighed again, this was going to take a lot of work.

He had a basic objective in mind, to decrease the presence of the jutsu so only he could detect it. With of course him being the master of the jutsu he was definitely going to be able to detect it a little, the main problem was that he was using too much chakra. Too much chakra meant it could be picked up by other sensors, which was a bad thing considering genjutsu was all about deceiving the mind.

And if a genjutsu user could not deceive the mind at its very core, in other words the mind's eye, then it is not a very effective genjutsu. Of course the mind's eye could be used to detect genjutsu, but that was with a very specialized version of the technique. He had to make absolute sure that it could not be detected by the ordinary version. The teen began plotting out theories and possible answers.

The first and most obvious solution was to use less chakra, using less chakra would mean that the technique would still retain its effectiveness but at the same time would be less visible. Why would it still be just as effective? Because with genjutsu added chakra was not needed, it was more an art of using handseals to maximize effectiveness. So, if Kai reduced the amount of handseals it would be less effective, but otherwise it would stay the same.

That being said a reasonable amount of chakra was still required, so he had to find a balancing point in which he could both use the technique and have it keep its effectiveness. It was quite the challenge but Kaius was willing to comply so long as it made his technique better. He began a string of handseals which would be the center of the genjutsu.

The handseals had to be perfect in order for the genjutsu to work, as there is an art to genjutsu balancing the handseals with the amount of chakra was key. Next the teen approached yet another stranger and gave them a light bump on the shoulder, they looked as if they wanted to argue but kept their mouth shut at a glimpse of his headband.

Still, it was no good, the amount of chakra he had used compared to how specialized the technique was simply would not do. The technique failed and as such the chakra was wasted. Still, this technique did not actually require that much chakra, probably due to how many people it could possibly effect. Yet against the shinobi began forming handseals.

This time he felt confident and like he was sure to get it, he walked along the street with a composed and firm walk. As he finished the handseals he tapped somebody on the shoulder from behind. Unfortunately Kai was aware of the genjutsu failure the moment he made contact as he swiftly retreated to avoid being seen.

It was disheartening to have his genjutsu keep failing, but perhaps it was not his lack of expertise. In his total concentration Kaius had failed to select appropriate targets and perhaps their will was simply too strong to be effected by the genjutsu. They both looked like they would not succumb to an illusion so easy, now that he recalled.

Chalking it down to that, Kaius began to form yet another set of handseals, making sure to balance the chakra as evenly as possible. Once he was certain he had the right amount, but not too much, he carefully selected a target from the crowd. Within seconds the shinobi found someone that may be suitable for this experiment, he began to walk towards this person.

They were skinny and looked very nervous simply being outside in public, needless to say even when Kaius slightly tapped him on the shoulder he was alert enough to turn around. Kai apologized, then slowly retreated away awkwardly as if nothing happened. What that person did not know, however, was that they were now marked by Kai's genjutsu.

This was it, the perfect balance that Kai had been looking for. The genjutsu was only just detectable by his own minds eye and that was simply because it was his own chakra. Otherwise he would need a specialist technique in order to detect it, which made Kai sigh with relief. Now that he had this part of the technique accomplished he could move on.

Then he realized something, what exactly was there left to perfect? He had trained almost every aspect and learned almost every secret. The only things he could think of would be both the time for which the genjutsu remained on a single target and the maximum number of people it could effect.

So he checked up on the first person he had the genjutsu marked upon, he could feel that it was still effecting them so that was a good sign, it had almost been at least an hour so as long as the genjutsu effected a target for that long it was good enough for Kai. As for the amount of people it seemed somewhat limitless so far.

Then it occured to Kai, something he had failed to notice when looking in depth upon his technique before. The chakra in the brain was self sustaining, meaning it could plague somebody for the rest of their life. He was paying too much attention to how to reduce its presence he barely noticed. The chakra was actually regenerating.

It was regnerating by itself without a host, although this would not be the first time Kaius had encountered such a source of chakra. The way Kaius believed it to work was that if a ninja made a loop out of the chakra then it would continue to flow around in that circle, much like the chakra system of a ninja's body. Except techniques dont actually regenerate chakra.

Instead of regenerate, a better description would be that it shut off the output of the chakra and instead simply looped it back around again. This prevented the chakra from ever leaving the cycle and as such it could continue on for supposedly forever or until its host dies.

Whereas chakra in for example a wind ninjutsu gets dispursed in to a million particles in the air and eventually turns to nothing. Now that Kaius had that figured out, glad that he noticed it just now, he had another thing that he had to make sure of. The limit to how many people he could have under this genjutsu, so far the number was large enough but he had to be sure.

The only way that Kaius knew how of to test the amount of people he could affect with this genjutsu was by effecting more people until he could not anymore. Of course this was tricky business because he would not know where to stop. People with enough willpower can ignore genjutsu, as such if he fails several times in a row to these people it would give off that message.

And then there was the chance that the technique simply did not have an end to the amount of people it could effect, in which case Kaius would be running about Sunagakure tagging people all day. He had to set a limit to which he would stop using the jutsu on people. Trying to think of an appropriate number, Kaius came up with the number twenty.

This number was made judging by how many people he had effected already and how many people he would ever possibly need to effect. He never imagined he would run out of slots if this jutsu could affect up to twenty people at a time. With that number in mind he set out to find somebody that he could use his genjutsu on. Quite obviously it was not a jutsu that would constantly drain chakra, it self sustained after all.

Having to constantly supply chakra to people possibly on the other side of the globe would be ridiculous, which made Kaius remember another thing he had yet to test. That would be the range on this new technique. Sure the technique was permanent but if it had a range then what would be the point of having twenty or so people marked? After a little bit of searching he found somebody that he could work the technique on.

He performed his usual string of handseals, making sure to balance out the right amount of chakra needed for the technique. With a quick tap on the shoulder the man had been marked by the jutsu. All other things considered, the fact that he had removed a few marks by accident without noticing and such he would say he had about ten people marked so far.

Now Kai just had to get as far away from the man as possible and hope for the best, but he needed to make sure he was actually gaining distance from the man and as such he activated his sensor technique. With it he could sense the man's individual chakra signature and move away from it accordingly. With it now activated and his eyes shut he began walking down the busy streets of Sunagakure.

Using his sensor technique to dodge all the civilians walking in his path he continued to walk down the street. As he progressed further away from the man he felt absolutely no side effects. The feeling that he was under his genjutsu was still intact and by now the teen was over one hundred meters away from the man. By two hundred meters Kai could probably confirm the techniques range as unlimited.

So he continued walking up until a point where he could no longer sense the man, after which he opened his eyes. It was a straight street luckily for Kaius so he had not walked in to any obstacles on the way down. Sure enough Kaius could still feel that the man was under the effect of his genjutsu which let him once again sigh in relief, there were so many ways this genjutsu could have been held back.

But, apparently just contact with the target was good enough, and Kai was relieved about that. As he also had a talent for close quarters combat being able to come in to contact with an enemy would be no problem especially if that enemy was willing to comply with a fist fight.

That being said it was too early to say for sure, he had perfected the technique yet he still had to learn how many people he could affect with it. There wasn't much else to do other than simply form another string of handseals and be on the lookout for any possible civilians he could mark with this jutsu, with the guy he had just marked that made eleven people.

With the completion of his handseals marked yet another person, he had snuck up behind this guy and lightly tapped him on the shoudler which was to be expected. The usual routine that involved improving this technique, or rather testing its limits. That now made twelve people, how many more would follow was yet to be seen.

As for this guy Kai was actually curious as to how it had manifested within this mans brain, as such he closed his eyes and sensed for his own chakra. Instantly a world of chakra was opened up to him and Kaius could see how this mans favoured would appear, it was actually strange in the way it manifested. It appeared it could not decide.

Could not decide as in it would morph between several forms, at first it looked like it was a spiders web. After which it proceeded to morph in to something like a lizard, where exactly were these morphs coming from anyway? From what Kaius knew it morphed in to something that would assist a genjutsu in getting past the brains defenses.

So maybe it couldn't decide because it was not quite sure how to deal with this guys brain? Or maybe that this guys brain was so random that the shape of the chakra had to keep changing to match its style. Either way Kaius was interested. He observed the man from a distance, he appeared to be acting normal and he showed no symptoms either.

Both good signs, Kai was worried that the genjutsu had manifested in such a way it had a seperate effect on this man. Either way it was a weird experience but it was about time he moved on to other people. He had to find another mark, so he began looking through the streets for a suitable person. Although training this technique was really getting tiresome.

His next target was a woman, he quietly observed her from a distance. She did not seem like she had a strong enough will to resist this genjutsu either, a prime target, he approached the woman whilst sneaking a few handseals. Then once he came within range he lightly tapped her on the shoulder, and before she could even turn around Kaius had already slipped in to the crowd. Once she turned back to what she was doing Kai observed.

Yet again no side effects as usual, she appeared to have no idea that he had placed a mark on her. This was all expected. That made his thirteenth mark whilst training this technique. He thought through all that he had learned so far about the jutsu. The first and most important rule being that only one favours could affect a single person at a time.

If this also applied to other people using their favours on the same person or not Kaius could not tell you, there weren't that many shinobi in Sunagakure besides ANBU or at least Kai thought so. Then of course there was that it manifests differently in everyone, although he did not understand the meaning behind any of the chakra forms.

Then of course yet another theory he could not prove right or false, was that the jutsu had less of an effect on larger creatures. According to the teens theory, with the same amount of chakra used to balance the technique whilst being used on something that was larger than an ordinary human would cause it to have a lesser effect.

It all made perfect sense in theory, but of course chakra worked in weird ways. He would never know if this was actually the case unless he got the chance to test this technique on a big beast, which was unlikely in Sunagakure walls. The shinobi began handseals so he could mark yet another person, and so the cycle of practice continued.

Of course there was something else that Kaius had failed to thing about regarding the technique, the catagory in which it belonged in. As most genjutsu users knew there were two, one was most commonly refered to as a disbeleif genjutsu and the other was a negatable genjutsu. The two were similar but made all the difference in a battle.

Kai assumed this genjutsu would fall under the negatable genjutsu area, which meant that if the persons will was strong enough the genjutsu would be ignored without a trace of its existance. Then of course there was the other type of genjutsu, the disbeleif genjutsu. This type of genjutsu was different in that when a person sees through the illusion only the effects that it might have on the body are ignored.

Yet again the shinobi found another person who looked like their will was weak enough to cast illusions upon. He sneaked up on the person after stringing his handseals together and lightly tapped them on the shoulder, if Kai recalled correctly this was his fourteenth person he had marked. By now he was really starting to feel the chakra drain, this jutsu did not require much chakra but in large numbers one could feel its effects.

In fact so much so that Kaius had to rest for a bit, taking up a nearby alleyway which he could observe the people that walked by. His chakra was definitely being taken to its limits yet a little bit of rest would solve this problem. As he watched the people go by, as if in a sudden glimpse of a moment, he recognized somebody from about an hour ago.

To be more specific, it was the man who had evaded his genjutsu because his willpower was too strong. But this offered up a chance for the shinobi. If he could use his genjutsu on this man now it would mean that he finally had achieved the genjutsu's maximum potential. Still, the man did not appear to be going anywhere, so Kaius stayed put as he regained his chakra.

Favour's Focus
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A jutsu that increases the difficulty of Illusions against the affected person.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Affects 5 creature creatures per Class level, medium size or smaller. The user is able to perform this technique on the target they touch. The duration of this technique is permanent. This technique may be negated. This Jutsu requires a dangerous action for most GenJutsu users, a successful melee attack. If the save against this Jutsu is successful, the target remains unaware that Favour's Focus tried to affect them, though the user may have seen the Jutsu performed or been aware of the attack. Only 1 Favour's Focus, regardless of Jutsu Rank, can be in effect on a given target at any one time. If a second one targets someone already effected by one, both are instantly Dispelled. A user can have only 5 Favoured per Class Level at one time. To create another Favoured, one of the others must be released. The user determines which one. If any Favoured has the favour Dispelled or otherwise escapes it, the user knows immediately (although no other information is relayed; the user knows only of the Jutsus's loss)

"D" Rank - Until Dispelled a special +1 favor bonus applies to the saves of any Enchantment Jutsus the user uses the target. Additionally, line of sight is no longer required if the user is somehow aware of the target (now called the Favoured) within range.
"C" Rank - +3 bonus applied to saves.
"B" Rank - +5 bonus applied to saves. The user can choose to reduce the favour bonus to +2. If this is done, the Jutsu can affect a humanoid target of any size.
"A" Rank - +7 bonus applied to saves. The user can choose to reduce the favour bonus to +4. If this is done, the Jutsu can affect a humanoid target of any size. Alternatively, the user can decide to make the favour bonus +1 instead. If this option is chosen, the Favour's Focus can affect any living creature susceptible to mind-affecting Jutsus.
"S" Rank - +9 bonus applied to saves. The user can choose to reduce the favour bonus to +6. If this is done, the Jutsu can affect a humanoid target of any size. Alternatively, the user can decide to make the favour bonus +3 instead. If this option is chosen, the Favour's Focus can affect any living creature susceptible to mind-affecting Jutsus.

Limit: Must know the Enchantment Perception.

Of very convenient timing the moment that Kaius was ready to get up and go the man continued along his way through Sunagakure, of course Kai was not willing to let this chance slip by him so he followed to man up until the point where he stopped in a crowd near a stand. Lots of people were pushing and shoving. Kai gulped, he had never considered it yet but there was another aspect he had ignored to his training.

That of course was the ability to hold back the chakra, in other words prevent it from passing on to someone when he did not want it to. Performing a string of handseals Kaius prepared himself to walk in to the crowd, a feat like this would require expert chakra control he prepared to dive in to the crowd. The plan was to retain his chakra until he reached his target.

He began shoving through the crowd, each contact he had to hold his chakra back from being somewhat 'absorbed'. Every person that he came in to contact with he repeated this process with until eventually he reached the person he was actually trying to mark. Trying to be as polite as possible the teen gave him a simple nudge which would prove no significance due to the size of the crowd.

In that sudden moment Kai felt it, the transfer of his chakra through the man's chakra network and up in to his brain. It worked, it finally worked this time! Kai wanted to laugh at his success but as he was in a crowd he would've drawn out too much attention. Instead he silently and quietly nudged his way out of the crowd in to safety.

Of which this was a nice opportunity to mark more people, he performed the handseals quietly and secretly in the crowd and gently nudged someone. What followed Kaius was not expecting. The person had repelled his genjutsu! Something was definitely not right about this, as the person was struggling with the crowd and could barely hold their ground.

"So that's the limit, huh? Fifteen in total." Kai muttered to himself. He did not even need to confirm it, the person his genjutsu had been rejected by could not have possible denied it by himself. Kai was mildly disappointed that he could not achieve his goal but otherwise he did not mind, fifteen people was plenty anyway.

He was actually more interested, however, in how his jutsu would manifest in the mind of a strong willed person. Kai closed his eyes and searched for the man's chakra signature amongst the crowd, he found the signature easily but something was off. Kai could not sense even his own chakra in the persons mind, absolutely nothing. He was certain that the technique effected him.

So why was it that Kai could not sense his own chakra in the man's mind? Perhaps it was simply because Kaius had truly perfected the technique now to such an extent that it could no longer be sensed by non specialised jutsu. Or maybe it was that it did not visibly manifest anymore, which was most likely. Either way or both Kaius felt that this technique was now perfect in every way.

Now there was only one person left to perform the technique on, and that was himself! He released all of the people he had put marks upon, as he felt his chakra be lifted from each and every one of them he felt glad that he had freed all that space. Now he was open to use the technique on himself, why? Because a genjutsu user never knows when they might have to use a genjutsu on themselves.

He performed the handseals in a blur motion of his hands, then once they were complete he simply clapped his hands together and the mark was placed. Having a mark constantly placed on himself could prove useful in future events, there were even genjutsu out there that proved to be useful when used on oneself. After all not all genjutsu were meant for harming.
