Day 1 Week 1

It was time to begin working on his mind. However, rathar than actually going out and testing his might, Tora decided to sit back home and train his mind with the power of written knowledge. Perhaps learn a thing or two about chakra, Genjutsu and all in between. It would be extremely beneficial to actually learn something from a written source. Maybe he would even go out and test it sometime. Though for now, Tora was simply going to read the first few chapters of the leathery covered book.

Sitting down, the Genin opened the first page and read the little acknowledgemnts, letting it all sink in and see if he could recognize some of the names and some of the people who were mentioned. He found it extremely important to know the people behind the lore of chakra since he might want to consult other books they might have written on the said subject. Remembering their names would come in extremely useful in further studies and perhaps even help the Genin further his position with the village scholars. At any rate, with the ackgnowledgments out of the way, Tora was ready to read.

Introduction

Hello reader

This book was written with the purpose of giving you the deppest and simplest understanding of both chakra lore and the art of enchantment. It is important, especially for begginers, to first look at the content and see whether they are comfortable with every term mentioned in the titles. (A glossarry is located at the last pages). When reading this book, bare in mind that the ideas were tested, re-tested and examined by many experts. One can even take the materials mentioned here and test them himself. It is even encouraged to take this theory and put it into a practical use.

It is in this book that the author wishes you the very simple ideas of chakra lore. It is by no means a method to understand it completely and will only give you an idea of the overall subject which has been a major point of research for many years. If you feel the need to learn more, there are plenty of courses avaliable and you would we welcomed into the warm hands of sceience at any time. For more in depth knowledge and understanding, please review the resources and textbooks mentioned in the appendix.

For now, I wish you a happy reading and hope to deepen your understanding in the laws of chakra manipulation and control. Please feel free to send reviews, comments and impressions about the book to the publicists office. I will make sure to read them all and try to respond. I hope you will find it an easy read and delve deep into the arts of chakra.

After reading the introduction, it was evident to the Genin that it would take a while to maintain all the knowledge gained in the book - meaning he would have to spend a lot of time sitting and reading, maybe even re-reading the content before reaching his final goal of actualy putting it all to work. However, he found it rather amusing and the introduction was written quite nicely, which made it so much easier to dive into the reading.

"Alright. Chapter one...Chakra."

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 2

He has read and re-rea the same few chapters over and over. It wasn't simple to really understand it all, but with having a day to relax and process the information, Tora was ready to open up the next chapter and continue his quest into the marvalous world of chakra reading and understanding. Sure, he knew the basics from the academy, but this book was so much more informative, so much more interesting and so much more complicated than anything he was taught back in the day.

Simply put, Tora was taught the mere basics of the basics of chakra understandings. During his days in the academy he was taught that chakra is some sort of energy that sustains life. The chakra flow in his body can be manipulated and controlled in order to affect his enviroment and create some sorts of changes to both mind and body. However, the book explained something a lot more complex and gave Tora the basic understanding underneath it all - which in turn would allow the Genin to manipulate chakra better, understand it better and even idenify it in certain cases.

'...It is a well known fact that chakra is the basic foundation or our world. At least that's what most people believe, or teach their kin. It is not however the truth. The truth is much more complicated than that. Chakra is not our life force. It is not our energy and it is not what keeps us alive. Plants have no chakra and live just fine. Some people are born without any ability to use their chakra. These are all the indicators which bring us closer to the actual truth about chakra. First, lets begin with the basics:

The human body is made out of flesh. Or rather, organic matter. Chakra however is not organic, yet it resides inside a human. This brings us to a possibility that the human body actually produces chakra. If we look at the reports, once using chakra, after a little bit of rest, the chakra in the human body returns to the same amount. Question is: what makes this chakra? Which organ or part of the human body creates it? In truth, we do not yet know. However, what we do know is that chakra can be studied and understood - which is what this book is for.

In the following chapter you will understand how researchers have studied chakra. You will find examples of different types of chakra and even the way chakra can be seen through cirtain jutsus and scientific manipulations. It is important you understand the basics presented in the previous chapters before you dive deep into the examination part. Results are never what we expect through the theoretical analysis which is why it is advised to notice some differances...'

It wasn't too clear what was to follow. The introducation seemed a little off and Tora really didn't want to think too much about it. He had no choice but to take in a deep breath and dive deep into the next following chapters, hoping some deeper understanding would come from it all, and maybe even get him some closure on this whole chakra manipulation thing. Of course, if he wasn't to learn more, he'd never know. Maybe it was time to dive deep into the academia? Whatever...

"Chapter Five: Observations and Colclusions"

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 3

The time he dedicated to learn the essence in the book was more than he had during his days in the academy. He took in every word and phrase, occasionally looking over at the glossary to find a definition and try to understand a certain concept better. Chapter after chapter was read carefully by the Genin who wanted to take in every little detail in the book and put it to good use. The work he put in was even reflected by the fact he took notes - writing his impressions and concluding some sections or chapters even.

Eventually he got to the last chapter of the first part, which explained chakra. It was a reviewing chapter that was dedicated to summorize watever he had learnd and even mentioning some questions worth asking, some were mentioned to have an answer in the book, others outside in the academia, and a last few were still unanswered at the time the book was written. At any rate, the Genin took in a lot from it.

'SECTION SUMMARY: CHAKRA

It was shown through various examples that chakra is not a life sustaining source. However, most men nowdays are so attached to their chakra that should they run out they will have a serious threat to their lives. The current theory behind the chakra is that the more a person or creature use their chakra the more they become dependent on it. It is a very valid point of study to see wether one can use chakra without creating such a dependensy - which would revolutionize the shinobi world as we know it.

In the following section it was mentioned that each person has a chakra imprint. Every chakra is unique and we are yet to determine how to assosiate one's chakra to a user after it has left the body. However, we do know that chakra is devided into four main groups in which we will talk in the following chapters. Each group has it's own purpose and can be identified by specific signs one must follow. It will be easier to understand in chapter 7 once we go into the whole proscess of identifying chakra and it's types.

The last part covered was the importance of understanding chakra in order to manipulate it correctly. As mentioned, for a more specific guide for Ninjutsu users see the other tomes of this series. However, the introduction is the same and the need to have said understanding is the same. In this book we will focus, once the basics have been introduced, on the usage of chakra manipulation to affect one's mind in a way of suggestion. 

Make sure to review the few chapters once again before going forward.'

With that read, the Genin made sure to flip through the pages again, understand the meaning of it all and finall continue on to the next part of the book which he was a lot more excited to read. Less data and more application. At least so he thought...

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 4

More information. More graphs. More charts. Mora data. Everything was so confusing, yet organized perfectly to compliment each section. Without understanding the previous chapter there would be no possible way to understand the current one. No wonder they emphasized it so much. Luckily, Tora wasn't slacking off and took this book reading very seriously, dedicating enough time to read ad research any and every chapter as much as he could. Hell, he even took the time to try to answer some of the questions asked and perhaps even develop some sort of intuition about chakra lore.

The time invested into the book was the same, however te amount read each time was getting smaller. It was really difficult to process more complex ideas about chakra. After reading about the introduction to each chakra type, Tora reached a chapter that was mainly focusing on identifying chakras and the ways to do it. This was the main point in the first section - the part that explained how to understand chakra which would eventually help the Genin understand if his own chakra was being disturbed and sense a Genjutsu.

'THE MAIN SENSING IDEA

In the previous chapters we've discussed the four main types of chakra in detail. The subject will return to that soon enough when we will discuss the ways to identify each chakra. However, before one can think about trying to identify chakra, he must first know the basic principals of sensing chakra and actually identify he is dealing with it. This will be discussed in this chapter and followed by the classes we might want to look into.

As mentioned earlier, chakra always leaves an imprint. Since it's been tested the imprint is there, it was wise to try and analyze it. To learn more about the analyzing process, please look into the books discussing the matter. Here, we will skip the analyzing process and simply state that once analyzed, it was found that chakra, while not seeming too different, can be categorized by different functions of density and color, when viewed through the eye jutsu specified in earlier chapters. (See graphs and schematics for chakra analysis at the end of the book)

After researching the matter a little further it was found that the chakra imprint can be categorized better by simply showing the statistical data on a different scale. The best conclusion driven (as seen from the graphs) is that the density of the chakra and the amount put into it has no meaningful effect to the item the chakra was imbeded on. This brings us to a further conclusion which we can drive forward and put it to use by identifying the factors that do matter and asserting the way to catagorize different chakra types...'

Further reading provided more informating, more graphs, more charts and a lot more math. How could math even make an appearance in chakra? It was annoying. The subject he believed to be least useful in the real world came to bite him on the ass when trying to learn chakra lore. It was important to put the data into a chart and a graph and learn what can be seen and asserted from the results.

"Right...Fucking math..."

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 5

Math. It all came down to math. Tora was never one to sit down and solve equations. He never really understood how one would use it to benefit, and now it came into play. Finally he began to understand just how math came into play. In order to study chakra it was put into mathemetical phrases and formulas which helped understand and predict chakra mass, density and even type. It was all a part of a special system designed by the best and brightest to bring the chakra understanding to a whole new level.

Luckily for the young Genin, he didn't have to review his math books in order to continue reading. The theory was quickly explaine in a short chapter of the book before the important chapter. However, it was a while before Tora understand how to read and explain the equations. It even took a while to understand why it was put and written the way it was. Some random numbers were chosen and he tried some excersises, bringing himself to understand the basics to keep reading and finally reaching the chapter he was waiting to read and learn for a long while now. Finally, the dream would be realized!

'UNDERSTANDING THE SENSORY ABILITY

In order to bring oneself to sense the chakra around him, it is first needed to understand how to analyze chakra in a lab. Firstly, we wish to examin the way chakra is manipulated outside the body and how it affects us. Obviously there are many ways chakra affects the enviorment, whether we change the actual enviorment with Ninjutsu or affect the creatures around us via Genjutsu. It is apperant chakra affects everything around it, which means one can measure it and analyze the results. 

As specified in previous chapters, chakra is easily described with certain functions. Each chakra type has a different mathemetical function describing it, which means it has a different effect on the enviorment. Elaboration on the measurment and analyzing process can be found in other books. Here however, we shall discuss results and the meaning of each result when it comes to play in our world. Please note that you are more than welcome to read more and learn some about the measurment and analyzing process.

Results are elaborated below. Please note that most of the discussion in this book is mainly about Genjutsu of a specific perception. This means that when analyzing Ninjutsu related chakra, it will not be discussed in detail. This is also why the Enchantment perception chakra discussed last, to provide a smooth transition into understanding it and sensing it without the equipment one has in a lab. We strongly advise for every reader to learn more about any other perception.'

The following pages were mainly graphs, results and some data that was put into an equation and explained what one would expect when measurin a certain type of chakra. It was put into detail very well and allowed some further information on what was discussed earlier in the book. There were also some listings of books on other perceptions and other informative sources which Tora could consult if he was feeling lost.

"Right. Ninjutsu!"

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 6

Surely, it was pretty annoying to read all of that. If he was only to focus on a specific type of Genjutsu, why would he need to review the same results for Ninjutsu and other types of Genjutsu? Why not skip ahead and focus on what's important? The answer, as Tora soon found out, was that simply going for a Genjutsu perception without understanding how chakra's worked in Ninjutsu would do no good. In fact, it might confuse him even more, which is why the book presented the ideas behind Ninjutsu first before going on to discuss Genjutsus and the different perceptions one may go into. Simply put, the chapters before the Enchantment perception chapter were made to get him emotionally and mentally ready to face the intellectual challange.

The more he read the more he understood. Ninjutsu was easy to observe as the chakra actually caused changed to the enviorment. The different types of Ninjutsu such as releases were not discussed. The basic idea however was emphasized pretty well. In order to sense Ninjutsu chakra one must interact with the item in question, which should have chakra traces on it. It's easy to identify such item and check it with certain jutsus which weren't specified. However, when dealing with Genjutsus it was a whole other thing.

'ILLUSIONS

As previously stated, sensing Ninjutsu chakras can be done simply by using a specific jutsu one may find written in the academia books. It isn't specified here, though the sources in which one may find such a jutsu are listed below. Please consult these books if you wish to learn more. You are encouraged to open these books and learn, the academia will always welcome those who are willing to learn and persue their knowledge. Bear in mind however, that it is not an easy subject and one may spend years trying to grasp the basic concepts of this lore.

Unlike Ninjutsu, Genjutsu is a lot difficult to understand and sense, which is why the following few chapters will deal mainly in the ideas behind it, the math and the data collected, only to bring you to a specific realization and simple understanding on how Genjutsus actually work and how one may sense a Genjutsu without too much trouble. Of course, it's required to practice the things learned in order to become fully awere of these ideas and techniques. 

Firstly, we shall discuss the easier part of Genjutsu. Illusions - which are mind affecting jutsus dealing with the first five perceptions one is taught in the academy: Figment, Glamour, Pattern, Phantasm and Shadow. All of which have the same basic ideas behind them, although the Shadow perception deals with a different kind of energy on which we will not elaborate. Further, we shall discuss the Enchantment perception, but that is ahead to come.

Illusions deal with...'

Yet another annoying introduction to a chapter, letting the Genin know that it wasn't going to be an easy treat. He wrote down the books specified, just in case he'd want to study some more and continued reading, letting his mind get filled with the knowledge gained from these books and become a better illusion casting Genin. Perhaps even become the fright of the village and get himself into a high ranking position. Who knows?

[Tora Tsume]

Week 1 Day 7

More and more information was flowwing through the Genin's head. The more he read, the more he realized how little he knew about chakra. He barely even got to the point where his knowledge was to extend and to touch the Enchantment perception. He was simply reading about chakra and it already proved to be more difficult and complex to understand than he would initially thought when picking up the book and deciding to sit down and read it. Each word had a specific meaning that would force him to hours of research in order to completely understand it. It was defiantly difficult.

Eventually however, he finally reached the chapter he was looking forward to. Finally the chakra was put aside and the overall explanation of the Enchantment perception was introduced to him in a way he never knew. Mostly Genjutsu taught in the academy has nothing to do with such a perception because it's a little bit too high level for the students. He had to teach it to himself, which brought him a lot of questions when trying to learn jutsus that were related to it. This chapter came in time.

'...(Author's Note: At the time this book was originally written the great five nations were not at war and the ninja academies around the globe were not yet founded. This following chapter is a personal introduction to the Enchantment perception, followed by the original introduction. Have a nice read)

The Illusion perceptions taught in the ninja academy are usually presented in the most shallow and superficial way. The idea is not to complicate the students and avoid using the actual math behind it. In this book we do not discuss these perceptions, since we wish to focus on the other one, however the basic understanding is the same. For further information on the Illusionary perceptions please read the specified books at the bottom of the page.

When dealing with Genjutsu, the chakra circulation in one's body becomes mixed up, causing him to feel things differently. Actually, what happens is that the chakra circulation in one's body is affected by many things and when casting a Genjutsu, the function of circulation may either change permenantly or simply get misshapen. Illusionary perceptions are usually simpler and cause a little alteration which causes Illusions of a certain type. Enchantment perceptions turn the entire circulation into something different which allows one to control thoughts and feelings. More on that later...'

Everything was presented in a much better way. Things were slowly becoming clearer as he read further into the book, learning to understand and realize just how powerful each perception was and how the Genjutsu affects the specific person, what causes each illusion, or at least a certain type of illusion, which eventually helped him understand why the Enchantment perception affects the thought process and even feelings.

[Tora Tsume]

Week 2 Day 1

Half way done, and Tora felt as if he barely read anything and at the same time as if he read half the globe. It was so impossible to realize just how much information he had missed while in the academy. It was even a little hard to understand how little he knew if at all about that subject as compared to others. This meant there were people out there with knowledge that was enough to counter each and every Genjutsu because of their amazing ability to sense chakra around them. Either way, it meant Tora would have to become a little stronger with his own illusions to thwart these guys as well.

The further he read the more material he had to review. However, once reaching the chapters that had to do with Enchantment, the whole chakra explanation chapters were void, mainly because Tora saw no reason to have learned it into such a level, when clearly the more general understanding was enough. At least so he thought. Soon enough, once reaching the chapter about the actual perception, Tora realized just how wrong he was and once again was forced to flip pages to read and re-read the first few chapters about chakra.

'ENCHANTMENT PERCEPTION

In previous chapters, we talked about the general idea of how the Illusionary perceptions work. However, it wasn't discussed just how it worked and why each illusion affected the brain the way it did. By now you surely have the intuition to understand why and how it works or at least the general idea of the whole Genjutsu. Before we go into the actual Enchantment perception, we will discuss the key elements that cause the dirsuptions through the human brain and cause these illusions in the first place.

When casting a Genjutsu, one in fact sends a wave of chakra that spreads through the air (See chapter 6). This wave has a certain speed and is usually very fast compared to any human or living creature. Once the wave is sent, it is impossible to interrupt it, and funnily enough, it will keep going untill certain conditions are met. This is where the mathematical function of the chakra type comes into play. Once the wave is sent, it is bound to conditions set by the hand seals performed by the user. Traditionally, these conditions have to do with either an area of effect or touch, or even simply looking at someone. 

Once this understanding is set, one may see the effects created by the Genjutsu itself. Each wave hits the person in the vacinity and affects the chakra circulation. (Note: This only happens in Genjutsu related chakra waves). Once someone is hit with the chakra wave, it is nearly impossible to understand a Genjutsu was cast, which is why sensing chakra before the Genjutsu is cast is the important part of the sensing ability. It is often perceieved that the chakra wave can be interrupted by sending other waves to counter act, however that creates several mathematical errors such as...'

With just that, Tora was slowly beggining to realize the idea of Genjutsu in general, which helped the Genin further his knowledge and his ability to both cast the Genjutsu and sense it. Sure, the sensing of Enchantment chakra wasn't yet discussed, but Tora was already grasping the overall concept of it all, which meant he would soon be gifted with the knowledge needed to become a frightning force both in his village and those around it. It was yet another step to take on his way to the top.

[Tora Tsume]

Week 2 Day 2

The Genin was slowly feeling his head growing. Not literally of course. The amount of information getting packed in his brain was growing with each paragrapgh he read. No - each sentance he read. It was all so brilliantly put together! If it weren't for the little introductions to help him understand some basics concepts, or the glossary which was used so often Tora was on the verge of memorising it, he wouldn't have been able to sleep without a huge headache ot some other annoyance that would trouble him through the night.

Before going to bed, Tora reviewed what he read that day, trying to put the pieces together and trying to get a better understanding of the material he read mere hours ago. It wasn't simple, but the more time passed the easier it became to understand the first chapters and the easier Tora could relate to the current chapter he was reading. Finally, he was reaching the end of the book, and only now did it seem like the main point was presented. Chakra sensing aside, it was the part that explained the Enchantment perception to it's fullest, a part he'd feel needed a lot more than just one day of concentration on.

'...Putting the equations aside, we shall first discuss the intuition behind the Enchantment type Genjutsus. It's important to first understand that before diving into the mathematical proof and asserting that our intuition was in fact correct. Once we do that, it's only a matter of simple equations and you will be convinced in how it all works. If you do not understand the intuition, it would be far more difficult to try and derive it from the math, so please, read this part as much as you need in order to understand these simple little bits.

As mentioned before, each Genjutsu has a conditioning element set by the handseals that determines how it affects the people around the chakra wave. With the Enchantment perception it isn't different. Rather, it has a few more conditions set to it because of the specific effect these Genjutsus have on creatures. The main reason this perception is so difficult to understand and execute is because those conditions are not easy to create and each time used, one has to use more chakra to have it happen.

Moreover, the Enchantment perception alters one's chakra in a way that may shift their entire personality - causing a very interesting effect. When trying to change someone's chakra flow permenantly, a single chakra wave sent from regular Genjutsu wouldn't do, which would mean either several waves with different pulses or even a series of infinite waves that would do the trick. Luckily, a certain finite amount is usually enough to make the Genjutsu work and we are currently working on setting a new jutsu that would utilize chakra in a way that one wave would be enough to create such jutsus...'

Reading was one thing, but understanding was another. It wasn't something simple to just make it work. Sure, he understood that he used more chakra when trying Enchantment Genjutsus, but he never realized why. With this, he could focus better, creating a much more favorable effect, which in turn would make his jutsus stronger and a lot more powerful to anyone he decided to cast it on.

[Tora Tsume]

Week 2 Day 3

It was nearly over. The book had only a few chapters left before the conclusion and another note from the author. At least that's what the index said, which was accurate so far. Sure, he was slowly begining to see why the book had such an intest intruduction and emphesised chakra understanding and sensing in the first section. It was all leading somewhere, and he couldn't possibly skip ahead to read about the enchantment perception without the intruduction - it would be like trying to solve equations without knowing the basic laws of arithmetics.

Once reading the previous chapters and understanding the perception better, Tora was ready to dive deeper and understand just how it worked. He could already tell that the Genjutsu was spreading through the air as a chakra wave, hitting a person or an area through some sot of catalyst which would in turn cause some sort of a disturbance in the other's chakra circulation, which was to eventually bring him under the user's control. Thing is, he still couldn't see how the chakra wave was causing such a huge disturbance in one's chakra circulation, even permenantly changing it. Luckily, it was just what the next chapter was about!

'...As mentioned, Genjutsu of the Enchantment perception have a unique effect on one's chakra circulation. To understand the effect, we must first look at the effect of this type of Genjutsu. When the chakra signal is recieved and affects the creature, it's evident the jutsu affects the target's mind. Moreover, it's also evident that the jutsu requires a certain amount of chakra - more than average (By measurements). This brings us to the conclusion that the chakra type one sends when using Enchantment Genjutsus is Type 4. (See ch. 3 for more info)

Since we know the chakra sent, it's now easier to analyze the way one must send it. As explained in earlier chapters, Type 4 chakra is the rare type one must usually practice to master. It's the most difficult of types to create, yet easiest to analyze. To work on this cretion one may use several methods, most of which are mentioned in other literature. In this book we will not discuss it since it's something of a practical matter. For more information consult the literature specified.

Once the Type 4 chakra is created, the way to send it is rather simple. Handseals working as a catalyst usually bring one to send the chakra as a wave. We will not elaborate on the waves creation since it would prove to be too difficult of a math for this book. Academia books provide more knoweledge on the subject. For now, it's important to understand the wave sent is either a single tone wave or a pulse type, sending several pulses over time at a certain frequency...'

It seemed like the prefix to the actual topic was more of a referance book. All they did was talk about how complicated everything was and how one must go and check other books and learn from them. For now it was too difficult of a task for the Genin, but just in case he took note of the other books and simply wrote them down, just in case he would ever want to look into it in a deeper way. At any rate, it was up to him to keep up and finish the book - finally closing in on the actual subject!

[Tora Tsume]

Week 2 Day 4

Nearly over. Just a couple more loose ends to tie up, learn the last bits of information about the Genjutsu perception that he would bring to perfection. The Genin wished to learn more, to analyze, to deduct, to try and see just how far he could take it. Of course, it was impossible with the book at hand. In order to know just how to manipulate the perception to his will, Tora would have to turn to the academia and see how it all works on a deeper level. For now, the book he had gave him enough information to utilize the Enchantment perception to the best of his ability, and even better than most others.

Neatly flipping another page in the book, Tora was finally set and ready to read and learn just how the chakra wave one sends through the perception to another's body, may affect the chakra circulation, to what extent and just how it would look with different changes. First, as previously shown, he would see a specific example, and then he was to observe the general case displayed, which was supposed to help him develop some sort of an intuition about how the perception worked and how each Genjutsu cast with it would have to work in order to maximize the result and bring himself to the very best of his ability.

'...As mentioned before, the chakra wave sent through the air when casting a Genjutsu (Aside from some specific cases), is generally descrived as a single tone wave. The equation as we've shown in previous chapter describes the length the wave passes during it's time in the air, the bounding conditions and even the effects to the body of the creature recieving it. So, since it's a general case, we can use it to try and develop and drive conclusions when trying to force the Enchantment perception conditions on it.

When the wave of chakra hits the body, the chakra circulation is affected. As seen in the illusion perceptions, it's mildly affected so as to create illusions seen by the creature affected by the Genjutsu. When dealing with Enchantment perception, we don't wish to create illusions but rather change their entire world view and perhaps even way of thinking. In order to understand our motivation, lets use a private case of the Enchantment Genjutsu which would be useful for other cases as well.

When using 'Break Concentration' - a Genjutsu of said perception, it's easy to deduce the effect caused is rather simple. The chakra wave hits the target in a way that causes them to not see an illusion, but rather feel it - which says a lot about the nature of the wave. Rather than affecting the mind, it affects a different part of the brain that's in charge of information processing - going into a deeper level of the actual general case of the illusion Genjutsu. To take a further look...'

The next pages Tora read contained a lot of information, including the specific mathematical functions used when using the certain Genjutsu presented and actually showed how it would affect the brain if it was to change, showing a low of D-rank Enchantment Genjutsus with just that simple case, and eventually developping a general idea of how a D-rank Genjutsu function was supposed to look. Further it descrive the same process for C and B rank Genjutsus.

However, with all that, there was an entire chapter dedicated to A and S ranked Genjutsus, which may have hinted on a certain point one should take note of.

[Tora Tsume]

Week 2 Day 5

A little more to go, and yet Tora was still stuck on that very same chapter, trying to understand it. He had re-read it twice already and still couldn't bring himself to understand it. It wasn't an easy matter to understand, especially since most of it was puely mathematical, meaning he would need to repeat it a couple more times and think about every step before understanding the meaning of the equations and how they actually affect the person hit by the chakra wave described by such.

The current page he was reading decribed the process of exectly how the chakra affects a person. Tora decided to skip the mathematical equations and try to instead read what it meant. The math could wait. Maybe if he understood the underlying meaning behind it he would achieve a higher level of understanding that would help him understand the mathematical equations describing the processes that take place within the body of the one affected by Genjutsu. It came down to the A and S ranked Genjutsus.

'...In order to understand the affect, we must look at the equations and use them in a parallel sense when trying to make sense of what they describe. As shown before, once the wave hits the body, in order to create a long lasting affect, one would need to send several pulses of chakra. It's also implied that when dealing with higher ranked Genjutsus, a permenant change to the chakra circulation would change with an infinite number of pulses of chakra wave - which is physically impossible to create.

However, we still menage to witness S-ranked Genjutsus that would need such a harsh condition to take place. How is that possible? Simply put, if we look at the equation describing the amplitude of the chakra wave over time and throughout the rest of the pulses, we see that the spectrum of such a pulse train goes down in an exponential rate. This means that after a certain point it would be so small that it's significanse would mean nothing. This creates a smaller pulse train, a finite one, that creates virtually the same effect. The only differance is that it's not everlasting as we would hope.

It's easy to see that the chakra circulation of the target wouldn't be completely changed, and since it's always striving to come back to it's regular course, which is the minimally consuming enery one, it's easy to deduce it would do just that, opposing the change greated by the Genjutsu. However, if you look at the equation of the change rate of the chakra, you'll see that it's so slow that at least 3 lifetimes would pass before it's back to it's regular form. Of course, it's easy to assume that as time goes by one may come to understand they are under Genjutsu, which would make it easy for them to dispell the Genjutsu and speed the process along.'

He was slowly growing to realize and understand just the strength of the Enchantment perception. The more he read the more he grew to realize how powerful it can make him to learn it more and master it. He was slowly getting ready to finish the book, just a little more to go, a tiny little chapter and a conculsion, which would probably contain recommendations to other books in the series and perhaps say where to find them.

Week 2 Day 6

It was it. The final chapter, the one last thing the Genin would have to read and understand, the last little bit of information that would put him a whole level above all others and turn his Genjutsu of the Enchantment perception to be known and feard. It was finall the thing he has been waiting for. Sure, he was already strong with the knowledge of the rest of the book, but it all came to one final close in this final chapter, which would put everything he had learned to practical use and actually feed him the most valuable information of them all!

Flipping the page to look at the Title, Tora took in a deep breath as he watched the final pages of the book. He didn't notice a lot of mathematical equations, nor did he see any technical explenation, at least not through a brief look over the first two pages. This meant that it was either once again all theory, or perhaps something a little bit more practical which Tora would probably use soon enough.

'CHAPTER 27: PRACTICAL USE

As seen before, each equation presented in this book has a Genjutsu that corresponds to it. We've shown how the Genjutsu chakra wave works and even explained briefly how it gets it's form - via the handseals. However, we have yet to explain the little bits that would turn one's Genjutsu to a whole new level. After all, since some Genjutsu have a certain function that describes them, if we take the time to look at the general function, we might find specific applications or methods that would help us create the most precise seals and chakra to in fact create the most desired effect.

It has been proven that the more accuratle the chakra wave sent via the user through the air when using the Genjutsu, the better and more lasting the effect and the less likely is anyone to withstand it. It's easily observed in the more extreme scenarios, when one puts no chakra into his seals - and nothing happens, or when one puts too much chakra in his seals and once again - nothing happens. It's why it is so important to come to the exect place to create the most powerful Genjutsu effect.

In order to do that, we must look at the factors that create the chakra wave: Chakra, Seals and various interruptions. Since we cannot control the seals, as they bring us to the point where the Genjutsu would work and places us on the correct function, all we can do is minimaze the interruptions and control the chakra. It would be also wise to try to use the chakra wave as a second pulse to counter the interruptions and with that create the most useful effect. It's important to mention that interruptions always exist, which is why even when trying to minimalize them with the extra chakra pulse, it would be impossible to counter them completely. It's why people still evade Genjutsus, even when attacked by masters of this art...'

The following pages were extremely helpful, teaching the Genin more about sending his chakra and aiming correctly. Explained wonderfully and swell, Tora was reading this chapter again and again, trying to see if he got it all figured out. He even tried some of the exercises given in the book to practice and see if he was to become a better Genjutsu caster - which would help in the upcoming Chunin Exams.

Week 2 Day 7

It was finally over. The last few pages of the books remained, and Tora could pride himself on knowing secrets few others knew about the Enchantment perception. It was a proud moment and Tora couldn't be happier to have finally reached this point and have gained so much from these pages. Whether it was information pertaining chakra or Genjutsu, it was something new he learned and something he would probably put to use as soon as he could to gain himself a name and a reputation of a true Genjutsu master.

'Dear reader, you have made it through to the final chapter of this book, learned about chakra control, manipulation, usage and detection. It is information one shouldn't take lightly and it's recommended to re-read this book every once in a while to truely master it's knowledge and understand it on a deeper level. Moreover, it's recommended to take a look into other Grimoires found in several lands across this globe of ours. There aren't many, so if one comes to your possesion, treat it with care and use it's knowledge to benefit yourself and the rest of humanity.

I hope this book have gave you an expirience none other book can, knowledge few posses, and perhaps even inspired you to pursue something bigger and become something greater. I hope to recieve good word of those who have read these books (which have been revised to some degree since their first publishing.) I wish you the best and hope you will find the small list of resources helpful, as well as try to write some of your own expiriences with the excersies presented in this book...'

Holy TP that is a lot of posts! Well I must say you did well here. This only needs 70 TP worth of posts (7 posts) but, that doesn't matter you got what was required.

Learned! +70 TP

Exit this thread and make a new one if you wish to train more.

[Father 'Suke]

Minh, I have to say this much. Although this is a training of sorts, it isn't for TP so the TP you've awarded is void. This training was for the use of bonuses found in a grimoire he possesses. You may train techniques now if you wish Tora, this reading is approved.
