    The shadow clones made quick work of the diversions. One by one, the decoys vanished after becoming victim to either a bo shuriken or hira shuriken of the shadow clones. In just a few seconds, Inoryu was back to tracking the target shadow clone as the bo shuriken merely stuck in his back and he kept running. The shadow clone weaved through the hand seals for the invisibility, greater justu and vanished completely into thin air. Inoryu lost sight of the shadow clone and was incapable of following further. 

    Stopped in his tracks, Inoryu dispersed the three shadow clones he recently produced but allowed the shadow clone fleeing from the phantasmal hunter to exist. He needed to know how the jutsu would play out. He had observed enough of the fear effect, but he knew that his senses would indicate if the shadow clone lived or died. He took a breath and began to walk to a nice spot casually where he could enjoy the sky as it began transitioning from moonlight to sunlight. He found a lone bench where he could enjoy the sunrise and took a sit to watch the sky. 

    The shadow clone continued to run for another half an hour, well into the sunrise that had turned the sky blue. The air was cool and humid; Inoryu dressed prepared with his dark grey sweatpants,red hoodie and managed Winter in Kusa no Kuni well. It was even chillier now, near freezing, and would be for a little while until the sunshine brought heat to the village. He was still waiting for the effects of the jutsu to play out.

    The shadow clone fled until it could flee no more. His stamina had run dry and he turned to face the abomination that preyed upon him. As if feasting on the shadow clone's fear, the abomination approached slowly. The shadow clone could do nothing but make himself small and cower in fear of the beast. One thin arm of the phantasmal hunter extended its full nine meter length and touched the shadow clone. 

    Inoryu, who was still sitting at the lone bench when he had been alerted that his jutsu was successful. He also sensed that the chakra that had been evenly distributed to the shadow clone returned to him in full. He understood that it could mean only one thing: death. He closed his eyes in a bow of solemnity as he remembered the fear that the shadow clone had experienced. The jutsu was far from what he expected. He had faith that the phantasm perception would offer a peaceful death, and it does with the phantasmal killer jutsu, but the phantasmal hunter was quite the opposite. Yet, Inoryu understood that the phantasmal hunter was more likely to succeed. 
    
    Severe panic and anxiety lasted for the shadow clone for over half an hour. If a victim would have to suffer those effects, he wondered if they would prefer to be sliced in half by Houkou. At least the suffering would end quickly. The phantasmal hunter was a truly menacing jutsu, one that he did not agree with, yet he had come to know it. He felt anguish for his shadow clone and regretted using the jutsu even on a shadow clone.

    Inoryu would make his way back to the meadows while contemplating the ramifications of the jutsu. "The phantasmal hunter is the more advanced version of the phantasmal killer version, yet the character of the phantasmal hunter jutsu is so evil. Like the hand seal component that is imbued in both jutsu, is the phantasmal killer jutsu evil as well? The traits are there, hidden, I suppose."

    He was giving an effort to try to determine how to counter a genjutsu of that caliber. "The fear effect is profound but it isn't the primary effect. Therefore it must serve a purpose. I have to consider this as an A-rank jutsu. It must have a demoralizing effect on the subject, that for every minute passed, the genjutsu is more believable."

    "So how do I counter? When in such an extreme state of fear, genjutsu kai is impossible. The only action the subject can take is flight, and any jutsu that would aid that intention. I observed it when the shadow clone used the instant diversion jutsu. He refused to stealth, or fight as well."

    The more Inoryu thought about it, the more powerful the jutsu seemed. "The longer the genjutsu lasts, the more it breaks down the subject's natural resistance to genjutsu. So if one can somehow nullify the effects of fear, they would still be touched by the phantasm to trigger the belief. But is it even possible to nullify the fear effect? Maybe some are naturally resistant to it, meaning that they would be faced with the disbelief sooner."

    Inoryu changed direction of his walk and began to make way for the Kusakage Keep. He figured that he would need to do some research in the library to find answers. The more he thought about the phantasmal hunter, the more he thought of it as a jutsu that guaranteed death to the subject. "That must be the purpose of the jutsu, to increase the likelihood of death upon the subject by whatever means necessary. This jutsu uses genjutsu to guarantee death."

    He was beginning to understand that the phantasmal killer jutsu was a genjutsu to realize death. Despite the sinister aura of the hand seals, Inoryu found it benign. It was the offer of a painless, and relatively quick death. A horrible phantasm might appear by the fear effect isn't induced, so it could be seen as some sort of shinigami. The phantasmal hunter on the other hand is a mechanism to kill the subject with genjutsu in the most effective way. It throws aside the benign nature of the phantasm killer jutsu for the ultimate likelihood of success.

    The chuunin tried to think of the jutsu with an unbiased perception, without a concept of good, or evil. He began to realize that despite the method, the genjutsu was a tool with a dual function, and ultimate one intended result. Maybe he couldn't agree with the jutsu now, because he was adverse to the idea of causing good people suffering. "But what if the subject is not good? What if he has committed atrocities against good people?" 

    In this perspective, the phantasmal hunter jutsu became more agreeable. He would never use it on an innocent, and he swore he wouldn't, but why should he hold back against someone who deserves it? He knew that there were very bad people out there and he wanted to be a force of good to oppose them. "What if this jutsu is a solution that allows the good in?"

    Inoryu wanted to learn a more proficient way to kill and he did, though he was surprised by the method. He would continue his casual morning walk to the Kusakage Keep where he could do some research in the library and check in with Vlad. He was determined to find a way to counter such a powerful jutsu because genjutsu kai in that state was impossible. He could see the medieval castle of the keep with the Kusagakure banners coming up in the distance.

Part 1
The lazy grow stronger in their sleep.

While searching the dream Weapon Shop, Dream Ameya came across an eloquently created katana that she found rather beautiful. She picked up the blade and admired the masterful craftsman shift, letting herself absorb the separated pieces throughout the entire blade. She started with the handle, admiring the cord wrap and it’s multitude of brilliant colors that made her feel like she was holding a deadly rainbow. The pommel had rainbow colored tassels hanging from the end of it, making a good combination with the cord wrap.

The same, or rayskin, underneath the cord wrap was a tanned color, not really adding the beauty of the katana but showing the authenticity of it. She gripped the handle and could feel how it was made for a somewhat larger hand than hers, but she could definitely see how good the design to it was. Next she shifted her attention to the guard, admiring the oval shape of it, and how it seemed to just match the beautiful handle of the sword so perfectly.

The blade collar of the blade held the guard in place perfectly and would make sheathing the blade effortless. She looked at the different ridges along the blade and noted how the curve of the blade was slight. The back of the katana was completely dull, with no attempt at an edge, while the edge was perfectly sharp and seemed to be able to cut through multiple people of need be. She looked at the curved edge at the end of the blade and noted that the angle was sharper than the rest of the blade.

She continued to study the masterfully crafter sword and even studied the groves on the blade as well. All of this information was necessary in order to make her own blade as authentic as possible. The next step she wanted was to study the actual sheath of the katana. As someone who used drawing techniques as their primary source of combat with swords, she knew she would need to focus her attention on that as well. So she set the blade down, against the wall, with the blade tip on the concrete floor and started studying the sheath itself.

There weren’t very many parts that actually made the sheath, she noticed that pretty quickly. The scabbard was made of leather, and colored to try and match the cord wrap and tassel on the handle of the actual katana. Though with it being made of leather, the colors were obviously a darker shade. Wrapped around the scabbard was a hanging cord made of silk. It perfectly matched the rainbow coloring on the katanas handle.

Finally she needed to look at how the blade fit into the sheath. This was also vital because of how she was going to use the blade. And in Busosen, she also had a technique where she used the sheath as well. She noted where the blade was supposed to slide it and where the back went. She knew it wouldn’t go in any other way. She then took hold of the expensive, masterfully crafter katana and broke the tip off on the ground as she was careless. She slowly slid the katana into the sheath, watching them both closely with her Byakugan actived.

Part 3
The lazy grow stronger in their sleep.

As she sheathed the katana, she noted how the blade collar fit snuggly into the scabbard. She wanted to see how well it actually rested in there, so she cracked the scabbard in half and made sure that she knew exactly what the inside of the scabbard looked like. With all of this information, she knew that she could craft the perfect blade. Only, she wasn’t going to craft a katana. She learned from studying this priceless masterpiece that katana were too big for her to wield. She tossed the masterpiece behind her and picked up a cheap wakizashi and studied it as well. It was just a smaller version of the katana.

Now it was time for her to make this weapon on her own. She wanted to take it area by area to ensure that she crafted the best sword possible, so she started with the handle. She wouldn’t get to use the raw leather material that was on the actual sword. Instead, it was all done with paper and made to replicate the appearance. She molder the paper into a handle and focused on creating the pummel first. It was rounded like that of the katana, but instead of tassels, she put a design of her baby monsters on it.

She next went on to design the actual handle of her paper wakizashi. She took a piece of paper and shredded it a bit and wrapped it around the already created handle. She meticulously netted it around the blade, all in the name of creating a good a perfect representation of the cord wrap that went around the handle. She decided to go with darker colors because light colors messed with her sleeping patterns. With the cord wrap on tight, the handle of her paper wakizashi looked very real.

Part 4

She gripped the handle to make sure it was the perfect size for her hands and it was. Next she wanted to move on to making the guard. Instead of the full oval, she molded it to look like a crescent moon. She felt that matched her monster design even better. She ensured that to tips to each side of the crescent moon were sharp and couple also be used as a weapon if she needed to use it that way. Next she needed to mold the blade color. It wasn’t difficult and it fastened on the guard really well.

With the handle made, she was me finally able to craft the actual blade of the wakizashi. She started with the dull back of the wakizashi and made sure that it had a slight curve back to fit the exact shape she was trying to mold her blade into. From there she worked on the blade ridge, which went from the back of the blade to the groove that would be in the center of the actual blade. The blade ridge would of course be a slightly darker shade than the edge side of the blade.

The hardest part was yet to come. She created the edge of the blade next and found it wasn’t sharp enough. So she sharpened the edge a bit more. She needed to do this a couple more times to ensure that the edge was as sharp as the edge on the masterfully crafted katana that she studied. She went on to making sure that the curved edge at the end of the blade was at the perfect angle and ensured that the tip was sharp enough to jab into someone if need be. With that, the wakizashi was crafted.

    It was 6:00 in the morning and the weather was chilly with an occasional brisk wind. The wind mostly gentle, just enough to cause awareness to feel the cold weather, however the long duration between the lowly gusts was pleasant. The sun was out and a single cloud drifted below the yellow orb. Inoryu returned to the training area, this time choosing the dense woodland of training area one rather than the open meadow of training area two. In the first area, it wasn't so clear underneath the canopy of the trees.  The grass, the trees and the brush were of slightly darker hues and shadows of leaves were still prominent throughout. Yet, there was light enough for Inoryu to see everything around him without straining his eyes. 

    Inoryu wore a red hoodie and dark grey sweatpants, and his butt pack housed one slot of darts, five small disks, one slot hira shuriken, 49 senbon, two slots of kunai, and one slot bo shuriken. He had returned to the training area to train his throwing skill, and he always optimized his ninja tools according to the nature of the objective and after spending half the night training genjutsu, he figured he needed to allow his chakra to recover anyway. After two hand seals, he activated the silent image jutsu and created a wooden table and chair connected at the foot to make it a single construct to place down his book and scroll on. The wooden chair and table looked completely appropriate for the woodland environment and with the book and scroll resting on it, there was a new sense of comfort offered to him. 

    The chuunin turned to face a lightly tan woodland tree seven meters away from where he stood. He understood that without aiming, kunai, bo, and hira shuriken only had a range increment of five meters. In order to raise the efficiency of these weapons, he would have to learn how to aim quickly and increase the range increment. He reached behind in his butt bag and drew out five bo shuriken. He loaded the shuriken in his left hand and held a single one in his right. It seemed he would have to be so well trained that quick aim becomes second nature. He took aim of the trunk of the tree that was three to four meters wide and threw the bo shuriken. The metal penetrated the bark exactly where he had intended.

    "That was good, but I need to be faster," Inoryu thought. He turned and took five steps further away from the tree before turning to face it again. He loaded a single bo shuriken in his right hand, assumed an overhand throwing stance and took aim. He was about fifteen meters away and analyzed the throwing conditions. Normally he would take his time with almost boundless patience, but in this instance, he would throw immediately after he analyzed the conditions.

    He was out of practice with this method and the bo shuriken was a couple of inches off where he meant to hit, landing half a meter lower than the first shuriken. With all of his focus on his training, he loaded another bo shuriken in his hand, assumed the overhand throwing stance and took aim. His vision focused on his target and it became more clear. He threw the bo shuriken and it struck very close to his intended point. He loaded another bo shuriken in his right hand while thinking, "I need to be completely accurate."

    Inoryu assumed the throwing stance, his feet aligned with his shoulders with his left foot forward and his right hand holding the shuriken near his right ear. He took aim of the tree and threw it even more quickly than his previous throw. The shuriken struck beside the previous one, a centimeter apart, and he was only a centimeter off of his target. Already he could sense that his quick aim was improving, yet it still wasn't perfect. He would remain in that location until he succeeded so he loaded his right hand with the last bo shuriken from his left hand.

    With the last shuriken drawn, Inoryu wanted to really make it count. He took aim of the target and threw the bo shuriken with an overhanded throw. His intention to make his aim quicker seemed to improve the speed of his aim but not until the shuriken struck his intended target did he find that his quick aim was successful. He turned about, walked off another five meters and turned again to face his target. From this distance, the shuriken that he had already thrown seemed more clustered, but he wanted to be exceptional with his accuracy and would accept no less, especially during training. 

    He reached behind in his butt bag, drew a single bo shuriken and in the same movement, he assumed an overhand throwing stance. He accepted that at this distance he would need to aim longer, but if he continued to aim quickly, ultimately it would be less time than usual. He continued with this method, aiming for a few a seconds and throwing immediately after aiming adequately. It took about a second longer than previously when he threw the shuriken. It speared the air and appeared to stick the tree a few centimeters lower and to the left of his intended target, but still near the cluster of his previous shuriken.  
    
    Inoryu thought that he was executing the technique properly, believing that all he needed was practice. He drew another bo shuriken and assumed the overhand throwing stance with his left foot forward and his right hand beside his right ear. With the intention of making his aim quicker, he analyzed the target for his throw and threw it as soon as he felt he could. He only needed to aim for two seconds this time, achieving a faster aim time than his previous attempt. The bo shuriken speared through the air and stuck more closely in the center of the cluster where he had intended. From this distance, Inoryu judged that it was a very accurate throw and was ready to step back another few meters.

    Having stepped back five more meters, it appeared that the total range to the target was around twenty meters. He was making progress with this technique and resolved to continue doing what he had been doing. He drew out another bo shuriken and assumed the overhand throwing stance. He aimed for a few seconds and immediately threw the shuriken. It speared through the air was just shy of his intended target. The shuriken struck a centimeter to the left of the cluster, though Inoryu had aimed for the center of the cluster. 

    In truth, it wasn't a bad result especially at that range, but Inoryu intended on making his accuracy perfect. He drew another bo shuriken and assumed the stance. He aimed for a few of seconds (a quicker aim time than his previous attempt) and threw the bo shuriken. This time the shuriken flew threw the air and landed in the bulls-eye of his mind. The bo shuriken landed directly in the center of the cluster of shuriken and they were like pillars sticking out from the trunk of the tree. 

    That throw could have been lucky so Inoryu resolved to go for it again. He drew out another bo shuriken and assumed the overhand throwing stance in one fluid motion. He aimed for a few seconds and threw it. Again, the bo shuriken stuck exactly where he had intended. Pleased with the result, he moved back another five meters and faced the target.

This technique reduces the number of rounds needed to Aim from other Range Increments by 1 as well. Example: Eagle Eye normally needs 4 movements of aiming before hurling a throw. This technique decreases the aim time by 1 movement allowing the user to aim for 3 movements before throwing a weapon.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist. Must know Far Shot.

    Inoryu stood twenty five meters from the target and understood that this was the maximum range for the bo shuriken in terms of accuracy. He drew yet another bo shuriken and assumed the overhand throwing stance in the same movement. He aimed for as long as he needed but threw immediately when he was prepared. The bo shuriken speared through the air and stuck into the tree a few centimeters below the cluster of bo shuriken. "Unacceptable," he thought. 

    He drew another bo shuriken and assumed the stance. For the purpose of training quicker aim, he practiced throwing the shuriken immediately with a sense of urgency. This time the shuriken stuck around the cluster, but was still shy of the center. It was an improvement of his last throw but he wasn't satisfied yet. He drew another bo shuriken and assumed the stance. 

    He aimed for three seconds and threw the shuriken. To his satisfaction, the shuriken stuck nearer to the center of the cluster. "One more time," Inoryu thought. He drew out another bo shuriken, assumed the stance and took aim. After three seconds he threw the shuriken and it stuck exactly in the center of the cluster. Satisfied, Inoryu went to retrieve his shuriken from the tree.

    The chuunin felt as though he was making progress with shuriken, but he also know that there was still much to learn. In an effort to increase his throwing skill, he would improvise what to do next. He drew out two bo shuriken from his butt bag and threw them with an overhand stance at a nearby tree. The two shuriken stuck, mere centimeters apart. He meant to do a palm throw but realized that he could achieve the same effect without using his palm. He hadn't considered this method and wondered how he may improve on it. 

    As he contemplated his next move, he practiced the double toss in the meantime. Two more bo shuriken stuck into the tree near the first two, and then two more just a second afterwards. As he continued to double toss, he thought that with some skill, he might be able to hit two different targets. He threw another round of double bo shuriken and the tree had a cluster of shuriken pikes sticking out from its trunk. He then threw two more bo shuriken which made the cluster even more dense. 

    He went to retrieve the shuriken and stepped back ten meters to continue practicing. Two at a time, the bo shuriken would find their way to stick to the tree. He tried to throw them rapidly but that was a clumsy mistake. The double toss technique fell apart as the shuriken lost their accuracy and flew past the tree in different directions. He immediately went to recover his shuriken but realized that only palm throws could work in unison with rapid throws.
