Invisibility, Superior
Rank: "S"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A superior ability of invisibility that keeps the target invisible even after attacking.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Affects 1 object that is 500 lbs per Class Level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be negated. This powerful Glamour functions like Invisibility, except that it masks image, scent, and sound alike, concealing the subject from all senses except touch and taste. As with Greater Invisibility, this Jutsu does not end if the subject attacks. While invisible, the subject exudes no scent and radiates a silence that absorbs all sound and vibration in a 2-meter radius, preventing detection by Tremorsense and similar abilities, as well as preventing speech and performing of Jutsus with Vocal usage (though the subject remains able to detect scent and can hear as normal). Superior Invisibility renders the recipient immune to detection by See Invisibility, and other forms that would make someone see including Blindesense, though creatures under the effect of the Jutsu can be detected by True Seeing.
Limit: Must know the Glamour Perception. Must know Permanent Invisibility.

    Inoryu perceived the invisibility jutsu be of the utmost rank for the glamour perception, yet there was only a quarter of a chance for him to believe such a convincing genjutsu. He would keep that in mind when dealing with genjutsu in general. Of course, if there were other ways to make his genjutsu more convincing, he would pursue them, but for now understanding himself was satisfactory. He dismissed the shadow clones and produced two more. 

    Imbued with the same instructions, Inoryu observed his shadow clones' reactions. One of them had negated the glamour and could see his person standing in the midst of them, the other shadow clone looked around perplexedly. Since he had produced ten shadow clones, it was easy for Inoryu to calculate the success rate of such a convincing illusion, "30% success rate." He wondered what other ways he might become resilient to genjutsu and whether his resilience would always trump the believability of genjutsu. He figured it was more valuable to be resistant to genjutsu, yet, if the genjutsu that he casts are effective it would make him even more so. 

    In order to become more familiar with the superior invisibility genjutsu, he would dismiss his glamour and appear to the perplexed shadow clone. At that point, he just needed practice. He began the long series of hand seals; monkey, ox, hare, horse, boar, dog, dragon, bird, ram, monkey, ox, hare, horse, boar, dog, dragon, ox, dragon, dog, and serpent. When they were completed, he designated a large amount of chakra necessary for the S-rank genjutsu. The chakra transformed into the glamour perception and clung to his person while also radiating in a two meter area around him.

    The shadow clone that had previously resisted the genjutsu now looked perplexed, and the second shadow clone that had previously believed the genjutsu was now able to see his person. Inoryu understood that the glamour perception that surrounded him for two meters muted all sound within the area, so speaking to them was pointless but he was free to move about without having to worry about the sounds of a noisy woodland floor. He moved about, circling the shadow clone casually that had believed the glamour, while the other continued to eye him. He stopped when he had walked to the four o' clock position of the unsuspecting shadow clone. 

    Perhaps the genjutsu was becoming more convincing and decided to try his luck. He dismissed the shadow clones and produced four more. The results revealed that only one of them had succumbed to the genjutsu. He dismissed them and produced two more shadow clones, neither of them were deceived by the glamour. He dismissed them and produced four more. This time all four of them had succumbed to the genjutsu. Inoryu was surprised. 

    Inoryu was determined to make an estimated success rate with the new results so he produced four more shadow clones. Again, all four shadow clones were deceived by the glamour. The Yamanaka was bewildered, "The success rate has changed to 60%," he thought as the shadow clones scattered around the area to search for their person. He then began to wonder if determining statistics were really accurate. One success rate leaned more towards genjutsu resilience, yet the other leaned in favor of the deception. Inoryu shrugged and figured he was pretty much even with it comes to resisting and casting high level genjutsu. 50% rate to negate S-ranked genjutsu was favorable, he supposed.

    Inoryu could feel the massive drain of chakra from his chakra pool. He hadn't realized the implications of using such high level genjutsu before then. Though it was an exceedingly convincing genjutsu, he figured he would need to use it sparingly so he wouldn't burn himself out. He realized he had used over half of his entire chakra pool between the glamour and the shadow clones. 
   
    Still he wanted to focus on just the genjutsu now a couple of more times since he had gotten an estimate of its success rate on a highly resilient genjutsu master. Besides, a couple of more times was about all he had left in his pool. He dismissed the shadow clones and the glamour, then began reworking it on himself. He wanted the execution to be second nature so he could call upon the genjutsu even in difficult circumstances. He perceived the glamour slowly dissolve into nothing. 
   
    With a sharp exhale, he began on the long series of hand seals. Not only was he learning how to designate the proper amount of chakra for an S-rank jutsu, but he was also learning what it took pertaining to the hand seal component. After completing the hand seals as quickly as he could, he designated an S rank amount of chakra for the jutsu. The chakra transformed into a glamour, clinging on to his person and radiating out for two meters. He took a deep breath as he felt that he was getting intense exercise of his chakra.

    His chakra thinned and transformed into a perception that clung on to his person and radiated out for two meters. He could perceive the glamour clearly, though it was invisible even to him. Rather it was his sense of intuition and high level of chakra control that allowed him to visualize the workings of the stunning perception. In his vision, the glamour was potent, wonderful, and like an aura that safeguarded him from the observations of the outside world. Visualizing the beauty of the glamour perception in action inspired a faith that the glamour could, and would keep him safe. 

    Though he knew that it was highly effective, not everyone would be deceived, so he thought it best that he did not overspecialize in the invisibility genjutsu. He needed other responses to actors that were resilient to genjutsu. As he stood there in the protection of the glamour, he would begin to think of other ways he could gain control of the situation. Surely, this invisibility genjutsu was the most convincing genjutsu in his arsenal but to those who may see through it with doujutsu. Those people still might be susceptible to the phantasm perception, but what of those people who had a remarkable resilience to all genjutsu? 

    Well, he had two styles of taijutsu that he could fall back on. He moved his right knuckles to his chin and assumed the appearance of contemplation. Subconsciously he was wondering, "How should I proceed?" with his training. He allowed his mind to seek an answer as he meditated within the aura of the glamour perception. A couple of minutes passed and he had gleaned some more information about the active superior invisibility jutsu; he estimated that the duration of the glamour would last for about 25 hours.

    Inoryu relaxed into a good posture, arms hanging down his sides while his spine remained straight and focused on his breathing. He wanted to get used to the feeling of the active glamour aura around him that concealed his presence from observers. As he meditated, he could feel small amounts of chakra being restored to him and his familiarity with the genjutsu grew. His meditation allowed him to be more receptive to his training and enhanced his memory and motor skills regarding the weaving of the long series of hand seals. 

    As he grew more familiar with the genjutsu, he was able to subconsciously glean more information about it. For instance, he learned that at his level, the glamour could affect an object up to 2,500 pounds. He gleaned that the glamour not only conceal image and sound, but also scent. He understood the glamour wouldn't dispel after an attack and that it absorbs all sound and vibration in a two meter radius. Though it conceals sound and vibration from inside the glamour, it did not conceal it from the outside meaning he would still be capable of hearing and detecting scent as normal.  

    It appeared there was more to the glamour too that Inoryu couldn't understand, but he viewed it in a positive light. For these things he did not understand, he was confident that it allowed him more protection of some sort. These secrets came to him in meditation and he wondered what else he would know. He continued to meditate, restoring chakra and growing accustomed to the genjutsu. He would only be seen by the most genjutsu resilient, or those who possess and activated a doujutsu, in the midst of the dense woodland forest of Training Area 1.

Godric started to get into this whole teaching thing, it felt empowering in a way. A class of shinobi were off in the distance and he went right on over and started nit picking the teacher. The teacher then raised up his hands and told him to try. Thus Godric started to bark orders at the children. He was forceful imposing and the children listened to him. It was kind of fun and he was enjoying himself.

He had them line up in a row and sound off who they were. He was telling them to start some exercises and giving them notes on why they were doing this the lazy way. He did not he wasn't doing a very good job at some of this, but he was simply having fun with the children right now. One of them picked up on this and started to bark back. It was like building a good relationship. this was a good start if one knew what to look for.

    Inoryu's meditation lasted for another twenty minutes and his glamour did not lose any consistency whatsoever. The genjutsu continued working as a powerful force of concealment and the more time passed meditating, the more Inoryu felt connected to the it. An affinity for the glamour began to resonate within him and it enforced his learning of it even further. The hand seals, the chakra designation, and the activity of the glamour started to become second nature. The genjutsu was one with himself. 

     Inoryu would continue meditating, paying no attention to the time and restoring small amounts of chakra. Though he did feel that his chakra pool was low and decided that it as time to end today's training session. He opened his eyes to the majesty of the world and took it all in. He was satisfied that he had trained more into the glamour perception and wanted to train into further. He had the knowledge of glamours after all and felt inspired to turn that knowledge into practical genjutsu. 

    Taking a final conscious breath, he released the glamour and he felt the aura dissipate with a sort of popping sensation. In an instant, that wonderful aura he felt was gone. Finally, he would acquire any and all items he might have left hanging around and make his way to a restaurant. His first desire was to restore his chakra with a big meal. Revealed again to all of the world, he made his way out of the training area and into the streets of Kusagakure.

Barking at the children was actually kind of fun. He seen some of the kids were having fun as well with it as they enthusiastically preformed his orders. He was starting to identify the real champions of the groups and told them to start special tasks. Like throwing a rock and who could do it the best. The others whom were not at their level he told to start running laps. Soon he could see a certain unity forming though.

Godric was learning that through some reward this group was starting to get into his angry demeanor. He smiled and laughed as he barked at them again telling them to do this or do that. It wasn't what he was telling them to do, it was how he was doing it. Godric was almost making fun at the teacher at this point, but in a way finding out what motivates a group...

    Inoryu returned to The Meadows fully restored and rested, ready for another day of training. Upon entering the dense woodland of training area 1, he decided to get right to it. He wore a plain dark grey shirt and black cargo shorts equipped with two slots of bo shuriken, a slot of hira shuriken, two slots of kunai, a pen, a blank scroll and his tanto secured to his right thigh. To follow yesterday's subject, he put his mind to the glamour perception. 

    Following the same theme of invisibility, he brainstormed practical ways he could apply the glamour. After a brief moment, he had one such idea. He remembered reading somewhere that he could use a glamour to conceal a weapon or object on their person. The glamour would be dismissed upon attacking or using the object, but was favored for making the user appear less prepared than they are. Of course, it wouldn't conceal the tactile sensation of the object but it would conceal it from sight. 

    Such a genjusu would be very practical and very simple to execute. He intuited the four hand seals of the conceal genjutsu, weaved them quickly and applied the glamour to his tanto. The tanto secured to his right thigh effectively disappeared from sight. Indeed, he appeared much less prepared than he actually was and thought it was a very practical genjutsu that would allow him to carry his tanto virtually anywhere.

This technique may be disbelieved once interacted with. User gains the ability to hide words within words, effectively speaking two words at the same time. The user choose which layer of speech each creature within their line of sight hears - the base layer or the hidden layer. Creatures you cannot see hear the base layer.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception.

    Inoryu understood that there were many practical uses for a ninja when it came to the glamour perception. Confidentiality was a necessary for every ninja, some more than others. Regarding this sentiment, Inoryu knew that the glamour perception had a genjutsu for just that and more. When secrets were mandatory for the mission's success, the glamour perception had an answer and even took it a step further. The double voice genjutsu, he remembered, was a genjutsu that allowed the user to speak words within their words. Not only could he keep confidentiality, but he could even sabotage an enemy with misinformation. 

    The double speak genjutsu afforded great power to the user as well. The illusionist would have the power to choose what he says regarding both messages; the base layer or the hidden layer as well as who hears which layer. If a spy was listening in on the conversation, Inoryu could effectively deliver a message within the hidden layer while feeding the enemy misinformation simultaneously. He squinted his eyes as he tried to remember the mechanics of the glamour as well as the hand seals. It didn't take long to recall the information. 

    The Yamanaka weaved the four hand seals that he had long ago memorized. He designated a very small portion of his chakra for the genjutsu and felt it take effect. He considered his speech having two layers and thought of something to say to learn to utilize the double speak genjutsu. In the base layer, meant for anyone in the vicinity to hear would say "Yuri-sama is the Kusakage." The second, hidden layer, meant for only him would say, "Yuri-sama is a Genin." He could perceive the glamour effecting his speech and knew that the genjutsu was successful.

Godric moved over to some of the various training dummies spread throught the training ground. Taking a katana he started whacking the thing. He could already feel the effect of his strike as the force rung throught the handle. He felt it many more times as he smashed the thing against the training dummy. Looking to the right he could see another one there.

Moving the two together Godric started to take a nice long swipe at both the targets. He could see that his power was severly diminished after crossing the first target. He felt he knew what he wanted and started at it again. This time he took his weapon with both hands and did the same thing. Crushing his weapon against each and noting the results. He could see that if he tweaked how he was doing this he could potential get more force out of it. So he adjusted his hands to make better leverage.

Continueing Godric slammed the katana into the two targets and noted the result. It was not quite where he expected to be at but this was going to take some continuation and repetition. Over and over he hit the targets as he tried to damage each with one swing. He was attacking each as he took one swing. His hands were position so that he was using the katana as a lever and swinging through the targets. Then a thought crossed his mind about continuing the attack...

That was it... Godric had to do some imagining with the strikes as the follow through was important. Rather than focusing on the targets he had to focus beyond the targets. This way his body would produce enough power automatically when he wished for it. This was somewhat a key of this type of attack and followed through with the power.

The ability to gain that power was only through muscle memory. With a few more strikes he could see a little bit of progress towards his objective. He continued to strike the target and follow through to the next. The targets were starting to shake showing some of the progress of his training but he kept it up. It was better to over stress this method rather than holding back. The power from the attacks continued as he laid into the strikes using the muscles in his arms. He noted positioning was starting to become a factor as well.

Godric pivoted on a single foot as he swung the katana around. Following through with the strike hitting both targets with one swing. He could feel the force of both and figured that the follow through was what was giving his strike momentum. As he continued to strike the targets another thought came to him as he thought about the momentum. Really winding up to strike the targets would add to this momentum so thus he tried out a strike like that as well. The steel indeed would carry through to the next target as he had done this. He could see a bit more result with each attempt.

A few things Godric had noted thus far as improved his ability to follow through with one strike toward both targets. Godric continued this method up so that his body would start to get use to striking in this fashion. The reason he did not particularly train something in this manner toward one way of striking though. Even though he pivoted he struck in different manners.

Changing things up he tried for diaginal cuts as well. Noting how the fall of force came into play at certain times. He continued to strike this way for a while before switching to a different method. He tried the seath draw technique as well and horizontally cut across. Keeping in mind the things he had learned so far he wanted to produce something that would carry over to multiple targets no matter which technique he was using. So he continued to the sheath strike technique while carrying his blade across to the next target.

Godric felt that he was improving with each strike, and was starting to find another key toward this method of attack. The follow through from one target to the next could retain more momentum if he leaned into the attack a bit. He noticed that as it raked through one target, leaning in would reduce the power loss of the momentum as it continued to the next. In fact in some cases it made it stronger. He continued the sheath method further as he leaned into it and struck both targets in a single blow. The damage was starting to show upon the targets.

Godric had to continue to shift his way of striking into a different method. This time Godric used his Santoryu methods and struck the targets. He was already noticing how much more powerful the three sword style was. But it was a lunging technique that he was using and to use the follow through here was rather interesting. He scraped by the first target and into the next target. This was how he could produce that affect.

But there were different challenges with this way of striking as he did the maneuver. Leaning in, he had to be sure he was on target else he found that his footwork became unstable. So the pivoting motion of his foot had to be spot on as well so that he could feel his way though the strike. Everything had to be in balance as he felt how the strike carried through. Practice was needed as he produced this over and over again. Starting to grow a feeling about this kind of balance. He side stepped and started to strike the targets at different angles as well.

This way he was feeling just where and when to apply which trick to which situation. He started to cycle through his different types of attack as he did this. This was simply brunt force practicing now as he was identifying his weak points and covering the gaps. His muscles were to retain the muscle memory as he continued to strike the targets. His mind was starting to identify the balance of each strike so that he could produce a stable strike. Over and over, with different methods, he would change things up randomly so that he nearly never had to think about it to produce the affect.

Godric was starting to like this method and continued it except he placed more targets in view. Taking his weapon once again and slashing five targets around him with one blow. He could see two fo them get struck heavily but the others were still unphased for the most part. So he accumulated the methods from before and tried again.

He noted a marginal progress in his attempt but he noted that he simply needed to practice this a bit. So he did what he did before and started to strike in different ways and applied his knowledge of cleave. Sometimes he would produce the result he was looking for but other times he did not. This confirmed that was doing this correctly but the balance between power and momentum was called into question even further than before. As he struck he had to tighten his grip on this concept and make sure he was without flaw.

More practice, and Godric discovered that he was achieving just this with simply trying different fighting styles that he knew wit this methodology. A few times with a Santoryu technique, a few with Sword Saint, and a few with Busosen. He noted with certain styles it was simpler, or even if it were a slash or a thrust strike. But in theory this could be done with any. But as he practice he ironed out the methods of each styles and types of attacks. Soon the targets were to show the wear and tear of the attacks as he was as if dancing around them striking all with one fluid motion. It was starting to look artful as he swung, dipped and stepped as he moved from strike to strike.
