Stones, Bones, Butterflies x2

[Ghost - Koatah ♣]

Akane Chou Juudan [Red Butterfly Cut]
Rank: "C"
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Causes the opponent to see hundreds of red butterflies diving at his/her body and creating cuts as they pass over the body.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Must keep opponent in sight. If the butterfly is killed before entering the ten meter range the jutsu is cancelled.
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects anyone who sees the user. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be disbelieved once interacted with. The user forms the necessary seals and focus their chakra into one of the butterflies. The butterfly will travel towards the opponent. Once the butterfly is within ten meters it will appear to explode into hundreds of red butterflies which will dive bomb the opponent. Each time a butterfly flies across the opponent the opponent will see a cut open in his or her flesh. The butterflies will continue to attack until the jutsu is dispelled or cancelled by the user. The butterflies do not attack in a uniform pattern instead they attack from every which way. Note these butterflies are not solid therefore they cannot be hit. If the opponent tries to swat a butterfly their hand will pass through it, a dead giveaway that a Genjutsu is being used. Though it can be made more realistic by the user throwing secondaries at this time.
Limit: Kitateha Clan, Pattern Perception

"Excuse me miss Yoko, would I be able to aim this at you? I don't really know if it works without someone to try it with. I don't want to hurt or upset anyone though, it isn't a strong genjutsu."

With Yoko's permission the butterfly would be directed down towards her, the swarm engulfing it. The many crimson illusionary wings would flutter like a silent storm and fly down to smother and engulf the young Yoko. Should Kanna be within ten meters of the group a similar situation would occur to her vision. A swarm of butterflies engulfing and smothering her, each flutter and wing beat touching the skin causing a sharp cut into the flesh. Though should either of them reach out and try to touch a butterfly their hands would pass through, the only exception being a single butterfly hidden within the bunch.

The fluttering swarms, were touching and cutting over anyone under the effects of the genjutsu, the slashes were giving Koatah a few ideas, how she could hide some secondary weapon strikes like kunai throwing in this technique. Something she would have to try in the future but not something she could try right now on a compete stranger... even if they were nice enough to let her cast the genjutsu around her. As the swarm of butterflies continued their 'vicious' assault on the targets, the violent slashes and splatters wee becoming more prominent but it was getting a bit much to watch. Though less than a minute had really passed since she first tried this technique, Koatah felt drained keeping it going, pulling the butterfly back the cuts and swarms vanished revealing a single butterfly which now returned to it's standard state. "Is everything okay? I hope I didn't go over board?

Another interesting development the prospect of a genjutsu, one that was publicly announced none the less. Before the technique even took effect Yoko theorised about what exactly its nature would be if the scene was anything to go off it would be butterfly based. But if this girl was to summon illusionary butterflies how would Yoko be able to determine what was real and what wasn't? They could, after all, mix real butterflies in with imaginary ones?

Of course, in reality, Yoko would have nothing to fear from this technique under normal circumstances at least, as her mental fortitude was such that it was unlikely to affect her. In fact, it was far more likely that the young Mizukage reflexed the attack back on its caster with devastating effects. But still, for the moment the pipefox went along with the developments relaying the information of what she saw back to the caster.

“Hmm. A swarm of butterflies and they are attacking me? A good way to break your opponent's line of sight!” Yoko hoped that by incorporating the complexities of this technique into her own jutsus that she would be able to once again increase their effectiveness. If she could supercharge her bardic powers then it would be to everyone's benefit within the group? “Is this another of your clans techniques? It's quite impressive.”

Genjutsu.

Up until now, Kanna has literally never actually seen a genjutsu be performed in any way whatsoever. She heard about it back in the academy. It was the most intriguing thing for her to want to learn about. Ninjutsu seemed so standard, and Taijutsu is rather simple, and no good to her. Genjutsu on the other hand, always sounded like something she would want to look into.

Admittedly she did not want to have her first hand experience of Genjutsu to be something like this. She watched closely as the lady that is accompanying the child talking about Genjutsu, was suddenly swarmed by butterflies that appeared out of nowhere. It looked so ridiculous, but also real enough to be believed. Kanna's multicolored eyes narrowed as she observed the jutsu in action. Something like this sure would be distracting for any civilian, or thug not expecting a butterfly party to say hello. Kanna naturally wondered how ninja or people who know of genjutsu would react to this.

Unfortunately she would end up being the answer to her own question real soon. Much to her expense Kanna now, would be put under the effects of that very genjutsu and have a swarm of butterflies begin to crowd her personal space. In a desperate attempt to be quiet, yet defend herself from the damn things, she began to flail and swat at them in hopes of getting them to flutter away. Though her hands couldn't touch anything. There were incorporeal?! Ghost butterflies?

"no! nO! Sh-ow!...shoo dammit!" she'd quietly command in a flustered fit as the butterflies refused to let up. She would flail and flail until she tripped on a rock and fell backwards on her behind. "Ugh." she'd growl underneath her breath feeling as if she just blew her cover.

More importantly the cuts felt like they were only making matters worse, as her mind was fully convinced this was real. Genjutsu is a tricky thing, and under the stress of this attack Kanna's body naturally began to resist it the more she thought about what a Genjutsu is. The academy teacher's dumb voice began to surface as parts of the lesson showed up again.

This is fake, it has to be. At least...some part of it was. Kanna kept her eyes closed and focused on ignoring the jutsu. To endure it, until she could break it. Though soon enough the issue seemingly vanished. Her eyes slowly opened up again only to see the sky above her. And in a few seconds she'd sit up only to now see a single butterfly which had returned to the small child.

"How annoying..." she'd scowl to herself, while staring at that butterfly. Though she couldn't hide the hidden interest either. Genjutsu huh?...That could be useful...

"Are you okay miss Yoko? Sorry I have never used it before, I don't know how strong the effect is."

[/color] Koatah made her way over to the young mistress to offering help of assurance in any way if it was needed, though from her demeanour it became clear that it wasn't. While close to her however a ringing sound caught the ears of the young genin, had someone else been caught by the genjutsu by accident, she wasn't sure. "did you hear that?" There was another technique she had observed her aunt teach, it was one that allowed the user to dissolve away into invisibility.

She wanted to be careful, she didn't want someone to come after her for accidentally attacking them so she wanted to hide and maybe have a quick look. Her mind drifted back as the sepia tone memory struck her once more. Her hand drifted onto the first seal, mimicking the signs she had seen her aunt weave, then following suite and as doing so she would let her chakra flair. The butterflies around her swilling and almost creating a little vortex as the form of Koatah would begin to go hazy.

Taking a few side steps her form would break up more, the pictures of butterflies on her skin, looking as if it was fighting to come off. With each step she took she became more of a haze until the first appearance of a butterfly. With that the blurred and hazy form that Koatah currently took on would begin to dissolve and break apart. Her hair first would change and turn into a swarm of white butterflies which would blend into her butterfly swarm. With every step she took, her form kept vanishing, dissolving away into the butterflies and while she was still physically there her appearance would slowly stop being there.

The dissolving continued, it wasn't as fast as her aunts but within a few seconds the whole form blew away, like sand on the wind, as an extra swarm of butterflies joined the ones she had already accompanying her. The little girl, now invisible would make her way around carefully as possible to see who spoke and who was impacted by her last genjutsu.

Kanna's ears twitched as she caught the sound of the girl's voice questioning something. Her place of hiding was in danger, and Kanna did not feel like explaining anything to anyone right now. She had to get moving or risk being found out completely, which may or may not lead to more trouble than she is interested in having at the moment. Coming to her senses, she'd watch as the little girl seemingly came under the effects of another butterfly themed jutsu.

This was enough to make Kanna pay attention to the details going on. Each second seemingly tailored to make that girl disappear from her sight.

"How annoying." she grumbled while quickly picking herself up off the ground. Her mind was not prepared for such things, which she couldn't tell if it was either another genjutsu or some other kind of thing. Either way she didn't want to effect her in anyway. Kanna wasn't going to allow this girl to go on and search her out. So in an effort to escape she'd make a run for it, using the rocks as cover the best she could while making a dash away from that area entirely. The green haired teen did not want any part of whatever that girl was planning. Fleeing to observe another day.

Though while she made her escape Kanna couldn't help, but feel a little bit of the past creeping in on her in the form of deja vu. Dwelling on that thought she could remember the scene a little better:

-Flashback training-

Back in Tsuchi no Kuni the young artist always had to make running escapes like this. Bad people were constantly looking for her. Almost as if it was a bad dream Kanna, could remember it all. The past replaying in her mind, as she pictured the towns around that old country. Before she escaped out into the more rural parts of the country, she used to live within city of Soseki. She caused trouble there all the time some years ago. It was only sometime around the ending months of last year that she managed to fully escape the place.

Back then luck was only occasionally on her side. Remembering the escapes she had to make brought a bitter sweet feeling upon herself. By now she'd have ran quite a distance away from where she once was. Her breathing only slightly becoming lighter as she began to take in more air to keep herself going. This is the same way things went back in Soseki. Eventually Kanna became slightly lost, and tired the further she went trying to make her way back to the ninja village. She'd come to a stop once she needed to rest, having depleted most of her stamina after minutes of running nonstop.

She panted and huffed desperately for air, while hunched over with her hands on her knees. This tended to happen a lot some years ago. And during this time either one of two things would happen. Something good or bad. There was one day that Kanna didn't manage to escape trouble. On that day she knew pain physically on a scale that would be remembered. Thugs of numerous numbers gave her a thrashing in an effort to make her pay some debt she owed some random gang leader. She was too tired to fight them that day. They left her bruised, and bloodied near a creek after they were done. She got off easy that time.

Her body at that point could only get stronger. Strong enough to endure thrashings and fight back. Kanna learned the hard way that day. She was only fourteen at the time. But that would be the same time she'd return to pay those thugs back in death...

She'd wreck havoc on them faster than they'd be able to imagine. She didn't need to run from them after that. That memory would stick with her forever as a lesson. A lesson for Kanna to continue to grow until she no longer has to run from anyone ever again...

-End Flashback training-

Remembering that scarred memory during her crime runs as Havoc gave her a sense of pride. She had forgotten how much it sucked to run away from something she couldn't handle. Its a dark thing to have to learn things that way. However...its almost comforting to know she survived. And so...Kanna would only seek to continue to get tougher over time. This ninja village, and the life it seeks to craft for her will not stand in her way. She will not run away from her destiny.
