Sweet Illusions (Training)

[adasuke]

On most mundane, boring days such as this one, young Yoru Renka found himself wishing for some activity. He wanted something to keep himself busy, something entertaining and interesting that could occupyat least a few minutes of his idle time. He sat on an empty overturned crate and watched the people walk by, going about their usual everyday monotony and sighed. That is, until his eyes fell upon a frazzled old man stumbling through the light crowd, glancing this way and that. Interested, Yoru leaned forward and studied this man from a few yards away. The man kept mumbling to himself, and glancing skyward. Perhaps a religious type.
Yoru grinned to himself and decided to have a little fun with this one, as well as train a jutsu he had been meaning to learn for a while now.

Sasayaki no Jutsu (Whisper Technique)
Rank: “D” Rank
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Creates a whispering voice in the target’s mind, that only they can hear.
Special: “Hand Seals”- Tiger, Horse, holding the Ram seal
Drawback: The user must hold the Ram seal for the voice to be continuously projected towards the target.
Description: The user performs the handseals, ending with the Ram seal and holding it. This projects chakra towards the opponent, stimulating the part of the opponent’s brain that translates the messages sent from the ear drum into actual voices. What this can do is create a whispering voice in the opponent’s mind, with the user choosing what is being whispered into it.
Limit: Universal Genjutsu

Yoru knew the handseal sequence well. It was only three, in simple succession. He flashed the handseals casually, keeping his eyes locked on this man for focus.
Tiger...Horse...Ram...
Holding the Ram handseal, Yoru broguth his mind to a clear focus, shutting out all around him except the man, stumbling and fidgeting his way slowly through the crowd. At first, yoru mistook this jutsu for a Sound jutsu, and cleared his throat slightly before whispering the word "hey..". Nothing happened. Puzzled, Yoru reflected back on the book in which he had first seen this jutsu. He sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes at his own carelessness.
It's a genjutsu, silly! There's no speaking involved.


The former Sound Ninja took a deep breath and redid the handseals, not taking his eyes off his target. As with before, Yoru focused his mind on simply theman and only the man. He envisioned a tube connecting himself and the man, obscuring all else outside of the cylinder. Faing black shadows of other pedestrians passed in front of Yoru's vision, but his focus remained fixated on the stumbling old man. Yoru kept the focus, but formed a word in the back of his mind. This one word: "You" was then shoved forward, directed at the man. Almost instantly, the man stiffened, stopping in his tracks. He glanced around frantically, trying to see who had spoken to him. Yoru smirked to himself, keeping his attention on his target. So far so good.
"Do not draw attention to yourself." Yoru spoke into the man's mind. "No one else can hear me. I've...chosen you my son."

The man's eyes widened in reverence. He dropped to his knees and looked skyward, mumbling to himself again. From that range, Yoru couldn't make out what he was saying but it didn't matter.
"Yes, I've chosen you. But i need to know that you are worthy my son. Listen closely."

Yoru instructed the man to steal four oranges from the nearest fruit market, and an apple, then stand in the middle of town square in his underwear and juggle the fruit while singing his alphabet backwards. At first the man was skeptical, which was to be expected. Yoru as a result, focused more chakra into the genjutsu, projecting his mental voice and making it seem louder. He yelled into the man's mind, trying to establish some deitic authority, and it worked. Tha man, basically petrified at the thought of his god's wrath, made haste. Needless to say, Yoru watched with great interest as the man did exactly as he was told.

Continuing his attempt to entertain himself, Yoru found another guinnea pig later in the day. it was a young boy, obviously not a ninja, which would make this easier. The boy was a pickpocket, or at least trying to be one. He wasn't very good, as several of his potentail victims caught him almost immediately. Yoru admired the boy's tenacity, and followed him, keeping a few people between himself and the boy so as not to be spotted. Yoru followed the boy for a while, parading around the busy Thunder City Capital, laughing to himself at the boy's pitiful attempts at gaining some loot. Finally, he decided to help the poor kid.

Yoru quickly flashed the handseals and held the ram, low so as not to alert anyone else in the crowd. As with before, Yoru imagined a tunnel, obscuring everything else from his vision except the boy, keeping his focus locked. Yoru took a deep breath and with the image of the boy locked in his vision, projected the words "Hey kid!" into his mind. The boy instantly looked around, one eyebrow raised in curiosity. So far so good. The boy kept glancing about, trying to see who was talking.
"It's no use, I'm speaking directly into your head. Don't worry, no one else can hear me."

The boy snorted mockingly, obviously not believing. Yoru saw him mouth the words "yeah right" and smirked.

"I've been watching you, and I think I can help you improve your skills. You're not a very good pickpocket, kid."

Now, he had the boy's attention. He stiffened, but kept walking,, aware that someone was watching him and speaking to him unheard by everyone else finally. Yoru smiled. This was the first time he had used the jutsu while moving, and it seemed to be working. That is, until a larger man in the crowd nudged him and nocked loose the Ram handseal. Yoru sucked his teeth in distaste and redid the handseals. His focus wavered only slightly.

"Now listen to me. You see the man with the purple jacket?"

The boy glanced around for a second, then caught sight of the small but rich-looking man Yoru was speaking of. The boy nodded briskly in affirmation.

"Good. Now make your way towards him, but don't attract any unnecessary attention. take your time."

Yoru watched the boy snake his way through the crowd with the agility only a child could possess. Yoru was not far behind, but still kept enough a distance so as not to be noticed. He kept the boy in his sights at all times, focusing on him so as to not have to redo the jutsu again. When the boy was close enough to reach out and touch the purple jacketed man, Yoru spoke again.

"Good. Now notice the Ryo pouch tied to the left side of his waist. Make your way to this man's left, and await further instruction."

The boy didn't act, but tilted his head oddly. he mouthed the word "what?" as if to ask Yoru to repeat himself. He did, but the boy still apparently didn't understand. Then Yoru noticed the boy rubbing his ear, as if he couldn't hear correctly. Yoru guessed that the jutsu must have dimmed somehow, and sighed, pushing more chakra outward towards the boy. He repeated himself again, and this time the boy nodded and did as he was instructed. Excellent.
Yoru then walked the boy through a clean pickpocket job, sparing no detail. he made sure to stress quickness and a light touch. When it was all over, the boy was left with a nice pouch full of Ryo and a happy face. Yoru smiled with the boy, and instructed him to wait by a particular store for further instructions.

A few minutes later, Yoru emerged from the crowd in front of the store, smiling at the boy. He redid the handseals and projected the word "Hi." into the boy's mind. The boy laughed and thanked Yoru for the lesson.
"No problem." Yoru assured the boy. "Always glad to help. I'll be around if you need anything else. Have fun, kid."

With that, Yoru left, waving off the boy's continued thanks.
