Genbu's eyes were fixed upon Seito's, trying to keep his composure as the pain pulsed throughout his body, both agonizing and enduring. The slight movement to make his deduction had amplified the pain seemingly tenfold. Just as Genbu's composure was about to break, he watched as Seito's eyes widened as his explanition reached Seito's ears. By Seito's reation, Genbu knew he was right about the genjutsu. He had made quite the gamble, as the pain was becoming quite unbearable. He tried to keep his face as stoic as possible, he could not let Seito know how close he was to having broken him. Genbu knew pain, he relished in it, but this was something even he could not withstand for much longer. He continued to stare into Seito's eyes, realizing Seito was probably toying with him at this point.
"Well, I will admit that you are indeed, the clever one." Seito said with a slow applause. It seemed overly confident, but at this point, he probably did have the upper hand. "It certainly does take a special one to have been able to deduce the situation," Seito said as he continued to speak. "You do know your way around a genjutsu. But, one's assessment of understanding genjutsu is being able to perceive what is real and what is not", Seito proclaimed. Genbu knew Seito wasn't done with him. He knew he had to save his kai as Seito would proabably try to get him in another genjutsu. He knew Setio must have more tricks up his sleeve. This time he would be more prepared for his trickey, or at least as prepared as one could be with the pain like Genbu was feeling. "One has to be confident of the genjutsu because if not, then one may waste precious chakra attempting to break a genjutsu that is not applied or, one may perceive ninjutsu to be genjutsu and face real physical effects," Seito said smugly. Seito spoke out again, "I know how you react to pain, but how do you react to fear?" as his smile turned into a smug smirk. Genbu knew something was coming. His training partner had given him a warning of what was to come. "Is he going to try another genjutsu or ninjutsu this time?" Genbu thought to himself. "Either way, I will figure this out"
Seito moved his hands and began to form several hand seals. "This is it," Genbu thought to himself. As Seito completed his seals, the grass around the two men began to rip from the ground violently, swirling through the air. Blades of grass continued to swirl around Genbu with violent force, causing him to lose focus on Seito. His feet remained planted firm, but he was forced to shield his eyes from the grass and dirt being flung around about him. The debris was so bad it forced him to temporarily close his eyes, to avoid being blinded by the sharp blades of grass or rocks flying about. As the storm subsided, what he saw before him truly rattled him to his core. The tree was gone. The patch of grass was bare. A body was strewn in front of him, with a man he did not recognize standing behind the body.
Genbu stood frozen at the sight before him. He wanted to move, but he couldn't. The pain had over taken him. His body would not listen to him. It had betrayed him when he needed it most. The sight before him was one he could never fathom. It was Lady Mizukage's body strewn about the ground before him, beaten to death, lying in a pool of her own blood. A mysterious shinobi in a mask stood behind her staring at him with glowing red eyes. The shinbi lifted his hands, pointed at Genbu, and spoke haunting words. "She trusted you!You were supposed to protect her! You failed her! You do not deserve the title of Shinobi! YOU ARE A FAILURE!" proclaimed the mysterious shinobi. The sheer trauma of what he was experiencing caused his legs to give out from underneath him. He fell to his hands and knees, preparing for what was to come. "How could this happen!?" he thought to himself. "Maybe I am a failure," he pondered sadly. "Maybe I'm really not worth of being called a shinobi. What kind of weak shinobi lets his Kage die on his watch!?" he thought. Genbu pulled out a kunai from underneath his cloak, with the intention of having at least some honor in this moment. He didn't have a tanto at the time so he figured his trusted kunai would have to do. He sat himself upright and faced the mysterious figure before him. He thought about the finality of what he was about to do.
His life flashed before him. He remembered growing up, he remembered the experiments. He remembered getting his headband. He remembered the good times he had with his friends. He remembered training under the tree with Seito; then all his memories turned blank. Nothing. He didn't remember anything. He couldn't remember how he had gotten to this point. "How did Lady Mizukage die? Who killed her? Why didn't they just kill me too?" he asked himself. At that moment it hit him, he must be under another genjutsu. Quite a good genjutsu at that. "Damn that Seito, he got me again," he thought to himself angrily. He figured since he was still under the jutsu, he would at least toy with Seito for putting him under yet another of his god damn jutsu. Genbu looked the mysterious figure in the eyes solemly and spoke. "You're right. I do not deserve to live. I have failed as a shinobi." Genbu closed his eyes. He lifted the kunai with both hands above his head and plunged it towards his abdomen. He stopped just short of making contact. "Kai", spoke Genbu softly. He opened his eyes to the sight of Seito, tanto drawn, staring back at him. The pain was gone. The gruesome sight was no more. He was free.
WC: 1033
CP: 70/110
- Genjutsu Kai:
Name: Genjutsu Dissipation (幻術解 ~ Genjutsu Kai)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Defensive/Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Self.
Specialty: Genjutsu.
Duration: Instantaneous.
Cooldown: 4 posts.
Description:A technique taught at the Ninja Academy requiring chakra control. By using Kai, a ninja disrupts their own flow of chakra, then starts it again. This allows a ninja to escape from illusions, provided he or she has figured out that a Genjutsu is active. Ninja can use this ability on their comrades to save them from genjutsu, and possibly other techniques that invade their chakra system. It is possible for this technique to fail, if the user misjudges the power of the genjutsu and does not put in enough chakra to stop their chakra flow.
This is an E-ranked technique, but has variable chakra costs.
- Genin: 20 chakra for a D-ranked Genjutsu, 40 for C. Genin cannot dispel B-ranked Genjutsu.
- Chuunin: 30 chakra for a C-ranked Genjutsu, 50 for B. Chuunin cannot dispel A-ranked Genjutsu.
- Special Jounin: 40 chakra for a B-ranked Genjutsu, 60 for A. Toku-Jou cannot dispel S-ranked Genjutsu.
- Jounin: 50 chakra for an A-ranked Genjutsu, 70 for S. Jounin cannot dispel SS-ranked Genjutsu.
- Sannin/Kage: 60 chakra for an S-ranked Genjutsu, 90 for SS. Only Genjutsu that specifically say that they cannot be Dissipated (such as Tsukuyomi) are the exception.
~Kai can dispel multiple genjutsu at once, but only on the user or another person, not both. The highest-rank genjutsu costs the normal amount to Dissipate, then the second costs the normal amount -5, the third -10, and so on. So, if a genin was caught under a C-rank and two D-rank genjutsu, it would cost 40 chakra to dispel the C-rank jutsu, 15 to dispel the first D-rank, and 10 to dispel the second D-rank.
