Zetsume awoke today feeling a bad feeling. He had not been training as diligently as he should have been. Due to that it has effected his mind into a horrible state. He began to think of others who may come and try to hurt his village. He did not like this idea and it made him mad. So today he decided he would train on his genjutsu skills. He did not know how he was going to do it. Maybe he would find some villagers to use his genjutsu on. He let out a long needed stretch before finally getting dressed out of his sleeping clothes. He decided on eggs and pancakes for his breakfast of choice. He needed to make sure he had enough energy for the training. He was not going to let himself slip behind so easily. After he finished his food he decided he would have some fun. He walked out of his house locking the door, and started to look for potential victims for his genjutsu. Of course he would not hurt them by any means because they were like him, but it could be nice to play a prank or two on some people. He thought to himself of all the kinds of illusions he could produce. Some of them he could not use inside of the village for it could cause far to much trouble and noise. Which he needed to avoid getting into to much trouble. He knew he had to be on his best behavior for his family was looking down upon him. He never wanted to do anything that could bring shame to his families name. He held this above all, to be an honor thing of his. He has yet to bring dishonor to his family and did not want to start now. The streets of Kumogakure seemed to be rather busy today with kids and merchants and parents all running around trying to get their needs done. He laughed at some kids playing hide and seek with one another. He wondered if it is fair that a sensory could play this game rather well. He let out a small chuckle then zipped up his jacket while looking for people to use his genjutsu on. It was rather cold on this day of Kumogakure, he liked the cold more than being hot. When he was cold he could think much clearer and when he was hot he often became unstable and rash. It was one of those small ticks of his that he hated. While browsing the streets he came upon some new people he had never met before. After a small introduction he kept looking for other people to use it on. He knew that if he scared these people away it would only hurt his village and he did not know how they would react to his genjutsu. Some people may know it and just simply use Kai to get out, while other may try to attack the illusions. All of these ideas ran though his mind while looking through the crowds and crowds of people. It was unusually busy on this day. He hated being in the crowds of people, because he stood out like a sore thumb. After some searching he finally thinks he found the perfect person to use this jutsu on.

The person he decided to use his jutsu on was a small time thug. He made his life to pick on people just because his life was so shit. His name was Izura, he did not know his surname. He has failed the academy to many times that he finally gave up and now lives in a local food shop. He seemed to be living a rather shitty life, and even though his life is shitty he still needs to make people feel less than him. This guy was the perfect one to use this jutsu on. He could practice without feeling bad because this guy was indeed an asshole that no one really liked. So it would be nice to see him scared for a change. Zetsume leaned up against the wall while peeking through at him. He could not notice Zetsume because he was to busy picking on an old man. Zetsume already did not like the guy but why did he have to pick on someone obviously weaker. This was petty of this guy to do. It made him look pathetic, almost as though this old man was the only one he could pick on to make himself feel any bit better. Zetsume made an Animal Illusion of a wolf behind him. He made the wolf howl and watched as the man stumbled back from being startled. Zetsume made a small chuckle as he made more appear before the mans eyes. This worried the man named Izura. He did not know what was going on and was swatting at the illusions as if they were to disappear. Though each time he made a swing at them Zetsume made the wolves jump out of the way. Eventually the man began to run in a state of panic down the streets knocking people over while running away from the illusions. Zetsume dispelled the jutsu but the man kept running for his life as though he was about to be eaten asking people to help him. Though no one liked him so everyone ignored him, plus there was nothing there when people actually looked. Zetsume came out of the corner and talked to the old man telling him that if he bothers him again that he should just find Zetsume so he can practice his genjutsu on him. The old man let out a chuckle and thanked him for helping him from that annoying pest. Zetsume gave a small bow before looking for his next target. He could not find this target as simple as the rest for not everyone in this village was a complete asshole. Though he did have some in mind. After checking their usual spots he noticed that none of them were there at this time and this made Zetsume worry that he would not get to train his genjutsu as much as he wanted. Though this did not slow him down from looking for people. After about half an hour of searching he finally thinks he found another person to use it on.

The next person he was going to practice his genjutsu on seemed to be a rather old kid to be in the academy. He was picking on people of less size than he was, just to feel superior. Zetsume always hated this because it brought back memories of when he was in the academy, and how his old childhood friend was being picked on just like this. The other kid seemed to be rather large though so the bully kid felt much stronger than he was. Zetsume pondered awhile to think if he should really use a genjutsu on him. It would only be for mere entertainment purposes anyways and some slight training involved. He hopped onto a tree so he could get a better view of what exactly was going on down below. He did not like it one bit. The bull kid was hitting the other kid on the ground not even giving him a chance to get up and fight back. He just kept hitting and hitting and it seemed that their sensei was no where to be found. Zetsume took it into his own hands to help this poor kid out. He used once again an Animal Illusion technique on the Bully kid. He watched from above as the kid heard a loud growl from his back. Zetsume figured that if he saw a bear he would be scared enough to shit himself. The kid instantly stopped hitting the boy to turn around. From where he was standing the bear was only 1 foot away from him roaring load. The kid let out a small shriek, he was also screaming for help. While the kid on the ground had no idea what was exactly happening. For to him it just seemed the bully was just screaming for no reason. He got up and brushed himself off. Eventually the bully kid got a hold of a sensei and warned him that there was a bear chasing him and that everyone should run for their lives. When the sensei went to check it out there was no bear to be found because Zetsume had already released him from the genjutsu. The teacher also used Kai thinking that the kid must have fallen under a genjutsu from another student. It made the bully feel better. Zetsume jumped down from the tree and told the teacher what he saw about the kid beating on the other kid. The teacher told Zetsume to not use such jutsus on academy kids but Zetsume was not really listening. He went to check on the rather chubby kid to make sure he was alright. He whipped the tears from his eyes and told him that if he ever needed help again to find him. The kid thanked him. The bully did not receive any punishment because he had already been humiliated for pissing himself when he saw the bear. This made both Zetsume and the large kid laugh out loud. Though it was rude to laugh at other people's suffering, Zetsume felt that it was needed due to what he did to the other kid. Zetsume left the academy to look for another potential person to use his genjutsu on.

It took some time before he finally found his next target to torment. This one was of what appeared to be a fifteen year old girl yelling at her parents to buy her something. All of the things that she wanted were just stupid. One of which was just a small stuffed animal that in due time she would just discard and have wasted the money all together. Yet, she would still beg and beg for more and more things to the point she was basically screaming at them and demanding that they buy it. It seemed they lacked the same parental guide that Zetsume's parents had. If he ever yelled at them the way she did he would have been beaten and lucky to be eating something that is not through a straw. It seemed that her parents really did not care what she was saying or how she was saying it. Though this kind of disrespect did not go well with Zetsume. I do not think they would mind, he thought to himself while he thought of which jutsu to use on her. He only had a few of them and one could only be used with his bow. This made it hard for him to choose then he knew exactly what to do. He used his Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique) on her. He showed her visions of her parents being slaughtered by hundreds of arrows. She fell back in horror as her parents were being punctured by what seemed like an infinite number of arrows. She was in to much shock to say anything but screams. To her parents she had just seemed to fallen over and was screaming for no reason. To her it was gruesome and horrific. Zetsume made sure of that. Then the blood began to run to her feed and on her hands. The blood of her parents soaking through her, engulfing her. She had no idea what was going on but kept screaming and crying. She made quite a scene in the middle of the streets and the parents were worried about her. After a minute he released her. She was shaking by this point, but then stopped when she saw her parents were actually okay. She instantly hugged them and said sorry for all the things she has put them through. This seemed to shock the mother and father. They did not expect this from her but here she was saying things they did not expect. Zetsume felt like a secret helper though all of the things he has done today. Though some of it was unorthodox he knew that it would probably help them in the end case. Zetsume made his way back to his house, after a long day of using his jutsus on random people to try and help. He felt better than he did when he woke up and felt slightly stronger. He laid down on his bed and reflected on the day. He only seemed to help three people today but it was enough for him to smile. After closing his eyes he slept soundly through the night.
