Genjutsu
IF YOU CAST A ILLUSION ON SOMEONE YOU MUST STATE WHAT IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF THE ILLUSION!
Genjutsu (幻術; Literally meaning "Illusory Techniques") are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as ninjutsu, requiring chakra and hand seals. However, the primary difference between the two is that the effect of genjutsu is illusory, creating chakra imbalances in the victim's brain, causing a disruption in their senses.
Genjutsu is created when a ninja extends their chakra flow through the cerebral nervous system of their opponent to control their mind's chakra, thereby affecting their five senses.
Genjutsu Breaking
To combat the effects of genjutsu, there are two options:
The first option is for the ninja to stop the flow of chakra in their body, and then apply an even stronger power to disrupt the flow of the caster's chakra. This can also be done by an unaffected ninja. (This is "Kai" an actual ninjutsu technique demanding a GREAT deal of chakra control. Most genin can't do this) This also tends to damage the recipient. This is not automatic however, the better the Genjutsu user the harder it is to break it in this fashion.
The second option is for the affected ninja to hurt himself or herself, and then utilize the resulting pain to bring their senses back in order. If the pain is greater than the degree of control the ninja casting the illusion can manage, you'll break out. (Example: Someone like Itatchi would laugh if you stabbed yourself with a kunai in the arm to try to break it.)
That's all for now folks!
