- Jutsu Being Trained:
Name: Shake
Rank: D-Rank
Type: Genjutsu
Used For: All
Element: N/A
Range: Targets Sight
Duration: 1 Post
Hand Seals/Charge up: Must be controlling Puppets
Description: The trigger of this Genjutsu is when one looks at Kotaro's hands when he is controlling his puppets or is using chakra threads. Kotaro of course must be aware the persons eyes looking at his hands. When he activates the illusion the target(s) vision will begin to violent shake making it hard for them to focus or move straight until the Genjutsu is cancelled by Kotaro, dispelled via Kai, or one post passes.
Weakness: The opponent must look at Kotaro's hands for one, but while being in a battle against a puppeteer one would more than likely be looking at the puppets. He must key onto them looking fast enough to activate the jutsu, though it only takes a small amount of time to do so. If a person is far away Kotaro also may not be able to pick up on the person looking at his hands.
Name: Murderous Intent
Rank: D-Rank
Type: Genjutsu
Used For: All
Element: N/A
Range: 10m
Duration: Instant, activates with a 1 post delay.
Hand Seals/Charge up: Horse->Ox->Serpent
Description: After completion of handseals a wave of chakra is sent in a 10m radius around Kotaro. Once this wave of chakra touches a person, friend or foe they will be effected by this Genjutsu, but its effect is delayed. After one post the target will then be overcome with the feeling that a threat is approaching them from the back. If they look, they will be welcomed with the sight of a shinobi dressed in all black lunging with a sword ready to slice them. Of course this does no real damage to the target.
Weakness: Since the Genjutsu has a delay, if sensory shinobi are present and can alert their allies they are under genjutsu, they can be freed before it activates. Same if an enemy has a doujutsu that sees chakra.
Name: Spawn
Rank: D-Rank
Type: Genjutsu and Fuinjutsu
Used For: All
Element: N/A
Range: Upon contact with a seal then activation.
Duration: 1 post
Hand Seals/Charge up: Placement of seal. Then Half Ram or verbal command.
Description: After choosing a desired seal on sealing paper, another sheet marker however the user wishes is placed on top of it. Forming the half ram handseal, the extra seal is imbued with a Genjutsu that can be spread to 3 people before it loses its contagious abilities.
Once a person comes in contact with the rigged paper and the user activates the jutsu, all objects and beings they see will have a doppelganger beside them, some to the left and some to the right no matter what angle to person looks at it. Copies of the same beings will not interlace with each other, but separate objects copies can be interwoven with others, making the universe much more chaotic for the duration of the Genjutsu.
Weakness: If one changes the angle from which they look at an object, since the copies are always beside the original, they can notice if a normally stationary object rotates.
Name: Smoke Storm
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For:All
Element:N/A
Range: 15m cloud in front of the user
Duration: Cloud lingers for 2 post, each post it gets thinner.
Hand Seals/Charge up: Horse-> Ox->Tiger->Dog
Description: After taking a drag from his pipe Ryu, Kotaro uses chakra to further increase the amount of smoke and ash upon exhaling, the ashes, smoke, and substances being smoked spread over a 15m area. This causes irritation to eyes, lungs of non-smokers, and blocks vision along with the irritated eyes. The smoke also lingers on clothes and stuff, even after the cloud goes away, cause dats how smoke works.
Weakness: Wind Element Jutsu with a large enough range can dispel the jutsu and cloud. As can Water as seen in Canon.
It had been a while since Kotaro had been out of his house alone, but then to be out to do a mission was really quite the sight. Usually he was comfortable just working on his mechanisms, but he knew he couldn't always rely on his puppets. Not only that, but he needed to get some missions under his belt if he wanted to prove to his new sensei he was a worthy student. Truth be told Kotaro was too comfortable sitting at the rank of a Genin at his age, at least if he was this age as a Genin he should have had more missions completed on his ninja profile to show for it, but he didn't. For anyone that looked hat his ninja info card that would surely get the impression of the teen being a slacker, but that image was about to be destroyed.
With a new teacher came not only a new mind set, but a new fire, Kotaro was truly burning with vigor and was ready to show Iwagakure that he had awoken as he was ready to serve his village. Though he wishes he could be thrown into the fire, so he could really test his might and show the people of the hidden village what he was made of, that was an unrealistic wish and also a wish that didn't require diligence. If he wanted to prove to these people he was a worthy shinobi, he would have to start off like most legends did, by doing grunt work and task typically not wanted.
Today one of his task would revolve around him protecting and escorting to highly valued citizens of the village hidden in the stone. One man a noble of the village whose blood traced back to the founders of this village. Sadly he was receiving threats from some locals and he was feeling quite threatened. This of course is where Kotaro comes in and escorts him around to his home. His second task luckily was right around the same corner. This being escort the child of a rich business owner to his home that was on the other side of the village. Who would have guessed that the noble and the rich child lived in the same district? Kotaro was truly happy when he found this out, because not only would he get two missions knocked out in one, but he would also get paid twice in one trip, as long as he kept one safe until he got home and just got the other home.
Walking down the street with both people on his sides, Kotaro also had his puppet Koga tailing closely, literally right behind them in disguise as a human thanks to the substitution jutsu. His hands steady moving to keep the puppet tailing, his eyes were also steady scanning for any fishy looking fellows that could be the people threatening the noble. "If you see the people threatening you, let me know alright?" Kotaro turned to face the elderly man who nodded to him and was steady looking around as well. The child on the other and was walking without a care in the world and was eying anything that looked interesting to him.
Weird enough, during the whole trip to the business owners house to drop off the child, none of the people threatening the noble were seen. Not even one or two shady characters. Kotaro knew better to let his guard down just because of that, but he still felt this was fairly awkward. The noble on the other hand seemed to see this as a blessing as was enjoying the rest of the walk. Kotaro was a little pleased that the man was getting comfortable, but wished the noble had stayed engaged in the situation, so he could alert Kotaro if the predators were near or in sight. Just as the thought came, the duo arrived to the nobles home. "Eh that's weird . . . You sure people were threatening you old geezer?" The man turned to Kotaro and shrugged. "I had thought so . . . hmm maybe I forgot to take my pills or something . . . oh well, thank you for escorting me." As the man began to walk towards his house, three men stepped out of it. "Ahhh there he is . . ." The man took no time to back step and get behind Kotaro. "Ahh I guess I was right, that's them alright!"
"You hired a kid to protect you? That's amusing, just do us a favor and move out the way kid." Kotaro shook his head denying the predators access to the noble. "Sorry I can't do that. How about you guys run off instead. Pick on someone a bit younger, you know that can actually retaliate." Stepping up to Kotaro maybe about 1m away with his three cohorts behind him he laughed obnoxiously. And who's this behind you? Your daddy come to escort you on your mission?" The man was referring to Koga who was disguised as a human and it seemed to be effective. "Yeah, matter fact . . ." Using his chakra threads he whipped Koga around in front of him in a combat ready stance. "Let me show you what my dad is capable of." The teen knew he couldn't kill any of these guys, but incapacitating wasn't out of the loop.
Looking at Kotaro's hands the man saw the chakra threads and shook his head slowly. "Your dad let you play with dolls boy? Bwahaha!" Just as the mans eyes were about to shift back up, Kotaro coined onto the direction the mans eyes were looking. As he would look back up the ruffian would then find his field of vision shaking violently making it even hard for him to stand. Then as he went to step back eyes wide in shock, he fell down to the ground. "Geez I didn't even get to fight you yet and you're already falling around?" Kotaro wasn't well versed in Genjutsu, but after seeing his sensei Garuda execute one on the mission they had went on he figured he would study up on it and actually practice some of his own. This particular one being triggered when an enemy looked at Kotaro's hands while he was controlling puppets. With chaka already coursing throughout his hands from the chakra threads, it was only a matter of sending the wave to the beholders brain, which in turn made their eye sight bug out.
Now with two offenders left Kotaro took his time, for he hadn't prepared himself to properly use this Genjutsu. But seeing as this was a great time to practice and would do his best to prep it now. "So with your boss down, I'd expect you two to start high tailing it out of here . . . yes or no?" The teen was digging in the depths of his cloak and withdrew a single sealing tag and drew a seal on it using his Sticky Ink technique. The two grunts seemed shocked, but neither budged, so Kotaro figured they would stay and give him so test dummies. "Alright then, cool, I could use some practice." With a flick of his wrist and a bit of chakra the sealing paper was hardened and tossed quickly towards the man previously afflicted by a Genjutsu. Upon contact on the mans chest, Kotaro would announce. "Spawn." In that instance the mans eyes would widen again as along with his shaking vision, now everything he saw had duplicates beside them. "Ugh, I- I . . . take this thing off my please!" The man grabbed at his chest, but couldn't grab the seal, so one of the men took it upon themselves to assist. It made Kotaro grin as he uttered the word once more. "Spawn . . ." This induced the same effects on that dummy as well and one could see it some his expression.
"Hmm . . . these guys just seem like a bunch of clowns to me, so I'm pretty sure you can head home while I finish things up out here. Kotaro turned to the noble shaking his head in a disappointed fashion and the man nodded and carefully walked around the ruffians before going into his home. As the Genin heard the door close shut, he then paces through a small set of handseals that ended in the Serpent seal. Unknowingly to the targets an undetectable wave of chakra had overcame their body and if all went as planned they would be effected by another Genjutsu by Kotaro, but this one would have a lag time before activating. "Are you guys gonna even fight back . . . I feel like I'm kinda abusing you guys geez throw a punch or something." Almost just as it was said the only sane hooligan pulled out a pocket knife and also slid on a shady grin. "Woah, now you're going a little too far man, put that away yeah?" Kotaro backed up a bit and kept Koga close in front of him ready to subdue the man. It's not like he was truly afraid of the knife anyhow, more so afraid of what his retaliation would be. "Brats like you gotta learn the hard way kid, so stay quiet and just bleed out nice and easy." "Eh, he's really thinking about killing me . . . idiot." His hands fluttered in the empty space in front of him making his puppet shift faster than the man could hope to follow. Before he knew it he was in Koga's bind and had no way out as the mechanical being locked itself into place. "About ten more seconds before the Genjutsu hits him . . . just enough time." Kotaro then hopped bak and released his control over Koga, making the puppets weight slump down and bring the man into a forced kneeled position. "Hey get this guy off of me!" Kotaro simply ignored the fool as he withdrew a new tool, Ryu. It was simple wooden pipe, but modified with a seal at the bottom so the teen didn't have to trouble himself with a lighter.
Moving through four hand seals, he held the last one before placing his index finger at the bottom of the bulb where the seal was. Heating the substance then inhaling, one could see his chest inflate as he took in the smoke and ash, then upon exhalation into the air, a large volume of the pollution was spread into the area of the three men. Not only was the smog thick, but it was lightly heated and it would cloud the lungs of the men and make their eyes water painfully. Coughing a bit after exhalation he put the pipe away and spit into the dirt getting the taste out his mouth. The connecting his chakra threads to Koga he recalled the puppet hearing the men coughing, then as timed his Genjutsu would come into effect while they were having a coughing fit. Suddenly their skin would crawl and the feeling of death approaching from behind would overcome them. If they turned to see what the cause of this feeling one, the only answer would be a ninja clothed in all black lunged at them with a katana ready to end their lives. This all being an illusion of course wouldn't cause any real harm to the men physically, but more so their mental would be a little shaken. "I'm gonna assume you g-" he stopped as a yell made his words inaudible. "Ok, I'm gonna assume you guys ge-" Then another. Waiting a small moment, Kotaro expected another holler to emerge, but it seemed they were done. "Ok . . . I assume you guys get the poi-" One more behind scheduled yelp filled the atmosphere and before Kotaro knew it people were crowding to see what was going on. "Ok fuck it, they find out if the mess with he geezer again." Unraveling his Koi Scroll that was on the back of his hip, he made a single handseal and Koga was recalled into the depths of the scroll and Kotaro left the scene with a small amount of eyes on him.
