The Genjutsu Devil of Konoha

"That is a big jump in bounty..." he said, a bit surprised. He expected a leap, but still.

"You made all of their ninja, including Jounin, fight and kill each other," Tsunade would explain.

Well yeah, that would explain him jumping from C-rank to A. He posed a far greater threat than the average Jounin, as you were not going to find the average Jounin doing some shit like that.

He had a thoughtful look.

"Maybe I should have gone with Lady Chiyo," he said, quite thoughtful.

"Your issue is that you think too much. You didn't pass out because you ran out of chakra—you passed out because your brain ran out of computing power," Tsunade would add.

Seijuro would look at her.

"I do realize that. However, I simply wish for my Genjutsu to feel the same as real life. Such tedious tasks, as you said, while seemingly insignificant, help in that aspect," he would say, his voice oddly calm.

Tsunade would have a thoughtful expression.

"Ever thought of making a template?"

He looked at her as if to ask her to elaborate further or clarify her point.

"Your clan Kekkei Genkai gives you complete control over someone's senses, which gives you a complete leg up over all Genjutsu users. However, with such a gift, you still go out of your way to look for details that your Kekkei Genkai already handles."

"What about, instead of focusing on that, you focus on the main compartment instead? You make a template—i.e., you make the Genjutsu of the area. However, instead of you inputting all those minor details, they get added later on. You have full control over their senses, so what about tricking them into thinking the Genjutsu is reality? Since the human is quite literally coded to find some sort of logic in everything, you let them fill out the minor stuff."

Seijuro seemed to be quite thoughtful.

"That is surprisingly intellectual of you, Sensei."

"The hell you mean by that?" Her temper flared once more as she felt like her student was calling her dumb.

"I am merely praising Sensei's intellectual prowess," he would say with a gentle smile. He was not trying to get pounded right now.

He seemed quite thoughtful.

"I could try this in our next battle with the Sand," he said with a thoughtful look.

She smiled at him.

"Atta boy."

Seijuro merely gave her a gentle smile.

He then looked at his sensei before saying,

"Sensei, may I please see the info Konoha possesses on Lady Chiyo and the Third Kazekage?"

Tsunade didn't ask many questions. She simply went through her file—she had a lot—and took the info for those two people.

And for anyone wondering why she would share such info with Seijuro: the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release was quite a known topic for anyone in Konoha that was Jounin or above. Even some Chunin knew it—bet, even some Genin knew of it.

Most Kage powers or abilities/famous techniques were quite known, so sharing that much info wouldn't be a security leak.

Plus, Seijuro was her student, and if he found a way to counter them, she could take some credit for it. Hehehe, best sensei ever.

🔶 Subject: Chiyo of the Sand

Affiliation: Sunagakure no Sato

Rank: Elite Jōnin / Senior Advisor

Alias(es):

Chiyo-baasama

Scorpion Queen

Suna's Venom Mistress

📌 Profile Summary:

Chiyo is one of Sunagakure's most feared veterans, acting as the leading authority on Puppetry Techniques and the developer of many of the Hidden Sand's poison-based warfare tactics. She is the matriarch of the Puppeteer Corps and mentor to many prodigies.

🧠 Intelligence Analysis:

🕷️ Core Fighting Style – Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique):

Master of multiple puppet manipulation via chakra threads.

Often uses poisoned blades, traps, and gas from within her puppets.

Main puppet during the Second Shinobi War: Father and Mother (prototypes of her later techniques).

🧪 Poison Expertise:

Poisons are fast-acting, paralytic or hemorrhagic in nature.

Special note: Chiyo can apply chakra-sensitive toxins—even affecting summoned beasts or chakra-based entities.

Developed antidotes that neutralize most known poison types—excluding her own latest variants.

💀 Reputation in Battle:

Known for ambushing medics and command units using stealth puppets.

Personally credited with killing over 40 high-ranking enemy shinobi, including several Konoha Jōnin.

❗️Countermeasure Notes:

Wind Release techniques that create vacuums or deflect needles are recommended.

Genjutsu is less effective—Chiyo is trained in anti-illusion warfare.

Physical separation of puppets from her body breaks the connection.

Earth Style barriers are useful for blocking line of sight or intercepting puppets.

DO NOT TOUCH WOUNDED AREAS—her poisons can linger in air and flesh.

🧬 Medical Note (from Tsunade):

"She's a damn genius. A bitter, old genius. Her toxins mutate upon contact with other substances. If you're not dead in five minutes, you're paralyzed. If you're not paralyzed, you're tripping on your own blood."

🔷 Subject: Third Kazekage

Affiliation: Sunagakure no Sato

Rank: Third Kazekage

Status: Alive

Alias(es):

The Iron Tempest

Magnet Release Pioneer

Most Powerful Kazekage (recorded)

📌 Profile Summary:

The Third Kazekage was known across all Five Great Nations as the strongest shinobi in the history of the Sand Village.

⚙️ Core Kekkei Genkai – Jiton (Magnet Release):

A fusion of Wind and Earth Chakra, Jiton allows him to manipulate magnetic fields. The Third refined this into control over Iron Sand—a technique said to surpass even the Second Kazekage's gold dust manipulation.

🧲 Signature Technique – Satetsu (Iron Sand):

Able to control a massive field of Iron Sand particles with extreme precision.

Can compress the sand into needles, axes, hammers, shields, and swarms of microparticles.

Can jam mechanical systems—like puppet joints or ninja tool scrolls.

Iron Sand is coated with toxins in some versions, rendering wounds lethal.

🧠 Intelligence Analysis:

Unlike most Kage, he operated on the frontlines.

Known to use Satetsu Kesshū (Iron Sand Gathering Assault) and Satetsu Kaihō (World Order)—the latter spreads particles like landmines across a battlefield.

Combining defense, offense, and support with one technique made him a one-man army.

Strong sensor and counter-sensor abilities—Earth Chakra used for vibration detection.

Seijuro looked at this.

His mind was already working on a counter.

"Magnet Release... Jiton. A dual-nature Kekkei Genkai, Earth and Wind."

He paused for a second.

"Not magnetic in the literal sense. More like chakra-infused polarity—allowing the user to control iron-based materials through chakra flow... a type of chakra-augmented electromagnetic manipulation. Sophisticated."

Tsunade watched her student think... was he trying to find a way to make Magnet Release obsolete?

"Iron Sand specifically... highly conductive. That explains its fluidity—like water one moment, a wall the next. It's not brute force. It's precision. He didn't just throw sand—he restructured terrain, weaponized particles, and shut down chakra tool usage."

"To counter it... I need disruption.

Lightning Chakra can destabilize magnetic fields—but not for long.

Water conducts chakra too well—risk of feedback.

Wind has range... but too light to resist iron compression.

Earth is ironically perfect. It's dense, immovable, and can anchor targets. Create a grounded field. If I can manipulate chakra flow through earth veins, I could forcibly dissipate the magnetic control... like grounding a lightning rod."

He sketches rapidly—three Earth Pillars encircling a user, funneling magnetic flow into the ground.

"I need to experience it firsthand," he muttered to himself. He then gazed at Tsunade.

"I request to simply use some of my PTO to train my body for our next confrontation," he said humbly.

"Request granted," Tsunade added. Yes, this was favoritism. Bite her.

A/N paid time off...pto
