>>5791819You would go on to wonder if Shigure-Sensei trapped all of you in the same, identical genjutsu simultaneously, or if he trapped each of you in a personalized one at slightly different times during his presentation. You assume the latter.
Nobody really wanted to talk about it so you’re left wondering.
>+0.5 Genjutsu—
Juro-Sensei lets you lead ninjutsu class every Tuesday because you’re clearly good enough at it that you can teach the others a thing or two. At this point you’re aware that Daigo has been practicing some kind of fire release and Masami was just generically up to par, but the others were lagging. They didn’t grasp even the basics of how to connect with their spiritual energy, let alone how there was spiritual energy ambient in the world around them.
Juro-Sensei teaches you the basics of the clone and transformation jutsu, which you grasp immediately -
>You now know the Clone jutsu (Basic clone made out of chakra. Completely insubstantial and can’t do anything except confuse people, but doesn’t require too much energy. Similar only shallowly to your water clone: They both produce ‘clones’ but one is a fake visual facsimile to you and the other is an actual clone.)>You now know the Water Clone jutsu (Costs an amount of your total chakra reserves to be evenly split between each clone making it generally impractical to summon more than two and hard-capping you at around four max, and each only has about a tenth of your power, but it’s an actual, real clone that can attack and use jutsus. If it gets damaged it dissipates into a puddle of water.)>You now know the Transformation jutsu (Similar to the Clone jutsu, overlays a visual facsimile of another person on top of you, overriding your normal form. Has limitations: It’s much easier with people who are more similar in general size and shape to yourself.)- but everyone who isn’t Daigo or Masami is having issues.
You couldn’t just tell them about spiritual energy and have them get it. They needed to know about it personally, form an actual link. Have some kind of empathetic interaction with their spiritual natures.
You begin spending your Tuesdays migrating your classmates to one of five different locations and quietly guiding them through descriptions of the nature of the spirits in each of those locations (Though you’re a bit stilted with 4 of these explanations.). Your guided meditations take place at the river, an old stone quarry, sitting on top of the Hokage monument, at the village power station, and a bonfire you made in a forest clearing.
Some of them are starting to get it.
