“Genjutsu is something that works on your opponent five senses, to control their flow of chakra”disagree mainly with the suggestion given for the interpretation of the 2 scans provided here. Jiraiya states two separate sentences here. It is not perfectly clear to infer from these statements whether genjutsu controls the senses first which leads to a subsequent after effect of control of chakra in the opponent’s body or it’s the other way around as a case can be made for both the interpretations.
Actually the entire chakra control thing is only relevant for breaking out of genjutsu not putting someone in one not even once did Sakura use genjutsu, chakra control is important for disrupting chakra flow when under genjutsu not for outing someone under itKakashi throughout the series notes how Sakura is a genjutsu type due to her adept and exceptional chakra control which would be very difficult for even seasoned and experienced shinobi like Jiraiya to accomplish. This is further backed up when she easily breaks out of Kabuto’s genjutsu during the chunin exams by disrupting her chakra as well as helping others out of it as well. . Sakura was considered a genjutsu type purely because of how exceptional her chakra control is which is essential for a genjutsu type since they would have to control the chakra in their opponent’s body with precision to make them fall into illusions.
I don’t know what this supposed to proof, someone who has fallen asleep would jerk awake when slapped. It’s simple disrupting your chakra wakes you up from genjutsuWe see this trend of disrupting chakra all throughout the series one instance being Killer Bee breaking out of Sasuke’s MS genjutsu due to Hachibi disrupting his chakra flow for him and stating that it wouldn’t work on people who have timed their tailed beasts because they would do the same further reinforcing what Jiraiya stated. (Albeit Sasuke was new to his MS and might not know how to control it properly and use genjutsu’s as proficient as Itachi. )
Not sure what the point of this is she was not blocking the chakra path or hinted to or shown to she was simply repelling the clone, so what’s your point?Not disagreeing with anything specifically here. Just wanted to add that we see Hinata use the 8 trigrams 64 palms on the ten tail clones during the war which trargets acupoints in the chakra network. It could be that tailed beasts have chakra networks. If the ten tail clones have acupoints that Byakugan techniques work against meansthey would have a chakra network. If clones of ten tails has a chakra network I would assume that the main body does so as well as well as other biju since they are kinda similar in physiology overall even though there's a massive difference between each of their power.
Pretty sure Izanagi is a genjutsuizanagi is not genjutsu you seem mention it earlier
Pretty sure it is not and just subjective reality where you turn reality to fictionPretty sure Izanagi is a genjutsu
If I remember correctly, Izanagi is treated as an overpowered self-genjutsu. Which will also make it a unique application of genjutsu because I don't remember any other genjutsu that the user casts upon himselfPretty sure it is not and just subjective reality where you turn reality to fiction
There isn't a 'to' connecting the sentences. Jiraiya says "Genjutsu is something that works on you ropponent's five senses. You control the chakra running through their cranial nerves." There is no 'to' there so don't see why you are adding it“Genjutsu is something that works on your opponent five senses, to control their flow of chakra”
“The power on button is something that works on the TV to turn the TV on”
You have a point here in that chakra control is for breaking out of genjutsu's mainly. I assumed since Kakashi calls her suitable as a 'Genjutsu type ninja' if she tried to practice and use it she would be a pretty good one. Don't think he would call someone a genjutsu type jut because they can break out of one.Actually the entire chakra control thing is only relevant for breaking out of genjutsu not putting someone in one not even once did Sakura use genjutsu, chakra control is important for disrupting chakra flow when under genjutsu not for outing someone under it
Like I said in the intro it was mainly to prove the order in which the genjutsu worked as in controls chakra which leads to control of senses. It isn't simple disruption though its first breaking the control of chakra that the opponent has on you. And anyways after Shadow's reply I concede on it for the most part.don’t know what this supposed to proof, someone who has fallen asleep would jerk awake when slapped. It’s simple disrupting your chakra wakes you up from genjutsu
Alright thanks a lot for answering the few questions I had.snip
It should be subjective reality a CRT should be madeIzanagi is also classified under Genjutsu (somehow)
Don’t really know where all these is coming from but from the applicationIf I remember correctly, Izanagi is treated as an overpowered self-genjutsu. Which will also make it a unique application of genjutsu because I don't remember any other genjutsu that the user casts upon himself
It already is in our Wiki, they're just pointing out that in Naruto the series itself, it's still classified as a GenjutsuIt should be subjective reality a CRT should be made
Actually, I was misremembering. Izanagi is explained as casting a genjutsu on reality itselfIt should be subjective reality a CRT should be made
Don’t really know where all these is coming from but from the application
1. Madara died but before he did casted izanagi on himself to revive him after death
2. Obito died to konan paper bombs but then used izanagi to rewrite his own death
3. We have everyone’s favorite hokage using it multiple times and explaining that it is the power to turn reality to fiction and vice versa I.e. he gets hit by a sure death technique then he makes it so it’s never happened and to prove this the last time he was hit he tried to use it again but he had no eyes left. So yes the deed already happens before they try rewriting it not like they create an illusion to make it seem like the deed happen
4. We have Sasuke using izanagi to make it so Boruto never happened in the first place
that’s not true.ive addressed all of this within the OP.
This covered within the first part of the OP, i even expanded on it with TorsinJiraya statement indeed imply that the senses are manipulated by the manipulation of the chakra flow, because he then say that by stopping it, genjutsu can be undone that is why external people can free you from genjustu by changing your flow. People in naruto have a chakra pathway system even around the brain, by inserting chakra here you manipulate it.
i have an entire section dedicated to the Novel statementThat’s why the novel statement. That’s how they manipulate the brain.
This is covered within the second point of the OP.I can agree somehow that people with energy systems can be affected (that depends by energy equalisation) but I don’t see nothing in this thread that proves genjutsu work on people without a form of spiritual energy.
Hard to argue this when chakra has been there since before the naruto story started. There has never been an instance that it was not present....Chakra isn't Inherently needed to be affected by Genjutsu
Common misconception. Hagoromo only brought about a way to spread chakra so that it could be used as a linking power. Mental energy, which every living thing in the verse has, is chakra. Only when chakra is mixed with physical energy can its volume be increased to a point where it can be used as a weapon e.g Ninjutsu. Implying that everyone, with proper training, can do jutsu and apply chakra externally. Here is what I'm talking about. Is there even a statement of Hagoromo giving people the ability to create chakra?It was always something like dispersing chakra iirc .More on Hagoromo as founder of ninja creed.the easiest example to illustrate is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a Genjutsu that was used to enslave mankind thousands of years ago, long before humans were gifted the ability to create chakra By Hagoromo and by proxy long before humans likely had a chakra system within their anatomy.
It states "releasing chakra" as opposed to creating it. Chakra is a dormant energy existing within everyone. Only through training can a person learn to release it so that it can be used externally.These examples are important to highlight because normal people in naruto do not passively have large amounts of chakra flowing through them, specifically not the amounts that are needed for genjutsu chakra needs to be consciously created by mixing your physical and spiritual energy
Where is this from?so while everyone can make chakra they don't have it running through their system 24/7, at best they have small amounts located at their centre.
It really isn't though. This just further supports the chakra releasing point. A normal person cannot do this with just their dormant life force/chakra. An average person most likely just goes about their day without even knowing that the chakra inside of them can be used to the extent that shinobi do.This is exacerbated by the fact that's it’s extremely hard to actually get chakra to flow to specific parts of your body away from the centre
Boruto has effectively debunked this via a retcon. The whole Ōtsutsuki Clan plot would not make sense if normal people had no chakra. Also further supported by her getting the chakra fruit before Hagoromo was even born. Kaguya's goal has been consistent throughout. It would be impossible for her to be able to do that before the person that supposedly gave people the ability to create chakra was even born.the discrepancy between normal people and shinobi is also further explored in the Shikamaru novel.
All that is saying really is that durability is irrelevant when faced with Tsukuyomi because it ***** with the mind extensivelyIts stated in the Databook that even a body made of iron can be affected by the Tsukuyomi which is good supporting evidence
I think this is accurate, but doesn't this also mean that in verse equalization with any similar fundamental life force/spiritual energy, it will be equated to chakra and genjutsu will be applicable?Time and time again is chakra insinuated to be a fundemental life force within the naruto verse. We do not know it's origins but it has never not been there
Disagree with the "CHAKRA AND THE CHAKRA PATHWAY SYSTEM" section...
No.Hard to argue this when chakra has been there since before the naruto story started. There has never been an instance that it was not present....
He Spread Chakra by teaching people how to make chakra with the intended purpose of connecting them.Common misconception. Hagoromo only brought about a way to spread chakra so that it could be used as a linking power.
No, Mental energy is a component of chakra but it isn't chakra within itself.Mental energy, which every living thing in the verse has, is chakra
No, the Physical energy is drawn from the cells within the body, this is then mixed with spiritual energy which is collectively known as stamina, stamina is then converted into chakra, once you have chakra you can start applying it to the different fields of Jutsu.. Only when chakra is mixed with physical energy can its volume be increased to a point where it can be used as a weapon e.g Ninjutsu
anyone can do Jutsu because everyone has spiritual and physical energy, they just need to train to create chakra.. Implying that everyone, with proper training, can do jutsu and apply chakra externally
... "the Chakra that the six paths dispersed". Here is what I'm talking about. Is there even a statement of Hagoromo giving people the ability to create chakra?It was always something like dispersing chakra iirc
Because Boruto takes place in the present thousands of years after Hagoromo....This same idea of chakra existing within everyone is further reinforced in boruto. Case in point. This is basically a ninja creed explanation
No it doesn't? the Graph literally shows us that chakra volume is entirely empty while the stamina volume is full with notes indicating to us that it's made out of Spiritual and mental energy, when we follow the directions we two arrows forming a circle which indicates that you're converting your stamina to chakra.It states "releasing chakra" as opposed to creating it. Chakra is a dormant energy existing within everyone. Only through training can a person learn to release it so that it can be used externally.
By the fact that chakra is created at the centre and Shinobi who train all their lives don't passively always have chakra running through their body, so why would people that do not train have chakra always flowing within themWhere is this from?
this is referring to the flow of chakra within the body, not the creation im not sure what your point is, if Shinobi struggle to flow their chakra through their bodies then the same would be true for normal people.It really isn't though. This just further supports the chakra releasing point. A normal person cannot do this with just their dormant life force/chakra. An average person most likely just goes about their day without even knowing that the chakra inside of them can be used to the extent that shinobi do.
Humans are not the only ones who have chakra and the Tree does not solely absorb chakra, it absorbs everything, including things like Tree's and water which are made out of nature energy, not chakra, it also absorbs genetic information.The whole Ōtsutsuki Clan plot would not make sense if normal people had no chakra.
See my point aboveAlso further supported by her getting the chakra fruit before Hagoromo was even born. Kaguya's goal has been consistent throughout. It would be impossible for her to be able to do that before the person that supposedly gave people the ability to create chakra was even born.
Time and time again is chakra insinuated to be a fundemental life force within the naruto verse. We do not know it's origins but it has never not been there
By the way, the existence of Rock Lee debunks this point no?Implying that everyone, with proper training, can do jutsu and apply chakra externally
Now I'm interested, has Lee been shown to walk on water and run up trees?if by apply chakra externally he means have it come out your body then lee does that when he enters the gates and you can even say when he walks of water/trees
You're right, there are a few shots of Lee standing on water in that fightsir team guy literally fought kisame on a ocean lol
Jesus Christ Kishi.....
Do you have a scan that says this specifically?? preferably after the Madara explanation....He Spread Chakra by teaching people how to make chakra with the intended purpose of connecting them.
That's directly going against what Madara said though. It's very clear cutNo, Mental energy is a component of chakra but it isn't chakra within itself.
This pre-timeskip explanation of chakra has also been retconned. Spiritual energy is not even mentioned anymore in the latter half of the story. This just gives more context as to where physical energy is gotten from.No, the Physical energy is drawn from the cells within the body, this is then mixed with spiritual energy which is collectively known as stamina, stamina is then converted into chakra, once you have chakra you can start applying it to the different fields of Jutsu.
Mental energy not spiritual energy...anyone can do Jutsu because everyone has spiritual and physical energy, they just need to train to create chakra.
The scans point to the former being true. It is literally the essence of Ninshu. Spiritual energy has also never been mentioned in that context(unless you have scans)for Hagoromo to have done this he would have either had to have taught them how to use their mental and spiritual energies or to have literally given them chakra, either way, you want to take it, it still means until Hagoromo most people did not have chakra.
It was moreso a reply to this general sentiment(below⬇⬇⬇)in which it it implied that chakra was not needed or that regular humans did not have any. These events basically also took place not too long ago. What you're insinuating would be considered a plothole.Because Boruto takes place in the present thousands of years after Hagoromo....
However, this type of genjutsu isn't restricted solely to just that jutsu. It has been replicated by more pedestrian genjutsu Like Kabuto’s sleep genjutsu that affected an entire stadium of normal citizens or Itachi using genjutsu to control a regular woman.
Oops. The OP did not have this official scan lolNo it doesn't? the Graph literally shows us that chakra volume is entirely empty while the stamina volume is full with notes indicating to us that it's made out of Spiritual and mental energy, when we follow the directions we two arrows forming a circle which indicates that you're converting your stamina to chakra.
Proof for this? Cause the story disagrees. There also was no distinction between regular humans and superhumans in the explanation. And to this day no other information contradicts this iirc.By the fact that chakra is created at the centre and Shinobi who train all their lives don't passively always have chakra running through their body
Because the story says so or atleast heavily implies it....so why would people that do not train have chakra always flowing within them
Scan for this?? Where was it stated that shinobi struggled with something they do not even have to think about (most of the time)??if Shinobi struggle to flow their chakra through their bodies then the same would be true for normal people.
What are you even inferring this from? We have scans of "The endlessly annoying gardening" in which we can see the siphoning of chakra only happening to the populace..Humans are not the only ones who have chakra and the Tree does not solely absorb chakra, it absorbs everything, including things like Tree's and water which are made out of nature energy, not chakra, it also absorbs genetic information.
right back at ya..See my point above
Its also talking about how it can work on an iron bodyAll that is saying really is that durability is irrelevant when faced with Tsukuyomi because it ***** with the mind extensively
Do you have a scan that says this specifically??
I will say misinformedEither I'm completely misinformed or there is some special rule about retroactive continuity that I do not know about....
Jesus Christ Kishi.....
Why is a Databook passage from almost 8 years ago(secondary canon) more valid than exposition from almost 2 years ago(main cannon)?
Would this not be a retcon? The recent explanation also makes way more sense..
It is literally in the scans you sent he said he taught people how to connect their mental energies but instead people used it for a different thing and started connecting their physical and mental energies within themselves to make them strongerDo you have a scan that says this specifically?? preferably after the Madara explanation....
Mental energy = spiritual energy? No?This pre-timeskip explanation of chakra has also been retconned. Spiritual energy is not even mentioned anymore in the latter half of the story. This just gives more context as to where physical energy is gotten from.
And this would be your own head canonMental energy not spiritual energy...
No one has ever trained to create chakra. Mixing the 2 grants more volume and it makes chakra manipulation possible(as per the madara explanation)
Read aboveThe scans point to the former being true. It is literally the essence of Ninshu. Spiritual energy has also never been mentioned in that context(unless you have scans)
Which in turn would make your conclusion incorrect.
Here it is again
And why should there be a distinction in this explanation that is clearly just explaining the chakra flow??Proof for this? Cause the story disagrees. There also was no distinction between regular humans and superhumans in the explanation. And to this day no other information contradicts this iirc.
No, it says having an iron body is useless (because Tsukuyomi **** your brain)Its also talking about how it can work on an iron body
Yeah, so it can work on people with inorganic physiologyNo, it says having an iron body is useless (because Tsukuyomi **** your brain)
You could have just said this to begin with. For what it's worth though, I don't know if this would be true, someone would have to try genjutsu on Code or DeltaYeah, so it can work on people with inorganic physiology
Nope, the term body is very broad. You can have a body made of iron and still have a brain or nervous system, so no.Yeah, so it can work on people with inorganic physiology
