Their little exercise began to heat up as Ocha formed fire clones to face the young illusionist. He refused to give up, which Suika liked, but his methods began to defeat the purpose of this tutor. Yes, the task given was just to “hit” the kunoichi, but it was primarily a genjutsu lesson. She wasn’t lying when she said he had a way to go before successfully placing her under an illusion, but there were other routes he could have taken. She didn’t have long to dwell on this; the teen soon launched his burning assault.
Suika formed a seal.
With her extra-sensory perception intact, she noticed peculiarities all around her. She was being rushed by clones, yes, but Ocha had something else up his sleeve. What was it? As soon as it appeared that a clone achieved contact with her, a visibly shocked-looking Suika melted in to the shadows. The girl disappeared and left no trace. Suddenly, a combustive seal went off and caused a string of explosions to ignite across the room. Suika, who was a bit cautious when it came to combat, watched the fireworks set off as she stood on the cieling. It was in that moment, too, that a piece of debris flew into the air and lightly brushed against her shin. She wove together a few seals.
Suika attempted to cast one of her deadliest techniques – The Reaper’s Gaze. It was physical and chakra bind genjutsu that often helped her when in a pinch. If hit, Ocha would feel his body freeze as the jutsu deactivated his sharingan, his chakra threads, and any remnant fire clones standing. He would find himself frozen and unable to use chakra. Suika twirled down from the ceiling and planted herself before him.
“You've both passed and failed, Ocha-chan,” she muttered bluntly as she released her attempted illusion. If the Genin wasn’t under her illusory spell, she’d continue as normal. The kunoichi pointed to her shin. “A piece of debris barely grazed my shin, which counts as a success for the task you were given, but you ultimately failed the main purpose of this exercise.” The Chuunin summoned two scrolls, one that was stamped “F” and the other “P”, and then handed them to the Genin. With calm eyes and a stern, yet informative tone, the girl revealed her final assessment.
“You relied solely on Ninjutsu once you figured out your illusions had no affect on me, but there were other routes you could have chosen to take. For instance,” she quickly formed the ‘Cancel’ sign, “you were aware that my genjutsu manipulated your senses to feel intoxicated, yet you didn’t once attempt to dispel the illusion. That would have made your Ninjutsu plot a lot more effective.” She then released the hand sign and held out a number two. “Instead of cancelling out the genjutsu, you could have also attempted to reverse that last one. Sure, your illusionary attacks all seemed to fail, but I momentarily let my guard down and, if done right, you might have been successful for a split second. That would have surely guaranteed a successful strike against me.”
Suika’s expression transitioned into a light grin as she shot a thumb’s up and a wink. Her lesson was over. “Nonetheless, you still passed, so feel free to turn in the ‘passed’ scroll at the front desk before you head out. The ‘failed’ scroll is for you to keep. On it, there are multiple suggestions you can use to improve your Genjutsu offense and defense. I also recommend taking on another tutor soon and training diligently on your own. The fact that you were so quickly aware of my illusions is a testament to your potential – do not take that lightly, but instead choose to grow. Tutor dismissed.”
With that, Suika waved at Ocha and prepared herself for the next lesson of the day. “Fundamentals of Taijutsu, eh?” It was then, too, that the kunoichi remembered why she didn’t teach anymore. “Oh well, I’ll reward myself with a cup or two of matcha pudding today,” she reasoned. On to the next!

[Tutor complete and topic left]
Ryuichi stepped through the mostly empty academy, his hard boots clapping as they hit the hard floor. Going through the halls was an almost haunting sound to some. A repetitive, echoing tap that seems to scratch the inside of the ear. It was very much the same feeling that some forms of torture exploit like the water droplet torture technique. This involves dripping water onto the forehead of a victim for days on end, making them slowly go crazy Such methods of interrogation and destruction of will used to be extremely commonplace among the entirety of the ninja world, and are sometimes still employed. However, this has been replaced by a much more terrifying ability that any ninja can possess with the right training.
