Masshiro obviously didn't know what was going on in Daichi's mind, otherwise he'd be a far more useful Shinobi for being able to read minds, but he certainly knew well enough how others felt about his previous teacher. It wasn't as if he held her in high regard because she was a kind individual, but she had skill, taught him quite a lot, saved him on more than a few occasions, and she at least had his respect as equally as she often had his disdain. He saw the way people tensed momentarily when he brought her up, the way they looked at Uemori when they saw it, but clearly in someone else's grip.
"Interesting. Perhaps it's you who should be teaching me a few things. Different things come easier to different people after all. The sensory part, that was natural, sealing however, well I guess that's as much my fault for not putting in the work."
There was a noise that sounded like a mixture of a laugh and a scoff coming from the exhale he gave, as Daichi flexed in front of him. Masshiro was more than a bit positively shaped himself, but his clothes his any signs of it, just as he wanted them to. The change to his familiar tale of their awakened doujutsu snapped him out of his momentary drifting thoughts, nodding in obvious agreement.
"I was admitted as I excelled at Bukijutsu, and while it was nothing impressive at the time, had a firm grasp on Genjutsu for my age. I remember the surprise my academy instructor had when he saw my name and learned I had nearly no grasp on our clan abilities to speak of, at least the ones he was aware of. I could certainly hold my own with a weapon in hand, for an academy student at least."
Again he nodded heavily in response, but kept quiet for a moment as he looked up in thought. This was the first time he was in a position to truly teach another Yamaguchi member and not simply teaching someone how to swing a katana. It hadn't really hit him until he tried to form the best way to respond that he realized how out of his element he was, and in a way this new experience was exciting, even revealing a smirk.
"In the most basic terms, you have the idea right. It is a defense against sensory doujutsu, but think of it in terms of a genjutsu, because at it's core that's what it is. You use them to trick the mind of another, except in this case you are tricking how a doujutsu user senses chakra by manipulating their eyes input to the brain. You are making them sense something that isn't there at all."
Stepping to the side he started to move his arms as if he was tracing a shape next to him that wasn't there.
"The idea is creating an entire being of chakra next to you, but as you are now, your Jaakugan unactivated, you see nothing, hence Chakra Ghost."
Stepping back in front of him he stopped for a moment, trying to think on his comment about the Sharingan before he continued, going for a full blown stereotypical thinking pose.
"You are correct again with your understanding, and in reference to the Sharingan, I'm not sure how much you know of it. The Sharingan users are able to read your chakra flow, which tells them you are about to do something specific, moving chakra for an attack, to your legs to move in a certain way perhaps, and to those unaware it seems as if they simply know what you are going to do before doing it. It's actually quite simple, but the Chakra Ghost technique can trick their eyes."
Pointing at his eyes, there was a sudden change as he activated his Jaakugan and stared at Daichi.
"Think of it like taking that Chakra Ghost and placing it on top of yourself, they aren't seeing your chakra anymore, they are seeing the flow of chakra from the fake clone you've created instead. It is essentially a Genjutsu, but it's targeting those specifically intent on tracing or tracking chakra with doujutsu. Even if the two of us were to use our Jaakugan against one another, I could impair any attempts you could make to detect or track my chakra. With other techniques I could cease to exist at all to doujutsu assisted tracking attempts.
Moving in close to Daichi, he kept his Jaakugan active and leaned in close, staring him in the eye as if he were looking for something. Leaning back again he kept staring at him and gently crossed his arms.
"Just keep in mind, this isn't a simple tool or trick. It's actually a rather advanced technique."
