CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Today was the official two-day anniversary of Mimi navigating from her apartment to the shinobi academy without getting lost more than twice. As such it seemed worth celebrating, so she popped into a cafe to get a little pastry and a tasty drink, and then she spent twenty minutes chatting with the baker about whether or not his business would benefit from a shop cat before it was politely pointed out to her that she was very, very late for work. Barrelling into the classroom with a donut in her mouth, the lead instructor gave her a stern glare—luckily she’d burst in while the kids were beginning to split up for small group training, so she hadn’t interrupted anything important. "Miyake-san, you’re leading the genjutsu group today,” he said, rubbing his brow. "And please get that out of your mouth.” Mimi inhaled the rest of her donut in two big bites, and then hopped over to the genjutsu group… only to find a party of one. Yugao Uka, the sole student in this particular classroom focusing on genjutsu today. She peered around to see if any other students were going to be joining them, and when she saw nary a peep or inquisitive eye cast their way, Mimi perched her petite form on top of a nearby desk. With a deft sleight of hand trick she withdrew another donut from within her big rain jacket, offering it up to her lone trainee. "Just Uka and Mimi today, hm?” Her tail swished, her legs swinging idly. "Whatcha wanna work on? Any new genjutsu Uka wants to show off?” Yugao Uka -- 267

She glanced up from her seated position, a subtle smile playing on her lips as Mimi offered her the extra donut. She accepted it graciously, appreciating the unexpected treat. "Thanks, Miyake-sensei. You always know how to make training more interesting," Uka remarked, her tone light-hearted. "And Momo," Uka added, pointing at the staffed toy that was used as a way to transport Uka's butterflies and moths.

Taking a thoughtful bite from her donut, Uka considered Mimi's question. "Well, there's this new illusion technique I've been practicing. It's inspired by the way the moth's wings look. I thought it might be useful for slowing down the enemy or creating some kind of diversion," she explained, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.
[break][break]
Uka stood up, gesturing for a bit of space between them. "I'd love to show it to you and get some feedback. It's a bit tricky, but I think it has potential," she added, her hands forming the needed hand seal. As she performed the technique, a group of small-sized moths flew out of Momo's mouth and flattered quite close to Mikio's eyes, techically, as the moths fluttered around, they would release a fine dust that induced a mild genjutsu upon contact with her eyes. Mikio then should perceive a temporary distortion of her vision, as if a mysterious veil has been cast over her surroundings, making it challenging to see clearly.
[break][break]
But it was only an E-rank jutsu, and one Uka was still perfecting so whether anything would happen or not was left up to fate.

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED "Uka, Mimi, and Momo,” Mikio corrected herself agreeably, reaching over to give the little plushie a gentle pat on the head—but not too hard, so that she didn’t disturb the delicate insects within! Mikio wiggled back on her perch, rolling off the top of the desk and plopping into the chair tucked neatly behind it, giving Uka the space she asked for. Resting her chin in her palms, she watched with sparkling intensity as moths fluttered out of Momo’s mouth and surrounded her head. Her tail lashed erratically; one hand reached up instinctively to bat at the tiny creatures, though none came to harm. Then: dust! Mikio sneezed, delicate and adorable. When her eyes opened the world seemed unclear, distorted—like she was looking at the classroom through a gauzy curtain. "It’s pretty!” she said, looking around with open curiosity. "Hard to fight when everything’s squiggly. Can Uka-ko affect Mimi’s ears, too?” One soft, droopy ear twitched, as if to look at Uka. "Genjutsu is scary when you can’t trust your senses. Mimi has good eyes and good ears, but if both are turned off…” she shook her head, wiggled her fingers in front of her eyes, trying to discern the space between them. "That’s scariest of all.” Yugao Uka -- 209

Uka grinned at Mikio's enthusiastic response, appreciating her sensei's willingness to engage in the training with such zeal. "I'm glad you find it intriguing, Miyake-sensei," Uka replied, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. As Mikio commented on the visual distortion caused by the moths, Uka chuckled, "I'm still fine-tuning it, but I'm working on something that could indeed affect the ears too." With a simple hand gesture, Uka released her visual genjutsu, causing the moths to disperse and flutter around them.
[break][break]
"Now, let's try this other genjutsu," Uka said, a mischievous glint in her eyes. With an excited tone, Uka turned to Momo, "Come on out." It did not take long for a handful of delicate Yugao butterflies to fly out from Momo. The butterflies fluttered around, their wings whispering as they landed on various surfaces.
[break][break]
As the butterflies landed on Mikio and fluttered around her, Uka activated the Chou no Hibiki genjutsu. The moment one of the butterflies made contact with Mikio, the illusion took hold. Suddenly, echoing footsteps surrounded Mikio, creating a phantom sensation that someone was pacing around her.
[break][break]
Uka's eyes sparkled with excitement as she observed the interplay of her genjutsu. "What do you think, Miyake-sensei? It's a genjutsu that targets the auditory sense, designed to keep the target on their toes. Imagine facing an opponent who can't trust what they hear—it could be a potent asset in the field, don't you think?" Uka asked, her enthusiasm evident as she awaited Mikio's insightful feedback.

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Mikio blinked as her vision cleared and the moths fluttered away. Her instincts took over, unable to contain herself for a second longer, and she swiped at one of the insects, catching its furry body carefully in between her hands and cooing at it as gently as if she were holding a little baby kitten. Then: butterflies! Mikio released the moth in favor of looking at the sudden cacophony of color with round, delighted eyes; she hardly even noticed when a few alighted on her shoulders and hair, the only indication that something had changed being the sound of sudden pacing when there was no pacing to be seen. The rest of the classroom was bustling and noisy, filled with the dull thunks of wooden training swords clacking against each other and the puffs of smoke as students practiced ninjutsu techniques, but no one was immediately around them to create that particular sound. It made Mikio’s hair stand on end, soft pink fur of her tail bristiling as she tried and fail to identify a nonexistent threat. "Mimi doesn’t like it,” she said, but she said it with a bright, approving smile. "That means it works! Why doesn’t Uka-ko try both at once? That would work best of all, don’t you think?” Yugao Uka -- 214

Uka grinned at Mikio's suggestion to combine both genjutsu techniques. "Oh, you're onto something, Miyake-sensei! Let's spice things up a bit," she exclaimed with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Watch this!" With a determined expression, she began channeling her chakra into Momo. The stuffed toy responded, releasing a mix of moths and butterflies. However, as they fluttered around Mikio, there was a moment of discord.
[break][break]
Not noticing that Uka attempted to weave the hand seals for both Ga no Be-ru and Chou no Hibiki simultaneously, but as the illusions unfolded, it became clear that the mix wasn't as seamless as she had hoped. The visual distortion and phantom footsteps clashed in a slightly chaotic form, probably not pleasant and realistic to the target trapped in the genjutsu.
[break][break]
She stopped mid-seals, scratching her head with a sheepish smile. "Well, that didn't go as planned, did it?" Uka chuckled. "I guess mixing these two is trickier than I thought. What do you reckon, Miyake-sensei? Where did I mess up? My chakra or the timing, maybe? Your thoughts could help me figure this out."
[break][break]
Uka gestured toward the fluttering moths and butterflies, a mix of confusion and determination on her face. "I'm all ears—well, not literally like Miyake-sensei, but you get what I mean. How would you fine-tune it?" she asked, eager to get Mikio's take on the experimental fusion.

[miyake mikio]

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Watch this! Uka exclaimed, filled with confidence and vigor, and so Mikio leaned forward with her elbows dug into her knees and her chin in her hands and watched with wide golden eyes. Moths and butterflies both fluttered out of the stuffed toy on Uka’s shoulder, dancing around Mikio’s head in another hypnotic weave—but as Mikio’s keen feline eyes watched Uka try to weave the handseals, it seemed not quite as fine-tuned as before. More clumsy, and while there was definitely something happening along the smooth curve of Mikio’s brain, she didn’t think it was quite what Uka was going for. "Hmm…” Mikio tapped her chin with a finger thoughtfully. "Mimi thinks it was Uka-ko’s timing. Handseals and chakra are really important and specific to each jutsu Uka-ko uses! So trying to mix them up is just going to make a sad jumble instead of a nice song. Mimi thinks Uka-ko should try to use one genjutsu, then the other genjutsu, but both of them are in Mimi’s eyes and ears at once. Okay?” While certainly no genjutsu expert, Mikio was something of an idiot-savant when it came to the broad-strokes concepts, and it seemed quite clear and obvious to her that if one stronger technique was able to impact multiple senses, then two weaker techniques should be able to impact one sense each, separately—basic math! Yugao Uka -- 226

Uka listened intently to Mikio's feedback, her eyes narrowing slightly in concentration as she processed the advice. She nodded in agreement with the feline's wisdom, appreciating the straightforward explanation.
[break][break]
"Ah, got it! One at a time, but both hitting at once through sight and sound," Uka mused, her grin returning with a renewed spark. "I guess I got a bit carried away trying to blend them seamlessly. Simple is better, huh?" She chuckled at her eagerness.
[break][break]
Adjusting her stance, Uka took a moment to refocus her chakra, her eyes fixated on Mikio. This time, she decided to start with Ga no Be-ru, the visual distortion genjutsu. Weaving the hand seals with deliberate precision, she directed the illusion toward Mikio's sight. The world around the feline began to warp, creating an unsettling mirage.
[break][break]
As Uka smoothly switched from Ga no Be-ru to Chou no Hibiki, thinking she'd nailed it, things went south during the second genjutsu. The sound started messing up, turning into a weird mix that clashed with the visual illusion.
[break][break]
Uka scrunched her face in frustration, realizing her chakra timing was off during the transition. The combo that was supposed to work like peanut butter and jelly now sounded more like a broken radio. The footsteps turned into bizarre whispers, ruining the whole effect.
[break][break]
She sighed and scratched her head, a bit disappointed but also finding it kinda funny. "Well, scratch the simplicity idea," she said, smirking at Mikio. "Guess I need to get the timing right between them. Timing's everything, it seems."
[break][break]
Undeterred, Uka prepared for another go. She focused on making the transition smoother, ensuring the second genjutsu followed the first without causing a messed-up mix. Looking at Mikio, she said, "Alright, let's give it another shot, Miyake-sensei. Third time's the charm, they say!"

[miyake mikio]

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Mikio nodded enthusiastically, pleased beyond measure that her explanation had seemed to strike a chord with her lovely young friend. Simple was better, and Mikio was the simplest of creatures! She waited patiently as Uka readied herself, more than receptive to the genjutsu once it arrived. The visual distortion was not quite as off-putting as it had been the first time, and she dangled her legs, swaying lightly from side to side as she wanted for the second of Uka’s one-two punch—the much more distressing auditory illusion. But it didn’t land quite the same—Mikio scrunched up her nose, her entire face crinkling as she tried to make sense of what was happening in her brain. The sound wasn’t the subtle footstep of a pacing enemy but rather something else altogether—there was still sound, but it was annoying more than threatening. Both sensations disappeared after a moment as Uka dropped the technique and Mikio vigorously shook her head like she was trying to get water out of her ears. "Try again!” she said brightly, undeterred by this slightest of roadblocks. "Just because something didn’t work doesn’t mean it’s a bad or wrong idea, it just means it didn’t work! Uka-ko has to try a few more times to understand what’s going wrong and why. Make changes a little bit at a time and Uka-ko will get there in the end!” Yugao Uka -- 233

Uka couldn't help but appreciate Mikio's unwavering enthusiasm and encouraging words. She took a deep breath, refocusing her chakra once again, determined to make the necessary adjustments. This time, she decided to slow down her transition between the visual and auditory genjutsu, aiming for a seamless blend.
[break][break]
As she performed the hand seals for Ga no Be-ru, she concentrated on maintaining the visual distortion without overdoing it. The world around Mikio began to warp again, but this time, Uka paid close attention to the timing of her chakra flow. Once the visual illusion was in place, she smoothly transitioned to Chou no Hibiki, being mindful not to rush the process.
[break][break]
To her satisfaction, the distorted sounds began to complement the visual illusion rather than clash with it. The footsteps became eerie, enhancing the overall disorienting effect. Uka felt a surge of pride as she watched Mikio's reaction, noticing a subtle shiver running through the feline's fur.
[break][break]
It seemed that it was affecting Mikio and a genuine smile spread across Uka's face. It worked! The combination of Ga no Be-ru and Chou no Hibiki finally clicked, creating the desired impact. Uka couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for Mikio's guidance.
[break][break]
"Looks like the third time is the charm," Uka said with a triumphant grin. "Thanks for sticking with me, Miyake-sensei. Your advice made all the difference. Simple and patient, just like you said!" Releasing the genjutsu she bowed respectfully to the feline. Before trying the same thing a few more times. The lesson time was coming to an end and Uka wanted to use this opportunity to its fullest.

[miyake mikio]

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Uka took a deep breath in front of her and Mikio breathed in tandem, mimicking her young friend’s slow inhale and slower exhale, a sympathetic action thoughtlessly performed. She was more than happy to render herself victim to all sorts of genjutsu, and while the auditory one was upsetting and made her hairs stand on end, it was something she was willing to endure for the benefit of a sweet young student just trying to learn. Mikio’s visual perception of the world around her began to warp once again, a sensation that was now becoming banal and acceptable; less acceptable was the smooth, subtle introduction of those pacing footsteps. An unpleasant shiver ran down Mikio’s spine and to the tip of her tail, and she shook herself out to rid herself of the feeling… but it persisted for as long as Uka held her concentration. "Uka-ko did it!” Mikio hollered, a mite too loudly to compensate for the sound in her periphery, as if she could drown it out herself. "Mimi-sensei knew you could!! Good job!!” A brief moment of reprieve as Uka released the genjutsu; Mikio beamed at her, swaying happily back and forth on her perch. It was the best feeling, she thought, to be helpful! To help someone get where they needed to go! With that in mind, Mikio would gladly play victim for the remainder of the lesson time, letting Uka practice the one-two waltz-like timing of layering her techniques without so much as a peep of complaint.

Uka couldn't contain her excitement as she watched Mikio's enthusiastic response to her successful execution of the genjutsu techniques. The feline's unwavering support and encouragement had been invaluable throughout the training session, and Uka felt a surge of gratitude towards Mikio.

"Thank you, Miyake-sensei!" Uka exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine appreciation. "I couldn't have done it without your guidance and patience. You're truly the best teacher a kunoichi could ask for."

As Mikio settled back into her perch, ready to be ensnared by Uka's genjutsu once more, Uka felt a renewed sense of confidence wash over her. For the rest of the lesson, Uka continued to repeat what she had just succeeded. With each repetition, she became more attuned to the rhythm of her chakra flow and more adept at blending the visual and auditory illusions seamlessly.

Uka performed the hand seals once again, channeling her chakra with precision. The world around Mikio should begin to warp and distort, but this time, Uka maintained control, ensuring that the transition between the two techniques was smooth and harmonious. Thanks to Mikio's cooperation, this would go on for the remaining time.

As the lesson drew to a close and Uka's chakra reserves, all that was left was to thank Mikio, once more before heading home for the day. "Thank you for believing in me, Miyake-sensei," Uka said, her voice filled with sincerity. "I promise to keep working hard and making you proud." With a determined smile, she bowed respectfully to her mentor, feeling grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow under Mikio's guidance before making her exit.
