Oriko had arrived early, not because he wanted to be there before the Chuunin, but because he was actually excited about taking on something of a "tutor" role, something he hadn't done since his days in the medical corps. Of course, this time his training and tutelage would have nothing to do with diagnosing patients or healing wounds; no this training was to help Yuudai learn more about the illusionist arts, something he was told he was even more skilled with than his medical training. It had likely been a surprise, therefore, when he'd chosen to go into the medic corps instead of becoming a fully operation-focused ninja at first. There was also the fact that this training with Yuudai was precisely the kind of thing the Ame Lord had expected of him when he'd been instructed to instead join a Genin team. Granted, this building of camaraderie had likely been expected to be done with his other Genin teammate, rather than with a totally unrelated Chuunin, but progress was progress, and Oriko felt that this would also help with his teamwork.

It's raining, as it normally is in the area around Amegakure, though Oriko is actually on the outskirts of the village, inside of a waterlogged forest that would serve as a great training ground for the specific Genjutsu he's planning to use in order to help teach Yuudai about the basics of the illusion arts. He's wearing his usual attire of the black biotech body suit, though he's left behind both his medical kit and his weapon pouch; he likely won't be needing either one in order to help his new friend learn more about the use of Genjutsu. Although he knows that a single technique does not a master make, the Sly Mind Affect Technique displays several aspects of Genjutsu that he feels will help the other man understand at least the basics.

He turns with delight as he hears a noise, his blue-white ephemeral hair billowing in the movement as his gold-colored eyes light up with excitement, eager to get to training and show Yuudai how well he can do.

Today was a new day, but it was still rainy as hell. However as a citizen of Amegakure what more could one come to expect? Even with the rain Yuudai was ready to have a very productive day, as today he was set to train with Oriko. Even though Yuudai was the higher ranking shinobi between them, today was time for Oriko to become the master and Yuudai be the student.
[break][break]
Yuudai needed help with his other ninja arts, which is what prompted Oriko to set up this training session for the chunin where he would help him learn the basics of genjutsu. The two had already picked out a spot during their last training session together, so all it would take is for Yuudai to meet him there. The chunin was slightly nervous about the situation, knowing his genjutsu was the worst of all his ninja arts.
[break][break]
*What if he tells me I suck? Or worse… what if he calls me a body building muscle head and tells me I’ll never rank up past chunin…* These internal thoughts were of course exaggerations but it is truly where his nervous mind took him to thinking. He would leave the village and begin walking on its outskirt, into the rainy forest. Entering a small clearing he would see Oriko’s blue hair, prompting him to let off a slight grin before saying "Yo yo! What’s good Oriko!”

Oriko, seeing Yuudai and hearing his greeting, gives his new friend one of his signature smiles, one that's all eyes, since his mouth is still hidden behind his gas mask, despite not using any filters for it. Even in the gloomy and rainy weather, Oriko seemed to think of Yuudai like a rare ray of sunshine breaking through clouds, and looked as though he was trying to reflect that very brightness back to the Chuunin. His answer to the greeting might seem a bit strange, but it was also the truth, and at least he'd also explain his meaning behind it.

"What's good is this weather! Gloomy and dark like this is actually perfect for most types of Genjutsu. Skrrrk. Bright sunlight makes our eyes better focused for details, but these muted colors make it a lot harder to make out what's real or what's illusion. Skrrk."

The water would also be a direct help for the Genin, since he was more proficient with water-based techniques, but he didn't add that. Instead, he points back the way Yuudai had come, thinking to give him a demonstration of his ability to use this specific Genjutsu before he starts with the lesson. It would serve as an example of a successful illusion technique for Yuudai to keep in mind.

"Do me a favor. Skrrk. Walk back to Amegakure from here. Skrk."

He waits for Yuudai to turn back to look in the direction he'd just pointed, then pulls his gas mask down a little, allowing his unhindered voice free for the first time in quite a while, though he wasn't going to say anything in a recognizable language. Instead, he uses his voice to make a fox's yipping noise, activating the Genjutsu over the area around them through the somewhat odd trigger, and ensuring that when Yuudai actually tries to leave, he would end up circling back around to where he'd come into the clearing to be face-to-face with Oriko once more, having replaced his gas mask quickly.

NAME: Kori Shinchū no Jutsu - [Sly Mind Affect Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low [Very Low Continuous]
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
TRIGGER: Fox Yip (Sound)
DESCRIPTION:
A shinobi using this technique will typically keep themselves concealed from a group of enemies and let out a high pitched yelp similar to that of a fox. This auditory signal triggers the technique and allows for a single shinobi to keep potentially dozens of enemy combatants preoccupied. By allowing the user to change the enemies sense of direction through recreating the terrain they are seeing, the user will typically replace pathways that lead back to where they came from with illusions of paths that progress them forward. While most commonly used to prevent target's from progressing towards their destination it could also be used to hinder the escape of targets. The one main downside to the technique is that only the terrain can be changed with the illusion, meaning that non terrain objects like corpses typically can't be hidden.

Upon Yuudai’s arrival, Oriko would smile and reply to him saying what’s good, by voicing that the weather was good… well good for their training anyway, as the dark and gloom would help facilitate usage of illusions. Yuudai was still rather nervous about their training today and even somewhat regretted coming. It wouldn’t take long for the duo to get things started though, as Oriko had asked Yuudai to walk back to Ame from where they currently were. Yuudai’s face would fill with confusion as he was not sure why Oriko would request this of him. The chunin began to look slightly lost, the confusion showing itself well.
[break][break]
"I mean I can do that sure, I guess…”
[break][break]
His words were very mellow and his voice showed he was not entirely sure of the situation. Yuudai would turn around and begin walking back towards Amegakure like Oriko had requested of him. After he had turned around however he heard a strange sound, he wasn’t exactly sure what the noise was though. He would walk forward for a few moments before realizing something seemed off. He was not exactly sure what it was but he felt as if he had walked this path before.
[break][break]
Of course he had just walked the path to arrive at the meeting spot for training, but this would feel as if he was walking in a roundabout. And moments later his hunch was right as he would be back within the clearing standing face to face with Oriko. "What the hell was that Oriko?” Yuudai would say with his look of confusion intensifying.

Oriko had been waiting, feeling somewhat relaxed after having placed the illusion, sitting on a low and degraded stone wall that had tumbled down in most places, marking some unknown barrier that had long since disappeared. It was a relic, but Oriko was fine with sitting on it and lightly kicking his legs back and forth while he waits for Yuudai to wind up returning. Once he does so, Oriko drops down from the wall and gives him one of his signature smiles, one that doesn't show his mouth at all, hidden as it is behind the gas mask he always wears, even without the filters. The Chuunin seems bewildered with his own return, which makes sense with the Genjutsu he'd just used to cause the other man to simply walk in a winding path that brings him right back to the clearing he'd designated as their training space for the illusion arts.

"That was one of the more common illusion techniques that they sometimes use when an opponent's sightlines are hindered by forests... or buildings. Skrrk. I've used it to give you a little demonstration of the type of illusion techniques that are fairly common, and some of the things you'll need to learn about to be able to perform most of them. Skrrrk. A trigger, a sensory focus, and a situation, like a goal for you to strive for to get a result."

Oriko nods to himself at this explanation, hoping that it's easy enough to follow along with the lesson for the Chuunin. It still shouldn't be too bad, the Genjutsu he used was fairly simple. Well, simple for him, anyway, but he was a Takehara, and he wasn't sure how far down he should dumb the concepts down. But he doesn't try to underestimate Yuudai's ability to understand.

After Yuudai had questioned Oriko on exactly what had happened, the genin would give a lengthy response. He would say that what had happened was one of the more common illusions used by shinobi when nightlines are obstructed by buildings and forest. He would go on to basically give a breakdown of how genjutsu worked, stating a genjustsu was made of a sensory trigger, a focus, and a goal.
[break][break]
Going off what he was just told the chunk’s mind began to think about what was going on, before long he would mutter to himself saying "Oh so the goal of that must have been to simply confuse someone… make them believe they are going somewhere they are not… Is that right Oriko?” The last part he would say clearly as if he knew primo was listening all along.
[break][break]
Yuudai was not much for classroom work or learning, he always preferred to learn hands on which was one of the many reasons he loved taijutsu so much. With him ready to get to training he would look to Oriko and say "Ok no need for us to doddle about, lets get to work dude! So were you planing to teach me that jutsu?”

Oriko smiles when Yuudai asks what the goal of this particular Genjutsu he'd used on him had been, if it was simply to confuse someone and believe they're going somewhere they're not, and he nods when she's asked if that's right, although he does have one clarification to make on that point.

"Its goal is to make the targets walk around in a circle. Skrk. That can certainly cause confusion, but it can also delay someone from getting where they actually want to go. Skrrk. Or, if it's done long enough, it can lead to exhausting the enemy and make them so tired that they can't even fight back when the user of the Genjutsu finally attacks them. Skrrk."

Then Yuudai requests that they get right to it and if Oriko was planning to teach him that particular jutsu.

"I mostly was using it to help teach some of the fundamentals of Genjutsu. They don't go into it in-depth in the Academy, I remember. Skrrk. But yes, it's a good jutsu to teach, especially because it can catch multiple people at the same time, even though it's a bit advanced as a Genjutsu technique. Skrrk. There's no handseals involved, either..."

With this Oriko goes over how he infuses his chakra into the area around himself, and then changes its appearance in small ways, like making the path appear to shift to a different direction, until it turns into a wide loop around itself.

Yuudai would listen to Oriko’s words carefully, as he told him about the genjutsu that he had used. Before long Oriko would also mention how the academy did not go into detail on the illusionary arts, causing Yuudai to laugh a bit to himself. A memory of him in the academy sleeping during lectures on almost anything popped into his mind, reminding the chunin that he was truly lacking in most areas besides Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
[break][break]
Oriko would then get down to the meat and potatoes of the lesson, telling Yuudai how to form the chakra to activate the jutsu. Now was the time for Yudai to put his small amount of ‘book’ learning into a action and turn it into actual action. Using what he learned from Oriko he would begin to mold his chakra within himself, before pushing it outwards along with an imitation of the sound Oriko had made earlier.
[break][break]
As the sound came out one could tell Yuudai had never tried anything close before, but even with the terrible attempt at the sound, it would seem that the jutsu had worked. However the activation of the jutsu was only to a very small degree, as the two would soon see that the area around them had only changed a little. Such a small change wouldn’t confuse anyone for long, and would see them find their way in no time.
