    Ningyo meditated before a reproduction Uchiha Altar in miniature. She was practicing visualization, in her inner world she held a red honeycrisp apple wih a virtual hand. The color was a vivid red. She rolled it around in her hands, feeling the shape in her mind's eye. It could be held in her hand and she could feel it's smooth edges and weight.

    A light was reflected upon it's shiny surface. It's stem was brown with a small faded and withered green leaf. Ningyo brought the apple to her nose and smelled, it had a subtle and distinct smell. The apple floated in her hermetic, psychic landscape.

    She bit into the apple with a loud juicy crunch. She chewed and could almost bring herself to taste the imaginary apple distinctly. It was perfectly ripe. She looked at the bite out of the apple which revealed a pale white and soft interior. She took another bite as the small pieces went down her throat. She ate until all that was left was an apple core, with black sticky seeds.

    The seeds were then planted. One planted seed turned into a tree, and another into an Uchiha castle. Above the Uchiha castle hung the bright full moon, with a celestial lunar halo radiating around it. She walked through the mental realmscape towards the Uchiha castle. Once inside she saw a meditating ancestor.

    Her ancestor sat up and stared at Ningyo through black and red eyes that spun and shifted. The ancestor's face was pale, ethereal, and almost ghost-white. He guided Ningyo in the construction of the inner Uchiha castle world, placing various structures and finetuning the system.

    Suddenly other ancestral spirits arrived and seemed to noiselessly chant. The vibration of he silent chants began to take on physical form, shaking, and fabricating the inner dreamscape of Ningyo's castle.

    She breathed deep and floated on a red cloud. She opened her hand and found that she held a black pearl. The Uchiha elders of future-past looked at her noiselessly, their auras burning with subtle, endless black flames.

    They whispered to her a memory to be locked into the black pearl

    Ningyo opened her eyes and saw the gentle incense of wafting before her. She had forgotten the secret.

    Ningyo sat in the stillness of the isolation tank. The tank was filled with salt water creating a buoyancy just right so that Ningyo floated on the surface of he water. Electrodes were placed on the sides of her head.

    The voice of the Director crackled over an audio system within the tank. "it has been 15 minutes. you should be beginning to feel the effects of the truth serum." The voice was right, the accompanying visual stimuli and patterning was weaving into Ningyo's mind. She could feel the dosage of the drug in her organs.

    Suddenly a light flashed on within the surface of the top of tank, illuminating a sort of mirror that reflected Ningyo's floathing body. "You see before you Alice." the voice echoed. Ningyo's malleable and hypnotized mind responded, she saw in the mirror the image of Alice, her long blonde hair, her stockings and blue dress with white apron.

    Ningyo frowned, surprised by the Alice reflection. The Alice in the mirror frowned in response. "Take what you see in the mirror." The image in the overhead mirror flickered, and then returned even stronger. Ningyo could feel the disorienting emotions in the mirror. The drug produced a mosaic effect, fractalizing the images.

    The Alice mirror shifted in consistency to a form of elastic liquid metal, a drop reverberating from within it descending toward Ningyo. She felt as if her self extended out into all directions. The boundaries of her skin seemed to disappear amd the stars in the universe seemed to twinkle around her, reflected in the mirror. Ningyo felt her consciousness expand towards the limits of known space.

    Suddenly a torturous white noise began to filled the tank. The liquid mirror caught flames that dropped sparks onto Ningyo's exposed flesh floating in the water and her Alice reflection grabbed the sides of her head in horror. Alice lay suspended in a world of molten lava and flame.

    The electrodes were activated and Ningyo felt the cattle prod current run through her brain. The mirror flashed with electrocution. The Director's electronic voice could be heard in back-mask, programming her with various occult numbers. Once through the disembodied voice commanded, "Blink three times Alice."

    Ningyo blinked three times.

    Successful use of Genjutsu depended on a shinobi's ability to lure the opponent into the inner mindscape of the user. Once fascinated, the enemy must be fed sensory information that simulates their original reality.

    Ningyo meditated. Tantamount to progression in her genjutsu abilities was her mastery over and awareness of the five senses. Ningyo sat, attempting to focus in total stillness for a long period.

    At first, she could only stand to sit for a short while at best. She grew irritable and had to shift position, or wanted to get up. Her reactive, unfocussed mind ruled. But through consistent dedication she was able to extend herself by sitting for consecutive hours and strengthen her discipline. Stillness meditation focused on the five senses, sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. The first step to fabricating believable counterfeit realities was perceiving true reality as it is.

    This required keen and disciplined perception and razor sharp awareness, as well as a deeply calm and immobile mind. Ningyo stared off into the distance, her mind in a trance state. She took in all of the sensory data with equanimity.

    She absorbed what she saw before her. The simple white tile of the grand training facility. It's walls and upper railing. The stone statue of the Ram handseal. If she closed her eyes could she recreate this image? If so, to what accuracy? Ningyo sat for a while longer and then closed her eyes.

    Inside her inner world she tried to focus on recreating what she saw outside. She tried to visualize the white tile of the training facility.

    Everything was dark with her eyes closed, different from the light outside. In the darkness she willed into existence one tile, then slowly others. The white tiles swirled and disappeared, defying her ability to keep them still. Even when concentrating for long periods a single image had the tendency to warp and deteriorate.

    She focused harder, isolating a single white tile in a sea of darkness. She then extended the image, and a floor stretched out before her. Hazily the roof, ceiling and walls came into crisp focus. Using concentration she was able to generate a replica mental landscape. It was as if the less she thought about it the easier it was to create. She needed to tap into a part of her mind beyond thinking.

    Suddenly the floor and walls warped and frayed again, as she lost concentration. Her visualization became unstable and collapsed.

    Ningyo continued her meditation training. She sat in the lotus position. Not only would she master meditation, but she was determined to unlock the secrets of genjutsu.

    Ningyo returned to her senses. She waited in stillness, stalking the senses. She didn't add anything to what she experienced, nor did she react to her sensations. She just tried her best to focus her mental capabilities on everything she heard.

    Outside she could hear birds chirping, a gentle whir of the electric lights. If she listened intensely she could even hear the breeze outside the training facility.

    The sounds didn't pull her from her center, but rather she, like a scientist, cultivated a thorough and unbiased analysis of the soundform. She could sense that there was another reality behind these sounds, a sort of blank canvas, a deeper silence.

    She continued to meditate. Perspiration beginning to trickle on her brow. Once in mediation for long periods, everything began to become annoying. Ningyo persevered, she must forge her mind to conquer these obstacles and achieve heightened awareness so as to cast and peer through the veils of illusory realities.

    She returned to cataloging the sensations. Within the darkness of her mind she tried to recreate the sounds she heard. She cast out an echoing replication of the sound of chirping birds.

    She focused and tried again as the bird sounds echoed and modulated in her mind. She cast the inner bird sounds outward, her telepathy gluing itself to the outside world.

    She tried casting her voice. "Hey" she thought/said. The sound was hazy and malformed, but she wondered if she wasn't alone if others wouldn't be able to hear it. She cast the telepathic voice again with a convincing "Hey!" It seemed to echo and bounce around the room for longer this time before fading.

    She receded now into quiet contemplation of the sounds around her. In her normal everyday awareness these sounds passed Ningyo by, but here in mediation, each sound (even the smallest pindrop) seemed magnified, able to absorb the totality of her awareness. A sort of synesthesia emerged, where she could see the sculpture of the sounds, the color.

    Maybe the senses were related in an underlying way, and this could help in the construction of realities.

    She continued to meditate, her hands folded in her lap, and sat without affecting things for a long time. She simply focused, taking in sensory information and maintaining a balanced and aware mind state. As she continued to practice her aim would be to make the worlds of her imagination as keenly mimick the real world as she possibly could.

    Ningyo sat in the training centre, sitting again in silent meditation. She gently breathed in using her focus to pinpoint a microscopic spot below her nose. Above her lips and below her nose, in this small triangular area, Ningyo would focus her attention as she breathed inward and outward, watching the gentle current of her respiration.

    This was a basic awareness meditation technique. It's practice was fundamental in developing a single-pointed focus which could lead to the discernment of sensations on the body and even chakra circulation and control.

    The aim was to stay 'equanimous' or unbiased in the regristry, or the simple awareness of sensory phenomena. By staying 'non-attached' further development/noticing of finer details would be possible.

    After warming up with this insight excersise for an hour or so, conquering her mind's natural restlessness, Ningyo progressed into a body scan. The body scan ran from the tip of the head to the feet and back, noticing the various sensations on the surface of the body. Again, emphasis was placed on non-attached discernment, of registering the sensations as they were.

    Certain sensations arose and passed away, but training the mind to scan these sensations helped to increase focus, develop one's wilpower, build the chakra network and quicken the response pathways, and last, it was also applicable to genjutsu, in recreating the sensations for illuson landscapes.

    For an illusion to be thoroughly successful, it's shaper had to infiltrate the mind of the opponent and gently manipulate their senses. The brain of the victim, caught in the web of genjutsu, must be entrained with palovian response. The phenomena they saw, should reflect what it was likely for them to see, what they heard, if caught in a convincing illusion, would reflect what they were likely to hear. The same went for all of the senses, of which it was necesary for the illusionist to manipulate.

    The adept manipulation of the senses aside from the saturation of the brain in genjutsu chakra, necesitated the subtle fabrication of believable alien stimuli. The more nuanced and detailed, the more similar to reality, the more suceptible the target.

    Ningyo worked again to recreate these elements in her inner landscape. She began adding the visual component, the sight stimulus of the training facility from the perspective of the target. Then she layered in various sounds, which she recreated from memory. Then she added smell, a delicate and advanced detail, and then finally, she added touch, the data which the victim's somatic system would register, the feel of their clothes, the weight of their stance or even a draft through the room.

    The final product was a sort of memory palace, a place where the mind could inhabit. The closer the dream mirrored reality, the more 'artistic' one could say the illusion was. Ningyo continued using her chakra to bolster and reestablish the structure artificial world. With her eyes closed, within her inner landscape Ningyo could see with clarity a world in simile. The room of the training facility was recreated from memory in perfect detail. She gently banished the illusion and opened her eyes, scanning the room indifferently to notice any differences. Once finished she began to breathe life into the simulated environment again.

    Ningyo sat in meditation, she had read that the meditation state was a theta brainwave state. This same brain frequency was the same frequency that memories and dreams existed on. Somewhere below waking consciousness but above deep sleep.

    If Ningyo was going to master casting genjutsu in batttle, and using it to her advantage effectively, as well as detecting what could potentially be an extremely subtle difference between reality and illusion, she needed to meditate. She decided it was important to master brainwave states, and to be able to bring her mind into any necessary brainwave state at will.

    She had been keeping a dream diary alongside her intense meditation. After all, the images and characters in dreams were somewhat like illusions, and she could save time by practicing crafting and altering vivid illusions in her sleep.

    Ningyo practiced altering her brainwave state. Her eyes flickered with a light R.E.M. pattern as her brainwave state changed. In this trance, Ningyo's regular consciousness was suspended, and she entered a dreamier consciousness.

    This dream-like trance helped her to actualize the illusions more readily and vividly. Within the landscape of her dream, Ningyo replicated the Konoha grand training facility. The squares of the white tile floor spread out in the darkness, the large grey stone walls and Ram handseal statue.

    Within her genjutsu she added sounds, the background noises, the chirping of birds, little splashes of nuanced color, to make the dream more believable.

    The mental energy that the creation of genjutsu used up was lessened by breaking the dream threshold. In a twilight zone, not yet asleep but not fully waking, the latent energies of the subconscious were available. The altering of the simulated world became more fluid and second natured.

    Now Ningyo would try placing herself within the dream-world. The same techniques of perception and attention to detail that was needed for the bunshin clone could also be used here. She sculpted her double, a vivid and lifelike twin. She concentrated on the eyes and nose of her self portrait, and then descended to her clothes and body making sure everything was a complete duplicate.

    The practice of this alone could take hour, but when Ningyo felt she had created a convincing copy of herself she then set her concentration on making it move around.

    The difficulty of maintaining the structure of the grand training facility, the structure of a perfect clone and making it move was too much concentration energy even for Ningyo in the theta brainwave state. The illusion begin to collapse, first with the compression of her self portrait and then with the swirling of the room. The psychic destabilization isotoped inwards upon itself and the meta-scape convulsed.

    The whole dream vacuum swirled inwards upon itself and Ningyo "returned" to her body, sitting in the lotus position with her eyes closed. She could not help but feel a small amount of frustration, she would have to meditate to replentish her mental reserves and then try to practice again.

    Ningyo took a deep breath, all of her training up until this moment was merely play. Today, she had set a new goal, she had caught a small glipse of the skills of Airi in the field, and what she had seen had outclassed Ningyo's own modest abilities by far.

    It was time to push the threshold of human limits or die trying to. She needed to become faster. She was already fairly fast, but she could tell that another level of speed was beyond the proverbial horizon. She had let herself plateau here at the human level. She needed to do more.

    NIngyo strapped the shin length ergonomic ankle weights to her legs. It was a brute force method for training, one that could even do damage to an undeveoped body, but Ningyo was prepared to acheive results, and was convinced she could handle the pressure. She tied her headband around her head with a look of determination.

    Then she began her drills, she started out with a set of footwork excersises, sliping her feet between the cones. Then some shuttle runs, then some high jumps. The key was to practice perfect form, and then work her way up, building more and more speed.

    Ningyo wanted her technique to be flawless, she didn't want to go back and have to polish something up later.

    The weights weren't as heavy as Ningyo imagined they were going to be, but Ningyo did feel the resistance. Ningyo tried a shuttle run again, doing a relay at separate intervals. She did a shunshin for 50m.

    Using shunshin, Ningyo could definitely feel the drag of the ankle weights, in fact it was probably dangerous to shunshin with the weights on. She could tear her muscles.

    Secretly, Ningyo wanted to work with her bodyweight and worn weights only. She didn't mind having tone legs, but she didn't want the body of a bodybuilder. training was important, but so were aesthetics. Thankfully, the weights made micro-tears in the body, and muscle. The results could be powerful, and not even make visually noticeable changes in the body. These wearable weights were usually the domain of taijutsu freaks.

    I guess I'll have to wear them all the time. thought Ningyo. She began a set of soccer drills again. crossing, pivoting and striding in a pattern of fancy footwork. She would have to make this routine a second habit.

    Ningyo wiped her brow, sweat bore down the side of her head and beneath the headband. She wiped the sweat away and continued. The meditation training she had finished could help her here. She stayed neutral to the pain in her lungs, she remained aware of the pain in her legs. Just because the pain was there didn't mean she needed to succumb to the pain.

    She was master of her body! She drove beyond the desire to quit training. "I'm not finished! I'm going to push my limit!" her energy soared as she raced back and forth across the grand Konoha training facility. A small wake of dust whipped up in her stead.

    Ningyo ran around the village. It seemed ridiculous, but there really wasn't any better way to improve her long distance speed and cardio and use the wearable weights better. She had been keeping the weights on regularly, even going so far as to sleep with them on. They had torn the muscles of her legs and she had had to learn to heal with the weights on.

    The long distance running around the village could appear to some as disturbing. Her new approach had been to simplify, to focus on one attainable goal and consistently put forth the effort to achieve it no matter the cost. The legs weights had become a second nature, as they were intended to be, and though the training was difficult to complete, those who had reached the other side were said to incrementally increase speed.

    Ningyo continued jogging, on and on. She grew tired, but she knew that she needed to keep jogging. Her mantra had remained one of continuous focus, a relentless pursuit of her goal.

    She had been seen regularly, doing the wide lap around the city of Konoha. Some of the people had become familiar with her. The villagers found her behaviour odd, but some waved nicely as she made her way around. The village guard team had noticed her as he route was essentially close to the perimeter wall.

    It really wasn't her concern if they didn't understand. They weren't in the pursuit of excellence. Perhaps the village guards had grown comfortable just on guard duty. In fact, Ningyo didn't think the about others at all (it was the least of her worries). A few understood her extreme behavior and rooted for her. She was going the distance

    As she circuabulated the wall, the pain had become a constant dull prescense, her limbs felt like stone. She was in a battle against her very own mind for control. As the sun went down she continued. Her fuel was burning on empty. But she was still striving, fighting for speed. What was she running from? Did she know at this point? did it matter? The same thing we were all running from. Doubt, remorse. She hugged the turns.

    The rhythmic pounding of her footsteps was like a drumbeat from an ancient world. The fatigue threatened to consume her. But she knew her limits, (quite simply she had none), her limits would give definition to limitless. The specifics blurred without continuity. She had maintained her pace.

    Was she turning into the finishing lap, the finishing turn. She ran as far as she could and then collapsed into the sand. Her mouth was dry. She gasped for air. She pressed herself back up. Her arm on her knees. The leg weights were unbearable. She wondered if she had pushed herself too far, there wasn't really time to consider that now.

    She rose to her feet and "got back on the horse" continuing her jog at a slow pace.

    Ningyo entered the Grand Training Facility. This is were the top level ninja trained. She noticed a really muscular ninja who trained alot, and another Jounin ranked ninja who was really good with lightning jutsu and fire jutsu (popular in Leaf). Lots of high ranking and talented ninja, way beyond Ningyo's Genin rank, trained here.

    But, this only meant Ningyo needed to continue to put in the effort. Her training and mission regimen was pretty dense for a Genin, and she was also preparing for the upcoming Chuunin exams in less than a year. A year was a long time, but Ningyo realized that she needed to train like no tomorrow to prepare.

    Excellence left no time to waste. Idleness was death in the ninja world. While you weren't training, your opponent in another village was.

    Ningyo tethered the bungie cord to her waist. She did some testing to see if her idea would work. She marked off a shuttle run path in the grand training facility. This way, the further she got from the wall the bungi cord was tethered to, the greater resistance she would get as she ran.

    She she started sprinting like crazy for the first 10m the line was slack but at about 30m the resistance set in. and at 60m she was being drug backwards as she was running forwards.

    Combining this technique with the weights, it was like running in quicksand.

    She gave up and ran back towards the wall slackening the line.

    She stood in a sprinters starting position, and then tried again. She ran until she hit the resistance area, around 65m, here if she ran at full speed it felt like she was running in place.

    That was when something snapped in her head. She actually began to enjoy the difficulty of training. Instead of resisting the pain she found some part of her mind that enjoyed it. She ran until she let the bungie cord drag her backwards, If she could feel her legs she was certain they would be in agony.

    She slid back into the starting position. She made the Tiger handseal and ran into a shunshin, sending a shockwave through the bungie line. It was actually pretty stupid, and Ningyo could feel the already shredded muscles in her legs melt even more. She stood still at the 75 mark.

    She activated her sharingan so she could see a little better. With each footfall her feet were actually being drug backwards. Staying here at 75m meant that she must continually increase her speed just to stay still, not decrease it or sprint in place even at the same rate.

    Despite her maximum effort her body began to be drug back, inch by inch, meter by meter, regardless of how fast or how far she extended her legs. "Fuck" she finally conceded. It was difficult. She collapsed face first on the ground, back at her strting position. Sweat poured through her face and body. Her heartbeat echoed in her head. Her legs were shaking from pain. She took a deep breath and slowly pulled herself up, her arms shaking and barely holding her up.

    One more she thought, focussing her chakra, her stamina, finding her will the little voice in her head that said do. She plummeted into the shuttle run, the 40m line, the 60m line, at the 65m line she became stuck in the resistance. She ran faster, slowly increasing. The elastic band pulled but she defied.

    She hit the 65, the 70m line until she collapsed and was drug back to the starting position.

    Ninja Art: Shuriken Giant Body:

    Ningyo practiced a new technique, the Ninja Art: Shuriken Giant Body. The name seemed self explanatory enough. Ningyo started learning the technique with some small shuriken. She threw a small shuriken and used the Rabbit - Tiger - Dog handseals. The shuriken became the size of a giant shuriken, and moved at great speed over the clearing where NIngyo practiced.

    Ningyo then tried with the Fuuma shuriken. She unfurled the shuriken easily and it spun in her hand. Ningyo found it easy and intuitive to manipulate the Fuuma shuriken. She then gracefully released the shuriken from her hand with a deft motion of her wrist.

    Ningyo used the Rabbit - Tiger - and Dog seals and focused her chakra remotely into the shuriken. It expanded and grew ten times it's original size, the size of a small UFO. Like a whirling lawnmower blade it pulverized several trees, if only by sheer size alone.

    Ningyo marveled at the technique. The effect wasn't very inconspicuous, but Ningyo would remember it and the handseals. She naturally picked up on rhythmic timing of the jutsu, unfurling and throwing, performing the seals/chakra concentration, and then enlarging the shuriken. It seemed like a nice balanced technique to add to her repertoire.

    Bel RIng Genjustu:

    Ningyo ran wire through a series of free floating bell objects. Today she would practice a very active sort of combat Genjutsu. She was already adept at using manipulated wire shuriken, and the bells could add another element to this trap. She threw the kunai and the spools of wire unfurled wildly with a wrapping sound. The bells came sliding behind them. When the kunai landed in their targets Ningyo plucked the wire, channeling her chakra through the thread.

    The bells created a sharp dissonant tone, warping the visual field of the areas around them as them as they vibrated. The sound was meant to travel to the brain and give the opponent a sort of double vision.

    Ningyo threw more kunai, and the pattern she produced was a sort of spider web, she plucked again and the bells emitted a harsh, dissonant, annoying sound. Apparently, once she had disoriented her opponent with this she could follow up with another attack.

    This technique seemed mostly harmless to add to her repertoire. Maybe one day it would come in handy for her to disorient an opponent in order to successfully capture or setup the right moment to land the killing stroke.

    This would be the first week Ningyo had worn the weighted clothing on her legs. Every activity she engaged in seemed to require more effort. Even making her way (running) to the KGTF was an effort. She hadn't realized that the added exertion would effect her metabolism. She hoped that, whatever she was doing to her legs, she wouldn't injure them. Maybe soon she would grow accustomed to the weighted clothing, for now, she tried not to limp.

    She started out with speed trials, 100m dashes. She did relays back and forth. Then she tried zig zags. It was better to practice zig zagging motions because for one; you could generate short bursts of speed, and for two, when approaching an enemy in a combat scenario you rarely approached head on. Zig zags help create evasive, diversionary movements.

    She emphasized refining her footwork. The weights encouraged the use of less energy, the careful economization of movements to produce the quickest reactions. She was forced to adapt and bear the weight.

    After this Ningyo started into some drills, she stepped in and out of a ladder, and practiced footwork around cones. Speed, agility could be increased through repitions of these sorts of excersises. Then she used a tennis ball against the wall, to hone her  dodging skills and create nimbleness in unpredictable situations.

    She tried sprint and stop drills, going from a high speed to a sudden stop, then turning back the other way. As usual she performed these exercises with an almost autistic determination. Repeating them over and over with no consideration for her body.

    When she finally became so tired that she could not run any longer she did some flexibility. Stretching, touching her toes and collapsing her body helped the pain in her calves. Ningyo felt that her legs would be okay. Ningyo wasn't of the philosophy that you didn't want to overtrain. Ningyo wanted to overtrain, she would become faster or die trying. She pushed her limits to the brink and beyond.

    She began again with the agility ladder, this time running through it forward as well as backwards. She tried crossover steps. While certain ways of training may have seemed silly, Ningyo needed to find out for herself what worked.

    After all, she had no teacher, there was nobody responsible for her training, and if she was going to sink or swim it was going to be based on her own hard work.

    Genjutsu Kai:

    Ningyo made the Handseal and focused on her brain. If she understood how Genjutsu Kai worked then learning the technique should be pretty simple. Only, she wasn't under the effects of any Genjutsu, so how would she know if it worked? The idea made her a little nervous but she would just have to practice it a lot. She concentrated the chakra in her brain, and while using the handseal flushed her brain of chakra.

    The technique did give her a sort of almost euphoric rush and seemed to aid in her mental clarity for a moment. Suddenly there was a sort of ripple in her field of vision and her brain sort of reset. She wondered if too much Genjutsu Kai could be bad for someone. Regardless she performed the technique again, taking the steps necessary to make it second nature.

    She needed to be able to learn to recognize, and rid herself of the silent and deadly killer of Genjutsu. She didn't want to rely on the Sharingan, but felt that if she mastered all the techniques of normal shinobi then the Sharingan could be used at it's highest potential. The Genjutsu: Kai was a fundamental move, and one she was glad to know.

    Couldn't sleep at night because of a very strange and pervasive lucid dream. She dreamt there was a man with arrested development. He was an artist that wanted absolute power and control so he created his own dream realm. Ningyo had began eating up his will to power. Ningyo was able to do this because the will to power is always very juvenile, which makes it predictable. She could move easily through the dream because of her training in Genjutsu and because of the programmed information in her mind files.

    The narcissistic, failed artist dreamed he was the chairman of a dream corporation. His fantasy and arrested development forced him to hold onto the dream. Ningyo visualized her body. The simple visualization of her body was dream training. Here in the land of dreams Ningyo was the shaper of dreams, and could imagine anything she wanted without limitation.

    She dreamnt of large baby dolls. Confetti. Inside she opened an infinite gateway to her unconscious. She dreamnt of a dream language. Because time moved slower in the dream world, she would estimate that she had a long, long time before she woke up.

    Then came the strange part of the dream. She dreamnt she was a secret agent, and that she constantly had to change disguises. She dreamnt that she was encoded with certain controls that dictated her actions, including her memories. AS she changed disguises she went through a revolving glass door, with each new disguise her memory and personality changed.

    Her vision became hazy, she could see the tenuous connection to the dream realm. The world seemed to be made up of computer code. The computer code of dream language. Ningyo could decipher the dream codes and even reprogram them instinctually.

    In the secret agent movie dream life was a series of interconnected events. It included drops, secret messages, money in briefcases, get aways, assassinations. In the end the life of a secret agent, in a sense the pursuit of perfection, wasn't about the power you could grasp. It was about running the razor thin wire and navigating the elaborate maze, the expression of espionage.  

    The dream language was woven into the fabric of everything here in the dream world. Now that Ningyo had lucidity she continued to manipulate her dream. She followed the blue butterfly, she knew that by the unravelling of Nabakov's riddle she could awaken within her dream's dream.

    In her dream she trained at the KGTF, she dreamnt that she was wearing weights, but interestingly, the weights didn't slow her down at all. Clouds of dust came off of her heels as she dreamnt of training. "May as well train in my dreams" she thought as she bent the feeble laws of reality here.

    She jumped and as she jumped she flipped in lightning fast ways, seemingly contorting the laws of physics. She jumped from a very high building and as she fell through the clouds flipped her way through a construction maze of rigging. Then she moved back towards the side of the building, running along the edge.

    The level of her clarity was crisp, and it seemed the more clarity, the more control she had over her dream and actions.

    Ningyo woke up. She went over to the window to brew some tea. She thought about how short a human life was. How there were literally hundreds of people in the world, and they all had such short human lives, and when they died, they were erased from reailty forever. In a sense did they ever really exist?

    She tasted the pomegranate tea she drank. It was warm and delicious. She looked down at the weights on her ankles which seemed light as a feather. She hopped onto the ceiling, crouching. Did she exist now? If she was going to die at some point in the future and, because otthers would cease to see her she would cease to exist, then in a sense did she exist at all now?

    She looked at her feeble scarred pale arms. Did these beautiful arms, capable of murder, did these arms exist at all? She walked from her cieling to the walls back down to the floor.

    If she didn't exist then the only real purpose to life was the excitation of her senses. She leap into the city of Konoha and did parkour. She ran along the sides of buildings, I'm moving so fast so easily I might need more weights, she thought.

    The city of Konoha warped as if it existed within a fisheye lens. She could jump from one rooftop to another easily. As she freefell from building to building she luxuriated in the perfection of her venusian body, the exaltation of her form and the embodiment of perfection in matter.

    She was so relaxed she felt as though she occupied a morphine snow globe. She watched as she fell in slow motion, twisting into several aerial somersaults. Using her chakra she performed feats of parkour, gravity defying twists. She played ballet on the concrete jungle of the hidden cybervilage of leaf.

    She realized that she must have never woken up, that she was probably still inside the dream. Being inside the dream was probably a very effective was to train. Here she was constantly training Genjutsu. To prove this point she made a fish in the air. She created this by the will of her mind, etching a fish into the very fabric of reality in front of her. The fish swam through the air as if it was in the ocean.

    She looked down at the ground and created the pavement she stood on. This was probably the firmware of the reality but nevertheless, she was creating it. The more she focussed in on the details the greater her abilities of perception became.

    She created a yin and yang sign before her. She saw telephone poles, with wires, she saw windows in apartments and buildings with japanese writing. She took a deep breath, breathing the energy of the world in and growing larger. She condensed herself back to normal size but became more refined. She was sure a very short time had passed here in the dream.

    These Genjutsu states could probably be used to hold business meetings they are so convenient. she thought.

    Hiding in Shadows Technique:

    Ningyo made the Tiger handseal. A darkness crept over her material form. She was eclipsed in shadow. She ran gently through the night. The silhouettes and shadows passing over her. In darkness she was camouflaged like a stray cat. Moving through the trees and foliage stalking her prey she anticipated moment she would strike forth from the shadows.

    If someone was looking they would perhaps see a shaking bush or falling leaf. The sounds of wild animals. Ningyo could be completely still, here, her own shadow could appear to warp. She blended her self in with her dark surroundings, monitoring even her breath. She crawled across the grass slowly. She blended in with the nightlife, the world of flora and fauna around her. She was another creature, crawling it's way through the forest undetected.

    Undetected and silent, she could if she wanted to, be a person who wasn't even there. A ghost. This technique will be useful in operations, thought NIngyo. In a way I have been training to reach this point, now that I have learned this trick and combined it with controlled movement I am on my way to true stealth and invisibility.

    Even in an urban area, she could be the sound of a bottle falling over, a creaky ladder. The flash of a pair of wild eyes from a shadowed alley.

    Hazy Genjutsu:


    Ningyo concentrated, performing the Ram and Tiger handseals with a rhythmic precision. She visualized an image of the world through the bottom of a shot glass. With her chakra now imprinted with this manipulated perspective, it flowed outward. The illusion was subtle but also potent. The image would travel from her chakra into the brains of others. The idea was that once the effect was triggered it would act in slow release distorting the vision of an opponent. It wasn't a horrible Genjutsu, and Ningyo was methodically picking up anything of use.

    She generated an image of quicksand. With subtle hypnotic triggers this could also be implanted in the mind. The quicksand transfixed the opponent with a helpless feeling, and impaired their ability to move.

    With continued practice remote and subtle influence of the neural pathways was possible. The trick could be used to disoriented an adversary inducing dizziness and vulnerability. Ningyo's commitment to mastering Genjutsu was unwavering, evident in her dedication to polishing these techniques to a flawless standard. She saw them not just as skills but as instruments to gain a tactical edge in a real life combat scenario, providing her with the means to incapacitate foes with finesse.

    Hiding in Surface:

    Ningyo made the Ram handseal and concentrated her chakra. Doing that she was able to melt into the walls behind her. A thin mesmerizing membrane began to coat the surface of her skin. Her body changed to consist of an almost permeable substance and she slowly took on the very shape of the wall, assimilating herself into the physical matter. The color of her skin changed to match the color of the paint on the wall, and she submerged, until she was nothing but the wall itself.

    Of course, those looking through the eyes of a developed Sharingan, or other doujutsu techniques, would be able to see the impressions of chakra or the chakra circulatory system, depending on the doujutsu or sensory technique.

    Slowly her body merged with the very wall itself, and she becoming indistinguishable as she slowly passed through solid matter. She could continue travelling through the walls, albeit very slowly.

    The jutsu was another utility jutsu, nothing flashy. It was many in a long line of technical jutsu that made a great shinobi. In real world scenarios it paid off to have a diverse skillset. The jutsu was also quiet, which created an added benefit. There were dozens of applications, sneaking up from behind, taking strategic advantage, listening in undetected.

    NIngyo shot her knees up like pistons into high knee positions. She did jumping jacks. She was preparing for more high intensity interval training. This involved short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest. The wearable weights were secured around her legs. They had almost become a part of her. Ningyo began, sprinting at maximum speed across the open field, Ningyo's movements were nearly at the level of imperceptible flashes. She strained, pushing beyond her limits. After each sprint she rested briefly, allowing her body to recover before the next onslaught.

    After this she focussed on plyometric exercises, performing explosive high speed movements to build power and agility. Box jumps tested her ability to generate force, the weighted legwarmers amplifying the challenge. Lunges with explosive jumps and burpees demanded both strength and cardiovascular endurance. Each controlled landing and explosive takeoff strained her muscles in ways that traditional exercises couldn't replicate. The intensity of the session brought a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration.

    Ningyo retained a laser pointed hyperfocus. It was exhausting work, the nature of the workout was designed to bring someone to the point where  they would become unable to continue. The cadence of her breath synchronized with the rhythm of the training.

    With sweat streaming down her face, Ningyo pushed through. She used the weights to resist as she jumped through the air. The idea was that this would help her jump higher.

    She performed the relay shuttle runs she usually practiced for speed.

    She did handstand springs into flips. As she handstand frontflipped repeatedly across the gym, it was as if she was decreasing her reliance on the ground itself, and increasing a sort of autonomous mobility. It was truly a sight to behold and Ningyo didn't quit. When the weights were taken off she would truly be a force of nature.

    Sly Mind Affect Technique:

    Ningyo made the Tiger handseal. Spreading the subtle influence of her chakra within a range of 80m she could play with the minds of those entrained by the jutsu. This manifested it's influence as a change in the users sense of location and spatial positional awareness. By slightly effecting their sense of direction, victims could be made to walk in circles, perpetually being fed the virtual illusion that the right direction was just around the corner.

    It required little chakra to maintain and once the opponent was captured within, was difficult to escape, as they continuously perceive that they are moving forward. Eventually this could disorient and exhaust opponents. It can be difficult to make out their mistake as they walk on and on in circles, really going nowhere.  

    NIngyo found that the Genjutsu was rather simple to reproduce, she merely needed to observe and replicate the landscape surrounding her/the victim. Once the landscape was thoroughly and methodically observed and refabricated within the mind, she implanted the image of a moving landscape into the brain of the opponent. The opponent essentially was walking on an illusory treadmill, believing the data fed by NIngyo's jutsu.

    Demonic Illusion: False Surrounding Technique:

    Ningyo trained another in a series of surrounding altering Genjutsu. Because of her ability trained in learning the Sly Mind Affect technique, performing the Demonic Illusion: False Surrounding Technique was made simpler. A similar set of skills was used, first memorizing an area by acutely perceiving the visual stimuli. Secondly implanting the visual data into the mind of an opponent thereby giving them a false impression of their surroundings.

    Without using handseals, Ningyo released a small amount of chakra into an area of 100m, the illusion was so subtle it activated simply by the enemy being in this general area. Ningyo then practiced sculpting the very fabric of the imaginary surrounding. Of course the most detailed, the more accurate the false picture, the more likely the opponent would fall into the mindscape's web and the more difficult the illusion was to escape.

    Thusly, shifting the surrounding and accuracy was important. Slowly but surely, NIngyo's imaginary/false sensory stimuli would replace the enemy shinobi's supposed true perception of the actual world. Once they fell like Odysseus tied to the mast, into the maw of the psychic siren song, they were more vulnerable to whatever came next, be it swift assassination or otherwise.

    Flash Step:

    Ningyo held her Kunai. She focussed briefly, and then rocketed forward slashing her target (a wooden practice log) quickly and succinctly. So this is the "Flash Step" she thought. A high speed close range attack that emphasized straightforward movement.

    NIngyo loved techniques like this and even if the Flash Step itself was relatively simple, she would cherish it's simplicity as a fundamental move, to be integrated and combined into a greater moveset.

    While practicing the Flash Step, she gently rocked into the dashing moment with a relaxed body. Once she channeled her chakra into speed, small nearly instantaneously appearing and disappearing action lines emanated from the ground. The straight line of her movement appeared as a blur-like streak, nearly invisible, before stopping abruptly and simultaneously striking the log in one fell motion, chipping away at the wooden target.

    Once she felt that she had internalized the basic form of the Flash Step, she tried switching, holding her Kunai to in a reverse grip, the blade facing outward from the base of her palm. Using her backhanded grip she was already somewhat bastardizing the strict forms of the move, adapting it into something more stylish.

    Flash Dance:

    Ningyo held her Kunai in reverse grip, the next iteration of the jutsu would involve performing three Flash Steps in quick succession in a controlled triangular movement. While this appeared on the surface somewhat challenging, Ningyo felt she had developed sufficient skill in the Flash Step to move to the next level, the "Flash Dance".

    She prepared briefly focusing. In the next instant she shuttled towards the wooden target, at this speed her vision blurred. She struck quickly as she passed. For a split second she could be visible again, as she pivoted at a 60 degree angle, turning into the next Flash Step, and striking again. Finally she turned the last time, making the complete trajectory of a precise equilateral triangle as she dashed again into the final Kunai strike, leaving her at her exact starting location.

    After so many successive high speed movements, Ningyo noticed the she felt briefly vulnerable after the attack, as she rushed to catch her breath. The combination of footwork and coordinated strikes at high speeds was satisfying. Whatever she thought about the jutsu itself, the movements were the building blocks of more advanced movements. Surely beautiful moves like this had some purpose, if only in their evolution into more complex maneuvers.

    Lost Soul:

    Ningyo created the doll construct in her mind, adequately sculpting all the features. While this technique was a little haunting and perverse it would serve to train Ningyo's Genjutsu abilities. It was apparently developed to scare children.

    She added the finishing touches to her double including it's doll-like blank face and placed it behind her in an illusory psychic world with surprising clarity.

    The end result; anyone looking at Ningyo's body would see the scary ghostly-white doll apparition behind her, complete with an expressionless masque. The practical purpose of such a technique Ningyo wasn't sure of but once it's training was finished she could file it away with her various Genjutsu abilities.

    Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades:


    With her Tomoe 1 activated, NIngyo made multiple high speed movements, releasing a barrage of kunai and shuriken as she did so. Wire shuriken Bukijutsu was NIngyo's bread and butter, something she practiced everyday. Today she was mastering an Uchiha Clan jutsu created by ancestors after her own style.

    The preliminary shuriken and kunai were decoys, angling the opponent into being wrapped up by the second volley of manipulated projectiles. As the wire attached kunai were induced to arc around the opponent, NIngyo would pull them tight, binding them to some secure object, like a pillar or tree.

    Ningyo enjoyed the adaptability of this technique. It was improvisational and never the same twice, relying on enemy movements and surrounding terrain. It's development and execution relied on matching the movements and staying a step ahead of your opponent aswell as the high speed tracking of the Tomoe 1 Sharingan.

    The wires threaded through Ningyo's fingers as she drifted through midair and the windmill shurikens were guided around the object securing the dummy she was practicing with tightly to the post.

    There was a limit to how well this technique could be mastered without a moving target and Ningyo was anxious for her chance to use it action.
