Genjutsu (learning "Illusionary Technique") are techniques that are employed in the same fahion as ninjutsu, requiring chakra and hand signs. However, the primary difference between the two is that the effects of genjutsu are illusory instead of attacking the vitcum's body, genjutsu techniques manipulate to the flow of chakra in the vitcum's brain, thus causing a disruption in their senses. This is often used to create false images or to cause pain from trauma (because the body is led to believe it is pain) however, there are plenty of other uses depending on the situation.
