Azure Lotus Genjutsu

The name given to the generic genjutsu that can be cast by users of the Akiyama Clan's hiden technique. By planting a lotus on the target through physical contact, the user can release their chakra from the lotus into the target, placing them under a genjutsu. The target may feel the location of the lotus on their body as a slight itching, but the user can hide this sensation using the genjutsu if they wish. Once iniated this genjutsu is very difficult to break, as genjutsu dissipation will not work. Severe pain and/or the removal of the lotus is the only known way of undoing the genjutsu, as genjutsu reflection methods will not work, as the lotus is the source of the genjutsu. Removing the rooted lotus is an extremely painful task unless done medically, and it often entails the removal of skin and internal tissue from the body.
