Mirage Kata

The Mirage Kata (みらげ かた,Mirājukata) is a fighting style formed by Gūwa based on the knowledge he gained on how the nervous system responds to chakra via his studies of genjutsu. It's also a leg-based fighting style meant to compensate for his defect.

During combat the practitioner of this style remains in constant motion while projecting their chakra thereby creating the illusion of afterimages. This stance is meant to keep an opponent in a constant state of confusion thereby making it difficult for them to land a solid hit. It also gives them an aura of unpredictability and makes it hard for opponents to read their moves. As the practitioners constantly project their chakra unlike most genjutsu it can't be broken unless the practitioner is knocked out. As only little amounts of chakra are projected, it drains minimal amounts of stamina. The chakra projected serves as a thin smoke screen against sensor-type ninga and dojutsu users capable of seeing chakra. Practitioners of this style rely more on counter attacks and dodging than offense. During the time it takes for an opponent to prepare an attack, Mirage Kata practitioners land a quick, powerful strike and dodge attacks if they leave no room for a counter-attack. This strength is also a weakness as they cannot deal damage without counterattacking and they can be tricked into attacking with feints.
