Illusion Tag

are scraps of paper infused with -aligned, which possess the ability to transmit an illusion directly into a targets mind, sealing them in a of the wielder's own construction. Unlike most genjutsu, illusions created in this manner cannot be undone without removing the tag from the victim, which can be particularly difficult for an inflicted individual to accomplish if a paralytic element is involved in the performance. Furthermore, these tags can serve as the source of the Bounded Field of Illusions, either as a single core from which the barrier is projected or one of a number of tags used to define a specific boundary. Additionally, if a Illusion Tag is handled by an individual other than the creator, even holding such a tag can inadvertently trigger the release of the sealed illusion. This possibility can be circumvented by performing a traditional "genjutsu dissipation" (幻術解, Genjutsu Kai) the moment the tag is picked up.

Tōshi Ashiya has demonstrated the ability to remotely ensnare targets by combining this technique with the Ashiya-Style Shikigami Technique, using the tags as the core of his familiars. Furthermore, by incorporating such tags with other similar items he's able to lay traps for opponents who try to undo his seals. While he notes that illusions created with this technique are generally designed in advanced, during the chakra infusion process, skilled practitioner are able to modify elements of the illusion upon an afflicted party while it is in progress.
