1. Creation of All Things. This technique isn't present on your list, but I assume that it should be there and that you merely forgot about it. 2. For my character, Shigeo Aizawa 3. Shigeo doesn't learn it as much as he accidentally stumbles into it. Shigeo isn't your average Shinobi, he's a philosopher, born with a particularily severe case of expressive aphasia. Words are what give our existence meaning. Its how we communicate. Without them, we have no voice, no power, nothing. Its a fundamental of our society. The greatest and most influential are almost always those who can give a rallying speech. Words move people, words change people, without them we are nothing. Shigeo questions the very notion of such an idea. If words are the means through which we validate our own existence, then what was he, if nothing more than an illusion? For someone whose lived their life like this, the idea that words may be false, may be untruthful indicates that the validation of ones existence may also be false. Thus, Shigeo is convinced that the world we all live in, is merely an illusion that we all share in. Whenever Shigeo "casts" a genjutsu, he's changing his view on the world, quite like a lucid dreamer. He truly BELIEVES that the world is an illusion, with everything he's got, he thinks, therefore he is, there is nothing else. To Shigeo, those who would deny this are the truly insane ones, because they've chosen to live a life in delusion. Because he deems reality to be an illusion with all his spirit, might and mind, Shigeo discovered an incomplete Version of "Creation of All Things" - he has the ability to Project his view onto the world, and every genjutsu he casts weaves itself into reality as its cast, remaining there for a time.

Itachi said it best.

"Every single one of us lives on and bound by our knowledge and awareness, and we call it "reality". However, both knowledge and awareness are equivocal. One's reality might be another's illusion."

In short, the reason Shigeo discovered it is because of his unique and distorted view on the world around him, and his belief that everything is merely an illusion all of us share. Because it stems from his personal worldview, which in turn is tempered by a lifetime of rejection, insecurities and ignorance - Shigeo would not be capable of teaching it to others even if he tried, nor could anyone use this variation without a similarily warped mind. Most learn genjutsu in order to improve in certain areas, to be better at defending against it or to use it in combat. Shigeo on the other hand learned genjutsu in order to live.

4. At this point, I dare say that this is quite unique already, but I'll go in more depth about this. The way this differs from the canon technique is that this variation is purely Yin-based. Normally this would mean that it should be impossible to use it, since techniques typically require a blend of Yin-Yang in order to have any true effect on the physical world. However, do consider this, if the world is an illusion, then no force would truly be relevant besides Yin. Therefore, this variant allows Shigeo to create yin constructs, quite like the infamous Susanoo. These are real to him, but usually, they vanish over time as the world "corrects" itself.

It's however possible to reinforce Shigeo's "Reality" by acknowledging his work, accepting it and knowing it. In which case, it can be assimilated fully into the greater picture and become permanent. Furthermore, this is not without its limitations. Because he approaches the world like a lucid dreamer, he likewise Works under the same conditions as one, he's so far removed from reality that he's more or less a living phantom. Furthermore most of these yin constructions can do no physical damage to an opponent, they can still injure and potentially kill, but spiritually. Furthermore, while Shigeo might use a Whole slew of different elements, both real and unreal in Battle, any element wouldn't be Complete, it'd be a shadow of that element, he could create a ball of fire, but that fire would emit no heat nor light, it'd still burn, but only because that is correspondent to Shigeo's "idea" of a flame. If you Catch my drift. Anyway, that concludes my Application, if you need answers to some questions I'll be on chat often.
