Uchūgenjutsu

Uchūgenjutsu (宇宙幻術, Cosmic Illusion Techniques) are techniques that casts illusions on the target through use of Cosmic Energy. Unlike conventional Genjutsu, it doesn't require Yin Release or any chakra from that manner, as it uses the cosmic energy the target "takes up" to ensnare them in an illisuion. Also unlike normal genjutsu, Uchugenjutsu can be quite real depending on the one in question being used. For instance, Heikougenjitsu traps the target within a parallel reality for a period of time, making all experiences quite real, depending on its use, while Utakatamuu simply paralyzes the target while disabling their use of any type of power source for a duration of time.

While genjutsu users manipulate the chakra within the targets mind to control their senses to make them experience their illusion, Uchugenjutsu directly manipulates the targets reality, putting it on an entirely different scale in terms of potency and power. Uchugenjutsu can also be casted through a variety of mediums and forms of energy, such as light, sounds and even shadows.
