Talk:Genjutsu

I dont understand what is genjutsu, can it kill you? the only way to escape it is "Self-Inflicted pain?" because that is real pain, not like genjutsu pain that is fake?
 * Genjutsu is illusions, so as far as we have seen, they can't kill you or cause pain, (only make the victim think they are in pain or tied up or something else), although Tsukuyomi is said to be abel to cause real damage to a person without Sharingan, (although that has never been seen). Genjutsu is caused by a enemy that manipulate the victims chakra, which causes the illusion. If the victim can't shut off his chakra, he has to hurt himself to get back to the real world.

 * The only instance where Genjutsu was used to kill someone was in the filler episode arc where a clan woman had a kekkei genkai that boosted her genjutsu to a ridiculous extreme, allowing her to kill people with Genjutsu. Omnibender 12:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I wouldn't say the only time, honestly Genjutsu is a tool just like all other jutsu, it may not directly injure you, but it makes someone insanely vunerable. There have been plenty of points in the series where someone used Genjutsu to blind a person's senses and then attempted to attack them directly. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 17, 2008 @ 17:11 (UTC)
