Kozachi realized that her brother wasn't the only genjutsu expert out there. This realization dawned upon her while watching some of her clan members doing a friendly spar (not an Agni Kai, as genjutsu were forbidden in those). She sure couldn't see the illusion normally, but by activating her sharingan, she could see quite clearly that the victim's chakra was disturbed. Of course, it was unexpected that he would break out without weaving a single handseal. She peered closer. How had he done that? The man kept going, shattering illusion after illusion. She could tell that his opponent was getting somewhat flustered.

How interesting. The jutsu he was using... was it something different? No, actually, it was the same old genjutsu release that she had spent her time learning. Then how was it that he could use it without performing that all important handseals? She tilted her head, continuing to observe and think. It was the same old jutsu... but better. The technique was no different, as she had observed already. So, that must mean that its user must be just more skilled than she was in her current state. Her eyes narrowed. Well, that just meant she had to raise her power level even higher.

She circulated chakra. The key to resisting genjutsu was not in the power of one's chakra, though that certainly helped. It was in control. If chakra was disturbed, much like bodily functions, it caused some rather interesting effects. She had even heard rumors of genjutsu that could cause death. Well, while she certainly wasn't using any genjutsu right now, she could certainly try to get better at fighting it. Although this wasn't the usual training for most genin, she coudldn't help but feel that it would come in handy sometime soon. Premonitions like that were just her way of being prepared, right? Nothing unusual to see here.

She cycled the chakra back and forth in her body, then operated the technique. She felt her chakra become even easier to use, though she supposed this would be hard to detect if she was in a real genjutsu. She tossed her chakra from one end of her body to the other, being surprised at how easy it was to control now. It was like putting water in sand and tossing it back and forth. As a matter of fact, this was a good way to train as well.

Now, she operated the technique without performing the handseal. It was a little tougher now, but she could still feel the chakra lumps being juggled around within her system, creating a regular flow to chase away the disturbance of external influences, like her monthlies or genjutsu. Hey, not a bad meditation technique either. Well, with this, she was just about done. She got up from her hiding place and hopped off the rooftop, heading home for the day. The Uchiha compound was calming down from the day's work, and she was in a fantastic mood compared to earlier.
