"If you would be so kind."

"Here and now?"

"How destructive do you intend to get?"

"There's a range of possibility, depending on how much you want me to show off. But the most powerful shinobi can rearrange the landscape decently well."

"I prefer the landscape here to stay as it is. Why don't you start small?"

"As you wish."

Mm, yes.

Her eyes gleam crimson as she meets Ellisaria's gaze.

She tries a light probe, a gentle veil of genjutsu over the dragon - nothing major nor even subtle, given she's currently just making herself look like she's sparkling.

"Is this illusion?"

"Yes. A very basic one."

"Interesting."

"It is not perceptibly different than reality, to my senses."

"It takes a lot of training to catch them, and knowing you're under a genjutsu - an illusion technique - is easier than breaking one."

"How powerful can they be?"

"...Some people never break out from the most powerful. They can be fully immersive,  including altering perception of time. The absolute most powerful can affect thoughts and actions relatively directly."

"Concerning. If I discover you have placed such a thing upon me, I will kill you."

"...You'd be right to."

(She was supposed to be showing off not suddenly on the verge of a breakdown.) 

"If you recognize that, then I doubt it will be a problem."

...Nod.

"You seem to be in distress."

"Unpleasant memories."

"Related to this technique?"

"To the more powerful versions."

Hum.

...Shrug.

"What other tricks do you have, then?"
