Theory about Genjutsu
I had a theory about Genjutsu.
Here is a quick overview:
Genjutsu = Hallucinations / Illusion / Altered reality attacks
Taijutsu = Physical attacks, (Lotus, Opening gates, etc.)
Ninjutsu = Every other jutsu that doesnt fit into Genjutsu or Taijutsu. Elemental jutsus (Suiton/Katon, Medical jutsu, Kage Bunshin, Chidori, etc.)
In Naruto, they clearly classify some fighters as pure Taijutsu users (Rock Lee/ Kimimaro) or master of Genjutsu (Itachi) and so on. Although the story describes these three subdivision of jutsus as equal, are they truly balanced? (In terms of power)
I seriously believe that if you focus on learning Genjutsu, and even by disregarding Ninjutsu/Taijutsu, one can become invincible. (as proven by Itachi)
Why do I believe so? If you think about it:
No matter how strong someone is, how powerful their punch or deadly their sword is, if they dont hit you, or can't hit you (illusions) , then its no use. Therefore Genjutsu > Taijutsu
Most ninjutsus that I can think of, require some kind of physical contact with the opponent (chidori has to touch the enemy in order to hurt them / Suiton dragon has to hit the enemy / medical jutsus Kabuto used to swap senses in opponent's body also required a physical contact) So what if you are under a world of illusion and what you aim at, isnt really the opponent? You'll just waste Chakra. Even if you are fighting against Naruto who just released 4 of his tails, he cant hurt you he can't hit the right target, and he'll be in a distorted world where his senses just wont function correctly..
So I believe that Genjutsu is overpowered compared to the other jutsus and if you simply focus on training Genjutsu, you can become invincible in the Naruto world. Anyone agree?
