THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THE STORY, AND YOU WILL BE CONFUSED LATER IF THIS IS NOT READ!!!!

If you remember the first info chapter on Hijo, you saw that it said Hijo's 2nd Genjutsu was unknown. I would like to clear that up. In fact, her second "genjutsu" is a mixture of Ninjutsu, AND genjutsu. It is called Lavender no Jutsu.

 This jutsu is based off the FICTIONAL condition called Lavender Town syndrome. This was a made up creepypasta about the place Lavender Town, from the game pokemon. It was the story that the original music for Lavender town, (or lavender tone as it was called by some) had frequencies that gave children Obstructive sleep apnea, severe migraines, otorrhagia, tinnitus, paranoia. General irritability, insomnia, nosebleeds. Developed into violent streaks against others and eventually themselves. Saying that kids committed suicide. Luckily, this is fiction. The frequencies would probably just give you a headache, and freak you out a bit. None of this really happened, but i thought it was a cool and interesting story. So, I decided to make Hijo have her new jutsu- Lavender. This would be a jutsu where Hijo would blast sound waves at a specific target that would give the enemy or target the symptoms above. Basically all at once, causing the victim to kill themselves. If the victim somehow survives, they will go into a state of shock constantly having the symptoms listed, and eventually die.

 People who survive might also get schizophrenia, and most likely develop Marie Antoinette syndrome. Something Kaneki from Tokyo ghoul had.   Marie Antoinette syndrome is a sudden whitening of the hair caused by extreme stress. also, please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. Also, the chance you will survive this jutsu is a mesely 10%. Hijo dislikes using this tortures jutsu, but this will to gain a strong connection to a certain someone later in the story. After all, this is a torture jutsu, one that happens so fast, you only have less than a fraction of a second to avoid it.

Hijo can cancel this jutsu if she has one of these items. Lavender Flowers, Lavender Oil, or Lavender Roots. She would mix one of these items with her blood, the put it over her wrist. This is why she keeps crushed lavender roots in her hoodie pocket, inside a small container. Not even Hijo herself likes bringing this to attention. Lavender roots work the fastest. Though stopped, it will still cause damage to the victim mentally and physically.

I also wanted to answer questions that might be asked in the future that I didn't put into the story because I had no way of wiggling them in while not seeming that its forced. Why doesnt Hijo always use her amazing shape shifting powers? The reason for this is because whenever she uses this, its like a chance. if she uses this, she has a 50% chance of losing some of her blood. An entire pint to be exact. All at once. If you some how didn't notice, this is NOT good for your body! Losing  this much blood all in a single second is like being cut open by a knife. It just isn't good. But again, this is only a 50% chance. In the begging, she didn't realize this happened till she was practicing, and she lost all feeling in her hand and up. She thought it was just her, or that she hit her arm, until she became extremely light headed. This was when she stopped and asked Dosu, and he explained it. (good job Dosu, ya know, tellin' the kid you are TAKING CARE OF that she can lose tons of blood by doing a jutsu!)

Another question I wanted to address that might come up, is, "Why doesn't Hijo use her gun much?" The answer for that, is because I decided it just didn't fit the time, and she would only use it for emergencies. You also might not see her katana much. 

One last question I would like to avoid, is- "How come we don't see Doku much?" To explain this, Doku existed to be Hijo's trainer. He would teach her for two years (before she comes to the village) how to fight, and control chakra. His human form was to help her mainly. Despite this, Doku isn't really a fighting animal. He has smarts in teaching, and how to help someone soak in information quickly. So not to scare people, she leaves him at home. I mean, if you saw a 20 FOOT SNAKE you wouldn't be like, "Let's go pet it!" Unless you are me, cause I love snakes, and would be cuddling it. And if you thought snakes were vicious animals, well you would be wrong. Actually, snakes only attack for food, or if they feel threatened. Actually, science shows we ( on average) walk by over 25 snakes (if you go outside. I know I don't. Never) in you life, and you never even know. Fun fact, you also walk by 36 or more murderers in your life. Back to snakes, you can walk directly by one, and they won't move an inch. They are passive creatures. There are only a few slightly more aggressive ones, but you just can't get as close to them. So, if anyone ever is like, "snake are aggressive!" or "snakes are scary! they bite!" you might be able to correct them.

I would like to talk about Hijo's brother. Aishimasu. And yes, I know her whole family including Doku are named after google translate Japenese words. Back when I was a baby author, I didn't know the difference between, "it translates to" and "it means". I would change them, but that would be extremely confusing. Back to her brother. If you couldn't already tell, Hijo and her big bro were extremely close. I modeled their relationship after how I wish mine was. You see, I have an elder sister. She isn't exactly loving though.

 She is really mean to me, and makes up excuses for being mean. Example: "older sister are supposed to tease their younger sibling!" Verbally putting down someone is not teasing. and you can't "accidentally" punch someone, and not give them attention. I guess Hijo and her brother were my ways of coping with me being greedy, and wishing I had a better relationship. I wanted them to be caring for each other. I wanted Ai to show he would do something my sister wouldn't. He loves his little sis so much, he would give his life for her.

 I might sound like a selfish freak, seeking attention, but that's to put it lightly. This is just me being honest about how I created them. I created my dream siblings, people I wished me and my sis could be. She may not be much older than me, like with Hijo and Ai having multiple years of difference, because we have an 18 month distance, but I wanted to model my character in the way I wish I could be. I know its greedy, but it was my way of letting off that want. I wanted someone who would help me, and give me hugs when I had nightmares, and that would just, in general, be someone I could depend on to help me when i need it. Not someone who would ignore me, and push me off when I was sad, and LITERALLY LAUGH when i get hurt! Someone who wouldn't throw away my presents. again, I probs sound like a selfish freak, seeking attention because I want pity. But I don't. I know a pity look WAY too much, and it makes me feel like a weak little child. I just feel going into detail makes this clear. It was a way for me to cope with being selfish, and wanting something I don't have. I admit this is selfish, and I won't deny it.

Off that topic, I also want to apologize. I am such a slow updater. I just have other books that need attention, and I try to make these chapters as long as I can with the few ideas I have. I am having horrible writers block, and this book might not get updated in a long while. I will be writing other chapters for books I DO have ideas for. I just need to find some magical machine that produces ideas. Anyways, I might add more info to this is I see fit.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I WILL ANSWER THEM BY PUTTING A PARAGRAPH IN EXPLAINING!!!!!
