Houkachou no Mai - Yamanaka Yorukasa

Name of Jutsu:

Houkachou no Mai - Dance of the Phantom Butterfly

Why?

Yorukasa loves butterflies, absolutely loves them. She's seen many kinds, so it's not difficult for her to picture them in her mind. She also thinks they make great illusions. They're beautiful, so people tend to pay attention to them. But what can be beautiful, can also be very dangerous. She doesn't possess an affinity for katon jutsu, but her enemies don't know that. It would be great if they couldn't figure out which elements she possesses, and which ones she doesn't.

How?

She plans to experiment with Genjutsu, practising on willing targets, until she's able to do exactly what she wants to achieve. She'd also search out people who could help her with developing this technique, should she not be able to achieve the wanted result on her own.

This Jutsu is bumped up to a C rank, due to it being an improved version of the D-rank fire simulation genjutsu. Magen ° Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu.
The fact that the user can control the genjutsu after it is cast make it a C-rank.

Please work on your reasoning, else I will be required to re-instate the Side Quest requirement for learning custom jutsu. There has to be a train of thought your character follows in order to spend the time and effort to learn and develop the jutsu and it takes more than just a bit of casual experimentation.

I disagree with this.

Magen * Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu is entirely different in its use and in what it shows. This jutsu is nothing like that one.

Also, the reasoning is in the 'why', not the 'how'. The 'how' merely states how she plans to learn this jutsu, rather than why she would think of this in the first place.
