As I understand Genjutsu is, affecting the opponent's chakra network with your
own chakra through some medium, and create illusions in their mind. It's
basically 'Yin Release' through some medium. Incase of Sharingan users, it's
done through eyesight. They can cast Genjutsu when the opponent see the
caster's Sharingan. That way they imply their chakra into the opponent's body.

Incase of Sage Toads and Tayuya, It's through sound. So, whoever is within the
range could be affected by the Genjutsu.

The question is, Is there any other way to cast Genjutsu ? How come Kurunei is
able to cast Genjutsu? Is it through eyes?

How Genjutsu works?


Genjutsu was defined by Jiraiya as "an advanced form of Ninjutsu". It affects
the chakra currents in the opponent's brain.

Chakra disturbances can be caused through any of the senses, sight, hearing,
smell, taste or touch. Additionally, apparently, Yin type Genjutsu (genjutsu
that involves creating things from nothing, like Kurenai's) can be cast on an
opponent without apparent connection to the senses.

The Second Mizukage's Yin genjutsu used chakra infused steam to mess with the
opponent's sense of distance, over a wide area (so lots of opponents affected
at the same time).
