You just answered your own question: since this fic is set BEFORE that
incident, it's reasonable to assume, for the sake of this fic's purposes,
that she learned that technique as a DIRECT RESULT of these events, no? 
^_-

Yeah, I'd thought of that, but it seemed unlikely that such a simple 
technique would be one learned due to this.  Especially since she'd already 
been studying genjutsu (which I'd forgotten at the time that I wrote that 
note).
