Wrath of Roses [Toge vs Kenta]

[Toge Ikebana]

The young Ikebana cautiously strode through the outskirts of Kusa no Kuni, making his way towards Hi no Kuni to deliver something on behalf of the current Kusakage. Naturally, as he was leaving the country, he had his equipment with him. He was ever vigilant; though he was still in a forest, he was not at home, and that meant he risked being attacked at any moment. He needed to be cautious of his surroundings. It was as simple as that.

Silene [Seeds: 80] [Leaves: 40]
Location: Special
Preperation: Drying the leaves takes three months, this work is done by the older and more experienced members of the clan. The leaves are ready and prepared when they’re sold.
Special: Grow only in the greenhouses of the Ikebana clan; The greenhouses are guarded carefully, it’s nearly impossible for anyone outside the clan to get their hands on the plants.
Description: Simple yet beautiful plant, the Silene looks much like a red shamrock with white stripes. On it’s three, about inch x inch sized leaves grow bright red seeds, they’re ready on the 26th day of every month. The Silene are what keeps the Ikebana clan alive; the seeds are needed to nearly all of the Clan techniques; When the seeds are fed with special chakra, produced with the Ikebana’s Puranto Ninpou: Haeru technique, they start to grow with an unnatural speed. Every clan member carries always many small bags of these wonderful seeds always with them.
The leaves of the Silene are a little more rare; Since the seeds are very important to the clan and the plants won’t grow without the leaves, there is only one greenhouse of Silene to be used to this second purpose. The leaves are ready and prepared when they’re sold. When put on a wound, the leaves will stick to the skin and stop bleeding immediately; They can be removed only when the wound has been healed. Technically the leaves can work even with large wounds, but considering the size of each leaf, it’d take many leaves.
Drawback: A bag of seeds/leaves takes one slot per bag.
Cost: Silene Seeds: Free to clan members, not sold for others.
Silene Leaves: 20 Ryo per bag (20 leaves in each bag)

Rafflesia [2]
Location: Special
Preparation: Drying the leaves takes three months and after this the leaves have to be mixed with Silene juice; Amount of both leaves and juice depends on the ‘Rank’ of the antidote. The antidotes are prepared and ready for use when they’re sold.
Special: Grow only in the greenhouses of the Ikebana clan; The greenhouses are guarded carefully, it’s nearly impossible for anyone outside the clan to get their hands on the plants.
Description: Much like the Silene with their inch x inch leaves, but the shamrock looking Rafflesia plants are black and they have four leaves. The plants, like Silene, grow every season, the leaves are ready to be picked on the 15th day of each month. After the leaves are mixed with Silene juice, the antidote will be thick, black liquid, but easy to drink. Depending on their preparation, the antidotes are divided to Ranks D-S; at least D-Ranked antidote for D-Ranked Poison, C-Ranked for C-Ranked and so on; “There isn’t a poison the S-Ranked Rafflesia can’t counteract,” the Ikebana say. One slot per vial.
Drawback:
Cost: D-Rafflesia: 100 Ryo ; C-Rafflesia: 300 Ryo ; B-Rafflesia: 1000 Ryo ; A-Rafflesia: 3000 Ryo ; S-Rafflesia: 6000 Ryo Per Vial.

Campion [20]
Location: Special

Special: Grow only in the greenhouses of the Ikebana clan; The greenhouses are guarded carefully, it’s nearly impossible for anyone outside the clan to get their hands on the plants.
Description: Again a shamrock-like plant, with four inch x inch white leaves; Like the other Hana plants, they grow every season, the plants can be picked on the 20th day of each month. Campion leaves recover chakra. To recover fully from using a different-ranked techniques, the user has to eat a certain amount of leaves:
D-Ranked: 10
C-Ranked: 20
B-Ranked: 50
A-Ranked: 80
S-Ranked: 100
Drawback: If the user eats the leaves too fast or too many at the same time, they’ll get a terrible stomach ache in a minute, a pain that makes them curl up on the ground; There’s no way someone could even stand in this state; The pain will last for half an hour, unless a S- Rafflesia is used to cure it. Only two leaves at the same time, pause of a second, then two again...
One Slot Per Bag.
Cost: 200 Ryo per bag (five leaves in each bag)

[Deleted]

The dog was on the hunt.

He had been informed that some miscreant or other was moving through the area, and had been ordered to bring his superiors the boy's head. That was all he needed; a description and an objective. His six feet of height lumbered through the mild forest with scouring, remorseless golden eyes.

From a distance he spotted his prey; the information matched the appearance. Kenta's canine teeth clenched together. Fifteen meters to the boy's southeast between pillars of tree trunks, Kenta called to him; he was confident in his ability to catch the little critter, so it would be more amusing if he played with it first.

Held on the soldier's person was a utility belt, and within that belt was two knives, four kunai, forty-five hira-shuriken, fifteen darts, three incendiary and ten cigarette lighters.

...Kenta burned through a lot of cigarettes. Literally.

"Oi, you there," The dog growled in a low voice, drawing a knife and twirling it in one gloved hand. His next statement was fair more sadistic; he lowered in his stance a tad. "You look a long way from home."

[Toge Ikebana]

WRATH OF ROSES
"And who, pray tell, do you think you are?"

	Toge had a slight suspicion that an individual was closing on him for a short while, and so he did tread with caution. It wasn't until the individual boldly "introduced" himself from a distance, announcing his arrival without even the slightest care in the world. The nerve actually ticked Toge off quite intently; though, he kept that to himself. He stared at the man, almost as if amused by this confidence that bordered on arrogance. Though, the key word there was simply "almost". His thoughts could not be detected visibly. No, the only thing that this stranger received from the Toge was a stoic, expressionless stare. A short silence, before Toge broke it:
"You must love to play games," he declared. "But this will very likely be one you won't win." Toge wasted no time. The fifteen meters that separated the two no doubt gave him an excellent field position already to execute at least one high level technique before his adversary drew near. Eighteen hand signs were woven in quick, but accurate succession all the while keeping tabs on his opponent. Upon completion, thirty meters worth of flowers all blossomed in quick succession, all of which were roses; naturally his preferred flower. The instant garden Toge had created spread out quite fully for those thirty meters, and there was easily hundreds of them in the area that he created, combined with what was already nearby. After the first step in completing those set of seals was completed, Toge stepped back into the dense trees opposite of where Kenta was, easily gaining five meters distance more in addition to the fifteen already present. Toge's slim build allowed him to slide into the dense trees as needed, without slowing him down too much here as he began cautiously weaving another set of seals, taking note of distance between the two as he did so.
