Part 1: The Burning Touch

Walking downstairs from the highest room in the main building, Masaki was rather depressed. Having become a new genin of the Grass village, he still had no respect from others. Instead, they looked upon him with fright and disgust, not wanting to know "that green freak." Sometimes, he wished he wasn't a Zassou.

Walking upon the estate grounds, he found that most of the plants were in full bloom, covering the ground in a brilliant display of flowers. Masaki and his mother attended to them by themselves. They planted each individual seed themselves, covering the massive estat in beauty. There were some upsides to being in this family, and the view was certainly one of them.

Reaching the training grounds, Masaki let a single vine come forth from his palm. The vine slithered forth and swirled around him. Without touching him, it continued to swirl around his legs and up until it eventually reached his eye level. Reaching forth with his other hand, Masaki squeezed one of the vines, dripping with poison. As the small bead of purple liquid grew bigger, he reluctantly held his tongue out beneath the thorn. It eventually grew too big to remain on the thorn, and the forces of gravity brought it down upon his tongue.

He stood there for a moment, feeling no side effects whatsoever. He was confused as to why the poison had no effect. While pondering the thought, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his tongue. The pain spread slowly through his body as he suddenly felt slight nausea. He maintained himself as the stinging pain circulated throughout his body. He sat upon the ground and began to meditate to calm the pain. Beads of sweat formed upon his head as the poison went into full effect.

Again gripping the thorn, Masaki had to grow a tolerance to the poison inside his body. He squeezed more onto his tongue, ingesting the foul purple liquid. The effects intensified, but slowly started to fade. Masaki now lay upon the ground, breathing heavily as thesweating and nausea continued. Soon, the effects lessened, and he began to return to normal. Gasping as he sat up, he still felt slightly sick and he still was sweating, but the poison had mostly vanished from his person. He never wanted to experience that again.

Part 1: The Blooming Vine, The Burning Touch

Now that he was able to resist his body's natural poisons, Masaki thought it a good idea to move onto a new technique. Sitting upon the ground, meditating, he pondered what jutsu should be learned next. Opening his eyes to the bright rays of the sun and the gentle breezes blowing by, he decided to move onto a rather special technique. Rising from the ground, he had already begun to focus chakra within his body.

Kaika Tsukeneno Jutsu.

[/size]

The Blooming Vine technique is one that could be of great use to Masaki. The ability to send millions of microscopic shards covered in poison would not only allow him to spread his poison to his opponents, but it would allow him to lacerate his opponent in the process. Walking to the center of the training ground, he let forth a single vine from his hand. However, this vine was seemingly different, as the tip of the vine contained what seemed to be a small sac.

A seed.

The small sac upon the vine actually contained a tiny seed. The sac was filled with a small reserve of glucose in order to maintain the seed's life. The vine would extend slightly more, then the sac would burst. The seed would be sent flying approximately ten feet in front of Masaki. The launch was caused by a sudden surge of chakra within the sac. Smiling, the seed began to germinate, using the chakra that was sent into the sac as fuel.

The small seed was invisible upon the ground, but soon would resemble that of a weed-like structure. Using the chakra as a nutrition and energy source, the seed would release roots. These roots would rapidly grow throughout the ground, sapping nutrients from the ground as well. The seed slowly cracked open, and a small stem arose. Slowly, it grew bigger and bigger, until it was about a foot in size.

The seed that had been unnoticeable before was now a foot-high vine. The tip of this vine had a small bud, yet to bloom from the vine. Slightly disappointed, Masaki would kick off his sandals, allowing for the holes in his feet to be exposed to the ground below. His vines slowly crawled underground towards the plant. From there, he began to release more chakra into the seed. Slowly, the vine began to grow further, but the bud did not yet bloom.

And then... It opened.

[/center]

The vine was now about two feet high, and the bud began to open slightly. The petals of the soon-to-be flower were still green, not having produced the color pigment of purple. Within the center of the blossoming flower was a small thorn. One would only notice it should they walk up to it and observe the plant. The small thorn seemed to be wet with something. Any fool to walk up and touch the thorn would soon realize it was the Burning Touch.

The technique was beginning to unfold.

Part 2: The Blooming Vine, The Burning Touch

The beginning of the vine.

[/center]

Chakra was continually pushed forth into the ground towards the seed. Masaki made a mental note to give the seed more chakra next time so that it would grow on its own. The vine slowly twisted around itself, growing bigger and bigger, inch by inch. The thorn, too, became larger as the chakra fed its growth. Soon, the technique would be completed. The vine would be under Masaki's control.

The petals of the flower began to change as Masaki used his chakra to activate the color pigments. The vine was basically an extension of his body so long as the chakra was connected to it. Now approaching four feet in size, the vine continued to rise, the venomous thorn glistening in the sun. Slowly, the petals began to achieve a beautiful dark purple color among their petals. The added effect of shining was produced by the thorn, which now dripped in poison.

It was an alluring sight indeed.

[/center]

The flower itself was enough to attract any person to it's beautiful sight. If it's alluring appearance did nothing to attract one to the vine, then the sheer curiousity of what it was surely would. The growing vine now was almost five feet in height, making for a magnificent sight. The large vine sprouting in the middle of a dirt field was definitely strange, however the technique would be used usually in a field of sorts.

Chakra now pulsed throughout the ground as Masaki willed the vine to grow further. It was now harder to give the plant its energy as it grew, due to the increasing size. More petals bloomed forth from the vine as the flower began to resemble that of a lotus flower. Masaki smiled, looking at the wonderous plant that he had basically given birth to. He felt like a Hanakora, being able to produce plant life like he did.

However, the Hanakora were much more developed in that type of skill.

[/center]

Drifting away from the thoughts of other clans and Kekkai Genkai's, he walked over to the flower, retracting the vine that was attached to his foot. It still had was capable of growing taller, but it still had to grow wider. For now, Masaki intended to observe the plant and see its progress. The thorn in the center of the flower dripped with poison, covering the petals in the liquid substance. The petals in turn reflected the light of the sun, making the flower absolutely alluring. Had he not known better, he would definitely walk up to the flower and touch it...

As he stepped back, he would release another vine into the soil beneath him. The vine would wrap around the roots of the Blooming Vine, feeding chakra into its systems. The vine grew wider and wider as the petals also extended, growing larger to accomodate the vine. The massive vine was now seven feet wide, with petals that extended well beyond that. In the center of the blooming flower, the thorn was massive. Much larger than Masaki's upper portion of his body.

What a curious sight indeed.

[/center]

A burst of chakra was sent forth into the massive, tree-like vine. Rapidly, it shot up in height, growing to about ten feet tall. Masaki could no longer see the thorn, only the large purple petals, dripping with poison. It fell down in massive quantities, much like a waterfall, over the purple petals. Releasing the roots of the vine, Masaki would step back. Controlling the Blooming VIne technique, he would cause the vine to turn, twist, and move around. There was only one last part of the jutsu to be trained after this.

Part 3: The Blooming Vine, The Burning Touch[/color]

Now for the final step.

[/center]

The vine, dripping with poison, bent and twisted to Masaki's will. After making it twist around itself and do many other strange turns, he started the next part of his technique. He smiled, watching the vine return to its normal, straight posture. The petals, wet with poison, glistened in the sunlight. It's beautiful dark colors were simply amazing as the petals furled over themselves, creating a sort of covering over the thorn.

The vine began to shift in strange patterns. Remaining straight, the vine moved in such a way that it seemed to be going through the activity of peristalsis. The vine sent small "waves" up through its stem as it flowed into the thorn and the petals. What was really happening was that another thorn was being produced beneath the first thron, preparing to jet upwards through the first thorn. The technique was coming along nicely.

It was not that Masaki put his own chakra forth into the plant to start the next process. The petals burst open as a surge of chakra was shot through the massive vine. The chakra pushed through the second thorn, which in turn sent the first spiraling through the air. The chakra had also traveled through the second thorn into the original. However, the chakra used was no ordinary chakra. Instead, it had almost explosive properties added to it.

The thorn in the air was dripping wth poison as it continued to gain altitude. Raising his hand, Masaki would prepare his chakra within the rising thorn. Its massive shape began to rise higher as small, unnoticeable cracks formed within itself. Soon, these cracks spread throughout the entire structure of the thorn, and then it reached the outside surface of the plant structure.

One. Million. Burns.

The thorn burst randomly, and each of the pieces of the thorn disappeared into the sky. Each piece was so small that it could not be seen unless one looked at it under some kind of magnification. He knew that the poison-covered shrapnel would soon rain down upon himself, and so he turned each strand of his hair into vines, then let loose the six vines in his hands.

As the pieces of thorn rained down, Masaki sent his vines in a random flurry of whips and attacks to the air. He didn't aim at anything in particular, just the air that happened to occupy that space. However, his idea worked, as each vine knocked each little piece of venomous thorn away. Even with a poison resistance to The Burning Touch, an overdose of the poison would surely kill Masaki.

Returning to the massive vine-like flower, he saw the new thorn ready to be used. Poison was created rapidly, giving the thorn its shining surface. As it poured onto the petals, the poison again dripped off the petals like small streams or waterfalls, draining into the ground below. One last time, the vine began to go through a type of peristalsis once again. Without chakra this time, Masaki propelled the thorn into the air through the undulation of the vine. He also added the momentum of swinging the vine into the air to shoot the thorn. Again, it rose, and again, millions upon millions of microscopic thorns rained down upon the area. Cracking his knuckles, Masaki pondered whether or not he was done.

Walking back into the grounds of his home, he would glance around at the flowery estate. The gardens were in full bloom, and beautiful colors were everywhere. The smell of flowers filled the air, and the warm sun shone down upon Masaki. Its rays were refreshing, rejuvenating his body. From his hands, six vines slithered forth, laying limp upon the ground. They, too, were soakig up the sun's rays, but for the purpose of energy.

Hand seals were slowly formed as chakra was called forth from his body. The energy that gave life to Ninja now coursed wildly through his veins, under no specific control. Another hand sign was slowly formed, and the chakra flow began to be manipulated. Its course was directed to the palms of the Zassou. It gathered there, welling within his hands as he prepared to learn this next technique. The cells within the vines had begun to multiply, but the natural rate was much too slow to wait for.

Stepping slowly from his sandals, he would allow his feet to sink slightly into the soft, warm soil. From his feet, vines would come forth, rooting themselves in the ground. They began to withdraw nutrients from the soil, transferring them to the vines in the palm. It was not a visible change, but the vine was growing on a microscopic level. Cells slowly divided as they grew, dividing each organelle as well so that it could be given to the new cell. This process would take weeks if left to be completed naturally, and Masaki wasn't about to let that happen.

The chakra that had amassed itself within his palms would now begin to pulse throughout the vine. Small, short bursts of chakra were sent flowing down the vine, entering each individual cell. The technique, at this point, would require immese focus as each miniscule cell would need to be divided. Within his mind, Masaki pictured a regular cell filled with chakra. The chakra moved throughout it, making more mitochondria. These in turn produced excess energy, making other organelles begin to multiply.

Each copy of an organelle moved to one side of the cell, as the originals moved to the opposite side. The nucleus then began to change as the nuclear envelope disappeared. The genetic information was split, moving equally to both halves of the cell, where the nuclear envelope was created again. The cell then split, slowly breaking along the center. Eventually, when the process was over, there would be two new cells in Masaki's mind.

Looking down upon the vine, an astonished look would cross his face. Having each cell in the vine multiply had caused it to gain approximately six meters. Raising his arms, the vines too, would come up, twisting around their master as he willed them to do so. Unraveling himself, he would begin to manipulate them in basic forms, testing their abilities. Simple waving motions were created as full control seemed to be capable of the vines. Alas, the desired length was not yet reached, and so chakra began to gather once more as Masaki prepared the technique.

Using the same method as before, small, controlled surges of chakra were sent spiraling through the vines. If he had chakra-seeing eyes, he was sure he would see colorful lihgts, dancing through his body, specifically his vines. This time watching the vines, he would see them begin to rapidly stretch as the chakra within his palms was depleted. The vine continued to expand, growing out across the training area. It was now almost half as big as the training grounds, and Masaki smiled. For the next few days, fatigue would dwell over him, as feeding the new cells would take some getting used to. However, the technique was basically completed, and so he could hopefully move on.

Skill: NinJutsu, Passive
Effect: The vine is underground, and when someone walks on the ground it creates a vibration that can be felt underground and the vine picks it up, so the vine isn't even visible. This vibration goes to the Zassou member, and the vine is connected to the nerves and let's them know someone is near.
Special: ---
Drawback: Will have no effect during Tetsubun Tsukene no Jutsu ("Iron Vines Technique").
Description: Once learned, Zassou members will be able to "feel" with their vines. This is often used to find hidden opponents or something similar.
Limit: Zassou Bloodlimit Only.

Now that his vines had the ability to extend further than before, it was time for a new jutsu to be trained. Running off into the garden area, he would lie flat upon the ground, concealed by the overgrown flora. His body weaved itself through the stems of the plants, careful not to push any over and reveal his position. Smiling, he would slowly allow his vines to come forth from his hands and feet, sinking into the earth.

Once a foot below ground, the vines began to extend outwards to their maximum lengths. The estate constantly had some kind of wildlife running about its protective grounds, so this would be the perfect way to train this jutsu. However, laying there, he realized that his vines had no nerves of their own. Retracting his vines enough to bring his hands together, hand seals would be made, summong chakra to his spine.

The process he was about to endure he assumed was to be painful, so he braced himself for the worst. The chakra pushed itself into the nerves along Masaki's spine, resting there momentarily. Taking a deep breath, he would begin to manipulate the chakra. The nerves would begin to stretch out, slowly making their way towards his vines. The pain that coursed through his body was almost unbearable, but the process had to be done in order for the technique to work.

Cries of pain came forth from the flower bed as his body began to push its nerves into the vines. They spread slowly through them, giving them feeling. But the only thing they felt now was pain as the nerves continued to stretch. The nerves weren't so much stretching as being multiplied by chakra, as they grew in length to accomodate the vine. The pain had long since transferred itself to the vines, but Masaki was determined to finish this.

If he could not endure this pain, then he was not fit to be shinobi. The nerves finally reached the tip of the vines at this point, but were not spread throughout the vine. Rather, they were down the center, and so the process of expanding them began. They branched out randomly, filling the vine with small neurons, feeling pain as soon as they came forth. Sweat rolled down his head as his breathing became irregular.

After what seemed an eternity, the process had been completed. He still felt sore from doing so, but he did not care. For the first time in his life, he could feel with his vines. The soil below felt cool and damp to the touch, and the vines kept moving through it. It was a sort of refreshing feeling, after all he had just endured. When each vine had reached their lengths, pointing in seperate directions, he could fully learn the technique.

It took a few minutes due to his screaing, but eventually, a vibration would hit the earth as a chipmunk gained the courage to move. This vibration traveled through the earth, stimulating the vine. This in turn was relayed back to Masaki, whom felt the vibration. "SMall woodland animal approximately... eight meters away." He smiled, still laying on the ground, wet with sweat and dirty from the soil. The vines slowly retracted, pulling back into Masaki's body. Was this another jutsu completed?

Mokuton: Ru-tsu ki Wana no Jutsu (Roots That Snare)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Roots grow out from the ground rapidly and wrap themselves around the opponents feet.
Special: Rabbit, Rat, Ram
Drawback: If the technique is caught early, the roots are not thick and are easy to break out of.
Description: Thick green roots come out of the ground and wrap themselves around the opponents legs. The longer the jutsu exists before it is countered, the more roots wrap themselves around the opponent and the higher they extend upwards. If the jutsu is not countered, eventually the opponent’s body will be completely ensnared.
Limit: Mokuton no Jutsu

Walking forth from the flower bed, he would return to the training grounds. A sense of touch that he had gained in his vines was weird, to say the least. Within his body, he felt everything. It was rather disgusting, in his opinion. But now, it was time to move away from the techniques of his kekkai genkai. Now, it was time to move onto that of Mokuton no Jutsu. Roots That Snare appealed to him in particular.

His mother had told him of this jutsu, and had explained to him how it worked. Roots grew from the ground, snaring the opponent within their grasp. Simple enough, right? Maybe not as simple as planned, but Masaki would go after the jutsu anyway. "Rabbit, Rat, Ram!" he shouted within his mind as the hand seals were formed. With more chakra coursing through his body, he would focus it into a projection that was launched through his feet.

Suddenly, beneath his feet, something would brush against his skin. Moving his foot, he would see the smallest plant he had ever seen, and it was barely even a plant. It was more like the very base of a stem, not even fully grown. Slightly disappointed for the first attempt, he'd sigh as another burst of chakra came forth from his feet. SLowly, the plant would rise, growing larger and larger with each second. Eventually, it was a noticeable plant within the soil.

Due to tropisms, the plant had begun to curve over Masaki's foot, reaching about halfway across the top of his foot. Pulses of chakra were shot into the plant as it began to curl around, eventually reaching the soil on the other side of his foot. There, the plant sank into the earth, disappearing from view. However, he knew where the plant was headed, as with his chakra, he controlled it. Near his heel, the blant burst through once more, into the sunlight. It began to curl around his leg, moving back into the soil where it had come from.

It only occurred to Masaki now how thin the plants were. If he were to so much as shift his foot, then the plant would undoubtedly snap. This would be a problem to be worked on later, however, as the plant still had to be established. The plant wove itself randomly around his foot, twisting within itself, both above and underground. Only half of his foot was now visible through the vines, as it continued to weave itself randomly. Shifting his foot only slightly, he would feel some resistance. With so many woven patterns, the roots had become slightly stronger, more resilient from the other vines.

His toes would slowly be concealed as the root began to snare his left foot completely, winding in weird, twisting fashions as it finished its job. With the foot completely covered in plants, the vine would slowly began to creep up his leg, twisting around and around until it reached his knee. There, it began its spiraling descent, repeating the process as his foot was reached. The vine would soon cover his leg from his knee down, restricting his movements slightly.
