Hana Ninpou: Ame no Hana (Flower Ninja Art: Rain of Flowers)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a great number of flower petals to ascend into the sky, and then begin to gently float downwards.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The technique has no offensive value. Weak to fire.
Description: An ability that is meant to be used mostly as a distraction. Performing the handseals, the user will cause a great number of flower petals to ascend into the air, creating a 'cloud' of flower petals about fifteen meters in diameter within the air. The petals will then begin to casually descend down the sky, and is mostly used in order to force the opponent's attention to the sky so that the user can attack from the ground. If the attack is ignored, other Hanakora techniques may be utilized from the cloud in order to catch the opponent by surprise.
Limit: Must be a member of the Hanakora Clan.

Waltzing up to the renovation site for the Clan and Bloodlimit Facility, Mikio whistled lowly while taking in the sight. It wasn't all that bad, but it was clear that it was definitely in need of a makeover, which he had decided to help with. Entering the building, it became apparent that it looked even worse on the inside, but he was pretty sure that's what he had been assigned to fix. Speaking with the person leading the project, he found out that he was to start with painting the walls, so he went off on his own to do just that. The bird that was usually with him had been left outside, he knew that Gilligan wouldn't like being indoors for the time that this would take.

Entering one of the rooms, which was indistinguishable because of the sheer lack of things in it, he put down the paint can and brush that had been given to him. Kneeling down, he pried the lid off and dipped the paintbrush inside, wiping the excess paint on the edge of the can. In the moment that his brush touched the wall, Mikio noticed something: this was going to be boring as hell. Letting out an agitated sigh, he continued to his tedious task. Even using his super speedy ninja skills, it took way too long in his opinion. By the time he had finished with one of the walls, the paint was still wet and a thought crossed his mind: the single color was too boring.

Deciding that he should fix the little dilemma, he went through a few ideas before landing on one in particular. Pulling a bag of the famed Hanakora seed out of his pouch, he scattered them across the bare ground and made multi-colored daisies pop up. Smiling at the bright colors, he picked up and handful of them and threw them at the wall, nodding in satisfaction as they stuck to the surface. His grin quickly turned to a frown though, the area that he had covered seemed infinitesimal when compared to the rest of the wall.

Recalling a technique that he had once seen one of his relatives using, a light bulb went off above his head. If he could make the flowers all shoot up into the air at the same time while they're next to the wall, then they should stick to it. It worked well enough in theory for him to give it a try, it wasn't like they'd suddenly explode on him, right? Figuring that he may as well try it out, he vividly pictured the handseals that they had preformed in his mind before doing it himself. Channeling an amount of chakra into the jutsu that he believed would be sufficient, he simply sat back and waited after landing on the last seal, waiting for the flowers to shoot up into the air.

However, they hadn't done what he had expected, at least not to the extent that he wished for. The daisies only raised a couple of feet from the ground, a small portion of them sticking to the wall while the rest fell pitifully to the ground. Mikio let out an irritated sigh and was about to re-do the technique when he noticed something; the paint had barely been wet enough for the others to stay on, any more likely wouldn't stay on there. Frowning, he figured that he'd just paint another wall, then try it again and hopefully bring more color to the blank room.

Mikio still found painting the walls to be boring despite the speed at which he did it, he thought it to be too slow. Once the second wall of the room was shining in a new coat, the boy set down more seeds to make flowers, he didn't feel like moving the others over. Once the multi-colored daises were grown, he repeated the same handseals as before, this time putting a bit more energy into them. The plants were launched into the air this time, easily making it to the ceiling, although they did slam into the barrier above him. A grin appeared on his face as he watched a large percentage of them stick to the paint, enough for him to be satisfied with the added color.

'So, the amount of chakra put into the technique affects the height it reaches. Hmm, I wonder if I'd be able to get it precise enough to go just as tall as the ceiling.' Making quick work of painting one of the two remaining walls, not minding it as much this time around because he was focused on how much he should put into the jutsu. Once finished, Mikio preformed the increasingly familiar hand seals and carefully put a select amount of chakra into it. How much he put in was mostly based on theory and guesses, but he figured that the best way to test it was through trial and error.

Watching the flowers ascend, the young shinobi couldn't stop a small smile from forming on his lips as he noted that they had achieved the distance that he was aiming for. Almost all of the daisies had stuck to the wall and that seemed to be the icing on the cake; success plus color equaled one happy ninja. While whistling a nameless tune, Mikio joyfully painted the final wall; he had just finished when the leader of the project entered the room. The red head could have sworn that there was steam blowing out of their ears, they yelled at him to take down all of the flowers from the walls and stomped off to somewhere unknown.

The ninja frowned at their request, his mood ruined by their words. Figuring that he should do as he was told even if he didn't want to, he tore down all of his beautiful flowers. While repainting the walls because of the voids the daises had created, he thought over what would have happened to the flowers if he had left them up. Figuring that they likely would have died, it probably wasn't that bad for him to remove them. The brown that they'd change to would be attractive anyway, even a solid color would be better than that. Once he had finished up repainting the third wall, he gathered up all of the flowers and put them in a nearby garbage, the scent of rotting food and flowers making a rather disgusting mixture.

Sumi Secchakuzai (Sticky Ink)
Rank: D-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a target amount of ink to become extremely sticky, decreasing the mobility of anything it touches.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: If the user accidentally gets caught within the ink, then they too will become stuck.
Description: Performing the right handseals gathers a chakra that enters a pre-selected portion of ink. The chakra then enters the ink and, fusing with it, causes it to become very, very sticky, giving it adhesive properties, almost like glue.
Limit: Li Clan Jutsu

Pushing a newly acquired cart of tiles, Mikio entered a random room of the facility; all he knew about it was that it's supposed to be a laboratory or something like that. The shinobi didn't really care what the purpose of it was, all that mattered to him was that it was part of his mission to tile it. The rest of the workers were off working on other parts of the building, some of them had bothered to instruct him how the hell he was supposed to lay them out. The entire thing seemed rather boring to him, but if it was part of his assignment, then he wouldn't complain... Well, not out loud at least.

Spreading out the strange concrete-like adhesive that they had given him over a small portion of the room, he began to lay the pieces down on it. They were all positioned directly next to each other and were precut for the room, so he didn't have to worry about any of the mathematical things at least. After doing his task for a while, Mikio couldn't help but begin to feel boredom wash over him, he couldn't finish this in the short amount of time it had taken him to paint the walls. 'There has to be something that I can do to make the time faster, right?' A few moments passed before something finally made its way into his head, making his green eyes light up instantly.

Since his brother-in-law was a member of the Li clan, they had taken the time to get him into it as well. Mikio could recall times where they demonstrated some of the techniques to him, but he hadn't acquired the chance to try any of them out. Figuring that this was a good of time as any, he choose to try out one jutsu in particular, one that would allow him to get the tiles to stick to the floor without having to use the materials given to him. Taking out a brush and one of his ink bottles, he dotted the outsides of the tile with the black liquid, figuring that he shouldn't use too much so he could avoid running out. Vaguely remembering the handseals that had been used, his own hands preformed the ones that his sister's husband had. However, once all of the seals were formed, nothing happened; the ink stayed exactly the same, not feeling as it should in the least.

'I know those were the right seals, but... The wrong order, perhaps?'[/color] Techniques didn't always turn out the way he wished, but for nothing at all to happen, he figured that it was likely a mistake in the handseals. Mikio, not really minding the possible consequences, began to form the seals in random sequences, hoping that one of them would be correct. It took him a few attempts, but he eventually got a favorable outcome, the ink on the tile seemed to become a bit thicker. Poking the black liquid, he was pleased to note that it was gooey, it wasn't exactly what he was looking for, but he had only applied a minimal amount of chakra. Since he was only testing for the correct seal order, he figured that it was safer to put less chakra into it in order to avoid accidently performing some random technique that he knows nothing about.

Now that he had the handseals in the right order, he preformed them again and put more chakra into them. The ink appeared to become even thicker than before, which made him smile slightly, but he still wished to test it. Mikio knew appearances could be deceiving, so he believed that it would be a good idea to see if it had actually worked, because if it didn't then he'd be screwed over if he ever tried to use it in a combat situation. Poking the black substance with one of his fingers, the smile slipped from his face when it seemed to be a bit more gooey than before, but it still didn't hold the glue-like properties that he was looking for. This stuff probably wouldn't be much use in a fight, unless he threw it in the eyes of his opponent, but then again he could just do that with normal ink.

Performing the seals once again, the shinobi was determined to keep trying until he was successful, even if it took him hours of training. Adding in an extra bit of chakra into it, his green eyes watched as the ink on the tile seemed to get even thicker than before, but he wasn't letting that fool him. Hesitating for a moment, he touched the substance with his already black finger, a bright smile appearing on his face when it got stuck. However, his victorious mood was short lived when he noticed something: his finger was stuck. After a few seconds of prying his flesh from the tile, he was able to free himself from his own jutsu. Mikio was aware that it probably wasn't the brightest idea to use himself to test the technique, but he decided that he didn't care, mostly because it had actually worked.

With his new technique, which he had only now recalled the name of, he had stopped using the concrete-ish stuff that they had given him. Whatever they wanted him to use may work better, but he decided that he'd use his ink instead, mostly because he found it to be more entertaining. Things had always seemed to make Mikio more interested when ninja tricks were involved, this was no exception to that. It toke him numerous more minutes to complete, but he was eventually able to cover the entire floor in the tile. By the time he was finished, all of the other workers were just wrapping up their rooms as well, he had taken about the same amount of time because he had spent a bit of time playing around with his ink.

Tane Ninpou: Betabeta Seed Art: Sticking
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Changes the outside of seeds into burrs.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: A D ranked force is able to dislodge the seeds.
Description: By performing the needed hand seals the Hanakora is able to transform the outside of the seeds into a burr like object. Though there is no effect on future uses of the seed, until the seed is used for another technique this will allow the seeds to adhere to clothing, hair, or fur. The hold on the seeds is weak but with the new hook like burrs it is a stronger hold than one would expect.
Limit: Hanakora Clan

The other workers seemed to be confused as to how the young shinobi had been able to tile the floor without using their adhesive, but they didn't really put any effort into figuring it out. They had already tested the floor and it stayed down, so the means he used to do it wasn't all that important. Now that they had completed the floors and walls, their next objective was to install the computers. Instead of instructing the boy on how to properly install the complex devices, they were going to team him up with a group, even Mikio knew that he wouldn't remember all of the stuff they had to do.

Sure he had a super awesome ninja memory, but he would admit that the colorful wires confused the hell out of him. All of this technology stuff never really caught his interest, he preferred the traditional way of doing things. To him that meant using spiffy tricks to get the job done, but he noticed that they wouldn't be able to help him in this situation. At least none of the ones that popped into his mind would to him any good, so he figured that he might as well do things their way this once.

People that actually knew what they were doing decided that they'd just have Mikio move things around and gave him simple instructions at times. The red head couldn't help but feel extremely bored under these conditions, it seemed to be even worse than the tedious things that he had already done. Getting bossed around constantly was also something that touched a nerve, he despised having to take orders from these civilians. In his mind, the strongest should lead and these workers definitely weren't strong, not as strong as him at least.

Mikio was aware that making him work with the others was the best option, but he couldn't help but feel annoyed. So, he decided that he'd do a little something to get back at them, but he wouldn't even consider going as far as harming them. They were only civilians after all, so something far less severe would do just fine, a simple jutsu to irritate them would make him feel much better. Briefly scanning through some random techniques, one caught his attention; it was something annoying he could do with the Hanakora seeds.

Discreetly taking a bag of the seeds out of his pouch, he toke out a few and threw them at the nearest person. Mikio quickly formed the seals, but he hadn't finished by the time the seeds hit the person, bouncing off from them and falling harmlessly to the floor. Noticing his mistake, he hastily continued what he had been doing before and pretended as if he had never stopped. The one that had been hit by the small objects turned to see what had happened, but saw nothing suspicious. When they just shrugged it off and continued their work, he mentally sighed in relief.

Continuing to carry out his mission for a few more minutes, he decided to wait a bit before trying again. Once a satisfactory amount of time had passed, he retrieved the bag of seeds once again. Pulling out a few more seeds, Mikio decided to throw them at a farther target this time, even making them arch upward in order to give himself a bit more time. Making the handseals again, he made sure to do them quicker this time in order to get the desired result. A mere moment before they made contact with the person, the final seal was cast and the seeds seemed to sprout hair since he was unable to see the finer details.

As the Hanakora seeds stuck onto the person's clothing and hair, a smirk formed on his lips. Sure what he was doing was lame, but he didn't really care since it entertained him. It wasn't their fault that he had to work with them, but perhaps he would have been a good little boy if they hadn't acted so damn bossy. It toke a little bit, but the person eventually noticed that there were now small objects on him that weren't present before. They stared at the seeds for a moment with a confused expression on their face before trying to remove it, but realized that it wouldn't come lose.

After struggling with them for a few moment, a co-worker suggested that they do it after the job was finished. The idea didn't seem favorable, but they accepted it anyway and continued their work, figuring that they could remove the annoyances at a later time. The little scene brought a sly smile to Mikio's face, the jutsu had been a success. However, he supposed that he should get faster at performing the necessary seals, seeing as how it was more fun to change them while they were airborne. The shinobi figured that he could change them before throwing them and have all the time in the world, but that just wasn't as entertaining.

So, every time everyone was turned another way, he would pull some seeds from his bag and throw them at the workers. Starting from the farthest and getting closer, but skipping some in order to keep himself from being the only one without them; that would look too suspicious. By the time they had finally finished installing the various computers, all but a select few and himself had the seeds on them. Their grumbling about the nuisances brought a smile to his face, it definitely made up for them telling him what to do for so long.

Hana Kamei: Jiten! (Flower Command: Spin!)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a flower, or flowers, to rise up off of the ground and begin to spin.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The technique is incapable of harming anyone. Weak to fire.
Description: A simple technique that is mostly just for show, this ability allows the user to cause a flower, or up to five meters in diameter of flowers, to rise as far as ten meters off of the ground and simply spin around and around very quickly. The effect lasts for one turn, although the user may hold the Ram handseal in order to cause the flowers to remain within the air, continuing their spin, for a greater show.
Limit: Must be a member of the Hanakora Clan.

Now that the computers were installed, with a little fun involved, the Kusa ninja knew that there was only one task left to complete. They had these body test tube containers along with some other high tech gadgets that he couldn't really recognize. Mikio had never really been a science person, so he hadn't the slightest idea of what any of this stuff would be used for. That, unfortunately, also meant that he didn't know how to set it up and they decided that it was too complicated as the computers were. So, to his dismay, he was forced to work with them again instead of going off on his own as he had previously.

The adolescent still refused to complain about his mission to anyone else, but in he was getting sick of his own whining within his own mind. Figuring that he might as well plow through this last thing, a determined look showed clearly in his bright green eyes. However, even though he had started off strong, the familiar feeling of boredom soon washed over him. The slow moving workers were beginning to make him a little antsy, he even began to fidget around with his clothing after a bit.

Figuring that he might as well entertain himself, he decided to try out a jutsu that involved the pretty Hanakora flowers. Colors had always attracted Mikio and the daisies that he could create were no exception, so he decided that he might as well learn a new trick that uses them. Pulling a single seed out of a bag, he made it grow on a computer before him before forming the required handseals. Landing on the ram seal, he watched as the plant rose a few centimeters off the surface before falling back down pathetically.

Mikio was about to try it again, but someone calling his name captured his attention. Apparently, the workers actually expected him to do his job instead of playing with flowers, so he thought to just work on the jutsu while he didn't have anything other to do. Whenever they got to the finer details of setting up a piece of equipment, they pushed him aside because they didn't want him to mess anything up. The shinobi didn't take offence to it in the least, he knew that he'd be more likely to break something than he was to set it up correctly.

Besides, the constant breaks he got gave him a chance to work on the new technique, which he liked doing much better than standing still and doing nothing. While all of the "professionals" were busy doing their thing, Mikio was sitting on the ground in front of a blue daisy. The boy glared at the flower for a few seconds before forming the handseals that he was now becoming familiar with, observing the plant as it rose off the ground. After it had reached about a foot and a half, gravity toke over and it fell back down.

Growling lowly, he did it again, this time putting in much more chakra. Mikio watched as the blue flower shot up into the air, stopped a few inches under the ceiling and came crashing back down. The height he wished for was achieved at least, but it hadn't stayed in the air or spun around as fast as he wanted. Deciding that keeping a steady stream of chakra going to the final ram seal was the best option, he did just that. A satisfied glint appeared in his eyes as he watched it go up the same height, stay in the air, and spin around.

A couple of the workers were watching the display as well before another snapped them all out of it and told them to get back to work. Installing the equipment took much longer than the young shinobi hoped it would, but he played with his new flying flowers every chance he got. Mikio started having more flowers go up at a time, increasing the numbers until he had reached a five meter diameter, it seemed to stop growing after that. The others shot him strange looks every once in a while, but he ignored them with ninja expertise, simply doing his job with the added colorful flowers. Once they had finally finished everything up, the red head would wander out of the building, heading back towards the mission place in order to report.
