[/b][/center]Mokuton: Juhi Kikuo No Jutsu (Bark Armor Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The users covers themselves in bark for protection.
Special: Handseals “Snake” “Ram” “Horse” “Ram”
Drawback: None
Description: The user will perform the handseals and a layer of wood will cover parts of the user’s body. This wood will cover the upper arms, the forearms, the back of the hand, the chest, the thighs, the shins, and will form a helmet on the top of the head. Basically it will be stylized Samurai Armor made of bark. This bark is tough enough to stop medium strength blows and a few sword cuts.
Limit: Mokuton Jutsu
I found myself secluded from the rest of the village, in a quiet park. The mist kept my form hidden in the woods. The soil under my feet was soft, and the sky gray with clouds. It was truly a a dreary scene, but one I found to be soothing nonetheless. I still walked with the three Mizu Bunshins I had made not to long ago before entering the village gates. They each stood in different locations around the woods, though they really couldn't go that far from the host to begin with.
Today's jutsu would revolve around the Mokuton release. I enjoyed techniques that dealt with wood, for they were more powerful than most techniques found in other releases. The seals had been reviewed along the way from the village gate to this park, so I would find a dry spot upon the forest floor to begin the jutsu. Realistically, I sat myself between two trees, for I did not know what to expect when doing this jutsu. My hands quickly began to form the four sets of handseals required.

I felt a surge of chakra exit my body as the trees around me shook. As if I were peeling an orange, the bark upon the trees would begin to unravel around the base of the tree, stretching out towards me. I looked both ways, wondering if this would be successful or not. It didn't go as perfect as I had hoped, because before I knew it, I was smacked across the back of the head. I had to gain control over the bark, but that would take a bit more work than I had assumed. I cut my connection off.
I would need to re-do this, and try it over again. Obviously, through creating the handseals, I was suppose to be capable of controlling the wood to shape wooden armor. My hands quickly began to re-form the handseals for the jutsu. I did them much faster this time, and I remained focus on the technique even after accomplishing them soon afterward. The wood would once again come to life, stretching out towards me as if the tree were attempting to hug me. They moved to my will.
Closing my eyes now, I envisioned the grand armor of a samurai. The sound of wood chipping and rapping around my form could be heard. I felt the weight of it form around me, though it did not constrict me, nor did it harm me in anyway. I slowly worked on forming the armor to perfection, though I didn't really expect to have it completely straight the first time. After a few more moments, the trees grew silent. I opened my eyes, looking through the visor opening cut into the helmet.
"Hmmm..."

I looked towards the trees around me to see that they had been stripped of their outer layer of flesh. I stood up from my seat to see how much the armor really weighed against my form. Of course, with the protective attire I already wore, it did place a bit of pressure upon me, but I was good enough to fight. The wood even cocooned the sheathe upon my back, allowing me to grasp the katana's hilt with ease. I grinned slightly and then moved around a bit with my right hand rapped around my blade.
"This it?"
