Modding is so troublesome But I guess I’ll do it.

Yoshida Ena a former kunoichi of Iwa. While Iwagakure has agreed to provided some information on her and allow our shinobi to hunt her not everything was listed. They claim that there were a lot of unknowns in her file but this what we say about our own shinobi as well when we don’t want to provide more info so be cautious of surprises.

What is known is that she was chuunin upon desertion and that she specialized in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu to some degree. Made her an effective member for her brief stunt in the explosion corps coupled with her Raiton chakra nature.

It has been two months since she left her village and while she has roamed some of the other nation recently, she has once more been spotted in Tsuchi no Kuni.

---

Ena’s location has been narrowed down towards the borders with Bonchi no Kuni but unknown exactly were.

She was known for her temper and search for fights so it is possible she has made her base in a town known as Uryū. It’s popular with its illicit activities chief of which being the underground fights that got organized.

Near the town is the Same Plain, known for it’s viscous animals and unhospitable environment but also where some of the rougher bandits of Tsuchi no Kuni originate from. It is possible Ena is trying to establish herself there.

Another possible location is the temple complex on the other side of Uryū. Previously it had been the base of some minor religion until a rival wiped it out. Now the complex stands abandoned but it is known that the occasional wander-nin and even missing-nin passes through it so it’s possible Ena might be there as well

...

We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need.

Not only was it her first assigned task but also her first time going to Iwa by her lonesome, she prefferd that it be this way. It left her alone to her thoughts, kept her focused on the task at hand. Gearing up to her full capacity, Kunikunosaku prepared her shinobi equipment for an intense battle while going over what she out of everyone is allowed to know. Assigned to her was an Iwagakure Kunoichi Nuke via desertion. Chūnin at the time and a known ninjutsu/taijutsu specialist. Raiton was the name of her game and Kuni cracked a smile at that info. It meant she could get the heart she lost back and save her the trouble of having to do it all over again with a new element. Other than being recently seen at Tsuchi no Kuni, near the Takigakure borders. Narrowed to three locations.

Each one made Kuni question her decision hard. The locations were known to be hotspots for more the underbelly of society. But, there was one thing, well, multiple things Kuni had that made her one of the more effective non-Shukan shinobi to hunt Nukes. Given the locations they narrowed, Kuni used her tendrils to pull in her Takigakure headband. She needed to maintain an incognito status if hr plan was to work. Given her choice was known to have an illicit fight club in the town but obviously hidden for good reasons, Kuni could cause quite a stir if she threatens any big name and takes them out. She can keep going, they can't well, as far as she presumes.

Going over final checks, the Kunoichi focused her sights on the town of Uryū. Why search for her when she can make her come to her. At least, that was the Chūnin's reasoning. Ready for action, the girl set course for Uryū, ready for a possible gauntlet match.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body
As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

Power of a God:
After a great time learning how to control Jiongu, Kunikunosaku has learned to store chakra in each of her threads so long as they continue to be attached to at least one of her hearts. This extra storage capacity allows the girl to amass greater amounts of chakra within herself, expanding her reserves beyond that of the normal shinobi her rank. As with many other abilities, this ability continues to grow as the girl does through the ranks and years.

Cursed Master:

As a reward for attaining a greater deal of control over her symbiotic relationship with Jiongu, Kunikunosaku acquired the keys to the gate of mastering her abilities. This new boon allows Kunikunosaku to double the impact of her EGF ninjutsu. In addition, a passive boon is the ability to completely negate Jiongu's manipulation to consume more hearts. These boons together allow Kuni to further manipulate Jiongu against its basic natures, improving her unique utilization. While still young and unrefined, the ability is expected to grow as their bond deepens to even further levels.
