[nospaces] [attr="class","skullhover"] [attr="class","skullimg"] [attr="class","skulltitle"] Autumn [attr="class","skulloverlap"]I will lead us to it. Definitely. [attr="class","skullbody"]It seemed the actual topic was shifting again, and Ichi wasn't opposed to the turn it was taking either. Shosuke was stating Ichi's own sentiments back at him, and it was something that he was welcoming of. To focus on what you were good at was how you best assisted the people around you, and to suddenly switch to something other then the path he had been cultivating for nearly a decade now felt more then wrong in the eyes of the young man. He had been working on doubling down, and as a response almost in kind, the expanse of the technique Ichi had had around them seemed to grow out further, and further. More then doubling in size as if to show he agreed. [break][break]
Waiting for the young man to finish, the almost off-guard language of the young man next to him gave Ichi a hint of the general lack of plan that both of them had. That was fine, however, as Shosuke's words were just as good a substitute to what he needed to do in the moment as any. Inspiration sparking in his silver eyes as he raised his arm in a gesture of what was around them, "Then let what is around us be a lesson in itself my friend. You can always persist in what you are after and find a way to succeed. However, what is most important isn't persistance here. As you seem aware, Mokuton is incredibly flexible - to a degree I believe that what makes Mokuton such a power bloodline ability comes from that." [break][break]
"Expansive, restrictive, entangling, powerful, sharp and blunt, deadly yet not so subtly protective. Its traits are incredibly versatile, and to most that is the end reach of truly being a master of mokuton. I practice a very strange version myself given my barriers, but the traits I am able to display are the same, they are just less condensed by decades of practice and learning. My personal focus has been perfecting these techniques of mine, and as you can surely tell - expansion was the so called 'poison' that I have chosen to focus within," Ichi would speak like an orator in a lecture again, though the genuine calm and joyful cheer made it far less dry to listen. One could hope a young speaker such as he wouldn't get so utterly boring just yet anyways.[break][break]
"Unlike a lot of shinobi I do not focus in arts of subterfuge, I do not have much use for the more contained mokuton jutsu one can learn from the Senju. I seek to truly replicate nature's massive expanse as a way to shape whole battlefields. War is still always a threat and when you can't focus on firepower for fear of destroying your own kin in the process you need to get creative. For me it was to warp the earth to fit the role I needed it to, and my chakra and nature responded in kind. I believe that potentially finding an area of Mokuton that you can grasp and feel within both your intentions, when you use it, and your molding of chakra is where you should focus your efforts. To that degree I can certainly still assist, in either helping you discover your area of focus, or I can help you to also learn how to be expansive. The choice there is yours though Shosuke-San."

『Harvest Moon's Child』 Ichi was born to the Nakahara clan on the night of a Harvest Moon. Born with quite the green thumb he was assumed to be an inheritor of the clan's natural talents with plants. The roots ran deeper, however, as Ichi was born with a Kekkai Genkai, being a rare natural occurance of Wood Release outside of the Senju. In learning of this he has trained his kekkai to the best of his abilities. He is no master, seeing as he has no reference of Mokuton, but he has found a way to bring out techniques along side his own talents in a cohesive manner.
[Cosmetic Only: All Mokuton techniques Ichi uses appear as his favorite trees, though it has no real change as is.]
[break][break] 『Weaver of Wood』 Ichi was born with Mokuton, but he was not graced with the same level of chakra as the Senju would be in his situation. Being roughly average for an individual, Ichi instead focused on the skills his birth clan preferred. Practicing his medical skills, he has gained a higher quality of Chakra Control. Ichi is much less likely to leak chakra than the average shinobi because of this.
[break][break] 『The Festival's Atmosphere』 Having practiced his skills with extending his senses outwards with the use of mokuton chakra, Ichi is particularly adept at sensing life in an area. Capable of finding life through the very nature around people. Within [20 meters] Ichi is capable of passively sensing out plant and animal life in a general sense. Able to differentiate it between plant and animal, but no further. Unlike chakra sensory Ichi can not more or less readily sense others based on their chakra, but instead purely senses the 'vitality' in things, though even those with seemingly boundless vitality will read the same as the elderly or a newborn to him. Also unlike usually sensory to actively search out individuals Ichi requires Mokuton, or the use of his pipe (though using it makes his position much easier to locate), as a catalyst to extend his senses, only going out as far as the technique's range, or twice his passive range in case of the pipe. It is also notable that the deceased, and those that feign death in some fashion, as through a poison or a jutsu, are completely invisible to Ichi. Notably the furthest he can extend his senses is [100 meters].[break][break]
『Master of Festival Games』
Ichi is incredibly smart for someone his age, but he lacks the qualifications to be a scholar. This is because his intelligence is not found in understanding of principles and anything so magnificiently deep. It instead lies in his observational talents and ability to react to everything that is going on around him with an absolute calm. Being able to plan and act with just minute details to go off of, Ichi is best described as a schemer and a diplomat rather than a genius. This makes him perfect for roles that are heavy in Tactical and Diplomatic Decision Making, as he grasps larger images and can put together clues better than others. Effectively allowing him to take in the wider picture of everything going on and piece together practical responses in mere moments with little to no hesitation or error.
