It wasn't fear. It was knowing her limits. She found herself resting in her tree, but the next few moments? It was lit on fire. The birds that flew and cried out came to slam along the branches and leaves. Quickly lighting the tree alight. As the smoke rose, she could see the shadows stretch as the glowing light illuminated over her form. Which of course included Kusari's devilishly handsome doppelganger's shadow as well. It was there that she looks down, and as it stabs itself, a brilliant flash begins to fill the air.
A hissing sound as an explosion ruptures the tree. Causing a blast that shakes the earth and causes the structural integrity of the tree itself to become compromised. Falling. Crashing down, there seemed to be a burning pyre...Of which the Senju girl didn't come out. Only for that pyre to slowly shake, as wooden tendrils burst forth and pry the fallen timber off of Minazawa's wooden dome. The Mokujoheki. Of which too would come to split open through her convergence technique. Behind and beside her stood the flames, the black smoke billowing into the air as Minazawa coughs hard into her crossed hands, the smoke exacerbating her condition.
It was close. Very close. However, as the clone came to blast, all it took was her desperate clasp to raise the dome to shield herself before the moment of impact, as her branch broke and forced her to descend, before the tree came crashing down before her. Now, here she stood, looking him over with deep and serious eyes. He sought to break her. To force her to defeat. However, she felt more enthused than ever to prove that despite her weaknesses. She was still a ninja worth discussing. She may have been a lowly, weak genin.
However, she still held it. The
Will of Fire. With her snake seal held, she knew then she could still do it. Make an impression.
"Take this!" She declares, and with it, her wooden tendrils, taking advantage of the hazards proceeds to hurl forth three burning branches and pieces of timber in his direction, as to provide an obstacle of which for him to dodge or block, before Minazawa calls on every ounce of strength in her body to move swiftly. Dashing as she weaves her seal and channels forth her greatest Mokuton jutsu.
"Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu (Great Forest Technique)!" Shooting her right arm outward. suddenly, it morphs, as dozens of pillars begin to rush outward and towards him, akin to columns of wood, arcing and twisting their way as they look to envelop him from his sides and above, where if they collided, the blast would occur as they look to concuss and slam before the earth. Minazawa's breathing labored as she coughs, her right hand drifting down to her waist to grasp onto her Kodachi. Her eyes wincing shut as she shows him her vibrant spirit.
NAME: Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu [Wood Release: Great Forest technique]*
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 6
DECRIPTION:
A technique that changes one's own arm into big trees. Using chakra, the tissues are transformed into trees at the cellular level. Then, by activating the trees, stimulating them to grow rapidly, they lengthen at high speed and fork into many branches. It is possible to capture the enemy with these branches and at the same time, if one changes the ends into sharp stakes, turn them into countless, sharp, spear-like piercing weapons.
NAME: Mokuton: Mainā Shūsoku [Wood Release: Minor Convergence]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 1
NOTE: This technique is universal
DECRIPTION:
The user can clasp their hands into a single seal. Thus allowing one to manipulate wood by a minor effort. Thus either creating it, or using nearby sources to fuel the wooden creations. Minor creations such as vines for immobilization, enlarging or moving branches, but only a handful at a time(roughly five). This is for last moment creations, reactive or otherwise innovative on-the-go creations. They are all quick, easy and simple. All costing low costs, but can add up quickly if used excessively. This can be used for last minute defenses, often useful in close range and changing the terrain quickly. Only in a vicinity(diameter) of five meters though. Since it's a lower cost and skilled technique it doesn't grant the ability of long range.
NAME: Mokuton: Mokujōheki [Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall]*
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton [Wood Release]
HANDSEALS: 3
DECRIPTION:
An extremely versatile move, this technique uses chakra to activate the roots in the ground and, using the user of the technique as a reference point, makes wooden pillars appear from left and right. The wooden pillars join together in a dome-shape with the user at the center. This process can be used to catch the enemy in a double sided attack. Also, in case one confronts the enemy at a short distance, the enemy can be locked up inside the dome, setting the situation for a one-on-one fight. This dome can also be collapsed or burnt with the enemy inside to inflict damage. Furthermore, it functions as an easy shelter against the enemy's long-distance attacks, like shuriken and kunai.
