 TAG HERE  We're no hero inside, we're the monster you need. Jumping branch to branch, limb to limb, the Mikatakujira apprentice scanned the area for any rogue agents. It was quite a routine for her to patrol not only around Takigakure for any immediate threats but proactive monitoring within Bonchi no Kuni to take out threats before they became threats. Under her own supervision, she could rest calmly knowing each day the village was safe. But, there were some things that were uneasy to her. It wasn't the wild animals nor was it the hidden bandits she found on occasion, whether or not they were planning to hit the village, it was the lone travelers she was weary of. Ever since her run-in with the inexplicable EGF user, Kunikunosaku couldn't help but second guess any wayward traveler who claim to be lost, despite Bonchi no Kuni being a labyrinth to the uninitiated. The Mikatakujira honed in on even the vegetation and animal quality of life. Protruding no scent, Kuni is able to get up closer and monitor each fauna or carnivore closely. Some things could be undetectable by her and utilizing the native inhabitants was an easy way to acclimate a rough synopsis of the environment even beyond what her eyes could tell her. Hours of searching came up with nothing, merely silence. "Maybe today isn't a good day for patrolling?" TEMPbyAi ♥ 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. JUTSU(S) USED: N/A EQUIPMENT USED: 01 | Ikari to Hisan (Continuous) |
