_______________________

Name: Uekiya, Isaku

Age: 12

Gender: Male

Village: Sand

Ninja Rank: Academy Student

Clan: Uekiya (Gardener)

Isaku was born into the Uekiya clan, a small and peaceful family of plant caretakers. Originating from the Sand village, the Uekiya started as a small family of gardeners instructed with taking care of the herbs and plants kept in the greenhouses of Suna. Living in a desert, it was crucial that these precious medical herbs were properly cultivated and taken care of. Not caring much for violence, the family spent their time researching new and better ways to allow them to grow plants easier and make them healthy. Using various secret formulas and jutsus created by the elders, the clan is able to manipulate and grow plants easily.

Looks: Standing at about 4’8”and weighing about 85 pounds, Isaku is of average height and weight for his age. His hair, cut just below the neck, is a light blonde, and his bangs are parted to each side of his face to reveal his deep emerald eyes. His skin is fair, only covered in a slight tan from spending most of his time outside with nature. He has no scars on his body or any sign of damage along his skin. The boy is not muscular but also not skinny that makes him look scrawny. If close enough to the boy, a feint fragrance of the scent given of by flowers after being bathed in a midnight rain, cause by Isaku’s constant closure to the family’s garden.

Isaku’s attire is often the same, never really changing much. Usually opting for darker colors, the boy wears a long sleeve, black shirt which he leaves unbuttoned. On the back of the shirt a symbol depicting the family crest is engraved in white. Underneath the unbuttoned shirt is usually a white tee unless he decides to go without one. His pants are usually formal, only wearing black dress pants. Around the boy’s neck is a small black choker with the family crest dangling from it.

Personality: Isaku is very kind hearted and optimistic. He is very trusting to the point were he has often been taken advantage of in the past, but he does not let it get to him always trying to see the good in others. Isaku is the type of person that likes to always keep a smile no matter what is troubling him, never really telling others how he really feels as to not trouble them. He has a habit of sarcastically, over exaggerating emotions.

Being raised around plants, Isaku grew to love their beauty at a young age. He likes to spend his free time in the family gardens and always carries a rose around with him. He strives to grow stronger so that one day he might be able to spread the beauty of his flowers around the world.

Special Characteristics: Isaku is very agile and nimble. He was born with the natural ability to mask his footsteps, always walking so quietly that he seems to appear out of nowhere when greeting others. Over the years he has been able to increase his ability to move around silently to the extent where he is able to mask his presence from others.

Elements: Water, Wind.

Skills/Specialties: Main: Plants Sub: Moving Quietly.

Jutsu’s:

~Name: Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: D
Description:
This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.
The Body Flicker technique has various variations among the different hidden villages, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand. Gaara, for instance, uses the "Sand Body Flicker" (Suna-Shunshin), which uses sand to cover his movements. Other varieties include the "Mist Body Flicker" (Kiri-Shunshin), "Water Body Flicker" (Mizu-Shunshin), and "Leaf Body Flicker" (Konoha-Shunshin).

~Name: Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This jutsu allows the user to assume the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu.

~Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise, which Sasuke has done twice in the anime. Fundamentally, all ninja know this technique.
The anime has a number of other objects being used for this jutsu, such as a boulder, mud, a scarecrow, and even a large rolled-up carpet. These items are usually nowhere in sight, suggesting that they are merely gags meant to lighten up the situation and not an actual part of the jutsu. Additionally, the normal practice of switching places with a section of log is done in several places that have no such thing anywhere nearby.
This technique is sometimes referred to as the Art of Projection ("Utsusemi no Jutsu") in other manga and anime series.

~Name:
Rank: N/A
Type: Clan Passive.
Chakra Usage: N/A
Description: Because of centuries of working with plants, members of the Uekiya have an acute sensibility to the life force of plants around them. This enables them to mold their chakra in a certain way that allows them to easily transfer it into plants allowing them to grow and/or heal at a much faster rate.

~Name: Hachinohana (Flower Grown in a Pot)
Rank: D
Type: Clan Supplementary jutsu
Range: Self
Chakra Usage: 4
Description: The user places a special seed created by the Ueki clan into the clan weapon, the Uekiboshi, and then inserts a small burst of chakra to release the lock mechanism on the weapon. When the lock mechanism is removed, the chakra that has been stored inside the weapon flows into the seed causing it to grow. Depending on the seed placed inside, the plant will grow, taking the shape of either of two weapons. If a red seed is placed, a vine will grow taking the form of a traditional Japanese katana. The vine will absorb the chakra causing it to become harder than steel. If a green seed is placed, a thick vine, longer than the vine formed by the red seed will form. Unlike the red seed, the vine formed by the green seed will not absorb the chakra leaving it with a fluid, whip-like form. Once fully developed, the vines made by both seeds will form thorns all around it. This can only be used once per battle, allowing the weapon to only have one form in a fight for it takes a while to store up the amount of chakra needed into the weapon. The amount of time the plant will stay in the weapon form depends on how much chakra is stored into the weapon. The user can also stop the process by re-enabling the lock mechanism. Once the chakra flow to the seed stops, the plant withers up and dies, requiring a new seed each time the weapon is to be used.

~Name: Hanadoki no Jutsu (Flowering Season Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Genjutsu
Chakra Usage: 3
Description: The opponent begins to see many flowers blooming all around him, until he finds him/herself standing amidst a field of flowers. The opponents mind is tricked into thinking it is allergic causing the opponents sinuses to act up. While the jutsu is in affect the opponent is afflicted with random sneezing and a runny nose

History/Background Story: From early childhood, Isaku was always surrounded by nature. Being born to the clan which took care for the greenhouses in the Suna, Isaku grew to love flowers at a young age. He spent most of his time in the clan’s estate, eagerly learning all he could about plants and flowers. These objects which over stimulated the senses fascinated the boy. The way the beautiful colors shone in the light, the way their soft fragrance soothed the soul, and the softness of the petals as he caressed them, every aspect of them kept the boy yearning to learn more about them. The Uekiya estate was pretty large, closed off everywhere by glass-like walls which gave the whole area a greenhouse effect. The whole estate was a huge garden filled with many plants of all kinds. The boy had never travelled outside the walls and was naïve to the world around him. One day, his parents asked the boy to run an errand that required him to fetch some materials from outside the clan’s walls. This was the first time the boy laid eyes upon the world he lived in. He was distraught; he did not know such a place existed, a place void of the vivid smells and colors provided by the greenery. Looking at the dull desert, Isaku could not help but feel a void. The desert seemed so lonely and depressing. It was then that the boy vowed to grow stronger in order to one day fill the world with beauty.

ROLE PLAY SAMPLE: A slight breeze flowed across Isaku’s face as he sleeps atop a tree branch, the wind toying with his hair. The sounds of birds chirping in the distance wake Isaku who begins to groggily get up. With a stretch and a moan Isaku jumps of the tree and onto the luscious garden that is the Uekiya estate. The boy looked around, always entranced by the beautiful scenery that surrounded him, if only the rest of the world could see this too. Suddenly, a small rustling in the leaves alarmed Isaku. Quickly he dashed off in the direction of the noise, disappearing into the distance. After a short distance, Isaku stopped, hiding behind some trees. He quietly watched the thicket in front of him. After a few seconds, it finally revealed himself, a young desert fox. Isaku smiled to himself as it appeared tat he was the first to notice. Isaku brushed the hair out of his face as he reached up and pulled out the rose which he always carried behind his ear. In a swift motion the boy tossed the flower in front of the small fox as a distraction. As the critter’s attention was turned to the flower in front of him, Isaku swooped on behind him undetected and captured the fox within a net. Isaku ran, quickly trying to reach the gates of the estate before he was caught. Safely he reached the gates in no time. Taking a look around to make sure he was alone, Isaku placed the net on the floor.

“Quickly young one, you must return back into the wild before anyone sees you.”

Isaku smiled as he watched the young fox trot along the desert sand back to safety. Unlike the rest of the clan, Isaku could never bring himself to harm such a cute, defenseless weapon. He was supposed to dispose of all trespassers like these by killing them and would be in big trouble if he was caught. Luckily no one was around and Isaku was not…..
“I….Saaa…Kuu!!”
Isaku’s hairs stood on ends as he heard the voice of his father creep up on him.
“Boy! How many times do I have to tell you to kill those Darned things, that’s the fifth one this week!”
”B..but…”
“While that thing looks all cute and cuddly now, in the future it might become a threat to this garden and then what? What if it…”
”Pfft. Yea, Pops like he’s really going to….”
*Slap*
“How dare you talk like that to me, boy? Sometime I just….I…Hmph.”
Isaku’s father turned around, leaving before his anger took the better of him.
“That boy is too naïve for his own good.”
Isaku rubbed his check where his father’s hand had marked him. All the while Isaku was smiling, feeling the punishment was totally worth having been able to have saved a life.
