Uekiya (Gardener) Clan

[Paksennarion]

Name: Uekiya (Gardener)

Summary: The clan specializes in jutsus that affect the growth and healing of plants. They are able to easily manipulate any flower and plants. With these abilities, the clan has been able to manufacture genetically enhanced flowers, which the clan uses as weapons. Because of constant working with plants for centuries, the members of this clan are naturally intoned with the life-force of all plants around them, enabling to blend in their chakra with plants causing them to grow and heal at much faster rates than normally possible.

History: For many centuries the clan has lived in the Suna. Not many people know much about the Uekiya, for they keep to themselves, not caring much for fame. They are a peaceful clan, focused on the growth and wellbeing of the plants and herbs of Suna. Living in the desert, there aren’t many places where plants and herbs could grow naturally. This is were the clan originated from, knowing that medicinal herbs were going to be in great need for injured shinobi, the Uekiya family was appointed with the task of finding ways to grow them. Quickly getting to work, the clan established one of the first greenhouses for medicinal herbs in the Suna. After having huge successes with the greenhouses, the clan gradually expanded onto other plants, now housing various types of plants and flowers all over the Suna.

Traits: There isn’t one physical trait that is common between all of the members of the Uekiya clan. Thus being, the clan distinguishes itself by wearing their family crest on their clothing, usually embedded into the backs.

Notes: Over the centuries, the Uekiya have experimented with plants, cross-breeding and genetically enhancing them. These experiments have provided a few successes and the clan has been able to produce some very unique plants that are used in various ways. Their first success was creating a plant that could withstand the harsh conditions of Suna and able to grown in the desert sand. Other examples of plants are plants whose vines that easily absorb the Uekiya clans causing them to become harder than steel and various herbs with different healing attributes.

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.
