Kekkei Genkai:
Name of Kekkei Genkai:
Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi (木遁 - 自然の恵まれ-呪い 'Wood release - Nature's blessed-curse')
Clan:
Senju/Tetsukuzu.
Description:
With the forbidden union of Soria's father, Moriyama Senju, and his blessed mother, Reisei Tetsukuzu, this Kekkei genkai was born. With the blood of the Senju giving its life and synchronicity with the natural world and the Tetsukuzu's nature of understanding and connection with their surroundings a new mutation in the Senju genome occurred birthing forth a unique form of the Mokuton. Rather than simply empower the bodies and merge the water and earth affinities, the Shizen no megumare-noroi causes the inheritor's body and genetics to become excessively malleable. In Soria's case, and formerly in the case of Kishibu his now sadly passed on eldest brother, it causes his mokuton nature to quite literally take root in his body. Due to the prolonged interactions with his affinity and his extensive training, his Mokuton has become less just a chakratic affinity and more a part of his being. He is something of a combination of flora and human DNA at this point, though primarily he IS in fact human. This causes Soria to have a much more attuned sense of his surroundings and actually allows him to use both created and natural vegetation to his greater advantage. While he is certainly no sensory ninja, the flora that share a symbiotic bond with his body have allowed him to better understand the forces which keep both human and plant-life around. This has caused him to have an innate understanding of both water and earth as well as a unique appreciation for the sun and its fiery light.
Thus throughout his life his body has become a unique mixture of flora and human allowing him some rather unique traits. First of all Soria, while unable to do so at a notable speed, is capable of absorbing natural energy through the plant life around him. Secondly Soria is capable of passively regenerating with the tax of his chakra and the amount of useable chakra, both natural and otherwise. In the category of a tertiary ability Soria has gained the capability to modify plant DNA on the fly. However, this tertiary capability has required rigorous training and effort for him to master and fully utilize, and, in particular, it is the ability that makes his brand of Mokuton so unique. After all, he rarely uses the 'tree' based mokuton, rather preferring to utilize the surrounding flora to his advantage. This is, in essence, his kekkei genkai, though there is one final detail to express. Simply that it is a double edged sword as his secondary ability essentially means that with every wound he progressively loses more of his humanity, gradually becoming more and more plant-like. A dark secret indeed, one that he has kept to himself above all else, in fact only his siblings knew of the curse, only his siblings...and 3 of them are dead.

种类恩人- 真髄転の移 'Kind patron - Transference of essence').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Direct or indirect contact.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying his wife's jutsu, Hakei Saisei, Soria has engineered a technique that allows him to utilize his nature chakra and natural affinity for mokuton and yang to infuse dying organisms with additional life energy. However, while Shinsei's technique can also transfer and take energy, this technique cannot and only allows him to infuse flora with life. He can also utilize this technique to infuse elemental ninjutsu with strength, or to infuse naturally occurring elements with it utilizing the Shizen-kai no zōkyō.
Weakness: Direct or indirect contact must be made with the subject that Soria wishes to effect. This can only be applied via his plants or his physical body.
====================
Name of Technique: Shizen-kai no zōkyō(
自然界の増強 'Augmentation of the Natural Realm').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: A
Range: Direct contact; Indirect contact; Within 6 yards.
Nature Type: Natural.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By utilizing Shurei onjin - Shinzui ten no Utsuri, Soria is capable of infusing notably inanimate entities with what amounts to life. This is a rather taxing technique when used in this fashion however, this is not its only use. Generally, Soria uses this technique to amplify both his own mokuton jutsu and surrounding flora for a unique effect. When applied to surrounding flora it will amplify their growth and evolutionary potential greatly and strengthen the defense and structure of the plant(s). This causes the plants within a 6 yard radius, or subjected to his direct or indirect contact to become at least twice as resistant to normal weaknesses, such as fire (C rank resistance). When applied to his mokuton jutsu it amplifies their resistance even further due to their already augmented form via his unique chakra affinities, thus they become more resistant to B rank and below fire jutsu, though they can still be damaged if the jutsu is potent enough. Additionally they gain a natural resistance to being cut causing even steel blades to have trouble cutting through in a single fell swoop.
Weakness: Limited range. Augmenting surrounding flora is more taxing than augmenting his mokuton jutsu. Chakra cost is dependent on how many jutsu are amplified and the rank of said jutsu, or simply by the sheer amount of plant-life surrounding Soria within a 6 yard radius. Augmenting inanimate entities is twice as difficult and takes intense focus.
====================
Name of Technique: Chō shizen no shinka(
超自然の進化 'Supernatural evolution').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Natural; Yang.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: By utilizing already established connections with the plants under his control including ones formed from his jutsu directly, Soria will activate or modify portions of their DNA respectively and alter the plant's evolutionary probabilities. Simultaneously he will cause plants to cross pollinate despite the type of plant and thus cause them to share or take on processes of their neighbors upon dropping seeds. In essence this technique speeds up the growth cycle of the particular plants and allows Soria to also alter and activate dormant strands of DNA to his own purposes.
Weakness: Despite the processes of the plants being much quicker than normal, the technique still takes time to so greatly modify their nature and purpose. Depending on the complexity of the changes to the given organism, this jutsu will take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. This techniques takes a constant, but negligible drain on Soria's chakra.
====================
Name of Technique: Shizen niku no dōka(
自然肉の同化 'Assimilation of the Natural flesh').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton – Shizen no megumare-noroi
Handseals: 6.
Description: By utilizing his own flesh and unique DNA sequence, Soria propagates his symbiotic cells and either splits them off from his body or further amplifyies their growth speed with yang while regulating their purpose and balance with natural energy and the Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi. This propagation and purposing of cells takes two turns which each chain into their own unique technique. The cells created from this technique are especially vulnerable until entered into their completed forms.
Weakness: Chakra and focus intensive.
====================
Name of Technique: Kyōsei(
共生 'Symbiosis').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Direct or Indirect contact.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 2.
Description: By utilizing Shizen niku no dōka and keeping the propagating flesh either on himself or implementing it with another individual, he can replace and regrow limbs or body parts entirely. This technique is an extremely advanced healing technique and cannot be used in battle. However, he can utilize the application of this and split a portion of the propagated flesh from his body, using it to track or mark targets as long as the symbiotic cells remain attached.
Weakness: Not useable in battle. Takes time to adapt the cells to other individuals for use in healing. Incredibly chakra intensive. Relies on the use of Shizen nku no dōka. Additionally, direct or indirect contact is required.
====================
Name of Technique: Mori no ko(
森の子 'Child of the Forest').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 4.
Description: By first utilizing Shizen niku no dōka, Soria then splits up to two portions of it from his body and purposes the cells with a format almost identical to his own. The cells will propagate and alter their purposes, forming vines of mixed symbiotic cells until they weave together and form up to two clones. This jutsu is unique in that, if coupled with a slight use of Kyōsei to extract cells from another individual, it can create what amounts to an almost exact physical copy of either the user or designated individual. These clones are capable of utilizing all of Soria's jutsu with the exclusion of Shurei onjin - Shinzui ten no Utsuri. The thing that makes these clones so special is they acquire the ability to merge with other flora seamlessly, either to imbue their life force and partial sentience, to hide, or for another purpose, such as traveling between the connections of flora much like
Kagerō, though detectable and only with the sacrifice of all other jutsu while in use. Additionally these clones cannot be dispersed, an aspect worked in by Soria's studies of the Moku bunshin no jutsu. Additionally, due to the Mori no ko's strange nature, any damage done to the clone will appear the same as if you had damaged the actual Soria. The only notable difference between Mori no ko and Soria himself is their lack of totally independent sentience and the fact that the chakra system of any given Mori no ko is not nearly as complex as the chakra system of a living being, this is their only derivative and thus they essentially trick all dōjutsu with the sole exclusion of the byakugan. It should be noted that when material from a Mori no ko gets on someone, it can be tracked or tapped into by Soria in much the same was that Kyōsei can be used.
Weakness: The clones are limited to two at any given time, Soria can only create 8 of these, in total, before becoming totally exhausted regardless of his extensive chakra pool and natural energy. While they cannot be dispersed, Mori no ko can be damaged like any other being and can and will become crippled or die from extensive wounds. A single clone takes a whole 20 seconds to fully form and become useable making them especially vulnerable until fully formed.
====================
Name of Technique: Genshi-ko no taihai(
原始子の退廃 'Decadence of the Primal Child').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 10.
Description: Soria's best hidden, most advanced, and darkest jutsu, the Genshi-ko no taihai is a well guarded secret. Created through something of an accident and an attempt to vent the seed of hatred in his core, Soria utilized Shizen niku no dōka and the result was this unnaturally jet-black seed. Beginning to grow at a rate far out of Soria's control, the seed parasitically sapped his chakra almost to the point of death, even robbing him of a few years of his life in the process. Having barely managed to cut the flow of the seed, Soria found that its presence latched on to the secret garden of his laboratory and began to drain the life force of the surrounding flora as well. He quickly suppressed and cut its link once more, but not before it had accumulated an absolutely astonishing amount of chakra that he could not risk extracting without danger to his life and those of the surrounding individuals and nature itself.
Bottom-line, the Genshi-ko no taihai is an extreme parasitic life form of unknown intelligence and filled with the blackness of Soria's hate and anger. To keep it as isolated from its surroundings, Soria has actually designed part of his internal body to house the Genshi-ko no taihai safely. This area of his body cuts off the seed from growth and the rest of Soria's body, becoming the literal seed of hate and anger inside of him. Incidentally, Soria can, at the risk of himself, draw upon the massive chakra within the seed by temporarily allowing it to cannibalize on his negative emotions and degrade his life force at an exceptional rate. The only individual who knows anything regarding the Genshi-ko no taihai is his wife, Shinsei, and it should be noted that should he ever have to use this technique and its corresponding evil for longer than even a minute, he would be consumed and the consequences would be impossible to predict.
Weakness: Listed in the jutsu itself. This allows an extremely limited, 30 yard hemisphere negative emotions sensing ability –the ability can only sense very strong killing intent, hatred, and anger.
