The Blooming Horrors Series; Chuunin Set 「I」

[almondsAndRain]

Blooming Horrors; Withering Grasp 「II」

Type: Ninjutsu [ Plant ].

Rank: Chuunin.

Cost: 150 Chakra.

Damage: 40.

Effects: This technique requires both a Setup Phase action and a Main Phase action to perform, and may be performed twice per battle.

If this technique hits its target, one Chuunin rank Plant technique the user performs next turn that targets the same character may be treated as if it were a Dynamic Trap with its conditions met. The target treats all attacks that were affected by this technique or the technique it evolved from as if they were the same technique for the purposes of the Dynamic Trap bonus. The user is never treated as if they were above Chuunin rank when determining the bonus granted by this technique.

Description: Saku Kyōfu; Koshi Haji.

When the last seal is performed, the user stomps on the ground, their Chakra being carried through the resulting shockwave. It settles under the target, infesting any and all plant life beneath their feet, before forcing the plants to erupt from the Earth. They wrap themselves around the target and squeeze, hoping to crush them. These vines last only a moment, but they are easily manipulated by Plant Chakra, allowing for a quick follow-up attack.

Technique Points: - [ Evolving 1; Blooming Horrors; Withering Grasp 「I」].

 

Blooming Horrors; Budding Romance 「II」

Type: Ninjutsu [ Plant ].

Rank: Chuunin.

Cost: 150 Chakra.

Damage: 80.

Effect: The target is inflicted with one turn of Charmed. When the user is hit by a character Charmed by this attack, the user may pay .5X Chakra to add one turn of a status effect that the Charmed character inflicted on them with that attack to a Plant Element attack that the user performs this turn. X is equal to the CP cost of the status effect and may never be higher than 50.

This technique may be performed twice per battle.

Description: Saku Kyōfu; Shinshin Koiji.

Unlike most Plant techniques, Budding Romance does not directly manipulate flowers, or seeds, or even trees - instead, the user breathes out a cloud of Chakra-laced pheromones that envelopes their target. If they fall victim to its effects, the sudden rush of fear they feel for the user weakens their counter-attacks. Some of these pheromones travel through the target's own Chakra, and strengthens the user's own attacks when contact is made.

Technique Points: - [ Evolving 1; Blooming Horrors; Budding Romance「I」].

 

Blooming Horrors; Devouring Thorns 「II」

Type: Ninjutsu [ Plant ].

Rank: Chuunin. 

Cost: X Chakra.

Effect: The user selects a Set Trap on the field with a base cost of X. That Set Trap may never be activated. X may never be higher than 150. 

This technique may be performed twice per battle.

Description: Saku Kyōfu; Kūfuku no Keikyoku.

Best used by Clones, the one performing this technique launches a small ball of Plant Chakra from their finger at the targeted trap. When hit, a mass of moss, vines, thorns, and quickly spread along the target, countering any Chakra within it and rendering it inoperable.

Technique Points: - [ Evolving 1; Blooming Horrors; Devouring Thorns「I」].

Alright, the Genin versions of these have one moderator approval, so I’m taking a slight risk here and making the Chuunin versions before the first ones are approved-approved. 

 

These are just scaled up versions of the baby techs. The one with the biggest change is Budding Romance, which no longer prevents you from ignoring one of the statuses of a Charmed opponent.

@fuhgahkra@Cloudnine Lemme know when you start approaching Jonin so I can make the next ones!
