The destination of her travel now was Konohagakure. Spending days and days passing by the lands, getting nearer to where she set her foot to. The forenoon was at that time. Sun just set its light over the horizon and outskrits of the Konohagakure could be seen. But as she approached the lands closer and closer a figure could be seen. The looks of it weird, skeleton like. Nothing like this has she seen so far. But that man was not to come in her way, she had to reach the Konohagure gates as to deliver a message. As she came in vicinity to him she spoke.
''I was not expecting to run into someone in these lands nor do I expect for you to just let me continue my travel.''
She looked the man directly into the eyes as she continued talking.
''But before I do, continue my travel, I want to know your name?''
Skulduggery turned to face the woman, she was a beautiful young looking woman, but that infamous cloak meant trouble. Usually.
"Oh no no no, don't let me keep you. And m' name is Skulduggery Pleasant."
Skulduggery turns to the side, still facing the Blue Flower and stretching his arm out in the direction she is going, tipping his hat forward slightly with the other hand.
You could feel the fear in his voice. Maybe it was just her imagination or maybe it was truth. But she wasn't suppose to be seen in the lands. It was by secrete that she went to Konoha. If some were to find out, it would bring great troubles to her. Although she was not one to start the battles, there was no other choice.
''You see. Although I am not the one that likes to get into conflicts nor start ones, I wasn't suppose to be seen here.''
Her voice calm, with a slight compassion to it.
''I am sorry, but some things must be done.''
Once the words left her mouth, Konan performed two hand seals before causing a portal to be opened within the sky. From the portal very heavy, adhesive and thick mud would start falling at the skeleton man's location.
(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) – Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user does 2 handseals (Ram → Snake) and creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of sticky mud (in all similar to that of Swamp of the Underworld Technique), covering them. The mud is very heavy and thick as well as adhesive, making it impossible to move if caught and easily crushing an enemy underneath. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.
As she has done so, in an instant she changed the type of chakra she was infusing her paper sheets with to the one of wind, making each and every one of the sheets to be coated into a blade of sorts, making it pretty easy to cut through flesh and make damage. She started unnoticeably streaming uncountable number of paper sheets into the ground below between the two.
(Seishitsu no Mai) - Dance of Nature
(Hasu Shussei) – Lotus BloomType: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 for activation (+5 to change already infused element)
Damage: N/A
Description:
Konan will infuse paper with elemental chakra (Wind or Earth element) and give paper sheets a specific set of abilities depending on the elemental chakra infused into them. If the user infuses Doton chakra into paper she will be able to change properties of paper in two ways:
- First way is to make paper much more sturdy, almost unbreakable by normal physical power, those paper sheet would be able to go against swords/weapons and similar metal objects as well as having bigger impact damage but at the same time being heavier.
- Second way is to by manipulating earth chakra to make paper much more lighter thus increasing its movement speed. Paper would become fast enough to become blurred to the naked eye yet still trackable.
If the user infuses Futon chakra, the paper will be engulfing in a wind aura which will increase the paper's sharpness, allowing it to cut human flesh more easily. This is possible because of the wind chakra forming a type of wind blade around each paper sheet, allowing it to cut without necessarily having paper touch the opponent. Dance of Nature is used to enhance the power of a certain paper technique. Only one paper technique per turn can be affected by Dance of Nature. If the user performs a paper technique combined with the paper influenced by Dance of Nature, the power of the created technique will be equal to the element alone; for example, Paper technique of B-rank with infused Wind chakra will be equal to power of a B-ranked Futon technique. Activation of Dance of Nature is instant, it only requires the user to induce an already existing paper ninjutsu technique with chakra from their element of choice (earth or wind) and lasts up to 4 turns. The user is able to change the element with which paper is infused as she releases the paper technique.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle.
Note: Lasts for 4 turns.
Note: Can only be used by Konan.
Note: Can only be taught by Akasha.

Description: Konan will stream a large mass of paper sheets into the ground below, before causing them to surface directly beneath the opponent. The sheets will surface around the opponent in the shape of a blooming flower, with their position being the center point of the formation. The source of paper will span out fifteen meters (mid-range) in every direction around the opponent, leaving them completely surrounded. This allows the user to manipulate the sheets of paper directly from the terrain itself to perform various jutsus. However this jutsu can't be used to attack the opponent directly.

Skulduggery was pretty bummed, he let a big sigh when his new opponent said she was going to have to kill him instead of just walking on by - he was just a Skeleton Minding his own business. He saw she did two hand seals and noticed the shadow around him form so he glanced up and saw the mud appearing from the portal.
"Did you make the flower yourself?" He referred to the one in her hair and made a snake hand seal at the same time, this forms a half down with an extra steep front so that mud hits the top and slides down the front so that it ruins yo crawling papers that I dont know about he just wanted use the mud as extra defense lel definitely. It hides him from her and he had left a large opening at the back...

...which he jumped back out of and summoned four packs of Cards in holsters, he latched them to his belt and ran to the left - arcing around whilst drawing and throwing multiple cards. If Skulduggery arced all the way around the full 90 degrees he would have thrown 6 cards in total all aimed for her body.

1/4 Dance of Nature
As you form a dome just in front of you, making mud fall onto the ground, paper sheets start arising from the ground taking a shape of a blooming flower in which center you were standing. Blooming flower would take an area of 15 meters all around you, surrounding you from all sides.
Once she could notice your body just out the dome, she manipulated paper from the ground coated in wind chakra forming a tornado directly around you. Once formed, the tornado, enhanced with wind chakra, with each paper being coated in a blade, would start to shrink as to penetrate through your body.
(Rōtasutorunēdo) - Lotus Tornado
Type: Offensive
Rank: A rank
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description:
Technique itself can be performed by either using preexisting paper which is dispersed on the ground after usage of (Hasu Shussei) – Lotus Bloom or (Shikigami no Mai) - Dance of the Shikigami or can be used by infusing chakra into separate paper (as in not paper from the ground). User of the technique would by manipulating paper form a paper tornado directly around opponent. As the tornado is formed around the opponent it would start to compress itself around the opponent until it crushes them. Every paper sheet which is inside of paper tornado would turn around it's own axis and thus gain razor sharpness being able to cut through human flesh at touch.
Note: Can only be used by Konan bio
Note: Can only be used 4 times per battle
Note: Can only be taught by Akasha
As to tornado is being formed, with the Dance of Nature still active, Konan would change the type of chakra that she is infusing into paper to the one of earth, changing the weight of paper sheets to much lighter ones and thus increasing their speed. Upon forming a ring of paper shurikens around her body, Konan would send them flying towards you. But she'd manipulate them as to firstly miss you, reaching around 4 meters in front of your position before once again manipulating them as to attack you from back.
