Tell me everything you know about Roots. (weakness, strength, etc) How would you incorporate in your fighting style. Hold onto this root for awhile Akiza-chan
*tosses you a detached root*
-Kurama catches the root with her other hand while she finishes the song she was playing on the grass whistle, and she then blows it away, imbuing it with a little wind chakra to help its flight.-
Ah. ^_^ You've arrived. And Akiza? No I am her Kaguya counterpart you could say, Kurama...Akiza's busy doing other things, I'm afraid. But I shall share what I learn here with her.
Well, -examines the root- Roots are the beginning of everything, you could say. From a tiny seed to a great tree, which is nothing without a solid base in its roots. We ourselves as people have a beginning as well, perhaps not as plantlike as this root, but we do nonetheless originate from something, our solid base, so to speak.
Now. As for this root you have given to me, we do have weaknesses and strengths to it...fire of course can burn it to ashes, slicing winds such as in tornadoes can rip it to shreds, water in the form of ice, can freeze it instantly and make it useless.
As for its strengths, as it absorbs water and nutrients from this earth, liquid water is an obvious strength, and with enough force, roots can maim the earth and cause cracks in its plates.
I have always had an affinity for plants, young Yusuke. As you know, I use my bones to fight those who dare to oppose me in the field of battle, and as I use my Dead Bone Pulse, so shall I use this elemental jutsu...roots to ensnare my opponent, and then slice/stab with my bones, or in Akiza's case, trap them in a nightmarish genjutsu.
Is that acceptable for you? ^_^
