Clan History: The first hokage possessed the unique ability to mold his chakra into living plants and grow them through the transmission of chakra. The Senju clan were known for their immense chakra control and skill with elemental chakra. During the first shinobi war, another clan, the Koujou clan, often aligned with them. The koujou clan had similar abilities but slightly different. They had incredible chakra control and the ability to literally embody elemental chakra. They are known as the creators of such jutsu as fireball jutsu (being able to synthesize fire with the use of one's lungs), elemental transformation jutsus (such as Suigetsu's ability to turn into water), among many others. They assisted the Senju clan by teaching them how to mold chakra into elements on its own and not rely on elements around them (a good example of this is Yamato's ability to create wood from his arm, as opposed to needing to create it from the dirt). Their role in the first shinobi war was one of support. They did not possess enough strength to battle other head clans themselves, but by teaming up with the Senju clan, they survived. The Koujou have always been a clan of peace, love, and life. They did not fight during the shinobi war (for the most part), but instead assisted the Senju from the sidelines. When the Senju had their final fight with the Uchiha, however, the Koujou refused to help the Senju clan in battle. This was due solely to the legend of the Sharingan. The Koujou elders at the time heard awful stories about the Sharingan: ones of mind control and even the ability to rewrite reality to one's whim. They were not afraid to die, but rather afraid of their jutsu falling into the wrong hands. The Senju clan understood this fear, as their abilities could be applied to many different shinobi’s talents to amplify them. Given their history, the Senju were not offended by the Koujou’s refusal to fight. When the battle had finished and the two sides (Senju and Uchiha) agreed to a draw, there were many terms made to establish this long-sought peace. One of which was an act of trust on both ends. Both clans were to share a set of their jutsu with one another. Clearly, high level jutsu such as the Sharingan and Wood Release would not be exchanged. Still, Hashirama Senju did not trust the Uchiha fully due to Madara’s betrayal. Because of this, he decided to trick them. He would still give them jutsu, but not that of his own clan. In talks with Koujou elders, Hashirama convinced the Koujou clan to give up some of their advanced chakra control and elemental embodiment techniques to the Uchiha (including the fireball technique). This went against everything Koujou stood for. They feared the Uchiha would integrate these powers with the Sharingan and, in time, eradicate both the Koujou clan and the Senju. Hashirama saw the danger in this as well, however insisted that continuing war would be just as devastating. To ensure they would willingly accept the deal, Hashirama made an offer the Koujou couldn’t refuse. Since he trusted them greatly already, Hashirama agreed to share with Koujou the Wood Release kekkei genkai. The Koujou clan had wanted this since the day they found out about it, and is one of the reasons they sought out the Senju in the first place. They also thought that it would uphold the balance of power (seeing as the Uchiha would now have the same support the Senju originally had during the war [the teachings of the Koujou] and the Koujou would now have an even greater power [the mixed bloodline of the Koujou and Senju]). They all agreed to the conditions (Uchiha, at the time, unaware of the deal Koujou and Senju made) and soon Konohagakure came to be.
Kekkei Genkai Description: The unique combination of Wood Release and Koujou's natural affinity towards elemental embodiment produced a Kekkei Genkai that allowed the user to create life from their own body. Essentially, the user has the ability to transmit chakra to cells within their body and rapidly transform them. What were once human cells are changed into plant cells, which can then grow into seeds and then into plants. See jutsu below for description.
Drawbacks: This takes a toll on the user's body. There is no immediate effects (unless one runs out of chakra, in which case they will pass out instantly due to lack of cells), however there are extremely noticable long-term effects. All members of the Koujou clan who possess this kekkei genkai are extremely thin and frail. Their bones are thin and their muscles too. This is due to the kekkei genkai drawing from the very resources needed to compose the human body. This means all members MUST take the special characteristic

- Agile (and consequently, Frail)

- Name: Ninja Art: Seed of Life (individuals have their own adoption)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: E-S (See below)
Type: Varies
Element: Earth+Water
Range: Varies (See below)
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: The plants created are fully living plants. They will live so long as nothing prevents them (they can be killed by normal means, but if they are not they will not die on their own except by natural causes)
Cooldown: Based on rank. E=0, D=1, C=2, B=3, A=4, S=5 posts
Description:
The seed: The user can form a seed(s) within their body and extrete them through pores in their skin. Naturaly they are very small, however they are still "attached" to the user through the pore by somewhat of an ambilical cord. This allows the user to then transfer chakra into the seed and grow it. Once it is large enough, the ambilical cord is no longer needed as the seed has the necessities for life, and now it just needs energy (chakra). The user can grow the seed from that point on by transmitting chakra to it. They can do it from their hand, back, from a distance if they laid them anywhere, etc. Difficult methods (producing them wherever thick muscle exists such as the back, activating them from long distances, etc) require higher rank/expertise. Generally a user created a large amount of seeds at a time and uses anywhere from one to all of them, as needed. This is because seeds can be made with little to no effort, while creating the actual plant consumes chakra.
The plant: The plant from this jutsu is any plant the user can create. This is based on the ninja's skill level and experience. A newly created character of the Koujou clan will list their known plants when creating their jutsu page. They can research new plants that are within their skill level (this would be the same process as training for a new jutsu). As stated, different plants have different skill level. That is why this jutsu is ranked E-S. For example, a genin could create a branch coated with thorns to use as a weapon, but a chunin could create a branch with poisonous thorns on it. A gennin could create a standard tree, a jonin could create a micro forest. The more advanced the plant, the more advanced the jutsu (ranging from E to S). Certain plants have certain properties that affect its difficulty to create. For example, a tree is very large so it takes a descent amount of chakra. One full size oak tree is probably C rank. However a single thorn, which is nowhere close to the size of a tree, could easily be B rank if it has a poison that paralyzes the victim.
Name: Ninja Art: Synthesis
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: Earth+Water
Range: Self
Specialty: Medical (May use Ninjutsu skill level however, due to being based on the ninjutsu-based kekkei genkai and since the jutsu does not require medical expertise)
Duration: None
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: The user can partially morph cells in their body to gain essential plant features needed for photosynthesis. The user then channels chakra into these cells to have them absorb sunlight at an incredible rate, healing themselves rapidly. This is the equivalant of a B-rank healing jutsu however applies to the user's entire body.
