Kyoukan, Kureha

"The Giant Mother of Kumogakure", "Kumo's Towering Beauty"

["It is alright, my children. I will not let you down. Not again"]

General Information Age: 30
Gender: Female
Height: 214 Centimeters (7 feet)
Weight: 110 Kg (242 lbs)
Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Kureha has a breath-taking and stunning looking angular face with hazel eyes that can turn from warm and inviting to seductive and alluring with a simple expression. She has long, straight, nearly down to her lower back, matte pink hair that she lets flow free on most occassions. Every so often, she will change the way her hair is worn but for the most part, it is either loose or with a simple pony-tail. Her hair often covers over her ears and drapes down on either side of her face, framing it quite well. Kureha has a rare gift, have a neutral smile on her face which one could use to gleam into her rather kind and personable nature.
  • Body: Kureha has a slightly thick, voluptous figure that is highly difficult to miss thanks to her clan's genetics when it comes to height. Her body is what one could classify as an hourglass but she has a bit more size around the middle of her hips, complimenting her slight bit of more weight. Her awe-inspiring stature gives a lot of surface area for her muscles to be shown off, even if they are not as impressive as some within Kirigakure. Her figure is one that could cause jealousy in those that are somehow feeling lacking in what they have. Overall, to say that she is desirable would be an understatment, she is likely the envy of quite a few different people.
  • Notable Features: Like all of her clan, Kureha has the typical pale skin that comes with being a Kyoukan.
Clothing/Accessories: Kureha's altruistic nature does not stop her from wanting to look good herself, having gotten an outfit for herself that would show off her gorgeous figure while still being tasteful and appropriate. Her outfit starts with a white button up shirt with navy blue cuffs that have a sapphire coloured cuff links. She immediately hides a majority of the white shirt with a piece of black cloth with an intricate pattern covering only parts of it. Including this extra top of hers, she also has a jacket that has the same pattern as her black top and an array of striking blue feathers that adorn the collar. She wears a pair of pants with, yet again, a similar pattern to all the other pieces of black clothing that she ears with her ensamble that ends with a pair of fitting footwear.

Personality:
  • General: Kureha's personality has changed over time. She used to be quite the excitable little girl that was so full of life, but she has turned into a wondrous woman worthy of note. Her personality has such a wide range now, ranging from adorable to alluring and she lets herself range freely between them. Her voice lets her warmhearted, altruistic nature shine through at almost all times, but she never truly chooses to hide it.

    Kureha works perfectly with others, no matter who it may be. She is extremely social with anyone she is speaking to currently, no matter what the circumstance may be. However, during certain moments, she is known to change how she portrays herself. From being this motherly figure to something that wishes to be desired, turning on her charm. This charm was something that she had picked up over the years and she has been perfecting it for such a long time that she has gotten to the point where it is almost seamless to change to it.

    Like all of her clan, she tends to end her sentences with a verbal tic. Her verbal tic manifests as a simple "tch" noise that comes from, making her sound condescending if people do not recognize her heritage and don't realize it is entirely involuntary.
  • Hopes/Dreams: Kureha has had a few aspirations in her time. One that has stuck with her is her desire to bring back the Skyguards so that they may better protect Kumogakure. While most might desire Raikage, she never saw the position as something to be desired.
  • Fears: She fears the day that she loses another comrade because of what she had experienced in her past and she has a fear that she will let down the citizens of Kumogakure if she were ever called upon to protect them.
  • Combat Mentality: Kureha is a support specialist at heart, specializing in her clan's techniques that allow her to link to her comrades and take all the damage that they would have taken normally and use her Iijutsu prowess to heal herself so that her allies can better fight. She has thought about going to pick up some more offensive methods of combat but for the time being, she is better off with another person in combat with her.

Mercurial ChargeShow
A spear ornate in design, covered in archaic golden scrolling, standing at roughly 260 cms (8 feet) in length and perfectly balanced for throwing, the Mercurial Charge is as old as it is beautiful. Forged in a time where spirits ran rampart reaching colossal in size, this spear was designed to take the beasts down and tame them from a relatively safe distance. When chakra is channelled into the spear, the golden scrolling glows and a chain of ethereal golden energy attaches to the throwing hand of the wielder. When thrown, the chakra chain extends indefinitely, remaining as a constant link between weapon and wielder. This chain cannot be interacted with by anyone except the user, other beings simply passing right through it. Upon channelling chakra into the chain once the spear has found purchase, the user can either reel in the pierced target with a strength of 20 or pull themselves towards the spear with a speed of 20.

Abilities
First AbilityTethered Fate
Having not realized their Kekkai Genkai potential until 7 generations ago, the Kyoukan clan carries a unique tenketsu mutation that allows them to link their tenketsu to that of those around them. This linked state effectively allows a Kyoukan member to "bond" with the physical body of their ally and passively transfer damage meant for their allies to themselves, acting as human shields. The range of this ability is directly proportionate to the users control stat in meters. The moment this range is surpassed the bond is instantly broken. The maximum amount of people the Kyoukan clan member can link to at a time is based on their stamina stat: [list][*]1-10: 1 link[*]11-20: 2 links[*]21-25: 3 links[*]26-35: 4 links[*]36-45: 5 links [*]46-50: 6 links[/list]

Iijutsu
This concentration allows for the user to user chakra to affect the biological processes of a living creature. This includes modifying, speeding up, or slowing down the biological processes. Iijutsu is known for it's advanced nature and requires precise chakra control to work effectively. It can be differentiate from normal techniques by the faint light green colour of the chakra used in Iijutsu techniques.

Jutsu
NinpouShow
D-Rank*[Ninjutsu • Chakra Burst]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After channeling chakra into one of their fists, the user will then attempt to strike their target and if successful, they will release additional concussive force in the form of an outward explosion at D-Rank force from their fist. If the user does not strike a target within 3 posts the jutsu dissipates.

*[Ninjutsu • Wall]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user causes a thin 3x3 meter flat barrier to form directly in front of them at a speed of 5. This barrier can take a hit of up to 5 strength before shattering, otherwise it lasts for 3 posts.

C-Rank*[Ninjutsu • Multiple Chakra Kai]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Despite requiring both hands and more time than *[Basic Jutsu • Chakra Kai], Multiple Chakra Kai allows the user to activate up to five objects simultaneously, up to 20 + (Control/2) meters away.

*Ninjutsu • Spiritualism Technique]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The base technique for summoning, the Spiritualism Technique allows users to bring forth their summons to fight on their behalf. Once an agreement has been made between the user and their summon, they will be able to use this technique to call upon it at any time unless stated otherwise. The chakra used for this technique varies, as it is dependent on the size and rank of what is being summoned. Once it has been summoned, the user will experience a constant drain on their chakra for as long as the summon is in place. This drain is also dependent on the size and rank of the summon.

B-Rank*[Ninjutsu • Shadow Clone Technique]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the users stamina). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for stamina, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect.
Clan JutsuShow
D-Rank~Tethered Fate: Physical Condition
D-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will check the vitals of all those they are connected to at that precise moment. This will give them the relative (for example: Perfect, Healthy, Ailed, Unstable, or Critical) core vitals of connected targets: temperature, oxygen rate, blood amount, and heart rate.

~Tethered Fate: Mental Monitor
D-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will check the mental state of all those they are connected to at that precise moment. This will give them information on if the connected target is currently undergoing any form of mental trauma (for example: high levels of fear/anxiety, or extreme stress) and how relatively strong that mental trauma is. Does not include if the target is being influenced by genjutsu.

~Tethered Fate: Snapshot
D-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member closes their eyes and checks the current view of all those they are connected to at that precise moment. This will give them just a quick, single snapshot of what their linked targets see at the point of activating the jutsu. For the Kyoukan clan member this plays the image in their head, each for a second or two. Opening their eyes before each snapshot plays cancels the feedback.

C-Rank~Tethered Fate: Touch Link
C-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will place one hand on their heart and one hand on that of an allies before gracefully pulling both hands away, a whispy trail of chakra seemingly connecting from them to the Those linked to a Kyoukan will find themselves covered in a strange veil of pink smoke-like chakra that is perfectly see-through. This layer is known as the "spirit shell" and is what makes it so no damage can be done to them. Weapons, or any thing that would damage them seemingly "phases" through them. Wherever they were damaged however, the damage will appear in relativity on the Kyoukan clan member's body. This means that stabbing a linked person in the chest will do nothing to them, but their Kyoukan clan member will suddenly gain a stab wound in their chest as if they were stabbed by the blade itself. This link remains as long as the clan member has stamina or until cancelled.

~Tethered Fate: Communication
C-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will activate the ability to pass communication along their link in the form of audio. This allows them to talk to and listen to their linked companions for up to 5 posts.

~Tethered Fate: Visual Link
C-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will close one of their eyes then hone in on one of their links specifically, connecting their sense of vision to their link. This allows the Kyoukan clan member to see through that persons eyes for up to 5 posts. Opening their eye at anytime during the duration of the technique will cancel the technique.

B-Rank~Tethered Fate: Range Link
B-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will place one hand on their heart and one hand pointed towards an ally, up to 25 meters away. They will then fire a whispy trail of chakra at a speed of 20 from their hand at that ally, establishing a link from themselves and the ally. Those linked to a Kyoukan will find themselves covered in a strange veil of pink smoke-like chakra that is perfectly see-through. This layer is known as the "spirit shell" and is what makes it so no damage can be done to them. Weapons, or any thing that would damage them seemingly "phases" through them. Wherever they were damaged however, the damage will appear in relativity on the Kyoukan clan member's body. This means that stabbing a linked person in the chest will do nothing to them, but their Kyoukan clan member will suddenly gain a stab wound in their chest as if they were stabbed by the blade itself. This link remains as long as the clan member has stamina or until cancelled.

~Tethered Fate: Protect
B-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will channel into one of their links specifically. This will cause a pink barrier of hard chakra just a few inches larger than the target to form around them at a speed of 20. The barrier has a strength of 20 and lasts up to 3 posts, or until destruction or being cancelled by the Kyoukan clan member.

~Tethered Fate: Surveyance
B-Rank Ninpou
Prerequisite: 20 Instinct
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will close both of their eyes, then connect themselves to the vision of all current links they possess. A mentally taxing technique, the clan member must possess a sharp mind capable of weaving together the five sets of vision. Kyoukan clan members may keep this technique running for up to 5 posts. Opening their eyes at anytime during the duration of the technique will cancel the technique.

A-Rank~Tethered Fate: Party Link
A-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will place all five fingers delicately on their heart and with the other hand, fingers spread out towards up to 5 different allies up to 35 meters away. They will then fire up to 5 whispy trails of chakra from their hand at their allies at a speed of 20, establishing a link between them self and their allies. Those linked to a Kyoukan will find themselves covered in a strange veil of pink smoke-like chakra that is perfectly see-through. This layer is known as the "spirit shell" and is what makes it so no damage can be done to them. Weapons, or any thing that would damage them seemingly "phases" through them. Wherever they were damaged however, the damage will appear in relativity on the Kyoukan clan member's body. This means that stabbing a linked person in the chest will do nothing to them, but their Kyoukan clan member will suddenly gain a stab wound in their chest as if they were stabbed by the blade itself. This link remains as long as the clan member has stamina or until cancelled.

~Tethered Fate: Mass Protect
A-Rank Ninpou
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will channel into all of their active links. This will cause a pink barrier of hard chakra just a few inches larger than each linked target to form around them at a speed of 20. The barrier has a strength of 20 and lasts up to 3 posts, or until destruction or being cancelled by the Kyoukan clan member.

~Tethered Fate: Changed Perspective
A-Rank Ninpou
Prerequisite: 35 Instinct
After a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will close both of their eyes, then connect themselves to the vision of all current links they possess. Unlike before, this technique goes far further than just linking the visions of potentially 5 people to that of the Kyoukan clan. This technique utilizes the clan member's mind to weave together the visions, then to process the clan member's other senses and to synthesize the gaps between themselves and the location of the 5 linked visions. Essentially, this grants the user an insane range of vision around them and from multiple perspectives. However, being such a mentally taxing technique, it can only be held at best for 5 posts. If the clan member holds it to it's maximum, for the next post they will be blinded as their visual cortex strained itself so hard they will be lef confused and unable to process images. Opening their eyes at anytime during the duration of the technique will cancel the technique.

S-Rank~Kinjutsu Tethered Fate: Shared Experience
S-Rank Ninpou
A technique forbidden by the elders to prevent young Kyoukan clan members from recklessly killing or endangering themselves, this allows the Kyoukan clan member to link themselves to those who do not willingly accept their link- in other words it allows them to forcefully bind their state to that of an opponents. Like usual, after a set of hand seals, the Kyoukan clan member will place their hand delicately on their heart and with the other hand outstretched towards an opponent, they will then fire a whispy trails of chakra from their hand at a speed of 35 up to 50 meters away. Unlike before this whisp is not pink, but is red. Upon establishing a link between them self and their opponent, both the Kyoukan clan member and the linked will find themselves covered in a strange veil of red smoke-like chakra that is perfectly see-through. This layer is known as the "corrupted spirit shell" and has the a partially reverse function of the normal spirit shell. Weapons, or any thing that would damage the shell seemingly "phases" through them. Wherever they were damaged however, the damage will appear in relativity on both the Kyoukan clan member and the linked opponents bodies. This means that stabbing the Kyoukan clan member or the linked opponent will cause the other one to gain that exact wound as if they were suddenly stabbed by the blade itself. This link remains as long as the clan member has stamina or until cancelled.
IijutsuShow
D-RankSupport
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. A film of Iijutsu chakra will spread out around their body and begin to compress in a non-harmful manner. This layer of chakra provides a small 5 [Strength] barrier that can brace against impacts and acts as a staunching cast that can stop bleeding and potentially help set a bone if need be. This film of chakra lasts for six posts after it is cast.

Renew
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. The target will be surrounded by layer of Iijutsu that will heal superficial cuts and bruises less than half-an-inch in size.

Invigorate
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Oxygen will pulsate around the target, penetrating the targets body and entering into their blood stream, continuing to do so for the next five posts. During these five posts the target will find themselves able to run without running out of breath or becoming winded, and essentially allows them to operate to the fullest of their capabilities. Use of this technique must be carefully metered however, as over-oxygenating a target too much can potentially have harmful effects.

Cleanse
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Her chakra will enter their body and begin to flush their system of foreign chakra. After a full post, much like the standard kai it will flush their system of foreign chakra.

Antiseptic
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Iijutsu chakra will grow onto the target momentarily causing them to produce more antibodies, acting as an antiseptic and eating away harmful bacteria and foreign bodies from the surface of the target.

C-RankMinor Suppression
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Iijutsu chakra will enter their body and over the course of the next five posts cause the target's body to increase it's production of white blood cells. With each post the white blood cells, along with the old, will begin to fight off any poisons that are C-Rank and below, and eventually sustain itself in holding the poison at bay.

Diagnostics
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Using this chakra as an internal extension of his/her hand to feel for abnormalities and other issues, the user is often able to determine the problem after some time and concentration. In order for a thorough examination to provide sufficient answers, the user will focus for up to one (1) post, seeking signs of internal and external damage, organ malfunction and disease among other ailments. Although skilled medical-nin have the possibility to work faster, skill cannot be substituted in for thoroughness.

Swiftmend
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. The target will be surrounded momentarily by an aura of Iijutsu as minor cuts and bruises less than two-inches in size are healed.

Relief
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Iijutsu chakra will grow onto the target momentarily soothing and regenerating burnt skin seals. After initially being established, it is self-sustaining. To provide this soothing relief to medium-sized areas of first degree and second degree burns, it's fairly quick to do. For small-sized areas of third degree burns, it takes one post of concentration to achieve the same effects. This technique is ineffective when applied to larger areas or burns worse than third degree.

B-RankRegrowth
B-Rank Nnjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. The target will be surrounded momentarily by an aura of Iijutsu chakra as cuts and bruises less than six-inches in size are healed.

Rejuvenation
B-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. The target will be surrounded momentarily by a cloak of Iijutsu chakra as it begins to stimulate the calcium production and protein absorption rate of the body to mend the broken bone and torn muscles. To fix a small-to-medium break or tear this takes one post, while fractures generally can be fixed in a minor amount of time. Multiple breaks can be mended during this technique as it lasts for a total of five posts or until cancelled.

Parylz Heal
B-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. The target will be surrounded momentarily by an aura of Iijutsu chakra as it attempts to repair tissue, nerve, and bone damage that prevents movement. Areas as large as an entire limb will take one (1) post of concentration to release, while releasing half the body from paralysis will take two (2) posts, and finally, to undo the entire body from paralysis, it takes three (3) posts of concentration. This technique is only effective on paralysis caused by jutsu or certain poisons.

A-RankLifebloom
A-Rank Ninjutsu
Kureha will begin by channeling chakra placing her hands on someone. Exponentially stronger than the lower ranked regenerative techniques, this technique is capable of healing just about anything, small-to-moderate wounds taking little to no time, while large wounds take one post of concentration to mend, and mortal wounds take a total of two posts to fully mend. At maximum Kureha can hold this technique for four posts, but due to it's chakra-extensive nature a single-use is not the greatest of ideas.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Early LifeShow
Kureha was born on an incredible spring day. This day had such amazing weather that it was seemingly imprinted on her when she was freshly born, which would come to fruition when she was but a very young girl. During these early years, she had what would be considered a typical childhood and education within Kumogakure, albeit with quite a bit more studies geared towards the nature of spirits and towards her clan's roots. Unlike some children who might have found this weird, at the time, she was absolutely fascinated by it. Due to this early learning, she has remained fascinated by spirits even late into her Jounin years and it would be one of the driving forces towards her wanting to be a shinobi.
Academy YearsShow
When she had first enrolled into the Shinobi Academy, Kureha was not sure where she would best fit in. Her clan's gift was naturally leaning her towards one path but she didn't want to simply follow the path that seemed like it was destined to her. With that in mind, she did her best to try to focus on the other methods. However, she was very quick to learn that her Taijutsu and Gejutsu were lacking in comparison to her Ninjutsu. With that in mind, she still tried her best to rail against what it seemed fate was pushing her towards. When the chips were down though and it was growing closer and closer to graudation, she realized that she'd just have to do what came natural to her. With that in mind, she spent her entire focus on perfecting her ninjutsu and she ended up graduating with only a few minor issues when it came to her Taijutsu. For now though, she was a fully fledged Genin and pride would swell through her. She couldn't wait to start her adventure.
Genin/Chuunin YearsShow
During her first few years as a Genin, her shinobi career was what one would expect from it. Simple assignments, simple missions done, nothing that would bring about such a great thread to her. She'd continue to train her Ninjutsu which she had learned to apply to Iijutsu, having realized that even if she wasn't fond of it, it was what she was best at. She'd have several different partners come and go but one of them stuck around quite often with her. Another Genin from a different class. Kitigawa, Tatsuki. A boy that at first she wasn't fond of but she would later grow to become someone she could trust.

Her Chuunin exam was quite unlike what she had originally expected. A simple solo mission. One where she would go to a village and use her knowledge of Iijutsu to assist the villagers in the area with healing them after having had a major attack on their village. It wasn't something that was too difficult for her but it ended up being that she had to stay out there for several days, nearly a week. She would befriend many of the folk here, making them more receptive towards Shinobi and towards Kumogakure as a whole. When she would return, her promotion was assured and she was soon made a Chuunin and assigned to squad where she would once again run into Tatsuki, who would end up becoming one of her partners for a long time to come.

As a Chuunin, she found her niche as a support specialist, realizing that her clan's abilities were not something that she could just simply shy away from. It was a part of her and she learned to embrace it wholeheartedly. After all, during these years, her clan's genes began to show the most by a massive increase to her height, one that had her towering above most people within Kumogakure. The missions she was sent on grew increasingly more difficult and she began to see more and more combat scenarios where her skills were put to the test but she was able to overcome them each time it was presented to her. All of these were done with a great deal of help with Tatsuki. During this time, their friendship had grown even closer and would begin to spend more of their downtime together. It all felt natural to her and she was glad to have someone who complimented her so well, seeing that Tatsuki was a Taijutsu specialist who seemed to have no fears. With confidence brimming in her heart, she continued her journey towards a greater career within Kumogakure and within several more years, she'd be promoted to Special Jounin alongside Tatsuki, sticking right by his side through thick and thin.
TragedyShow
For the first year or so, Kureha did an exemplary job as a Special Jounin. However... this year or so would be something that she'd soon forget all thanks to a singular event. She felt she had been ready for it. It was a supposed to be a simple A-Rank mission... Just help escort some important person within Frost Country... but it ended up being a disaster. During a middle point within the path they were taking, Kureha and her squad were ambushed by what seemed like double their force. A battle ensued, one that may have been heralded through the ages had it not been such a catastrophic failure. Kureha had done her best to get her links onto as many people as possible, including the VIP from Frost Country, but it ended up being just not enough. Someone had noticed her rather fast and had made a kick at her... and it connected and sent her down hard. She was out for the rest of the battle and she knew she was dead... but when she woke up, the bodies of her comrades and her mission lied around her. This realization, the feeling of having done what she could and it still wasn't enough... Something broke in her mind that day. Going from person to person, Kureha would attempt any of her Iijutsu, going to the point of nearly exhausting her chakra supplies just for the vain hope that someone still be left alive. But no... She didn't get to see her entire squad be decimated, she didn't get to assist them... She had been taken out and had to be forced to see the aftermath. It was a message and she was to deliver it. Deliver it she would, whether she wanted to or not. The time it took for Kureha to get back to Kumogakure was weeks. She'd likely be presumed dead but when she showed up at the gates of Kumogakure, carrying with her the headbands of her fellow shinobi and she stepped through the gates, withered and broken. The light that would normally shine through and brighten even the saddest of smiles up had just vanished. She'd end up handing the headbands to one of the guards at the gate that would likely have been there... and just collapse. Weeks without proper provisions had left her beyond the ability to stand.
Aftermath and ReassessmentShow
For years after what she had witnessed, Kureha... didn't go on any more missions. In fact, she'd simply stay at the hospitals, assisting the medical ninja there... But it was clear that she was just as likely to be one of the people admitted to said hospital. Her spirit was broken, her resolve obliterated. It was all just a horrid experience, replayed within her head, over and over again. She'd heal the people here... trying to heal herself in the process. It was obvious to anyone who would be dealing with her for an extended period of time. That was until a familiar face popped into the hospital one day. Tatsuki... He had changed considerably since she had last seen him. He had been her best friend and she had ignored him completely. She had avoided him the entire time. It seems however, this time was going to be far different. He was patient today, having gotten seriously injured on a mission. For some reason though, without hesitation, Kureha would be the one to provide care for him. She'd be the one to heal him, keep him healthy, whatever it took. Seeing her best friend in such a sorry state had somehow lit the tiniest embers of a flame anew. Day and night, for weeks, she'd stand watch over him, care for him as need be... and talk to him. Really talk to him. She'd confess what had happened, her entire life story over again, practically... and as she spilled the beans, she'd realize that she needed this. Tatsuki was always a damn good listener after all. Over the next few weeks, they'd talk whenever he was not resting and slowly but surely, the youthful expression and flavour of Kureha would return over this time and she'd realize what a complete failure she had made of herself as of recent. When Tatsuki was completely healed, she'd thank him with a kiss to his cheek and a hug, before she'd go back to try to get back into her Shinobi life. After all, she had a long way to go... and she wasn't going to let Kumogakure down. Not if she could save them this time.

In the most recent of years, Kureha has been promoted to Jounin after showing exemplary efforts in all her fields of work, including during the entirety of the Civil War which was where she shined the most and was the most active in her entire career. No matter the task, she seemed to go beyond it and she had been growing quite popular amongst the citizens of Kumogakure. A nickname had begun to spread around the city. Her admirers, as she would call them, have given her the nickname "The Giant Mother of Kumgakure", for sweet and gentle nature on top of the way she seemed to treat just about everyone as if they were her family and she their mother. She gladly adopted it without a single worry. After all, she had been wanting the Citizens of this city to respect her and earn their trust and she had done just that. No matter what... she would protect her village, her country and the people within it. Even if it meant the death of herself... she'd save them all.
