Kusamusu

Kusamusu (Kanji: くさむす, English: To Be Covered in Grass) is a Tokubetsu Jōnin-level ninja from Kusagakure. He specializes in reconnaissance and his proficiency in the discipline was enough for him to have been listed in a myriad of Bingo Books as a potential threat to security.

Background
During the Third Shinobi World War, the parents of a prepubescent Kusamusa unintentionally discovered the outpost of an Iwagakure kunoichi whom had been abandoned behind enemy lines by her comrades-in-arms. Without hesitation, the kunoichi ruthlessly murdered Kusamusa's parents in order to ensure that the location of her outpost would remain unknown to any Konohagakure shinobi that bothered to interrogate the locals.

In an attempt to sate her guilt, the kunoichi would take Kusamusu to Kusanoha's Orphanage. Throughout Kusamusu's life at the orphanage, the kunoichi would make random appearances. While a supermajority of those random appearances consisted of nothing more than a check-up, quite a few of them ended with the kunoichi tutoring Kusamusu in jutsu.

Eventually, during a tutoring session, Kusamusu would ask the kunoichi about the date of his birthday. When the kunoichi asked Kusamusu what made him think she would know such a thing, Kusamusu would very much surprise her with his answer: "Because I think you're my mom. And Kusanoha-san told me that my mom would be the one to know such a thing," Immediately afterwards, the kunoichi would excuse herself before taking her leave from the orphanage. And the kunoichi's sudden retreat from the orphanage would be Kusamusu's very last sight of the kunoichi.

At a much later date, a fourteen-year-old Kusamusu would submit an application for enlistment into Kusagakure. After having his background checked and being subjected to an examination, Kusamusu would finally be accepted as a Genin-level ninja of Kusagakure.

As an outsider to the village, Kusamusu was regarded with suspicion by just about everyone. It was only after YEARS of serving with distinction that Kusamusu managed to earn the acceptance of his fellows. Though to be fair, Kusamusu' hadn't exactly gone out of his way to earn their acceptance. Because he didn't care if they accepted him or not. The only thing Kusamusu cared about was bettering himself. So that one day he'd be good enough to garner the attention of the kunoichi whom he STILL thinks of as being a mother to him if not his actual mother.

Abilities
As a shinobi, Kusamusu is more of a tactician than a warrior. While he may not be afraid of getting his hands dirty, that does nothing to change the fact that he is lot better at formulation than he is at participation. There is always a chance that Kusamusu would fail to defeat an enemy, whereas there is little to no chance that one of Kusamusu's plans would fail to bring about the defeat of an enemy.

Kusamusu's strategy towards combat revolves around deception. He seeks to mislead the enemy at all times. During all of his engagements, he doesn't so much as confront the enemy as much as he lures the enemy into his latest trap. As a result, it's nigh-impossible to make him feel as if he is out of his element. For there is ALWAYS an opportunity for deceit.

Polliniation Technique
The Polliniation Technique (Romaji: Jusei no Jutsu, Kanji: じゅせいのじゅつ) is Kusamusu's trademark. After he has performed the necessary hand seals, Kusamusu will proceed to discharge his chakra from his body as an immense quantity of diminutive spheres.

Any patch of soil that comes into physical contact with so much as a single sphere will promptly commence to bloom with a type of chakra flower that has come to be referred to as the Kusamusubana. Immediately after it has bloomed, a Kusamusubana will gradually convert itself into a long-distance sound which is inaudible to just about everyone except Kusamusu. Upon hearing the sound, Kusamusu will utilize his mastery of human echolocation to mentally map the Kusamusubana's environment.

The Polliniation Technique allows Kusamusu to observe a location from an absurdly long distance. Even better, it lets Kusamusu does so in a convert manner. For the Kusamusubana, which are each composed of nothing but pure chakra, are invisible to those without the ability to see chakra. And the sound that the Kusamusubana convert themselves into are inaudible to just about everyone except Kusamusu himself. In order for an individual to realize that he or she is being observed, the individual would have to be one of the few that can either see the flower or hear the sound. It's also likely that most still wont be able to realize that they're being observed unless they're lucky enough to be able to both see the flower and hear the sound. And even then some people still wont realize...
