Profile Link: None. Character Name and Rank: None. Note: This is a pre-approved bloodline, revamped with additional information. The original is located HERE, where it is called Gardening. I primarily added physical drawbacks, and further defined its advanced nature. You don't need to add it.
· Secret Garden (ひえん, Hien): Members of the Kōba clan possess blood naturally saturated with chlorophyll which, being a pigment, causes some to have a green-tinted skin tone This also causes their blood to be green. In place of keratin, their hair and nails are almost pure cellulose, similar to cotton or wood fibers. The physical traits of Secret Garden are largely negative for members of the clan. They are physically unwell when dehydrated or not in sunlight. When in the shade or when it is night, they become weak and lethargic. They must drink water in excess, or they will quickly become fatigued. Only when in direct sunlight and well hydrated are members of the Kōba clan as healthy as a normal human. If dehydrated or deprived of sunlight, their condition can improve if the clan member submerges themselves in water. Physical traits aside, Secret Garden is a legendary bloodline limit. The first of Secret Garden's powers is the ability to project pheromones which in their base state can affect the emotional fortitude of animals, particularly insects. These pheromones can be altered by the user for a variety of effects. Secret Garden's second-most prominent ability grants the user the ability to commune with nature, specifically flora and fauna. When used to converse with animals, it is described as an unique form of sensory ability which telepathically links the user to an animal. Secret Garden's final and most blatantly well-known ability is that it grants the user an advanced nature formed through the simultaneous use of earth and water-based chakra natures. Along with this comes the impressive ability to control plant life with their chakra; including, but not limited to: creating new and often very unique forms of plant life, making it grow, causing it to move and using it to spy on others. Plants can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is literally converted into a source of life. Plant Release (しょくとん, Shokuton), which the bloodline is colloquially known as, is viewed by many as a sister bloodline to Wood Release, to which it shares many similarities.

· Fertile Feet (ひよくあし, Hiyoku Ashi): An ambient technique, passive in nature, belonging to Kōba Ogi. Ogi is is believed by others to be so powerful and so pure that her chakra bleeds out into the world as a source of healing and growth. This is because some of her chakra does leak out involuntarily, in the form of Fertile Feet. The technique was subconsciously developed by Ogi out of her love for plants.
With this passive technique, Ogi can bring grass and flowers into existence just by stepping on soil. As she walks, flowers of all kind sprout up with grass in her wake. Plant life also tends to lean or bend in her direction, presumably attracted to Ogi by her vast chakra and seemingly saintly nature.
The grass and flowers which grow in her wake are not sustained by chakra, nor do they rely on it to maintain their existence. The grass and flowers live for as long as they would normally live, had they progressed to their current state naturally.
· Green Thumb (みどりのゆび, Midori no Yubi): An ambient medical technique, passive in nature, belonging to Kōba Ogi. With a touch, Ogi can heal damage to plant material in any plant she comes in contact with. This can range from wilting and injury to grievous damage done to the plant by the ninja arts. Ogi utilizes this technique involuntarily, activating it simply by allowing a plant to come into physical contact with her skin.
Subconsciously, her gentle nature causes her chakra to pour out from her body and into any plants she comes in contact with in order to heal it. If the plant is withered or has any form of injury, it immediately springs back to life or begins to rapidly heal for however long she is touching it.
Green Thumb can theoretically last until Ogi runs out of chakra, but once a plant is fully healed, no more magic power is used up. Ogi can not heal any plant that has succumbed to its injuries. This means that she cannot return processed wood such as planks and boards to life, nor can she heal an injury that has existed long enough to kill the plant.
· Creeping Apparel (まんせいひふく, Mansei Hifuku): A supplementary technique belonging to Kōba Ogi. Using a small amount of her chakra, Ogi directs plant life she is in contact with to coat her body in plant material to dress herself. The plant material is as fragile as one would imagine, thus the technique is ill-suited for combat situations and entirely meant for aesthetics.
The plant material remains vibrant and full of life on her body. It can be repaired instantly if damaged, but Ogi must spend a small amount of chakra in order to repair her outfit. Ogi is capable of forming extravagant outfits, such as leafy gowns or a cotton fiber bodysuit. The clothing is usually green, though she can incorporate petals to give it color, or even make an entirely petal-formed outfit with one or multiple colors.
· Drought (ひでり, Hideri) [B-RANK]: A technique exclusive to the Kōba clan. Using their connection with the plant life around them, the clan member will direct all flora to absorb the moisture in the surrounding area, rapidly depleting any and all sources of water or other liquids in contact with the ground.

Dry Skin is denied because it really has nothing to do with their KG and the effects are ultrahax.
Also not sure if you say what I said in the chat, but humans don't have pheromones and the biological area responsible for responding to them is not present in us. Therefore, your original KG cannot influence people with pheromones. It would be like allowing one to have a technique that affects the gills in humans. Except, we no longer have gills since we evolved out of the water quite some time ago. It's only a small part of your KG though so you can work around it.
Everything else here is fine.

I edited the base bloodline's pheromone part to clarify animals with a sub-focus on insects, rather than other humans. I did originally intend on it affecting other humans, but since I can't, maybe I can use it to affect animals and such instead. I imagine there could be a "beast master" group of clan members, those who specialize in controlling animals and/or fighting clans who have animal companions or insects as weaponry.
I removed Dry Skin.

It's completely fine for it to affect animals. Most animals, unlike humans, actually do respond to pheromones.

I am re-registering Dry Skin as Water Release • Drawing Hot Blood.
· Water Release • Drawing Hot Blood (すいとん • さいねっけつ, Suiton • Sainekketsu) [C-RANK]: A technique developed by Kōba Ogi. Should Ogi be able to adhere her skin onto her opponent's, she can absorb their bodily fluids into herself, leaving her opponents as dried up husks. As more contact equals faster fluid drain, she is dressed in a revealing manner.
· Vine Obstruction Method (つるふさぐほう, Tsuru Fusaguhō): A unique form of combat used by Kōba Igami as well as her daughter Kōba Ogi. This style of combat is first initiated by growing thick vines from the ground around their feet, which mother or daughter then moves with her chakra. Igami, in particular, can use these vines to impede physical blows with the skill of a master in martial arts. The vines can be used to block or divert attacks away from them. They can also grasp their opponent to hinder or subdue them, or even whip them.
· Spore Dispersal Method (ほうしまくほう, Hōshi Makuhō): A unique form of combat used by Kōba clan members. In order to better be able to perform long-ranged or widespread assaults as well as covert stealth attacks, clan members are able to expel microscopic spores from their mouth so long as their bloodline limit is active.
These spores can be directed through the air by the clan member's chakra to the target or target location. Laced with plant material and chakra, the spores allow clan members to grow plant life from a distance. The spores can also be laced with toxins.
· Spore Dispersal Method • Sprout (ほうしまくほう • したもえ, Hōshi Makuhō • Shitamoe): A technique developed by Kōba Igami using the Spore Dispersal Method. With this technique, Igami sends out plant spores which cause damage in their host. It does not usually lead to fatality, but can be a hindrance and causes a great amount of pain in its host. The spores rapidly spread throughout the body, infecting every inch of the host.
When the host receives an injury which breaks their skin, small thorny vines protrude from the open wound. These vines spread the wound apart, tearing it open even more. The intent is to cause the host discomfort and pain, as well as to aggravate the wounds, keeping the host bleeding and in risk of infection.
The vines gain nutrients from the blood, soaking it up around the wound. This is how they are able to grow from the wound. Since they keep the wound constantly bleeding, the host can quickly succumb to anemia from a multitude of superficial wounds.
· Spore Dispersal Method • Seed All Creation (ほうしまくほう • まくばんしょう, Hōshi Makuhō • Makubanshō): A technique developed by Kōba Igami using the Spore Dispersal Method. Igami sends out plant spores which grant a slow death to their host. Upon being infected, the host's body is flooded with the spores.
The spores slowly grow into various strange plants, which take nutrients from the body in order to flourish. The plants erupt from the skin after three days, simultaneously killing the host with their birth and flamboyantly hiding the dried up husk of their body under a large mound of newly-formed plants.

If these spores have chakra in them then they are not undetectable at all. In fact, they'd be quite detectable since there is millions of them filled to the brim with chakra. As all shinobi have a small aptitude for sensing, all shinobi would be able to sense these spores.
The last technique will have to take time to kill its victim. As in a few days.
Everything else is fine.

I removed the part of the description for Spore Dispersal Method that mentions the spores being undetectable.
I also clarified that Seed All Creation kills after three days.

· Hiding in Flowers Technique (はながくれのじゅつ, Hanagakure no Jutsu): A bloodline limit ability which allows members of the Kōba clan to merge with and travel through nearby plant life. As with similar techniques, it works by using organic matter present in the ground, which consists of plant roots and water veins.
Clan members can also use the supplementary bloodline limit abilities Flower Viewing and Weed Speak while hidden, allow them to spy on or communicate with their target.
· Flower Viewing (はなみ, Hanami): A bloodline limit ability which allows members of the Kōba clan to connect their optic nerve to an artificial eye in a flower, which enables them to know what happens in the artificial eye's field of vision.
· Weed Speak (ざっそうことば, Zassōkotoba): A bloodline limit ability which allows members of the Kōba clan to transmit their voice through plants, causing the plant to rub its leaves together to produce a sound mimicking the human voice.
· Common Self-Heal (うつぼぐさ, Utsubogusa): An advanced medical technique and bloodline limit ability unique to Kōba clan members. The Kōba are able to receive and transmit supplements from the plant life around them. This comes in the form of plant material for gradually replenishing lost tissue, to even natural medicine to stop bleeding and heal wounds at a moderately faster rate.

Common Self-Heal: Denied. This is getting far too close to Hashirama's healing ability for no good reason at all. If you want a Koba with this ability, make one that is proficient in medical jutsu.
Everything else, including the two that you fixed earlier, are approved. But as a note with the Hiding in Flowers technique- it is not going to be anywhere near as fast as Mayfly.

I edited Common Self-Heal. I did not mean for it to be a Wolverine-esque rate of extensive healing. I clarified that the tissue replenished is done so gradually, and that the rate of healing is just moderate. It is primarily an after-battle medical technique, not usually intended for the heat of combat. Fot instance, a clan member could not take some damage, touch some plants, and then attack in their next post. An injured clan member would have to distance themselves from their opponent in one post, take a post or two (potentially a few posts depending on the injury) using the technique to heal up enough to be combat-capable again, and then counter-attack. It isn't something capable of being used to get back to 100% during the course of any combat thread.
I should probably also point out that the clan as a whole has a general focus on support, be it medical or sensory or other support roles. They deal a lot with poison as well. Combat is not usually a focus for them, and when it is, it is usually indirect combat (such as with poison).
