Kikunojō

Kikujō was a skilled ninja from the Land of Vegetables.

Background
He grew up and trained alongside his friend Yurinojō who shared a friendly rivalry. When still kids, he and Yurinojō developed a huge crush on Tsunade and fought for her affection (at least according to Tsunade). Since a young age, Kikujō showed tremendous talent for ninja arts and earned great fame throughout the Land of Vegetables. He was later chosen as a personal guard to the daimyo.

Abilities
Since a young age, Kikujō was regarded as a genius ninja in his country. He quickly gained mastery of his clan's secret flower-oriented techniques. His skill was presumably high as he was selected to be a personal guard to the daimyo. With his skill he could constantly keep his opponents off guard though a variety of attack patterns.

Land of Vegetables Arc
Years later when the infamous Criminal Brothers attacked the Land of Greens, the daimyo sent Kikujō and Yurinojō to protect his own daughter, Haruna. Fearing that their combined skills would not be enough, Kikujō hired Konoha for assistance. Unfortunately due to little money, they could only be offered assistance at a C-rank level mission under the guise of escorting merchants. To further this deceptions, Kikujō, Haruna, and Yurinojō disguised themselves as merchants as well. When it soon became clear that the Criminal Brothers saw through their deceptions, Kikujō went off to face them head-on.

Kikujō then found himself in a flower field against the youngest of the Criminal Brothers, Ruiga. Kikujō initially had the underhand and for while seemed the inevitable winner with his clan's secret jutsu. Unfortunately, Ruiga then unveiled his own secret technique and killed him. At the end of the arc, Kikujō was given a proper burial and Haruna apologized for not appreciating his selfless service.
