I dunno what i'm doing here, but I might as well try to make something.

Name: Counter Cactus (What-Am-I-Doing-With-My-Life Prickly Plant)

Nen Type: Conjuration

Description: The user produces a seemingly live plant, with thorns and everything. This plant is capable of photosynthesis, and all of it's various stages of photosynthesis. Inside the plant, two special liquid substances are produced passively- A lethal poison and a nutritious antidote. The plant can resemble any plant of the 'Cactaceae' family, and have it's size increased and decreased accordingly- the maximum size being that of a one-story tree, and thickness of it's trunk. The plant is, oddly, hollow. It can hold objects- and even an average adult human- inside. The cactus can be as weak as a piece of paper, or when reinforced with nen and proper nutrients, as hard as solid concrete, if not harder based on the user's ability and own durability. A maximum of three cacti can be created at a time.

The poison and antidotes are produced within the inner skin of the plant. The poison is produced when the plant is given enough water, sunlight, and soil, and resides in the thorns of the cactus. The antidote is produced shortly after the poison, and contains essential vitamins and nutrients, while maintaining a significant amount of water. A single thorn from the plant can kill a small animal or other plant. A few thorns are enough to kill medium sized animals and humans. When around 20 or more thorns, the poison can kill a live elephant within an hour or less. The poison can have certain effects based on conditions placed on it, but those conditions are based off the abilites and nen type of the user, and are more of sub-Hatsu.

The thorns can be shot out of the plant all at once, and only all at once, in all directions. The plant will be naked without those thorns, and cannot produce thorns again until approximately 10-15 minutes pass, depending on how healthy the plant it.

Limitations:

1. The cactus must be planted to be enabled, and it takes a certain amount of time to take full growth. With a small amount of nen inside, the plant can take an hour to grow to maximum. With a large amount of aura converted, it can take a mere 120 seconds.

2. The cactus can only be grown in dirt, soil, sand, or anything that is moldable and capable of supporting life.

3. The cactus will die within 5 hours if taken out of the grown and not re-placed.

4. Each cactus can only produce one type poison and one type antidote, meaning if Cactus A poisons Ally 1, then Cactus B, holding Ally 2 inside, cannot administer the antidote needed for Ally 1. Each cactus created will have unique poison, meaning an antidote from older cacti will not be effective. The antidote created within can support a person's needed intake for water, but not enough for food. A normal person cannot live off the antidote's nutrients, and will inevitably die over time. To make a new antidote and poison, one must create a new cactus.

5. The thorns, when shot out, cannot be re-grown for a time. It takes 10 minutes to regenerate the thorns if the cactus is healthy and well-feed. If the cactus is injured or un-feed, it may take up to 15 minutes. If the cactus is off the dirt, and has had no recent sunlight and water, it cannot grow the thorns until placed back into soil.

6. While the cactus is transportable, note that it will not produce antidotes or poison until placed back into the dirt.

7. The cactus can live up to 7 days without the user's interference. Any time longer and the cactus will naturally disappear and die. Another person's nen cannot keep the cactus alive, only the creator's nen.

8. The poison administered from the plant can be negated under normal means. One does not have to enter the cactus and steal the antidote. To remove the poison, one must do as follows:

The victim who is poisoned cannot cure the poison if they or an ally cannot manipulate nen. If the victim can manipulate nen, depending on how many needles administered poison, they may be able to rid it from their system.

If more than 15 needles have injected poison, it cannot be cured. If 14 to 10 needles have injected poison, the victim has 10 seconds to cure the poison. If 9 to 5 needles have injected poison, the victim has 10 minutes to cure the poison. If 4 to 1 needles have injected poison, the victim has 30 minutes to one hour to cure the poison, depending on their body size, blood amount, and strength.

To cure the poison, one must enter the state of Zetsu. This enables them to leech onto any aura they have left and maintain it inside them. The conditions under the poison will force the poison to exit the body once Zetsu has been maintained for a certain degree of time. The time is as follows:

14 to 10 needles require 15 to 30 minutes, 9 to 5 needles require 10 to 5 minutes, and 4 to 1 needles require about 30 seconds.

Once Zetsu has been maintained for long enough, the poison will deem itself ineffective and stop in it's tracks.

9. The cactus can mold it's durability solely based off the user's ability. If the user is inexperienced in nen, and has little to no vows, the cactus will be about the strength of a normal cactus it's size. If the user is a master of the Hatsu, and is a perfected nen user, the cactus can be as strong as concrete, or even titanium.

9.5 The user must always exert a certain amount of nen when creating and growing the plant, but once the plant is fully grown, they no longer must exert nen, unless thorns are being shot, re-grown, or an over-execessive amount of antidote is being produced (possibly to feed the user water.)

10. The cactus created must always have features similar to a member of the 'Cactaceae' family.
