Everything was fine until Shion Amarante,Kohana's grandmother found out about Iwa's secret.She decided to go back to Konoha with her daughter Misaki and establish Amarante clan,but since she knew that Misaki was the true patriot and she wouldn't just leave Iwa,thats why she decided to kidnap her grandaughter Kohana which was only few months old.Her plan succeeded,she was able to go back to Konoha and after she told hokage about her plans hokage accepted her and her granddaughter as villagers.Despite many attempts to retrieve her and kohana, Shion wasn't giving up and the Tsuchikage didn't want to declare war for one member and little girl, that's why he gave up on them easily without knowing about her plans.
Kohana gew up as normal child,they lived in a Konoha forest becouse Shion wanted her to be closer to nature,that why it would be easier for her to train using Flora release,Shion wanted to teach her everything she knew.Since Kohana was growing up she was more passionate to know more about her parents,Shion told he that they died when Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha.
Kohana was one of the most popular girls in Academy.Everybody knew her becouse of her long,thick,wavy,orange hair.However she wasn't very passionate about making new friends,she wasn't even talking to anyone until someone else started a conversation with her.She often mocked Ami, Fuki and Kasumi,becouse of that she became very close to Sakura and Ino.Her childhood was happy,no bullies,no deaths but she was missing her parents,she had no picture or memories about them.Kohana kept believing in everything her grandmother has told her.
Once when Kohana and Shion were training,they met Panji Nohara and her mother Ayana Amarante.After finding out that both were capable of using flora release,Shion told Ayana about her plans of establishing Amarante clan in Konoha and Ayana became very interested in Shion's plans.From that day on Kohana and Panji started training together and later became best friends.

Kekkei genkai[]
Flora Release is a rare and powerful advanced kekkei tota. The shinobi who can use this nature transformation are known as botanist shinobi or herbology shinobi. They are masters of altering terrain. Flora Release is strong against water, earth, wind, yang release, but weak against fire, lightning, and yin release. They can create and manipulate most, if not all forms of plantlife to use it to their advantage. Unlike wood release users, it can control grass, leaves, flowers, seeds, lichen, moss, fungi, and other things. Shinobi who use Flora Release can use a plant’s natural attributes and magnify its effects for greater potency. With Flora Release on their side, the Amarante clan members
can become helpful allies or deadly opponents in many environments. Mostly flora masters can’t use Wood Style since it’s kind of different. Flora Release is perfect for tracking, since users can feel everything that is on the ground by ‘being one with nature’.Kohana usually carries flower seeds with her.
