Akimichi Clan

Akimichi Clan Biography

Clan biography; Members of the clan possess great physical strength and are able to quickly convert calories into chakra, which they then use in their various secret techniques. Most of these techniques rapidly consume the user's chakra during use, and maintaining them during a prolonged battle can be tiring. For this reason the Akimichi have high chakra levels and eat a lot in order to build up or replenish their chakra reserves. As a tribute, members of the clan wear the kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on the their clothing. If standard calories aren't enough for a battle, Akimichi can use the clan's Three Coloured Pills to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health.

Many Akimichi use a bō as their weapon of choice. These have the ability to lengthen in proportion to their wielder's size. These weapons also have small appendages at the top of them. These clan members have all also been depicted with markings of sorts on their cheeks and most of them have been seen wearing plate armour, both with and without flak jackets.

The Akimichi clan has a special relationship with the Nara and Yamanaka clan. For generations, members of these three families have formed "Ino–Shika–Chō" trios, named after the first part of the names of the members with the Akimichi members being the "Chō" in the trio. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the Sarutobi clan will give them special earrings to present to each generation head when they are promoted to chūnin after which they will swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolise that they are considered adults by their respective clans.

Skills/Kekkei Genkai

Name: Karorī Kontorōru
Type: Body Mutation
Stages: 1
Effects: This technique grants the user the ability to freely convert the calories they store in their bodies into chakra to be used in their unique fighting style which ranges from expanding parts of, or, their entire body. Akimichi who are less experienced with this technique make use of the Three Coloured Pills to initiate this process, however, these pills have the adverse effect of converting all the calories in the user's body to chakra. Once perfected, however, the Akimichi no longer has need for the pills and can regulate how much of their body weight is converted at any given time.

Jutsus it Unlocks

Name: Baika no Jutsu (Expansion Technique)
Rank: C | B
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 6 | 12 (4 to revert)
Description: The user can freely alter their size at will when using this technique, and can use it for an extensive period of time. A common application of the techniques gives the user a very round appearance by mostly increasing the size of the abdominal section, which is done in order to use the Human Bullet Tank technique. Other, more common applications increase the size of the entire body, turning the user into a giant. (C will allow for up to doubling in size, B for tripling). While using this technique the user gains enhanced strength equal to the rank below theirs (Minimum C, Maximum A).

Name: Nikudan Sensha (Human Boulder)
Rank: C
Range: Melee
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 6 - 2/post
Description: A threatening taijutsu trick that converts the user's large frame into a destructive weapon. The user first uses Multi-Size Technique to make themselves into a human-sized ball, then they tuck in their limbs and use chakra to propel themselves into a powerful roll. Its effective use of weight and the force of rotation make for an even greater lethality than appearances would let on, enough to pulverise someone's hand with but a mere touch. It is difficult for the user to turn in this form. This technique has the added effect of plugging up the user's ears, making them immune to auditory triggered genjutsu.

Name: Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Expansion Technique)
Rank: B
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 12 (4 to revert to normal)
Description: This is a practical application of the Multi-Size Technique, which lets one expand their own body. The point of swelling a single part of the body is to use the weight to increase the power of one's physical attacks. Any body part may be augmented this way, but for ease of use the arms and legs tend to be chosen quite frequently. The speed of the expansion is exceedingly sudden, which makes it extremely difficult to avoid. Like the majority of the Akimichi clan's techniques, this one requires a considerable amount of chakra. Because of this one may choose to use one of the Three Coloured Pills.

Name: Nikudan Hari Sensha (Spiky Human Boulder)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 12 - 6/post
Description: The Spiky Human Boulder is an enhanced version of the Akimichi clan's Human Boulder with its effectiveness raised several times by adding bladed/piercing implements. This technique can be performed in one of two ways:

The first way involves the user wrapping ropes with kunai attached around their body, after which the Multi-Size Technique is used. From that state, one switches over to the Human Bullet Tank. Using the kunai as spikes, the rotation power increases, and the attack power also drastically goes up. (Requires a dozen kunai)

The second involves rapidly grows his hair out to wrap around his body, in a manner similar to Needle Jizou technique, instead of using kunai. This results in far more spikes than the previous version, as well as a shorter preparation time but requires hair down at least to the middle of their back.

Name: Chouharite (Super Open Hand Slap)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 12
Description: After using the Multi-Size Technique to increase their size, the user funnels chakra into their hands, which causes special markings to appear in them. The weight and power of the hands are greatly increased because of the larger size, the muscles are activated with concentrated chakra, and the thickness is also increased. With so much chakra that it becomes visible, the user's palms become like an iron hammer. This gives this attack the power to even cave in the earth, causing extensive crushing damage to anything that may be caught beneath them. This attack is also shown to have a wide range due to the increased size of his palms.

Name: Choudan Bakugeki (Butterfly Bomb)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 12
Description: This is a life-threatening technique if used in combination with the red Akimichi food pill, which burns away all of a shinobi's excess fat and converts it into chakra. Because the members of the Akimichi clan tend to be overweight to support their techniques, this pill can give them 100 times their normal chakra level. The intensely concentrated chakra that is gained leaks out from the backbone and becomes visible through friction with the shoulder blade, appearing like a butterfly wing. The user then concentrates the unique chakra into their fist, and then puts all their body weight behind the punch. The massive amount of chakra concentrated is enough to change the user's body structure, and the user will die unless given medical attention as described in the medical encyclopedia from the Nara clan soon thereafter. Should an Akimichi be able to use the Calorie Control and enter a unique state, they can bypass the danger posed by the pills

Name: Chō Baika no Jutsu (Super Expansion Technique)
Rank: A | S
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 24 - 6/Post | 36 - 8/post
Description: The Super Expansion Technique is the height of the Expansion Technique, increasing the user's size Somewhere between 5 and ten times their normal size. Increasing their strength in exchange for speed. [Gains Strength equal to the Jutsu's rank, but their speed is cut by a third. The attack methods while in this form depends on the situation and the user's inventiveness, but massive punches, kicks and body slamming is common. However, the abnormally extreme physical change also places a large burden on the user’s body. The clothes of the user also expand along with the body. The user can also use this for any of their other clan techniques increasing the damage dealt by them to the same rank of this technique.

Name: Chou Moudo (Butterfly Mode)
Rank: A | S
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Akimichi
Cost: 8/Post | 12/post
Description: This jutsu can be used by an Akimichi regardless of Rank though if used before Chuunin the user will be required to consume the Red Chakra pill to engage it, and after 5 posts they will be in a state of near death. The user can enter this mode by converting the calories of his body into chakra, which he can then use to perform techniques. The chakra is shaped into two large butterfly wings, and then compressed into smaller wings. The technique uses an enormous amount of chakra. In this form, he can flap his wings to create a gust of chakra, as well as using some of his clan's high-level techniques, such as the Butterfly Bullet Bombing and also combine it with other techniques. While this mode is active the user gains Speed and strength up to their rank, though this mode can only be maintained for a maximum of 5 posts with a ten post cooldown..
