When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

The Akimichi is a unique group of shinobi, placing their Secret Techniques within the realm of body alteration. 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.[break][break]
As a tribute, members of the clan wear the kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on the their clothing. Furthermore, if standard calories aren't enough for a battle, Akimichi can use several of the clan's key items in order to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health. Many Akimichi are known to use a bō as their choice of weapon, mainly because these staffs have the ability to lengthen in proportion to their wielder's size, and then to go with the clan's mantra of using one's internal strength, rather than relying on outside sources of power.[break][break]
The Akimichi clan has a special relationship with the Nara and Yamanaka clan. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a former famous Kage gave them special earrings in front of the eyes of many, after war and during peace keeping, to present to each generation clan head when they are promoted to 'Chūnin', after which they will swear their oaths. Most importantly, the earrings also symbolise that they are considered adults by their respective clans.[break][break]
In the end Akimichi are fun loving yet loyal warriors - just don't call them fat.[break][break]
Special Trait: Rikishi (Powerful Gentleman)[break] Because they are constantly eating to perform their calorie-dependent clan techniques, Akimichi clan members boast a high level of strength and chakra that translates to an additional x2 High on top of their base pool.[break][break]
Restrictions[break] 1. The Akimichi clan is a Taijutsu Primary clan.[break] 2. Akimichi members must be fat.[break][break]
I. TIME TO SNACK - Calories are a large part of an Akimichi's jutsu. Not having enough calories will leave them incapable of performing even their most basic jutsu. In order to maintain this, many Akimichi carry multiple snacks and food in order to keep themselves above the needed amount. Having mastered a particular number of jutsu, the Akimichi will be able to replenish their calories at any given time. Eating a snack of their choice, they will be able to replenish x2 Mid worth of chakra with each snack. Snacks may only be eaten once per page, in a thread. This chakra cannot allot more chakra than the Akimichi has.[break][break]
II. LIKE A MOUNTAIN - The members of the Akimichi clan are known for their ability to become super sized. Because of this, and the vigorous training that comes along with it, Akimichi clan members receive a drastic reduction to all damage received on super-imposed portions of their body, with their base durability tripling if their entire body is super sized.[break][break]
III. KING OF THE HILL - It is rare that any being grows to a size comparable to the Akimichi, but it still occurs; namely when bijuu or summons are involved. With the final level of mastery achieved, Akimichi who find themselves facing an opponent that is larger than even they can become are capable of tripling their super-sized form in order to perform a single Akimichi attack against their foe, though they will no longer be capable of Akimichi techniques for the remainder of the thread. Unlike most clans, this ability can stack with the other Akimichi masteries.[break][break]
Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Multi-Size Technique)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Mid to use, Low to sustain[break] Bubun Baika no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan, and is the first technique of the multi-size series. At will, the user is able to expand at least 1 part of their body by double their original size (both height and weight). The arms and legs are usually chosen for this technique. Because this technique eats up the body’s calories, it is not suggested to be used on an empty stomach.[break][break]
Note: This technique can be used on a maximum of two appendages for double the cast cost (x2 Mid), while sustain cost remains the same.[break][break]
Nikudan Sensha (Human Bullet Tank)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Mid to use, Low to sustain[break] Nikudan Sensha is a Taijutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan. After using Baika no Jutsu to modify their body into a large sphere shape, the user will withdraw their limbs. Next, they will launch their body into the air, spinning at high speed toward their opponent. The fast spinning is usually enough to block most projectiles, causing them to bounce of their surface. Any direct attack used against this will cause bones to be crushed.[break][break]
Note: This Technique allows the user to move at +1 speed of their original movement. [break][break]
Baika no Jutsu (Multi-Size Technique)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: x2 Mid to use, Mid to sustain[break] Baika no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan, and is the second technique of the multi-size series. After performing the necessary hand seals, the user is able to expand their entire body by triple their original size (both height and weight), allowing them to effectively turn themselves into a giant. Because this technique eats up the body’s calories, it is not suggested to be used on an empty stomach.[break][break]
Note: This technique grants the user an additional 2 strength in this form.[break][break]
Nikudan Hari Sensha (Spiked Human Bullet Tank)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~10m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: x2 Mid to use, Mid to sustain[break] Nikudan Hari Sensha is a Taijutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan. After using Baika no Jutsu to modify their body into a large sphere shape, like Nikuden Sensha, the user will spin rapidly at their opponent, capable of easily crushing them with their body mass. The only difference between this technique and the former is that the user will use wire and kunai to cover their body (or harden their hair), capable of adding a slicing-edge to their attack.[break][break] Note: This Technique allows the user to move at +1 speed of their original movement.[break][break]
Chou Baika no Jutsu (Super Multi-Size Technique)[break] Rank: A[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 5[break] Chakra Consumption: High to use, x2 Mid to sustain[break] Chou Baika no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan, and is the third technique of the multi-size series. After performing the necessary hand seals, the user is able to expand their entire body by quadrupling their original size (both height and weight), allowing them to effectively turn themselves into a giant. Because this technique eats up the body’s calories, it is not suggested to be used on an empty stomach.[break][break] Note: This technique grants the user an additional +3 strength in this form.[break][break]
Chouharite (Super Open Hand Slap)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: x2 Mid to use, Mid to sustain[break] Chouharite is a Taijutsu utilized by the Akimichi clan. After increasing their body size with Baika no Jutsu, the user is able to channel chakra through their palms. They will then slam their palms directly into their opponent below, smashing them into the ground.[break][break]
Karori Kontorouru (Calorie Control)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: -[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: High - Massive[break] This ability grants members of the Akimichi clanfree control of their body's calories — which they convert into chakra in order to perform their techniques. The Akimichi developed the Three Colored Pills for easier use of this technique, however, the use of these pills carry great risks. On the contrary, these effects are not seen when the user performs the technique without the assistance of the pills. At the highest level of the technique, the user converts calories into chakra and releases the chakra in the shape of two large butterfly wings. In this form, the user can use some of their clan's high-level techniques, such as the Butterfly Bullet Bombing technique several times without experiencing fatigue or other adverse effects. The user still experiences weight loss but it isn't nearly as severe as when the pills are used.[break][break]
Note: This technique effectively allows the Akimichi clan member to generate a various amount of chakra for the sub-technique, Choudan Bakugeki (Butterfly Bullet Bombing). The amount of chakra invested into the aforementioned attack directly correlates how much damage is capable of delivering.[break][break]
At the most basic level, the user is able to generate 1 High worth of chakra from their calories. This allows the user to sustain the “Calorie Control Form” for a total of one [1] post.[break][break]
Pushing ahead, the user is able to generate x2 High worth of chakra from their calories. This allows the user to sustain the “Calorie Control Form” for a total of two [2] posts.[break][break]
Generating x3 High worth of chakra from their calories allows the user to sustain this form for a total of three [3] posts, while offering a Massive or more will merit four [4] sustained turns of the Calorie Control Form.[break][break]
Any usage of this technique will result in a fatigue period (the duration of which correlates exactly to how many turns the user’s Calorie Control Form was active) at which they will suffer astronomically decreased mobility [-1 SPD], and be unable to use Taijutsu of c-rank and below.[break][break]
Choudan Bakugeki (Butterfly Bullet Bombing)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: -[break] This technique is the sub-jutsu performed after access to the Calorie Control Form has been gained. Because the members of the Akimichi clan tend to be overweight to support their techniques, they’re able to generate massive amounts of chakra by rapidly burning away the excess fat. 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 one devastating punch.[break][break]
Note: The amount of damage this attack does scales directly with how much chakra is offered by its parent technique.[break] 1 High: The punch performed carries an additional +1 Strength.[break][break]
2 High: The punch performed carries an additional +2 Strength.[break][break]
3 High: The punch performed carries an additional +3 Strength.[break][break]
1 Massive: The punch performed carries an additional +4 Strength, plus an additional x1 for each additional massive given to this technique.[break][break]
