Akimichi
Chubby, big boned, but never fat, the Akimichi are a sturdy people with roots stemming from the Fire Country. Those of the Akimichi clan have a unique ability that allows them to manipulate the size of their body and limbs, and possess the unique trait of transforming all the calories stored within their bodies into raw energy. Though generally goodhearted, the Akimichi have little tolerance for words relating to their weight, which generally tends to be a bit more than little above standards. This comes from the fact that all Akimichi possess a nearly insatiable appetite, their sense of taste far more acute than others.
Big Boned - Passive
The Akimichi clan's number one recognizable trait is their size. They enjoy eating and it seems to be a genetic trait rather than a conscious decision. Naturally, all this extra food tends to build up quickly within their bodies, and they tend to be rather chonky. Though this extra weight leaves them as some of the slower shinobi in the land, they are also all more resilient and durable than normal.

Bear Hug - Passive
The Akimichi’s large size contributes to many things. Wearing larger clothing, taking multiple seats in a booth, and being able to take the hit from something that would cripple a normal man. Despite their size, they are also incredibly quick; fast to scoop up whatever dared to strike them.

Heavyweight - Bloodline Style
An Akimichi’s strength can be measured in pounds and one best get out the way when they start fighting.

Elephant Gun - Unarmed Taijutsu
By circulating the chakra already patiently waiting stored up in their fat cells, an Akimichi can increase the size of their body parts into the colossal limbs of something out of a fairy tale. The size is so terrifyingly massive that they can sweep aside multiple opponents with a simple brush of their hand; as if sweeping loose dirt off a surface.

Partial Expansion - Buffing Taijutsu
The most well known ability of an Akimichi. By manipulating the chakra of their coils to leak into their muscular structure, the big boned protagonists can increase the size of a single limb at whim; turning a straight punch into being hit by a car in a split second.

Calorie Control Mastery
Calorie Control is a two word taboo within the ranks of the Akimichi, preferring to eat and intake as many calories as possible to convert into chakra for combat. However, within the clan is a special set of food pills that allow them to take the two word taboo and turn it into a weapon. By burning the calories stored up in their body at hypersonic speeds, they gain unrivaled strength and chakra reserves far beyond their base power. Those who digest the pills in full are often granted chakra wings that are shaped from the energy held outside of their body so that they don’t self explode from the raw power of suddenly burning their fat for fuel. This power comes at a price, and those who ingest the first set of pills rarely have the constitution for a second round.
Papilio Antimachus - Passive
More than just being able to make oneself thin, the Akimichi use Calorie Control to burn their weight into raw chakra that stabilizes itself through their body for the explosive use of a string of Taijutsu. However, the process in which they burn themselves for the upper edge has a rebound that often slowly tears apart their insides over time.
Rank 1/2/3: AP timing of all Bloodline Taijutsu are reduced by 0.25/0.5/0.75 and Bloodline Taijutsu have increased Called Shot Chance by 5%/10%/15%.
Notes:
- AP cannot be lowered below 0.5 for any Taijutsu
---
Houren Pills - Passive
The secret technique of Complete Metabolic Control is one learned through trial and error, and it is said to be impossible to fully master. The start of any Akimichi’s training in this powerful technique starts with the Houren Pills; three colored pills that force calorie burn at rates that would kill a normal man. These pills are used as a method to train the basics of the secret techniques, but the Red Pill is often a forbidden food, used only as a last resort as it can easily cause the death of the one who eats it.
Rank 1/2/3: The user gains a Akimichi Pouch inventory slot. The Akimichi Pouch contains the following Pills:
Green Spinach Pill: Restores 5% Max CP, grants +1 Melee Accuracy and +5% Damage to all Taijutsu Techniques that use Melee Accuracy.

One-Inch Strike - Unarmed Taijutsu
With their bodies no longer having the weight that their chunkier cousins proudly hoist, Akimichi who take to total calorie control find themselves lacking the same “umph” to a punch they’d normally have.

Rank 1/2/3: The user makes an attack that deals 1450/1810/2715 Damage at -1/+0/+1 accuracy with +5%/+10%/+15% chance to cause a Called Shot Location to become “Useless” for the next 10 Seconds. At Rank 3 the User may use the Special Action. The user selects the Called Shot Location.

Monarch Stinger Strike - Unarmed Taijutsu
The Calorie Control technique does more than just burn fat. At a higher mastery it can also burn the toxins in the body to tilt the Akimichi’s natural chakra to become tainted. This causes every strike infused with their chakra to leave a burning fist imprint on their opponents and a feeling of ill invading their systems.
Rank 1/2/3: The user targets a Hostile Target at -2/-1/0 Accuracy six times. Each attack that is a Full Hit lowers the Opponent’s Accuracy by -1 for 10 seconds, stacking up to -4. If four attacks hit, the Opponent takes 800 Damage per Called Shot Location that is above Rank 2.

---
Butterfly Bullet Bomb - Unarmed Taijutsu
The chemicals inside of the Red Pill force the metabolism into overtime to burn nearly every calorie it can force the body to find and then convert it directly into chakra. The chakra created by this violent act is so strong that it often explodes outside of the user’s body in a shape; often the wings of a butterfly. It is then converted into a single devastating attack that carries not only all of the explosive chakra, but the Akimichi’s very life force.
Rank 1/2/3: The user makes an attack dealing 3465/4330/5410 Physical Damage at -3/-2/-1 Accuracy. A full hit raises all the hostile target’s Called Shot locations by 1.

Behemoth
Some Akimichi refuse to follow the path of Calorie Control, taking the word taboo to heart and focus purely on being the biggest man in the room; literally. These of the clan focus on mastering the Partial Expansion technique until they can expand their entire body all at once to become a literal giant on the battlefield. Known widely through the world as "human titans", the Behemoths are the go-to guards most royalty within the world hire out due to their threatening size. With their height and weight to match, these Akimichi can swipe aside entire platoons with the back of their hand, and even 1v1 kaiju-level Jinchuruki forms.
Extra Padding - Passive
Taking their weight and size far more seriously than the most casual of their clan, these Akimichi tend to be a bit larger than most and have found a way to weaponize it. By constantly shuffling chakra between their flesh and muscle to strengthen both, they infuse their very fat cells with chakra to a point that, sometimes, even a sword can’t seem to cut through their rolls.
Rank 1/2/3: Increases HP Mod by 2/4/6

While already considered powerful by the testament of their size alone, a Behemoth can even change the very landscape of a battlefield simply by putting their foot down.

Human Bullet Tank - Unarmed Taijutsu
