Re: Akimichi

"So father, are you finally willing to teach me our clan technique?"

"Bwahaha, you sure are eager to learn, son!"

Inside the main compound of the Akimichi clan, two men and one boy were having a conversation. They were talking over a big pot of tea and grilled Kebabs. The boy was Chouji, with sparkling eyes he continuously bugged his father and uncle for them to taught him the clan's technique.

The men were Chouza, the Akimichi clan's fifteenth clan master, and Choubi, his brother. They were both respectively Chouji's father and uncle, both three were the clan's present and the future main pillar.

"It's good to be eager, but you must know, Chouji-chan. Our Clan technique mainly utilizes the Yang release to strengthening our body and change its size..."

Choubi spoke while lifting his tea glass and enjoyed the aroma. Like other Akimichi, Choubi has a rotund build and distinct markings on his cheeks. He is a rather short middle-aged man with a triangular beard and a mustache that has angular corners. His hair and mustache are brown. He wears a small pair of glasses, a samurai-like outfit which entails a green suit completed with armor that has the kanji for "food" on it.

"...Members of our clan possess great physical strength and are able to quickly convert calories into chakra, which we then use in our various secret techniques. Most of these techniques rapidly consume the user's chakra during use, and maintaining them during a prolonged battle can be very tiring. For this reason, our 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" on our clothing. If standard calories aren't enough for a battle, our Akimichi clan members' can use the clan's Three Coloured Pills to convert excess fat into chakra, at the cost of one's health."

Chouji nodded solemnly hearing his uncle's explanation, he knew about the consequence and prerequisite of the clan's technique, which is to have a strong physique. That was also why he spent most of his time to train albeit he did not do it madly like a certain bushy-browed shinobi that always shout "Youth!" and wearing green spandex all day. Chouji was sure that a person must have a few screws loose on his head.

Last year when he was eight, based on pure taijutsu alone, he was able to easily beat a Chunin from his clan in a spar. Who he was kidding? he was the champion of the iron fist tournament in his past life, the most brutal martial arts in the world with various weird and world-shattering martial artists from every corner of the world.

He would be ashamed instead if he lost in the field he was most prided in beside his explosive fat, his martial prowess. If he was beaten in ninjutsu and genjutsu field, he would have no qualm about it, but in taijutsu? he might as well bang his head on a block of tofu and die a horrible death.

"Although your physical body is ready even since you're seven, your spiritual energy was not. That's why we told you to practice your chakra exercise and control." Chouza added while his hand leaning on the table made of alloy and his eyes observing the kebab on the hot pan.

Chakra is created when two other forms of energy, known collectively as one's "stamina", are molded together. Physical energy is collected from each and every one of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. While spiritual energy is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience.

These two energies becoming more powerful will, in turn, make the created chakra more powerful. Therefore, practicing a technique repeatedly will build up experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created. As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power. This same cycle applies to physical energy, except the ninjas need to increase their endurance instead.

At any given time, a ninja will have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it runs out and they need to rest to replenish it. With practice, this maximum can be increased, but to a certain extent as they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants them.

Chouza then stood and walked to the courtyard, after he reached the center, Chouza turned his body and called Chouji.

"Come, son. Let me show you our clan signature technique. [Baika no Jutsu]." Chouza made the Ram hand-seals and slowly weaving the chakra inside his body, then his body inflated and became bigger.

Star sparkled inside Chouji's eyes, he was eager to learn this technique. The bigger the size, the more power he can utilize, right? But it also means that he has to increase his agility even more than before so that he could still maintain his agility in this bigger form.

Chouji imagined himself as a giant and stomp all the bad villains with ease while shouting "Speed and Weight", droll could be seen on the corner of his lips.

"Now, try it, son. You have to learn the [Bubun Baika] or the partial multi-size technique first, you do it like this..."

Chouza slowly instructed Chouji step by step the way to utilize the [Bubun Baika no jutsu] technique.

After several trial and error, Chouji finally able to increase the size of his arm to the size of the a.d.u.l.t Akimichi clan member, several times of his own.

"Good! Now, you have to get the hang of it first before I taught you another technique. If you need anything, ask your uncle, I'll be busy handling the clan's matter for most of the time."

"Yes, father!" Chouji replied with an eager nod and a bright smile on his face.

'I'll master it, in a flash!'
