Poison

Poison was a tool often used to severely weaken or kill a person. The Scorpion Clan were infamous for using poisons although, much like ninja, there was very rarely any proof.

=== Emperor Hantei XXXVIII ===
Emperor Hantei XXXVIII was poisoned by Bayushi Shoju at the start of the Scorpion Coup, moments before he killed him. The Imperial Taster, Bayushi Togai, had been maneuvered into place to survive the poison first, to prevent alerting anyone to the coup. Autumn Nightfall, by Ree Soesbee
=== Emperor Hantei XXXIX ===
The Emperor Hantei XXXIX was continuously poisoned by his wife Bayushi Kachiko during the Clan War, in revenge for the fate of Bayushi Shoju and the Scorpion Clan. The Imperial Doctor put the Emperor's declining health down to the plague. The Scorpion Clan (Imperial Herald #2)
