Makaro Akimichi

Yachie Ōkumo is a shinobi of the Ookumo Clan, in Konohagakure.

## Background

Makaro Akimichi was born to Shiki-ko and Dōtō Akimichi. When Makaro was two years old, it became apparent that Tomoki Senju, Tsunade Senju's second daughter, who was six at the time, was also an Akimichi. This revelation stemmed from Dōtō's past involvement with Tsunade around the time Tomoki was conceived. Confronted about Tomoki's parentage, Tsunade admitted that Dōtō was indeed Tomoki's father.

With Dōtō and Shiki-ko being happily married and not wanting to disrupt their family dynamics significantly, they agreed to let Tsunade have sole custody of Tomoki. However, the Akimichi family remained involved in Tomoki's life, spending time with her and imparting the traditions of their clan. Consequently, Makaro and Tomoki were not raised together in the same household, but they frequently met, often engaging in training sessions or sharing meals.

### Genin

    When Makaro reached the age of twelve, he successfully completed his training at the academy and was promoted to the rank of Genin. He was assigned to Team 28, alongside Eimi Gyōtō and Yachie Ōkumo, under the guidance of their sensei, Yuisa Uzumaki.

## Appearance

Like many members of the Akimichi clan, he is robust in appearance. He has dark brown spiky hair and dark eyes. He also has triangular markings on both sides of his cheek. He wears the customary armour of his clan, with the kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on the chest. As a Chūnin, he sports his village's flak jacket.

## Abilities

Makaro Akimichi possesses remarkable physical prowess, characterized by immense strength that allows him to swiftly convert calories into chakra, enabling the execution of a myriad of secret techniques. However, the rapid consumption of chakra associated with most of these techniques makes them taxing to maintain in prolonged battles, emphasizing the need for strategic energy management.
In addition to his exceptional strength, Makaro exhibits outstanding durability and speed, making him a formidable force on the battlefield. His resilience enables him to endure powerful attacks, while his agility allows him to swiftly maneuver and evade adversaries, enhancing his overall combat effectiveness.

Makaro's remarkable chakra levels are a testament to his exceptional stamina, which he builds up through a voracious appetite. He consumes copious amounts of food to both build and replenish his chakra reserves. As a symbolic tribute to his clan's unique abilities, Makaro proudly displays the kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on his clothing, representing the essence of his Akimichi heritage. However, in the heat of battle, if his standard calorie intake proves insufficient, he resorts to using the clan's specialized Three Coloured Pills. These pills enable him to convert excess fat into chakra, albeit at the cost of his health, allowing him to sustain his techniques when conventional means fall short.

As for weaponry, Makaro wields a versatile bō, which holds a unique feature: it can elongate in proportion to his size. This adaptability grants him an extended reach in combat, enhancing the effectiveness of his strikes and enabling him to engage adversaries from a safe distance. His mastery over this weapon further amplifies his combat skills, making him a versatile and formidable opponent in various situations.

In terms of elemental affinities, Makaro is proficient in Fire and Lightning Release, with Earth Release serving as his primary affinity. He predominantly employs Yang Release for his body-expanding techniques, harnessing its vitalizing properties to enhance his physical abilities. Additionally, his proficiency in Earth Release allows him to erect sturdy rock walls, providing reliable protection against incoming attacks and showcasing his strategic acumen in battle.
