Three Colored Pills

三色の丸薬

*Sanshoku no Gan'yaku*

The Three Colored Pills are a unique set of pills created by the Akimichi Clan. They have long existed as a last resort of the Akimichi Clan's noble family, and the few they trust to use such power responsibly; much like a Kinjutsu. By consuming these pills in sequential order, from the Green Spinach Pill, to the Yellow Curry Pill, and the Red Chili Pill; the user is able to temporarily tap into an unrestricted form of Butterfly Mode. The pills are capable of doing so through the various poisons and other herbs that forcibly convert the body's fat into chakra. Through the stories of old, the previous heads of the Akimichi Clan were said to become a hundred times stronger than what they originally were in dire situations. At the cost of this, however, the users become dangerously emaciated and die soon afterward from the poison circulating through their system.

Most users will die within minutes of their original use of these pills. Even those found and stabilized by Medical-Nin are likely to die. To this day, only one Akimichi is said to have survived the process, the original clan head. However, given the texts that illustrate his fantastic life, it is hard to discern if he truly did survive the ordeal and if he did, how it happened.

## Consuming the Pills

### Green Spinach Pill

The Green Spinach Pill, upon being ingested, grants the user a sudden increase in their natural abilities. Users who have ingested this, while not appearing different on the outside, will be noticeably stronger and faster than they normally would be. This is due to them having a ¼th of their Constitution converted into raw chakra. This sudden stimulation improves the user's strength and speed substantially, albeit for a limited amount of time.

During this time, the converted chakra made from one's reserves acts as a temporary extra pool of Chakra that users can draw upon or choose to maintain for its physical buffs. The exact amount of points derived from this buff divide the total amount of extra chakra gained by half. These are then added to the user's Strength and Agility.

After this buff is activated, the secondary pool of Chakra will deplete by ¼th of its original value for every round. Once it is empty, the effect of this pill will wear off. It is well-known that by reaching this point, although it doesn't cause any deterioration, the user will be in an immense amount of pain from the poisons building up in their body.

### Yellow Curry Pill

The Yellow Curry Pill, when ingested, grants its user the ability to use their Akimichi hiden without reservation. This means that when a user performs a hiden, or other Yang-related jutsu through the use of Calorie Control, they do not need to use Chakra to do so. Instead, only using their Constitution attribute as described by the Calorie Control system.

This buff will last for exactly four rounds, at which point it will wear off. Upon reaching this point, the poisons circulating in the user's body will create such painful sensations that it will be hard to even move.

### Red Chili Pill

The Red Chili Pill, the final one to take before reaching death's doorstep, grants a significant boon to the user when ingested. All of their Constitution score is forcibly converted to chakra. This is represented by the user's entire body thinning out, becoming severely emaciated as every last ounce of their fat is converted to raw chakra. However, this chakra is more than excessive, as it literally pours out of the user's body. It drains 12 points of Chakra per round, giving most users very little time to make the use of this form. Users who possess the Butterfly Bullet Bombing may use this technique, and due to all of the excess chakra being used in this single blow, have its lethality increased to something similar to an S-Rank jutsu. In exchange however, *all* of the excess chakra as well as what remains will be used in the process.

Once all of the user's chakra is spent, they will succumb to their injuries and fall unconscious. At this point they have one minute (twenty rounds) to be stabilized by a medical-nin with appropriate jutsu (e.g. Delicate Illness Extraction Technique). The number of rounds may be shortened provided nothing happens immediately, or the World Master deems that there is no possible way of saving the Akimichi. However, even with jutsu dealt to specifically deal with the poison, it will not be enough to save a user's life. Over the course of the next six hours, the user will slip and out of consciousness. Becoming less and less reponsive even with the use of the greatest medical jutsu. If a cure is not found in this time, the user will succumb to the poison and die; if not preemptively assumed DNR by supervising Medical-Nin.
