Aka and Ake

**Aka** (*Kanji*: **赤**) and **Ake** (*Kanji*: **朱**) are S-rank criminals from the Land of Hot Water. In addition, Aka is a pseudo-jinchūriki of Gyūki while Ake is a pseudo-jinchūriki of Kokuō.

## ***Profile***

### *Background*

Aka and Ake are descendants of the Yang Sage of the Six Paths. As 4-year-olds, Aka and Ake were 2 of the many Land of Hot Water individuals whom were abducted by Jashinists and fed the flesh of a tailed beast. Specifically, Aka was fed the flesh of Gyūki while Ake was fed the flesh of Kokuō.

Because of their genetic inheritance from the Yang Sage, in stark contrast to all of the abductees, they survived consuming a tailed beast's flesh and were transformed into pseudo-jinchūriki! Unfortunately, because of their lack of mental prowess and physical training, they were unable to control their new tailed beast chakra! Consequently; they became feral, murdered the other abudctees and the Jashinists as well, and then rampaged across the Land of Hot Water.

Eventually, after a decade of killing all life in sight and razing settlements in view, they managed to acclimate to and gain control of their Tailed Beast Chakra. However, by this point in time, the both of them had become S-rank criminals. As such, in order to avoid law enforcement and the military, they had to hide their statuses as pseudo-jinchūriki and flee the Land of Hot Water.

Later, after 2 years of discovering and honing their abilities as pseudo-jinchūriki and shinobi alike, they...

## ***Abilities and Equipment***

### *Pseudo-Jinchūriki Abilities*

#### **Partial Transformation**

Aka and Ake exhibit enough control over and mastery of their jinchūriki forms to affect either a part or the whole of their body with either a Version 1 or Version 2 transformation.

#### **Jinchūriki Forms**

##### Version 1

By emitting and encasing themselves within their tailed beast chakra, Aka and Ake are able to enter the 1st version of their jinchūriki form.

In Version 1, both Aka and Ake can elongate the tailed beast chakra around their arms into Tailed Beast Chakra Arms. In addition, both Aka and Ake can fashion their tailed beast chakra into tails with hand-shaped tips. Subsequently, they can use the hand-shaped tips to form hand seals and perform jutsu! And they can use the tails as bludgeons and corrosives as well! However, Aka can create 8 tails while Ake can only create 5 tails.

##### Version 2

By converting their tailed beast chakra from energy to matter, Aka and Ake are able to enter the 2nd version of their jinchūriki form.

In Version 2, Aka and Ake keep all of their Version 1 abilities and obtain the ability to both encase themselves in a bony and protective exoskeleton and enlarge their bodies in order to increase their speed and strength.

##### Tailed Beast Mode

Unfortunately for Aka and Ake, despite their control over their Version 1 form and Version 2 form, they are still at risk of losing themselves to their tailed beast chakra and rampaging without end or restraint.

Whenever Aka or Ake use mold too much tailed beast chakra, Aka and Ake will enter a Tailed Beast Mode which appears as a miniature of Gyūki for Aka and a miniature of Kokuō for Ake. Subsequently, until they have expended the surplus of tailed beast chakra, Aka and Ake will murder every person in sight and raze every settlement in view.

#### **Tailed Beast Ball**

By combining an 8 to 2 ratio of **Positive Black Chakra** (*Romaji*: **Purasu no Kuro Chakura**; *Kanji*: **+の黒チャクラ**) and **Negative White Chakra** (*Romaji*: **Mainasu no Shiro Chakura**; *Kanji*: **−の白チャクラ**), and then compressing that combination into a sphere, Aka and Ake are able to generate a Tailed Beast Ball.

Aka and Ake are able to release a Tailed Beast Ball as a beam or bullet. The more tailed beast chakra that they combine and compress into a Tailed Beast Ball, the larger and stronger the tailed beast ball will be.

#### **Tailed Beast Chakra**

During their decade of being controlled and driven into a rampage by their tailed beast chakra, Aka and Ake lost the Chakra Pathway System of a human and procured the Chakra Pathway System of a tailed beast. Specifically, Aka procured the Chakra Pathway System of Gyūki while Ake procured the Chakra Pathway System of Kokuō.

Consequently, even in their base and human forms, Aka and Ake lack conventional chakra and conventional tenketsu. Instead, Aka and Ake exhibit tailed beast chakra. And Aka exhibits Gyūki's tenketsu while Ake exhibits Kokuō's tenketsu.
