Ninjutsu
Dokumi Douka (Foretasted Assimilation)
Ninjutsu, A Rank.
Dokumi douka is a ninjutsu that Akemi uses to absorb any natural and man-made poisons into her body without harm and expel it back in the form of chakra. Akemi may use this chakra to imbue her weaponry with poisons other than her own creations, or create needles out of chakra and inflict the poisons onto another. This does not work against Dokunochi.

Habu Dokuso no Basshi (Viper's Fang Extraction)
Ninjutsu, A Rank.
Habu dokuso no basshi is a medical ninjutsu that allows Akemi to pull a poison out of an afflicted victim by breaking the victim's flesh with her nail, and then drawing the poison out with threads of chakra. Akemi then assimilates the chakra into herself, storing the poison for later jutsu that might require it, such as Doku Kiri.

Ukojizai no Jutsu (Fierce Raining at Will)
Ninjutsu, A Rank.
Ukojizai allows its user to blanket a region with a downpour of rain. The user ninja is able to maintain a connection to the rain and tell when someone is obstructing it. Akemi has a tendency to combine this with her Dokunochi, drawing blood before forming the required handseals. This adds her poisoned blood into the rain, infecting a widespread area.

Doku Kiri (Poison Mist)
Ninjutsu, B Rank.
This technique allows Akemi to expel poison gas from her body. This can serve as cover for an escape and as an offensive technique against her opponent.

Ji Bunshin no Jutsu (Soil Replication Technique)
Ninjutsu, B Rank.
Ji Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can utilize any jutsu it wishes, but will deteriorate and fade back into the ground once attacked. Each bunshin reflects an aspect of Akemi's own personality, and each bunshin is capable of working on its own or in a team.

Miwakeru no Byougentai (Pathogen Identification)
Ninjutsu, B Rank.
Miwakeru no byougentai is a medical ninjutsu used by Akemi to determine the origin of a victim's symptoms. By forcing some of her own chakra into the body of a comrade, and then pulling it back into herself, Akemi is able to identify if an affliction is a disease, poison, or syndrome, and whether the cause was man-made or natural.

Fukumi hari (Hidden Needles)
Ninjutsu, C Rank.
Akemi is able to call forth needles into her mouth and spit them at her opponent with great accuracy. Akemi frequently combines this technique with her kekkai genkai, loading multiple needles into her mouth before turning off the bloodline trait as a way to help overcome the symptoms.

Kai (Release)
Ninjutsu, C rank.
Kai is a ninjutsu that allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a genjutsu illisuion. After forming the needed handseals, the genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. This technique may also be applied onto a victim of genjutsu, by touching the afflicted person or persons after forming handseals.

Kazagumo no jutsu (Wind Spiders Technique)
Ninjutsu, C Rank.
Kazagumo no jutsu is a technique wherein a ninja will summon hundreds of small, inconspicuous spiders and send them off into the air, to find and track the opponent.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
Ninjutsu, C Rank.
A powerful jutsu, Kuchiyose allows for a ninja to summon animals, objects, and the dead to fight on their behalf. The ninja normally signs a contract with the animal species, which allows her to summon different sizes and levels of the creature.

Iwagakure no Jutsu (Rock Hiding technique)
Ninjutsu, D Rank.
Iwagakure no jutsu is an earth elemented technique that allows its user to change their appearance by blending and merging with the surrounding rock. This allows the ninja to move unseen, which assists in attack and escape.

Kanashibari no Jutsu (Temporary Body Paralysis Technique)
Ninjutsu, D Rank.
Used to temporarily bind an individual. With the person frozen in place, it leaves them open to attack.

Taijutsu
Suteingu Hachi (Wasp's Eight Stings)
Taijutsu, B Rank.
After bringing chakra to her arms so as to move them swiftly, Akemi will use a series of eight kunai in rapid succession. She will make fleeting jabs at her opponent in various weak points on the body: The jugular, the ribs, the achilles tendons, the hands, at the small of the back, and at the back of the neck. Though not every kunai will make a successful strike, one will hit on the mark. Akemi has no control over which one will definitely succeed.

BLOODLINE: Furuchi. Only the females in the Oketsu line may carry the kekkai genkai trait. Furuchi allows for Akemi's bodily fluids (spit, blood, etc.) to act as various poisons.

Drawback to Furuchi: Depending on the poison used, Akemi's immune system will deteriorate for a period of time before building back up to its original resilience. The side effects for each poison is listed below:

(Coloured - Effects on Akemi. Italics - Effects on victims. The following are the effects using Akemi's posions only.)

Genkaku no Renzu (Hallucinating Lens). Hallucination -
Blurred vision, headaches (minor pressure to throbbing) Takes eight hours to one day to recover, depending how often it is used once Furuchi is triggered.
Effect on victim - Sensory delusion, in where the victim feels mental and physical torture for up to ten minutes.

Shiketsu (Deadly Blood). Lethal -
High fever, double-vision. Takes three days to three weeks to recover, depending how often it is used once Furuchi is triggered.
Effect on victim - (Botulin) Can take up to thirty-six hours to kill, though early into that time frame, the victim will have already fallen to the side-effects of Shiketsu. See Other for details.

Note - Akemi's first use of the lethal poison forced her into the medical ward for three weeks.

HISTORY: While Akemi was still very young, her father killed a high ranking foreign official in self-defense. In blind vengeance, the country sent assassins to kill off Akemi's father's family. By this time, Akemi had already shown signs of the kekkai genkai, and her mother had already taken her to the Oketsu clan--neither mother nor daughter were harmed during the raid.
Afterwards, however, Akemi's mother threw herself into her work as an ANBU, and was killed shortly after Akemi began training in the academy. Feeling the loss, Akemi poured herself into her studies, graduating from the ninja academy at eleven.
She became a Chuunin at 17, and a Jounin (Tokubetsu) at 18. Towards the end of her nineteenth year, she became a part of Konoha's ANBU force. Recently, she was forced to resign from ANBU, and is now working as a teacher and team leader of her own squad.

OTHER:
-Before joining ANBU, she was close with her sensei, Yuudo Toshiro. It has been speculated that the two had maintained a relationship deeper than student-teacher.

- Though the genes are by this time strained, she is considered an inbred child by her clan, as her mother comes from the Oketsu clan and her father from the Noiru.

- Botulin poison: Characterized by muscle weakness and paralysis, disturbances of vision, swallowing and speech, and a high mortality rate (in that order, in most cases).
