Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (-20 per turn active)
Damage: (+30 to elemental taijutsu/weapon-based attacks according to pill administered)
Description: These pills allow the Yakuza to temporarily enhance their elemental chakra. They contain drugs that stimulate their chakra pathway system, as well as a pre-applied small amount of the respective elemental chakra to serve as a catalyst as a means to make it easier for them to increase the respective elemental nature's effectiveness be it offensive or defensive (defensive-based elemental taijutsu/weapon-based techniques A rank and below will increase by one rank). There are five kinds of pills, one for each of the basic elements; each grant their own unique ability pertaining to the elemental nature that they are associated with, along with allowing the user to harness the enhanced elemental chakra in a rudimentary way; by flowing it through their weapons and limbs, similar to other techniques involving chakra (i.e, NB taijutsu/elemental kenjutsu) -- these, however, do not allow the user to perform ninjutsu of any kind. Additionally, when a specific chakra nature is infused within the Yakuza's weapon(s), they become capable of contesting against any enemy attacks from that chakra nature within logical reason (for example, if one administers the fire pill, flows fire chakra into their sword, and the opponent sends a small fireball at them, they can cut through and disperse the attack). They can similarly apply this elemental chakra to any samurai-saber based technique in order to allow the technique to increase in strength and adopt the properties of the chosen element, although if this is done, the technique in question loses its inherent neutrality to the five basic elements and instead follows the appropriate strengths and weaknesses depending on which elemental chakra was applied.
Aka 赤: Aka, the fire pill, calls forth the samurai's ability to strengthen their fire chakra. It can be channeled and formed from any of their weapons or limbs, providing the effect of being able to inflict burns up to the fourth degree (free-form strikes, be they taijutsu or kenjutsu can only inflict up to second degree burns). The Yakuza can also use this pill as a means of performing cauterization on any open wounds on their limbs by focusing the fire chakra on the afflicted area(s), causing it to manifest directly on those spots.
Ao 青: Ao, the water pill, calls forth the samurai's ability to strengthen their water chakra. It can be channeled and formed from any of their weapons or limbs, although it provides no natural damaging effect, as the essence of water release relies on being able to create water in order to cause blunt force damage, something that cannot be achieved through water chakra alone; although it can be used to suppress any pain caused through burns by focusing the water chakra on the afflicted limb area(s).
Shiro 白: Shiro, the wind pill, calls forth the samurai's ability to strengthen their wind chakra. It can be channeled and formed from any of their weapons or limbs, providing the effect of being able to imbue slicing damage into the Yakuza's attacks, along with increasing the slicing damage of their kenjutsu. Each taijutsu and weapon-based strike inflicted will not only cause damage due to the initial attack, but moderate, minute cuts all over the part of the body that the strike connected to; kenjutsu and other weapon-based attacks will also be capable of cutting into the target deeper regardless of the force behind the swing.
Ki 黄: Ki, the lightning pill, calls forth the samurai's ability to strengthen their lightning chakra. It can be channeled and formed from any of their weapons or limbs, providing the effect of being able to not only increase the cutting damage of weapon-based strikes, but inflicting minor, brief moments of paralyses around the muscles where the strike cut into. Taijutsu strikes will also cause brief moments of paralyses (i.e, a strike to the opponent's right shoulder area will cause a brief delay in the opponent's ability to rotate the shoulder and thus delay the movement of their entire arm).
Kasshoku 褐色: Kasshoku, the earth pill, calls forth the samurai's ability to strengthen their earth chakra. It can be channeled and formed any of their weapons or limbs, providing the effect of being able to increase the sturdiness of weapons or the limbs where the chakra is channeled toward; the Yakuza will be capable of striking objects which would otherwise shatter weapons or break bone unharmed.
