Butterfly Mode

Members of the Akimichi clan can enter this mode by converting the calories of their body into chakra, which they can then use to perform techniques. The chakra is shaped into two large butterfly wings. In this form, the user can use some of their clan's high-level techniques, such as the Butterfly Bullet Bombing.

There are two methods of entering this mode. The first is through use of the Akimichi's Three Coloured Pills, which aggressively convert all of the user's calories into chakra; if the pills are not regulated properly, the user may die from the rapid weight loss. Practiced users are able to convert their calories into chakra on their own through a process known as ; because they are in complete control of how much of their body weight is turned into chakra, it poses less of a risk to the user.
