BY THE BY! I didn't mean for this chapter to be offending to anyone. so please don't be offended.


Let's face it. Akimichi Chouji is fat. In those episodes where Chouji was reminiscing about his childhood where we got a look at lil Chouji, maybe, just maybe, we could have said that lil Chouji wasn't fat; he was merely big boned-ed. But now, there's really no denying it. Chouji is fat. Big boned-ed-ness cannot account for his size. Especially when you factor in his affinity for po-TA-to chips. Yeah, Chouji's fat. Or maybe it's a combination of big boned-ed-ness and fat. That would work too. Then you've got Chouji's big ol' jolly dad Chomaru. I highly doubt there's anyone out there who would deny that Chomaru is fat. I also highly doubt that there was ever a time when Chomaru's fatness could possibly be passed off as big boned-ed-ness, even when he was a little tyke. It's just inconceivable. And since we're being honest here, let's just go all out: Chomaru isn't just fat. He has transcended the point called "fat." He has reached: morbid obesity. So from the fact that both Chomaru and his son Chouji are rather… large, to put it nicely, we can deduce that the entire Akimichi clan is probably rather large. But before we just pass the Akimich clan off as that group of rather large, rotund people who are all related to each other, let us consider just why each member of the clan shares this peculiar rotundness. Oh, I know. It's because fatness is the AKIMICHI CLAN'S SECRET CHAKRA SUPPLY! HUZZAH!

Right, so if you think about it, fat as the Akimichi secret chakra supply actually makes sense. At least, it's got more support in the series than some of our other secret chakra supplies have had. But anyways, moving on.

Evidence point #1: Well, this one was already kind of stated before, but just to be repetitive, let's state it again: the fact that ALL the Akimichi clan members are fat can't POSSIBLY be a coincidence. And if it was, it's an awfully LARGE coincidence… no pun intended. Actually, it was. But let's just pretend it wasn't. Err… oh yes. So there must be a reason why all of them are fat. And it makes perfect sense to say that they store chakra in their fat, thus, making fat their secret chakra supply.

Evidence point #2, which I swear will make more sense that evidence point #1 did: We've got a wonderful case-in-point that proves this entire supposition for you. In a recent episode of the anime, we got to see Chouji whup some ugly-troll-looking-Jiroubou ass. And if I may say so myself, that was an awesomely cool episode. But back to the point. In order for Chouji to whup some ugly-troll-looking-Jiroubou ass, he had to take a couple of pills which make his chakra levels shoot WAY UP. In fact, that last pill he took made all his chakra SPILL out of him, giving him some uberly cool-looking butterfly wings in the process. And when his chakra SPILLED out of him, he suddenly became sexy skinny. Let's reiterate: When his chakra spilled out of him. He became sexy skinny. So, for those of you who find it hard to follow along, the fact that Chouji got sexy skinny when his chakra started whooshing out of him in large amounts implies that his chakra is what causes him to be rotund, which, in turn, implies that his fat is chakra. This does not, however, mean that his chakra causes him to be un-sexy, which some people might think is the case since his chakra whooshing out of him left him sexy skinny. It's just his general fatness that makes him un-sexy. Though… if his un-sexyness is caused by his fatness… and his fatness is caused by his chakra… I suppose if you wanted to look at it THAT way, yeah, his chakra also causes his unsexiness. But that's besides the point. The point is, and I think I have made it ridiculously clear: Fat is the secret chakra supply for the Akimichi clan.

Evidence point #3, which isn't really an evidence point, it's more of a situation, but just to go with the flow of the rest of the story, I'm making it into an evidence point: Let's talk liposuction. Yeah, there is such a thing as liposuction in Konoha. In fact, it was the Akimichi clan who brought this quick fix for all those insane people who think sticking a tube into their body and turning on a vacuum to suck out all the fat they have is healthy to Konoha. See, the wise elders of the Akimichi clan had heard tales of this procedure in which fat was suctioned out of people. They put their round heads together and decided, hey, if we store our chakra in our fat, imagine how much chakra we'd be able to store if we got OTHER people's fat AS WELL! So they did a little research, invested in some start-up companies to get a little money rolling in, and within a year, bought their first liposuction machine and set up a surgery clinic in the outskirts of Konoha. To say that it was a smashing success would be an understatement. All those random villagers you see walking around in the episodes are skinny for a reason. It's all thanks to liposuction. Sadly though, the Akimichi clan's brilliant plan to store chakra in other people's fat didn't work out as well as they hoped. Sure, they could store chakra in it, but then they'd have to carry around bags of people's fat with them, and that was just a level of grossness no one in the clan wanted to sink to. You'd THINK they would have considered this point beforehand… but whatever. Anyways, even with their chakra-storing-plans down the drain, they continued with their surgery clinic which eventually expanded from liposuction to all sorts of cosmetic surgery procedures like botox and face lifts. Hey, they needed the money. It's not easy to feed an entire clan of morbidly obese people.
