Three Colored Pills
From Narutopedia
- Name: Three Colored Pills (三色の丸薬, Sanshoku no Gan'yaku)
- Type: Medicine, Supplementary
- Users: Akimichi clan
The Three Colored Pills are secret medicine used in the Akimichi clan. As the name suggests, there are three pills, each with a different color. First is the green Spinach Pill (ホウレン丸, Hōrengan), next is the yellow Curry Pill (カレー丸, Karēgan), and last is the red Chilli Pill (トンガラシ丸, Tongarashigan).
By forcibly converting the body's fat reserves into chakra, each successive pill ingested gives a tremendous power boost. The Chilli Pill is even said to increase one's power a hundred times. However, the pills have a drawback. Each pill damages the body, poisoning it and since the third pill converts all one's fat reserves, the user will become dangerously emaciated. It is said that after the third pill, death is imminent. However, the Nara clan has apparently done extensive research on the Akimichi and their pills, and that knowledge allowed the Fifth Hokage to neutralize the poison and repair the damage to Choji Akimichi, after he took all three pills to fight and kill Jirobo.
