Akami Yuhi

Yamauchi Akami is Deathwish022698's OC. She is a medical-nin from Konohagakure.

Background
As a child, Akami is relatively cheerful, until her parents' untimely death due to an accident which involves fire. She sought comfort in her beloved older sisters Yomi and Amaya. They lived with Sunako, their old and wise maternal grandmother who was named after her village, Sunagakure.

Due to her timid nature she is bullied by most of her playmates and needs to be defended by her older sister Yomi. She served as an inspiration for Akami.

Personality
During her mother's pregnancy, she participated in experiments by unknown medical ninjas which happens to come from Otogakure. This caused some adverse effects on her behaviour. Akami is lonesome and quiet, but she does get along with other people, such as Gaara, whom she adores, and Naruto. She is timid and self-concious. She needs to learn self-control though.

She has an extreme fear of fire due to what happened to her parents and she never overcame her fear. As a result, when pitted against a person with Fire-natured chakra, such as Sasuke, she is bound to either lose or run away.

In Part I, she can be over emotional. She waseven called "crybaby" by Temari on a brief encounter. This trait slowly diminished until Part II. There, she is more in control of her emotions.

In Part II, she has grown more mature. She speaks in a mature and polite manner, though when verbally assaulted, she can stand her ground.

Also, she developed an interest on Gaara and eventually fell in love with him. She doesn't know, however, if he shares the same feelings because she feels his guard is always up.



Appearance
Akami has red eyes. Due to the experiments performed on her mother during her pregnancy, her hair has red streaks on her black hair. She is as tall as an average kunoichi her age. She has porcelain skin just like the rest of the clan has.

When she was younger she wore a black v-neck shirt with red accents and tight white shorts. She wears grey sandals.

In Part I she had her hair in a pony tail and she wears a black sweater with red accents that reveals her tummy. She wears a black "skirt" over white shorts and wears grey sandals. She uses kunais as weapons. Though unseen in the picture, she wears her forehead protector around her waist, like a belt.

In Part II, she blossomed into a young woman. Her breast size noticeably increased, and her waist was smaller. She let her hair flow down. She wears a black sweater with a hoodie over a fishnet shirt. She still wears a "skirt" but this time it is over black shorts. She wears black low-heeled sandals. Akami, though unsen on the picture, still wears her forehead protector around her waist. Her weapon of choice is a giant shuriken, a present from Gaara.

Abilities
Akami, like the other people in her clan, has heightened chakra sensitivity. This allows her to find out where enemies are, as well as locate missing teammates. Aside from her Kekkai Genkai, she can transfer chakra through bodily fluids, such as blood and saliva. Despite this, she is considered to be physically weak, and her constitution is pretty bad. Despite this, her agility makes up for it.

Dark Release
Akami and everyone else on the Yamauchi clan has it. She can use it to draw chakra from other people, and give chakra to teammates.

Part I
Akami is only seen in the Chunin exam Arc. She was still a girl of tender age during those times, about eleven years old. She's still in the Academy, and her grades is below the average.

Chunin Exam Arc
In Part I, Akami is shown only in this arc. Akami was still in the academy so she cannot participate in the exams She is accompanying her older sister Amaya in entering the exams. There she came across Gaara and his siblings when she stumbled down while running towards door to meet her sister. Temari laughed, embarassing her. Gaara stared at her as she collected herself, her back turned towards them. Gaara's eye's widened and Temari laughed even louder as they saw her shorts ripped. This embarrased her more and made her cry. She ran away like a child with tantrums, laughed at by other people. Ino and Hinata, concerned about the poor child, helped her find her older sister. Then they found Yomi, Akami's eldest sister, waiting in the Ramen Ichiraku. The two hands over Akami to Yomi, and leaves. The day ends with Akami in Yomi's arms, calmed. She looks back at the Sand Siblings and Temari lets out a chuckle, murmuring, "Poor kid."

After the Chunin Exam Arc, Akami is no where in sight. She studied abroad along with her sisters. It is proposed that due to the embarassing encounter, she dealt with humiliation and understood that life isn't always fair.

Part II
Akami made her comeback in Part II. She is now a talented young woman, very different from where she started. She mastered how to use her Kekkai Genkai in a useful way, learned how to cook and how to play a flute.

Rescue Kazekage Arc
Akami is seen in the Rescue Kazekage Arc. She served as one of medical-nins during the mission. During her stay in Sunagakure, she met Temari again, recalling all she did during her younger years. A temporary rivalry sparked between the two, but it died out when they realized that they should not be fighting, instead, they should be rescuing Gaara. Days after Chiyo sacrifices her life for Gaara, Akami was assigned by Temari to watch over him while he recovers. She told the good news to Ino and Hinata, two of her closest friends. Ino joked around saying she should give him "tender loving care", with an emphasis on the word love. Hinata wished her the best of luck, and Akami bade them goodbye.

For two weeks, Akami watched over Gaara, and assisted him despite he can do the thing himself. She would cook for him on some occasions, and, much to Gaara's discomfort, hands him a towel after he finished bathing. in the two weeks they were together, Akami grew close to Gaara. This closeness though, sparked a rivalry between Akami, Matsuri and Sari. Despite the two being more in touch with Gaara, Akami seems to have the advantage.

Shinobi World War Arc
In these events Akami went back to Konohagakure to aid her former teammates and her sisters. Before she left Sunagakure, however, Gaara gave her a giant shuriken as a present. Akami bade him goodbye, trying to suppress her emotions. She turned around however, and embraced him tight, crying, thanking him for all the memories he shared with her. From a distance, she shouted I love you, and turned away.

It is unknown what happened to Akami during the war. But one thing's for sure, she stood her ground.
