Corpse Eating Sacrifice

Corpse Eating Sacrifice is a technique created by Akurei Ohaka. Created to compensate for his natural lack of Kekkei Genkai he is called the 'Grave Eater' because of this jutsu.

The user first hollows out a portion of their body, creating an extra mouth in the middle of their stomach. This mouth is often sealed with wire and is designed to eat corpses the user encounters. By releasing three large tongues, the user devours the body of the dead. This technique absorbs of the DNA of the deceased and transfers all abilities and memories to the user. The user is capable of shapeshifting a swell by changing his DNA to match that of the dead. The result allows the user incredible stealth skills, and incredible power.

A side effect is that the devoured corpses also increase the lifespan of the user by a year for every body devoured, giving him an unusually long lifespan.

Weaknesses
Though this technique is powerful, it is equally flawed. When a body is first devoured it takes one hour to dissolve. During that one hour the user cannot use this technique again and can only use half of his chakra reserves. The brain of the deceased must also be intact for this ability to drain the memories, otherwise it merely takes the abilities.

Also, the user cannot use the abilities of the deceased in his regular form. Rather he must transform into the deceased to access his/her memoires and jutsu. There is also a period of ten seconds the user must take in order to fully transform between forms.

Finally, when in the form of another ninja, the user cannot use this jutsu without first returning to his natural body.
