The Curse of the Wallowing Virtue (貪る禿鷲の呪い, Musaboru Hagewashi no Noroi), otherwise often regarded as Dark Release, is a genetic mutation which appears within a select few individuals sporadically across the entirety of the world. The only known wielder of this particular curse is Mukūrō, an extremely dangerous individual who currently supervises the Hōzuki Castle.
Description[]
The Curse of the Wallowing Vulture is a peculiar genetic mutation that is assumed to have appeared due to the Rabbit Goddess' own diluted chakra corrupting the environment and eventually making its way into unwilling inhabitants. Upon manifesting within a particular individual, the symptoms are made evident from conception, in fact. Most births of individuals who possess the mutation are known to be born — surprisingly healthy — but prematurely, as a consequence of taking both the mother's nutrients and her chakra, the latter being absorbed at an almost fatal rate. Even with such absorption, the victims of this curse are sickly and in constant need of nourishment.They are noted for their pale skin, with ghost-like features that would make one question the origins of these individuals.
In terms of what the curse actually performs, the answer is remarkably obvious to any onlooker for a short period of time. The curse causes the user to absorb chakra from within a certain radius passively. This particular absorption of chakra actually plays importance in the nourishment for the user. Without a plentiful supply, the user is extremely lethargic and their bodily constitution is remarkably weak, leaving them as helpless as a young child even if they had pronounced combat skills. The speed of this absorption depends on the nature of the user's intentions. While the user may choose not to interfere with the rate of absorption, thus leave it relatively slow, they may also decide to accelerate it through bodily movement, for example. The potency of this chakra absorption, however, is enough to disable most ordinarily formed techniques instantaneously, breaking them down into raw chakra with minimal effort. Moreover, the curse also induces an enhanced metabolic-esque function within the user's body, thus enabling them to convert the foreign, absorbed, chakra into usable chakra for the user.
Later, it would be found that Mukūrō can successfully absorb alternate energy sources such as Natural Energy and Dragon Energy, specifically because his physiology enables him to successfully use all forms of energy for bodily functions, including those relevant to combat. However, excesses of Natural Energy still hold the same stone-turning side-effects, though the quantity he can absorb enables him to successfully enhance his combat presence.
Trivia[]
- While technically a renamed variation of the Dark Release Kekkei Genkai, the user opted to make it listed as a Jutsu for convenience purposes.
