| Darui [Unique Genetic Elemental Ability] |
 |
Hidden Village: Cloud Village
Member Appearances: Darui
Signature Abilities: Ranton Creation
|
 |
Cloud Jounin Darui has the ability to create Ranton, or Storm Element. Because combining chakra types requires a Bijuu or a bloodline ability, Darui probably hails from a clan who has this ability.

| Deidara [Secret Jutsu / Unique Body] |
 |
Hidden Village: Rock Village
Member Appearances: Deidara
Signature Abilities: Clay Manipulation
|
 |
Akatsuki member Deidara is an artist at heart, and he uses his modeling clay to fashion animals which help him in combat. Deidara possesses two mouths on the palm of each hand. Deidara's unique palm mouths may just be a Hijutsu unique to him, similar to Kidoumaru's multi-armed spider traits. Withdrawing a bit of clay from his pouch, one of the mouths can consume the clay, imbue it with his explosive chakra and fashion it into a creature. Deidara will retain control over the item and can decide what actions the clay art will take. Deidara also uses clay in a unique exploding bunshin jutsu.

Hidden Village: Mist Village
Member Appearances: Hoozuki Suigetsu
Signature Abilities: Hydration Jutsu
|
 |
Hoozuki Suigetsu was a ninja from Hidden Mist who one day dreamed of becoming a Mist Seven Swordsman member. He mastered a jutsu which allowed him to convert all his body matter to liquid water. In this state Suigetsu would not take direct damage, except when affected by Raiton jutsu.
As a side-effect of the jutsu, he needed to keep constantly hydrated by drinking water. In this form he could also change his body mass to increase his muscle size. He could also gather surrounding water to expand the liquid under his direct control. This jutsu fundamentally altered Suigetsu's body, causing him to take on a humanoid liquid form when unconscious. It is unknown if Suigetsu's brother Mangetsu could also use this jutsu.

Member Appearances: Kidoumaru
Signature Abilities: Spider Traits
|
 |
One of the Four Sounds, Kidoumaru has the ability to emit strong golden spider thread from his mouth and skin pores. Kidoumaru also has four extra arms which do not appear to be the work of a cast jutsu, as they still remain after he is unconscious. The second manga Databook states his techniques are secret techniques, rather than a bloodline ability.

Hidden Village: Leaf Village
Member Appearances: Rock Lee
Signature Abilities: Chakra Gate Openings
|
 |
Unable to use Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, Rock Lee pushed his physical limits to further his Taijutsu ability. Lee constantly strove to show that hard work could exceed the abilities of those with a bloodline genius ability. After making it to the preliminaries of the third round of the Chuunin Exam, Lee chose to open his Chakra Gates to beat his opponent at any cost. This forbidden technique pushes a body beyond its limits. Upon seeing this in action, Hatake Kakashi surmised that Lee might really hold a genius ability, as Lee was going beyond the limits of what hard work could grant a ninja.
Click For Quick-Spoilers: By pushing himself beyond his limits Lee strained and injured his body. The actions of his opponent Gaara only served to damage Lee's body even more. Lee was told he could no longer be a ninja due to the extent of the damage, but the medical attention of Tsunade repaired his injuries. It is unknown if Lee will further use this technique.

Zetsu resembles a venus fly trap and his central self is divided into dark and light halves. Each half apparently retains a unique personality of its own and speaks with its own style. Zetsu also utilizes a range finding ability with his eyes which resembles the Byakugan.
Click For Quick-Spoilers: Zetsu's unique abilties may just be a Hijutsu unique to him, similar to Kidoumaru's multi-armed spider traits. Zetsu also has been seen to consume the dead. It is unknown if this act has any other purpose than getting rid of Akatsuki's presence.
