Poison

Poison was a tool often used to severely weaken or kill a person. The Scorpion Clan were infamous for using poisons although, much like ninja, there was very rarely any proof.

Historic Uses of Poison
The following were some of the most notable uses of poison throughout history.

Agasha Kitsuki
In 829, Agasha Kitsuki, the founder of the Kitsuki family died after having touched poisoned documents he obtained from Bayushi Shiko.

Akodo Toturi
In 1123, just prior to the Scorpion Coup, the Lion Clan Champion Akodo Toturi was poisoned by the geisha Hatsuko. She had been instructed to do so by Bayushi Kachiko, but only used half the dosage and Toturi survived.

Emperor Hantei XXXIX
The Emperor Hantei XXXIX was continuously poisoned by Hantei Kachiko during the Clan War, in revenge for the fate of Bayushi Shoju and the Scorpion Clan. The Imperial Doctor put the Emperor's declining health down to the plague.
