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.

Click For Quick-Spoilers: Shodai's genetic abilties were passed on to Yamato. Yamato was the only survivor of Orochimaru's horrific genetic experiments. Out of the 60 children, only Yamato survived. As he grew he gained Shodai's abilty to use both Mokuton and control Bijuu. None of Shodai's genetic descendants have shown the ability to use Mokuton and control the Bijuu.

Sandaime Kazekage had the ability to change his body's chakra into magnetic fields. Seeing a previous Shukaku host manipulate sand, Kazekage surmised he could do something similar with tiny pieces of iron. He used this ability to develop "Satetsu" or Iron Sand. He could control this sand in any fashion he wished through the magnetic field. This allowed him to form weapons whenever he needed. This jutsu came to be known as Suna's deadliest, and granted him the honor of being called the greatest Kazekage.
Click For Quick-Spoilers: Kazekage disappeared from his village after falling in battle to Akatsuki member Sasori. When Sasori reemerged years later to capture Gaara, he revealed his favorite puppet, Sandaime Kazekage. Sandaime had been made into a puppet using Sasori's "Hitokugutsu" method.

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.

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.
