Clan History: During the Fourth Shinobi World War Muzen Hiruko was trapped within the Infinite Tsukuyomi. In his dream the great puppeteer saw visions of a roaming mountain in the sky. A sweet scent called to him with images of silver flowers marking a trail. At the conclusion of the war Muzen left Sunagakeru with his puppets to search for the mountain. He crossed the world looking for the mountain where the silver flowers bloomed. After years of searching he found the scent of the flower, silver as the moon itself with gold in the center. He touched the flower and fed it his chakra. Over several days he gave the flower the last of his chakra. When he did, its petals grew larger and larger as a wind kicked up ripping the flower out of the ground. Muzen and the earth that the flower clutched in its roots, soared into the air, carried through the clouds. He awoke to find himself resting in a field of flowers, each with golden petals and a silver center, the inverse of the flower that brought him to the grove. The mountain was surrounded by clouds stretching out beneath it. Light bathed the isle as it continually chased the sun in its orbit. Hana no Ukishima, the floating isle of flowers, home to the Golden Queen, Muzen had found the original home of bees even more hidden than Ryuchi Cave, or Mount Myoboku. He went to the giant flower that bloomed in the island’s center. Caves led beneath the flower to the core of the island itself, where the Queen made her nest. After collapsing in front of the entrance, massive drones brought him before the queen. They fed him special royal honey thus exposing him to natural chakra. His body broke down torn apart by the density of the chakra. As his body withered he was placed inside a brood pod. Instead of perishing, his body acclimated to the chakra. He was reborn in a new lighter body, one more fragile yet stronger than his last. His wings twitched and his senses enhanced as he felt the air and nest buzzing around him. He was the first Brood Sage. He entered a pact with the Queen and trained to master their unique Senjutsu. He reformed and outfitted his puppets and improved his technique. Over the course of ten years he mastered the Kugutsu and sparred with his companion Ah-cab the dire queen bumblebee gifted to him by the Golden Queen herself. Having mastered Kugutsu, Seijutsu, and Senjutsu, Muzen and Ah-cab returned to the world below, to forge their own nest. Years later Muzen married and passed on his teaching to his children who were born with wings like his. Each of Muzen’s children were paired with a juvenile queen dire bumblebee the size of a puppy to begin their journey. Together with puppet, and pet they grew to be strong shinobi before the instinct to swarm and find their own nests took hold in them, populating the globe in small pockets of the ninja world. Through the centuries their numbers have waxed and waned, but now in this new era the skies hum again with thunderous wingbeats. The swarm has returned.
Kekkei Genkai Description:
Partial Bumblebee anatomy:
Silk/Wax glands: small glands in the dermal layer of skin used in the production of wax and silk.
Wings- All Hiruko clan members are born with wings. These can be used for flight scaling with the user.
E: cosmetic no flight
D: 1 post flight (rest for 1 post)
C: 2 post flight (rest for 2 posts)
B: 3 post flight (rest for 3 posts)
A: 5 post flight (rest for 3 posts)
S: 8 post flight (rest for 5 posts)
While resting, wings are unable to be used for flight.
Altitude cap: The user cannot fly higher than an altitude of 15m from their starting position. To reach a higher altitude the user would have to move to a higher starting position.
Smell- Like bees Hiruko have excellent sense of smell. This counts as a sensory ability of two ranks lower than the user’s ninja rank up to E- rank. Users can detect the faintest of scent trails of anything in a given area. While in an area a Hiruko can smell anything that is currently within smell range. However objects only leave behind a scent trail if they were in an area for a minute or longer. The ability ranges are as follows.
D: 2m
C: 4m
B: 8m
A: 16m
S: 32m
Nest:
Each Hiruko creates his or her own nest with the aid of their Seijutsu queen dire bumblebee companion. The nest is carried around on the ninja’s person. Nests vary in appearance. The nest is used for storing larvae, nectar, and pollen. As the ninja and companion level together, more bumble bees are added to the nest. Bees are used to complete tasks such as reconnaissance, gathering materials (nectar and pollen), scouting and defense of the nest. Dire Bumblebees stingers aren’t barbed so they don’t die after stinging; however the act of attacking requires a lot of energy so workers will only attack twice in a thread (two attacks per worker). Workers sting for physical damage causing cuts of up to ¼ inch into the skin. Defending the nest requires a cooldown of two posts. After the second defense, workers go back inside the nest to rest for the duration of the thread. While in the nest they continue to perform housekeeping functions like honey and brood production; attacking will not occur until a new thread. Defense of the nest only occurs when enemies are detected within a range of 1 meter of the nest where provocation can occur. Workers only defend if provoked to do so. Provocation happens when a threat has been registered via a Taijutsu or Bukijutsu attack on the user. After the initial provocation, defense will occur whenever it is off cooldown. Provocation and defense cannot occur in the same post. After provocation has been activated defense of the nest will activate whenever an enemy enters attack range of 1 meter. Ranged attacks don’t cause this to trigger. Additionally puppets and other non-living objects do not cause this ability to trigger. Defense of the nest uses one chakra per bee per attack. (Example: a Taijutsu strike hits the user. Provocation has been activated. Enemy attempts another attack in a new post. Workers defend the nest aiming stings at the eyes before returning to the nest. In this instance 2 chakra has been used by the ninja. Defense of the nest is an involuntary response and as such will happen automatically. If the user lacks the chakra required to use the full jutsu, a number of bees equal to the remaining chakra pool will attack.)
Number of workers per rank
D: 2 workers
C: 4 workers
B: 6 workers
A: 8 workers
S: 10 workers
Workers can only be gained through training posts. The cost of each worker is 20 chakra each and 200 words. Up to two workers can be created per training post. Any time a worker dies, it must be replaced. Hiruko cannot advance to the next ninja rank without a full nest.
Hiruko start with either a free E rank puppet or E rank Seijutsu companion upon graduation at the academy. This is determined by primary specialization. The secondary specialization requires purchase of pets or puppets in the standard fashion.
Drawbacks:
Weakness to fire: Just as bees are weakened by smoke, Hiruko are weak to fire and take +1 damage from any fire or smoke based attacks.
Weakness to smoke: Smoke bombs also cause a -1 reaction time while standing within smoke clouds. Smoke caused by any source will have this effect. If a Hiruko stays within a smoking area for too long, then they pass out (if smoke is inhaled for 1 minute, then the Hiruko passes out).
Frail- Hiruko must take the frail trait.
Specializations- Taijutsu and Bukijutsu cannot be taken as specializations. If a third specialization is taken it must be Senjutsu.
Genjutsu and other abilities targeting smell get +1 strength making the user more susceptible.
Nest bees- only the Queen Dire Bumblebee (QDB) is a larger species normally. As such all workers in the nest are only the size of regular bumblebees 2in. long, and have the strength of regular bees.
Hive mind- if the ninja is caught in a genjutsu or is sealed away, then QDB takes -1 to reflexes.
Members must have maxed out nest worker capacity before being allowed to advance in rank.
D: 2 C: 4 B: 6 A: 8 S: 10 (Worker count).

Range: N/A
Specialty: Clan KKG
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: six posts
Description: Workers from the nest produce a wax vial of honey. The vial of honey is capable of healing a random injury if ingested by the user. If applied directly to a wound, that specific wound is healed by a certain amount. The honey utilizes natural sterilizing and antioxidant properties to fight infection. When eaten by anyone outside of the Hiruko clan, no healing is done (still tastes good though!). Strength of the jutsu is directly linked to the number of workers. If all workers are dead, then this ability is unavailable. Chakra cost is 2 per worker up to 20 Chakra.
Worker count:
2- One wound of up to ½ inches healed, or light bruising healed
4- Two ½ in wounds healed or one 1 inch wound, or moderate bruising healed
6- One 1 inch wound healed, 1 ¼ inch wound healed, or heavy bruising healed
8- One 2 inch wound healed, heals fractured bone
10- Heals light internal bleeding, heals broken bone
Name: Heart of the Swarm
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Element: Fuuton
Range: 40m
Specialty: Clan KKG, Senjutsu, Kugutsu, Seijutsu
Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: Once Per Thread
Description: Requires Senjutsu: Creates a massive 45m tall dome hive of wax and silk trapping the target inside with the caster. Puppets controlled by the caster, while within the hive, have speed increased by 1 stage (example: s-1 s-2) and trail silk threads from their extremities, tangling targets in an attempt to pin them down. Defense of the Nest activates coming off of cooldown while ignoring the provocation rule and increasing the size of the workers to two feet (from their two inch start). Workers will stay within 5 meters of the caster and attack enemies that stray too close. The QDB doubles in size and releases a swarm of puppy size dire worker bees to attack all targets within the hive. Workers will attack with stings that cause 2 in cuts, and attempt to subdue enemies by pinning them down in wax and silk immobilizing them. Captured units are wrapped inside brood pods hanging upside down from the ceiling. Workers then form cells around the brood pods and fill them with honey. Unless a cancel order is given by the caster of the jutsu the honey solidifies suffocating victims. When the jutsu is cancelled bees summoned by the QDB return to a larval state and begin making brood pods for them to pupate in. When they hatch in three days they will emerge as queens to find their own place in the world. This jutsu can only be activated while in sage mode and requires 40 chakra to cast with a maintenance cost of 20 chakra per post. After casting this jutsu the user hibernates for the duration of the thread. During this time the QDB is unable to move more than 1m from the caster and is unable to use jutsu.
