Clan Name: Aburame
Location: Konohagakure
Specialization: Ninjutsu
Elements: n/a
Type: Restricted
Clan History: Regarded for centuries as one of the Four Noble Clans of Konohagakure, the Aburame are among the very oldest shinobi clans in Konohagakure. Originally an ally of the Senju during the Warring States Period, the Aburame have been respected and feared for centuries by friend and foe alike and were founding members of the shinobi clan alliance that would eventually become the Hidden Leaf Village. Since that time the Aburame have enjoyed a steady position at the highest levels of shinobi society and have regularly produced outstanding shinobi, never ceasing to fortify their reputation as one of the most capable and fearsome shinobi clans in any nation.
Despite their high status as pseudo-nobility amongst shinobi clans in Konohagakure, the Aburame are without a doubt the most reserved and low-profile of all remaining founding clans. As per tradition the clan rejects opulence, despite being quite wealthy, and most members are quite introverted, preferring the company of the insects they keep and study to humans when not on assignment. For this reason, despite their status, there has historically been a lack of larger than life, legendary Aburame figures in the shinobi world. Those who have experienced the power of the Aburame’s hiden jutsu in action, however, will never question their worthiness of their status.

Kekkei Genkai Name: Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique
Kekkei Genkai Description: Shortly after an Aburame's birth the clan offers the child's body to a specially bred insect species to use as a nest. One this process is complete, the Aburame and its insects enter a symbiotic relationship, typically until the death of the host, in which the insects are allowed to nest inside the clansman's body and feed off of their chakra in exchange for the ability to command and control the bugs with impunity by releasing them through their pores and various other openings on the clansmen's bodies. This symbiosis is the foundation of the Aburame's hiden techniques and shinobi abilities that have been passed down for centuries. Due to the Aburame Clan's affinity for insects they are also seemingly capable of communicating with all insects, not simply their breeds. For undisclosed reasons, all members of the clan seem compelled to keep most of their body, especially their eyes, covered at all times.
- Kikaichū:
- The kikaichū are extremely small, beetle-like insects which are bred and utilized exclusively by the Aburame Clan, serving as the primary vehicle for their hiden and the basis of their Parasitic Destruction Technique. Due to chakra being the kikaichū's food source, this insect species possesses the rare ability to consume and drain chakra from other living things. This amount can equal to a maximum of 1.5x the activation for a single hit or an amount equal to the maintenance cost per hit for a technique of the techniques rank. In addition, the kikaichū are capable of flight and are completely silent in combat, making them, as well as their hosts, well suited for stealth and espionage.
The females of the species produce a distinct scent that other kikaichū can track with ease, making them a useful tool for tracking by attaching them to a target. Due to the Aburame Clan's ability to communicate with insects, this also enables them to send out kikaichū as scouts to survey and report on surrounding areas. While useful, given the fact that the lifespan of a single kikaichū is only a few hours, this is not an effective method of extremely long distance or duration tracking or scouting assignments. In general, small, non-combative applications of the kikaichū such as these do not reduce an Aburame's total hive population as the rate of reproduction exceeds the rate of use.
Due to the Aburame Clan's symbiotic relationship with the kikaichū, allowing the insects to use not only their bodies as hives, but also their natural chakra reserves as nourishment, as an Aburame's chakra strength and quantity increases so does the number of kikaichū that they can sustain as a hive. This growth increases the number of insects present in their bodies at the beginning of each topic as their rank increases.
Hive Population By Rank:- D-Rank: 50,000
- C-Rank: 75,000
- B-Rank: 100,000
- A-Rank: 125,000
- S-Rank: 150,000
- SS-Rank: 175,000
As the primary vehicle for utilizing the Aburame Clan's Parasitic Destruction Insect hiden the kikaichū present in an Aburame's body are treated as a resource and consumed in order to execute techniques. The user must have at least an equal amount of kikaichū nesting in their body to the cost of any kikaichū-based technique in order to execute the jutsu. Due to constantly reproducing using an Aburame's chakra, the Aburame recovers 20% of their maximum hive population at the beginning of every post, before any actions occur, this % can be doubled once each turn at the cost of 10 chakra. The total number of kikaichū in an Aburame's body may not exceed the hive population total through this reproduction method. The costs per rank of kikaichū-based techniques are as follows:
Technique Insect Consumption By Rank:- E-Rank: 5000
- D-Rank: 10,000
- C-Rank: 15,000
- B-Rank: 20,000
- A-Rank: 25,000
- S-Rank: 50,000
- SS-Rank: 100,000
Due to the fact that kikaichū based techniques require and manifest from a sufficiently large swarm, the caster is not treated as the epicenter for these jutsu. All kikaichū, therefore, have a range of "Self" on applications. When clashing with foreign jutsu, those techniques kill off the same amount of kikaichū as an equivalent Aburame hiden technique would cost at that rank. Although, Katon based jutsu of B-Rank and above will kill all insects in their range unless being intercepted by a jutsu (including Aburame hiden) with enough power to block them. - D-Rank: 50,000
Due to the symbiotic relationship with the kikaichū, all Aburame clan members are required to take the following Positive Special characteristic:
- Symbiont:
- Due to the constant disruption, consumption, and replenishment of the chakra flowing through an Aburame's body as a result of the kikaichūs' constant need to feed and reproduce, it is virtually impossible to manipulate any single flow of chakra in their body from the outside for longer than a brief moment. As a result, while they are subject to genjutsu triggers and are susceptible to the initial casting of an illusion, the influence of the kikaichū acts as an automatic kai almost immediately, causing them to cease at the end of the same post the Aburame was afflicted with them. In addition, the insects themselves are effectively immune to genjutsu as a whole due to having mental faculties which operate at too basic a level to be influenced by advanced chakra manipulation, making the Aburame Clan famed for being highly problematic for genjutsu practitioners as a whole.
Drawbacks: The unique and fearsome abilities of the kikaichū and other various insect types kept and utilized by the Aburame are not without their drawbacks. The most significant of which is the fact that in order to fulfill the symbiotic relationship between the Aburame and their insects, the shinobi offers up their body to serve as a hive for their diminutive partners and allows the insects to feed on their natural chakra reserves for nourishment. Although the insects are careful as to not consume so much chakra that they injure or kill their host, and consequently themselves, they do significantly diminish the Aburame's chakra reserves. As a result, an Aburame's chakra reserves begin at 50 chakra and increase by +10 each rank., nor may they gain any elemental chakra natures. In addition, while chakra reserves normally increase as shinobi grow in rank and power, for Aburame this increase in chakra reserves instead results in their insects having greater access to nourishment and become more plentiful in number. As such, should an Aburame gain chakra by any means, it is their dormant total of insects housed in their body that increases, rather than their chakra pool. At a rate of 2500 bugs per every 10 chakra.
