Clan history: The Aburame clan (油女一族, Aburame Ichizoku) is a clan within Konohagakure characterized by their use of insects as weapons. The insects live in symbiosis within the body of the shinobi. At birth, members of this clan are offered to a special breed of insects called kikaichū as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. The clan members may also carry additional bugs in jars or gourds with them on missions. The insects can leave and enter their host's body through various pores. They feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly. The relationship between the shinobi and the insects is mutually beneficial. The host grants the bugs shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive of tens of thousands of these bugs, and in return the bugs do the user's bidding, allowing the shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion.
A female bug can be left on a target, which then can be tracked by smell by the male bug, or scout bugs can be sent out and return to tell the host information about the area. For this reason, Aburame clan members are experts in espionage; they can communicate with the bugs, and the bugs specialize in stealth because they make no noise or motion during combat. In addition to utilizing insects in battle, the Aburame clan also studies insects. They were rivals of the Kamizuru clan, the bee users, until they defeated them in battle. A major defining trait of the Aburame clan is that all of its known members wear dark sunglasses that hide their eyes as well as wear clothing that covers up most of their body.
Even though their bug-related techniques are known only amongst the clan, a select few possess a special type of bug that is rare even among the clan's members. To date, only Shikuro and Torune are known to possess it.
It has also been shown that they possess the ability to communicate with other bugs and insects.
Clan jutsu:
Name:Destruction Bug Host Technique
Rank:C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: none
Description:The Destruction Bug Host Technique is a practice exclusive to the Aburame clan. When children are born into the clan, their bodies are offered to insects to be used as a nest. Over the years, as the child grows up, they are instructed in the hiden jutsu of the clan, and learn how the insects may serve them in combat. Most Aburame are inhabited by kikaichū, but some members of the clan instead have nano-sized, venomous insects, a rare type of insect even within the Aburame clan.
Name:Human Cocoon Technique
Rank: C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: The user creates a cocoon around themselves most likely to spy or hide from the enemy. The user can also use the cocoon as a "sleeping bag". The cocoon is waterproof.
Name:Insect Clone Technique
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:A secret technique exclusive to the Aburame clan, where thousands of kikaichū are gathered in one place to take on the appearance of the user or anyone else the user wishs. The technique is elaborate enough to be mistaken for the original, and therefore may be used as a decoy or as part of a diversionary tactic. Furthermore, since one can put the insects in standby someplace beforehand and then have them assume the form of the clone, this technique is arguably even more effective than the Shadow Clone Technique, depending on the task. The clone falls apart into its component bugs when struck. Because they're made of bugs, the clones can reform almost instantly.
Name:Insect Jamming Technique
Rank:D
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:The user utilizes a large amount of their Kikaichū and has them spread over a wide area around the user. The bugs then emit a small amount of the their host's respective chakra that they usually feed on. This confuses sensor-type ninjas' chakra-sensing ability, as the insects' irregular distribution and large grouping of the bugs result in the creation of numerous 'false images', making it more difficult to distinguish the user's exact and actual location.
Name:Insect Jar Technique
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:This jutsu uses the Kikaichū bugs living in the user's body as a shield by having them fly in a dome shape at high speed, similar to the Hyūga clan's Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin after the user ends the hand signs. The dome is strong enough to destroy incoming attacks, but can be disrupted with sufficient explosive force.
Name:Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:This unique jutsu is a secret technique that allows the user to increase the speed of insects' development. As the user's body is already a hive of sorts for the insects, the user will encase himself in an actual cocoon to further aid the insects. This is an extremely useful move for Aburame clan members, since their attacks mainly focus on the usage of bugs. However, using this in the midst of a battle can be potentially dangerous as it leaves the user static and vulnerable.
Name:Secret Technique: Insect Gathering
Rank:D
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:By simply touching a surface with their palm and fingers, the user releases a small web of chakra that draws bugs to that location.
Name:Spindle Formation
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:The user has his bugs attack the target in a spiraling motion to confuse the target
Name:Secret Technique: Insect Sphere
Rank: C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:By using the destruction bugs, members of the Aburame clan surround their opponent with thousands of bugs, making a globe of bugs around the opponent beforehand to completely trap them. Once trapped, the bugs would normally drain the chakra and swallow their victim. The bugs covering the victims body prevent movement, but if they escape, the bugs will follow them.
Name:Destruction Bug Hail
Rank:A
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:The user releases thousands of destruction bugs from his body into the air. On his command, the insects attack the opponent in five waves. The insects turn coalesce into a large cloud and rain down on the opponent, killing them.
Name:Destruction Bug Ocean
Rank: A
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:The user manipulates the destruction bugs to form a large airborne cloud that descends on the enemy and beats them on impact.
Name:Destruction Bug Nihon Shock
Rank: A
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:Shino manipulates the destruction bugs to form a giant pillar that collapses into a wave that engulfs the enemy. The bugs then turn into a whirlpool that drag the opponent below ground before spouting out as a pillar that implodes.
