When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

The Aburame Clan is characterized by their use of insects as weapons. Specifically named 'Destruction Bugs', these 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, upon command on the user. Finally, they feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly.[break][break]
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. As a bonus, 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.[break][break]
In addition to utilizing insects in battle, the Aburame clan also studies insects. Because of this, they are rivals of the Kamizuru clan, the bee users. 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. finally, all Aburame clan members possess the ability to communicate with other bugs and insects.[break][break]

III. RAVENOUS - Despite constantly feeding on their host's chakra when they are inactive for any period of time, the insects within the Aburame are never sated. In fact, it seems that the more potent the Aburame becomes, the more dire their insects' hunger becomes. The few Aburame who achieve this level of mastery over their companions have increased their draining capabilities, adding an additional increment of one High to all draining effects (essentially capping the user's Kikaichuu no Jutsu at 2x High drained per turn).[break][break]

Kudaichuu Mushikui (Parasitic Giant Insect Bug Bite)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: High per insect.[break] One of the more vicious and lethal Aburame techniques, the clan member will place a number of kidaichū onto the skin of an enemy. These insects immediately burrow into the victim's body and begin to devour its flesh and chakra at an alarming rate, sending waves of excruciating pain throughout the victim's body. This process causes the insects to grow rapidly in size, until the host body is completely eaten away from the inside out. The insects will then revert to their original size and retreat to their primary host body.[break][break]
Note: This technique requires direct physical contact between the user and victim, using whatever appendage the intended insects dwell upon. These bugs have a dormant phase equivalent to one turn after they have been inserted into the victim, at which time they can be killed by a "overloading" their systems via a surge of chakra equivalent to x2 high per insect.[break][break]
Failure to eliminate these bugs during their dormant phase will result in the bugs growing incredibly large as they begin to devour the user's chakra and flesh. The pain is absolutely excruciating. Destroying the insects at this point - two posts after insertion - is quite difficult, requiring a surge of chakra equivalent to x3 high per insect.[break][break]
By the third post, the bugs have reached their maximum size - roughly the size of a fully matured man's torso - and have likely devoured the majority of their target. Death is painful, but certain. It should be noted that this scaling and timing is based on humanoid sizes; inserting them into something such as a summon will require indefinitely longer periods of time. if unhinder by any armor this technique can break through level 8 defense, if there's armor or some sort of protectant it'll take an additional post to complete this technique fully.[break][break]

They spread 25% throughout the body during each post, with 100% being the highest, killing the victim. If the user touches the infected location, they can reverse the effects of the technique. Once this change happens, it is impossible to turn back.[break][break]
Note: Ningen Mayu is required to use this technique. Knowledge of this technique is extremely rare, and thusly a user must perform a special s-rank quested in order to obtain it.[break][break]
