The Aburame clan is one of the noble clans of the Land of Fire that the Uchiha gathered together to form the basis of their coalition. They are characterized by their use of certain 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 such insects 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 insects shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive of tens of thousands of these insects, and in return the insects do the user's bidding, allowing the Shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion. A major defining trait of the Aburame clan is that all of its known members eyes are obscured usually by glasses, as well as they wear clothing that usually cover up most of their body so as to keep their internal body temperature at a near constant level.

A female insect can be left on a target, which then can be tracked by smell by the male insect, or scout insects 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 insects, and the insects 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.

Classification: Hijutsu
Kekkei Genkai/Hijutsu: Insect Manipulation
Description:
Members of the Aburame Clan are considered expert insect keepers. Trained at a young age in the ways handling their special insects, clan members eventually become a living nest for their charges. This allows them to bond the insects to their chakra and utilize them in various ways as both a means of offense and defense. Unfortunately, these insects are only slightly hardier then normal, and as such a wielder of this technique can in theory burn through a large portion of their nested allies within a short period of time depending on how the battle progresses.
