These insects will then live in symbiosis with their host from that point on. Because of this, its members are characterised by their use of insects as weapons.

He can’t help himself from noticing as much as he does, however, and he has a hard time not following wherever curiosity takes him.

Then they can’t talk at all, cause of the bug in their mouth![/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] B i o g r a p h y [indent][indent][indent][color=green] As early as Natsuo could remember, he had the belief that life was so full of happenstances and inexplicable phenomenon that other people just took for granted. The youngest and only son of his family, he constantly pestered his older sisters and parents with questions. However his pointed questions often lead to trouble instead of answers. He was confused to find that most of his inquiries and thoughts were very upsetting to others. It seemed he had a knack for offending people, whatever that meant, whenever he opened his mouth. But he didn’t know how he could be so different from his family, or how they could be so different from him. He only knew that it was very easy to upset and annoy them without meaning to. The moods and whims of those around him all seemed rather arbitrary. But he knew things had to make sense somehow. Perhaps there was some kind of code. Something his family had figured out long ago, but he would have to make out for himself - without asking too many questions. Human nature couldn’t just be arbitrary, after all. Natsuo thus developed a strategy of quiet observation. His sisters still got mad at him for doing what they described as ‘creepy staring,’ but this was a far less abrasive reaction than before. He followed his father’s example of a scientist, keeping notes and taking reports on all the goings around his home, his classmates, his town - anything that seemed useful. Occasionally Natsuo’s mother would remark that he seemed awfully quiet, and ask if there was anything he was feeling sad about or if there were difficulties at school. But Natsuo didn’t feel sad or down or even worried - he was fascinated. People revealed so much about themselves without saying anything at all. Perhaps the same could be said of the world! When he did have something burning in his mind, he would discuss it with his Kikaichu. They were were much happier to be tested and observed than humans were. He eventually developed a way for the Kikaichu to share his lightning release and created a bug that could stun and electrocute his opponents. It was an advantage he sorely needed; While Natsuo excelled academically at the ninja academy, direct combat was very challenging for him. It seemed like once he was within striking range of a person, everything went too fast and he’d flinch up and get hit. While the lightning bugs (which he named named 'Raichu') gave him an edge on the battlefield, it was obvious to Natsuo that the best way to keep control on the battlefield was to study his classmates as much as he did his schoolwork. To that end he began taking extensive notes, tracking everything from movement patterns to food preferences. Natsuo’s combat acumen increased and with it so did his confidence. In time Natsuo began to have more fun with his social experiments. He enjoyed trying out new phrases of speech or articles of clothing, surveying his classmates to see what sort of reactions he was getting and how they stacked up to his own notions about them. Sometimes he just felt like wearing a weird hat to see what would happen. While his classmates may have thought he was an odd duck, his strange style of dress and sense of humor was often appreciated and he made quite a few friends at school. By graduation Natsuo had developed a reputation for being a strange, kind, and thoughtful boy who seemed to know exactly what people needed without them saying anything at all.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] N a t u r e s [indent][indent][indent][color=green]Lightning / Earth [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] T a l e n t s [indent][indent][indent][color=green]- Raisin’ Bugs - Askin’ Questions - Makin’ Graphs and Charts.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] J u t s u [indent][indent][indent][color=green]Insect Clone Technique An Aburame has thousands of their kikaichū gather together until they've taken on the size and appearance of the Aburame, to be used either as a decoy or a diversion. The insect clone can be created anywhere that the kikaichū are positioned or sent to, making it more useful for certain tasks than a shadow clone. When the insect clone is struck, it disperses back into a swarm of kikaichū. Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon This unique technique allows the user to accelerate the growth of their insects. As the user's body is already a hive of sorts for the insects, the user will encase themselves 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 insects. However, using this in the midst of a battle can be potentially dangerous as it leaves the user static and vulnerable. As such when this technique is being employed, the user generally finds a safe location or otherwise can be guarded by their teammate. Lightning Release: Thunder Bug Evolution: By feeding his lighting chakra to his kikaichu, Natsuo can evolve them into Raichu, a larger bug with lighting capability. These bugs leave painful electric zaps upon contact and when in swarms, can arc electricity through them. They can be distinguished from kikaichu by their brightly flashing bottoms and much larger size, about three inches long. Lightning Release: Electro Bug Zapper: Once there are enough bugs surrounding a target, Natsuo can trigger them to arc lighting throughout the swarm, causing the opponent to be electrified. The more insects surrounding the target and the closer they are, the stronger the zap. [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] W e a p o n s A n d T o o l s [indent][indent][indent][color=green]Aside from basic ninja tools, Natsuo has Kikaichu and his lightning variant, Raichu. Raichu: These yellow glowing bugs are about three inches long, slightly smaller than Natsuo’s palm. Their size allows them a bit of impact force. Being infused with Lightning chakra, direct contact with a bug results in a electric ‘sting,’ which temporarily numbs the target area and leaves a painful red welt. They can generate their own electricity by flying together, and large groups can cause electricity to arc between them, giving the appearance of lightning in a stormcloud. Kikaichu: Small, flight-capable beetles that feed directly on chakra. Aburame can use kikaichū to latch onto their surroundings, allowing them to perform manoeuvres they otherwise wouldn't be able to. In cases of poisoning, kikaichū can be used to remove the poison from the body. Kikaichū can potentially give the chakra they've taken to allies, replenishing their reserves. Defensively, kikaichū can surround their host as a protective shield or impersonate their host to act as a decoy. They can also kikaichū can spread across an area and emit their host’s chakra, making it difficult for sensors to locate the host. Because individual kikaichū appear no different than any other bug, they can be used to secretly observe a target and, upon returning to their host, communicate what they've learned. Once a kikaichū has locked onto a target's chakra signature, they will continue to follow it for as long as it's within their range. If an Aburame wants to be more discrete in their pursuit, a female kikaichū can be placed on a target; the female will give off a pheromone that males are able to hone in on.

He is near exclusively long-range in his fighting style, being very honest about his inability to take a hit. He delights in poking and bothering his opponents from range and is more likely to subdue or disable an opponent than to aim for a killing blow.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] T h e m e S o n g [indent][indent][indent][color=green]Buggin' - The Flaming Lips [url]https://youtu.be/bjTxUH-QqXY[/url] [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] P l a y e d B y [indent][indent][indent][color=green]Admiral Charmander[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [/indent]
