Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm making this guide to make insect breeding a more viable asset and perk of being an Aburame. As it stands the soft caps on an Aburame's max insects they can hold and they're slow regeneration rate of 500 insects per posts make their early rp one of the weakest by comparison, while they're later clan techniques can labeled one of the strongest they also require the corresponding insects to be breed seeing as it just doesn't make sense that suddenly after some training the Kikaichū freely shift their breed to compensate the technique. The guide is intended to add a greater level of depth for the Aburame. Ranks have been put in place to prevent the breeding of insects too strong for a typical Genin to maintain.

Aburame Breeds and Breeding Guide:
The Max Amount of Multiple Breeds a Host can carry per encounter is 4 excluding Shōkaichū: These four 4 breeds can then be swapped out in the 'down time'. Hijutsu: Mushimayu [ Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon ] can be used to swap out breeds however, like in it's description this is incredibly risky to do in the midst of combat.

Insect Breeds

E-Rank Breed►Kikaichū:
The Typical Destruction Bug and Most Common Breed. The typically resemble beetles. They are capable of producing silk and have wings.

Breeding Requirements:
Kikaichū are inherent. They can breed within the host with little difficulty with little need for specifications. They are the universal insect for mating to produce breeds of Insect that take refuge in the host's body.

E-Rank Breed►Kumokaichū:
Kumotake has replaced his Kikaichū with one's that are visually representative of spiders with wings. Aside from this their function is the same as a Kikaichu

Breeding Requirements:
To attain this breed one must breed their Kikaichū with a variety of spiders. The offspring of the two can then be breed with already existing Kikaichū for necessary population dominance.

E-Ranked Insect►Shōkaichū:
These Maggot like insects are produced solely for the purpose of burrowing and sensing. The insects burrow beneath ground and report chakra signatures to the host. They are small and numerous. Often Kikaichū that have yet to fully develop and are tasked with this duty are labeled Shōkaichū.

Breeding Requirements:
Simply halting the development process of currently birthing Kikaichū within the user's body will yield Shōkaichū. There is no complex process involved however, teaching them to sense Chakra is sometimes akin to trying to teach a toddler.

C-Ranked Insect►Bikōchū:
A rare type of insect that is also difficult to breed due to it's scarcity. Formerly used by the Aburame but with it's breeding requirements were too difficult to maintain due to its specific birthing condition where the egg only hatches after a heavy rain and there being only one egg per mating session. A Bikōchū when born attains a scent of an individual or object this scent is then encoded in it's DNA and the Bikōchū can track it's location almost indefinitely. Their breeding requirements make it difficult for a Bikōchū to breed in the host.

Breeding Requirements:
Bikōchū are rare but as per the Aburame's history have been scattered across the world's forests to survive on their own. In order to breed a Bikōchū one must find a Bikōchū. The host needs to roll a twenty sided dice in a densely forested area 15-20 Implies finding the female Bikōchū. Once a Bikōchū has been found it can then be bred. A Bikōchū however, can only breed and lay eggs during a heavy rain in a forest and will only yield one egg. Kikaichū cannot produce Bikōchū offspring. At the end of the heavy Rain a Bikōchū is born and the first person or object that has a scent that the Bikōchū hatches on will be remembered within the Bikōchū through it's entire lengthy life span. This allows the user of the Bikōchū to almost indefinitely find and locate the first scent the Bikōchū picked up for several years. This breed is often times considered more work than it's worth.

A-Ranked Insect►Bakuretsuchū:
Kikaichū that are again bred with their Dna being manipulated by Chakra to enforce a mutation. Bakuretsuchū much like their descendants require chakra to survive however too much chakra and their bodies begin to grow. Unlike Kidaichū, Bakuretsuchū aren't designed to handle excessive growth and large amounts of Chakra being fed to them. This results in the insect growing and ultimately exploding. When inside a target a Bakuretsuchū will naturally only feed on the Chakra it is accustom however when the infected uses too much Chakra it also transfers to the Bakuretsuchū often leading to it's detonation and the death of the infected. A Bakuretsuchū can be detonated by providing it with B ranked or higher chakra. Bakuretsuchū are required to be bred for the following skills
~Bakuretsuchū [ Exploding Insect Technique ]

Breeding Requirements:
In order for a Kikaichū that is bred to produce Bakuretsuchū it must have come in contact with Bakuton Chakra at least once and survived. The insect can then pass down this trait to it's kin. It is the kin which is then put under a series of chakra feeding tests to determine the levels of which they respond to determine what Chakra level they burst.

A-Ranked Insect►Kidaichū:
Breeding of the insect is simple enough. Kidaichū are merely Kikaichū bred with larger insects contributing to their DNA and then administering irregular amounts of Chakra forcing a mutation to develop. Kidaichū can grow to roughly twice the size of an average human but initially are the size of a typical Kikaichū by moderating how much Chakra is fed to the Kidaichū their small size is maintained. However, if an individual who is not a host becomes prey to a Kidaichū as in, it enters their body, their clear lack of knowledge in regards to the Kidaichū's chakra regulation is broken and they grow to this size in the host almost if not always leading to death. A Kidaichū can be forced to grow on command by feeding it an irregular amount of chakra after its been dispatched. Breeding of this insect is required for
~Kidaichū Mushikui [ Parasitic Giant Insect Bug Bite ]

Breeding Requirements:
Kidaichū are difficult to handle and with improper use can cause complete devastation to a village and it's inhabitants. As such the capability to maintain this responsibility is given only to those who have attained the Title of Chunnin. Kidaichū breeding is simple enough. The Aburame breeds their Kikaichū with large insects. Typically hercules beetles etc. When the gene that determines size begins to show itself in a Kikaichū it can then be fed Chakra and put under several stress tests to find the ideal amount of Chakra required. Once the first Kidaichū's limits are discovered it can then freely be bred.

S-Ranked Insect►Rinkaichū:
Are a poisonous nano insect it's breeding is often scarce due to the incredible amount of chakra needed to maintain them preventing them from devouring their host and maintain their cellular destruction ratios. Rather than sustain solely on chakra the Rinkaichū invade their target as if a virus eating away at their living tissue until there is nothing left. In which case the insects die with the infected. Spreading of the Rinkaichū is only possible with physical contact via skin from the host. The Rinkaichū however, do not need to touch the targets skin. Breeding of this insect is required to learn.
~Kodoku no Jutsu [ Jar of Poison Technique ]
~Dokujin no Jutsu [ Poison Cloud Technique ]
~Aburame Clan Nano-Scale Poisonous Insects

Breeding Requirements:
Rinkaichū are the Aburame's forbidden insect. Consultation with an Aburame Clan head is required before even an attempt at breeding this insect can occur. At minimal the individual has to be Chunnin in Title for the responsibility but often such an insect is reserved for Jounin and even Konin. Upon receiving the okay the Aburame is provided with the few Rinkaichū in the clans possession. They must then first slowly feed their Kikaichū or any other breed within them Rinkaichū so they may develop an immunity to their poison if they wish for the two insects to work in unison with each other. Otherwise the Rinkaichū will consume all four breed slots of the host. The user then must slowly develop tolerance of the insects incredibly voracious way by applying small patches of them on his skin or her skin. Once they can balance the required chakra and rate of cellular destruction can they finally freely breed them with other insects.
