Rinkaichū

are used by some members of the Aburame clan as part of their Destruction Bug Host Technique which destroys their enemies' cells, causing excruciating pain in the process.

Unlike the standard kikaichū, which are able to act independently of the user, the nano-sized insects can only be transferred on to a victim's body by direct physical contact, though only a mere touch from the user's skin is required as the bugs can circumvent most forms of clothing. However, this apparently does not apply to the user's own clothes, who must instead remove items in order to effectively increase the transferable surface area of the technique. The two known users of these bugs, Torune and Shikuro Aburame, are also the only known Aburame to possess the antibodies for the insects. These insects are considered to be rare, even amongst the Aburame clan.
