Changes: Insect Clone Technique

Revision as of 00:06, 29 April 2019

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.^[1] When the insect clone is struck, it disperses back into a swarm of kikaichū.^[2] In the anime, the insect clones take a solid enough form to coordinate with the user for joint attacks.^[3]

-A secret technique exclusive to the [[Aburame clan]], where thousands of [[kikaichū]] are gathered in one place to take on the appearance of the user or anyone else the user wishes. The technique is elaborate enough to be mistaken for the original, and therefore may be used as a decoy or as part of a diversionary tactic. Furthermore, since one can put the insects in standby somewhere beforehand and then have them assume the form of the clone, this technique is arguably even more effective than the [[Shadow Clone Technique]], depending on the task. When struck, the clone falls apart into its component, bugs. It can be risky for the foe to go into close combat with an insect clone since the kikaichū can drain their chakra on contact. Also, because it's made of bugs, it can reform almost instantly.
