Ah... my great great grandfather was an Inuzuka, I almost certain! Okay, young'n, I'mma get you to your bug guy! Hold the ropes, I'll see if the stock is cool to go.

And he turned around, walking into the cabinet.
Minato grabbed the ropes and his bugs that he left in the tavern returned to him and crawled back under his skin after giving him the information they gathered.

They set sail just a few hours after that conversation. There weren't many people on board, other than Minato and the old guy there was just one other man, mute, that was there to man the helm. It was smooth sailing until they reach the island they were aiming for. The old man said his goodbyes and then quickly left

Seeing the old man leave in a rush, Minato waves goodbye and begins his travels toward the nearest town where the Crimson Tavern is said to be according to his map. Once he arrives, he walks into the tavern and sends 12 insects in all directions, with pairs of 3 flying to each corner and arranging themselves so that one is near the floor, one in the middle of the wall and one on the roof. Minato then stands by the door and waits for his insects to return to him and tell him if The Admiral is in the tavern.

He noticed him right away, and it's not like the new arrival was being all that discrete. At least not to someone with his kind of expertise. Panthalassa moved away from the sitting lounge on the back, with his full glass of milk, and walked over to the new arrival.

Greetings, mate. I see you're an Aburame. And from Konoha no less! Let me buy you a drink!

Minato see's the man walking toward him, not knowing whether to be on the defensive, he summons several chakra sapping bugs to his sleeve just out of sight of Panthalassa. But after hearing the man speak, he makes the bugs retract and go back into his body (gross). "Th-thank you! I have very much to ask you about!" And with that, they walk to the bar and grab a drink.

What, me? Have we met before?

Panthalassa tried his best to inspect the man's face, but he didn't seem to remember him. They walked by the bar where Panthalassa order the usual ( It's just apple juice ) and asked Minato what he wanted.

"Just a glass of milk if that's fine. But I doubt you would know me. I come from Konohagakure, i've been searching for years to find an Aburame teacher, but nobody in our clan wants to teach anymore. So I have come all the way out here searching for you, in the hopes that you will train me." The milk arrives and I take a drink.

Secretly, Panthalassa was really proud of this man's drink choice. Not so secretly, he was ecstatic that an Aburame, and from Konoha no less, would be willing to travel this far just to learn from him.

Ah man, you have no idea how happy I am. Though it also saddens me, that we are so few in numbers that not even Konoha has enough teachers.

As the drinks arrived, Panthalassa gulped down the juice like it was alcohol, ad then asked for a re-fill.

Strong stuff this drink... Tell me, what do you know so far?

"Well. I know our clan uses bugs for fighting, sensing and tracking. They can also be used for espionage. The insects live inside our body and feed on our chakra as a sort of payment for their services to us. Our bodies harbor tens of thousands of insects at a time, meaning we virtually can't run our of insects. And if we do, we can use the insect technique to fill our insect reserves back up." Minato takes another drink of milk. "But as i've noticed, our clan has very much potential for techniques that can and should be created, if allowed by our clan elders that is."

That's actually not true, about the can't run out of insects. We don't host tens of thousands of insects inside our body. It's more like hundreds. Are you familiar with the Insect Cocoon technique? It allows you to increase the breeding habits of our insects and rapid-reproduce them. We can use this technique passively every time we shoot out new insects, as a sort of balance-equalizer. That's why we can produce structures made of insects that are overall much more massive and thicker than our own body. But there's always a requirement of 2 insects, minimum, a male and a female. If somehow you find yourself in a position where you unleash all your insects, or they're killed, you won't be able to regain a stable colony.

"I didn't know that happened passively, I thought we just had that many insects inside of us. Well, that shows you are the master and I am the student I guess." Minato chuckles as he is taking his final drink of milk. "So, where are we going to be training in these techniques. I'll i've seen here is taverns and docks."

I'm renting a room in the tavern, you might want to do that as well. I made a few colonies on the forest behind the town, to keep some breeds there, we can go train somewhere nearby. There are a few insect species in the island, most of them drink blood.

He said, with a chuckle of laughter.

Anyway, want to get some sleep and continue in the morning?

"Yeah, it's been a long day of searching. Thanks for the drink. Hey barkeeper, get me a room would ya?" Minato pays the barkeeper and gets his key before walking to his room and telling Pantha goodnight.

Cool man... I'm excited about this training. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning, very soon! First thing I'm going to ask you is a discourse on what are Kikaichu, their abilities, their strengths, their weaknesses, etc. Study well! And read these scrolls of techniques, might help you a lot!

Panthalassa hands out tiny scrolls where all the Aburame techniques are written. They seem old. Then he turns around and goes to his own room.

Minato sits on the edge of his bed reading the scrolls for a few hours before falling asleep.

Note: I just want to mention that this bio is 84" tall xd

That's insane!

It's morning, the sun hasn't even rose properly. You start to wake up because you feel a certain presence in the room. As you open up your eyes, you see a blurred figured with two eyes, pinned to the ceiling. Suddenly it alls on you like a dead corpse, yelling and screaming, before dispersing into thousands of gruesome flies, buzzing around and smelling of rot and blood, blanketing you in bed.

Rank: C
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:30
Description:Creates a clone of the user out of bugs.
NOTE:Must be a bug user to use this jutsu.

And then the door props open, and Panthalassa, the real one now, is on the corridor.

RISE AND SHINE!

Minato, having been used to things like this because of being in the Aburame clan, just shrugs the bugs off and stretches while standing up. "I was trying to pull a sleeping beauty it seems." *yawns* "Whatever, let's get to training."

Damn, thought you'd wake up screaming. Anyway, this is one of the major things we have going on for us, our insects shock people, and disgust them, frighten them. Well, there's always a reaction to them, and, in whatever technique you do, especially when you are attempting to constrict someone or just strike them, play that part well. Make your descriptions carry meaning!

He says, as he takes you down the hall and out into the forest. The sun is just rising, there's still dew in the grass and the trees. The place Panthalassa chose is a meadow on top of a small hill. While the space mid range from them is relatively clear, there's thick foliage and woodland all around them. There are a few fly colonies hanging from the trees at their left ( Pantha's left).

Now, what can you tell me about your homework, talk to me about the Kikaichu.

Kikaichū are a species of small, beetle-like insects that are bred and utilised exclusively by the Aburame clan, forming the basis for their unique techniques.
