Everything's a little ... buggy.

SPOILER: Click to show Kikaichu Ishoku Rank: C Effects: Implants kikaichu in the users body. Special: A pair of mating kikaichu, a medic of B rank or higher, a medic of C rank or higher, one Aburame clan member of sixteen or older. Description: This ritual is relatively simple, but also an incredibly painful one. To begin, the weaker medic will first calm the recipient, using medical ninjutsu to dull the pain that could otherwise kill the recipient. The stronger medic will then make use of a chakra scalpel to incise a number of holes in the users body, from which the kikaichu will emerge. As the weaker medic keeps the recipient steady, the Aburame will implant the kikaichu in one of the newly created holes, telepathically informing them of their new master. The stronger medic will now join the weaker medic, as both keep the recipient from feeling too much pain. The kikaichu will rapidly begin to multiply and tunnel through the body, taking several hours to complete the highly painful process of forming a colony within the recipient. The medics keep the user stabilized whilst the Aburame clan member watches over the kikaichu. When the process is complete, the user will hold the destruction bugs of the Aburame Clan within them. Drawback: The process requires eight hours to complete. This takes up one technique slot if starting out with as a clan member, or three slots if not a clan member. Placement Requirements: Must have a B ranked medic, C ranked medic, Aburame clan member of sixteen or older, must have a pair of mating kikaichu. Cost: 16,000 Ryo. A young man wearing almost full body cloak and dark black goggles walks through the street minding his own business and rounds a corner into an alley to make his way home when a hand reaches out from the shadows and grasps his shoulder startling him. Before any other action can be taken a stream of black insects rounds from out of view behind the man and swarms the silver arm grasping his shoulder trying to consume its chakra at high speeds. The man spins rapidly and takes a defensive posture as the insects begin crawling and swarming over the silver arm. Laughter breaks out from the shadows as the Aburame man narrows his vision and notices who the person is. The man begins to chuckle as the insects immediately lift off the silver arm and return to the man. "Still jumpy as ever eh Riyon?" Michiko chuckles as she steps out of the shadows. "MI-CHAN!" The man nearly yells as he dives forward embracing Michiko in a hug while the two laugh. "How have you been?" Michiko asks as the two disengage from the hug. "Pretty much same as always really. Just sort of doing my own thing minding my own business. What brings you into bugville?" Riyon stated gesturing to the small set of houses in the distrcit they were in. This area was filled with a large collection of aburame members and dubbed "bugville" by the locals. "Well. Im actually here on business. I've a meeting with the kage soon and need to call in a favor. I've come to you actually because I need to call in a bit of a tricky request." She stated quietly. "I know i've been close friends with you and your family for quite some time now, and I've even helped you guys with many ..... activities.... that 'outsiders' would know nothing about. I dont want to go into the details about how often ive saved peoples bacon, so ill get straight to the point. I want my own insects." She stated continuing her hushed tones but speeding through her statement. Riyone didnt flinch at the statement even in the slightest. "You know what that would mean right? You do realise it is a permanent sign of dedication to the clan. There is no going back from that. We aren't exactly an outspoken group and our jutsu are our own. You're only allowed to be registered for so many clans. You'll need to think about this and make sure its what you want." He stated with extreme seriousness. "I've already thought about it. I technically meet all the requirements except for having the ritual and being registered as it is. And I already know more about the clans jutsu than your average user. I am ready and I already have the required cash." She responded still hushed but more excited as her friend has apparently reacted better than she originally thought. "Alright. If you're really serious about this we're going to need a couple of official clan medics." He said almost appearing lost in thought. "Meet me at the small clinic in half an hour." He said pointing to a nearby building and giving her a wide grin. Without giving her time to react he clapped her hands in his and gave her a happy look before bolting off to get the required members. Time passed and Michiko sat at the steps of the clinic awaiting her friends arrival. Staring into the sky she's rapidly thinking of various tactics to use the insects with. She doesnt manage to get through many though before her friend is walking up with a note in hand and a smile on his face. "Alright! Lets do this!" He calls approaching her waiving the note in the air. Michiko bounds to her feet and the two enter the clinic. "Alright. So this is signed by me and a few others, who have officially taken responsibility for bringing you into the clan. You'll be listed as approved by official family of the aburame line and you'll use some of our own insects as your starting set." He chirpped with glee. Leading Michiko to a desk he engaged in conversation with the nurse behind the conter explaining the situation and showing her the note. This note was on specific paper, signed and stamped with their family crest. The nurse gave Michiko some forms to fill out and after completing them the nurse took them and filed them away nearly immediately. After authentication was approved for the note the nurse pointed to a back room and Riyon grabbed Michiko's arm and almost dragged her into the room. Inside the room two medical nin stood next to a reclined table/chair device. They gesture for Michiko to lay on the chair. Removing her cloak she sets it on the side table near the back corner of the room. Unbuckling her belt she removes her pants and pouches as well setting them neatly on the table. Standing completely nude she takes a deep breath and walks over to the table. Taking her seat she relaxes and lets her steel skin soften to a standard humanoid skin strength. One medic helped her into a comfortable position. Placing his hands on Michiko's head the medic's fingers touch her skull as his hands light up and medical chakra floods over her entire body. A thin layer of chakra washes over her body slowly taking effect as she closes her eyes and feels her body numb. This process continues for nearly five solid minutes allowing her body to take to the numbing effect. The other medic who was standing by approaches Michiko and begins examining various spots on her body. Michiko was completely unaware of what was going on around her as this was happening as the numbing chakra effect was strong and made her feel fuzzy. The head medic who was examining her took to marking multiple spots on her body with a marker leaving small 'X' markings in key points on her body. Riyon understood them all to well, these points were to be the entry points on her body for Kikaichu to be able to enter/exit. Thankfully the way this proceedure works it leaves non-descript holes in the body that are essentially only opened when the insects are entering/exiting and only when the insects that individual hosts are trying to enter/exit. After a long enough time has passed the Second medic who had been occasionally re"dosing" Michiko's body with the numbing chakra retreives a few supplies from the cabinet as the head medic takes position. Michiko's body now covered in tons of little 'X' shape markings. The head medic produces a thin chakra blade on his hand and begins the incision process. Michiko's body doesnt move , more over, her body cannot move, but her mind races. The incision in her sends a slash of pain through her very core. The numbing effect was working on every point in the body except the point the medic was cutting on her with. This is the thought that processed in her mind as she rest on the table. In reality the numbing agent was actually doing its job, but the incisions were done in such a manner that they were hitting very key high nerve cluster locations. While great for chakra flow to be passed onto the insects it also means extremely painful when gashed open with this specific technique. The medic responsible for keeping her pain low begins another wave of chakra flow over her body. Over the next hour the head medic makes various incisions on each of the locations on her body and treats each with a secret aburame jutsu for sealing. The head medic brings a jar from the table over to Michiko and withdraws two unconscious kikaichu out of sedation. The groggy insects were inserted into one of the incisions and begins tunnelling through her body almost instinctivly. The previously prepared insects were ready to begin their process and needed only a host to engage in. Michiko's mind exploded with pain like she'd never felt before. In her mind small droplets of acid were eating their way through her body at such a rapid pace. The jutsu used on her numbed her mind and body making her dreams even more distorted than usual. The pain however flooded her body causing her to flail and scream even though she was unconscious. The second medic waves his hands over her quickly and a series of bandages leap up from under the table and restrain her body. Michiko flails on the table pulling against the restraints but failing to pull free, the numbing jutsu still strong on her body prevents any real strength from being exerted. Michiko's body felt as if something small was burning its way through her entire body, her first instinct was to strengthen her skin to maximum strength; but this was found to be impossible as currently she wasnt able to control any conscious chakra flow or physical movements. She had put herself into a completely vulnerable position and for a brief moment was almost regretting it. The insects burrowed into her body at a rather quick speed and began creating various tunnels and pathways through her body that would work 100% in tandem with her body and let the insects co-habitate with her. Millennia of evolution allowed these insects perfect symbiosis with living things, but never took into account the initial pain of the first proceedure; probably thanks to many hundreds of years of the aburame clan performing these kinds of rituals as the insects need not "find" and "Infect" others anymore. For hours Michiko was in the room receiving the incisions and insects and for hours more they burrowed through her body and began reproducing allowing many more insects to fill her body. Nearing the end of the proceedure the insects with only a few hour lifespan managed to reproduce so rapidly they had already created a hive within her body. The next few hours spent were growing accustom to her new life long friends drain on her chakra. Thankfully she'd always been able to adapt quickly to any given scenario which helped her in her adaption to these new insects. Michiko's eyes blinked awake. She was in the recovery room of the small clinic. Apparently two others also underwent the same proceedure and were still unconscious. "You're awake!" Her friend called as he hopped to his feet from across the room and approached her. That. Was probably the single most excruciating thing ive ever experienced. Every one of your clan's children go through this?" Michiko replied weakly to her friend. "Our clan. And yes." He responded with a beaming smile as he chuckled with her.
