Chapter 63: Team 8 Preparation 2
Kurenai Yūhi," Your preparation will be different from others Shino Aburame. It was mainly due to the clan you are from."
Shino Aburame was silently observing Kurenai try to figure out what she was saying.
Kurenai Yūhi," Your clan Aburame is a special one. Let's dive into your clan info before moving forward with our training. At birth, members of the Aburame clan are offered several special breeds of insects as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. These insects will then live in symbiosis with their host from that point on. Because of this, its members are characterized by their use of insects as weapons. As you are aware, your body contains several insects. The trick is how you use them."
Kurenai Yūhi took two jars from her bag containing bugs.
Kurenai Yūhi," If you are wondering what these bugs are, they are called Nikcho. Nikcho is a type of insect that can be used to track enemies. How? Let me explain a bit further. In these two jars, one jar contains a male Nikcho while the other contains a female Nikcho. First, you need to know how to differentiate between male and female. The trick is in antennae. The males have feathery antennae and the females have simpler ones. Now by looking at the jar can you tell me which is male and female?"
Kurenai Yūhi showed the two jars in front of Shino Aburame. Shino Aburame observed the insects in the two jars carefully.
Shino Aburame," The Left jar is the male, and the right jar is the female."
Kurenai Yūhi," Correct. The left jar bug is male and the right jar bug is female. The male and female Nikcho also have traits unique to them. The male has a unique trait that it can identify the female insect's location by smell even if the distance is long. One important condition is that males and females should be the mated couple. Couple Nikcho finds each other. Tracking the enemy part comes with this unique trait. To track the Enemy, you must place the female Nikcho on the enemy and use the male Nikcho to find them.
Shino Aburame nods his head as he understands it.
Kurenai Yūhi," First thing you need to do is to mate male and female so that you can use them. Male Nikcho attracts the female by doing a special dance raising its legs. there is a high chance of matting in a warm place. Now I want you to form a relationship with male and female Nikcho and try to mate them."
Kurenai Yūhi gave the two jars to the Shino Aburame. Since he was always interested in bugs he was more than excited to do this. Aburame clan members have a special ability to communicate with insects.
Shino Aburame started to spend more time with Nikcho bugs trying to understand them. At the same, he was also training his body to raise his physical abilities.
After a month Shino Aburame succeeded in mating the male Nikcho.
Kurenai Yūhi," Congrats Shino. From what I heard from your clan members it took an average of 2 months to mate male and female Nikcho. But you took around a month to do it. You are indeed talented. Now Let's do a tracking drill. I want you to track me with this Nikcho bug. Now the drill is We are fighting. In the middle of the fight, I will try to escape. I want you to track me with these bugs. Are you ready? "
Shino Aburame," Yes"
With that, the two started to fight using kunai. As both were fighting, Whenever Shino tried to move abnormally Kurenai would distance herself.
Kurenai," Shino don't try to place the bug while sololy focusing on that action. It will alert your enemy. Try to do this subconsciously, Like how we walk without thinking much about legs. Try to place the bug in a way that won't create doubt in the enemy. Now let's try again"
This time Shino placed the bug on her in a way that wouldn't create doubt in an enemy. In the middle of the fight, Kurenai started to flee. As Shino started to follow her, Kurenai disappeared in the middle of nowhere. With the help of the male Nokcho, he follows in a specific direction.
In the middle of the pursuit, he saw Kurenai going in a direction opposite to the direction male Nikcho suggesting. Shino Started to follow the male Nikcho's direction since his insects can never be wrong.
After a few minutes, Shino succeeded in his mission. He found Kurenai.
Kurenai," Congrats Shino. You passed the test. Not falling for the Genjutsu and fully trusting your insects - you scored full marks."
Shino called back his female Nokcho to his body. It seems Shino Aburame is also ready for the Chunin Exam.
