Aburame Bugs

So fighting Fue has made me notice something. He doesn't use chakra to do any of the things he is doing thus far. When i brought it up as simple conversation in the cbox, another member stated that the bugs are to be considered like a weapon. Like say how a kenjutsu specialist sword is his weapon. So I'm wondering if being able to manipulate hundreds of bugs that absorb chakra with no cost is a overboard or not. I'm cool with the free-hand us, but most times even free hand usage has a chakra cost. Maybe its just me, but that seems a bit much. Or am I misunderstanding how it all works?

They feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly. The relationship between the shinobi and the insects is mutually beneficial. The host grants the insects shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive of tens of thousands of these insects, and in return the insects do the user's bidding, allowing the shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion. wrote:

As I understand it, they can use the insects free of charge. However, the insects would be feasting on the Aburame's chakra, making them unable to perform jutsus any normal jutsus requirering chakra, without consequences for themselves or their insects. Depending on how much chakra you have, you may be hosting more or less insects.

Thats pretty fuckin dope. o.o I think i want one now lol

You could have simply read the damn description which puts this all in, but I guess you are above that.

Chill dude it was just a question. This entire time I assumed they needed to use chakra. I decided to ask my peers. Not everything is about you. Conceited lol

I dont know exactly what Gambaldi meant about using insects with no chakra cost but if the case is in the jutsus I believe that the quoted Aburame description thing in my theory means...

In order to use the insect techniques the Bugs are supposed to have chakra to begin with thus the Aburame should either begin the fight with little to no chakra because they already gave the chakra to the bugs or use chakra like regular shinobis. I mean the plus side to this is that the insects could absorb the opposing shinobis chakra in order to be less cost effective (or no-chakra needed).

This is just my opinion and again, I haven't seen the fight so i dont know the problem much. I'm not trying to start an argument either but if the Aburame are using techniques without spending chakra, then I believe the Uchiha need an "upgrade" in the bloodline description loll

I was curious as to how it works mostly. I may go ahead and make one as my second char.

The bugs are not summoned but inside his body. He does not use chakra to bring out the bugs because they have been their the whole time. Though each rank has a set amount of bugs they can use per a topic. As once he runs out of bugs new ones have to be born. He does have to use chakra for jutsu that make the bugs explode and things like that. But just having the bugs fly around and do simple bugs things does not require chakra. Though like stated he is not able to use any other jutsu that take chakra. So he is stuck to clan jutsu and jutsu like Kenjutsu and Taijutsu that do not take chakra.

A taijutsu seem more ideal for the clan then.
