Quote:as a requirement?Hive Mastery
Hive Mastery is an umbrella style developed by the Kamizuru family for use with their swarms. It techniques grant greater utility and the ability to manipulate swarms at a more advanced level.
Requires one Concentration slot.

The Aburame have it built into the swarms that they can just be controlled and directed.
Quote:Mean while Kamizuru need a jutsu to direct theirs.Parasitic Destruction
The Kikaichū are a unique species of bugs who's diet partially consists of chakra. Because of this, the host of a kikaichū swarm can command their swarm to devour the chakra of others. Kikaichū can drain chakra based on their rank at the following rates:
D-rank: 1 Chakra Pool per two posts.
C-rank: 2 Chakra Pool per two posts.
B-rank: 2 Chakra Pool per post.
A-rank: 3 Chakra Pool per post.
S-rank: 5 Chakra Pool per post.
For balance purposes, this rate is fixed regardless of how many bugs are on a target, and there needs to be more than few bugs on a target. (Essentially, three bugs, which would be relatively hard to notice, cannot be hidden on a target and drain chakra.)
Quote:Nevermind the Kamizuru bees are kind of basic, the aburame bugs drain enemy chakra...~Central Hive Command • Attack
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After making the needed hand seals, the Kamizuru directs their swarm to attack a specific target or series of targets within a 25-meter range of the Kamizuru. The swarm attacks their target(s) with a strength equal to their full [Synch] stat. The number of groups the swarms can split into are equal to 1/2 the Synch stat, rounded down.
I would like to see a buff to the Kamizuru, as well as to change their basic swarm right up to allow passive commanding. (still requiring the swarm control ability, of course).
Something like this
Quote:Naturally, there will be ways to pacify your own bees... and any command jutsu will overright their passive, defensive, reactions.Fruits of the Hive
Hachimitsu hives have the ability to eat physical matter and, by digesting it and catalyzing it in their stomachs, can convert it into honey and beeswax. The hive cannot produce non-organic compounds, as the processes they use to create these substances are entirely biological and natural to their species. The Kamizuru can use these as components for jutsu. Bees will protect their hive/host/Queen, scouting around it and reacting to pheromone-identified threats with prejudice even without direction.
Honey - A viscous, liquid paste produced by the Hachimitsu variant of the Satsujinhachi. Honey has an elastic effect and actively pulls against any opposing force. Masses of honey that adhere to other masses of honey or to other surfaces require a Strength equal to 3/4ths the Strength of the technique, rounded down, to be able to separate. This also applies to the opponent's body parts and weapons that are either partially or fully covered in honey.
Beeswax - A thick, heavy solid produced by the Hachimitsu variant of the Satsujinhachi. Beeswax has a constricting effect and actively presses against imposing objects. After adhering to a surface or opponent, or after being struck by a weapon, jutsu, or opponent, beeswax actively crushes captured objects or opponents with a Strength equal to 3/4ths the Strength of the technique, rounded down.
Hachimitsu Swarm may only have one of either Honey or Beeswax.
