Equipment. A set of common clothes with the Aburame clan crest, a large container used to hold insects, 5 Shuriken (Darts), 2 Kunai (Daggers), a small pouch containing 10 gp

Feature: Insect Raised

Members of the Aburame clan are born and raised alongside insect colonies that they will eventually learn to control using their chakra. You carry a container of insects with you at all times which you utilize in the casting of your clan jutsu. These insects are always considered friendly to you. If you do not have access to this container, you will not be able to cast all of your jutsu. If the container is lost or destroyed, you can create another over the period of a long rest cultivating a new colony of insects. As a member of the Aburame clan, you can communicate simple ideas and concepts with all insects, and you can understand simple ideas and concepts that insects wish to impart. The starting jutsu that an Aburame clan member differs from the starting jutsu of other Clans; rather than substitution and clone, an Aburame clan member has Insect Burst, Insect Clone, Parasitic Insect, and the Swarm Summon jutsu.

You have either the Wind or Water nature.
