Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's for balancing, isn't it? The reason it costs chakra is so that people that use bugs can't do all kinds of other crazy junk on top of that. Or atleast that would be my reasoning. I'm probably wrong.

So whats the problem. If you only made your bugs swarm around or use weapons, what is stopping your from doing that now.

@Greg
No, just no. Scrapping Aburame really isn't a good idea, because it is a canon bloodline and there are a number of people who would want it. And leaving it as was definitely wasn't an option because they were using jutsu without a cost, planting bugs everywhere, and had the ability to drain chakra but did not have any defined rules. Doesn't THAT say something to you.

Anyone would have complaints if they have a gun that shot infinite bullets and then were told they had to start using guns that ran out and had to be reloaded. Does that make guns completely useless? Obviously not because people still use guns every day. They just have to be smart about how they use their bullets.

@Six
You are a weapon user. Simple strategy. Swarm you opponents with bugs and ******** them up with your weapons.

@Hikaro
You are a genjutsu user. Use some genjutsu to distract your opponents while you hit them with bugs.

Even though Shino didn't need any of the things you guys have, you have it, so use it.

It's not infinite chakra that's the issue. For some reason or other, Aburame were able to use most of their jutsu with zero chakra cost, and they're upset now simply because we took that away. For some reason, most of the Aburame jutsu said "Costs zero chakra" right on them.

That's what was done, and what they are upset about.

They only have one element because of all the other things they are able to do. If they REALLY feel like they need two elements, then there are professions that will let them have an extra element. Though the main focus of their techniques should be there bugs. If they didn't want to use them, then why did they pick that bloodline?

And that's not possible because? Ninjutsu specialist -> Extra Element bonus -> Sunaton and Suiton -> Make some customs and be happy.

And you know, sand is not like dirt, they don't need a jutsu to put some bugs in the ground.

There ARE other bloodlines that restrict elements. But what's this about only going up to A and B? Their first element should be allowed full access, though nobody cares about most S rank jutsu anyways. I dunno about the extra element though. As for Aburame jutsu only going to C, well, we DO have a solution for that. One I've been suggesting to people with clans like that all along. The crystal chakra element bloodline only goes up to C too, but i took it for a jounin auto rank. I however, have plans of making some jutsu for it. I'm just too busy working on other stuff to do so. And considering most other bloodlines that get a special element have to consider it one of their three elements, a ninjutsu specialist CAN get three elements with an Aburame. Bugs, their base, and their bonus.

All clans have abilities to make them Unique. Inuzukas can sniff out targets, Byakugan can see just about anything, etc. And THEY have their own custom jutsus as well, but we dont allow THAT to take up an elemental slot. Besides, bugs as an element makes relatively little sense, its the same concept as having goats and folding chairs as an element, even though bugs DO make more sense than those. But I dont see how a bug fits in with our other "elements", like air, water, fire, earth, lightning, and the Kekkei Genkai combos. Next we're gonna have to make the Inuzuka's dogs take up a slot, Kageton take up a slot, Yamanaka jutsu take up a slot........se what I'm getting at? Besides, not all strategies will use their bugs. I know that I've got plenty of strategies that use absolutely no part of the Hatake bloodline..........ok, maybe that one's a bad example, but I'm sure that, say, a crystal release user would be able to win a fight without any crystal, because he still has the same traits as a normal ninja as well. Every single strategy you listed ended with "swarm them with bugs." If the Aburame had a strategy that didnt involve bugs, or were up against a situation where bugs are worthless (Katon User) then they're just like the crystal user described above, BUT they're weakened as regular ninja. Every single clan in this guild is kinda like this formula:

Regular ninja + Kekkei Genkai/clan = Regular Ninja with a Kekkei Genkai.

The current Aburame is like this

Regular ninja + Aburame - some regular ninja = Weakened Ninja with a Kekkei Genkai.

Here's my final point that you havent addressed: The only Aburames in the guild dislike it. And while the clans should not be made exclusively for their benefit, when one wants to scrap their character, it means that something must be wrong with it.

And I'm sorry if you're insulted, thats not my intention in any way, but system that have been revised that people have problems with have to be brought up.
