This was something I thought of one morning sitting in bed, where/when most of my random fun ideas come to me. XD It's my thoughts on how I think the Aburame clan may have gotten started way back a century or two ago. Cause I was thinking, how in the world does a clan start where you have insects living inside your body? XD

I Don't own the series Naruto, Kishimoto does, I just borrow it on weekends, and flesh out the Aburame clan for him :P .

Back before a yellow-haired, loud-mouthed ninja ran the streets of Konoha village, before the hokages, the ninja academy, even before Konoha itself…was a small spit of houses in the Fire Country forests that was almost too small to even be called a village. There, a few small family groups had made their home. All of them practiced the ancient ways of the shinobi, for self-protection, tradition, and usefulness. Some were more serious with the discipline than others.

There was a family with a tradition in sumo wrestling, who would farm and work along a group of deer-raisers. Both of these families gave much to the village, and were known for their good company and cheery demeanor.

There was family with a few members who had strange eyes, who could see like that of a hawk, if not better. Everyone knew they were they best hunters around (bringing back meat that they would trade to the rest of the village), so no one complained of their strange appearance. There was another group who had a single boy with unusual red eyes, who was training to become a skilled warrior. There was also a family of dog lovers and raised them to aid in hunting and protection.

The last family of the village was the smallest. They would meditate daily, practice chakra techniques while doing tai-chi (for the discipline, meditation and defense), and calmly tend their gardens as they raised their children. All were respectful and friendly in their demeanor. They were known for their knowledge of animals, having extensive chests of scrolls from generations past, all with information on the dangers or uses of various species. People in the village would come to them for information or medicines (which they made from herbs and various animal parts). Travelers would even come from far away for their medicines.

The small group however was most known for their especially unusual strong respect for insects. They had been seen sitting under trees and just starring at a beetle for hours, or having butterflies come right to them as if called like a trained dog would be. They would make pottery or clothing embellished with insect imagery, and were never seen maliciously killing an insect, who also never seemed to touch their crops. Some said they could even talk to them, saying it with a laugh, making a joke as to how much they loved them.

However, those in the little village did not know just how right they were, but they were soon to find out…
