Training

The weeks passed quickly without the planning and dedicated Mizi knowing, a few months came and went under her focused nose. With her newfound intelligence, experience, and innovative mind, she has mastered most of the techniques taken from the clan library and has already returned the scrolls to the archives...

One of the biggest gains from this training time, other than mastering her insect control and the related clan techniques to an adequate level, is the newly developed taijutsu...

After reading the clan archives, a lot of knowledge related to this world and its history has been memorized....one section of information is related to the Hyuga clan. This clan uses a doujutsu known as the Byakugan which can visualize the body's energy(chakra) lines as well as vasculature, musculature, etc she saw them as living X-ray machines.

The Aburame and Hyuga have had many exchanges over the course of history and as a result of such exchanges, detailed information about the human body is now commonplace within the library. It should be said that, amongst the major clans, such knowledge is not new nor precious as the Hyuga have profited from their unique ability many times...

'Bloodlines have great power in this world...buying anything other than the Aburame physique from the pavilion when I get back will be very expensive since, although I will probably come into contact with those clans and techniques both in and outside Konoha, I've only personally experienced the Aburame Clan. The same is true with elemental Jutsu...I'm lucky to have completed those achievements which made me rich otherwise, I would be very disappointed right now...' thought Mizi ideally as she made her way towards the clan training ground once again.

Once she arrived, she sent out a few of her beetles to the surrounding area, one thing she realized is that her clan is not as silent as she originally thought, and as many people outside the clan think. There is simply an unspoken tradition to only communicate through insects normally, as each member gets them from birth and no non-clan member can listen in...

==Good Morning everyone...== Mizi conveyed through her spreading insects, to which the few Chunnin and one jounin clan members currently using the training ground responded in kind before the communication channel went back to the main topic.....the rising conflict between the villages.

The Aburame are excellent ninjas in many people's eyes as they speak very little and inquire even less.....but most people within the clan know quite a bit, as intelligence gathering is very simple, they simply don't share it outside...

For example, since information transition is so easy for them, they often send their insects out to convey their experience in completing missions when they return to the village. This not only aids their fellow clan in gaining mission experience and wisdom but also informs them of news outside the village...

==Does anyone know for sure if war is coming? if so, when?...==

==War is defiantly coming. I, an Inuzuka Jounin, and a Hyuga Jounin were recently tasked with scouting around the area boarding the Land Of Rain...Demi-God Hanzo is fiercely combating the Stone's incursion into his territory, other villages are also making moves in the dark but that's all I know==

...

With those in the know continuing to be aware of the increasing tension between major world powers, many are preparing for the inevitable in their own ways...

Villages are consolidating and preparing wartime strategies for maintaining order and peace within their territories, the smaller nations are tightening their territories trying to prevent the major villages from waging war in their smaller villages which is futile, and even leaders of many clans are stockpiling weapons and recalling their members for high-level meetings and preparations...

Like with the rest of the major clans in Konoha, the Patriarch of the Aburame clan, Shibi Aburame, a young and talented Joinin recently taking over the position, was preparing for war and reading over personnel reports....he was ensuring their clan was all present in the clan before the war was announced and everyone was safe.

But, when coming to the mission list....he noticed an abnormality. Since the clan is on the smaller side, the quarterly mission statistics will reflect in an obvious way if even one clan member has been slacking off or has simply taken a holiday.

He noticed that the amount of C and D-ranked missions that have been performed in the past few months has decreased significantly. After pouring over the specific records and mission taxes received, he noticed that one Chunnin has simply fallen off the map after years of non-stop activity.....
