Suzumebachi (Insects)

The Suzumebachi (雀蜂 Sparrow Bee) are the so called "strongest bees" a member of the Kamizuru Clan can summon. Sharing many of the qualities possessed by the the Suzumebachi are the largest breed of hornet in the world. The Suzumebachi are also known for their flight speed, making them excellent for tracking down targets in short amounts of time. Strangely enough, only Contract::Yorchu Kamizuru seems to be able to control these dangerous insects.

When the Suzumebachi sting a target they release a pheromone into the air. This pheromone rapidly spreads, alerting other insects of the enemy's location and signalling attack. The venom used by the Suzumebachi also causes intense pain and damages muscle tissue. As a result, many shinobi who are stung by the Suzumebachi rarely survive, and even if they do the pheromones will only attract more bees to the unfortunate shinobi. When prematurely killed, the Suzumebachi release the pheromone stored in their body, attracting other bees to avenge their death. Because of these factors the Suzumebachi are considered by many to be some of the strongest insects an insect specialist can acquire.
