Basic Information

Body Structure: Cockroaches are generally rather large insects. Most species are about the size of a thumbnail, but several species are bigger. The world's heaviest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach, which can reach 9 centimetres (3.5 in) in length and weigh more than 30 grams (1.1 oz). Comparable in size is the Central American giant cockroach - Blaberus giganteus, which grows to a similar length but is not as heavy.

• Cockroaches have a broad, flattened body and a relatively small head.
  
• They are generalized insects, with few special adaptations, and may be among the most primitive living neopteran insects.
  
• The mouthparts are on the underside of the head and include generalised chewing mandibles.
  
• They have large compound eyes, two ocelli, and long, flexible, antennae.
  
  
• The first pair of wings are tough and protective, lying as a shield on top of the membranous hind wings.
  - All four wings have branching longitudinal veins, and multiple cross-veins. The legs are sturdy, with large coxae and five claws each. The abdomen has ten segments and several cerci.
  
  
• An average cockroach has 6 legs, but can have more than 18 knees.
  - These multiple leg joints help them scale a variety of terrain, and move quickly to avoid capture and danger.
  
  
• A cockroach heart is nothing but a simple tube with valves. The tube can pump blood backwards and forwards in the insect. The heart can even stop moving without harming the roach.
  
  
• A cockroach can live for an entire week without its head.
  - After being beheaded, the way a cockroach's system functions, the animal could actually survive indefinitely, except for one problem. Without a head, it has no mouth through which to drink water, so it eventually dies of thirst. However, all of its other systems can function fully, even when it is entirely headless.
  

Sounds: Aside from the famous hissing noise, some cockroaches will make a chirping noise.

Digestive: Cockroaches are generally omnivorous although there are some species of roach that are wood eaters. Overall, they would probably eat almost anything depending on how hungry they were and what was on hand.

Skills

Listed below are the natural abilities of every cockroach blended with ninja use. Due to being accustomed to the life of ninja, these roaches are more adapted to being put through numerous scenarios from fighting hard battles to spying and more; raising their adaptability rate even more

Hardiness
Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects on the planet. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources like the glue from the back of postage stamps. Some can go without air for 45 minutes. It has even been noted that cockroaches are able to recover from being submerged underwater for at least a half an hour.

Radiation Resistance
The cockroach's ability to withstand radiation better than human beings can be explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation when they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each time it molts, which is weekly at most in a juvenile roach. Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation, but lingering radioactive fallout would still be harmful.

Adaptability
Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world. Some species of cockroaches adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Many tropical species prefer even warmer environments and do not fare well in the average household. Trained cockroaches though, like these found in this contract, are more accustomed to harsher environments; from snow to desert to marsh and more.

Nocturnal
Most cockroaches are nocturnal and because of this they will naturally run away from light when exposed. There are some species of roach though that are attracted to light, like the Asian cockroach. Majority of the species summoned have been trained to where they are not attracted to light no run from it but either way they are still known to work better in dark places depending upon what they are being used for.

Sensory/Tracking Skill
Cockroaches leave chemical trails in their feces as well as emitting airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. Other cockroaches will follow these trails to discover sources of food and water, and also discover where other cockroaches are hiding. Thus, the cockroaches can be ordered to track someone and will then use their feces and pheromones to lead other roaches to follow. This makes tracking easier.

Spying
Due to their small size and the fact they appear much like a common cockroach they have the capability to easily spy on people. What also helps is their bodies allow most to fit through tight crevices with ease. Young ones can squeeze through a crevice no thicker than a tip of a dime, while the older and fatter ones may need access equivalent to the thickness of the edge of a quarter. Besides most being small cockroaches are also rather quick as well at getting away. Cockroaches are known to have the ability to run up to three miles in a hour and also can easily squeeze between small crevices to for hiding. This makes them difficult to catch.

Climb Vertical Walls
Cockroaches can climb walls because they are equipped with a set of little claws on their feet designed for that very purpose.

Slight Healing Ability
Crushed cockroaches can be applied to a stinging wound to help relieve the pain.

Flight
Most Cockroaches have the ability to fly unless stated otherwise.

Morse Code
Do the fact Cockroaches are rather small and mostly lack the ability to speak majority of them use morse code to talk amongst each other and to their summoner. The only cockroach with the true capability to talk to humans and such is the Mega Roaches and Boss Roach. Boss Roach guards the land they are from and protects the other roaches and their affiliations; or summoners. The boss roach understands what all the cockroaches are saying and can provide information to the summoner without the user having to learn Morse Code. The Mega Roaches need to know how to talk as well when they are carrying passengers; plus they have been known to fill in for the Boss Roach at times. Of course it would still best to learn it anyway, especially when lower ranked.

No Handsigns
Due to not possessing hands these summonings have been taught how to utilize their chakra in a manner that they can still perform jutsu without hand signs. The closest they sometimes manage to get to making handsigns is that they draw their front legs together to focus.

Free Thinking Mind
Although roaches aren't necessarily dumb they aren't necessarily the brightest either. Most summonings may even follow their summoner due to the fact they don't have much of a mind to retaliate with. However, all of these roaches have their own personality and free thinking mind much like any human would. This is more obvious with the Mega Roaches and Boss Roach but if asked they will inform whomever that the other roaches do as well. Basically it wouldn't be a wise idea to try to kill any of them for they have "connections" and may take revenge depending on the roach.

Techniques

Note: These Cockroach summons are Ninjutsu based with the ability to use the Earth elementwhen able.

Basic:

-Jutsu that may cost the Summoner chakra but not necessarily the Cockroaches chakra unless stated otherwise

Name of Jutsu: Chi Hitotsu Sakkaku (Thousand to One Illusion)
Rank: D
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: A basic technique, or formation, where cockroaches, preferably hissing, scatter throughout the area. These roaches, once scattered, will then being to hiss on Que using the 'Amplified Sound' technique to make them sound louder. This is an attempt to make the opponent believe they are truly surrounded all around about thousands upon thousands of cockroaches. Best performed when targets least expect the roaches.
*Roaches can also beat their wings to add on to the sound effects if they need to.

-Does not cost User chakra unless not Pre-summoned

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Kenkou Senro (Sound Tracking)
Rank: D
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: Calling forth cockroaches, the summoner will have them spread throughout the area and hide from sight. Whenever someone passes by them the roaches will wait for the perfect time to start hissing and chirping while most likely utilizing the Amplified Sound technique to point out where the target is if they try to hide. This prevents the target from hiding from the user. Another way to use this form is when infiltrating a building and informing the user if someone is inside or not. Works best with terrain the opponent could hide in; such as a forest.

-Does not cost User chakra unless not Pre-summoned

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Mushi Kabe (Insect Wall)
Rank: C
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: Using cockroach summonings the user will call them forth to where they will fly together and form a wall. These roaches can create a full on wall before the user on either side and above or can even surround the user completely. Besides being used to block anything attacking the user, especially when the roaches use the hardening technique, the roaches can also be used to block anything from seeing the user; a good way to conceal handsigns. These cockroaches will continue to follow the user as the wall until dismissed.

These roaches can normally block...

Throwing Tools

• C-Rank weapons and below
  
• D-Rank jutsu and below
  
• C-Rank Taijutsu and below
  

*Excludes lightning based attacks for all
**Important: The ranks above are set for C rank Roaches. The Rank of the actual jutsu will be the same as the actual roaches rank and thus the ranks given in the response for the items they can block are raised by 1 each rank.
Example: C rank weapons changes to B rank weapons if the Roach is B rank
Example 2: B rank weapons will then change to A rank weapons if the Roach is A rank

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Kanbi Kaori (Sweet Scent)
Rank: C
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: Although the names makes it sound nice it is a contradictory title with a foul odor to most, if not all, humans. The cockroaches don't mind it as much but they aren't the point of the jutsu. Utilizing the Konoha Wood Cockroaches natural ability to give off an Amaretto scent the summoner will use these roaches to mostly confuse the opponent by masking other scents and such. This new scent can help hide the user, especially if they also have themselves drenched in the scent while it lingers in the air. Aids in surprising the foe.

*Amaretto - an Italian sweet almond-flavoured liqueur. It is made from a base of apricot or almond pits, or sometimes both.

-Does not cost User chakra unless not Pre-summoned

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Tobikomi Bakudan (Dive Bomb)
Rank: C
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: This technique is used to call on cockroaches, if not already summoned, to where they will come together and dive bomb an opponent. Of course the cockroaches that do this must know how to fly. If the hardening jutsu is used it is much like have rocks rain down on you.

-Does not cost User chakra unless not Pre-summoned

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Muragaru (Swarm)
Rank: C
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: This technique summons a swarm of cockroaches that will then surround the opponent and thus blinding their sight. They will continue to surround the opponent and thus provide the user time to attack while the opponent is blinded. Cockroaches can also already be pre-summoned and placed throughout the area or even come up from underground to surround their opponent. This technique does not truly use chakra but the cockroaches natural ability of flight.

-Does not cost User chakra unless not Pre-summoned

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Mushi Yoroi (Insect Armor)
Rank: C
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: Utilizing cockroaches with their hardening jutsu the summoner will call on them to surround the user like a shield. Unlike the wall the cockroaches will literally grab onto the summoners clothes and any other material they can and act like a suit of armor. These roaches tend to avoid area the user must move for running, throwing, and other motions involving movement so it does not necessarily slow the user down in that aspect. However it does weigh the user down more due to basically being covered with stones or even the giant cockroach; which could be like a boulder. These cockroaches can also easily be knocked off if the user were to be struck.

These roaches can normally block...

Throwing Tools

• C-Rank weapons and below
  
• D-Rank jutsu and below
  
• C-Rank Taijutsu and below
  

*Excludes lightning based attacks for all
**Important: The ranks above are set for C rank Roaches. The Rank of the actual jutsu will be the same as the actual roaches rank and thus the ranks given in the response for the items they can block are raised by 1 each rank.
Example: C rank weapons changes to B rank weapons if the Roach is B rank
Example 2: B rank weapons will then change to A rank weapons if the Roach is A rank

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Gokiburi Bushin (Cockroach Clone)
Rank: B
Users: Cockroaches / Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: This technique allows the user to create a clone composed of cockroaches. When this clone is attacked or if the user decides to have it dispersed, the clone will break off into numerous cockroaches that were piled together. Overall the clone works much like a kage bushin aside from the fact that when destroyed, no information can pass back to the user (unless the cockroaches tell the user themselves).

Although made of cockroaches it is still a clone and appears just like the user. The clone still works like any other clone should as well. This means the clone can mimic the user as though it were the user; for example the clone can speak, move, etc.

-------------------------

Name of Jutsu: Raishuu (Invasion)
Rank: B - S
Users: Cockroach Summoners
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link:
Description: This technique is mostly the combination of Thousand to One Illusion, Dive Bomb and Swarm. Works best if Cockroaches are pre-summoned and hidden throughout the area. Also if multiple types of roaches are used (mainly Basics and Giants).

All roaches summoned will literally gang up on a target and attack from all around. They will dive bomb from above, rise up from below, crawl towards the opponent from all sides if possible, and fly from all directions if possible. Works best when each roach is also using the basic E rank clone technique as well (makes it appear as though there are more of them then meets the eye).

The whole point is to make the target believe that they are being attacked by thousands upon thousands of roaches whether majority are real or not. Other roaches are normally placed around the area for the Thousand to One Illusion formation to make the user also believe that nothing but more are coming. This technique is used to make the opponent mainly believe they wont win and give up; due to being surrounded. Either way, it leaves room for the summoner or alley ninja to attack if done right. Mostly used to trap foes if not trying to scare them, break their will, etc.

-Does not cost the User chakra unless Cockroaches not Pre-summoned (meaning it uses the roaches chakra individually)

Types

Note: Due to the fact there aren't places like America and Asia in the Naruto Realm these Cockroaches will have Modified names with the actual name being placed beside it. This does not mean that a Konoha roach cannot be summoned in Kumogakure and vice versa for any village. It's just to add some spunk.

Note 2: All Basic Information and Skills still apply to each roach, no matter what type, unless stated otherwise in Descriptions

Summoned Creature: Konoha Cockroach - (American Cockroach)
Rank: D

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Description: Basic Roach

Body
Konoha cockroach adults grow to an average length of around 4 centimetres (1.6 in) and about 7 millimetres (0.28 in) tall. They are reddish brown and have a yellowish margin on the body region behind the head. Immature cockroaches resemble adults except that they are wingless. This roach also has a pair of compound eyes with over 2000 lenses.

Speed
Konoha Roaches are considered one of the fastest insects. During a speed test these roaches registered a record speed of 5.4 kilometres per hour (3.4 mph), about 50 body lengths per second, which would be comparable to a human running at 330 kilometres per hour (210 mph).

Flight
The adult Konoha cockroach can also fly.

Habitat
Konoha cockroaches generally live in moist areas, but can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer warm temperatures around 29 °C (84 °F) and do not tolerate cold temperatures. In residential areas, these cockroaches live in basements and sewers, and may move outdoors into yards during warm weather. These cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways adjacent to buildings.

Diet
The Konoha cockroach is a scavenger that feeds on decaying organic matter and a variety of other foods. It is particularly fond of fermenting foods.

Summoned Creature: Konoha Woods Cockroach - (Florida woods cockroach)
Rank: D

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Description: Basic Roach

The Konoha Woods Cockroach is a large species of cockroach, which usually grows to a length of 1½ inch to 2 inches. It is black in color, and has a wide, glossy body, and appears at first glance to be wingless, however it does have very short wings just beneath its head, which are useless for flying. However these roaches still possess the other skills listed above. The cockroach, when disturbed, often emits a strong, disagreeable odor, somewhat reminiscent of amaretto*. It can often be seen in sheltered outdoor locations, such as under leaf litter, in tree holes, and under lumber and boards, and other crevices. It is often seen in bushes and wooded areas.


Amaretto - an Italian sweet almond-flavoured liqueur. It is made from a base of apricot or almond pits, or sometimes both.

The purpose of using these roaches is for them to release this scent whether it be in the targets face or just all around it. This is so that the target becomes confused and has trouble tracking the users scent; aka blinding their noise.

Summoned Creature: Amegakure Hissing Cockroach - (Madagascar hissing Cockroach)
Rank: B

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Description: Basic Roach
The Amegakure Hissing Cockroach, also known as the hissing roach or simply hisser, is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 2–3 inches at maturity. Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless; so they lack the ability to fly. However they still possess the other skills listed above and are actually one of, if not, the best climbers. They feed primarily on vegetable material.

Hissing
The hissing cockroach received their name due to their ability to force air through the breathing pores (spiracles) found on each segment of their thorax and abdomen. The Amegakure hissing cockroach is believed to be the only insect that can growl in this exact manner, as most insects that make a "hissing" sound do so by rubbing together various body parts. This hiss takes two forms: the disturbance hiss and the fighting hiss.
All cockroaches from the fourth instar (fourth molting cycle) and older are capable of the disturbance hiss but these roaches, of course, are better at it.
Only males use the fighting hiss; they use it when challenged by other males. This establishes a dominance hierarchy by one of the males backing down and the fight being over. Males hiss more often than females.

These Cockroaches moved from Amegakure into Konoha when Boss Roach came to be. Hoping to test their abilities they believed they could take out Boss Roach but failed and ended up joining his forces instead.


Jutsu:

Name of Jutsu: Okosu Kenkou (Amplified Sound)
Rank: E
Users: Cockroaches
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: -
Training Link: -
Description: A basic technique that, by utilizing chakra, allows cockroaches to amplify their sound or to make themselves be more heard. One roach alone can increase their sound to where they can be heard from 7 meters away in a forested area where as numerous roaches can make themselves be heard from roughly a 20 meter range. If inside a building there will need to be at least 5 roaches to be heard through a solid wall due to the fact sound waves bounces off solids. In the open or on water, a single roach could be heard from 10 meters away where as many more could be heard from 20 to 30 meters away. The further the distance or the more obstacles, the more roaches there needs to be to hear them.

---

Summoned Creature: Giant Burrowing Cockraoch
Rank: B
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Description: Giant Roach

They are the world's heaviest species of cockroach and can weigh up to 35 g (1.2 oz) and measure up to 80 mm (3.1 in) in length. However these roach summonings tend to weight more and are a foot long and a foot wide. Thus why they do not really fall under the Basic category.

They can live for up to 10 years. Unlike some other cockroaches, they do not have wings and thus cannot fly. Their main purpose when summoned though is mostly to swarm an area by ground and frighten people because there is a huge cockroach coming at them. This cockroach's diet has changed over the years since living in Konoha from not only fruits and other things an omnivore would eat but also to wood. In fact they love wood more than anything. Unlike some skills these roaches, besides not being able to cly, also can't climb and are odorless. This makes them useless for using them to track not only because other roaches can't but even though they are odorless they are also rather large and obvious. Despite their size though these roaches have been trained for speed and move well over desert and plain like areas.

Due to being heavy, and because they have the ability to use the hardening jutsu, these roaches are rather good for being placed on people or grabbing their feet to slow them down. Much like having a rock attached to your foot; the more the merrier!

Jutsu:

Name of Jutsu: Moguragakure no Jutsu (Mole Hiding Technique)
Rank: C
Users: Doton Users / Cockroaches
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: Doton
Training Link: -
Description: This technique allows the ninja to burrow into the ground and hide out of sight. The user then has the ability to travel underground freely; allowing them to have a better escape in some scenarios and even lay traps. Once the user reemerges, they can come up with half their body still in the ground if they choose. By mixing chakra with the dirt this also allows them to sense their surrounds. The ground around the spot they come out will appear as though it is untouched.

Rules

Due to the fact that it is rather ridiculous to only have to summon one tiny cockroach at C rank, I am proposing a set of rules for each rank and the number of cockroaches the user is allowed to summon. I request that readers please bare in mind that all the roaches are rather small excluding the Giant Roaches, the Mega Roaches, and the Boss Roach since they are either big already or bigger than real life.

Below the order is explained as...
Rank of Ninja -> Rank of Roach allowed to Summon -> Maximum Number of Roaches Allowed to Summon

C-Rank: (D - C) / 50 Basics
B-Rank: (D - B) / 300 Basics or 5 Giants



A-Rank and S-rank are a bit more difficult to explain due the greater amount of experience and more possibilities when it comes to summoning. Below is a list that explains what the user could summon EACH per battle.

Example (for S-rank): For instance, if the user summons 1000 D/C ranks to battle they cannot summon anything else. Same goes for each. There is the possibility of mix matching, for instance summoning some basics and a mega roach but that is more complicated to explain. Thus I will provide maximums and leave it up to the summoners to judge appropriate amounts when mix matching. This does not mean someone has the capability to summon 999 D/C Basics and 2 Mega Roaches; that is rather ridiculous.

So remember, whether A or S rank, below are MAXIMUMS. Judge wisely on amount summoned please.

Below the order is explained as...
Rank of Ninja -> Rank of Roach allowed to Summon
Bullets: Maximum Number of Roaches Allowed to Summon -> Rank of Roach allowed to Summon

A-Rank: (D - A)

• 500 Basics (D/C)
  
• 300 Basics (B)
  
• 100 Basics (A)
  
• 20 Giants (B)
  
• 10 Giants (A)
  
• 1 Mega
  

S-Rank: (D - S)

• 1000 Basics (D/C)
  
• 800 Basics (B)
  
• 600 Basics (A)
  
• 100 Giants (B)
  
• 50 Giants (A)
  
• 3 Mega
  
• Boss Roach
