What type of chakra element does the Aburame clan possess?


Among the five basic elements of chakra (earth, water, wind, lightning and
fire), what type of chakra does the Aburame clan possess to control insects at
their will?




It very well could be a Kekkai Genkai, a ninja ability that is genetic or
passed down by nature genetically, i.e. Bakugan, or Shadow Weaving (the Nara
Clan). The make up of these abilities is not known and is really a family
secret only known to those within the clan.




I don't think it matters. The insects live under their skins in symbiosis with
their host. The shinobi and the insects both benefit from this: the insects
feed on their host's chakra (and I don't think they care about its type), and
the host can use ninjutsu involving the insects.

Note that ninjutsu must not necessarily be bound to a specific element. For
example, Shadow Clone Technique is a ninjutsu which can be used by a lot of
shinobi with different chakra types. Therefore, I think that Aburame clan
members can have any chakra type.
