Honestly, Shino can potentially win this..
Shino already fought with Kankuro, so he has experience with fighting against puppet users. Meaning Shino already knows to expect the unexpected, given he is a analytical genius. He should assume that Sasori incorporates poison in his arsenal, and will be well aware of it. Not to mention, he already knows how to stop a puppet in it's tracks.
Shino has no way of breaking Hiruko, true. However, he doesn't have to. His bugs will jam Hirukos joints [

Don't feel like getting any further into this, unless someone tries me. I simply wanted to prove the fact that Shino is more then capable of dealing with the Hiruko puppet; that people who know close to nothing about Shino didn't think he could handle.
Make it team 8 and Sasori still rapes
Actually, this fight really interests me. Sasori doesn't even come close to raping! I say team 8 takes it high-difficulty.
