This is a what if scenario of Shino vs Temari at the Chuunin Exams. Orochimaru's invasion will not stop their match though.


Distance: Shikamaru vs Temari.

Intel: Manga (up to that point).

Shino knows Temari uses her fan for wind style attacks.

Temari knows Shino uses bugs.

Who wins?

Initially I felt Shino, but Temari is a good counter. Not sure though.

I wouldn't count Shino out. His fight with Kankuro showed his intelligence. I don't see Temari taking this with ease.

Bugs will be blown away by the wind just like Zaku blew them away with his wind. Plus the location favors Temari.

And it will be a stomp match if Temari summons her weasel.

CE feats, since she didn't use the weasel in the CE.

Since she hasn't shown to cover 360 degrees with her fan in one swoop, Shino has his chances. Temari has covered even up to the war arc only 180 degrees.

Tenten's attacks did not cover 360 degrees though, they were large kunais and were frontal attacks.

If Shino used his bugs effectively he should find a hole in her defense, in theory.

Temari wins.

In short, Shino's bugs will never reach her head on and she won't have to keep the same distance she kept against Shikamaru because there's no long ranged shadows involved here, which means her offensives moves will be more devastating for him.
He stands out as being good at planning, but it took a guy like Shikamaru to completely mislead her, therefore i don't think he has what it takes. Especially under more pressure than Shika was.

Zaku never blew away Shino's insects.
If the location is where Temari fought Shikamaru then it favours Shino more.

I assume this match takes place where Temari fought Shikamaru?

Shino fights by keeping his distance and distracting the opponent while commanding his insects to advance towards the target. Such as vs Zaku he pretended that he would directly attack Zaku when he truth he had hidden bugs in the guy's arm cannons and with Kankuro he distracted the Puppeteer by having the insects crawl across the chakra strings, but ending up revealing that this was to distract Kankuro from noticing the insects that happened to be sneaking up behind him.

That will be how Shino will capture Temari. He'll keep her busy by forcing her to blow the insects away, but he'll have another group of insects advancing somewhere towards her. The gusts of wind won't kill the insects, merely just blow them away from her.

At this point in the manga Temari is unaware Shino's insects can clone their host. All she knows is that they eat chakra and attack in numbers. There's at least one tree Shino can hide behind and use a clone to trick Temari with.


He stands out as being good at planning, but it took a guy like Shikamaru to completely mislead her, therefore i don't think he has what it takes. Especially under more pressure than Shika was.
This implies that Temari is so intelligent/talented for her age that it required a 200IQ genius to beat her. Which was nowhere near the case.

You know what i meant U_U
She was never close to Shika's plans, in fact she got completely out smarted in more than one way, but Shino is no Shikamaru, that's my point.
Still, it took more than just intellect to beat her. Shika was lucky for the holes dug by Naruto earlier in his match and his shadows helped him a lot. Shino's bugs will be little to no effective at all for obvious reasons.
