At 100m? With Kidomaru watching? You don't think Akamaru gets his ass sniped by Kidomaru? XDAt this range and location kiba/aka easily uses the element of surprise to attack her in unison , has akamaru blindside her with piss then proceeds to rip through her with garuuga.
Team wins both matches low/med diff.
At 100m in a forest where kido literally has no Intel on byakugan or kiba/shino with also no proof he can see them at that range , not before hinata anyway , who would simple alert kiba/shino to the incoming arrow coming from 100m.At 100m? With Kidomaru watching? You don't think Akamaru gets his ass sniped by Kidomaru? XD
Kidomaru's not an idiot, he's gonna pick out whoever has the least chance of defending or seeing it coming; I think he goes for Kiba/Akamaru first
Mostly just playing devil's advocate since there's some controversy (yay)
This.Team 8 wins.
It is in Kidomaru's and Tayuya's nature to underestimate their opponents and play around during battle before being forced to get serious. Shino on the other hand stated himself that he'd never underestimate his opponent, and will go all out from the very beginning [You must be registered for see links]. No intel screws over Kidomaru and Tayuya, because they will have no idea about Shino's insects, which can maneuver around the forest and into their locationYou must be registered for see links. The only one I could see countering the insect swarm is Kidomaru, seeing as he can apply a layer of armor over himself, which surfaces from his skin. Tayuya on the other hand is toast, especially when her flute will be infiltrated by insects, stopping her from operating it.
The biggest issue will be Kidomaru once he gets serious, but he won't be allowed to sit comfortably like in his battle against Neji, when he has insect swarms pestering him. Also, his web traps are countered via Shino's chakra eating insects and Hinata's juken, which destroys chakra. I eventually see Kidomaru overwhelmed and taken out by Kiba's Garōga.
Bold: In that same scan he says that he had to put the bug on him first. at 100 meters how is that going to happen? Shino doesn't get anywhere close to them.Team 8 wins.

Is Part I Hinata's Byakugan on that level though? Neji's own limit appears to be 50 m in 360 degrees without focusing his chakra in one direction:At 100m in a forest where kido literally has no Intel on byakugan or kiba/shino with also no proof he can see them at that range , not before hinata anyway , who would simple alert kiba/shino to the incoming arrow coming from 100m

And I strongly doubt Hinata can even pull off the advanced detection techniques Neji was using at this point in the manga.
Kidomaru's visual acuity is definitely beyond 50 m; he was attacking Neji from a damn far distance away:

I don't think Kidomaru gets outdetected in this matchup. Even if Akamaru sniffs him out first (likely what happens, not Hinata seeing them right away), the range is enough that Kidomaru should be able to also find them before they get a significant advantage.
That's only necessary if Shino needs to track them. It's not needed with his teams tracking support, in addition to the fact that both Kidomaru and Tayuya canonically fought right in the open in the beginning of the match.Bold: In that same scan he says that he had to put the bug on him first. at 100 meters how is that going to happen?
