Now that you mention it, I would love to see a battle between Shika, Sakura and Shino.
It would be a battle of intelligence and it would really be nice to see how it would end.
I knew why I liked you from the beginning. xd
shino is a good character... he can fight a good 1 on 1fight and in a squad hes very usefull too...I was just wondering if it were me, or are a lot of ppl underestimating Shino and his bug techs? Maybe if i explain my thoughts on why, then i can get some insight of what ppl are thinking. ok so here goes.
1. Speed:
-ppl say Shino's bugs aren't all that speedy. i've even read that some said they were rather slow. i was baffled? from my understanding, Shino's bugs move as quick as ever. here's an example:

as you can see, from the moment Shino stood up, it only took 2 panels for the bugs to swarm from behind. there was no allotted time given to even warn Zaku of the impending danger. no sound at all was made by the bugs. (although in the anime, the bugs were heard, yet not seen by the surrounding crowd until it was too late). i find this to be an amazing speed feat in itself.
2. Durability:
-it has also been brought to my attention that Shino's bugs are rather fragile, and can't tank most attacks. i present my argument with these panels here:

as the other sound ninja explains, it is evident that those small amount of bugs were able to withstand and actually redirect a high pressured wind attack from close proximity range back out through Zaku's armls without budging. this brings me to believe that his insects, are in fact tank material, say for Temari's wind attacks, if gathered closely enough. Also, when fighting Kankuro, Shino does this:

mere kunai were not enough to fully penetrate the bug clone^
and another example here:

he used his bugs as a shield, naturally believing the projectile was an explosive one. So logically thinking, Shino deployed them with confidence that the bug shield would protect him from the blast. the only thing is, it was a poison gas bomb, not an explosive one, which caught him off guard. This brings me to also believe that they have the potential to defend against explosives of some nature.
-Intellect:
-It's been said in the latest databook that Shino's ability to focus on and analyze a battle situation quickly, as he's above the rest in this feat. yes...even above Shikamaru. He has a 4 in ninjutsu, when he doesn't use elemental ninjutsu at all. only his bigs. and a 4 in mind. you can see here he explains how he simultaneously communicates 2 groups of his insects when attacking from the front and the back:

-(backtracking a little) Also, it was because of Shino that his team was able to get to the chunin exams without a scratch because of his communication with the nature in the forest of death. the insects allowed them to retrieve the scroll with ease.
-Other Key Point(s):
-Because genjutsu affects activity throughout the prosencephalon structure of the brain, humans, dogs and other species of mammal are therefore all affected by genjutsu; however, the kikaichū, like all insects, lack such a structure to their brains, and so do not even notice it: as Shino Aburame put it, insects are ruled almost solely by five powerful senses alone, which makes them immune to genjutsu and gives the Aburame clan an ability to detect it when nobody else can.
-Close Range vs. Long Range: everyone basically knows Shino to be a mid-long range fighter. but he is also deadly in close range as well. (i figured i'd add this to the OT). so here goes:

here, he is seen taking a high powered move to the head. yet gets up as if it's nothing. in that quick moment, he marks the end for Zaku as well. and also here:

getting close to Shino can prove to be a deadly mistake as well. Planting the tracker bug is nothing to be taken lightly.
-Conclusion:
-So i would still like to get people's opinions on this topic. i logically believe that shino and his bugs have the abilities necessary to tank wind techs such as temari's. and explosives. as well as speed feats ppl tend to forget about. the stealth of the insects are superb in the fact that when you realize they are on you, it is already too late. Prime examples: Kankuro and Zaku. In Neji's case, i believe Shino would wear him out faster than Neji could wear Shino out. but that would be for the vs section. I also believe he has the necessary intellect to defeat every one of the konoha 11, aside from naruto. but that would also be for the vs section. please shed your thoughts on this post and if you agree or disagree. thanks for reading! cuz it's all i can think of right now
