Basic Information
Name: Shino Aburame (油女シノ,Aburame Shino)
Nickname: Shino
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Clan: Aburame clan(油女一族,Aburame Ichizoku)
Looks: Shino is a fair-skinned ninja and the tallest
member of his graduating class. He has dark, bushy,
brown hair anddark, narrow eyes, the latter of which
has only been shown in the anime. Shino is regularly
seen sporting the same style as the rest of his
clan,consisting of dark sunglasses and a sea-green
jacket with a high, upturned collar. During Part II,his
appearance became even more mysterious,withhis
jacket hanging down to his knees and the addition of
a hood that obstructs his face even more and a
satchel on his back. This current appearance makes it
harder for people like Naruto to recognise him right
away. During the Fourth Shinobi World War,he wears
a flak jacket under his jacket.
While Shino was in the Academy, he wore a similar
outfit to the one he does now in Part II except his
jacket then was of a light grey color.
Personality: Since his early childhood, Shino has been
a calm, collected, and solitary person, who is quite
mysterious. Shino is portrayed as being somewhere
between merely stoic and matter-of-fact, rarely ever
smiling or showing emotion at all; rather than thank
his team-mates for congratulating him on his victory
in the preliminaries, he told them that he expected
them to do the same.He also has a tendency of
holding grudges and being rather intimidating,such
as seen when Naruto failed to recognise him at the
start of Part II (which is fair as the only visible part of
his face were his sunglasses), but easily recognised
Kiba and Hinata. He still holds that grudge to this
day.
Shino seems to be aware of these odd personality
traits; in the anime,when he ate food poisoned with a
chemical that forced him to laugh, he menacingly
told Naruto to forget it had ever happened. His
interest in insects only helps him strengthen this
viewpoint;by spending most of his spare time
watching them, and often making analogies to
insects when talking, people have come to identify
Shino as "creepy", and tend to dislike being in his
company for prolonged periods of time.
Despite occasionally arguing with Kiba,Shino has a
very strong sense of connection with his team-mates
and allies, first seen when he regretted being
unavailable and therefore unable to help with
retrieving Sasuke Uchiha. From that point onwards,
he resolved to work on his teamwork skills with Kiba
and Hinata. He even helped Hinata to improve her
abilities, and is one of the few people,besides
Naruto,who openly professes confidence in her. The
fruits of his efforts are seen in the anime, where
Shino was able to carry out a mission successfully
while also keeping others safe. He also proves to be
able to understand his team-mates' inner workings,
sensing when the slightest of things is wrong with
either of them.During the Fourth Shinobi World War,
he also went out of his way to keep his team-mate's
chakra flow active through the use of his insects.
Shino speaks in a curious fashion, as noted by both
Naruto and Kiba.He speaks ina mannermost simply
described as "nitpicking"and uses the word
'because' (なぜなら, nazenara) a great deal. To others, his
manner of speaking seems like over concern with the
trivial points of a conversation which could be left
unsaid, or, providing information that will leave
questions that could possibly be asked — already
answered.
In the anime, it was shown that Shino will panic when
confronted within sectivorous animals or plants (with
Shino himself likening it to psychological torture). He
will also fall into despair showing saddened
expressions — a typical of him — to the point where
he almost cries and even refuses to continue his
mission to avoid losing any more insects.

Background Info
History:
Chuunin Exams
In the first part of the Chūnin Exams, Shino used his
insects to read the answers on other people's tests.
During the second part, his knowledge of insects
allowed his team to take another team's scroll with
little effort; when leeches attacked another team
(from the Amegakure in the anime, from the
Konohagakure in the manga), they stumbled into a
net trap.
During the preliminary matches of the Chūnin
Exams, Shino was matched against Zaku Abumi.
Because one of Zaku's arms was in a sling, Shino
advised him to forfeit the match. Zaku refused, and
instead attacked Shino with his one good arm. In
attacking Shino, Shino was given an opportunity to
box in Zaku with bugs, forcing Zaku to choose
between attacking him or attacking the bugs, leaving
the other to attack Zaku from behind. Zaku chose to
attack both, and pulled his other arm out of its sling.
As Zaku prepared to blast the two opposing forces,
his arms detonated, making them unusable and
putting him in immense pain (in the manga, his right
arm was even blown off of his body). As Zaku
writhed, Shino revealed that the tubes in Zaku's
arms had been filled with his bugs, causing the
pressure of Zaku's attack to go inward when it
couldn't escape.
Shino was scheduled to fight against Kankurō in the
final rounds, but Kankurō forfeited before their match
began to avoid revealing the secrets of his puppet
Crow. The invasion of Konoha started soon
afterwards.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
When Kankurō fled the village, Shino followed him,
wanting the fight he had been denied. Shino caught
up with Kankurō about to fight with Sasuke, allowing
Sasuke to continue on ahead while they had their
match. Kankurō attacked Shino from a distance with
his puppet, and Shino used his bugs to make
otherwise impossible evasions. A poisonous gas
attack, however, caught Shino by surprise. Although
he was able to avoid the worst of it, Shino breathed
in some of the gas. As the battle progressed, Shino
used his bugs to eat away at the chakra strings that
Kankurō used to control his puppet, forcing Kankurō
to frequently relinquish and reacquire control of his
only weapon. All the while, Shino directed his bugs to
the scent of a female bug planted upon Kankurō's
head, and upon reaching Kankurō, they consumed
his chakra. As Kankurō collapsed due to the sapping
of his strength, Shino collapsed too, the poisonous
gas taking effect. After regaining consciousness,
Shino found his father, Shibi Aburame, standing over
him, using his own bugs to draw out the poison in
Shino's body.
He is later seen at the Third Hokage's funeral
alongside the other villagers, mourning his death.
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Shino regretted being away with his father on a
mission and therefore unable to help. Shino felt that,
had he been able to help, the mission's outcome
might have been different, and Sasuke might not
have been able to abandon the village. Putting the
past behind him, Shino resorted to working on his
teamwork skills with Kiba and Hinata, helping the
latter to improve her abilities.
Part II
Two and a half years later, Naruto went looking for
help in another mission to find Sasuke. He ran into
Shino, who he at first failed to recognise, only
remembering him from his "annoying way of talking"
as Shino does not seem to notice his outfit makes it
hard for people who have not seen him in a while to
recognise him. When Naruto immediately recognised
Kiba and Hinata, however, Shino took to sulking with
his back turned, apparently hurt that Naruto hadn't
recognised him. Neither Shino nor his team-mates
were able to help Naruto, as their team had already
accepted a mission.
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
In the anime, Shino is seen at Asuma's funeral
mourning his loss along with the rest of the village.
Three-Tails Arc
In the anime, Team 8, under Kakashi's leadership,
was sent to investigate one of Orochimaru's
hideouts. It was destroyed upon their arrival, and
they searched the surrounding area in search for
clues. When they found a number of people encased
in crystal, a fate shared by some of Shino's bugs,
they sent a sample to Konoha for analysis. While
waiting, Shino discovered that some of his bugs were
resistant to the crystal, so he bred them to increase
their numbers. Doing so required that he separated
from the team.
Later, he reunited with his team in time to help them
avoid a trap. Though the enemies retreated, Shino
discovered that his bugs had yet to develop a
complete immunity to the crystal. Soon afterwards,
they were trapped by Guren, the source of the
crystal, and Hinata was captured and encased in
crystal. When back-up arrived and saved her, she
revealed that she survived the crystallising process
by encasing herself in chakra. Shino's bugs had done
the same, which was why he had been unable to
selectively breed an immunity. The team pursued
Guren, but were distracted by the appearance of the
Three-Tails.
Shino was assigned to help the members of the team
that were trying to seal the beast. When Guren
attacked in an effort to stop them, Shino, knowing his
bugs were the best chance at defeating her, stayed
back to prepare his insects. Once giving them
enough chakra to coat themselves in, the bugs were
able to completely overpower Guren's crystal
techniques. Shino continued to protect the sealing
team after defeating Nurari.
During this arc Shino is acquainted with Sai, the
replacement on Team 7 for Sasuke. Naruto
introduces them but doesn't have much to say about
Shino, therefore hurting Shino's feelings. Because Sai
knew more about him than did his friend of 3 years.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
When Kakashi needed to build a squad for the hunt
for Itachi Uchiha, he added the members of Team 8
to his Eight Man Squad. When the squad
encountered Tobi, Shino took charge of the fight to
make up for not having been available to retrieve
Sasuke the first time. Even though he was able to
completely encase Tobi in his bugs, Tobi escaped,
and was subsequently able to get to Sasuke before
them.
Invasion of Pain Arc
During the initial assault, and the chaos created by
Pain upon invading the village, Shino along with his
team-mates watched in shock. Shino later left them
to meet up with his father and other clan members.
He joins Muta, his father and another unnamed
member of his clan in confronting Konan. They use
their kikaichū to eat the paper that Konan had
wrapped several shinobi in while Katsuyu healed
them. Shino then tells his father that he would give
his all to eradicate the enemy.[14] The anime
expands on this battle and the Aburame can be seen
launching a surprise overhead assault on her,
however this turns out to be just a clone.
Konan attacks AburameShino and his clansmen face
off against Konan.
As they look up they realise that they are surrounded
by clones of Konan who descend on them. Shino and
his clansmen send their bugs to destroy the clones
who, to their surprise, detonate. They later realise
that explosive tags had been placed in the clones. As
they narrowly escape the explosion, Konan, who had
drenched herself in water to counter the effects of
fire and mixed herself in with the clones can be seen
walking out of the flames. Later, in the anime, the
four Aburame have been seen emerging from
underneath rubble after Deva Path completely levels
the village. Later, he went back to celebrate Naruto's
victory over Pain with the other villagers.
Five Kage Summit Arc
After Sasuke has been branded an international
criminal and is marked for death, Shino wonders if
they should tell Naruto and Sakura about the
situation between them and Sasuke if Ino is in a
tough situation. Shikamaru then decides that he will
tell them. As the other members of Konoha 11 are
determined to kill Sasuke to prevent him from
descending any lower, Shino is also prepared to do
so. Shino was later seen with the rest of the Konoha
11, hearing Naruto's decision about Sasuke.
Shinobi World War Arc
Shino was placed in the Fifth Division. He stated that
his team should avoid drawing attention to
themselves, to which Ino assured him that it won't be
difficult. After Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi blew the White
Zetsu Army out of the ground, Shino used his Secret
Technique: Insect Sphere to attack them. Shino
states that not only are the White Zetsu Army strong,
but they're "durable as well and says that if this
keeps up, it'll end up being a war of attrition." After
the first day of fighting, Shino is seen alive along
with Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata, and Neji. Later, while
Neji rests and Hinata takes on Neji's duties as a
lookout, Shino tells her not to overexert herself as
well as he had his bugs scattered all over the area.
In the anime, when the White Zetsu Army had
infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces and began
assassinating each member one by one, Team 8 were
sent to a cave that was a hole to the allies' defences.
Team 8 encountered the White Zetsu clones but an
explosion occurred and everyone had scattered.
Afterwards Shino found that one member of the
accompanying Sealing Team was stabbed with a
kunai after the explosion had occurred. Knowing that
the White Zetsu could absorb the chakra of their
enemies to impersonate them, Shino (who did not
have any physical contact during the fight) was the
only one who could not be impersonated. Team 8
distrusted each other as the imposter but Shino
figured out a way to discern the imposter with a
game of rock-paper-scissors. Shino and Kiba (who
had figured out the signals during that game) rooted
out the White Zetsu clone impersonating Hinata and
defeat it. They later found Hinata lying unconscious.
Once outside the cave, Shino discerned that the
Zetsu clones had already collected personal data on
each Allied Shinobi member courtesy of Yamato,
meaning that the clones already knew of Hinata's
love for Naruto.
Later the next morning, in the anime, the Sound Four
were also summoned to the field. Despite the Sound
ninja's last opponents in Neji, Shikamaru, Chōji, and
Kiba managing to defeat them, the Sound Four were
able to place a strange technique on the Konoha
ninja. When Shino found Neji unconscious and with a
weak pulse, along with Kiba and Akamaru, he had
Hinata look at their bodies. After Hinata discovered
that their chakra flow was halted, Shino deduced that
they were put in a state of suspended animation and
won't last long. Determined not be left out again,
Shino used his insects to transfer his chakra into his
friends, despite the strain of it not being a natural
ability of his insects. Inoichi, contacting
telepathically, deduces that the technique removes
the victims soul and transports it to another location.
He also explains that this technique can be dispelled
like genjutsu, by pouring chakra into the actual
technique. However, it has a seal that prevents even
Inoichi, equipped with special enhancement tools,
from being able to detect or communicate with them.
Eventually, Naruto found the barrier and destroyed it,
allowing Inoichi, telepathically, to dispel the
technique and free the Konoha ninja. Upon
awakening, Kiba and Akamaru thanked the
indifferent Shino for his assistance in saving them.
Later, Shino's insects notify him of another Aburame
appearing on the battlefield, appearing to be another
reincarnated shinobi. Upon finding him, Shino is
shocked to find out that it is Torune. Torune explains
that he is nearly finished forcibly completing his
most forbidden technique which will poison a great
portion of the Allied Shinobi. Torune begs Shino to
get help, but Shino insists that only he can stop his
childhood friend. As the two battle, they find
themselves catching up on each other's lives, Torune
genuinely glad how Shino turned out. One of Naruto's
clone's then arrives to help. As Torune nearly hits
clone-Naruto with his toxic punch, Shino steps in to
take the hit, revealing that his newest insects can
repel the toxins of Torune. Using them to pin down
Torune, Shino then applies a sealing tag to finally
subdue him. Before joining clone-Naruto to help their
allies, Shino thanks Torune for all his help.
Upon hearing that Hinata was in trouble, Shino heads
towards her alongside Kiba, Akamaru and Neji. He
later mobilises with Naruto and the others to finish
the rest of the enemy forces.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
After being informed by Inoichi from HQ that Naruto
and B were fighting the "masked Madara", Shino and
the rest of the Konoha 11 rush to his aid. As he runs,
he states that he would flawlessly support Naruto
with his power and that this time, there was no
because. Upon arriving at the battlefield, Shino and a
few other Aburame immediately use the Insect
Jamming Technique in tandem with the Kiri-nins'
Hiding in Mist Technique to obscure their position on
the battlefield. He, and the other members of the
Allied Shinobi Forces later stood to face their
opposition.
After the failed attempt to immobilise the Ten-Tails,
Shino and the others braced themselves as the beast
emerged from the hole it had been trapped in. He
later listened on as Shikaku Nara imparted what
would be his final battle strategy to the Alliance.
Shino later looked on in shock after learning of Neji's
death. He would later rally to Naruto and Sakura's
location after Sasuke Uchiha arrived on the
battlefield to confront his former comrade. Utterly
shocked by the Uchiha's declaration that he would
become Hokage, Shino brought up the point that his
crimes that he had committed would not be easily
forgotten nor forgiven. Later, he followed Kiba's
determination to join the fight after watching Team
7's display, and used the Parasitic Giant Insect Bug
Bite technique, defeating several of the Ten-Tails'
mini-clones. Afterwards, he watched Naruto and
Sasuke attack the Ten-Tails, while silently willing
them on in the background.
With the situation looking grim as the Alliance was
trapped in a barrier with a Tailed Beast Ball-firing
tree, Shino and the other shinobi soon found
themselves shrouded in the previous Version 1
mantles again. He and the others subsequently
found themselves on the outside of the barrier,
escaping the near-fatal attack thanks to Naruto and
Minato's action. As he stood with his team-mates,
Shino noted that it appeared that they had been
teleported. When a recovered Shikamaru later made
his ambitions to become the next Hokage's adviser,
Shino informed Akamaru that it was all right as the
Hokage could have up to three advisers when
Akamaru seemed disconcerted by Kiba's expressed
intention of having Shikamaru become his adviser if
he takes the position of Hokage.
Responding when Naruto called for them
telepathically, Shino, the other Konoha 11 shinobi
and Sai are shocked when Naruto's Tailed Beast
Mode mantle forms around them as well when he
enters one of Kurama's tails. His directives clear,
Shino and the others used the Rasengan, which
Naruto had formed to break down Obito's defence
and give Sasuke and Naruto a clear shot at attacking
their opponent. Shino and his comrades who had
reverted to their Version 1 states later aided Naruto
is his attempt the extract the tailed beasts' chakra
from within Obito in order to stop the Shinju from
blooming.

Shino was scheduled to fight against Kankurō in the
final rounds, but Kankurō forfeited before their match
began to avoid revealing the secrets of his puppet
Crow. The invasion of Konoha started soon
afterwards.
Invasion of Konoha Arc
When Kankurō fled the village, Shino followed him,
wanting the fight he had been denied. Shino caught
up with Kankurō about to fight with Sasuke, allowing
Sasuke to continue on ahead while they had their
match. Kankurō attacked Shino from a distance with

Shino found his father, Shibi Aburame, standing over
him, using his own bugs to draw out the poison in
Shino's body.
He is later seen at the Third Hokage's funeral
alongside the other villagers, mourning his death.
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Shino regretted being away with his father on a
mission and therefore unable to help. Shino felt that,
had he been able to help, the mission's outcome
might have been different, and Sasuke might not
have been able to abandon the village. Putting the
past behind him, Shino resorted to working on his
teamwork skills with Kiba and Hinata, helping the
latter to improve her abilities.
Part II
Two and a half years later, Naruto went looking for
help in another mission to find Sasuke. He ran into
Shino, who he at first failed to recognise, only
remembering him from his "annoying way of talking"
as Shino does not seem to notice his outfit makes it
hard for people who have not seen him in a while to
recognise him. When Naruto immediately recognised
Kiba and Hinata, however, Shino took to sulking with
his back turned, apparently hurt that Naruto hadn't
recognised him. Neither Shino nor his team-mates
were able to help Naruto, as their team had already
accepted a mission.
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
In the anime, Shino is seen at Asuma's funeral
mourning his loss along with the rest of the village.
Three-Tails Arc
In the anime, Team 8, under Kakashi's leadership,
was sent to investigate one of Orochimaru's
hideouts. It was destroyed upon their arrival, and
they searched the surrounding area in search for

Shino was assigned to help the members of the team
that were trying to seal the beast. When Guren
attacked in an effort to stop them, Shino, knowing his
bugs were the best chance at defeating her, stayed
back to prepare his insects. Once giving them
enough chakra to coat themselves in, the bugs were
able to completely overpower Guren's crystal
techniques. Shino continued to protect the sealing
team after defeating Nurari.
During this arc Shino is acquainted with Sai, the
replacement on Team 7 for Sasuke. Naruto
introduces them but doesn't have much to say about
Shino, therefore hurting Shino's feelings. Because Sai
knew more about him than did his friend of 3 years.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
When Kakashi needed to build a squad for the hunt
for Itachi Uchiha, he added the members of Team 8
to his Eight Man Squad. When the squad
encountered Tobi, Shino took charge of the fight to
make up for not having been available to retrieve
Sasuke the first time. Even though he was able to
completely encase Tobi in his bugs, Tobi escaped,
and was subsequently able to get to Sasuke before
them.
Invasion of Pain Arc
During the initial assault, and the chaos created by
Pain upon invading the village, Shino along with his
team-mates watched in shock. Shino later left them
to meet up with his father and other clan members.
He joins Muta, his father and another unnamed
member of his clan in confronting Konan. They use
their kikaichū to eat the paper that Konan had
wrapped several shinobi in while Katsuyu healed
them. Shino then tells his father that he would give
his all to eradicate the enemy.[14] The anime
expands on this battle and the Aburame can be seen
launching a surprise overhead assault on her,
however this turns out to be just a clone.
Konan attacks AburameShino and his clansmen face

As they look up they realise that they are surrounded
by clones of Konan who descend on them. Shino and

that explosive tags had been placed in the clones. As
they narrowly escape the explosion, Konan, who had

walking out of the flames. Later, in the anime, the
four Aburame have been seen emerging from
underneath rubble after Deva Path completely levels
the village. Later, he went back to celebrate Naruto's
victory over Pain with the other villagers.
Five Kage Summit Arc
After Sasuke has been branded an international
criminal and is marked for death, Shino wonders if
they should tell Naruto and Sakura about the
situation between them and Sasuke if Ino is in a
tough situation. Shikamaru then decides that he will
tell them. As the other members of Konoha 11 are
determined to kill Sasuke to prevent him from
descending any lower, Shino is also prepared to do
so. Shino was later seen with the rest of the Konoha
11, hearing Naruto's decision about Sasuke.
Shinobi World War Arc
Shino was placed in the Fifth Division. He stated that
his team should avoid drawing attention to
themselves, to which Ino assured him that it won't be
difficult. After Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi blew the White
Zetsu Army out of the ground, Shino used his Secret
Technique: Insect Sphere to attack them. Shino
states that not only are the White Zetsu Army strong,
but they're "durable as well and says that if this
keeps up, it'll end up being a war of attrition." After
the first day of fighting, Shino is seen alive along
with Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata, and Neji. Later, while
Neji rests and Hinata takes on Neji's duties as a
lookout, Shino tells her not to overexert herself as
well as he had his bugs scattered all over the area.
In the anime, when the White Zetsu Army had
infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces and began
assassinating each member one by one, Team 8 were
sent to a cave that was a hole to the allies' defences.
Team 8 encountered the White Zetsu clones but an
explosion occurred and everyone had scattered.
Afterwards Shino found that one member of the
accompanying Sealing Team was stabbed with a
kunai after the explosion had occurred. Knowing that
the White Zetsu could absorb the chakra of their
enemies to impersonate them, Shino (who did not
have any physical contact during the fight) was the
only one who could not be impersonated. Team 8
distrusted each other as the imposter but Shino
figured out a way to discern the imposter with a
game of rock-paper-scissors. Shino and Kiba (who
had figured out the signals during that game) rooted
out the White Zetsu clone impersonating Hinata and
defeat it. They later found Hinata lying unconscious.
Once outside the cave, Shino discerned that the
Zetsu clones had already collected personal data on
each Allied Shinobi member courtesy of Yamato,
meaning that the clones already knew of Hinata's
love for Naruto.
Later the next morning, in the anime, the Sound Four
were also summoned to the field. Despite the Sound
ninja's last opponents in Neji, Shikamaru, Chōji, and
Kiba managing to defeat them, the Sound Four were
able to place a strange technique on the Konoha
ninja. When Shino found Neji unconscious and with a
weak pulse, along with Kiba and Akamaru, he had
Hinata look at their bodies. After Hinata discovered
that their chakra flow was halted, Shino deduced that
they were put in a state of suspended animation and
won't last long. Determined not be left out again,
Shino used his insects to transfer his chakra into his
friends, despite the strain of it not being a natural
ability of his insects. Inoichi, contacting
telepathically, deduces that the technique removes
the victims soul and transports it to another location.
He also explains that this technique can be dispelled
like genjutsu, by pouring chakra into the actual
technique. However, it has a seal that prevents even
Inoichi, equipped with special enhancement tools,
from being able to detect or communicate with them.
Eventually, Naruto found the barrier and destroyed it,
allowing Inoichi, telepathically, to dispel the
technique and free the Konoha ninja. Upon
awakening, Kiba and Akamaru thanked the
indifferent Shino for his assistance in saving them.
Later, Shino's insects notify him of another Aburame
appearing on the battlefield, appearing to be another
reincarnated shinobi. Upon finding him, Shino is
shocked to find out that it is Torune. Torune explains
that he is nearly finished forcibly completing his
most forbidden technique which will poison a great
portion of the Allied Shinobi. Torune begs Shino to
get help, but Shino insists that only he can stop his
childhood friend. As the two battle, they find
themselves catching up on each other's lives, Torune
genuinely glad how Shino turned out. One of Naruto's
clone's then arrives to help. As Torune nearly hits
clone-Naruto with his toxic punch, Shino steps in to
take the hit, revealing that his newest insects can
repel the toxins of Torune. Using them to pin down
Torune, Shino then applies a sealing tag to finally
subdue him. Before joining clone-Naruto to help their
allies, Shino thanks Torune for all his help.
Upon hearing that Hinata was in trouble, Shino heads
towards her alongside Kiba, Akamaru and Neji. He
later mobilises with Naruto and the others to finish
the rest of the enemy forces.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
After being informed by Inoichi from HQ that Naruto
and B were fighting the "masked Madara", Shino and
the rest of the Konoha 11 rush to his aid. As he runs,
he states that he would flawlessly support Naruto
with his power and that this time, there was no
because. Upon arriving at the battlefield, Shino and a
few other Aburame immediately use the Insect
Jamming Technique in tandem with the Kiri-nins'
Hiding in Mist Technique to obscure their position on
the battlefield. He, and the other members of the
Allied Shinobi Forces later stood to face their
opposition.
After the failed attempt to immobilise the Ten-Tails,
Shino and the others braced themselves as the beast
emerged from the hole it had been trapped in. He
later listened on as Shikaku Nara imparted what
would be his final battle strategy to the Alliance.
Shino later looked on in shock after learning of Neji's
death. He would later rally to Naruto and Sakura's
location after Sasuke Uchiha arrived on the
battlefield to confront his former comrade. Utterly
shocked by the Uchiha's declaration that he would
become Hokage, Shino brought up the point that his
crimes that he had committed would not be easily
forgotten nor forgiven. Later, he followed Kiba's
determination to join the fight after watching Team
7's display, and used the Parasitic Giant Insect Bug
Bite technique, defeating several of the Ten-Tails'
mini-clones. Afterwards, he watched Naruto and
Sasuke attack the Ten-Tails, while silently willing
them on in the background.
With the situation looking grim as the Alliance was
trapped in a barrier with a Tailed Beast Ball-firing
tree, Shino and the other shinobi soon found
themselves shrouded in the previous Version 1
mantles again. He and the others subsequently
found themselves on the outside of the barrier,
escaping the near-fatal attack thanks to Naruto and
Minato's action. As he stood with his team-mates,
Shino noted that it appeared that they had been
teleported. When a recovered Shikamaru later made
his ambitions to become the next Hokage's adviser,
Shino informed Akamaru that it was all right as the
Hokage could have up to three advisers when
Akamaru seemed disconcerted by Kiba's expressed
intention of having Shikamaru become his adviser if
he takes the position of Hokage.
Responding when Naruto called for them
telepathically, Shino, the other Konoha 11 shinobi
and Sai are shocked when Naruto's Tailed Beast
Mode mantle forms around them as well when he
enters one of Kurama's tails. His directives clear,
Shino and the others used the Rasengan, which
Naruto had formed to break down Obito's defence
and give Sasuke and Naruto a clear shot at attacking
their opponent. Shino and his comrades who had
reverted to their Version 1 states later aided Naruto
is his attempt the extract the tailed beasts' chakra
from within Obito in order to stop the Shinju from
blooming.
