shinos insects have chakra. nejis weapon is destroying peoples chakra with gentle fist techniques. and since neji can push things off of him with gentle fist art one shot, the bugs cant get to suck anything.shino's insects eats chakra ....neji's weapon is chakra
shino stands absolutely no chance.
neji can see all his bugs with byakugan. and he can destroy them with eight trigrams palm, and gentle fist art one shot jutsu. with air wall palm, he attacks the real shino, pushing his chakra outwards in a long range powerful assault

Neji's air palms are a lot more powerful than you think. It's capable of instantly blowing a grown man clean off his feet. Bugs are much smaller and are only strong in large groups, so unless they are in a large group in front of Neji, then they probably won't tank it at all.Shino wins med diff.
Shino's insects have tanking feats. so it's very logical to say they can tank any of neji's air palms.
rotation would be useless to neji. shino would stop the insects from touching it. as soon as neji stops spinning, he gets swarmed.
shino laces the entire ground with bugs, what will neji do?
shino sends a sky swarm and a ground swarm, as well as an underground force. what will neji do?
IF neji decides to get close, he's open to be swarmed also.
just because neji can see the bugs, doesn't mean he necessarily can counter them...
Shino takes this every time. just because neji is jonin doesn't mean he's the strongest out of the konoha younginz. bad match-up for neji
fact is: Shino solos the each of the Konoha 11 (excluding naruto) he's the next strongest behind naruto
Well if Shino gets, close to Neji, he would be overwhelmed with incredibly fast taijutsu strikes. He isn't that great with taijutsu and would easily be overwhelmed.Shino actually stands a fairly good chance.
He's just as good short-range as he is long-range. It's a bad idea to get close to an Aburame. Least you get swarmed and can't escape. Assuming Neji tries to make it close-range, he gets close and he's at a risk from being an easy target.
Insect Sphere is an effective move for Shino to use against most opponents. The insects refuse to allow their target to escape, covering a wide range of the battlefield and halting the tiniest movement when their target is caught. Insect Sphere is difficult to avoid.
Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm has a specific target rather than a general area. That means it focuses on one point only and as explained before Insect Globe focuses on the whole area. Neji is going to be able to blow away one area of insects but not the rest surrounding him.
Revolving Heaven won't work if Neji is physically restrained and thus unable to spin. If he notices the insects and rotates them away, it'll be effective. But Shino doesn't fight by making his insects obvious. He distracts his opponents away from the bugs in order to have them overwhelm the opponent, so if Shino somehow manages to get his bugs (the Kikaichū happen to be very good in ambush) to swarm Neji and restrains him, they'll halt the tiniest movement and making it impossible/difficult for Neji to spin them away.
On the other hand Blow Body might be effective in allowing Neji to escape. But there are two things to consider: once captured the insects immediately start feasting on the opponent's chakra. While Neji would be able to use Blow Body to escape, he'd have less chakra. The second thing is that the insects don't allow the opponent to escape. If the Kikaichū capture Neji again and drain more of his chakra, repeating the capture by insects and escape by chakra blast, Shino could gradually tire Neji out.
Just to confirm, I'm only stating Shino has a good chance of winning (and that it's not so one-sided on Neji's part) and explaining my reasons why I think so.![]()
Neji's rotation is equally effective at repelling the bugs.As long as Neji can't do what Hinata can with the chakra (like the one with the bees), Shino's bugs will definitely own Neji, hands down.
