Who can Shino beat in Akatsuki?

[Mellanoma]

There's no way he's beating Sasori and as for Hidan, he'll have to rely on long-range because he has to physically touch his target to transfer the kidaichu. With a taijutsu score of 1.5, getting close to a close-range specialist like Hidan (4.5) ain't happening.

Sasori is all speculation in reference to if his beetles can handle his poison

As for Hidan Shino style is distance and wide spread attacks and based on Hidan's intelligence I believe Shino would take this one.

 

[Made in Heaven]

I think he can beat Hidan and Konan. Don't think his bugs can handle poison, and Kakuzu would burn away his limited insects until they're all dead. There's no reason to believe he can use the man-eating bugs without making contact, otherwise someone like him who lacks taijutsu skills wouldn't risk getting up close and personal with a Juubi clone. It's obvious he did that because he NEEDS to.

First off, it wasn't Shino, it was a clone. That's Shino's fighting style clone feints, and long-mid range tactics. The DB even reinforces that it was a clone because the bugs are dangerous to harbor inside of the original's body. The reason the clone did what it did was because it was the simplest method at the time.

That's literally like saying Shino has to touch the character to put a bug on them... He didn't touch Kankuro yet the female beetle had made contact just off of a simple feint.

And yes, his bugs can handle poison. After they were subjected to Kankuro's poison they build an immunity to it, seen when his father (who has the same insects), used his beetles to eat away the poison. I mean their clans insects name are parasitic destruction beetles, they destroy parasites inside of the body...

The poison really doesn't matter as IS is destroying him without it lol

The bug summon is not the one that'll defeat Hidan. How many clones can Shino muster? He'd need 1000 to land a hand on Hidan, not some huge, mindless Juubi clone.

Clone feint -> Hidan disperses it -> Kidaichus implant themselves on Hidan's skin, then they devour him. Pretty simple.

I'm not debating that the bugs swarm and eat him alive eventually but Hidan's having nothing summoned inside of him. At least give him that, that he can fend off bugs for a while and a ninja with 1.5 lol

Shino doesn't summon bugs inside someone, they dig themselves into their target, and eat them alive. Shino's insects have been proven to be nigh undetectable when on the ground, so they could easily sneak up on Hidan, that or like I said a simple insect clone would end Hidan.

Once the insect clone is dispersed, the insects swarm & are planted on Hidan, who then is devoured by the Kidaichu. Lol you realize stats don't matter much regarding strategy correct? Shikamaru had a 2, and overall much worse stats than Hidan, yet we see he violated the hell out of Hidan with strategy. This is clearly no different.

How can you tell it is a clone?

Well, he still needs to get near, and those two aren't the same type of bugs anyways.

 

[Mellanoma]

As I stated before Shino's fighting style is wide area attacks and on top of that:

Shino's bugs swarm pretty fast

DB states so. The technique even states it can harm the host if kept inside of the body, so it only makes since to make a clone for a vessel.

They are the same species lol, all of the Aburame clans insects are beetles. No he doesn't need to get near.

I remember Shikamaru purposely avoiding physical combat and only had one moment where he exchanged blades with Hidan. Stats matter when there's such an obvious distinction between their agility and tai/kenjutsu. Shino wins but its certainly not up-close.

Konan, no chance.

Zetsu, sure. I never quite understood that guy's true abilities.

He can just run away. Those insects have no speed feats, and Tobi himself got caught deliberately to toy with them.

I'm confident Shino could beat Hidan especially since Shino is quite intelligent and hidan was a moron

Zetsu's true ability was intel and numbers

Shino vs Konan is debatable even if Shino would lose I still think it would be a great fight.

i suggest you look at the scans you quoted. Shino's bugs covered the entire area. You don't need speed when you can cover an entire area.

I never stated Shino would fight Hidan up close... I said a clone feint. Stats don't matter when you're able to form a basis of strategy, Shikamaru's fight shows this. Shikaku also shows this, the SA didn't have enough power to hinder the Jubi upfront, but with Shikakaru's strategy they were able to succeed through his notions.

Strategy is everything.

He would give Konan a great fight, I've no idea of her skill set though except for her paper ninjutsu properties so I can't discuss on that.

Yup he murders Zetsu.

Yeah Hidan goes down but he does put up a fight is all.

The Aburame clan already faced Konan. If they weren't taking an Akatsuki invasion in their village seriously and giving it their all then would they? Konan defeats him easily, the bugs were eating static paper Konan had shed and very slowly at that.

Sasori is just plain silly. Shino can try the tricks he pulled on Kankuro but it wouldn't get him a KO. Sasori can't be poisoned and this argument also implies Shino is stronger than Lady Chiyo???? Like, people actually think that?

I see. Alright, agree. Shino beats Hidan.

What are you talking about? I never said it wasn't a short range technique lmfao? DB states it was a clone, and Shino reinforces this by saying the insects are troublesome to harbor in the body, which makes sense as to why he used an insect clone to distribute the Kidaichu.
