Shino Aburame Character Guide
Who Is Shino Aburame?
Shino Aburame is a shinobi of Konohagakure 's Aburame clan. Quiet, and at times off-putting to some, Shino puts his clan's insect-based techniques to use on Team Kurenai. In later years, Shino became a jōnin and an Academy teacher. Shino at one time grew up alongside Torune Aburame as his family took him in under guardianship after Torune's father, Shikuro Aburame, passed away.
Shino Aburame’s Role in Naruto
Despite their different views about friendship, Shino grew close to Torune, viewing him as an older brother. Torune even revealed to Shino his unique breed of microscopic insects. One day, Danzō Shimura approached the two young Aburame with the desire to recruit another young member of a secret technique-using clan for Root.
Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact
While Danzō had the authority to do so and expressed interest in Shino, not wanting Shino to live a life of loneliness, Torune offered himself, appealing to Danzō by revealing who his father was. Knowing that he would probably never see Torune again but wanting to remain close to his brother-figure in some way, Shino harvested some of Torune's insects and spent years refining his bug breeding technique to produce new beetles that inherited traces of Torune's insects. After enrolling into the Academy and being placed in Iruka Umino 's class, he met Kiba Inuzuka, whom he numerously became irritated at due to the pair having polar opposite personalities.
