Intelligence: Gifted (Shino has shown himself to be quite intelligent, being able to use his analytical and observational skills to make shrewd decisions with pinpoint reasoning. Shino prevails in battles by systematically staying several steps ahead of the enemy, as well as keeping a good distance away to avoid his enemies' attacks.Naruto: Chapter 69, Pages 14-19Naruto: Chapter 126, Pages 15-19 Shino can also tell the number of people in an area by putting his ear to the groundNaruto: Chapter 58, Pages 7-10. Since becoming an Academy teacher, Shino has become well-versed in the various basic attack patterns and battle methods of shinobi combat, able to easily anticipate most tactics his opponents launch on him)
Weaknesses: The Kikaichū were initially not adapted to underwater environments, hindering their use in water (However, Shino was able to overcome this weakness in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations by employing Kikaichū that had adapted to these environments)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique: Shortly after a member of the Aburame clan is born, thousands of insects are allowed to colonise his or her body. In exchange for getting to feed off of their host's chakra, the insects follow the host's every command: from attack to defence to reconnaissance, and everything in between. The insects inevitably become the core ability of the Aburame's entire fighting style, upon which all of their other jutsu rely. This technique, alternatively translated as "Kikaichū Technique", is named after the kikaichū, the species of insects that Aburame are most commonly colonised by. But they are not the only option: Torune uses rinkaichū and Yōji used kochū. Aburame are not even restricted to a single species: Shino uses both kikaichū and kidaichū; Muta uses kikaichū and shōkaichū.
**Insect Jamming Technique: The user has a large amount of their kikaichū spread out over a wide area around themselves, having them emit a small amount of the chakra they usually feed on to confuse sensor-type shinobi. As the insects' irregular distribution and grouping together result in the creation of numerous chakra signals, it makes it more difficult to distinguish the user's actual location.
**Insect Clone Technique: An Aburame has thousands of their kikaichū gather together until they've taken on the size and appearance of the Aburame, to be used either as a decoy or a diversion. The insect clone can be created anywhere that the kikaichū are positioned or sent to, making it more useful for certain tasks than a shadow clone. When the insect clone is struck, it disperses back into a swarm of kikaichū.
**Parasitic Giant Insect — Bug Bite: Following an Aburame clan member placing a number of kidaichū onto the skin of an enemy, these insects immediately burrow into the victim's body and begin to devour its flesh and chakra. This process causes the insects to grow rapidly in size, until the host body is completely eaten away from the inside out.
