Shino Aburame

Shino Aburame is a supporting character in the Naruto anime/manga series and the Boruto series. 
He is a friend of Naruto and a few others such as Shikamaru and Hinata. He is a member of the Aburame Clan, which allows him to use small flying beetles to get into enemies' bodies, so the beetles can feed on the enemies' chakra. He has quite a few jutsus including Parasitic Insects Typhoon and many others. He has been in lots of the Naruto video games one being Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. He was known for killing one of the minor villains in Naruto who worked for Orochimaru named Zaku Abumi. In Boruto, he became an instructor of Konoha Academy to replace Iruka Umino.
He is voiced by Shinji Kawada in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Derek Stephen Prince in the English version.
==Personality==
Since his early childhood, Shino has been a calm, collected, silent, solemn, and solitary person, who is quite mysterious, which didn't help by him rarely showing any emotions and choice of apparel which reinforced such image. Despite such lone wolf disposition that he doesn't have much attachments with others, he gets along with Hinata very well but not so much with Kiba. Much like Shikamaru, he is very bright, able to plan his moves before attacking.
Shino's favorite food is veges salad, his least favorite foods are tofu balls and food that has a strong scent. His favorite hobby is observing bugs. As bugs/insects aficionado, he compares everything he does to bugs/insects, and generally makes everything come back to them, in a skillful analogy or comparison.
In the anime series proper and omakes, Shino's characterization is much more fleshed out. He's aware that his mysterious and lone wolf disposition made him prone to be left out by others. He displayed aversion to the sight of insects/bugs getting killed to the point of easily losing his composure often in comical fashion, likening it to psychological torture.
==Appearance==
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 colour.
Shino is a fair-skinned ninja and the tallest member of his graduating class. He has dark, bushy, brown hair and dark, 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.
In all of Shino's appearances, he has been shown wearing his signature round and dark glasses. Even Hinata, his team-mate, did not know what his eyes truly looked like. However, for a brief moment, Shino's eye profile was shown. Shino seems to have somewhat narrow dark eyes that point near the end.
==Story==
===Overview===
Shino is a very mysterious character in Naruto series since he doesn't show up as much as other characters. Shino is apart of the Aburame clan. They have special types of bugs that feed off their chakra. In return the bugs do whatever they say. He uses the insects for attacking, defeating, and cheating. He calls some techniques Bug Host and Bug Clone which makes a clone out of bugs.The bugs are very harmful to other ninja because they feed on chakra. At birth, these small chakra consuming bugs are sent into the newborns body, letting them live off of it, but you getting to use them for your own will, as long as they have chakra to feed on.
Shino's whole family wears sunglasses. People always think that there is something wrong with his eyes. There is nothing actually wrong with his eyes, but he might see like a bug. 
===Chunin Exams===
The first part of the Chunin Exams they have to take an extremely hard test but can't cheat. Many people cheat and Shino is one of them. He uses a bug that flies to another person's sheet and can get the answer. He passes it along with his teammates who decided to stay for the tenth question.
In the second part, Shino uses his bugs to take the other ninja's scroll.
He makes a leech attack on the rival and they fall into a trap. They soon died a slow, painful, and silent death due to the life sucking insects taking him as their host.
In the third part of the chuunin exams during the Preliminary Matches, Shino had the upper hand since Sasuke broke one of Zaku's arms. Zaku's Zankuuha was almost beating Shino at first, but he pulled it off at the end by using his insects to plug the Zankuuha up so nothing could come out of it. When Zaku tried to use it again, the chakra couldn't go out of his arm, so it started to build up and then burst out his arm and Zaku lost. After Hinata lost to Neji, he was shocked and disgusted at Neji for trying to kill her.
==Abilities==
Shino's main ability is to control bugs. He can use them for a varied amount of affects. His main form of attack is a swarm of bugs the size able to cover a whole person. Many of his bugs are poisonous and can incapacitate and enemy if they manage to poison an enemy. They can also allow Shino to track his enemies like a tracking device if Shino can plant a bug on his enemies. His bugs can also form humanoid masses that he can make look like himself, effectively looking like duplicates of Shino.
While battling Shino has a great amount of intelligence. He can make shrewd judgements with accurate reasoning. Like the character Shikamaru he usually wins by staying many steps ahead of the opponent. With his coincidence of winning Shino warns the opponent about what they will face. His power seems near unlimited, as he has shown no limit yet to how many bugs he can control or use to combat anyone, and always wins his fights. He has been shown to receive maybe one or two injuries (only one of them actually being capable of killing him) the entire Naruto series, even taking on the Akatsuki Leader and almost winning, if it weren't for his strange abilities.
