Shino vs Torune: Born as Brothers. Reunited as Enemies. Freed as Friends.
During the Third Great Ninja War, Kabuto Yakushi revived Torune Aburame using Edo Tensei. Torune was given a deadly mission — to prepare the Jar of Poison Technique and eliminate shinobi with a cloud of fatal toxins.
While Torune was preparing the technique, he was discovered by Aburame Shino. Their confrontation wasn’t just a battle — it was a reunion of once-close comrades.
“Torune… you were like a brother to me. I never imagined we’d meet again like this.”
Moved by emotion, Shino surrounded him with a swarm of insects, hoping to free him. But Kabuto seized direct control and activated Rinkaichū, microscopic poisonous beetles that wiped out Shino’s swarm instantly.
Close Combat Clash: Shino vs Torune Intensifies
Shino launched an attack with a kunai, engaging Torune in close quarters. Despite Shino’s determination, Torune’s Root training gave him the upper hand. He delivered a fierce kick, sending Shino flying into a pit filled with toxic gas.
In the nick of time, a Naruto shadow clone saved him from falling.
This marked the beginning of Shino and Naruto vs Torune, a tactical alliance formed under fire.
Planning Under Pressure: Naruto Shino vs Torune
Shino quickly explained the situation to Naruto. They realized they had to work together to stop Torune without being touched — any contact meant certain death due to the poisonous insects on Torune’s body.
“He’s not just a revived enemy… he’s someone I knew. Someone I respected.”
Torune unleashed a deadly poisonous mist. In response, Shino sacrificed another swarm of insects to absorb the toxin and shield both ninja.
Rasengan and Betrayal: Naruto vs Torune
Naruto charged into battle, attacking cautiously. He eventually struck with a powerful Rasengan, severing Torune’s arm. Thinking they had gained the advantage, Naruto let down his guard.
But Torune’s arm regenerated. He counterattacked — fast and lethal. At the last second, Shino stepped in and took the blow, collapsing instantly.
Immunity Unleashed: The True Power of Shino
Everyone believed Shino was dead, poisoned by Torune’s touch. But he rose moments later, unharmed. Calmly, he revealed his secret.
“Long ago, I tasked a part of my swarm to develop immunity to your Rinkaichū.”
Over the years, his immune insects evolved and passed on their resistance. Now, Shino summoned a swarm of immune beetles, who immobilized Torune without perishing.
Shino sealed his friend’s soul, offering one final farewell.
“Rest in peace, Torune. You were never meant to be a weapon.”
