Ok, I've been to quite a few Naruto fan forums and whenever a topic about strong side characters come up. Shino gets mentioned. Everyone who like Shino act like he's some powerful ninja. How can ppl judge him from one fight in which he barely came out a alive from?!

He seems like a smart kid like Shika suring battle but he really hasn't shown or done anything to impress me yet alone get an idea on how strong he is. Heck he wasn't even in the team to fight the sound ninjas?!

Ur thoughts please, or enlighten me on an episode where he shows a lot of power?
