Friends You Can Count On

is episode 236 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

It starts with Naruto seeing a bug and trying to remember a person who liked bugs back home. In the Leaf Village Shino is teaching his students about the value of having friends at your backs. Shino tells them a story of when he failed to bring down a bandit because of his in ability to use tai-jutsu (close-combat). He secludes himself to work alone when Kiba and Hinata say that Sensei Kurenai wants them to go to a hotsprings much to Kiba's distaste. As they rest Kiba and Shino both are in the springs and then Shino pees out bugs! Kiba yells so loud saying: What the hell is this?!? That Hinata can hear from the other spring. The next day he learns taijutsu from Hinata and Kiba teaches him a few things too. It shows the springs and again Kiba is yelling, and it shows Hinata out of the water with a towel worrying. The next day a messenger pidgeon from Kurenai says that the bandit is in the area. Kiba and Hinata go ahead leaving Shino, who had said just before that he didn't feel qualified to be on their team, much to Kiba's and Hinata's shock. Hinata uses byakugan to track the bandit but the bandit traps them using bug themed and fire style jutsu like Fire Hurricane. Just when it looks they've been beaten Shino comes in a saves them and they all attack to finish him off. Kurenai see's the whole thing and comes out to congratulate them. It shows the hot spring again and Kurenai and Hinata are talking in the water, when Kiba yells again. Shino then ends his lesson. Then Naruto is on the boat and looks as if he remembers the bug user but he gives up. Shino then sneezes and looks off into the distance.

Note: First ever episode when Shino is seen peeing, naked with someone, and practicing tai-jutsu. P.S: Shino peeing out bugs? HILARIOUS!
