[ To be fair, Shino himself doesn't have a strong sense of the particulars in history, having other focusses in a life presumed short by every doctor who'd examined him, and then having catch-up learning for no pointed purpose after he'd turned into a demon container for (in a way) the church and his own survival, to stay with Hamaji and force Sousuke and Yoshiro to stay with them too.
