That's not it!? Don't all insects look the same? (Japanese: どこが違うのさ!? 虫って同じに見えないか - Doko ga chigau no sa!? Mushitte onaji mienai ka) is episode 149 of the anime series Naruto.

[edit] Plot

The Episode begins with Tsunade bathing & drinking sake thinking how good peace and quiet is. Shizune walks out, VERY mad at her, yelling at her for slacking off

Shizune stops by the tub. "Hey! You don't have time to be drinking sake!".

Tsunade gets back to her desk and Shizune puts 3 piles of papers on there, Shizune: "When the village is at peace, you must get your work done quickly!"

Tsunade sighs: Why does the work pile only increase?

Shizune: It's because you don't finish it properly, one job at a time!

Tsunade grabs a report about how the Kamizuru clan is making strange movements. Tsunade wonders how this can be as most of them are wiped out and there are very few who remember them and dismisses it saying that it can't be very important. Then the attention focuses to Shino, Hinata, Kiba, and Naruto who are trying to find the Bikouchuu. Naruto complains about how all of the bugs look the same.

As the group moves through the forrest, Naruto remarks on the large number of bugs. Hinata worries aloud about getting bitten, but Shino puts her at ease, Shino: "There are hardly any bugs around here that can harm humans." As a last resort he reveals that he does have the Aburame clan's secret bug repellent, however they can't use it because it will repell the scent bug as well. Shino, Kiba, Hinata, and Naruto continue through the forrest but fail to notice that there are three other ninjas who are here, camoflauged to look like a boulder. They recognize Shino as a member of the Aburame Clan and continue to tail the group.It's revealed that they also want the Bikouchuu and will take it from Team Shino when they find it. Shino shows them a picture of the Bikouchuu, telling them to remember it and Naruto says that he has seen them when he leaves his dirty dishes around. Everybody besides Naruto knows that they are cockroaches. Naruto says that they look like the same thing but Team Kurenai says it isn't. The rock ninjas are seen developing a plan to steal the scent bug away from team Shino if/when they discover it, because "...they all look like genins."

Everyone looks for the bug, Naruto looks confused and remarks once again that, "All bugs look the same..." Shino uses Bug Collecting Technique, which makes all the bugs in the area come to him but none of them are it. The rock ninjas follow Shino and from a treetop Kiba and Akamaru see/smell something. Hinata looks at the butterflies and remembers that her father had told her not to be a burden.

Hinata focuses her Byukagan so she can see the bug and finds out that finding the bug is difficult but sees the rock ninjas. Hinata rushes to Shino and Kiba at a meeting place, but they had already noticed them and Kiba asks what they should do. Shino doesn't want to risk things getting out of hand and so decides that they won't make a move unless the Rock ninjas do. Hinata wonders if Naruto has spotted the other ninja's yet but Kiba assures her that, "If he did, he'd be going crazy by now." Shino tells the group not to inform Naruto about the other ninjas. Naruto suddenly runs toward them screaming audibly to everyone that he found it. Everyone is shocked, especially the rock Ninjas who think "They've already found it?!", "Impossible! And we spent ten days and couldn't find it!" Hinata is amazed but it unfortunately isn't the right bug, for it is a beetle. When Naruto comes again at sunset and says that he found it. He says that it has the same features but this bug is a giant!

Kiba: How would you make that catch a scent?! Damn it, you!

Naruto goes and pokes it on the nose while Shino says that it is a scent bug look alike and that if you touch its nose, it'll get angry and can eat humans. Naruto does this and the bug's eyes turn red. The bug jumps at Naruto making the sound of an elephant and chasing after them but misses. The bug heads to the tree where the Rock-nin are hiding and demolishes the tree. The female wonders if they can really find the scent bug.

They take a break for the day while Hinata still trains thinking about how she must perfect her chakra control otherwise she can't find small things like bugs. The rock-nin watch her and think of her as enthusiastic. By the next night, they still haven't made any progress. Naruto wakes up the next morning in a tree and Shino says that the atmosphere pressure is changing and Hinata says that she sees clouds far ahead, this may be their last chance. Naruto says that they will definitely find it but it is very close to raining after several hours but they still haven't found it. It appears it can rain any minute. The female ninja tells the other rock-nin that they'll wipe out the Aburame clan if the bug isn't found because it was the Aburame clan's fault that their clan collapsed. Kiba and Shino mull over the situation regarding the rock ninjas and come to the conclusion that they are waiting in hopes of stealing the scent bug. Kiba calls they "cheap bastards." It begins to rain heavily and Hinata thinks about how useless she was in the end. Naruto is still frantically searching and Hinata remembers that he said that he sticks to what he says. She decides to use the Byakugan one last time for the sake that how can she give up if Naruto hasn't.

Hinata uses the Byakugan and after pouring chakra into the technique she finds the bug close to Naruto after some trying. Naruto catches the Bikouchuu even after it arrempts to fly away and hugs Hinata, saying its all because of her. Hinata turns red in her face and faints for Naruto to be so close to her like that and because he is hugging her. Shino discovers that the bug laid an egg and it should mature the next day. At sunset when Hinata washes her face, two knives fly at her and the Rock-nin are impressed that she could dodge those. The female one uses the Bee Nectar technique, which causes a bunch of bees to come at Hinata and fire sticky nectar at her. She cuts them in half, but Hinata can't fight after using all of her chakra earlier, so a bee stings her and she falls asleep.

Team Shino minus Hinata are walking around when a kunai flies at Naruto. Kiba pushes him out of the way and sees that there is a note attached to it. The note says that they will exchagne Hinata for the Bikouchuu. Meanwhile Hinata is shown trapped in a beehive and surrounded by the three rock ninjas. End episode.

[edit] Trivia
