Despite my lovely icons, Ino is actually taken from the beginning of the timeskip, since there was no post timeskip canon for her when I got her. I'm sort of planning on aging her up. Well. Somehow. Who knows, it may just happen, because I suck that way.
...Ino is going to nag you. With love. And mostly nagging.
What we've seen of ShikaIno interaction since the jump is mostly her coming to round up Shikamaru and Chouji, and Shikamaru saying that it's not worth it to argue with her. XD;;
Sadly, I just cleaned out my harddrive, and don't have the manga chapters here anymore. Hopefully someone else can help you with that.
Neji is post timeskip, pretty much taken from right before he reappears in the manga. And ohgodIfakeit on it personality, since we haven't really seen how he's developed since the Sasuke-in-a-bucket arc.
Itachi is not post time skip, though I don't know that it matters a great deal for him in particular. He's from right in the middle of the skipped period of time. He's nineteen right now. He'll be twenty in a couple of weeks. So the only Itachi stuff you need to worry about knowing about is the stuff that happened when he was first introduced. Which is...episodes 81-85. I think. I'm not sure of the manga chapters, because I lost them all when I switched computers in the beginning of the year. Basically Itachi mindfucks Kakashi and Sasuke during these episodes, and is just generally badass, enigmatic and evil. Also, the flashbacks are important in that I take a lot of my characterization of Itachi from my interpretation of them
( ... )
Have AIM. Have fast connection. Not entirely sure my computer won't shut down if I attempt it. Long story. I'll see if I can watch those five. I'll probably ask for more eps when I've finished watching those.
Hm... I'm going to go with: has probably seen a picture or heard a description of him so recognition is yes.
Oh! Forgot to mention the flashbacks I'm referring to are the ones from episodes 129-131. But I don't really think it's essential you watch those. Unless you just want to. XD
Um, I can see if I can figure out what the manga chapters for 81-85 would be, if that would be easier for you.
Hm... Post chuunin pre-barrel... should be somewhere around ._.; wow I need to look back though those. Oh Lord. I think it's before vol 20.... I just don't remember what volume 20 entails exactly. Oh yeah before volume 20 which means I don't have it. Also need to DL those. Fun.
...eheheh. I haven't watched any of the anime, and I currently just have chapters up to the time skip. I'd gladly help you get them, too, except I got THOSE because Ishida-mun burned them to a disc and gave them to me and I don't really have the internet speed to upload them for you. ^^;
HOWEVER. Seems like everyone's generally been taken either from the point where the timeskip begins, or when they appear again after the timeskip.
...
...I am not as much help as I had hoped I would be.
Heh. Well, early June I'd briefly have access to fast internet again, but I doubt you'd want to wait that long and I'm not sure I'd have time to upload the whole bunch of chapters because wow, pre-timeskip is actually a pretty big group of chapters. HOW IS NARUTO SUCH A LONG SERIES FMA IS ONLY 59 CHAPTERS SO FAR XD
Heh, Ryuuken didn't find out until the other day, himself. I like to think it was because I was truly ninja with Shino, but then again I'm not playing him anymore because I was insecure with him, so I can't really say that and now I'm rambling. Uh...there might've been somewhere I was going with that, but I forgot.
If you can't download those links Itachi gave you, I have all of the manga I can burn and send if you like.
I haven't watched the anime... well. Since whenever the fillers started, so probably round-about when you stopped. Went totally manga after that. You really should be in a fairly decent place since Shika hasn't shown much post-skip. I think you'll be fine!
I took Naruto from just before he returns to Konoha from traveling with Jiraiya. Sasuke.. well. Technically, he's been skipped for a while and we never said, because we had no idea what to expect of him, but we officially skipped him the past weekend. I.. can't actually remember *when* he's taken from, though. I'm not actually sure I ever knew.
There's some other things, but it'd probably be easier to just get everyone in a chat room to hash things out if possible?
Out of curiosity, where are you located? Sasuke, Itachi and I are East Coast, Ino's West, Kabuto's London annnd. I think Sakura and Lee are west? I have no idea about Kimimaro.
(could answer better if i wasn't running out the door to work GAH SO LATE D:)
Yay! I'll keep that option open. Thank you.
Heh yeah, Filler made me skip to the manga. I was doing good until it started, and then I completely wtfed.
Point and idea. I'll be on "early" tonight, but I'm probably also crashing early ish since I've only had 3 hours of sleep. I'll try to catch people in the chan tonight, and figure out how to get a hold of Kabuto eventually.
So very east coast, here. Kimi and I have never had any kinds of problems playing so far. ~_^♥
I'm generally on aim from 2-ish in the afternoon till about that time in the a.m., though more often than not it's idled since I'm doing other things. IRC is just too chaotic for me, I can't keep up and I never get pm notifications, which drives me nuts, so I'm almost never on anymore. You can catch Neji, Sasuke, Itachi and I almost always on aim after 7ish. Kabuto, I believe, only uses msn, and I've never been able to catch up with him live, just via a handful of emails.
I don't know that I'm going to be up late tonight either - I've gotten about an hour more sleep than you (thanks, Kishimoto, you h0r -_-), but we'll all get together somehow!
I've got the aim you have in Kaza's profile buddied - if I see you pop on, shall I pm you?
...and I just realized I did this on my real account, and I have a meeting to run to and ack, no time to swap!
Hah. I'm not actually on AIM very much, but I do use it occasionally. Have someone kick me if you need me on it sometime. It's what most of my friends have to do. ^_^;;
AND I SHOULD BE ASLEEP! OH GOD D: -_-; (get the feeling this is going to become a pattern?)

Hm... winging it with Neji is a go.
=_= I feel so unprepared for this.

You'll do fine! I have confidence.

See? This is why I have to be careful when I'm hyper-exhausted. I do stuff like this. Will be changing that shortly.
Familiar ground. That is a good thing.

You're awesome help, and I can't believe I didn't know you had been Shino. I feel desperately out of the loop here.
