Hi, Saile aipasさん！！

To be honest, I'm not sure why Masashi Kishimoto designed her kimono like this. But I guess that this design is because of functional reason.

Sleeves of kimono are too obstacle for a wearer to move actively (heavy physical work and so on). So, kimono wearers sometimes bare one or both shoulder(s) to move.

(cf. Japanese language has a word "片肌脱ぐ", means (1) "bare one shoulder" and (2) "give assistance". Because when we wear kimono and do hard work, we bare one shoulder like this: http://smile.skog-web.com/?day=20111104 )

So, I guess that Shizune wear such a kimono to move actively....
