Naruto Databook 4 "Naruto Jin no Sho"

Nara Shikamaru
Chuunin
“Even we can’t act like kids forever.”

Supporting the shadow of the next generation by all means, he must form the foundation of command of the great tree!!

Controlling shadows, he becomes a shadow himself. Shikamaru, with his distinct intelligence, refines every strategy. At times, he takes command of the battle formation, and at times he is the advisor to his friends. Yes, he knows the importance of supporting his friends from the shadows, and the weight of that responsibility.
Concealing the part of his nature that finds everything troublesome, Shikamaru became the guide of the next era. Carrying deep in his heart the “will of fire” that his father and teacher entrusted to him, he believes in his own plans and runs onto the battlefield!!

His tendency to find everything troublesome is unrivaled. However, his intelligence has shown a glimpse of his talent from the early stages.

Inheriting Great Will and Wisdom, He Tells a New Legend!!

Entrusted Feelings

Shikamaru grew up chasing after his father’s back since the time he was small. However, his goodbye came about unexpectedly… Shikaku’s death—as a shinobi, it may have been fate that he lost his life on a mission. However, the loss of his father was huge to Shikamaru. His father’s back floated through his mind… The things entrusted to him were “command,” and strong “feelings”… Taking responsibility for everything, Shikamaru looked up. He was able to resolve himself to inherit his father’s final will. Leave the rest to me—with a smile saying only this, Shikamaru conveyed his goodbye to his father, and with renewed determination, he runs towards the future!!

Ino Shika Chou

The boar bush clover, the deer maple, and the butterfly peony… As in hanafuda, when these three cards are gathered, natural power is displayed. The secrets passed down in Konoha since ancient times—the Nara clan’s “kage mane no jutsu,” the Yamanaka clan’s “shintenshin no jutsu,” and the Akimichi clan’s “baika no jutsu.” The “Ino Shika Chou” connection formed from these three is known even in other countries. “Ino Shika Chou” has been passed down for generations, and possesses the tremendous power to overcome any kind of ability!!
