One possible fanfiction could start with Naruto being assigned to a team with Shikamaru for a simple village - protection task. At first, Shikamaru complains about having to work with the noisy Naruto. However, when a group of rogue ninjas attacks the village, Naruto's quick reflexes and Shikamaru's ability to analyze the situation save the day. After that, they start to hang out more. Naruto is always eager to play pranks, and Shikamaru, though reluctant at first, starts to enjoy Naruto's company. They often sit under a tree, with Naruto talking about his dreams of becoming Hokage and Shikamaru sharing his thoughts on life and strategy.
A plot idea could be that Naruto and Shikamaru are paired for a long - term mission in a foreign land. There, they have to rely on each other completely. Naruto's ability to make friends with the locals quickly helps them gather information, while Shikamaru's planning ensures their safety. They face many challenges together, like dealing with local bandits and surviving in harsh terrains. Through these experiences, they develop a deep respect and friendship for each other.
In a small, dimly lit room in Konoha, Naruto and Shikamaru were on a mission that had exhausted them both. Naruto, with his usual boisterous energy all but drained, flopped onto the futon. Shikamaru soon joined him, too tired to even think about his usual strategic musings. As Naruto drifted off to sleep, his breathing became steady. Shikamaru watched him for a moment, a small smile on his face. He then closed his eyes and let the peace of the moment overtake him, and they slept side by side, their friendship a silent bond even in slumber.
One aspect that fanfictions about Shikamaru's mom often touch on is her relationship with the other clans in Konoha. She is part of the Nara clan, and her interactions with clans like the Uchiha or Hyuga can be really fascinating. In some fanfics, she might be involved in diplomatic efforts between the clans. Also, her influence on Shikamaru's choice of friends and allies can be explored. For example, if Shikamaru is friends with Naruto, how does she feel about that?
Sakura and Shikamaru's Engagement. One sunny day in Konoha, Sakura was going about her usual business in the hospital when Shikamaru showed up. He seemed a bit more nervous than usual. After some stuttering, he finally pulled out a simple yet elegant ring and asked Sakura to marry him. Sakura, with tears of joy in her eyes, said yes.
It's possible that in some very niche or dark fanfictions, Naruto Shikamaru could be presented as a sociopath. But this is a huge deviation from his canonical character. In the original series, Shikamaru is known for his laziness on the surface but deep down he has a strong sense of duty and connection to those around him. Fanfiction writers may use the idea of him being a sociopath to add an edgy or different perspective, but it goes against the essence of who he is in the official story. For example, his relationships with Naruto, Choji, and others show his capacity for friendship and loyalty, which is the opposite of sociopathic behavior.
In many Naruto fanfictions focused on this team's romance, one common theme could be the slow - burning relationship between characters. For example, Shikamaru might be initially oblivious to the feelings of a female teammate. Shino, on the other hand, could be the more observant one, secretly helping to nudge the relationships forward. The team's dynamics would add an interesting layer to the romance, as they are all so different in personality. Their ninja training and missions could also play a part in the development of these romantic relationships, with shared experiences bringing them closer together.
One idea could be that they go on a special mission to a hidden village. Naruto's enthusiasm, Sasuke's power and Shikamaru's intelligence combine to solve the mystery of the village's strange disappearances. They face many challenges along the way, like tricky traps and powerful enemies. Naruto uses his Rasengan, Sasuke his Chidori, and Shikamaru his shadow jutsu to fight their way through.
In such a fanfiction, Naruto might first encounter Tora while on a mission in the village. He could use his kind-hearted nature to gain Tora's trust. For example, Naruto might share his food with Tora, which is a simple yet effective way to start a friendship. Then, they could go on little adventures together around the village, like exploring hidden corners or chasing after little critters.
In the 'Naruto Befriends Kurama Fanfiction', the two main characters are Naruto and Kurama. Naruto, a protagonist known for his never - give - up attitude and his desire to be accepted. He sees Kurama not just as a power source but as a being worthy of friendship. Kurama, a fearsome and powerful nine - tailed fox, is initially hostile but gradually warms up to Naruto as Naruto tries to reach out to him. Their interactions drive the story forward.
In a fanfiction of Shikamaru and Temari's love, it could be that Temari is sent to Konoha on a diplomatic mission. Shikamaru is assigned to be her guide. At first, they bicker like old times. But as they spend more days together, they start to see each other in a new light. Shikamaru notices the small things about Temari, like how she cares for her team. Temari realizes that Shikamaru is not just lazy but has a deep sense of loyalty. Eventually, a spark of love ignites between them, and they have to navigate their feelings while also dealing with the politics between their villages.
