who is shikamaru

Choji can be an interesting addition. He has a long - standing friendship with Shikamaru and his unique eating - based jutsu can be a valuable asset in battles in the fanfiction. With Ino, he can provide some comical relief as well as a different type of fighting style. Also, Kakashi could be paired with them. His vast experience and diverse jutsu knowledge can guide Ino, Shikamaru and the others, and his laid - back but serious attitude can be a great influence on the group.

Sakura might also be paired with Shikamaru. She could be in need of Shikamaru's help when she is facing a medical emergency in a battle situation and Shikamaru uses his shadow blade to fend off the attackers while Sakura tries to save a wounded comrade.

It could be a group of rogue ninjas. They might see Shikamaru as a valuable asset due to his intelligence and strategic skills. They could plan to sell him to the highest bidder or use him to carry out their own devious schemes.

Shikamaru and Temari are the main characters. Shikamaru, with his love for cloud - gazing and his knack for out - thinking opponents. And Temari, with her powerful wind - based jutsu and her no - nonsense attitude. In the context of their married life in the fanfiction, they are the ones whose relationship is explored, their daily interactions, their arguments, and their moments of love and support are all centered around them.

However, Naruto also has a lot to offer. So, in a way, they could be mutual mentors. Naruto's unwavering determination and his experience in facing powerful foes could inspire Shikamaru to be more bold in his actions. So, it's not necessarily a one - way mentorship.

Another possibility is a new and powerful enemy from a neighboring village. This enemy might view fem Naruto as a symbol of the strength of her village and wants to take her out to weaken the village. Shikamaru then has to protect her from this external threat.

There could be an internal antagonist within Konoha as well. Maybe a jealous ninja who has always had a crush on Shikamaru or envied Ino's skills. This person could spread false rumors about Ino's pregnancy, causing unnecessary stress and drama for the couple. They might try to drive a wedge between Shikamaru and Ino during this vulnerable time.

Sasuke could be a likely ally. Despite their past differences, Sasuke might see the injustice in Naruto and Shikamaru's banishment and decide to help them. He has his own reasons to oppose the village's wrongdoings at times.

It really depends on the specific fanfiction. However, it could be that they travel back to a time when Orochimaru was at his most devious, so he would be a main antagonist. His experiments and thirst for power could pose a great threat to Naruto and Shikamaru's mission in the past.

There could be a power - hungry shinobi within Konoha itself. He is jealous of the bond between Naruto and Shikamaru and how they are getting stronger together. So, he tries to set them up, making it seem like they are betraying the village. He wants to break their friendship and take their place as a respected ninja in the village.
