THE COMMON SENSE Naruto Special
Summer Breeze and Deadly Kunai
After visiting the sick Temari-san from the sand, Shikamaru made his way to Neji's place to give the jounin a highly restricted information from Kakashi. They knew that Akatsuki is moving fast heading towards the Leaf as they speak. Shikamaru's being bothered by the different trembling of his heart. After talking to Neji, he went for a snack at Ichiaku Ramen and found his Sensei smoking there.
'Oh, Shikamaru, it's good to see you here. You've been working hard lately.' his teacher said.
"It's been a very troublesome week. And the liaison from the Sand is still in bad condition." Skikamaru answered while sitting down.
'I see.'
Shikamaru ordered for a simple ramen.
'I'll treat you this time.' his Sensei said while smiling.
"Well, that's just like you Sensei, thanks though."
Again, Shikamaru's heart trembles like it was going to explode. He looked at his teacher intently like finishing a picture or an old puzzle. There was a relaxing summer breeze in the air.
'Listen Shikamaru, the time will come, that you will have to protect the greatest man in shougi. Though, you're just a pawn, or maybe a knight, or a rook, it doesn't matter, you have to protect the king no matter what.'
"It's really troublesome hearing you talk like that Sensei. We've been protecting the Hokage since we're born. We are ought to die protecting this village."
'I'm not talking about the Hokage, Shikamaru. The Hokage is strong enought to protect herself. What I mean is the other King at your shougi board.'
"Another King?"
'When the time comes, you'll know.'
Then his Sensei went-off smoking again. Shikamaru felt that it was somehow the last of the ramens that his teacher offered him. And the last piece of advice.
