"Who are you...?" It wasn't a request, it was a demand. A demand from me to this boy. I looked down at him, a Genin from the Leaf, by the looks of his headband.

"Who. Are. You? Or have you forgotten that already?" I asked, removing the blindfold. He spat out blood, and looked up at me with lazy, yet challenging.

"...Nara Shikamaru." I smiled slightly, surprising him.
