Chapter 1: Shikamaru's hair

You may wonder how Shikamaru got his hair in such

a high ponytail, so high in fact, that it makes Shikamaru's head resemble a fruit called a pineapple. Some may wonder if Shikamaru ever took out the ponytail. The fact is, Shikamaru did not get his hair in the high ponytail, and he never did take it out. The fact of the matter is, that, when Shikamaru was a baby, Shikamaru's dad put what little hair Shika had in a high ponytail with a rubber band. From then on, Shikamaru's hair just grew that way, and he never noticed it. Well, until his dad told him about it.

Chapter 2: Why Shikamaru is so lazy.

There are many reasons why Shikamaru is so lazy. Reason 1: The first words Shikamaru remembered hearing were, "Don't be troublesome," Then an audible snort, probably from Shika's mom responding to his dad's comment. Reason 2: Shikamaru used to be very obedient. So when he heard the words " Relax and be lazy," he obeyed them. Being obedient also led to his like of watching clouds and saying, "This is/How troublesome."

Reason 3: When Shika's parents first explained 'Shadow Mane' to him, he didn't quite get it. So he went through a phase where he copied whatever his parents did, so he, copying his father, one day said "This is trouble some, why can't I be lazy?" This also resulted in Shika's mom slapping his dad, screeching, "I told you not to put the wrong ideas into his head!" Unfortunately, Shika's dad was standing in between Shika and his mom. Shika had not gotten over the phase of copying his parents, and assaulted his attack prone father.
