Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the Characters in this story

Shikamaru was lounging on the cool spring grass, watching the clouds. It was peaceful, but it did not last long he had to get back to his house. His mom and dad had an announcement to make, it was supposedly big, but he had his doubt.

"I guess I need to get going before my mom scary off the students at the ninja academy along with half of Konoagakure, how troublesome," he mumbled under his breath. After he got up he shook off the dirt on his pants and looked at his watch it was it was five minutes 'til five he had five minute to get back to his house or else. All of a sudden he felt like running and sprinted to his house.

He got to the front door panting heavily, with 30 seconds to spare. He opened the front door to reveal an empty room. He walks in and takes a seat on the couch. A short nap would not hurt he thought.

"Shikamaru, get up you lazy ass!" yelled Yoshino Nara right next to his ear.

"AHHHHHH," he yelled in shock and fear as he tumbled off the couch.

"Ok, good you're up," she said to him in a suddenly happy tone "let's get started."

"Son there is something we need to talk about now," Shikaku Nara started in a squeaky voice out of fear from his wife. "We need you to perform an S- rank mission."

"Why didn't the Hokage tell me this?" Shikamaru said in a mixture of confused and a fearful tone.

"Because of the massive number of meetings and ambassadors visiting this time of year," his dad replied calming down a bit "This could not wait."

"What a drag, do I have to?" he complained.

"Yes, this you are the only one with the right qualities to have a chance to complete this mission," he answered.

Shikamaru grunted that was not the answer he was looking for, his mom knocked him up side the head that was not the answer she was looking for either.

"Ouch, what was that for."

She hit him again "Because, you should not complain it should be exciting to go on your first S- rank mission" the Jōnin said in a slightly yelling tone.

"Some how I feel like this should not the happiest moment ever." He retorted

"That you just being lazy," she replied angrily "Shikaku tell him about his mission."

"This is obviously a very important mission; what you need to do is infiltrate a village and scout it out, it is as simple as that" He said in a very calm and causal way.

"Ok, if that is it, there is no need for it to be an S-rank mission," he replied.

"True, but there is more the reason for assigning this mission S- rank status,"

"Ok continue, why me."

"There is an Akatsuki there trying to locate something, but we can not figure out what"

"Why me,"

"Because this mission requires stealth and someone with a young age,"

"Ok, where do I have to go?"

"To the Land of Valleys,"

"How long do I have to stay?"

"About three years,"

"What!"

"Just kidding," He chucked "Only about six months at max"

"What is the Minimum," he grunted half joking.

"Six months"

"Seriously!"

"Unfortunately"

Shikamaru grunted, and dodge the attack that he thought was coming, but didn't come. He started to relax until she hit him hard out the still open door. He scooted across the dirt, and then got up grunted again and walked off

"Wait, did you have to kick him out before we told he about the rest of his team,"

"He will figure it out when he get there,"

"he could blow his cover if the other person is like you,"

WHACK! "OW what was that for,"

"Idiot" she growled storming out of the room
