Shikamaru, your intelligence, brilliant tactics, and strategies, you will lead the team in battle and evasion tactics. Kiba, your keen sense of smell is ideal for tracking. Naruto, your will to fight and win, you will provide strength for the team, and Ino, your one of the best medic kunoichi in the village, and you can extract intel with your mind transfer jutsu.

She told him she was fine and acted that way as well, on the inside she was experiencing pain and she didn't know how to deal with it she thought she was over Sasuke. Shikamaru went home and prepared the rest of his things, and as soon as everyone got done they left the village and were on their way to the village hidden in the sound.
