Chapter 6: Are we Ready

Later that night, Shikamaru and Temari went to his room while the kids returned to theirs. They agreed to make every moment count because they were not sure what was going to happen during the war. In his room, Temari sat in a chair next to his desk, while he sat on the edge of his bed. Him and Temari had been talking all night about random things, trying to keep their minds off the fate of the war.

"So crybaby, when did you realized that you like me"

"What type of question is that"

"One I want you to answer, so when was it"

"When we worked together during the chunin exams. Everything about that time made me notice that you weren't all that troublesome"

"That's sweet, even for Shikamaru standards"

"What's that suppose to mean"

"I just never pictured you as the romantic type, that's all"

"So what about you"

"What are you talking about"

"When did you start having feelings for me"

"I guess once you became my escort. You always made sure that I was taken care of. Even though you were my escort, you did more than what was needed. And that moment you were outside waiting for me was the day I realized that I love you." She blushed, the words just slipped out of her mouth. Hoping that he didn't catch that she continued on. "A lazyass like you, waking up early in the morning really meant something to me"

A smile crept on to his face. 'Did she say that she loves me, I'm glad feelings are mutual'

"I'd do anything for the person I love"

"Back at you crybaby"

They continued to talk, the air was getting colder and colder. Every time she talked her teeth chattered and she was beginning to turn blue.

"Tem are you cold"

"No, why do you ask"

"Because you're turning blue, come get in my bed. I was just about to lay on the couch anyways"

"Fine, but you don't have to sleep on the couch. You're bed is big enough for the both of us"

"Are you sure, I just don't want to rush things"

"Get in the damn bed before I change my mind, besides your parents and kids are down the hall"

"And the troublesome Temari is back"

"What the hell did you say"

"Nothing"

"Good, now hurry up. I'm freezing"

They got under the covers, Shikamaru put a hand around her waist and pulled her to his chest. Her cheeks were glowing red. "I'm glad you're enjoying this"

"Shut up, ass" He knew she enjoyed this because she snuggled tightly into his chest and they fell asleep like this.

Morning came and the whole house woke up to Yoshino screaming. "Breakfast is downstairs"

"How am I suppose to get out of here"

"I'll get your bags, I'm pretty sure my parents are downstairs"

As he was walking across the hall he ran into his dad who was already dressed.

"I know she's in your room, I heard the conversation last night. I would've expected her to lose her composure about the kids, but she stayed calm" Shikaku said as he walked passed his son who jaw dropped.

Shikamaru continued to walk into the kids room and saw that they were still sleep. He walked over to Shikadai and began to shake his shoulder. Eventually his eyes began to open.

"I know it's a drag, but you have to get up. I know you don't want to hear her nagging."

"Fine"

"Wake your sister up too"

He grabbed the bag and walked back to his room.

"My dad knows"

"Knows what"

"about us"

"What did he say"

"He really didn't say anything, but I know he's glad that we're together"

"I hope, now that I'm going to be here more often"

At the table, Yoshino had put the prepared breakfast in front of them.

"I know it's not extravagant, but last night I was so focused on the dinner that I forgot to pick up things for breakfast."

The meal consisted of octopus and hard-boiled eggs. Temari hated octopus and Shikamaru hated hard-boiled eggs and because of this, their kids developed a dislike for both. Yoshino noticed that Temari was only eating the eggs and purposely avoiding the octopus. "Is something wrong with the squid Temari"

"No, Yoshino-san. Everything is fine"

"She doesn't like octopus mom"

"Why didn't you tell me, I would've made something else for you. You guys aren't eating either whats the problem"

Shikaku put two and two together. 'They must of inherited their parents taste'

"Hon, I don't think the kids like the food choices"

"Okay, while we are here let's discuss what food we like and the food we hate"

"Well I don't like hard-boiled eggs but you knew that already"

"Shut up Shikamaru, you are not a guest. You will eat whatever I cook"

"What a drag"

"Now Temari tell me"

"My favorite food is chestnuts and Kenchinjiru"

"Kids what about you"

They both answered at the same time. "Kenchinjiru and Mackeral cooked with miso"

"That's Shikamaru favorite food too. I'm glad you all like the same food, It'll be less work for me"

Tsunade had recently woken up from her coma and called a private meeting between her Kakashi and Shikaku.

"So, Shikaku. Have you come up with a plan"

"Yes, we will need Chakra induction paper"

"What for, they told me everything"

"We are not sure if they did, besides it would help us gain information"

"Kakashi, bring them one by one"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade"

Kakashi brought each kid one by one and discussed the results afterward.

"Only Chunin and higher can fight in the war, we need to make that happen within the next week. Shikaku come up with some test like the chunin exams, we can use that to make them become chunin."

"I doubt that we'll be able to get them all in one spot, so it would be best If we test them individually"

"Sounds like a plan, let's just get it over with today. You two are dismissed"

'That Nara girl, her chakra has an affinity to all of the five basic nature transformations, Her brother has an affinity toward wind and earth. I wasn't sure before, but I'm positive now that Temari is their mother. If they're anything like Gaara, they must be strong. We need to make sure all these kids are ready, and right now I'm positive they are strong'

Sarada was walking to Chocho's house when a three shurikan was flying towards her. She activated her Sharingan and was able to dodge them. Because she didn't know how to use it well, it drained all of her chakra and she fell to her knees. Kakashi jumped out of the tree and stood next to her.

"So you possess the Sharingan" He handed her some food pills so she could regain her health.

"By your age, Sasuke had his under control" She looked at him in shock.

"How did you know my father was Sasuke"

"It was a hunch, but If you meet me here tomorrow, I guarantee you will have your Sharingan under control"

"Yes lord sixth"

"I'm not Hokage"

"Oh, my mistake" She ran as fast as she could without looking back.

'I say she passed. 1 down 6 to go.

Boruto was sitting with Naruto when he suddenly disappeared. 'Where the hell did he go. Maybe I should tell Tsunade'

As he was walking, he felt something behind him. When he turned around, no body was there.

"Who's there"

He pulled out his kunai. Again he felt something behind them. Kakashi was dressed in a disguise he stepped out from behind a bush. He ran charging at him with full speed.

"Multi- shadow clone jutsu" Boruto was able to throw five Kunai at the target.

"Man this place is creepy, I better get to lady Tsunade's"

As he walked the opposite way, he couldn't see the man turn into the log.

"His jutsu is not as good as Naruto's but, he is pretty decent"

"Dai, what are we doing"

"Training, I need to practice with my Tessen. I know it's a drag but your chakra threads are not as good as they used to be-"

As they were talking their bodies froze.

"Ri, release the jutsu."

"I can't move either"

"What the hell"

He looked up to see his father and grandpa standing there.

"As a Shinobi, you let your guard down"

Shikadai whispered to his sister who looked furious. "I can do wind style jutsu without a fan, It's just stronger when I use it. Uncle Gaara taught me Immense Breakthrough I know it well enough to do without hand seals. Dad has you, so I will try my best to do it in his direction. After I do it, use Chakra threads on grandpa."

"I can't use threads on humans that well"

"Just try"

"What a drag"

"On the count of three. 1...2..."

While they were coming up with a plan Shikaku and Shikamaru were talking.

"What do you think their plan is"

"If they are really good tacticians, then It should be a mystery. But I feel this would be a good fight"

"THREE" Because Shikadai is still able to move his mouth, he took a huge breath in and exhaled out and with that came a huge gust of wind toward his father. Shikamaru was forced to remove the jutsu but jumped quick enough to dodge it.

"Now Ri" From her finger tips, she was able to make chakra flow to her grandfather. He let go of Shikadai before she was able to connect and she missed.

"Dammit"

"Don't worry, we got free. That's the only thing that matters. There is no point of using our shadows because they know everything about them."

Shikamaru and Shikaku sat in trees when Temari came and joined them. They watched them for a while, but they just sat there.

"Shikamaru I'm going down there. Stay here and wait for my signal"

"Okay Dad"

While Shikaku went down into the field and Temari took the opportunity to talk to Shikamaru.

"Those are clones"

"I know, but there pretty good. I wonder how both of them did that"

"Shikari did it, She used Jade Crystal mirror. That's why everything is on the opposite side"

"Wait, she used crystal style, I only heard of it"

"Well, she possess it"

"How-"

"JUTSU COMPLETE" They looked and saw Shikaku being squeezed by a puppet. But she continued to look and saw her puppet hugging a log.

Shikadai was hiding in the bushes and saw a shadow connect to his sister.

'Dammit, I was sure that would work. There is no way we can win, so our best bet is to drain all their chakra'

From the distance, Shikaku saw a slash of wind coming his way and jumped back. 'These kids are great tacticians, I'd promote them to Jonin, the only thing they need is experience'

Shikari jumped up behind Shikamaru who was still talking to Temari. Again she tried to use her chakra threads and was able to connect them to him.

"Gotcha" She tried to throw him to the ground but he was able to break out of it.

"You need to concentrate your chakra more" As he said this Shikadai was behind him.

"Immense Breakthrough"

"Not again"

It was hard to see through the wind, but Shikadai was satisfied that he finally defeated his dad until he felt that his body couldn't move. He felt his sister chakra's and realized she was in the same situation.

They saw both of the older ninja in front of them and at the same time they both said. "I quit"

"Just like Shikamaru, well I'm very impressed with your skill. You will make fine Shinobi"

They reported back to Lady Tsunade who was getting ready to head to Kumo for a meeting with the five kage.

"So how did they do and tell me who you think was the best"

"Well everyone I fought was good, they just need to work on some things"

"How about you Shikaku"

"I feel the same as well, but the Nara's put up a tough fight. If it were someone else I believe they would've won"

"I see, Here are forehead protectors, pass them out Kakashi. They are officially Chunin. Shikaku we have to go to the hidden cloud we better hurry. While I am gone, make sure everything stays safe Kakshi"

"Yes Lady Tsunade"

"When will you be back"

"I will come back after the meeting"

"Well let's hurry to the gates, I don't want Gaara to be upset"

"Are you scared of him"

"No, being smart can't always guarantee you are safe"

"Whatever crybaby" Before they left his room, they engaged in a passionate kiss"

"By the way you kissed me, you'd think we'd never see each other again"

He blushed and looked the other way so she wouldn't see.

"You look sexy when you blush"

"Let's go, you're brother is probably waiting for you"

"Hinata, thank you for meeting me"

"No problem Lady Tsunade"

Boruto was standing in the room. He saw his mom and she looked pretty much the same. 'She's so timid'

"I'm going to need you to take Shiroime, because Naruto is going on a mission soon. It'll be best if you guys got to know each other."

"Is the mission dangerous"

"Potentially, but It's naruto we're talking about, he'll be fine"

'She's always cared for dad, he just couldn't see it'

At the gates, Shikaku and Gaara stood there.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, It was his fault"

"What"

"It's fine Temari, we're still waiting for Lady Tsunade"

They waited for about thirty minutes and eventually she showed.

"Are you guys ready, This four day journey is going to be long"

Before Temari left she whispered into his ear. "I'll be back in about ten days. So be prepared because after that I won't be able to see you until the war. I love you"

And he whispered back "I love you too troublesome"

At the training field, all the kids stood around wearing their forehead protectors.

"Guys, we are finally chunin"

"Don't abuse it, we only became chunin because they believed we deserve it"

"Kakashi just handed it to me"

"No he didn't, they put all of through a test. We just didn't know"

Boruto remembered to earlier that day when he felt something behind him.

"So what do we do now"

"We show them how worthy we are. The letter said help, most likely it meant with the war and the only way we can help is if we get stronger"

"We understand"

"Good because I'm not sure if you guys heard, but war has been declared"

During the ten days, Shikamaru was anxious for Temari to come back. He tried to keep his mind off of her, so he devoted these ten days to training with his kids. He learned all their weaknesses and strenghts and in the ten days. He trained so much that he hadn't realized that the ten days had passed.

He was so tired from training that he went cloud watching and feel asleep.

"Did you forget lazyass"

He woke up and saw his girlfriend hovering over him.

"I am so sorry Tem, I didn't even realize that I was sleep"

"Well now to have to make it up to me, I'm starving."

"Ichiraku"

"Sounds good"

Warning:Lemon Below

"Can I get two ramen-"

"to go" Temari quickly added.

He handed Shikamaru the food and they began walk down the street.

"Where are we going"

"Tsunade let us stay in the other house again, but Gaara is in meetings all day. So I have the house to myself"

As soon as they got in, Temari went to change into more comfrontable clothes.

"God, Im tired."

She saw Shikamaru laying back on the couch looking at the ceiling. She took the time to give him a kiss while he was still looking up.

"What are you thinking about"

"The war, what if we don't see each other again"

"Let's not think about that now."

"You're right Tem"

"I know"

They sat on the couch and Temari told him what happened at the meeting. Shikamaru always enojyed their talks and would always look forward to them.

"Come on Shika"

"Where are we goign"

"To my room, I don't want Gaara to walk in and we have to explain everything because you know how troublesome that'll be."

They went to her room and laid in the bed. They continued the talk. They laid facing each other when Temari began to kiss him. The short pecks turned long and elaborate kisses. Eventually she was on top of him. As she was straddling him, she felt his member under her which rubbed her and she felt it through her shorts which made her moan. She began to remove his shirt and pants which caused the kiss to end for a second but they returned. He put his hands up her shirt and began to massage her nipples. She moaned in his mouth, which made him even more excited. While one hand was still tending to her breast, the other one moved to the hem of her shorts. He started to remove them and she didn't object to him doing this. As he did this, He realized that she didn't have on any underwear. He finished this, and began to remove his boxers. He flipped her over so that he was now on top. He managed to get her tank top off which was the last piece of clothing. Now they both were completely naked. Shikamaru placed his tip at her entrance.

"Are you sure"

"Yes, I want you"

"I want you to"

"Listen Shika, we are about to go into a war. I just want to know the feeling of you. We might not get this chance again, so for right now lets not worry about anything but us"

"I love you Tem"

"I love you too"

He slowly put his member into her. He knew the first time would hurt, and he could tell she was in pain so he stopped.

"Why did you stop"

"Because you were in pain"

"Once I get used to it the pain will stop"

He continued and finally he was fully inside of her.

"I'm going to go slow at first then you can tell what you want"

"okay"

He began slowly thrusting in and out until she whispered faster in her ear and he did so. The faster he went, the louder she moaned. "Shika, harder"

He began pumping harder and she came, and he did so right after, spilling his seed into her.

"Thank you Shika"

"For what"

"This"

"I should be the one thanking you"

"I just hope this isn't the last time"

"I promise, It won't be"
