After the chunin exams, Shikamaru finds himself with nothing to do and yet, for perhaps the first time, craving something to do that might help Konoha in her time of need. He's not the only one doing such things, and somehow finds Sakura and a new friendship. Only, the new friendship makes Shikamaru realise just how far out of reach Chouji and Ino have fallen. Can it be fixed?
