Chapter Two:Shikamaru:Chunin

Many people wonder why Shikamaru is a Chunin. His fellow Chunins .Old and young Genins that won't ever be Chunins but don't really care. Jonins do as well.
Other Genin's who had and have a better chance of becoming Chunin than he did.

His father wonders.
His mother.
His other family members.
Iruka wonders.
The third Hokage wonders in the afterlife.
Tsunade and her pig, Tonton.
Tsunade's assistant whose name I forgot. Oh yeah. It's Shizune.
Orochimaru wonders and, so does Kabuto.
The sound ninja ponder this.

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke too. Well, Sasuke just says they were jealous of him so they decided to make lazy Shikamaru a Chunin just to spite him.
The Sound Five wonder about this.
Zabuza and Haku ponder this in the afterlife too for no apparentreason.
Even Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari wonder about this.
Sometimes Lee, Tenten, and Neji wonder. Well, Neji thinks the main house had something to do with it.
Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, and Gai wonder why.

Well, Asuma doesn't wonder. He just happily brags about the fact that Shikamaru is a Chunin. Well, maybe he does wonder about it. Or just ponders about it. Whatever, nobody really cares.
Anyways, the Jonins that were proctors of the Chunin exams wonder as well about this. It's a subject Ibiki is trying to turn into a form of torture. Anko is trying to beat him to the punch.
Anyways, back to the, er, whatever.
His teammates wonder why he is a Chunin. Ino is annoyed he's a Chunin and Choujiwonders in awe that Shikamaru is a Chunin.

Shikamaru lies around thinking about why he's a Chunin. A question that he wonders about day after day.
Even demons and spirits and other people and creatures wonder about this. Ninjas from other villages ponder this too.
So how does Shikamaru dealwith this? How does this thought not make him go insane? Or make his head explode? Or make him go on an insane killing spree? This story will tell how.
One day, Shikamaru was lying on the grass in, oh,let's say his lawn, when the thought he dreads thinking about strikes again. The thought of how he became a Chunin. He ponders on this while he is lying on the ground.

This thought is too troublesome, he thought. And ridiculous. I'm a Chunin because I'm a genuis. A genuis! I shoudn't be thinking about this. I'll probably go mad if I keep thinking this. Which would be too troublesome. So I'll just not thinking about it. Simple as that. Gee, I wonder how other people deal with this?
Exciting and long, wasn't it?
Note the sarcasm in that last statement.
