This is the Third Chapter of My First Story Please Dont Flame.

Disclaimer: I Dont Own Naruto or any ideas not mine.

Shikamaru was confused. He was a genius with an IQ over 200 at the age of 8 but he had met a problem he just couldn't solve!

Naruto uzumaki, the most complicated being he knew.

He had been watching him for a year now and he didn't understand anything that he saw. He wrote essays about the kyuubi and he made it seem like the fox was some sort of being to be idolized. He grinned and played pranks on others while laughing but the laughter never reached his eyes. He had SEEN the coldness behind those blue orbs and he was terrified. He picked today as the day he would tell iruka sensei about his suspicions. But he had to be careful, naruto knew things, he was too smart, he didn't want to know what he would do if he knew-

"Hey Shika, you look a little pale! Why don't you take a walk with me?"

Shikamaru froze in place as he heard Naruto's cheerful voice behind him. "Eh, no thanks naruto, im really busy-" "oh but i insist Shika." And naruto had grabbed him and began dragging him into the forest behind the academy. He wasn't able to get out of his iron-like grip, he was panicked, he had no idea what naruto would do, but all he could question was HOW did he KNOW?

" Damn shikamaru, you really are too smart for your own good. It didn't have to be like this you know? If you had simply kept your suspicions to yourself, we wouldn't be having this problem! But i should have known. At least now i will have a test subject for one of my new jutsu..."

"What the hell are you talking about naruto? I don't know what your-"

SMACK!

Shikamarus head had hit the ground for only a second before Naruto's foot was on his face pushing him further into the dirt. Naruto leaned in close to shikamaru, he could smell the ramen on Naruto's breath as he panted heavily.

"Don't you fucking lie to me Nara!"

Shikamaru considered pleading for his life but looked into those cold blue eyes with little flecks of insanity swirling inside and knew no words would stop him.

"Im a nice guy though Shika, so im gonna talk to you for just a little bit."

Shikamaru was thinking, maybe he could buy himself some time, perhaps he could even escape from this-this Whatever it is-

"No Shikamaru you cant escape. Yes I can read your mind. Yes I heard Every thought. No, no I cant let you slip though Shikamaru."

Shikamaru was beginning to panic, he knew Naruto could read his thoughts and realized he had no counters, no plans, he was giving him exactly what he needed o foil his plans-

"You wont get away with this Naruto!"

Naruto chuckled, but it turned into full blown laughter.

" Come on now Shika! We are in the forest of Konoha, and They wont find you until tomorrow if I wanted to kill you, one of the perks of being from a lazy clan I suppose. But Your a Smart Motherfucker Shika. You know im not going to kill you. No, no you are the smartest genin in our class and quite frankly I dont give flying Fuck if you want to pretend you dont know my secret. You could beg for me to spare you, but I wont. And you could attack me, but I would kill you and we both know it. Lets be honest with ourselves Shika. Your in Checkmate."

Shikamaru began to slowly cry as he heard Naruto speak of what he was thinking and shoot down his ideas back to back to back. He realized he was nothing more than Narutos test subject and his tears came more freely as he didn't know if he'd survive this.

"I hate to do it to you Shika, really i do. And dont worry you will live through this. But you give me no choice. You simply couldnt leave well enough alone. Memory Suppression No Jutsu!"

One Hour Later

"Hey shikamaru what are you doing behind the academy?"

Shikamaru looked up in confusion.

"I-i don't know chouji. I must have wondered off...troublesome."

Four Years Later

Shikamaru walked towards his clans compound quickly. He looked back in suspicion, and walked a little faster. You might think he was a little paranoid for a 12 year old, soon to be graduating academy student, but he had a reason. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew something was not right. He was missing patches of his memory but he could feel them there. They were fuzzy, and each one was filled with fear. But he just knew they were all centered around one person:

Naruto uzumaki.

He didn't know what he had to do with his memory being taken, but he knew if he could just talk to his father, everything would be ok. Some would ask why he would suspect such a happy and cheerful kid. Well that was easy. When he thought anything even slightly related to naruto he was filled with panic and fear and got a blinding headache. He was almost home though so he made a mad dash for his house.

"Father!"

Shikamaru burst into the home and collapsed on the floor. Footsteps walked towards him and he cried tears of relief, he was home, he was safe, he could relax and no one could hurt him-

"Aw now why are you crying shika?"

Even through the blinding headache he knew that voice.

"Naruto! how did you get in here?"

Shikamaru tried to crawl away from him. Naruto didn't let him.

Crunch!

"ARGH!" Naruto had just kicked his side, and he broke something, he could feel it.

As he tried to get closer to the door, Naruto stomped on his back causing him to gasp out in pain.

"Now shikamaru is that any way to treat a house guest? Besides, it seems your memories are breaking through the blocks. Thats what you get for using techniques before you master them i suppose." Naruto shrugged and dragged shikamaru into the kitchen. Shikamarus eyes widened when he saw his parents unconscious bodies sitting in the chairs.

"You know shika, you would think, after 6 different blocks you would get i don't want you knowing about me. But thats ok, after all, they say the luckiest number is 7!"

Naruto suddenly spun around and grabbed shikamaru and when his blue orbs met shikamarus brown ones his sight went black.

"Shikamaru, son, wake up!"

Shikamaru shot up from his seat as his mothers voice rang through the house.

"Shikamaru take out this trash right now! I wont tell you again!"

Shikamaru paused. Wasn't there something he had to do? Something about a blonde...ino maybe?

"Shikamaru!"

"Ok, ok mom im coming! Troublesome"

He brushed off his thoughts in favor of tuning out his mothers nagging.
