"What did you say?" he asked, through gritted teeth.
"Temari has gone missing," Tsunade repeated.
Shikamaru said nothing as he turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Tsunade called after him.
Shadows wrapped around the ANBU that sprang forward to stop him.
"I'm going to find my wife," Shikamaru replied.
"You are needed in Konoha right now," Tsunade shook her head.
"It will be troublesome for you if you try to stop me," Shikamaru told her.
Lighting a cigarette, he walked out of the Hokage's office.
