Transmigrated Nara

I don't own Naruto

Chapter 1 Revelations

Waking up in a cold sweat to a blinding light via the sun I rub my now annoyed eyes to a room quite unfamiliar to me. Taking a look at quite literally a room with a bookshelf at my front my left was the wall that once again blinded me with the fresh sunlight coming from the window. Blinking twice and looking to my right was what I took notice of was a sort of board-looking thing…I mean it has a couple of pieces on it they were flat as opposed to chess pieces so it couldn't be that. More to my right would be a cabinet with an alarm clock sounding as it was at 7:25 AM showing on it.

Taking another look at the room and then at myself and my body in particular I was shorter and skinnier. Then I proceeded to raise these newly discovered skinny hands to my face to discover hair a lot of hair reaching my shoulders. Taking a double take at the hair before now getting out of bed altogether to find a mirror hanging on the door. To see someone I recognized almost immediately.

'Why the hell do I look like Shikamaru!!?" My eyes widened as my hands guided my face to see the reflection follow it but only reflected.

'This is real…why the hell am I here did I die?" Looking down a bit of confusion overtakes my mind letting it show on my face.

What I was wearing was what seemed to be a normal grey shirt with nothing appealing probably mostly used as pajamas…something I would do. I also had on black shorts themselves normal size not being able to reach below my knees, perfect size.

Shaking my head with the thoughts running through it I looked around the room very quickly and a sudden yell coming from behind the door came "Shikamaru! Wake up Today's the day you get put in a Genin squad so wake up Lazy Boy!" Presumably, Yoshino Nara is what her name is…I think but going to the door handle to stop her from opening the door as she starts to knock very loudly on the door.

"I-I'm coming you don't need to come inside Mom." Oh god, seriously I didn't wake up in another person's life just to have another strict mother in this world oh god.

"Alright just make sure you're dressed and ready breakfast is already almost done…Your fathers getting that done." Lifting a quick eyebrow in curiosity my mouth opens and begins to say want I thought.

"Dad can cook?" At that, I heard Yoshino start to crack up behind the door she seemed to have been very hilarious due to her reaction.

"Oh no not he's just watching the heat on the stove, I'm here to wake you up and get the laundry." With that, she left with her footsteps conforming her departure from the door and into her room.

Taking a sigh of relief before looking at the one thing I didn't see which was a wardrobe that was not enormously big but enough. Walking towards it and opening the door I peeked inside just to see a majority of the same clothes he wears in the anime with only little parts of normal clothes that were similar to the clothes I woke up in. Looking to a slight blue cloth hanging off a hook on top of the wardrobe was the leaf headband. Moving my hand to grab it in one hand before turning it over to see the shine of the sun hitting the metal blinding me for the third time today and it was only the start of the day!

Blinking for what seems like the hundredth time in this short time in this body I grab one of the same outfits while also lowering myself to see shelves under the door of the wardrobe that had socks and the other one next to it was with underwear. Sighing while putting on the clothes are his back shinobi sandals, black shinobi pants, and a fish net shirt which is surprisingly sturdy I mean Part 2 Naruto used it. Then last was the jacket that had no zipper and didn't go down to my waist…why is this here I mean couldn't you just have a normal jacket…uh whatever it's for survival purposes so I might change a little.

Sitting in my bed just putting on my last sandal and strapping it to my leg to make sure it doesn't fall off. Remembering suddenly I grab the hair tie and quickly tie my hair into the normal Nara special. I get up from the bed and almost fall over due to the distribution of weight my hair caused. Straightening out and once again heading to the door upon opening the door I see Yoshida or more now like my mom outside my door once again. She had her hair in a ponytail tied by her neck and even then it still wasn't like a tail. There was some of her hair that wasn't tied which was the very front of her hair and the sides before her ears. While I gave her a good look was wearing a red shirt and red pants which were behind an all-white apron.

She was standing in a way where you could see her hair as she was half looking my way and half to the room where the washing machine was.

"I need your clothes Shikamaru." Letting my eyes blank at the straight order I turned and grabbed the foldable laundry bag and gave it to her with my newly changed clothes in there as well. She smiled while pouring the laundry into another basket as she started to walk off. "You should get to eating the food done, I don't want you to be late!" As she walked farther somehow her voice went louder and that did not make that much sense…

Walking around the home not knowing my way around I accidentally walked into my new parent's room before just following the way my mother went to see another room leading out and finding the living In seeing distance was the kitchen which had food already served on the table with Shikaku consuming his food while reading a newspaper concealing his face from my view.

Walking past him and said "hey" to the old man who looked away from the newspaper to me and acknowledged my presence with a lazy "hi." In returned as he went back to sipping his coffee and reading his newspaper. There was silence it was quiet yes but not very awkward as I thought this was going to be Shikaku from what I know of his character is as lazy as Shikamaru but with more experience and older than Shikamaru who is bit funny that they look alike and talk the same way but I digress. He was cool and in the anime, he never got that angry or anything just stone cold which honestly is kinda cool and fire at the same time. No wonder Shikamaru wanted to be a shinobi despite his laziness.

Picking at the food and munching on as I think of more things in my head like my instincts that were combined with Shikamaru it seemed we merged but his consciousness wasn't here but his previous experiences were like how to do the hand seals which he's alright not super fast but that is just generally done with more time and his basic justice like the Clone Technique, Transformation Technique and substitution Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) which are basic but useful as hell. Then there is his specific clan's specialty, Shadow Imitation Jutsu which reminds me I saw in the show that everyone is almost right so they put their pouch on their right side to use their right hand if I swap it with my left side, and use my left hand and they copy me I could potentially subdue an enemy with a Bomb Tag. Oh, that's one thing although Shikamaru is lazy he is still a genius although I'm not on his level of base IQ I still am considered a genius myself. I used to lay low as I didn't want more attention brought to myself but…now I risk death and by having Yoshino as my mom…I doubt I'd be able to not be a Shinobi….

Finishing my food and wearing my weapons pouch now at the left side before touching it with my left hand… 'I need to get used to it' I dismissed it as I started to walk the streets of Konoha now with some knowledge of Shikamaru which was alright I mean he did move and sometimes skipped classes with Naruto but he didn't know everything and neither do I. But what I do know is that there are some training grounds in and out of the village and that the Nara Compound if you went from the main gate would be on the right side of the village where the houses of the Nara were cutting point of the forest of all the deer which ended with a part of the Hokage Mountain. Also, can I just say how far the Academy is from the Nara clan compound it is on the left side close to the Chunin exam's arena and honestly I had to run to get there a bit earlier as instead of starting at 8:00 like in my old world they started at 8:15 which in all honesty is not a considerably big change but good one as now I get to find a good seat before those rabid fan girls and maybe even Sasuke get there?

Reaching the Academy and letting Shikamaru's past knowledge tell me where to go I go on autopilot in the empty hallways with some Chunin instructors passing by on my way to the classroom. Which oddly resembles some college classrooms that I've seen. 'I am like 17 so I could only say that like really why me?' Shaking my head and entered the classroom at a sharp 7:55 which was only a couple of people like Sasuke and Naruto who sat close to each other like in canon. Looking up ahead to see that the right-side corner seat at the very top had its entire table empty I walked up the wide steps and gave a slight side eye to Naruto who looked at me as I passed. I raised my eyebrow as to question why he was there…I knew but I had to give the impression didn't I? Heh, whatever continuing to the seat until I reached my seat I lay my hands on the table to cushion my head as I tried to reduce all the incoming noise of the fan girls coming into the classroom. 'Oh what a Pain'

Taking a little rest as most people come in and talk some making fun of Naruto and some fangirling over Sasuke…poor bastard that must suck so much I like being inconspicuous but Sasuke after the Uchiha Clan massacre and even before he had some girls acting like his fans. Letting my mind drift to unimportant things I wait in my spot until I feel a touch on the shoulder I left my head to see a porky boy with swirls on his cheeks and what almost looked like a underwear headband that had two tuffs of hair pointing either side of his head.

"Oh hey, Choji." With that, the boy sat on the seat next to me opened a bag of chips started to grab one, and offered me one.

"Chip" he simply asked and while looking at the chip it was a simple potato chip with no design and probably savory.

"Nah I just had breakfast at home and I'm stuffed." I shake my head before he stuffs the chip he offered me into his mouth that had a loud crunch that I heard.

We sat there in silence and in all honesty I wouldn't call it awkward again with Shikaku they know Shikamaru as the lazy boy who doesn't bother starting up a conversation so being quiet now without it being awkward is very easy.

"Hey, Shikamaru do you know anything about getting split into groups?" Turning my head at the noise to see Choji question me I chose what a quite reasonable answer.

"Um from what I heard and observed it's three genin and one Jonin," I say as I look in front of me to see Naruto crouch right in front of Sasuke and glare at him. In response, the ladder glared back at him emitting some electricity sparking at each other…in my mind. Turning my attention back to Choji I go and drop something I noticed.

"I mean our parents are called the Ino-Shika-Cho trio which is well 3 people and a Sensei but I didn't get it really why it was called that and only the heads or heirs of the clan have Ino, Shika, and Cho in their names." With that, I saw Choji put his finger on his chin in a thinking pose and go through everyone he knew.

"…you're right…" he didn't really have anything to add after that and we went back to our silence Naruto ended up kissing Sasuke, the aftermath and then Iruka-Sensei came into the room with a clipboard hugging his chest.

"Students!" Iruka raised his voice making everyone previously standing up find a chair quickly as he meanwhile was looking at everyone individually and nodding at each one presumably doing attendance in his head.

As Iruka was talking and saying things about being an adult and a shinobi of the village you have to put your lives on the line and stuff I just tuned it out and in all, it's what I expected to hear and I wasn't disappointed or overly excited since he said it kinda slowly.

He ran through the team calls as Team1-Team 6 were called.

"Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki" I see Naruto's head prop up. "Sakura Haruno" At that I hear Sakura moan and Naruto cheer. "And Sasuke Uchiha" At the final name their moods change as Sakura was the one now cheering and Naruto getting bummed out.

Not giving any more time to talk Iruka went on to the next team. "Team 8 is Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame." He paused and looked at his students and just saw calmness and he continued.

"Team 9 is still in circulation and Team 10 are Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and Shikamaru Nara" At the end of Sensei's speech I heard a brief whine by Ino cursing her luck to Kami.

"You're Jonin-Sensei's will start to appear any minute now." With that 6 Jonin came from the door and quickly scooped up the 6 other unnamed teams that I didn't know about though they weren't really important.

Sitting in the room of mild quietness and mild confusion was the now referred Rookie 9 in the Chunin Exams where they got the name probably from just then being able to take the Exam in only 5 months or it might also have the fact that only Sakura and that no one knew that Naruto was from a clan 7 of us are from clans. So overall all of these teams do specialize in things like Team 7 for all-out attack 8 for tracking and us 10 being captured…but is that all I want…I want to be stronger and knowing the sudden jumps in power Team 7 got in Shippuden Cough Naruto Cough and other than Sasuke's Sharingan evolving to ems and then a Rinnegan he didn't physically get that much stronger. But yeah I…don't want to just stand idly and watch Naruto and Sasuke carry the leaf I want to get stronger. Don't want to lose anyone especially since I'm in a lazy clan I wonder how far I can take this clan's Jutsu.

Someone opened the door and two people stepping out was a man with a cigar in traditional Jonin attire, he had black hair with a beard to boot. The other person was a woman with bandages wrapped around her but not enough to constrict her movements.

"Team 8 I'm you're Jonin instructor Yuhi Kurenai." The people in the team perked up and walked out of the room with the now-identified Kurenai.

"Team 10 I'm your Jonin instructor Asuka Sarutobi" he waved at us and we followed him out of the room where we left the academy behind him.

"So you guys going to introduce yourselves to me," Asuma said as we walked through the residential area of the village near the center.

"Why don't you go first Sensei." I gave him a quick response as I saw him turn his head slightly for one of his eyes to stare and eventually had a small smile on his face.

"Well, name Asuma Sarutobi I'm a Jonin of the village as you know. My dreams… don't have on at the moment and what I like would be… none of you're business and what I don't like is also none of your business…one of you go." He let his hand wave behind them as both Ino and Choji were at a blank at this guy.

"Uh, such a cop-out answer y'know." I just lifted my arm over my head grabbed over the back of my head and started scratching unenthusiastically yo know anime pose.

I heard Choji huff before starting to talk himself. "My name is Akimichi Choji and what I like is food, my friends, and my family, what I don't like is when people call me fat or threaten to hurt my friends and my dream is to grow into a suitable Head of my clan," Choji said there which honestly made my eyes slightly widen and turn to him. He had more excitement than I thought and he wanted to make his family and friends proud and kinda wholesome, wasn't he?

Asuma quickly nodded his head and Ino looked in between boy Asuma and Choji and started to talk herself.

Training Ground 10

Reaching a training ground finally as we reached there Ino finally stopped talking about how cool Sasuke is like Seriously! She went on a rant about this guy for more than 10 Whole Minutes. Oh Kami this girl is going to kill me faster dammit. He as one would say Troublesome.

Sighing as she just stopped Asuma signaled over to a tree with some shade we took seats next to the tree as Asuma stood up and looked over me guiding his hands in a way of wanting me to go.

"My name is Shikamaru Nara and my likes are reading, shogi, and hanging out with my friends. What I don't like are traitors and scumbags who judge when they don't know a person. My dream…My dream would be to become stronger."
