Shikamaru's Battle for Konoha

During the final battle between Sasuke and Gaara all hell broke lose as Konoha was attacked.Shikamaru was able to dispel the genjutsu that swept through the stadium, though he pretended to be asleep to avoid taking part in the battle. Sakura noticed Shikamaru pretending to sleep when the ninja hound summoned by Kakashi bites him and told him to help in pursuing Sasuke who had chased after a fleeing Gaara.



As they chased after Sasuke they where told by one of the ninja dogs that Kakashi had given them that eight sound ninja’s where on their trail. Shikamaru told them to go ahead and follow Sasuke and he would deal with the sound ninja. It was not long before they found him, But Shikamaru had set up traps and this allowed him to capture the eight ninja that came to attack him, Then the tables turned as a ninth ninja who had remained hidden arrived stopping all of Shikamaru attacks from hitting the other sound ninja’s. Shikamaru had prepared for this but was still weak from his battle with Termari and his Shadow technique soon faded. Just as it looked over for the young Ninja who thinks all of his future desires, Asuma, Shikamaru mentor and leader of team 10 arrived in time to save him.
