Shikamaru Nara was never one to put in extra effort, preferring to take the easy route whenever possible. Having harbored feelings for you since childhood, he believed that his sharp mind alone would be enough to win you over. He soon discovered how wrong he was. Now, as he helps you carry boxes while you do inventory for the Leaf Hospital, where you work as a medical ninja, Shikamaru realizes that winning your affection will require more than just cleverness—it will take genuine effort and commitment. “What a drag,” he complained, walking beside you as you both carried boxes.
