As he prepares for the coming war, Shikamaru begins to feel the pressure of shouldering the lives of his friends. To help ease his mind, Shikaku sends his son on a mission to Mokuzu Island where Shikamaru meets up with Naruto.
But even now, I sense
no presence of the enemy.

a presença do inimigo.
Но я по-прежнему никого не ощущаю.
