It’s been two years since the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War. Shikamaru now has an important role within the Hidden Leaf government, and as a representative of the Leaf in the Alliance. One day, a situation develops with shinobi disappearing in droves, and Shikamaru takes on a dangerous mission.
I didn't become a shinobi
to be chained to a desk.
لم أصبح شينوبي لألبث في المكتب
non era per fare queste cose 
che sono diventato un ninja!
Eu não virei um ninja para
 ficar preso em uma mesa.
