Shikamaru NARA

Shikamaru was in the same class as Naruto at the Ninja academy and is now part of a team with Ino and Chouji. He is very laid back to the point of being lazy; he often sees missions as troublesome. He is quite close to his team leader, Asuma, and the pair regularly plays shougi together. Shikamaru specialises in jutsu which manipulate shadows, but his true strength lies in his ability to think up the best strategies for defeating an enemy.

He's smart in many ways but the way the anime portrays him or his son is kinda not to my tastes. Their "smarts" feel ALMOST pretentious. Which is fine, not all animation and direction will be perfect in anime, but there's still a part of their characters that I just don't like.

Especially his son in Boruto, is... well... most characters feel kinda weird in Boruto. I don't know how to explain it. Cartoonish personalities? I think that's the best way I can describe it, but it's still not accurate.

I actually agree what people are saying Shikamaru is a true friend to Naruto, because Shikamaru has there for Naruto no matter what and he didn't care Naruto had the nine tails fox. 🙂
