Description Shikamaru is an extremely unenthusiastic person, and as such lives his life avoiding work. This is partly due to seeking paths of least resistance, as he often chooses to do things he would otherwise not do if people nag him enough.

His plans on life reflect this aspect of his personality, as he plans to be an average ninja making an average salary, and retire once his children become independent. In his free time he typically takes naps, watches clouds, and plays strategy games such as Shogi and Go.

When put into a situation where he potentially needs to put effort into something, he attempts to try to find a way to avoid it such as forfeiting a battle or by pretending to be preoccupied with something else.

In the instances where he can't avoid these situations, Shikamaru tends to remark "how troublesome" "what a drag" or "such a pain". He is fully aware of this side of his personality, even dubbing himself "the number one at running away."

Shikamaru has a strong bond with Asuma, often spending time with him playing strategy games. After Asuma's death, he developed a smoking habit not unlike his teacher's, though he does not seem to enjoy it. The cigarettes remind him and his friends of Asuma, and are a symbol of his watching over them. He even vows to protect Asuma and Kurenai's unborn child for Asuma's sake.

i personaly love shikimaru...when i first saw him was when he was fighting against Temari.

Me niether! It seems like everyone loves Sasuke or Naruto or Gaara, or even Kiba.He's so underappreciated. It's funny, because my closest group of friends all fangirl over Lee, Chouji or Shino. We love the unloved. (^^)
