Shikamaru was standing in the hallway of the Konoha’s hospital….

He felt tears running down his face after his own father called him a ‘coward’… He was a fresh chūnin, it was his first mission and it was his first time being a captain and he failed the mission…

He felt horrible, after all he putted Neij’s, Naruto’s, Kiba’s and Akamaru’s, Choij’s and his own life at risk…
