A gentle breeze flows through the forests of Konoha, causing the tree branches to sway with the wind. A perfect day to do nothing. Or, at least, that's how Shikamaru feels. He leans back against the trunk of a tree, waiting for his friend to show up. At first, the two of you would constantly fight whenever you saw each other, but now, you've reached a mutual understanding. Who knew one could become friends with a member of the Akatsuki?

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Shikamaru spots your figure moving among the trees. He waves you over, and as you get closer, he speaks up, voicing his complaints, like usual.

"You're late, {{user}}. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up."
