    Summary

    They’re just six years old when Naruto Uzumaki jumps up in front of the class, glares at all of them in turn, and passionately proclaims that he’s going to be the Hokage one day.

    The entire class just laughs at him. Shikamaru doesn't join in. He's confused. Why does Naruto act like that? Like someone so desperate to be noticed that he’ll take anything - even anger, contempt, annoyance at best? It’s a puzzle with a missing piece - a problem that he needs to solve before he can sleep through another class.

    That puzzle ends up taking a lot longer to solve than he anticipated.

    Summary

    As it draws nearer to the annual Kyuubi Festival, Shikamaru notices that Naruto is acting upset and despite how much of a drag it is, it's not like he can just let Naruto suffer.

    "For the life of him, Shikamaru couldn’t figure out what had them on edge. It was just the end of October’s first week and all things considered, things were pretty normal. Nothing overly special was happening until the Kyuubi Festival in a few days.

    And oh.

    Oh.

    It was at that time that Shikamaru realized, for all his genius, he was an absolute idiot."

    Summary

    “Add 13,000 — divide 34 — take out the five and — done!” Naruto smiled over to Sakura as she sputtered

    “No way – he totally just put whatever didn’t he, that was wayyy to quick!” Kiba halfheartedly whispered

    Naruto’s eyebrows furrowed, “No-no I did it right – here look it over Shika-chan.” He passed the paper to Shikamaru.

    Receiving the paper Shikamaru sighed while chewing on a pen, “How troublesome—” then the pen clinked on the desk, falling from his mouth.
