Shikamaru POV
I left my house shortly after the talk with my mother. I was determined to make the Hokage and the council forget all about Ino's arranged marriage so I walked to the Hokage tower with that being my only objective.

Hokage tower
I didn't even bother to knock on the Hokage's door and just swung it open. I was furious and Lord Kakashi could tell. "Shikamaru. I take it you found out?" "Yes. I did. Thankfully with enough time to do something about it." "Would you please close the door so we can discuss this more privately?" I nodded and closed the door. "If this arranged marriage goes through I'll resign as the head strategist." Shit. I wasn't supposed to say that. "I didn't want the title of Hokage. I just wanted to read my books. Ugh. You can consider Ino a free woman now. We can't afford to lose you. Besides, I'm sure Sakura will be thrilled to find out she's going to get to marry Sasuke." "Thank you Hokage."
