Naruto Uzumaki: loudmouth, prankster, idiot, and dead last. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze: quiet, serious, smart, and a prodigy.

Shikamaru Nara is painfully aware, with an IQ over doubling average while he's still in velcro shoes he's come to realise how shit life really is. A 13 year old Nara with no fixation has nowhere to go. That is until a certain perky blonde with more secrets than the mystery section worms his way into the ravens life.

Sorry if it sucks but I hope this is a satisfying set of stories once it's all done.

This is a ShikaNaru fanfic... Naruto was mistreated and misjudged most his life. Most people hated and ignored him. Most called him names and others did some pretty unforgivable things to him. After every incident he went on with his life like nothing happened. He is the oldest of the quadruplets but people treat him as a demon and shuns him. I DO NOT OWN ANY NARUTO CHARACTERS AT ALL ❌ I ONLY OWN THE STORY LINE AND THE CHARACTERS I CREATED Started - April 29,2018 Ended -

Naruto didn't use his 'bloodline' often, but when he did he was nearly impossible to get stop. I mean it is one of Newton's Laws, a body in motion tends to stay in motion.

Nara Shikamaru is a popular 18 year old single young man who has rejected one too many marriage proposals in the past few weeks; he has no plan on settling down any time soon.

Homophobia is running rampant in the Hidden Leaf as it is illegal to have same sex relationships. That's how it's always been and that's how most would expect it to remain. But within this village of disgusting homophobic persons were two persons who would fall into a dangerous secret. After all any ninja caught in a gay relationship or have gay tendencies will be stripped of their titles and have their chakra sealed. No Tailed Beasts
