Naruto's been gone for three years. What happened to the poor blonde? Can Shikamaru fix what happened or make it worse?

AU from tumblr: "Naruto, my entire clan's been turned into deer! Stop laughing!"

First of all, I don't own Naruto or its characters, sole ownership belongs to the creator of the anime/manga. I don't own the picture or media used. This is a ShikamaruxNaruto YAOI Fanfiction. Naruto and Shikamaru the two worst students in the academy, as well as the most hated in the village. Why? Because of the power within them. Follow as Shikamaru and Naruto save the shinobi lands, as well avoid the hate in the village. This isn't a romantic heavy story like my others, sorry if you don't like, I'm stepping out of the box. *Strong Naruto *Strong Shikamaru.

Hi! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm what people would call the "Dead-last, the idiot, the happy-go-luck kid. But, That's just who I want them to see. I wonder how they will react when I tell them the truth. This will be fun.

The war was over and everything in the village was settling down, Naruto on the other hand was still facing some problems and he would turn to someone for help. (This is Naruto x Shikamaru and if you are not interested in this pair please go find some other story that you like.) *** #3 in Shikanaru (10/10/2021) #2 in Shikamaru x Naruto (06/10/2021) #1 in OOCness (06/10/2021) #5 in afterwar (10/10/2021) #79 in Comfort (10/10/2021)

Naruto, but he isn't bubble, nice or even remotely kind to those he doesn't know. He's rough around the edges, closed off and shows little to no emotion. Despite this, Naruto finds a boyfriend, and friends though it was rocky at first. Follow as Naruto saves the village and make sure his new found friends are safe. I don't own Naruto or its characters, sole ownership belongs to the creator of the anime and magna. I don't own the picture used, sole ownership belongs to the creator of the them.

Team Seven, Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto Uzukaze, and Shikamaru Nara. This team was trained by the most elite, so it makes sense that those three would be wanted. Follow the three as the try to stay together, recover from a broken heart, all the while mourning the death to people important to all three of them. Shikanaru. SasuNeji. Will probably be my longest story to date. I don't own Naruto or its characters. Sole ownership belongs to the creator of the anime and magna.

They did it. They had won, but at a big cost, everyone was gone. This left it up to a blonde and Nine Tailed Beasts to fix it. All the while Shikamaru and The Third Hokage try and figure out what's going on with our favorite blonde. (I don't own Naruto or any of the characters Masashi Kishimoto does) ( I also don't own any of the pictures or the cover)

One night strung into several.

Shikamaru Nara at a young age found his fixation in one Naruto Uzumaki who remained oblivious to his situation when it comes to tethering oneself to such a reckless person. But he learns the hard way when his fight with Sasuke at the Valley of End winds up with him winning but dying for the briefest moments. Now knowing of the bond Naruto has chosen to stay by Shikamaru's side for better or worse.
