Where the Wind Takes the Clouds

"After the war, after Naruto's wedding...After Temari went back to the Sand, and Ino and Chouji were away on a mission. Shikamaru had begged Kakashi to allow him to join the mission, but Kakashi refused, forcing Shikamaru to take a required break. For once in his life, he didn't want to be alone. For once, he didn't want to just lay down in the grass and stare at the clouds. For once, he wanted to be occupied with whatever it was so he wouldn't have to think about the mess that the war had left in him."

This fanfiction explores the aftermath of the Great Shinobi War on the life of Shikamaru Nara.
