Shikamaru: Ambu in Peril

"Shikamaru saw the shadow fly across the sky and he lay in his bed, waiting for the attack. The whistling of the wind, the rustling of the leaves, the rise and fall of the sleeping Nara's chest, the clink of both side's weapons in preparation, and then the silence. Nobody breathes. Nobody moves. Everything and everyone is dead-still. The calm before the storm."

Shikamaru embarks on a mission. But what is more dangerous is what lurks, seeking his demise. Will Shikamaru be safe or will those who seek his end get what they desire.
