angst bittersweet boyxboy fluff guilt hokage innerconflict naruto narutofanfic romance shikamaru shikamaruxnaruto shikanaru slowburn temari unrequited

Naruto is determined to uncover what Shikamaru truly wants. Despite Shikamaru's outward nonchalance and apparent disinterest in everything, Naruto senses there's more beneath the surface.

Drunk and curious one night, Naruto asks,
"What the hell do you seek, Shikamaru?"

"I..."

Shikamaru hesitates, puzzled and struggling with his words. The guilt and anguish he feels because of his marriage (of convenience) to Temari weigh heavily on him. He struggles with his conflicted emotions and sense of duty, and yet having Naruto by his side is all he truly desires, even if it means to keep it a secret within his heart.

Will he choose his inner desire or follow through with his duty?

A slight bittersweet fanfiction that delves into the complex emotional landscape of Shikamaru, Naruto, and Temari as they navigate their tangled feelings.

Married Too Young by Kyubiyaoi

Naruto grew up hated by his village when all his parents wanted was for him to be seen as a hero for having the Nine-Tailed Chakra Beast sealed inside him. The Third Hokage acted fast to keep the blonde child from getting hurt any longer so he had Naruto married into the only Shinobi family that didn't hate him. The Nara family. My very first ShikaNaru fic. I absolutely love this pairing, so I hope everyone is able to enjoy! I do not own Naruto, I don't own the pictures/videos I will probably use, and the only thing I own is the idea of the story.

Stay [SasuNaru] by CheysShadow

-Story is still being checked for any spelling errors and grammar. Please be kind as I make those changes- ⚠️Warning! I don't own any of the pictures all the credit goes to the creators!⚠️ Some of these plots may be like other stories but I promise full credit goes to them. It seems that Obito has fallen for one of his teammates...it's not Rin I'll tell you that much. Putting a little twist on the main story I've changed the roles of the characters and changed it into a heart wrenching love story.

He looked down at the ground, avoiding Hashirama's gaze. He felt Hashirama shift closer to him on the bench, but he still refused to look at him. Hashirama's hand slid down his arm to grab his hand. "Madara, look at me please." he quietly pleaded. ................. The story takes place after Hashirama and Madara begin building the village.

Belong by unravel-ken

Love is tested in this drama/romance story. Still trying to come to terms with her past, Temari finds herself yet again in a relationship, only this time, with Shikamaru, a lazy guy with simple goals in mind. He hadn't foreseen Temari coming into the picture nor did he foresee her becoming a very special and important part of his life. Will Temari finally make peace with her past and let herself love and be loved again? Will Shikamaru's love be enough for him to bare everything that comes their way? Will these two prevail and be together or will the challenges that arise be too much for them handle together? ________ This is my second story, another fanfiction of "Naruto Shippuden" However - This story is not for people who don't like or actually hate 'ShikaTema'. - Constructive criticism is very much welcome.
