Shikamaru Nara, Chunin of Konoha leads a small band of ninja to capture and execute a rogue Konoha shinobi. A miscalculation on Shikamaru's part not only allows the suspect to escape, but forces him to search for the man in the strangest place he's ever been. Excited at the rare opportunity, one of the locals stresses her duty as "Everypony's friend," determined to make the ninja feel welcomed. All Shikamaru cares about however is completing his mission and returning home.
The story is set in between the Hidan & Kakuzu arc and the Itachi Pursuit arc.

"What a Drag..." - Shikamaru Nara :D
Love this lots. Bring me more!
Ooh, a fellow naruto author? Nice. Will read and comment later
Fav'd and liked. Pretty damn good. I'm interested in seeing where this goes from here.
3386065
2 dislikes. Maybe because it's a pair w/o a ship?
3386167 nope. Naruto crossover. Trust me, I know. People hate to hate
3386252
Yeah, maybe that. Oh well, their loss. I tried to make it so that even if you had no idea about the anime, you could still enjoy it. I might need to cut down on the ninja jargon.
3386145
Thanks! I hope I keep your interest.
The only way I'd read this is if entering Equestria transformed Shikamaru into a deer. Because wasting that perfect opportunity is just criminal.
3386477
You'll have to take me away then...
I seriously contemplated that, but for the nature of the story I felt keeping him as a human was necessary.
Genius.
You've earned yourself another reader.
I'm conflicted. On one hand I normally hate crossovers. On the other hand, Shikamaru's the only good thing left in Naruto aside from Temari. Yeah, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now and wait for more.
3386756
Are we related? I totally agree with that.
I'm a Shikamaru fanboy and was for the longest time Temari was my waifu...
I always liked Shikamaru from all the rest of the characters.
You got yourself a fav.
3387548
You sir, are a Smart cookie
Now I am interested. Continue please
3387663
I shall do as you command...
3386257 cut down on the jargon? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo
You make it sorta clear what the jargon means by showing us ya know.
3388792
Okay, I was just concerned for non naruto fans.
3388813 You can tone it down just a tad, but too much and it loses a LOT of its charm. it would be much better to have the meanings for said terms be obvious in the story.
3386477>>3386487
If you're planning to have Twilight make an appearance at some point you could always have her cast a spell on Shikamaru to disguise him and accidentally turn him into a deer for a moment before she gets it right,

Magical hijinks
>inb4 feature.
Hmmm, I think I'll follow this. Seems interesting enough, and I've never really read a Shika fic.
Below are some typos I found:
(bursted is not a word)
*like to, we’re simply rethinking out strategy.” - like to, we’re simply rethinking our strategy.”
*line. Tentacles bursted from the forest, - line. Tentacles burst from the forest,
*up and my shadow bursted to life - up and my shadow burst to life
*light that Jujo created bursted open. - light that Jujo created burst open.
3393288
I like to use bursted don't I?
Lol, thanks for catching those!
When is the next chapter :P? This story is so good.
3397900
Just posted it actually

Am I Nostradamus? I just asked for a new chapter, and I got one. Literally.
Can I win the lottery? The lottery is so good :D
(PLEASE WORK D:)
Lettuce Village... lol...
The Village Hidden in The Lettuce. That's hilarious.
Good chapter.
I can imagine Shikamaru down the line getting bitten in the leg(again) by Spike.
WUT?
3397989
It will be done
3398021
There really does need to be more shikamarufics, anyway this capter was hilarious

...Screw it, I'm saying it
*clears throat*
MY CABBAGES~!!!
Great chapter, I gotta say out of all the ninja that could have been sent there, Shika was the best choice. He's so used to being bossed around by women he shouldn't have any trouble in a land that's 75% female
Seriously though, Leaves for the Fire Nation never made sense to me.
Roses are red,
ain't ain't a word.
Neither is casted,
Please let me be heard.
As for the rest of the chapter? Nothing JUMPED at me like that did.
I loved this chapter! please keep them coming!

It's a common misconception that's never really corrected. It's not his fault. His grammar and spelling are usually pretty good.
3412868
I shall correct. Also, this played as I read your comment and I realized the severity of my mistake. I'll have to just be extra diligent on my writing, I proofread this like a mutha, but as you can see, some words just make it through
Well, don't forget that statistically speaking, Rainbw Dash can defeat isn't robots, so...
3412980 Wow. that ironically fit surprisingly well. You have good humor too, when the theme started playing as I reread my comment- a short, quick laugh slipped out of my mouth.
I look forward to helping you with easily fixed mistakes in the future!
Not that you'll make any of course!
3413067
Wat
you know considering shikamaru comes from a world of ninjas with super powers, his reactions and interactions with equestrian are more realistic than a lot of HiE humans ive read.
LOL, you ran with the deer gag!
3413572
It's just his personality I think.
3413617
Of course
Why Do I have a feeling the Orange glow is naruto?
3414132
I don't know honestly...
I wasn't going there
