No, see, he was GOING to, be all evil an' stuff, but then Temari was all like "And spend fifty weeks of the year on the road away from home plotting world domination? I don't THINK so" and bitch-slapped him with her fan, and Shikamaru went meekly back to his proper place in the kitchen washing dishes and inventing the cure for cancer.

(pardon me, my ship is showing)

From:

Ah. That's your ship? I know that's probably the second most popular Shikamaru ship after ShikaIno, in fanfic. Well, back when I used to browse ff.net.

I think it's an okay ship, but I don't really understand where people get it from. ::shrug::

I kinda like ShikaIno myself, but then I also like Ino/Sasuke. Then again I also like Sasuke/Hinata. Then again I also read a really cute Hinata/Gaara fic and I was all like Aaaaaaawwwwww!

::sigh::: So confusing. And to think, they're only 12-13! What am I gonna do when they get older and the shipping really hits?

By the way, having read the manga as much as you have-- do you think we'll ever get to see them when they're older. Cause I want to read/watch that so badly. No matter what ships or no ships there are, I want grown up Naruto. Or at least 17+ Naruto.

::thumbs up to your icon::

From:

OMG when IS that movie coming out in subbed I want 16yearold!Kakashi so badly gimmme gimme gimme backstory now!!! I want Kakashi!backstory....

Yup, Shikamaru/Temari is my ship, as in singular and only pairing that I actually ship (unless you count my general Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke OT3 squeee a la Kyou/Tohru/Yuki)--they're the only two characters I feel are actually close enough to puberty that I can entertain romantic thoughts about them! ;D I have general squeee/awwww thoughts over various characters as pairings, but I squee over almost everybody equally. Pet me, I'm a shipwhore!

I think it's an okay ship, but I don't really understand where people get it from. ::shrug::

I don't know where in the story people would get it hardcore from, say, anime-only-thus-far. There's some stronger possible hinting later in the manga, though, and that's where *I* got it from.

What am I gonna do when they get older and the shipping really hits?

YOU'LL SUFFER. We all will! *hides*

By the way, having read the manga as much as you have--do you think we'll ever get to see them when they're older.

I can say without a doubt a resolute absolutely positively 100% guaranteed YES.

From:

After the Eyeball Sex? It HAD to be done.

The icon's sharable if you want to use it.

*giggles madly and enthusiastically at YOUR icon, while we're at it*

From:

1. I DON'T KNOW AND I NEED IT SO BAD. I WANTS IT, I WANTS IT! *cries*

2. I think the manga is maybe maybe going to give us some Kakashi backstory as well soon. This is not a spoiler because I don't know what the backstory IS. *pouts like MAD*

From:

After the Eyeball Sex? It HAD to be done.

That entire page made me smile. ::shuts up before

rashaka kills her::

I'll definitely use it (and credit you). I have one slot left open in my current rotation of icons. Whee!

*giggles madly and enthusiastically at YOUR icon, while we're at it*

Made within the span of thirty minutes. Yeah. HAD to be done. :D

Same here. One of the few 'ships for any fandom that I really like.

From:

They can outfight and outsnark each other, and they know it. They amuse me immensely. My pet theme music for them is SO My Baby's Got Sauce. Upon this she slapped me with a frying pan / Yo, this is love, I'm not gonna leave it

From:

Wah. It won't let me hear it.

Maybe the file hadn't finished uploading all the way yet? Try it now; if it gets too tetchy I'll hit YouSendIt. :)

Hopefully it's not an error within the file itself.

y'all are too sweet to me. Keep the music comin' in this here LJ.

I am lovin' you so much right now. Even if you're lying (you wouldn't do that to me!) I love you just for the hope you're giving me. Mmm... I hope he draws grown up Naruto to look like the 4th, who was hot in his ninja portrait. Cause ya know I have the natural suspicions there.

2. But would you want to know? I like the fact that there are no spoilers for Naruto so I get to react to the chapters themselves instead of, say, having discussed the events with ten people a month before the chapter came out. *waits patiently a la Penelope for Kakashi backstory*

From:

There have been so many images in the manga that show the Fourth and Naruto as looking biologically related that I can't believe Kishimoto doesn't want us to suspect that. He might even confirm it!

Re: grown up Naruto--in one chapter, the title page gave us ~~pedophiles~~ a glance of Older!Naruto. I view this on a weekly basis. Guh and guh.

From:

riddering.livejournal.com

Hmmm, I don't know if I ~~want~~ to see it. Who cares about the blowing people up--he betrayed Greed! That's the crime I just can't forgive. *is partly joking*

Your theory is almost as evil as another person's who says Shippo is going to grow up to be the Kyuubi. I won't name names.

From:

That's awesome. He still only looks about 14, but his forehead protector is different, and he's wearing a chuunin vest! And ya gotta love the kunai in the mouth.
That's awesome.

From:

the chuunin vest looks exactly like the jounin vest! he could be either! **starry-eyed** My Naruto, I knew you could do it!
