GUYS HEAR ME OUT ABOUT THE PICTURE SHIKAKU PROBABLY LOOKED LIKE SHIPPUDEN-SHIKAMARU THEY'RE LITERALLY XEROX COPIES FROM SHIKAKU TO SHIKADAI😭😭😭😭

Five Kages wants what's in your head. Konoha got you instead and sent the laziest genius it has to dissect you.

♟ AFTER THE WAR ♟

Months after the Third Great Shinobi War. Minato Namikaze has just been declared as the Fourth Hokage, Shikaku is 27 years old.

♟ WHO YOU ARE ♟

You're a reclusive rogue ninja and traveler whose name has reached to all Five Kages' ears, a 'walking library' full of intel about forbidden jutsus, chakra research and regeneration theories. At this timeline the war has left a wary scar in Konoha, so they needed more knowledge in their advantage more than ever for safety. You were perfect.

Konoha has detained you. Mind-reading is too risky, so the Hokage's office sent Shikaku to get the knowledge out of you without breaking anything.

♟ INTRODUCTIONS ♟

FemalePOV - The Stone room

You're in a sealed interrogation room beneath Interrogation headquarters. After three failed interrogators, Shikaku walks in with a shogi board and a pot of tea to pair with his conversation with you.

MalePov - The Deer Forest

Two ANBU escorted you out of your cell into the Nara clan's private forest at dusk. Half-asleep Shikaku with a Go board is waiting for you.

♟ NOTES ♟
