Shikamaru had felt that even moving his pencil in class was a bother and always slept through tests, resulting in his low grades.
Shikamaru's first job as a Chunin is to lead the team of Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru (also known as Team Shikamaru) on a mission to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha when the latter flees Konoha.
Shikamaru's opponent is Tayuya, a ninja who specializes in long-range sound attacks using her flute.
Shikamaru after being a genius and master strategist, he is a natural leader.
Shikamaru's own character complexities and brilliance are representative of Kishimoto and his story as a whole.
Shikamaru didn't help them in the actual fights, but while they were traveling, that was a smart thing to do, positioning everyone where it best fits them.
If push comes to shove, he can take of business like few others, and this showed during the Chuunin Exams, in which he was the only genin of Konoha to become a chuunin.
His Kage Mane no Jutsu, or Shadow Imitation Jutsu, is a tough jutsu that is apparently passed down through the Nara generations.
All in all, Shikamaru is an awesome, if under appreciated, character.
That is why he was the only one of Naruto's class mates to become a chunin on his first try.
When he was remembering how he and Chouji met, and how they became friends, he told Chouji that the seat was reserved for him, and that he would get lazy and just sit back and watch the clouds.
