this just clears up so much drama. while I do love the conflict sometimes, this is very refreshing and I'm just MMMMMM YES.
thank you for the chapter.

Love it. I need an the next chapter

YESS! I always have a soft spot for Shikamaru, especially with his relationship with his important figures such as Asuma and Shikaku. This is really well written and its very enticing, I have to say, Keep up the good work! There aren't enough stories that center around other characters than Team Seven.

I looooove this~

Love it can't wait 4 more will shika top?

Should be continued post-haste.

Sooooo good! Amazing idea, can’t wait for the next update!

This is interesting. I like how it's going so far and I'm curious how you would make the romance between Sasuke and OC!Shikamaru work. Please update soon.

YES? omg I love your writing so much, you handled this scenario so well in 1 chapter! I am so glad that Shikamaru just decided the logical thing to do would be to tell people just to make sure its not fake. His parents are amazing. I am totally concerned for the repercussions of Shikamaru's past death but one step at a time XD Lovely story!

Run with it, definitely interesting and lots of potential

update plz!

I love how Shikamaru’s just taking it in stride until he realizes it’s all real. I /especially/ love that he went straight to Shikaku and Yoshino about it instead of letting it stew like most other OC-inserts do.
Can’t wait to see where this goes!

Awww. I hope shikaku doesn't die. Sasuke shikamaru seems to be interesting as mostly everyone ger naru/ sasu only. Waiting for the next update.

Please please please upload this

Oh! I love it so far! I've never seen a fic with an OC/insert/reincarnation plot get over it so smoothly. Good thing Shikamaru is so logical. I hope to see this new shikamaru's growth soon!
