That responsibility arrives soon, when Sasuke leaves the village and Tsunade tasks him with putting together a team to bring him back. Shikamaru picks Naruto, Chōji, Neji and Kiba, and organizes the pursuit of the Sound Four. Inside an earth dome created by Jirōbō, he analyzes the technique and finds a way to break it.

Wounded and at a disadvantage, he uses the forest and his shadow with growing precision, but his strength runs out. When it seems he is going to die, Temari arrives as reinforcement from the Sand and defeats Tayuya with her wind. The mission ends in failure: Sasuke escapes and almost the whole team returns badly wounded. Shikamaru, who feels responsible, decides to stop being a ninja.

Before dying, his teacher reveals the answer: the king is the children who have not yet been born. Asuma has also left Kurenai pregnant, and Shikamaru promises himself to protect that child.

Hidan is immortal, so Shikamaru blows him up and buries him deep in the Nara forest, where no one will find him. Then he explains his promise to Kurenai and finally understands what Asuma meant: the king is the next generation, and his duty is to protect it.

He himself notices that the key depends on something only Naruto knows about Jiraiya's book. During the war, the Alliance faces an Asuma resurrected with the Impure World Reincarnation, and Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji, the new Ino-Shika-Chō, seal him together.

When Ada's Omnipotence changes almost everyone's memories, Shikamaru also believes Boruto is guilty. Three years later, in Two Blue Vortex, he is the Eighth Hokage.
