Naruto 342 - 玉将 (The King)

Spoiler for Illustration:

Summary

In the Nara clan's ancestral forest, everything came back to peace, as Shikamaru walks away from the place that became Hidan's grave, closely followed by a deer. He's holding the box of cigarettes used to bring the final blow.
Sakura and Sai found Shikamaru thanks to Pakkun and land in front of him. Shikamaru asks them if they were his backup and adds they arrived a few minutes too late.
Sakura is surprised and asks if he took out Hidan all by himself while Sai compliments Shikamaru as he's capable than he was told.

While putting the cigarettes away, Shikamaru explains this was something he 'had' to do. Sakura understands and when Shikamaru asks for their friends, she explains they split the group. Sai proposes to get back to the group.

Chouji is supporting Naruto while Ino is performing medical jutsu on him, since he got seriously beaten up during the fight. Ino still can't believe Naruto distracted Kakuzu himself instead of using a bunshin.
Chouji compliments Naruto by saying he's smart too, but not as smart as Shikamaru... Still in pain Naruto jokes he shouldn't compare him with Shikamaru as it's not very fair.
Yamato was impressed that Naruto could use that jutsu three times in a row, while during training could barely perform it two times.

Kakashi's thinking about the fight. Naruto came up with a solution make sure the jutsu would hit after he failed it the first time. And he found out very quickly what to do. Naruto has gotten so strong he surpasses Kakashi now...
Naruto took a jutsu that even The Fourth couldn't complete and brought it to a level Kakashi couldn't even hope for...
He's always present, right in front of him... getting stronger... Sasuke.
Yamato interrupts Kakashi's thoughts saying they should head back to Konoha now.

Kakashi is looking into Kakuzu's direction while Yamato calls the team together to leave. When Ino asks Yamato what Kakashi's gonna do, he answers he's gonna finish off Kakuzu. Kakuzu is unable to move and Kakashi comes close, looking down at him. Kakuzu doesn't get how he got beaten by kids.

Kakashi coldly says it's true the might look like kids for someone who fought with Shodaime, but to them, Kakuzu looks like a old man! It's time for him to die! Kakashi delivers the finishing blow after telling him the next generation always surpasses the previous one. It's the cycle of life.

Back at Konoha, the whole team is standing in front of Tsunade-sama. She congratulates them for their effort, but warns them Akatsuki is not over yet. Nonetheless, she allows them to take a break after this tiresome mission.

At the graveyard, Kurenai is standing in front of Asuma's grave, when Shikamaru walks towards her, asking if she should be out walking around.

Shikamaru carefully poses the cigarettes on Asuma's tomb. Kurenai thinks Shikamaru will be a bit lonely now, since Asuma's gone. Shikamaru was his favourite student and always played Shogi against him.

Asuma thought Shikamaru lots of thing. Very important things for life as well as totally retarded stuff. Shougi was one of it. Being almost a grown-up, Shikamaru cannot cry over Asuma like a kid...

As a kid Shikamaru brused off his reponsabilities as troublesome and Asuma had to protect him quite often as he messed up. Despite that, he looked up to Asuma. Now it's his turn to be like his sensei.

Shikamaru tells Kurenai he'll have to protect her child now, since he has to become a cool adult as well now.

Back at home, Shikamaru is playing Shougi against his fathers. He's a way better player than Asuma was, as Shikamaru sees his pawn getting defeated by his dad's. Shikamaru sees the shinobi of Konoha as Shougi pieces and doesn't want to sacrifice any of them... That's what Asuma told him. He also has to protect the king no matter what.

When his dad asks about the king, Shikamaru says it's the unborn children of Konoha, the new generation.

Shikaku says he understand it well and while saying so, he got to Shikamaru's king: checkmate. Shikaku tells him he still has a lot of work as he's not strong enough to protect the king yet... It's difficult to face that reality for Shikamaru.

Gash!! Sasuke's katana sticks in the ground. He asks if that was all of them.
All the ninjas are laying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Orochimaru isn't impressed. Sasuke didn't kill any of them. He's still too soft on them. Sasuke replies they aren't the ones he wants to kill...

I'll see when I make an illustration. Not that I'll probably won't be able to do this on Thursday anymore as I'll have to prepare my kaiwa's for Friday, unless I can do it earlier. I've gotta make a schedule on how I'm gonna manage my time... The changes messed up my old one ^^'
