*Whoosh!*
As soon as Shikamaru arrived at the training spot where Chōji and Ino were practicing, he heard the relentless sound of weapons slicing through the air.

Though he dodged quickly, Ino and Chōji were far too perceptive to miss his presence. The moment Shikamaru appeared, they noticed him.
"Shikamaru, you finished your training already?" Ino twirled a kunai effortlessly in her palm, her fingers dancing with practiced ease. The sight sent a shiver down Shikamaru’s spine.
"First stage is done. But what are you two doing for the second stage?" Shikamaru asked curiously.
"Wanna know?" Ino flashed a mysterious smile and exchanged a glance with Chōji, who immediately understood.
"Yeah!"
