Backround
As a Genin, Shikamaru Nara was the sort of unenthusiastic kid who likes watching clouds.
his most-used phrase is "How troublesome" in the Japanese version and "What a drag" in the English version.
Shikamaru loves to play thinking games that older men are usually into, such as Shogi and Go.
Shikamaru has a habit of putting his fingers together to create a circle and closing his eyes so he can concentrate and come up with a strategy. Once he does, which often takes only a few minutes, he is able to think ten moves ahead of his opponent with over a hundred strategies ready to be used, even being able to plan out "the next 200 moves in advance." This hand sign intimidates the opponent, making them believe that he has an ace up his sleeve while in actual fact it just buys him time.
Part 1
During the second part of the Chunin Exam, team 10 comes to Sakura's aid during battle with the attacking Team Dosu.
In the preliminary, he defeated Kin
In the finals he fought Temari. he traps her but claims that he is running out of chakra, he said he does not like to hurt or hit women. Plus, continuing would've been troublesome, so he decided to give up.
Despite having forfeited, he became a Chunin after the Chunin Exam.
Later, when Konohagakure was attacked by Sunagakure and Otogakure, Shikamaru was one of only three Genin who successfully dispelled the sleeping genjutsu cast on the Chunin Exam third phase stadium. However, he pretended to be caught in the illusion so that he could lie there and not do anything, only to be 'awakened' by Pakkun, who bit in in attempt to show that he was awake.
Shikamaru, Naruto, and Sakura headed off to find Sasuke, who had followed Gaara's trail determined to end their battle. As they pursued Sasuke, they discovered that eight Sound ninja are following them, and Shikamaru chose to stay behind so he could stall them while the others continued to pursue Sasuke.
Using a clever strategy, he was able to trap all eight with his shadow. However, a ninth Sound ninja hid in the trees, protecting the captured eight against Shikamaru's attacks. Despite correctly predicting the presence of the ninth ninja, he could not fight off the Sound ninja after being drained from his earlier match against Temari. Fortunately, his sensei, Asuma, came in to help him and defeated all nine Sound ninja single-handedly. Shikamaru then gazed into the clouds and figured that he should be more persuasive and started changing his view about life.
Shikamaru led the Sasuke Retrieval Squad during the Sasuke Retrieval arc. Shikamaru's first job as a Chunin was to lead the team, consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru on a mission to retrieve Sasuke when the latter fled Konoha. As they meet and fight the sound four. the teams brake into one-on-one fights. Shikamaru's opponent was Tayuya. In the end Temari comes to his rescue.

When Konoha was invaded by Furido and his team, Tsunade put Shikamaru in charge of Konoha's defense.

Later Shikamaru used his Shadow Imitation Technique to bind a three-tailed Jinchuriki Sora.
Shikamaru is revealed to be a member of the Niju Shotai, along with Asuma, Izumo Kamizuki, and Kotetsu Hagane trying to track down and kill the Akatsuki members.
they find Hidan, and Shikamaru catches Hidan with his Shadow Imitation Technique, the rest of the team managed to make a finishing attack on Hidan, But Hidan doesn't die , Kakuzu (Hidan's partner) shows up and forces Shikamaru to release Hidan. Asuma battles Hidan.
Shikamaru is there when Asuma is fatally wounded and the whole team is there when Asuma dies.
Shikamaru doesn't go to Asuma's funeral.
Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, and Kakashi go after Hidan and Kakuzu. They find and fight Hidan and Kakuzu. Shikamaru leads Hidan away and defeats him.
