Summary
Shikamaru Nara is seventeen years old and fighting in a war that seemed to have no end.
Seventeen years old and has witnessed more than enough death and suffering necessary for many lifetimes over.
He is seventeen, and he’s exhausted. It was an exhaustion that was like living his life through a lens, struggling to go through motions that were once so easy.
He is seventeen when in a dingy little medical tent, he notices something off with an innocent looking lamp in the corner.
___
Or; Shikamaru wakes up in a body far too small to be his and to the face of his long since dead father in a compound destroyed at the very beginning of the war.

Summary
There should have been twelve remaining and thirteen dead–each child should’ve claimed at least one kill.
One was all they needed to graduate, after all.
And yet standing in the center of the room was a lone child painted in red, twenty-four bodies scattered around him with a single kunai drenched to the hilt in his hand, scratches and cuts marring his arms and chest.
He was the only child to graduate that year and the only one to do it without a single mark on his back.
________
Or: The life of Zabuza if he had more character depth and the Naruto series had more world building.
