Summary
Shiho is a cheerful and upbeat member of the cryptology squad, which was assigned by Shikamaru Nara to decipher the code left behind by Jiraiya. She appears to have romantic feelings for Shikamaru, often blushing deeply when he departs to seek assistance with the code. Even when her boss offers to let her go home, Shiho declines, determined to wait for Shikamaru’s return since he promised to come back if he uncovered any new information. She spends the time fixing her appearance in a mirror, hoping to see him again once he returns. Shiho also blushes when Shikamaru accepts her offer to accompany him back to Tsunade’s office. The side text on the cover page of chapter 407, which features Shiho, notes her excitement and nervousness around Shikamaru.
