In Boruto the movie Shikamaru shadow binding jutsu restrained Momoshiki for a moment until he used his Advanced preta path eye so does this mean that Shikamaru is top tier? I mean the guy is the hokage's right hand man he has to be powerful but not godlike I would put him as the strongest right under guy and lees 8 gates but i feel like he can really solo just about anyone with shadown strangle jutsu

Shikamaru has always been Low Key Top Tier.

No one gives him credit. Just because he doesn't blow up planets and make earth busting craters doesnt mean he is weak.

Especially after defeating Hidan and Kakuzu which even Yamato, Kakashi, Asuma, Naruto, and countless others struggled to do.

I think he is very underrated. ;]

The shadow jutsu would work on anyone below Tobirama's level imo. But his intelligence is high tier.

Her is not above Sakura
She can brute her way out of it, or just spike her chakra levels.
Hinata probably can even gentle fist the shadow away,

Even ino destroys him, if she is capture, because she will be able posses him because he is stuck too

Shikamaru beats Sakura 1v1, that's a fact. Shadow binding and its over, and don't tell me he won't know how to get her, he probably knows more about Sakura than she does herself.

Shikamaru is just Naruto's advisor because Naruto is stupid. Added to the fact that he said he'll stay by Naruto's side as Hokage in the war arc. And nah Shikamaru isn't top tier and his chakra is nearly the lowest out of the whole k11/12 almost.

His chakra is low... So what Rock Lee doesnt even use jutsu at all but he is top tier.

Sakura literally speed blitz him, she will look him in the eye and her killing intent will scare him to death. Shikamaru was so scared of Neji, he asked dude for his autograph, lmaooo I cant, he is a joke
Sakura Punchs the ground and his life is over.
Sakura spike her chakra level, and his life is over.
Sakura uses brute force to break free and his life is over.

Gentle Phist DEstroy anything with Chakra.

He's not a top tier, but he beats the majority of K11. Intel and shadow binding, too dangerous with those two things.

Even with Intel he needs time to prepare. In all his fights he needed prep time to beat his enemies. And his shadow binding only last like 5 minutes or he'll run out of chakra.

Rock Lee still uses chakra and even without gates he's to fast for Shikamaru. Gates is overkill.

Doesn't matter against opponents of that level. As long as he's not getting blitzed he's fine. 5 mins is more than enough time. He needs 10 seconds and its GG.

Except he'll get blitz fighting top tier opponents. And 10 seconds is no where near enough time.

Shikamaru is top tier when it's come to using brains.

He is just average on fight.

All k11 would beat him though. Only Ino and tenten(without sage tools)at best loses to him. Butterfly mode choji wins. Cerberus Kiba wins. Sakura wins, Hinata possibly, shino would win, Lee wins. If Shikamaru had prep time to make strategies for each one of them then he might be able to pull it off.
