Kishi is at least making the shippers happy (Shikamaru x Temari)

Last week it was NaruHina. This week ShikaTema with Temari thinking of how smart their kids are going to be with that good Nara DNA. This ship seems 100% confirmed.

Next week Naruto x Sakura because she is going after Obito with the medics? Or maybe we switch to Orochimaru x Sasuke? You know how Sasuke fanboys love it when Oro lusts over him.

Kishi sure knows how to make fan-service, doesn't he? xd
Even if he said there would be no such thing as ShikaTema he still puts those elements in, haha.

NaruTema forever!

Fan service to the max! xd

And, literally "fan" service with Temari ... but anyhow ...

I got happy when they mentioned medic's will be helping to fight Obito. Some needed screen time for Sakura

I don't think he ever said that specifically, I think he said he didn't have to show it, but he probably changed his mind after getting a lot of backlash. Now you have Temari fangirling Shika in this chapter. That is a big ship tease. So he had to have changed his mind.

At this point, there is no way he cannot do it. Way too much fanservice with them to turn back. The only downside is you make the ShikaIno fans unhappy. Boo-hoo. It is not like ticking off NaruHina, SasuSaku, or NaruSaku fans.

Pretty ticked off though since one thing that bothers me about Temari and Madara is that even though they have an aura of superiority. When it comes to Shikamaru for Temari or when it comes to Hashirama for Madara, they gain an inferiority complex despite the fact that both of them are far stronger than their rivals/opponents at this point.

There have been a ton of ShikaTema clues in the manga though. Too many too count in both part 1 and part 2. I'm sure you know most of them though.
