it was the other way round, shikamaru's trainer was all the time asuma and they had for the whole manga a close connection, whereas jiraya and naruto "only" really spent 3 years together.I say Naruto cuz he spend more time with Jiraya than Shikamaru did with Asuma
also what Rain Of Hell Said!
yeah i have to aggre with u on thatThis is a subjective question sines to each of us a lost of a loved one is different and the pains maybe different but just as valuable to each and every one of us. There is no scale for us to measure someones else's lost. To each of us it is still a lost and a sorrow to bear.
