Shikamaru sucks period. I'm being purely honest. IDC about rank. I care about skill and Shikamaru doesn't have much. Look at Rock Lee he is awesome and gets no recognition. Also Shikamaru didn't solo any Akatsuki get the facts right. He did trick Hidan but Hidan is hardly the bright one. Shikamaru beat him somehow because Kakashi extracted blood from Kakuzu somehow despite many of parts say Kakuzu don't have blood. instances include when Kakuzu was stabbed by Lightning Blade no blood came spewing out like it later did with Naruto's Rasenshuriken. Also when Kakuzu released his masks blood didn't come out. There are other instances too. Shikamaru "winning" was purely because of plot. Also, Shikamaru had plot on his side against Temari. Temari's wind slashes and pushed everything around Shikamaru but didn't harm Shikamaru, Yea bs. Shikamaru became a Chūnin because his brain tactics which aren't that good. Also rather I'm in the same situation or not I can always imagine myself in it and still would've done better than Shikamaru. And yes I can compare my problem solving skills to his because he takes hours to think and hides but I can think on the spot.
