Shiho

works on the cryptology squad that was tasked by Shikamaru Nara to decipher the code left by Jiraiya after he was killed by Pain.

Personality
Shiho appears to be attracted to Shikamaru Nara. She deeply blushes as Shikamaru leaves to seek help with the code. Knowing that Shikamaru said he would return if he found out any new information, Shiho refuses an offer to go home. Instead she fixes herself up in a mirror, intending to see him again when he returns. Shiho also blushes when Shikamaru accepts her offer of accompanying him back to Tsunade's office. The side text on chapter 407's cover page, which Shiho appears on, makes mention of how excited and nervous she gets around Shikamaru. Despite her actions towards Shikamaru, Shiho seems to be level-headed and quite competent as a decoder.

Post Hunt For Uchiha arc
She is one of the ninja assigned to Konoha's cryptology unit. She informs Shikamaru that they cannot decipher the code without a key. She tells him that someone who was close to Jiraiya might be able to help crack the code. After helping to crack the code, she then accompanies Shikamaru and the others back to Tsunade's office.

Invasion of Pain arc
Shiho is later seen helping Shikamaru and Sakura figure out what the now cracked code means. When Pain invades Konoha, she is seen speaking with Shikamaru with his father behind him.
