Sasuke Retrieval Arc
She made her first appearance, when Sasuke Uchiha defected from the village. There she was seen scolding her son Shikamaru for saying something inapropriate to her, at the morning table. When a Konohagakure Shinobi came to fetch Shikamaru for duty, it was her who opened the door.
