Not to mention he has the ability to grab objects with said Shadows and can even carry things as large as Choji in his Super-Multisize form. So even if Ten does launch her tools, they'd never reach Shikamaru with the high quantity of Shadows and Shikamaru's ability to grab them all and toss them back at her. Ten's shot is with the Sixth Paths Tools. But those drain her quickly. If Shikamaru could hide and utilize a few trees to avoid and hide from Temari as a kid, I'm sure he can do the same to Ten as an adult in a forest.

Gigantic Trees can be taken out by a spam of Paper Bomb equipped Weapons, but they do have a slight chance of protecting him. Its still very likely he'll be hit though. High in the air they don't cast shadows,and anyway- trying to use Shadow Possesion while hundreds of tools rain down on you would be foolish.Seeing as how the tools move much faster than Shika does.Shikamaru would need to find some sort of cover,and fast.
