Summary
Shikamaru and Ino aren't anyone's first choice of time travellers.
They don't have the monstrous power to take on the akatsuki, they don't have the charisma to bring the alliance together early. They don't even have Choji.
They also don't have any other choice.
Lucky for the elemental nations, what the the remnants of team ten DO have is a mission: save those they love, no matter what.
