: Shikamaru uses the sun's movement to naturally lengthen his shadow and utilizes a hole in the ground (left over from the previous Naruto vs. Neji fight) to unexpectedly extend his reach and capture Temari.

: After successfully capturing Temari with his jutsu and essentially winning the fight, Shikamaru shocks the audience by forfeiting the match. He explains that he is out of chakra and that managing the rest of the tournament's matches would be too much of a "drag".

: Temari carefully calculates the range of Shikamaru’s Shadow Possession Jutsu , staying just outside his reach.
