Is the Nara clan in Naruto one of the most intellectual to ever exist? Explored
Nara family in Naruto
If you have watched
Naruto Shippuden
, then you already know how amazing the character
Shikamaru Nara
is. The things he achieved along with his father in the show suggest to us the importance of the Nara clan in Naruto.
To start with, the Nara clan could be dubbed the most intelligent clan in the show, and they played a major role in war strategies and execution. It will be safe to say that the members of the clan have played a significant role in every war. And how can we forget the signature technique, Shadow Manipulation, of the clan with which Shikamaru has achieved a lot of things in the battles.
Nara clan and the prominent members
Using intelligence as a weapon, the Nara Clan didn't have a Kekkei Genkai. However, their Shadow Manipulation jutsu was something that everyone was scared of. This technique allowed the clan members to use their shadow and bind or control their enemies. This technique proved useful for Shikamaru Nara in multiple battle-like situations.
Coming to the characters, the clan gave Konoha some of the most intelligent shinobi who played a major role in the
Fourth Great Shinobi War
.
Shikaku Nara
, father of Shikamaru Nara, served Konoha as the head strategist during the Fourth War. He was killed in the massacre triggered by Ten-Tails at the Allied Forces headquarters. Before dying, he passed on the final strategy to defeat Ten-Tails to Shikamaru via telepathy.
And Shikamaru Nara is a legend who has an incomparable IQ, one of the first Chunin from his generation. He was the number of strategist after his father's death in the fourth war, and he also captured Hidan and Kakazu to take revenge for his sensei's death. When the war ended, Shikamaru started serving as the Advisor to the Hokage. In Boruto, he becomes the Chief of Staff of the Hokage, or you can say that go-to man for Naruto.

AP DCM Pawan Kalyan inaugurates celebrity hairstylist Ram Koniki'snew salon in Vijayawada
Renowned Tollywood celebrity hairstylist Ram Koniki, a trusted name in the Telugu film industry, unveiled the Vijayawada branch of his premium grooming studio, Salon Koniki, on Sunday. The event saw the gracious presence of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and popular actor Pawan Kalyan, who formally inaugurated the salon. Ram Koniki, who is widely respected for his styling finesse, is known to work with more than 25 leading actors and artists in Tollywood. Among his elite clientele, Pawan Kalyan holds a special place—not just as a long-time patron, but also as a personal friend and mentor figure. Their bond is often described as more than professional, with many from the film industry referring to Ram as 'the Hanuman who always stands by his Ram,' symbolizing loyalty and unwavering support. The new studio, located on MG Road in Vijayawada, marks Ram's continued expansion in the grooming and styling space. His first branch in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, was also inaugurated by Pawan Kalyan, making the Vijayawada launch a continuation of their shared journey. Interestingly, Ram had invited Pawan to launch the salon well before the latter assumed office as Deputy CM. Honoring that invitation and their deep-rooted bond, Ram waited for Pawan's availability before officially opening the doors to the public. With this new outlet, Salon Koniki aims to offer high-end, celebrity-grade grooming experiences to the people of Vijayawada, combining elegance, expertise, and a legacy of trust built over the years in Tollywood.
