Shiho (シホ) is a professional member who works in the Konoha Cryptanalysis Squad.
Appearance
Shiho wears a red dress with a white jacket with swirl glasses. Her hair is tied as a ponytail with a red hairband, with occasional strands standing up. She wears her Forehead Protector backwards as a sash.
Personality
Shiho is an upbeat, cheerful girl who appears to be attracted to Shikamaru Nara. When Shikamaru told her he would return to the Cryptology office when he learned anything new, Shiho refused an offer to go home from her boss. Instead, she fixed herself up in a mirror, intending to see Shikamaru again when he returned. Shiho also blushed when Shikamaru accepted her offer of accompanying him back to Tsunade's office. The side text on chapter 407's cover page, which Shiho appeared on, mentioned how excited and nervous she gets around Shikamaru.
Abilities
Shiho is level-headed and, despite appearing young, is quite competent as a decoder. She helped both Shikamaru and Naruto in code-breaking, and was able to figure out Jiraiya's code based on the information she was given. She also appears to be quite intelligent, offering sound advice when Shikamaru and Sakura discussed the meaning of Jiraiya's message.
Part II
Invasion of Pain Arc
Shiho was first shown trying to help Shikamaru decode Jiraiya's message about Pain. She informed Shikamaru that they couldn't decipher the code without a key, likely known by someone Jiraiya was close to. Once the code was cracked, she accompanied Shikamaru to Tsunade's office, and later tried to help Shikamaru and Sakura determine the message's meaning. She was with Shikamaru and his father when Konoha was destroyed, and survived the blast. In the anime, it was revealed that Shikamaru broke his leg trying to protect her.
Konoha History Arc
She briefly appeared with Shikamaru as they were trying to sort out salvaged photos of villagers in order to give them back to their rightful owners. When Naruto asked where he can find any tulips in bloom, Shiho pointed out they are a romantic flower representing eternal love, all the while blushing and looking at Shikamaru.<ref>Naruto Shippūden episode 193
