[chatting]

Hey, Ino, you here? Come on out.

What's up? What are you two guys doing here?

Do you remember what Kakashi Sensei said? Our assignment?

All right, I'm giving each of you a secret mission to prepare a

congratulatory gift for Naruto and Hinata's wedding.

Yeah! Of course!

And? What about it?

Well, I thought we could discuss what to get them.

Sorry!

I've already got something really great picked out for

them. Actually, I was just about to go down to the store to get it.

Which store? We'll go with you!

No, you won't! We can't shop at the same place. You two

can think of something on your own!

Later!

[gasping]

What are we gonna do now...?

Oh! Miss? I'd like some ice cream for dessert.

You, Shikamaru?

No, nothing for me. You sure can eat, though, you know that?

Your appetite hasn't changed a bit since you were a kid.

Well, I'm starting to like chicken thigh and grilling my beef

super rare, so I think that my tastes are really beginning

to mature.

Sure, whatever you say Choji. Anyway, getting back to the

topic at hand...

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe yuzu sorbet's better than ice cream.

No! Not that! I'm talking about Naruto and Hinata's present!

Oh, yeah. Of course. That whole thing...

Here's your ice cream.

Oh, good, it's here!

From Ino's attitude, I'm guessing that she

isn't gonna be of any help to us.

If this keeps up, we might be the only ones who can't find

a present in time.

What do you mean by "we"?

I've already picked something out.

[gasping]

R- Really?! What are you getting them?!

Since you asked, this is what I'm thinking of giving them.

[grunting] Huh?

This is-!

Yup, gift certificates for dinner!

And it's not just for some run-of-the-mill place!

These are gift certificates for a super-fancy

restaurant that VIPs like the Hokage go to!

It's a special occasion!

[grunting]

What's going on?! This is Choji we're talking about! And

somehow he chose the perfect gift!

Having dinner in a restaurant you wouldn't normally

be able to go to is special, and it's really memorable for

a couple!

Not a lot of gifts would have as much impact as this one!

And even if this is for a special occasion, he's

willing to give up a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant,

just like that?

Oh, miss? May I have another bowl of ice cream?

Are you really the Choji I know?! It's not just your taste

buds that matured! Have you completely become an adult now?

[grunting] Hm?

Here's your ice cream.

Not bad, huh? They came as a three-for-one special.

[gasping]

Wait, why would they offer three for dinner?

A romantic dinner is for two!! Come on, what's wrong with

you, fancy restaurant?!

Choji's totally gonna tag along if it's three certificates.

Shikamaru? What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing... So are you planning to go along with them?

Are you kidding me?! Even I know better than a tag along with

newlyweds!

Uh, oh, yeah, right! Of course you'd know that!

I was just gonna have the host there seat me at a different table.

[gasping]

So, you are going?! Still, this isn't the time to get on

Choji's case...

I haven't figured out what to get them.

And I can't waste time deciding.

Something functional? No, not festive enough. A decorative

item? No, that's useless if it's not their style.

Flowers and food are perishable, so they would seem like a

seasonal gift.

Honestly, giving them any item is risky.

So that just leaves cash.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

Then they can get whatever they want.

It's way better than getting something they

won't use or a duplicate gift.

Wait, what if everyone else gives a gift and only I give

them money...

It's not much, but here ya go!

Not good! Everyone will think I was too lazy to go out and

buy a gift, so I just handed them cash without giving it a

second thought!

You okay, Shikamaru?

Uh, yeah; I just felt a chill, that's all.

Oh, sorry. Did you get cold from watching me eat all

that ice cream?

No, that's not it.

I needed it. All that barbecue got me hot!

Plus, I'm the kind of guy who could eat ice cream even if

I'm traveling deep in snow country during a blizzard!

My appetite beats the cold every time.

Heh, damn it, there's nothing that could beat your appeti--

Choji! What did you just say?!

Um, do you mean My appetite beats the cold?

No, it was before that!

Snow country?

Oh, right! I can eat ice cream even if I'm traveling in

snow country.

Heh! Travel!

So... a honeymoon?

Yeah. I'll give them a honeymoon. Thanks to you,

I came up with the perfect gift.

So where are you off to now, then?

I have to decide on a destination for them

and then go and check it out.

And I'm gonna have to get a woman's point of view so that I can

get a sense of whether Hinata might like it.

If only Ino were here right now.

Check it out.

Huh?!

Uh?!

[gasping]

Oh, hey, there... It's been a while.

Ever since that one day, huh?

Yeah, that's right. So, um, what are the two of you up to, today?

Oh, just stuff... We had a little lunch. How 'bout you?

Uh..

I'm here to discuss the Chunin Exams, and I've been making my

rounds to catch up with a few people here.

Oh, yeah? Is that so?

What's the matter with you, Choji?!

I thought you mean Ino was there.

You said that you needed a woman's point of view, but

that doesn't mean that Ino has to be the one to help out.

But this is Temari! She's a warrior-type to the core. I

can't talk to her about some wedding gift!

Seriously? You're gonna give them a honeymoon as a

wedding gift? Ha! Talk about a ridiculous and

pathetic idea!

I just know that her response would be something like that.

But, I mean, couldn't you say the same thing about Ino, too?

Hey, just what are you two whispering about over there?

Oh, it's nothing!

I think that Shikamaru wants to talk to you about

something.

T-Talk to me?

How about sometime... we, uh...

...have dinner or something like that?

Oh, uh so you wanna talk? About what?

Damn it, Choji!

[grunting]

I can't very well come out now and say something like,

it's no use talking to Temari about honeymoons.

Well, uh...

I have no choice.

Huh?

All right, you see the thing is... I've been giving

some really serious thought to honeymoons lately.

[gasping]

So, if it were you, where would you like to go?

Ah! Where would I like to go on a honeymoon?!

W- What's wrong?

N-Nothing. So, a... a honeymoon, huh?

And, uh, is there a reason why you're asking me,

in particular...

Huh? Well, I just figured that-

Wait a second... I can't come out and say it doesn't

really matter who, I just need any woman's opinion?

I just thought that out of everybody, the best person to ask is you!

What?! I'm the best one out of everybody?

I think I see... So that's it, huh...?

Okay, I'll hear you out.

Oh, wow, that's great! Well, I was thinking that going

somewhere like a secluded hot springs would be a nice and

relaxing vacation.

Or does that sound like something an old man would do?

No, a trip to a hot spring sounds great!

Really? I'm so glad to hear that! I mean, good food and a hot

spring! That sounds perfect, right?

Good. At least I got confirmation. So now...

You just have to choose where to go, right?

Huh? Oh, yeah, I guess so. Maybe I can go check a few of them out.

It's still pretty early. Why not go right now?

That's true. All right, then-

I'm going to go to the sweets shop now, so why don't you two go?

[gasping]

[chuckling] I'm really sorry, but I just gotta have a

little dessert after eating!

Oh, come on, you just ate!

You know there's a different stomach for dessert.

You had desert! Now you want dessert to dessert?!

[gasping]

You idiot! Because of Choji's big mouth, Temari is standing

there all red-faced and upset!

Oh, um... Choji didn't mean to get you upset or

anything. Since we were talking about honeymoons, he just

figured there's no sense in me going alone.

That's right. A honeymoon is meant for two, so you guys

should go together.

Uh?!

Okay, bye, you two. I'm gonna take off now!

Hey, uh Choji...?!

[grunting]

What exactly am I supposed to do now?!

[grunting]

I'll go.

Huh?

How did it end up like this? And what's with this

weird tension?!

I never expected Temari to be helping me choose a wedding

gift for Naruto and Hinata...

But why's she so silent all of a sudden? I can't get

a read on her at all!

First, I have to get her out of her bad mood.

Hey, you know... since we're out, you wanna...

...make a couple stops?

Oh, okay... that sounds fine...

Uh!

[grunting]

[grunting]

Now that's rare! You, missing a target?

[gasping]

No way...

[chuckling]

[chuckling]

Sorry I couldn't win any more.

[giggling]

[gasping]

I'm not sure, but I think she's in a good mood now!

[humming]

Thank goodness! It's still here! When I saw it last

time, I knew it was the perfect wedding gift.

It's cute and sweet and simple. It's really one of a kind!

I have to dig into my savings to afford it, but I just know that

Hinata is going to love it!

Anyway, my wedding gift to them is all set now!

[gasping]

Oh! Hello, Ino! What a surprise!

How funny! I was gonna say the same thing to you!

No way-!

Is she-?!

Oh, by the way, have you seen Naruto recently?

Mm-mm. Not at all.

It's hard to imagine, Naruto getting married. He used to

be so crazy about you!

Oh, that was way back when we were just kids. I'm really

very happy he and Hinata are together.

I knew it...

She's also...

(both)... planning on getting that as her wedding gift!

I have to get that picture frame before she does! But how?

Uh!

Uh... listen, I don't mean to be rude, but you weren't planning

on getting this for Naruto and Hinata's

wedding, were you, Sakura?

Huh?

That's right! I have to provoke her and make her feel too

proud to buy it!

I mean, that's impossible, right? You would never get

them something so tacky, would you?

[grunting]

I'm not gonna fall for that one! She's just trying to diss

that picture frame so I won't buy it!

What are you trying to pull? You were totally about to buy

it just a second ago and you know it.

Uh! No, that's--

How could you even think about buying something as tacky as

that? It's so stupid!

What?! Stupid?!

I never said I was going to buy that thing! I was only

gonna move it out of the way because it's

obviously a big piece of junk!

[clearing throat]

Look, you may have more brute strength, but you don't have

any taste at all!

Brute strength?! Are you kidding me?! I mean, seriously, that

is a completely lame comparison!

Excuse me... but you're starting to annoy all the other cust--

You see, Ino! You're annoying everybody, like always!

What do you mean, me?!

[arguing]

This is mine!

Hands off! It's mine!

I found it first--

Now, now. Please calm down! Don't pull so hard on that,

or else you might-!

[grunting]

Back off and shut up!

[humming]

You've got some nerve!

[grunting]

Hm!

Nice. Because of you, we got kicked out of there!

I should be saying that to you!

You don't know what compromise means, you have no regard for

anyone else, and you have no chest! All you have is brute strength.

Huh?!

My chest has nothing to do with this!

The fact is, you never win against me, so you always bring

up something unrelated! You're so immature.

I don't know the meaning of not winning. And besides,

I win hands down in being feminine!

Being feminine?! You? How?

Now, now, guys. Please, just stop fighting, okay?

Choji! Great! Your timing is perfect! Which one of us do

you think is more feminine, me or Sakura?!

Huh?! You can't ask that out of the blue!

[chuckling] Even Choji, your own teammate, won't

pick you over me! How sad!

Ha! Choji's not on your team, but he won't even try

to flatter you. That's what's really sad!

Hey, come on, now. Cut it out.

Wait, hold on a second... If you really want to know,

then why don't you put it to a test?

What? A test?

For example, personally I think that someone who can

cook is very feminine. So maybe you could see which

of you cooks better?

Okay, let's begin this challenge!

The person who makes the tastiest food pills will be

declared the winner.

You'd better watch out, Sakura. I know what you like and

dislike. All that I have to do is cook up something that'll

make you gag.

And the judge is gonna be Choji.

Huh?! You mean you're not gonna eat this?!

Works for me! I may have just eaten a whole mountain of ice

cream, but I always have room for a few food pills!

Wait, just hold on... This isn't right. Choji's my

teammate. That gives me an unfair advantage!

Fine by me. Anyway, you should be okay with having an edge...

...unless you were planning to poison them to make me sick.

But you wouldn't do that, would you?

As if I would ever do that! Come on, let's just get this

thing started!

Now let the contest to see who's more feminine by making

food pills, begin!

Ready...?!

Now fight!

Whoa, what is this?! Instead of a mortar and pestle, she's

using her fine chakra control to get the ingredients to the

size she needs!

I can't wait to taste the sensation!

Whoa!

She's searing the ingredients with fire power!

Now Sakura's using some legendary golden honey!

Ino's adding cacao powder! Both seem irresistible!

Th-This is--

[eating]

It's... it's...

[yelling] Yum!

So delicious!

It's rich, yet not overpowering, an indescribable

something that explodes on your tongue, a delicate

aroma and lingering taste, a treasure trove of sweetness!

Choji!

Hm?

So, which one is it?

Which tastes better?

Oh, I ate 'em both so fast I couldn't tell!

[groaning]

But they were both really, really good!

[struggling]

Choji!

Choji?! Choji!

[gasping]

I have made so many great friends in my life.

Noooo!

Choji! Don't die! Please!

What is going on? Is his life flashing before his eyes?!

Ino! You did use poison, didn't you?!

You know I wouldn't do that! Just who do you think I am, anyway?

I've made so many great friends...

This is really not good! Choji's delirium's getting

even worse!

[grunting]

What are you doing?!

I have to identify what's inside of these food pills

before I can know how to treat him.

If there's any poison in them, my tongue will go numb.

I told you, I didn't put poison in these!

Damn it, oh, alright!

[eating]

Delicious!

Mm!

How did you-?! This is like my favorite flavor!

Mine too! This tastes amazing!

Oh man, I think I just ate too many sweets!

My blood sugar probably shot up too fast.

But I feel okay now!

Is that what just happened?! Thank goodness.

Hey, Ino... Why would you go out of your way to make something I love?

To tell you the truth, I kinda just thought that if I

made you gag with surprise, then I'd win the contest!

Really?! You know what's funny?

That was my strategy as well!

Huh?! No way, you, too?

I guess, then, it's no wonder I love how these taste.

[eating and giggling]

In the end it seems that we both saw right through each other.

Since we know each other so well, there's something I

wanna say to you, that okay?

What is it?

Don't you think that we'd find an even better wedding

present if we both teamed up and looked for one together?

[giggling]

What now?

Sakura... I thought the same thing!

That inn seems nice.

Huh?

I'd better hurry up and choose a place, or I'll keep

mulling over this wedding gift forever.

I just have to pick something!

Okay. Let's go in!

Wait. What?!

What's wrong?

I thought we were just gonna look...

Yeah, but we have to go inside or we won't be able to make a

good decision.

But I'm not really mentally prepared.

What? Mentally prepared? Is she panicking because

this place too fancy?

It's okay, Temari! Let's just go inside

and then we can decide.

It'll be too late once we go in! I could get all caught

up in the mood or something like that.

What is she talking about? The mood? The mood of that inn?

What does she mean by getting caught up in it? I don't get it!

[gasping] Wait Temari, hold on!

You don't have a fever, do you?

All right, I've had enough! I think I need to go home!

Wait, it'll be dark soon!

Seriously, if you're not feeling well, then we really

should book a room so you can get some rest!

[grunting]

Please wait! I really--

I need you!

You're sure? That I'm really the one?

Yeah! You're the only one!

[gasping]

I mean, I can't just walk into the women's bath to check it out.

Huh?

Temari, I need you to do this for me... Go into the women's

bath and report back with every detail!

That's all! It should be easy, right?!

Wait a sec. What exactly is this all about?

Well, what else? I wanna give Naruto and Hinata a honeymoon

for their wedding present, and I need to choose a good place!

Oh, so that's what's going on, huh?

Uh, yeah... Didn't I explain it earlier?

No. This is the first I've heard of it!

[gasping]

[grunting]

[slurping]

So you're back to square one in your search for a

wedding gift?

Mm-hmm. But I think it turned out for the best in the end.

And? How 'bout you, Shikamaru?

Trying to explain things is a drag.

[chuckling]

(Killer Bee) It's Naruto's Wedding! Hinata's in love, fellas!

And I'm totally jealous! Fool, ya fool!

A wedding gift, I gotta prepare, something extravagant

and rare. If the cost is too steep, split it among my peeps!

Now I wanna get married, too! I will, for sure! I'll be

the next one up! I'm so popular!

I'm about to burst, that's my stance!

I'm on the frontline of romance.

Next time on Naruto Shippuden: "Hidden Leaf Story, The

Perfect Day for a Wedding, Part 4:

The Kazekage's Wedding Gift."
