#yoshino suddenly has years of nightmares that her son will pick up his fathers drinking habit disappear all at once

[dark-elf-writes]

I was going to have Naruto give them the bottle of bear blood I mentioned in the first part for the “wtf” moment, but I decided it would be so much funnier if Naruto accidentally gave Shikaku a healthy outlet for his stress drinking. Yoshino’s just glad her husband is now less likely to die of liver failure and will fight anyone that speaks badly of Naruto in front of her. As far as she’s concerned that boy saved their clan head.

Naruto: Big Shikamaru?

Shikaku: I told you you can call me by my name

Naruto: Big Shikamaru?

Shikaku: *sighs* Yes Naruto?

Naruto: Do you want the recipe for the smoothie?

Yoshino, slamming a hand over Shikaku’s mouth: I buy it from you! Hell, I’ll set up a monthly stipend for you if you set us up with the recipe and show me how to make it too.

Naruto: 🦊? Okay?
