Shikamaru and Chouji left Yakiniku Q without any particular next destination in mind. They were just aimlessly walking around. It didn’t matter if they did or didn’t have a goal in mind. Shikamaru was finally free of his worries on what to get.
“I get it, you’re going to give Hinata and Naruto a honeymoon trip as a gift, right?”
“Yeah, Chouji. Thanks to you, I finally thought up a good idea.”
Now, all Shikamaru had to do was select the destination. Then, go and give it the once over to make sure everything was of good quality.
Ah. He was going to have to ask for a woman’s opinion again, wasn’t he?
Where would he be able to find Ino? According to what she’d said when he visited her earlier about thinking of a gift, she would probably be on her way to buy her wedding gift…
As he and Chouji walked around, Shikamaru started glancing around storefronts.
“Are you looking for someone, Shikamaru? I can help.”
“Yeah, I want to hear a woman’s opinion. It’d be good if Ino was around.”
That being said, Konoha was a huge city.
The fact that Shikamaru and Chouji had managed to meet up while just walking around without the same destination in mind had been a great coincidence. If they now managed to bump into Ino, then it’d be a coincidence on top of a coincidence for all of Team 10’s combo, the Ino-Shika-Chou to be gathered in one spot.
The chances of them bumping into each other without any communication beforehand were, obviously, pretty much zero to none. Even if such a coincidental gathering of friends had happened in a fictional play or movie, the audience would have criticised it severely, calling it an series of impossible coincidences.
