“Shouldn’t he be dead by now?” Kiba said, which was a fine comment considering Kiba himself ate nothing but meat. You couldn’t help but think that Hinata would have to do something.
“But well, at any rate, honey wine can be used as a medicine, and used in cooking too. If it’s Hinata, then I’m sure she’d be able to find a good use for it. Plus, she probably wouldn’t use it straight away. Isn’t it a wonderful and romantic idea for her to open a jar of honey wine one day and think back to her wedding day?”
“I see, thinking of it like that, a wedding present that’s mentioned in history and legends is a really good idea.” Kiba said, “And on top of that, it’s something used by the clan of Konoha’s founder. It’s definitely a fitting gift for me to give, as the future Hokage.”
Kiba was nodding with his eyes closed now. He was probably imagining his future Hokage self.
Shino, on the other hand, was quietly thinking. Something was bothering him a little.
Honey wine was an idea they’d gotten from the alcohol-lover Kurenai-sensei. Shino and Kiba hadn’t thought it up themselves. But, no matter how disinterested Shino was in alcohol, he did have a basic understanding of the variety of alcohol sold in the stores and bars of Konoha.
