"Then how about we do those Uchihas now?" suggested Kurenai.
"JUST Sasuke and Ino first!" said Gai.
Sasuke and Ino went to the appointed place and posed. After that, their abundance of children were brought in. Shika and Cho were placed on the borders of the pictures since they were so colorful and different while all the sons were placed just according to height… even though they were all within two inches of each other. As for Hana, she was just randomly splurged in the middle.
The family had some experience with pictures so they were all ready for it to be taken. And, unfortunately for Sakura and the rest of the Uzumakis, their picture came out splendidly.
"And now let's put Tashoku and the baby in there too." Said Kakashi, gesturing for Tashoku to come in.
Tashoku was a little worried that she was going to ruin the Uchiha aura. I mean, she's only been an Uchiha for not even two years!! WHAT IF SHE MESSED IT UP?!
But she didn't. The picture was fine.
"Okay, the Uchihas can go away." Kakashi said. "Except for you two and your kid." He pointed at Sasuke Jr. and Tashoku.
"Is that necessary?" asked Sasuke Jr. asked Kiba. "I mean…is it okay?"
"You're married to my daughter!!" yelled Kiba. "I need a family picture of you and your family!!"
"Just go along with it." Tashoku said to Sasuke Jr. "He's probably going to frame it and keep it at his bedside."
"So you really want your daughter and grandson and I'm just along for the ride?" Sasuke Jr. asked.
"I would have said yes to that…" said Kiba. "But because you married my daughter and she loves you so much, I love you vicariously through her!" Then he topped off saying that with horseshoe eyes.
So Kurenai posed their adorable little family and Kakashi took the picture.
"That's one for the photo album!" said Kiba loudly.
"Dad, you don't need to make your presence so known." Said Tashoku in a hushed voice.
"Of course I do!" said Kiba. "This day is all about me!" Then he paused. "And Hinata."
"Thank you Kiba." Said Hinata with a smile.
They looked back at the picture area to see that Kakashi had already forced Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to pose in a picture with him and Gai was now taking the picture.
"Okay…even though I wasn't planning on letting each team do that…" Kiba said but he probably was anyway.
"How about one of Pansuke and Kobiru?" said Sakura.
"Why would I want a picture of Pansuke and Kobiru?" said Kiba, looking morally offended.
"WE want a picture of Pansuke and Kobiru." Said Sakura, sounding annoyed.
"FINE." Said Kiba. "But Kobiru can't be in it."
"PANSUKE AND KOBIRU." Naruto repeated loudly. "Meaning Kobiru HAS to be in it!"
"But she's already been in more pictures than I want her to be in!" Kiba whined.
"It's only been one picture!" said Kobiru.
"I KNOW!!" said Kiba. "That's more than I wanted!!"
But Pansuke and Kobiru ended up getting their picture taken anyway, even though it offended Kiba so much.
"Let's do Lee and his wonderfully youthful family next!!" said Gai excitedly.
"ALL RIGHT!!" said Lee. "Let's go, Tenten! Let's follow the trend of the rest of the families and first take a picture of just you and me!!"
"…Okay…" said Tenten, wondering why she wasn't quite as enthusiastic about these pictures as her husband.
"Mom, you don't have to be so sad when we take pictures all the time!" said Lil Gai as he adjusted his bow. That only made Tenten sigh louder.
"Just think mom." Said Lil Lee. "In comparison, we must look REALLY good."
"…what?" Tenten asked, fully not expecting that.
"Sorry." Said Lil Lee. "I know we've both been THINKING it for years."
"Yeah but we've never said it!" said Tenten as if she were offended FOR Lee and Lil Gai. Then she sighed again because she knew it was true no matter how much she tried to deny it.
"Lil Lee, are you going to take a picture with just Kikei?" asked Lee.
"No." said Lil Lee. "Why would I do that?"
"Yeah, true." Said Lee. "It is kind of silly to take one without your wife."
Lil Lee winced at the mention of the word 'wife'. Usually he'd be able to shrug it off with little or no damage but with Kobiru's recent subject of conversation, it was an open wound.
"Besides." Said Lee. "We're probably the least connected to Kiba and Hinata out of everyone here so we really have to take what we can get."
So, after Tenten and Lee took their picture, Lil Lee and Lil Gai joined them. After THAT picture, Kikei joined them too. It was so lovely. Except the picture had a bit of a sad aura even though Lee and Lil Gai's smiles were so bright.
ANYWAY!!
"Neji and his family can go now." Said Kiba, caring less and less as they went to the more random people.
Neji went up with Hichou and his pointless daughter. They got their picture taken with hardly any words. And since Neji's wife/significant other was not present/alive/in existence, it would be awfully strange to take a picture of him standing there by himself.
"And now for our team!!" said Gai as he grabbed his walker and slowly walked over to the appointed place.
"ALL RIGHT!!" cheered Lee, giving a thumbs up. Tenten gave her same tired smile and Neji just stood there looking as though he was trying to stare the camera down.
"Now who's left…?" Kiba said, looking around. "Shikamaru! You have to go and then all the families will be done!"
"Aw…" said Chouji. "I don't have children to take a picture with. Is it all right if I join you two, Shikamaru?"
"No." said Shikamaru. "It's not all right."
Chouji sniffled a little bit. Everyone pitied him, but the only one who offered him a hanky was Inoshi because Inoshi knew what it was like to be hated.
"Thank you so much Inoshi!" said Chouji as he blew his nose loudly and unrealistically. "You're like my ONLY FRIEND!"
"Um…" Inoshi said slowly.
"Will you be in my picture?" asked Chouji. "Considering I get one?"
"Um…" Inoshi started. "It…won't…make any sense…"
"But I don't want to be alone!" Chouji cried.
Sasuke's dadoo senses began tingling. He was a bit frustrated that he had to once again save Inoshi from being raped by Chouji but it was his fatherly duty.
So he came and he wedged himself in between Chouji and Inoshi. Yes. He had to wedge himself because Chouji was SO close to Inoshi, they were touching.
"Inoshi." Said Sasuke. "Go get the baby."
"Why?" Inoshi asked.
"Because I want to hold him." Sasuke said.
"But you were JUST talking to Sasuke." Said Inoshi. "And he's holding him."
"I want YOU to get him." Said Sasuke.
"All right…" said Inoshi as he walked off to get Little Sasuke.
"Now for a team picture!" said Asuma after Shikamaru and Shikataro had finished their picture. "I get to stand next to Shikamaru!"
"Me too!!" said Chouji, getting over his sadness.
"I feel so left out of this group." Said Ino.
"Don't feel left out." Said Shikamaru. "Feel lucky."
Ino could see the look in Shikamaru's eyes that he was truly AFRAID of what Asuma and Chouji might do if he got too close.
"Um…I'M standing next to Shikamaru." Said Ino. "And…er…Inoshi is standing on the other side of him."
"What?" said Inoshi, turning around as Ino grabbed him and pulled him over.
"Inoshi isn't on our team." Said Asuma.
"He is now." Said Shikamaru.
"Oh Shikamaru, if you say so!" said Chouji.
"You owe me one, Shikamaru." Said Ino as their team…and Inoshi… all lined up for the picture.
"Um…why was I in that picture?" Inoshi said after the picture was over and done with.
"Sorry about that." Said Ino.
"See Inoshi!" said Chouji. "It wasn't weird! Now you can be in my picture!"
"Inoshi's already been out of place enough today." Said Ino. "Why don't you pick someone else?"
"Aww…" said Chouji as he put his arm around Inoshi. "But me and Inoshi have gotten to be pretty good friends, haven't we Inoshi?"
"What?" asked Inoshi curiously. Suddenly, Sasuke and Sasuke Jr. appeared out of nowhere.
"Where are we going, dad?" asked Sasuke Jr.
"Inoshi." Said Sasuke as he handed Little Sasuke to Inoshi. "Bring Little Sasuke to Senjou."
Inoshi was beginning to get flustered and confused.
Suddenly, Senjou walked over. "Dad, why'd you just leave out of nowhere?"
"Senjou, go over there and stand there." Said Sasuke as he shoved Little Sasuke into Inoshi's hands. "Inoshi, I want you and Senjou to change Little Sasuke's diaper."
Now EVERYONE was confused.
"HAW HAW HAW!!" laughed Chouji as if this whole thing wasn't designed to get certain people away from him.
"Chouji, I've decided you don't get a picture because you're just being downright creepy." Said Kiba as if that wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings.
"HAW HAW HAW!!" Chouji bellowed even louder.
"OKAY ANYWAY!!" said Kurenai. "Now we're going to do a big group picture!! OF EVERYONE!!"
"WOW!!" exclaimed everyone as they dove to the picture-taking place in a mad rush.
"I'll stand in the way back!" said Chouji. "Because I'm the biggest!"
Everyone sort of backed away from Chouji.
All of the families congregated in certain places and tried to stay near their teammates and spouses and extended family members. Meaning the Inuzukas and the Uchihas had to be near each other so Sasuke Jr. and Tashoku could look like they were apart of both families.
"Wow, this is so precious!" said Gai.
"Now let's get in too." Said Kakashi as he set the camera on a timer and the four of them hurried over to get in the picture. Everyone smiled happily except for the people who didn't. You know, people like Shino… and Jijo and Sanjo… and Neji… and… Lil Lee.
"WONDERFUL!" said Asuma after the picture had been taken. "Let's do all the GIRLS now! Then we'll do the GUYS!"
"I'm all pictured out." Said Shikamaru.
"Yeah." Said Chouji. "Me too, Shikamaru."
Shikamaru secretly wished that Sasuke would run over and rescue him with some sort of ridiculously obvious task but he didn't. So Shikamaru just turned away from Chouji and pretended to be interested in the trees. But knowing Shikamaru, he was actually genuinely interested in the trees.
"I'm so hungry." Said Chouji. Then he realized that Shikamaru wasn't paying attention so he decided to look around for someone he could potentially talk to. Like Shikataro. Or Inoshi. Yes. Inoshi. Something about Inoshi…
