Disclaimer: Naruto isn't mine.
The morning that Ino found a large, cardboard box on her door step was a morning that she would never forget.
Not only was it the morning that she had had her first hang-over (drinking two crates of sake the night before did do that to a gal), but it was also the morning of her eighteenth birthday.
Naturally, Ino expected lots of presents, at least from Shikamaru and Chouji--if not from Sakura and the rest of the shinobi in their year.
What she did not expect, however, was the box. Especially not its contents: another three cases of sake and a poem entitled "Finally Legal," which was signed by means of a stamp shaped like a frog's foot.
As it turned out later, the day that Ino turned eighteen was a memorable one for all of Konoha; they had never heard Ino scream as loudly as she had then, nor had they seen the white, bushy-haired sannin run away quicker.
