Ino and Chouji are carrying – or 'schlepping', as Chouza would say – shopping bags loaded with fruit. Tu B'Shvat, the Festival of Trees, takes place on the fifteenth of the month, Chouji has explained to her, and it's a longtime Akimichi tradition to eat fifteen kinds of fruit. There are apples, grapes, cherries, a pineapple (she and Chouji joke about how it looks like Shikamaru's head), tangerines, oranges, dates, persimmon, kiwi fruit and mangoes imported from Kazenokuni, lychees, peaches, bananas, pomegranates, and a coconut.
Chouza is on duty and Megumi is on shift at Konoha Hospital, so Ino and Chouji have the house to themselves. He channels chakra into his fist and smashes the coconut in two, and they drink its sweet milk. Naked, they feed each other fruit, dangling grapes and cherries over each other's mouths, unpeeling tangerines and oranges, their hands becoming sticky with the juice of citrus and mangoes and peaches. Ino breakes a pomegranate in two, mashes it into Chouji's cock, and then unpeels a banana, wraps her lips around it and sucks. Unsubtle, but Chouji gets the hint. He takes an unpeeled banana, and Ino spreads her legs and arches her back as Chouji inserts the fruit into her. He fucks her with the banana, and then he removes it, pulls her onto him, and they make love on the Akimichis' sitting room floor amid the rinds and stones, their bodies and faces still sticky with juice.
