Quiet Drink
"You don't need to drink enough for them." Tsunade sat in the barstool beside Chouza as the bartender slid her usual towards her.
"Your one to talk." He took another sip of his drink. "And this isn't even half of what I would drink with them."
"Yeah," Tsunade agreed. "Those two could be party boys, back in the day. The old Ino-Shika-Cho trio, lords of Partyville."
"We weren't that bad."
"Your fathers almost didn't hand down the title of Clan Head to you."
Chouza looked thoughtful for a minute. "Maybe it's about time I handed it down to Choji."
"If you think he's ready." Tsunade clapped Chouza on the back. "The growth of his peers is not his own."
"Good advice. Is it from your Grandfather?"
"It's what I've been telling the elders who think Naruto is ready."
