Location: Training Ground No. 10
"I'm exhausted... so thirsty..." Chōji collapsed onto the ground, stretching out his chubby hand toward Kamizuki Hikari like it was his last hope for survival.
"I'm super tired too!" Ino, mindful of her appearance, refrained from fully sprawling out on the ground.
As for Shikamaru, he was lying next to Chōji, pretending to be dead.
"Alright, take it slow. There's enough for everyone!" Hikari grinned as he pulled out a large barrel, then began pouring water into cups for the three of them.
Chōji grabbed his and downed it in one go.
"Ahh, that hit the spot. Seriously thought I was gonna die!" With some strength restored, Chōji plopped back down and started pouring himself another cup.
Ino sipped hers slowly, like a cautious little kitten.
Shikamaru didn't even bother using his hands. Lying on the ground, he lifted his head just enough to bite the rim of the cup and slowly drank.
"You three really have terrible stamina!" Hikari commented, assessing their performance. "Just three laps around the Forest of Death, and you're already done for? And you call yourselves the Ino-Shika-Chō trio? More like the Pig-Pig-Pig trio, if you ask me."
