The chapter is narrated from Shikadai’s point of view, and takes place the night they passed the Genin Exam.
Shikadai goes into a lot detail how Sukiyaki is prepared and served.
He recalls having it at Boruto’s house when “Lady Hinata” prepared it; it was delicious.
Recalls having it with Boruto at Denki’s house, served by the butler.
In celebration of the passing of the Genin Exam, Chouji hosts a Sukiyaki dinner at the Akimichi residence.
Present at the dinner (along with Shikadai): Shikamaru, Temari, Ino, Sai, Karui, Choji, Inojin, Boruto, Himawari, Sarada, and Sumire.
Shikadai’s impression of Boruto:
Well, he’s not a bad person. No, he’s a rather nice guy, but knowing him, he’s not suitable for hot pots. This guy, he becomes oblivious of his surroundings when he gets excited. Even if it’s just a hot pot, once the Sukiyaki meat is placed, don’t expect Boruto to leave any scraps behind for you.
Also, Himawari is here today. Needless to say, Himawari is still a child, and can’t be expected to take control of the hot pot. And of course, Boruto’s devoted to looking after Himawari. Therefore, Boruto can’t be expected to take on the task.
A lot of chopsticks crossing as they fight over the meat (mostly Boruto and Chocho)
.
Sumire is overwhelmed and isn’t used to having such a chaotic meal (or having meals with others in general, as she lives alone). Shikadai noted that she’s said “Waaa” sixteen times already before they even started cooking.
Sarada is taking care of Sumire; cooking the meat for her and explaining show sukiyaki works.
Himawari moments:
Boruto cracks open an egg for Himawari.
While Boruto devours everything:
“Onii-chan, I want some meat too!”
“Sorry about that, Himawari!”
As the chaos ensues, Shikadai focuses on the small area of the Sukiyaki pot that he claimed for himself. And then Shikadai and Boruto eyeballs the same piece, with chopsticks in hand. They gave each other a glare. Shikadai was about to say something, but he realized that Boruto was trying to get the meat for Himawari. Shikadai backs off and lets him have it.
Himawari calls Shikadai, “Shikadai-oniichan”.
After dinner, the karaoke begins… and Shikadai falls asleep.
Shikadai wakes up to the mixed smell of “grease, hair product, and beer”. Shikamaru was carrying him home on his back. He pulls on his dad’s arms and gets off.
Temari stayed behind to help Karui clean up (and gossip).
They share some father-son talk about kenne (ケンネ) as they walked side by side. Kenne is a beef tallow in which the fat surrounds a piece of cow kidney. In the chapter, a piece of kenne was initially placed in the sukiyaki pot. By the end of meal, the kenne, after all the fat was melted away, revealing a sweet and tender piece of meat. Shikamaru compares it to being a Shinobi. You’ll have to work hard and endure a lot, but it will be worth it in the end, just as the kenne eventually reveals to be the best piece of meat.
