Snap out of it, Choji! Stay focused! We aren't some little brats who need to be protected anymore! We're the protectors now! Do you want Asuma to murder his own child? Your idea of kindness is wrong!
Yeah Shikamaru is right, Choji. Just remember the piercings and what they stand for.
Quit whining and pouting, Choji! Remember, you're the 16th head of the Akimichi clan.
[flashback] Let's see... the symbol on the far right belongs to us, the Akimichi clan right? And the other two are...
The middle one's the Nara clan's, and the leftmost one is the Yamanaka clan's, three clans that use highly unusual secret ninjutsu. We've been combining our powers for many generations now and the three clans share a special relationship. To strengthen our union and protect our clans, the Sarutobi clan bestows ear piercings upon the three of us, and every generation the members of our clan swear an oath of loyalty on those earrings, so they're not just mere decorations son.
