"Licking your sweaty sandals clean" Shikamaru said with a depressive slump he was utterly defeated and hadn't even endured one punch - hardly the way for a ninja to be beaten. "Hm, I was hoping you'd say that!" Tsunade said, she then rapidly began making handsigns. After a few dozen lightning fast movements a large smoke erupted into the air before Tsunade, slowly a cupboard emerged from the mist. As she open the cupboard Shikamaru's felt crushed - it quickly became apparent that Tsunade's legendary gambling wasn't her only addiction. The entire cupboard was lined with an assortment of shoes - and all of them looked worn. Anko's jaw dropped. "What!? How can you afford so many shoes!" Anko blurted out furiously. "I'm the Hokage after all, I do earn the largest amount Tsunade said quickly. Kurenai looked blankly at the shoes now spilling out of the cupboard - "Hey didn't you say your were going to give that pair of shoes to Sakura?" "Oh yes - well about that"...

Shikamaru had been gradually getting up during their long drawn out arguement and had leaped out of the Hokage's office. "Hey wheres Shikamaru?" Anko said peering around the room. Tsunade looked around until she saw the open window that was swining freely by it's hinges. "Damn kid. I'll get him later."
Much later Shikamaru had escaped a strange and humiliating punishment - or so he thought. It was nightfall and outside Shikamaru could hear footsteps to his family home. "Oh jeez." Shikamaru thought, she can't be serious about continuing that ridiculous punishment.

A small onvelope stating "Urgent mission" was slipped through the door.

The door flung open quickly, Shikamaru had been caught in a jutsu that transported him to the Hokage's office. "Well, so you thought you could skip out on your punishment hm?" "Tonight happens to be a meeting for the Kunoichi of the village" Shikamaru had recaught his wits slowly materializing the thought of all the Kunoichi's in the village getting to take part in his punishment, "I had to use the toilet, so I dashed out the window." Shikamaru offered hoping the Hokage would see reason. "Your a bad liar shikamaru" Kurenai appeared out of a corner in the room, rapidly sensing his awful predicament Shikamaru began sweating nervously. "Heres the deal - seeing as how I am a reasonable Hokage, we'll flip a coin. Either way your attending the meeting one way is in the form of a public spectacle. I'll never live that down Shikamaru thought with a grim feeling rising up inside of him. "Or - you will attend sitting under the desk attending to Kurenai's feet and my own like a good boy, Anko was called away on a mission to retrieve a lost student." Tsunade stated with a seriousness in her voice. "Heads or tails - your call bucko." Phew thought Shikamaru at least Anko was out of the picture!
