Naruto/Drinking Game

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Drinking game for Naruto:

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

The following set of rules have been created for play with alcoholic beverages in mind, but can be just as extensively enjoyed with non-alcoholic replacements. Although there are no specific guidelines when it comes to the amount of what constitutes a "drink", "sip", etc., participants are encouraged to ascertain (and discuss amongst one another if more than one person is present) personal limits beforehand.

However, if you find that you would like an established guideline: For this drinking game, a sip is roughly half a mouthful of your drink. For those that play using shots, they also count as one sip.

Because of the vast differences between Parts I and II, and even between the story arcs themselves, some rules may become less common after a certain point in your game. For this purpose, there are not only more rules, but there are a few "extreme rules" to help those that want "a challenge".

      • Finish your drink if a character is barefoot. Down two if it's a kunoichi. Three if it's Sakura or Hinata.
  • Challenge- Take four drinks at leisure if you catch any instance of Four Is Death in the series.
    • Mentions of Four Is Death equals a Suicidal Rule due to the sheer number. Ironic.
  • One drink anytime the token idiot of a squad someone does something astonishingly stupid.
    • 3 and a half if Neji is the culprit. Good luck finding that rare moment.
  • One gulp each time Sasuke mentions his clan, two each time he mentions revenge.
    • Another gulp for each time he mentions or thinks about Itachi. Another sip for each mention or thought during a flashback.
  • Chug the whole freaking drink if someone pulls a Deus Ex Machina. If it involves the Great Snake Escape, down a whole pack of beer and shout the filthiest swears you know at Kishimoto, with a Skyward Scream thrown in for good measure.
  • Each time someone mentions something about a "ninja way".

  • A gulp for every perverted action, expression, gesture, thought, comment, or fantasy Jiraiya commits.
  • One sip each time Orochimaru does something disturbing or snakelike with his tounge.
  • Two big swigs for every mention or thinly-veiled innuendo about Tsunade's buxom chest- two more sips if you catch the Stealth Pun at the start of this sentence.
  • One drink for every time Shikamaru says "How troublesome/What a drag."
  • Three gulps for each manical laugh Hidan gets off.
  • Take two drinks while flipping a crisp stack of dollar bills in your hand if Kakuzu mentions money.

  • Filler Rule: Take one drink for every ten episodes of filler you encounter.
    • Suicidal Rule: Watch all the filler in one setting while abiding by the Filler Rule. Puke on a photo of the main studio that animates Naruto afterward. Yeah... it's gonna suck.
