Chapter six

Kenta internally sighed seeing the pair, he'd planned on talking with Kiba later on and try to fix the problems the spar yesterday had obviously caused, although it seems as though the young Inuzuka had different plans.

"Hello Kiba-san, is there something I can help you with?" Kenta asked in a friendly tone hoping to defuse the situation before it could start.

Kiba glared at him, "I want a rematch." Kiba growled out angrily getting different looks from the others who heard him.

Sayaka looked at him like he was joking, Naruto was much the same. Kenta had a neutral look as he had already guessed that's what he wanted. While up in the tree Chōji eating his crisps had a neutral expression of his own watching things unfold, and Shikamaru sighed hearing the declaration as he rolled his eyes.

"Kiba, you couldn't even touch him yesterday. What's fighting him again going to do, except make you lose again." Shikamaru commented from his perch.

Kiba's eyes shot to Shikamaru and he growled in his throat, "Shut the hell up Nara, this has nothing to do with you so back off. This is between me and Uzumaki."

Kenta sighed as he closed his pad up and plugged the Ink jar before he started to wipe and wash the ink from the brush, "Settle down Kiba-san, there's no need to be hostile. If you want a rematch simply see Iruka-san about it and I'm sure he'd be willing to arrange another sparr between us in our next Taijutsu session."

Kiba looked back to Kenta and growled more, taking his calm attitude as an offence like he was partly ignoring him or not taking him seriously, "Not like that Uzumaki, I mean a real rematch with no restrictions." Kiba snapped.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes from his perch again, "So basically you want to fight Kenta-san in a non-sanctioned spar, you're just asking for trouble."

Kenta sealed his pad, ink, and brush away and sighed, this wasn't how he was planning things to go down. He knew that if he agreed to this then that could possibly mean he'd have to reveal more of his abilities than he'd originally planned to. He knew that Kiba's style would be more formidable with his clan's Jutsu and his partner by his side, which was more than likely why he wanted it. His options were limited but he had only his self to blame.

"Fine then." was Kenta's response as he stood up, "I can tell you aren't going to take no for an answer so I may as well give you what you want." he finished explaining as he stood up and looked to Kiba.

The second Kenta stood up Kiba felt slightly uneasy, the whole time Kenta hadn't been intimidated by his tone or him in the slightest and now Kiba could see why he was a good four inches taller, those inches made a hell of a difference and made Kenta quite intimidating. But he had been the one to make the challenge and he couldn't back out of it now as they both headed to the middle of the yard for the fight.

The other students had started to notice the commotion and started to watch the two walk to the middle of the yard as word got around what was happening, up in the classroom Iruka had noticed the commotion in the yard and started to look out to see that Kenta and Kiba were at the centre, it didn't take a genius to work out what it was about. Normally he would have stopped it before it began but there was a something nagging at the back of Iruka's mind to let it go on, he wanted to see just what Kenta was capable of in a full fight and short of fighting Kenta himself this was the next best way.

As Kiba and Kenta stood apart facing each other in the middle of the academy yard the other students started moving back from the pair giving them room, mostly because they didn't want to get caught up in the fight that was about to happen.

Taking his hands out of his pockets Kenta sighed, "Just remember Kiba-san, you were the one who asked for this." he said in a loud enough tone for all to hear, he knew if an instructor came and stopped the fight chances are they would both get into trouble but at least now Kiba would get into more trouble for being the instigator.

Kiba started to growl as Akamaru jumped from his head taken a stance and growled as well, "Prepare to lose, no one disgraces an Inuzuka and gets away with it."

Kenta smirked, "If anyone is disgracing anything it's you griping over your injured pride, there's no disgrace in losing to a superior opponent."

Kiba snarled, "You would know better than me!" he yelled as both he and Akamaru sprinted at Kenta before both jumped and started spinning at high speeds their motions turning into blurs, "Gatsūga" (Fang Over Fang) Kiba yelled in the blind speed heading at Kenta with Akamaru alongside him.

Kenta smirked seeing the attacks coming as he raised his hands before he started running through a series of hand signs at a high-speed, something that caught a few eyes at his efficiency before he stopped and took in a deep breath getting wide-eyed looks from all around.

'Fūton: Daburu Renkūdan' (wind release: Double Drilling Air Bullet) Kenta mentally called his attack before firing two, weakened, pressurised blasts of air from his mouth at his opponents spinning forms.

The attacks collided mid-air, the first knocking Akamaru out of his attack straight away the small pup not having enough mass behind him to fight the collision. However, Kiba's attack and the air bullet collided and connected for several seconds as sparks from the friction between the two attacks shot off before the air attack burst outwards knocking Kiba out of his attack with a yelp before he hit the ground his clothes a mess from the impact.

The reactions varied all over the yard from those watching on, the civilian students were watching on were shocked to see someone their age could do something like that, each of the clan children was watching with interest.

Shino who was watching from over to the side was making notes of the fight interested in the fight due to what his insects had told him about Kenta that from what they could tell he was stronger that what he had been showing.

Hinata was watching the fight close to the main building her eyes wide seeing the fight, seeing how strong Kenta was, came as a partial shock, after hearing Naruto go on about how strong his brother was she had some expectations of his abilities but those were blown away by the sudden attack, now she didn't know what to think other than being impressed.

Shikamaru watching from his perch had his interest peaked slightly, he could tell that Kenta was different from the other civilians enrolled at the academy and that he was most likely the strongest in the class. A fact that was no doubt annoying some, and then there had been his fight with Mizuki the day before he could see that Mizuki clearly had a vendetta against the Uzumaki brothers. He'd noticed the switch with the matches as well, but he couldn't tell what it was all about.

Chōji for his part was watching the fight eagerly eating his chip and enjoying the show.

Naruto was watching on with pride in his Nii-chan. He had no doubt his brother was going to win, but he was wincing slightly knowing that Kenta had not wanted to use his Jutsu or show off his skills and attract attention. It looked like things weren't going as planned.

Sayaka was watching the match eagerly she knew Kenta would come out on top and watched with great interest. Even though they trained together, the only real sparrs they had were Taijutsu only never full on fights, Kenta had always refused. Now she could see why that attack would have hurt.

Ino and Sakura were over to the side on the other side watching as well, both were shocked seeing Kenta's Jutsu both were having similar thoughts along the lines of what Naruto had said the day before in class about beating his older brother and they couldn't help but laugh at the idea of the blond achieving such an act. But both looked to Sasuke with heart eyes and both had the same thought, 'but Sasuke could definitely do it���

Sasuke was watching the fight with an ever deepening scowl he'd enraged at losing to the red head and was planning to take what was rightfully his by doing what Kiba had done, by challenging the Uzumaki to a fight. He was sure the fight had only been a fluke and was determined to beat the Uzumaki no matter what his whore of a Kaa-san said on the matter, which had been many things after she had been informed of the acts that had transpired after Sasuke had been sorely beaten and embarrassed. Her words had only enraged him more; although he knew to hide his rage, or else risk getting disowned before he could become strong enough to become clan head. Such an act would greatly limit his growth without access to the Uchiha Jutsu archives, something that would be a great resource when he finally activated his Sharingan. The fact that Kenta could perform such a Jutsu mattered little to him when he compared it to the Jutsu that could be found in the clan archives, for now, all he had to do was bide his time and wait. Although that was proving difficult when Sasuke kept noticing how close Kenta and his sister were, such a fact might become a problem later on for him should their Kaa-san take a liking to the red head as well.

After Kiba's attack had ended Kenta frowned, 'Great I've had to reveal one of my Jutsu because of this, I can't use anymore now, I'll have to end this shortly' Kenta thought to himself as he watched Kiba get to his feet shooting him a glare, "So that's the Inuzuka clan's Gatsūga (Fang Over Fang), it's an impressive attack and when used in pairs I can see how it would be effective in a fight, although I think yours could use some work." Kenta called out as his frown turned into a smirk egging Kiba on again like he had done so in the sparr before wanting him to attack again and tire himself out.

Kiba growled "Shut up we'll tear you to shreds," Kiba yelled as he started running, "let's go Akamaru." he called back as his partner quickly joined him with an agreed bark before the started spinning again "Gatsūga" (Fang Over Fang),

Seeing the attack coming again Kenta frowned, 'Is that the only Jutsu they know?' Kenta pondered seeing the tunnelling twisters coming at him again as he took a second to weigh his options on whether to counter again or dodge, before leaping back as the attacks came in deciding to dodge and not waste any more chakra on Jutsu.

As Kenta leaped back out of the way he watched as both attacks continued on and made contact with the spot he'd just been standing in, as they moved away Kenta could see the large deep slash mark they both left in the ground in an X pattern, making Kenta's eyes widen slightly, "Ok, maybe it's not lacking in power." he said still in his jump, "But I hope you can do more than just this." he said watching as the two twisters shot into the air after hitting the ground before both of them suddenly pulled almost complete one eighty degree turns as they both shot at him at high speeds making Kenta's eyes widen further, 'Shit' was all he could think before he had to think fast as he reached for the handle of his sword and pulled it from its belt form and thrust it in whip-form colliding with the two twisters as sparks flew off on impact before knocking them away.

Kenta landed on the ground his sword now straight as he let out a breath, "Damn that was close, I didn't think I'd actually have to draw my sword in this fight, you're better than you look." Kenta complemented Kiba as he landed.

Kiba growled as he narrowed his glare on Kenta, "You ain't seen nothing yet, we're just getting started, right buddy." Kiba said getting a yip in approval from his partner.

Kenta smirked, "Well as much as I'd love to continue this little fight, I'd rather not show off all my skills on the second day. So I think I'm going to end this now." he said as he raised his left hand forming half a ram sign before muttering under his breath.

Kiba growled, "Don't be so cocky, I'm still going to kick your b…" he started to say before Kenta vanished from sight, or at least he did for the students. Kiba's eyes started darting all over the place in front of him trying to find where he'd gone, "Where the hell did you..." He started to speak before a voice behind him made him jump.

"Over here." Kenta's voice came making Kiba turn to see him placing his sword back around his waist and forming a half ram sign again.

Kiba growled, "Giving up?" he asked angrily watching his opponent.

Kenta smirked, "No just packing up, this fight is mine." Kenta explained his hand still in a half ram sign.

Kiba gritted his teeth at Kenta's words, "Like hell it is you bastard..." he started and he went to move to attack, only for Kenta to shoot a sideways glance at him when he suddenly felt his entire body stiffen up and the next thing Kiba knew was that he fell flat on his face unable to move a single muscle from his neck down, "What the hell, I-I can't move!"

The sudden declaration caused mutters and whispers start traveling around all the watching students who had seen the fight and couldn't tell what was going on, the only one who did was Iruka who was watching from the classroom window and was shocked at Kenta's speed and movements, he almost missed what Kenta had done, and had only just caught the last part of it.

Slowly Kenta turned and started walking towards Kiba, making the Inuzuka gulp. He was completely defenceless this guy could do anything, even kill him and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Akamaru moved in front of his master and started growling at Kenta who kept approaching regardless of the small pups angry snarls until he was standing right over the top of them both his shadow stretching over them.

Kenta's hand reached for his hip pouch, the sudden action made Kiba gulp thinking the other boy was going for a weapon, Akamaru got ready to attack and defence his master with his life as Kenta opened the pouch with a single finger, then suddenly Akamaru stopped growling and sniffed the air as a familiar scent caught his attention.

Slowly Kenta knelt down as he reached into his pouch and took something out before holding out his closed hand slowly in front of Akamaru opening it showing the small dog meat treats.

Sniffing the air slowly Akamaru started walking over to Kenta's hand and started to sniff the treats, Kiba's eyes widened, "Akamaru stay back they could be..." Kiba started to say but didn't finish when Akamaru looked to Kenta with a curious gaze.

Kenta smiled at the young pups look and chuckled, "It's ok, go ahead." he said with a smile getting a resounding pleasing yelp from the small pup before it started eating the treats out of Kenta's hand.

The action brought Kiba back as his eyes widened as he watched his partner take to this other boy, such a thing had never happened before, 'Akamaru has never let anyone outside of the clan feed him before, what's with this guy', Kiba thought as he watched Akamaru eat from Kenta's hand and even let the other boy scratch behind the pups ears as it eats.

Once Akamaru had finished he let a pleased yip and bark in thanks, Kenta nodded in understanding with a friendly smile, before he looked to the still paralyzed Kiba who was watching in shock and uncertainty, before Kenta sighed and rubbed the back of his head shaking it, before he spoke, "Look I'm sorry about yesterday." he said shocking Kiba slightly, "I didn't mean to hurt your pride, I got caught up in the moment and wanted to show off, and at the same time not hurt anyone. Well, all but Sasuke, but he had it coming. However, I'm seeing that did more harm than good with you, so I'm sorry if me not seeming like I was taking you seriously in our spar was insulting, I was just trying to have fun I didn't mean it." he said frowning as he stood up, "If you want I could give you a hand training, I can see you're strong, and I'm sure Akamaru here won't mind the extra company." Kenta said getting a yip in agreement from the small pup.

Kiba didn't respond the whole time he just looked down like he was deep in thought, Kenta sighed scratching his head, "Well at least think about it." he said before reaching down and taking something off Kiba's back and holding it up to reveal it was a piece of paper with black marking on it, "You should be able to move again now, it's a paralysis tag, my own invention, short range but effective enough to put someone down without harming them. No hard feelings." Kenta said holding out his hand for shaking as Kiba started to get up.

Kiba looked at the hand as he got to his knee and paused in thought, 'Akamaru doesn't trust easy and this guy seems alright if a bit of an arrogant ass', Kiba thought before sighing and giving Kenta a smirk before taking his hand, "Sure."

Scene break

It was the end of the academy day and everyone was heading their separate ways, Kenta had said goodbye to Sayaka and Naruto inside saying he was going to get some evening training in and that he'd see them later. A fact that Kiba had overheard and started wondering just what kind of training Kenta did in order to become so strong.

Deciding to find out as they walked out of the school gates Kiba ran to catch up with Kenta, "Hey Uzumaki, where are you heading?" Kiba called coming up behind the redhead.

Kenta stopped to let Kiba catch up before giving a smirk, "Just heading off for some evening training, the academy is a little too light on the physical aspects for my liking." Kenta explained.

Kiba scoffed, "Tell me about it. Hey you mind if we join you in your training?" Kiba asked as Akamaru yipped.

Kenta paused for a moment smirking at the request before chuckling, "Sure I don't mind, and just as long as the pair of you can keep up that is. My kind of training most would consider extreme."

Kiba grinned at the underlying challenge in his tone, "What's that supposed to mean, you think we can't hack it?"

Kenta smirked before turning and continued to walk on, "I guess we'll just have to see then won't we." he said as Kiba followed eager to get started, something that wouldn't last too long.

Time skip- Inuzuka compound

Three hours later the door to the main Inuzuka house opened and Kiba fell flat on the ground as soon as the door opened, his legs like jelly from the training, no torture that he'd just endured.

"How, the hell, can he call that a warm up, it lasted three straight hours." Kiba said out loud in a strained voice as Akamaru whined in agreement collapsed on Kiba's head.

Kiba lay there on the ground for a few second too weak to move as he heard a door opening before the sound of a familiar laughter filled his ears.

"Ha-ha-ha, what happened, you two look like you just ran the nation of fire's borders twice." the voice spoke in fits of laughter.

With a groan, Kiba tilted his head to see his elder sister, Hana, leaning on the doorway to another room laughing her ass off at him. She was dressed in her Chūnin uniform, a green form-fitting Chūnin flak jacket, the top of which was open showing her slight cleavage and the fact she wore nothing beneath it, and a pair of form-fitting shorts cut just above the knee, her long brown hair as always was combed back into a tight ponytail with two strands left hanging off her forehead framing her face next to her red fang markings on her cheeks.

Pulling himself to the wall and leaning on it with any strength he had left Kiba groaned, "That might actually be shorter than what I actually did, but if not it must have been close." Kiba said trying to rest.

That statement got Hana's attention, as she looked at the exhausted form of her Otōto, he'd clearly been training but she'd never seen him this exhausted even when their Kaa-san trained him, but before she could ask more another voice filled the hallway.

"So this is where I find you, glad to see you're upping your own training, but it would be best if you did it inside the clan perimeters so we can find you next time." their Kaa-san's voice was heard as she came in the front door with her partner Kuromaru by her side.

"I would have Kaa-san," Kiba said getting his breath back finally, "but I was training with Uzumaki, and I didn't know if you'd allow him in the compound."

Tsume paused to look at her son seeing his state of exhaustion and smirked, "I see, well whatever training you were doing seems to be working, you look like hammered dog shit."

Hana laughed at their Kaa-san's joke and smirked, "Couldn't have said it better myself."

Kiba groaned, "Not funny Kaa-san, Nee-chan." he said as he rested his head on the wall to tired to complain further.

Hana chuckled, "So what brought on this training then, I would have thought Kaa-san would be drilling you into the ground enough in training, you a glutton for pain or what?"

Kiba shook his head in defeat but before he could answer their Kaa-san did it for him, "He lost in a one on one spar yesterday to the older Uzumaki boy, he didn't have Akamaru with him and couldn't use our clan Jutsu."

The news made Hana raise an eyebrow looking at their Kaa-san, losing to a non-clan child regardless of the circumstances was a serious blow, she was shocked their Kaa-san hadn't torn Kiba a new ass hole for losing. However now this was bringing up some other questions why hadn't she done just that, and if this Uzumaki boy was stronger than Kiba in a Taijutsu spar, just how strong was he, "Well I could see how that could be understandable," Hana said looking to her younger brother, "don't worry shrimp you'll beat him next time."

Kiba looked down and sighed, "There's already been the next time." he said in a low tone making both women look to him, "I was sure I'd win and challenged him in a no-rules-fight, I went at him full force not holding back at all, but he still beat me, both of us with, he made it look easy."

Hana's eyes widened hearing that and she looked to their Kaa-san the second she heard it and gulped, her eyes were narrowed and her fists clenched and she could hear a low growl coming from her, losing once with restrictions would have been bad enough but losing a second time in a fight without them there was no excuse he could use this time. But much to Hana's shock the anger in the Inuzuka matriarch tapered slightly as she looked to calm down even if it was just barely, before she spoke, "Start talking pup." well it was more of a low growl or snap than anything else.

Time skip

After his Kaa-san's order to talk, Kiba sang like a bird explaining everything that happened in the fight, how he'd challenged Kenta to the one on one, how he'd attacked first and Kenta had countered with an elemental Jutsu the first time and dodged the second time, and how his speed had suddenly gone beyond what he could track before he was able to plant that paper on him that paralyzed him, all of this had both Inuzuka women listening intently, but the thing that caught their attention the most was that Akamaru had eaten out of Kenta's hand, such an act wasn't to be taken lightly Inuzuka Ninken were extremely loyal and every well trained even at a young an age as Akamaru was and doing such a thing meant that Akamaru saw him as trustworthy, adding on to that the fact that he was able to defeat Kiba so easily, he was starting to peek both women's interests.

Now more docile after hearing the play by play Tsume spoke, "So what did you learn from training with him, did you figure out where you were lacking in your own?"

Kiba frowned, "I learned what he calls training, I call insane. Just for a warm up, he did forty laps of the village perimeter at full speed."

That statement made them look at Kiba wide-eyed, the village spanned ten kilometres, the outer wall was over sixty kilometres from one end to the other, running something like that at their age was insane.

Hana whistled impressed, "Kid's got stamina I'll give him that."

"Indeed" Tsume sounded in agreement, "and with Akamaru's trust also, this Kenta is starting to intrigue me, using elemental Jutsu at his age, his feats keep growing, I think I'd like to meet this one."

"You wanna meet him?" Kiba repeated in shock at their Kaa-san's words as both he and Hana looked at her in slight shock as the Matriarch nodded.

"That's what I said, this young pup keeps sounding more interesting, bring him here tomorrow after class, I want to test his metal myself." Tsume said showing a bit of fang in a grin.

"Um, ok." Kiba agreed still slumped on the floor leaning against the wall as he looked up to his mother.

Tsume nodded, "Good," she said before looking to her partner, "Kuromaru, mind dragging these two to their room, I don't think they'd be able to get their otherwise, and we can't have them sleep in the hall."

The wolf-like hound nodded, "Right." he spoke as he moved to Kiba and Akamaru and caught Kiba's hood in his teeth and started to pull the two away much to their groaning at being moved.

Once they were around the corner Hana looked to her Kaa-san, "are you thinking what I think you're thinking about this Uzumaki boy?" she asked seeing a look in her eye.

Tsume gave her daughter a smirk, "Perhaps, he certainly sounds like he'd be up for the challenge." she said as she started to walk to the kitchen.

Hana followed her mother, "But if no child of out clan can do it, what makes you think an outsider can?" Hana asked knowing what her Kaa-san was referring to.

Tsume shrugged, "It might be precisely that reason that he can," she said as she went to open the door, "besides you heard what Kiba said, he's got plenty of stamina just think what it will be like when he's older. Besides it won't be long till you'll be needing an alpha, I can't wait for grand pups to spoil forever you know." she said as she laughed walking into the kitchen leaving a blushing beet red Hana in the hallway.

"Kaa-chan!!!!!"

Next day- Inuzuka compound front gates

Both Kiba and Kenta entered through the compound gates, Kenta looking around very impressed by what he saw, at first there had only been trees on the other side of the walls but they soon parted to show the multitude of houses, with a larger main house being divided off from the others, along with a large area of the compound, by a second wall.

Kenta gave an impressed whistle, "So this is your clan's compound, very nice." Kenta said as he looked around again, "Plenty of space to train and sparr, I can certainly see its benefits." he finished as they came out of the forest pathway to open terrain, Kenta looked to Kiba, "So why'd you ask me to come over, if you want another sparr I wouldn't mind giving you one although I'd have to ask it only be Taijutsu?"

Kiba looked at Kenta rubbing the back of his head; "Well you see the thing is���" he started before a second voice broke the air.

"Actually," spoke the voice making both boys turn to see Tsume coming out of the forest area Kuromaru at her side, "I was the one who asked my son to bring you here." she explained as she walked towards them.

Kenta's eyes narrowed slightly seeing the sudden appearance of a new face as he began to put the facts together, she called Kiba her son that would make her his Kaa-san and given who Kiba was mean she was Tsume Inuzuka, Kenta quickly weighed her up as he'd been trained and taught how to do when unknowns came into play, 'Middle aged female, roughly five four, a hundred pounds maybe slightly more, no visible weapons although given experience and age may be concealed' Kenta thought before looking to the dog at her side, 'Singular eye and ear, possible blind spots, size could be a problem, assessment, approach with extreme caution speak with respect'

As Tsume approached them she raised an eyebrow slightly seeing the boy she'd heard about, his red hair certainly was striking, and he was a lot taller than she was expecting, and when she saw him looking at her she could tell from his gaze exactly what he was doing, 'Gauging my threat level, impressive, whoever was training this one did their job right, let's see how right though' Tsume thought with a smirk. "So this is the young pup that's been bouncing your butt all over the academy yard, ay Kiba." she voiced as she was still a bit away from them.

Kenta's eyes shifted to Kiba for a second, 'So he told his Kaa-san about me, I wonder what she wants from me' he started to think before he turned his gaze back to Tsume and spoke "good evening, Tsume-Sama, it's a pleasure to meet the head of the Inuzuka clan, may I ask as to why…" Kenta started to speak but before he could finish his sentence Tsume disappeared in a burst of speed. Causing Kenta's eyes to widen as he reacted.

Tsume reappeared as a Kunai slipped out of her sleeve and she grabbed it in a reverse grip and raised it to Kenta's throat with speed. As she reappeared in front of him, Kenta didn't even flinch before he spoke.

"Tsume-sama, please remove your kunai from my throat," Kenta requested like it was the most casual thing in the world as his eyes and hers met before Kenta's gaze hardened before he spoke again, "or I'm afraid things might get unpleasant.", he said in a threatening tone.

Tsume smirked at the hidden threat and was about to retort before a glimmer of light caught her eye making her look down and what she saw made her rethink her statement. Kenta had pulled his sword already and had it pointed at an angle ready to pierce her heart and end her in a heartbeat, before she looked back to Kenta and gave a wide grin, 'Oh he's been trained very well, very well indeed' she thought, "You've got balls of steel boy, not even flinching when a superior opponent bares down on you, some would call that foolish.", she joked still with her kunai to his throat.

Kenta's face didn't betray what he was feeling as he spoke, "I call it fight or flight, I can see we are both fighters." he reasoned not budging from his stance.

Tsume's grinned widened as she approved of the boy more and more, "And both alphas of our own packs, not many have the stones to speak to me like that."

"Not many are like me." was all Kenta replied with as they both stood still in deadlock.

Kiba stood watching the exchange in shock, he knew his Kaa-san wanted to meet Kenta but to do it like this was bordering on dangerous. But watching Kenta he was surprised to see he hadn't even moved when his Kaa-san came at him but instead drew his sword before having a conversation while they were in a deadlock. If it were between anyone else Kiba would call it a face down between two Alphas, which he knew his mother was, but for Kenta to be able to hold his ground like that and not back down made him gulp at the tension between the two of them.

After several more seconds Tsume's grin began to grow even wider before she burst out laughing taking her kunai away from Kenta's throat, "Damn, I knew to expect something, but I didn't think to expect this. Whoever trained you kid has done one heck of a job, most your age would wet themselves in a situation like that one"

Kenta's gaze softened as he smirked, "I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to my sensei, I'm sure he'll be glad his methods are working." Kenta said as he returned his sword to his waist, "Now let's get to the point, for what purpose did you have Kiba-san bring me here?"

Tsume smirked, "Two reasons, firstly I wanted to see first-hand the kind of man that was able to trounce my youngest pup not once but twice, so I wanted to test your metal myself and see if you were as capable as everything I've heard." she explained as Kuromaru joined her, "The second reason was dependent on my judgement of you, if you were a pussy I'd have just kicked you out, but as your clearly not I have a favour to ask that I hope you'll accept." she said as she gestured for them both to follow them.

Time skip

After several minutes walking through the compound, they came to a large stone door on the side of a man-made hill, pushing the door open the four of them started to walk inside and down the steps for a few meters.

As they walked Kiba was wondering why they were here as he looked to his Kaa-san, "Kaa-san why are we here? This is the…" he started but was interrupted by Tsume.

"All will be explained shortly pup." was all she said as they finally came to the inner doors and pushed them open revealing the dimly lit area in front of them, the only light was that of the torches around the room.

The ground was dirt covered and there were large stone pillars around the room with wooden torches illuminating the room, except for the far portion of the room which was mostly in shadows, Kenta was about to speak when the sounds of snarling echoed through the room from the shadows.

Hearing the sounds Akamaru quickly jumped down from Kiba's head and started growling himself in defence of his master, who was currently confused hearing the snarls, "What the?" he said before looking to his Kaa-san, "There shouldn't be any Ninken down here, what's…"Kiba started to ask before stopping seeing his Kaa-san's rather stoic expression as she looked at Kenta who seemed to be looking at the shadows with interest before looking to Tsume himself.

"Tsume-sama, is there a point to all this, and bringing me here?" Kenta asked as his mind ran through several situations but he wanted clarification before he spoke further.

Tsume nodded, "Yes." she said before pointing to the shadows, "That pup, for the last three months has refused to take any Inuzuka as it's partner, all of the young pups are afraid to go near it because it attacks anyone that goes near it, and for the young who have had very little experience with Ninken aside from their parents partners it can be a frightening experience." she said before looking to Kenta with interest, "After hearing of your victories over Kiba, not just once but twice, I thought perhaps you would be able to tame its restless spirit, it needs a partner now as it's close to the final date of its first year, if it doesn't have a bond formed with its partner by then it will go wild and we will have no choice but to put it down."

Kiba hearing this looked to his Kaa-san in shock, "But Kaa-san, I thought our laws only permitted clansmen to have Ninken, giving one to an outside, even one as strong as Kenta, do you think he can handle a Ninken?"

Tsume nodded, "Clan laws allow for exceptions to be made by the Clan alpha, and I believe Kenta is more than capable of it, and should the pup accept him it will save it from being destroyed."

Kenta listened to them talking as he looked into the shadows on the far side of the room, he could make out the small form of the pup pacing just beyond where the shadows started, he could make out its eyes and its small form, the thing that struck Kenta first was its eyes, the right one was ice blue and the other was a deep golden red, next was the fact that it was completely black from head to tail.

Taking a breath Kenta nodded, "Alright then." he spoke getting both Kiba and Tsume's attention as he started walking at a steady pace towards the shadows.

The movement made the small pup stop pacing before it faced Kenta, snarling at the approaching intruder, it bore its teeth and claws as it arched its back ready to attack.

As Kenta reached the five meter mark just before the shadows Kenta saw the small pup shift it's weight before he reacted and ducked and the small pup leaped out of the shadows and lunged for Kenta who ducked under the small pup that soared over his head and landed on the ground and swerved around growling again at Kenta.

It was then that Kenta could see the small pup clearly in the light for the first time, it wasn't like Akamaru, or at least not in the same breed, it's body, head and ears more closely resembled that of Kuromaru, and it wasn't all black as Kenta had first thought, there was a grey streak of fur running through its right blue eye.

After taking a second to turn to face it again Kenta took another step forward, the small pup reacted by getting ready to attack again letting out a low growl as a warning to Kenta to back off, which Kenta ignored and took another step forward, and another and another until Kenta was standing a meter in front of the small pup that was will growling at him.

Kenta paid no heed to the growling as he lowered himself to a squat in front of the growling pup that had yet to attack again. After a moment of watching the small pup, Kenta held out his hand over the small pup his fingers in for safety as he began to move it closer to the small pup.

The closer he got the deeper the small pup growled out and started to lower itself away from the hand as it got closer, but with an inch between the pup and the hand, suddenly the small pup closed its eyes and cowered away from the hand in fright as it was about to make contact as it let out small whimpers of fright.

A small smile peaked on Kenta's lips as he gently placed his hand on the little pups head feeling its soft fur coat as he gently pets its head as he hushed the small pup, "Shhhh, Shhhh, it's alright I'm not going to hurt you." Kenta spoke is a soft gentle tone as he gently rubbed the small pups head.

Hearing the soothing voice slowly the small pup stopped shaking and slowly opened its eyes as it felt the warmth of the hand on its head, as Kenta lifted his hand away and held it out open in front of the pup he smiled, "It's ok little one, no reason to be scared see." he said with a gentle smile as slowly the small pup started sniffing at his hand before it licked his fingertips making him chuckle at the action.

Back with Tsume and Kiba, Kiba was watching with an open jaw and Tsume burst out laughing, "Well I'll be damned, the kid actually pulled it off, guess there's a first for everything."

Slowly Kenta lifted the small pup up cradling it in his arms and started back to the smirking Tsume and the awestruck Kiba looking at him with astonishment.

"Well, it looks like everything is going to be fine with this little fella." Kenta smirked holding the small pup as it rubbed into the crook of Kenta's arm

Tsume smirked, "Well it seems that you two will get on just fine." she said before turning, "Come on Kiba's sister can give him a check-up before we have him registered as your partner."

Kenta nodded as they all started back up the stairs out of the building, as the small pup yawned in Kenta's arms making him and Kiba smirk. "Sleepy are you Midnight? Well, you can rest after you get the all clear from Kiba's sister. Enjoy it while you can because tomorrow training starts and I gotta get you up to my level if we're going to be fighting alongside each other."

Both Tsume and Kiba looked to Kenta with raised eyes, ""Midnight?"" they both asked for clarification.

Kenta smirked, "Yea, that's what his fur reminds me of, the Midnight sky, plus it sounds cool too." Kenta said with a smirk getting a Yip of approval from the small pup.

Tsume smirked, "Well it sounds like he likes it, Midnight it is then."

Kiba chuckled, "Good luck with training with him, it will take you ages to get him up to par with mine and Akamaru's teamwork."

Kenta smirked, "Oh yeah Kiba, I bet me and Midnight could trounce you and Akamaru after I've got him trained up a bit. I seem to recall being able to kick both your backsides myself, with Midnight helping I'll be able to do it twice as fast."

Tsume laughed hearing that, "Something's telling me you can already do it ten times faster by yourself, if what I spotted on your wrists are any indication." she mentioned shooting Kenta a knowing smirk.

Kenta's eyes widened as he looked at his wrists and saw his gloves had slipped and some of the weight seals were showing, that caught Kiba's attention as well.

"Hey, what's up with your wrists dude?" Kiba asked looking at the marking as Kenta covered them up, "That's a strange place to get inked."

Kenta looked at Kiba with a deadpan stare, "Your saying ink on the wrists is wearied, dude? Your entire clan's got two red fangs on their cheeks." he said in an are-you-stupid manner making Tsume and Kuromaru smirk as Kiba rubbed the back of his head sheepishly realising his own stupidity.

Tsume shook her head, "Plus, they ain't tattoos pup, they're weight seals, channelling chakra into them is like putting on training weights before training, I haven't seen them used in quite a while, got any more?"

Kenta frowned, "I'd rather not say, my training is meant to be secret, Tsume-sama I hope you can understand."

The Inuzuka matriarch nodded her head, "Fair enough pup, I was just curious when Kiba informed me of your fight the other day, about how you formed a hand sign before your speed suddenly increase I figured you were releasing something, I just wanted to know if I was right."

Kenta nodded, "I won't tell you what seals, but yes your hypothesis is correct, I was releasing them partially before I attacked, I wanted to end our fight quickly and without harming an ally. To use any of my other techniques might have done so, and the longer the fight went on the more I'd have to show, as it stands I didn't want to have to use any of my Jutsu but the fight forced my hand."

Kiba chuckled as they walked in through the main house wall rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "Eh, sorry about that by the way."

Kenta shook his head, "Forget about it what's done is done." he said as they walked into the house.

As they walked into the house they were met by three smaller pups each of them had the same grey fur with white undersides and short pointed ears, all barking excitedly, all of them came up to the height of Kenta's waist and started to sniff around the newcomer as he entered the house.

Kenta raised an eyebrow seeing them and looked to Tsume, "Triplets?" he asked in a subtle question getting a smirk from the matriarch as she nodded as a new voice answered.

"Good eye, most would just think they were of the same litter." spoke the female voice as its owner came through one of the side doors in the hallway, as Hana appeared now dressed in her veterinary uniform consisting of longer pants and a pale high collared shirt that flared out in a cone around the lower part of her neck that Kenta recognized as the standard medical uniform for most medical practicing shinobi after Sayaka had shown him one time in the past.

Kenta smiled, "Well given that there's no age difference between them and the fact that their coats are practically identical it would be hard not to notice." Kenta said before holding his hand out to her, "Kenta Uzumaki."

Hana smirked back, "Very good eye then." she said taking the hand, "Hana." she replied as Midnight gave a small yip and yawn from Kenta's other arm getting a small smirk from Hana, "Well look who's finally out of the den, finally found someone who you won't take a bite out of then?" she said giving the small pup a smirk.

Kenta smirked, "Yea, Midnight was just frightened that was all, just putting on a brave face." Kenta said as he rubbed Midnights head gently.

Hana smiled at the scene, glad that he was being gentle with the small pup, she could see the two were made for each other and her Kaa-san had chosen wisely to allow Kenta to have her, Hana then smirked hearing him, "Midnight? A good name, from his coat's colour I take it?" Hana inquired.

Kenta nodded, "Yea." he said as he finished petting Midnight's head and looked to Hana, "Tsume-sama said about you giving him a check-up before I could take him back to my home."

Hana nodded, "Sure thing, come on, I'll give him a once over then you can go." she said as she gestured to the room behind her.

Kenta nodded and followed close behind her as the Triplets followed behind them.

Scene break

After heading through the rather large living room which looked to be for entertaining guests, there was a door that lead out into a very well equipped veterinary clinic space, white walls and white tiles on the floor, the countertops, cabinets and storage spaces were all stainless steel, Kenta deduced it must have been that way to be easily kept clean and disinfected regularly.

In the middle of the room, there was a steel table with medical equipment below in its open shelves, Hana walked around the back of it and gestured to the table, "Place Midnight here and we'll get started."

Kenta nodded as he moved to the side of the table and set Midnight down on the table and Hana moved to start checking the small pup over as she moved between the table and an open folder on the bench behind her.

Kenta glanced to see what she was noting down and saw the detailed notes on everything from fur thickness to height changes and weight differences and muscle to fat ratio.

Hana caught the impressed look Kenta gave the notes and smirked, "We have to detail everything involving Ninken, and even the smallest changes can mean something of a more serious nature when returning to the village after a mission away. We keep them vaccinated from all known diseases, but the enemies can always come up with something new. There was a new strand of rabies ten years ago that cost the lived of five Ninken, a vaccine was made for it but after that my Kaa-san ordered new protocols on all record keeping involving Ninken or animal partners, it was made mandatory for all to be given complete physicals and bloods taken upon returning to the village as precautions." Hana said as she finished noting down the last of the notes, "The same will apply to Midnight here when you graduate the academy. After every mission outside of the village walls, you'll need to stop by the Inuzuka veterinary clinic in town." Hana said as she lifted Midnight up and handed her to Kenta, "Shinobi with Ninken partners, mainly Inuzuka, or any animal partners are given an hour extra time between missions for that exact purpose, courtesy of my Kaa-san pushing for such with Hokage-Sama."

Midnight getting back in Kenta's arms climbed onto his chest and started licking his chin and chest making him chuckle as tried to hold him back, Hana smiled at the scene, "He certainly seems very affectionate towards you already, I can tell you two are going to make a great team."

Kenta smirked, "Yea I can tell that too, but we gotta get our teamwork up first before we start fighting together, I don't want to risk him getting hurt until we know what we're doing." Kenta said as he gently petted the top of Midnight's head.

Hana smiled as she crossed her arms, "Well if you want I could talk with my Kaa-san and see if she would allow for me to teach you some of our clan's techniques since she allowed you to have Midnight as your partner it's worth a shot. At the very least she might allow me to give you some pointers on where to start, I could come by where you train tomorrow if you want and let you know her decision." Hana offered.

Kenta smirked, "Sure, I was planning on heading there tomorrow after class, I've got to give my Otōto some extra training, he got his butt kicked the other day in the Taijutsu tournament I was planning to start my training when I get his underway." Kenta said as Midnight settled into his flak jacket again, "We train in a small clearing just east of training ground twelve between the buildings and the shinobi library, follow the river and you'll come across it."

Hana nodded, "I'll do that." she said with a smile as she moved over and closed Midnight's folder, "Well that's that, he's all clear I'll see you there tomorrow after class is out."

Kenta nodded, "Thanks again." he said getting a yip from Midnight that Hana chuckled at before gesturing them to the door out.

As Hana watched the new pair leave she smiled feeling those two were practically made for each other and that they'd make a good team, she heard the door behind her open and a familiar female chuckle was heard.

"Well what do ya think, a little stud isn't he," Tsume said as she came into the room, "and you're meeting him tomorrow, I knew I decided right." Tsume laughed.

Hana groaned, "It's just for training, I was meant to ask if you'd allow me to show him some clan techniques seeing as he's going to be working with Midnight, it would be best I think." Hana reasoned as she moved to put the folder away.

Tsume shrugged, "I was going to suggest the same, I don't see a reason why not to, at the rate he's going I might as well make him an honorary Inuzuka right off the bat so you two can get to making me grand pups sooner." Tsume laughed.

Hana closed the filing cabinet, "You can't be serious." she said in shock as she turned around facing her mother, "He's only twelve and I just turned sixteen, I may have graduated early but he hasn't even been at the academy a week yet, what could he have done to impress you that much to even consider that."

Tsume smirked, "He didn't even flinch when I went at him, and what's more, he had the balls to draw a weapon on me at the same time, that's what." Tsume said as she crossed her arms, "Mark my words that kid is going to be something in the future, he's the makings of a real Alpha in him if you don't snag him someone else will, a pup like that doesn't come around every day. I only wish I had found one like him before I met your father, that's the only type of man an Inuzuka woman should accept, I thought that was your father but I was wrong, I don't want to see you make the same mistake I did and not have a man to warm you at night and to give you pups and happiness that you deserve." Tsume said as both she and Hana stood looking at each other in the serious atmosphere of the room before Tsume sighed and turned and walked to the door before stopping, "It doesn't have to be right away, just promise me that you'll try should you decide to, and fight when you do cause I can guarantee you won't be the only woman after that one." she said before walking out of the room leaving a silent Hana to her thoughts.

Scene break

It was an hour later and Kenta was walking down one of the side streets of the village with Midnight snuggling into his chest with the side of his snout making Kenta chuckle, "Ha-ha, you sure like to snuggle don't you? Well enjoy cause starting tomorrow we'll be training hard, I can't have my partner weak so I'll be pushing you till I'm sure you can keep up." Kenta said as he rubbed the small pups head that yipped in agreement with his plan. Kenta smiled at the small pup before sighing, "Well if I'm going to be your master and partner I'd better make sure to refresh my lessons on Ninken's so I know what I need to focus on for your training, Hana might be able to help with that tomorrow as well." Kenta said before he looked up to see the Hokage tower ahead of them, "Maybe Sensei will know something, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees you, his and everyone else's." Kenta smirked before zipping up his flak jacket over Midnight and taking off heading to the Hokage tower.

A few minutes later Hokage's office

Hiruzen was sitting behind his desk, his paperwork taken care of as he chuckled reading from his little orange book, "Oh, Jiraiya you are a genius." Hiruzen mused to himself as he read, only to be interrupted by the window to his office being opened and he quickly put the book away and looked to the window seeing Kenta hop in.

"Ah Kenta, I was wondering when I was going to be seeing you." Hiruzen said as he stood up to greet his student, "You didn't stop by the last two days."

Kenta rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry Sarutobi-sensei, I was busy with my training yesterday and Kiba invited me over to his clan's compound earlier. Tsume-sama wanted to meet me after I beat him in sparring and again in a fight."

Hiruzen chuckled, "Ah yes, I believe I heard about that from Anko after the fact minutes before Iruka came to inform me of such, rather showy of you wasn't it."

Kenta sighed, "More than I was originally wanting to yes, but after Kiba took my not fighting him with everything I had the first time as an insult he challenged me to a full fight. Turning him down would have made matters worse, and I kept it a brief as I could to avoid showing too much, one Jutsu was all I used as well as my speed for a brief second to get the drop on him."

Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, Anko reported as much, so what did Tsume wish to speak with you about, I can imagine she was intrigued by you beating her son as you did, twice I might add, I can't believe she was happy with Kiba for losing."

Kenta chuckled, "Well in her words she "wanted to see first-hand the kind of man" I was that could beat Kiba twice, and she did such by testing my nerves, rushing at me with a kunai ready to slit my throat, the test was to see how I would react, I think I passed ok."

Hiruzen chuckled, "Yes that sounds like something Tsume would do. Most Inuzuka women are brash like her and prefer the straightforward approach when it comes to most things so I've heard. So what did she do after this test?"

Kenta chuckled, "Well that's the thing…" Kenta started to say before a Yip came from his flak jacket and Midnight stuck his head out of Kenta's collar head butting him in the chin before shaking his head and giving a second yip as Kenta groaned rubbing his chin as he pulled down his jacket's zipper, "Ow, I kind of got a partner from them after."

Hiruzen chuckled seeing the little pup as he walked over to them, "I can see that, Tsume must have really taken a shine to you to have allowed such a thing." he said as he began petting the small pup.

Kenta chuckled, "I like to think I did, I named him Midnight and he seems to like it, I was going to begin our team training tomorrow after class, Hana will be coming by to help us out, but I just wanted to come by to introduce you to him and ask if you maybe have anything to help."

Hiruzen nodded, "I see, a fine name, but sadly I have nothing that will be of use to you, the Inuzuka are the specialists in that area so I think it would be best to wait until tomorrow and have Hana's lesson show you where to start." Hiruzen said as he finished petting the small pup and moved back to his desk, "I trust you were informed on the regulations involved with having a Ninken as a partner, to have them checked out after returning from missions."

Kenta nodded, "Yea, Hana told me about it while she was giving updating Midnight's medical records, there's a lot to account for with them, she told me about that stand of rabies that came in ten years back."

Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, that incident cost the Inuzuka five of their partners, Tsume was livid for months after. She was ready to ransack Kumo for their suspected involvement over the head of it all. All Inuzuka take their partner's safety very seriously, that's the reason they don't let just anyone have a Ninken as a partner."

Kenta smirked, "I guess I must have really impressed her then." he said rubbing the back of his head.

Hiruzen nodded, "Indeed, the majority of males in the village know to stay clear of Tsume, there's a reason she's one of the few female clan head in the village. No man can match her ferocity in combat, on top of which after her Ex-husband was caught trying to steal clan secrets and flee, she personally executed him as was her right as clan head." Hiruzen said going green at the memory.

Kenta cringed at the idea, "I take it she wasn't kind enough to give him a quick death." he asked regretting it.

Hiruzen shook his head, "No, it was a slow and painful one, but he was a traitor to both his clan and village and deserved to die for it." Hiruzen said before leaning back in his chair, 'Although having one's manhood flayed and peeled like an orange, and then left to bleed out, was extreme even by those standards', Hiruzen thought to himself as Kenta had taken the cue and went to leave as Hiruzen spoke, "I think it's safe to say you are one of the few men in the village who have stood their ground against that woman and lived to tell it, a feat in and of itself."

Kenta chuckled as he left while thinking, 'Yeah no shit it took everything I had at that very moment not to piss myself, she's scary as fuck.'

Scene break

Finally getting back to the apartments, Kenta started up the stairs to the second floor while Midnight nuzzled into his chest as Kenta chuckled, "You're definitely going to be a cuddlier aren't you." he laughed as he got to his door and took out the key to open the door.

Opening the door Kenta stepped inside to find his apartment empty, but he could hear voices next door in Naruto's apartment and smirked as he walked over opening the door to find the dining table had been moved over to clear some room for practice space as Naruto stood in his Taijutsu stance while Sayaka circled him looking over his stance.

"It's good but there's still some mistakes." Sayaka said before moving to him and pulling his arms lower and adjusting his footing, "There, now just keep your head lower and you'll be able to guard better and you're more stable." Sayaka explained not yet noticing Kenta.

Kenta chuckled in the doorway, "Good to see I wasn't the only one who thought Otōto's Taijutsu would use a little work?" Kenta said crossing his arms.

Sayaka chuckled, "Yea I figured I'd give him some pointers before you restart his training tomorrow, he's going to need it." Sayaka said not turning around still checking Naruto's stance, "So where'd you go after class, I looked the training ground you weren't there."

Kenta chuckled, "Yea sorry, but Kiba invited me over to the Inuzuka compound, apparently his Kaa-san wanted to see the kind of man I was, she also had a gift for me." he said before stopping before Sayaka finally turned to him.

"Oh, and what was the…" Sayaka started to say only to stop and blink seeing the small pup resting in the opening of his flak jacket as Midnight let out a small yip and blinked three times before Sayaka let out the most girlish scream of "Kawaii!!!!" before rushing over to Kenta faster than he'd ever seen her move and snatched Midnight out of Kenta's flak jacket and proceeded to cuddling the small animal like a furry toy for half a minute, the whole time of which both Kenta and Naruto stood looking at her blinking at the sudden loss of composure Sayaka normally had, a fact that Sayaka only noticed after thirty seconds before she stopped cuddling and quickly placed the pup back with Kenta all the while blushing from embarrassment, and desperately tried to change the focus, "So Kenta-Kun, I suppose this means you'll be adding coordination training for yours and…" Sayaka started and then gestured to Midnight not knowing her name.

Kenta chuckled, "Midnight, and yes I'll need to get him up to par so that we can work together as a team." Kenta chuckled before looking to Naruto, "Looks like Otōto isn't the only one who needs training."

Sayaka giggled also, "Maybe we should get them both collars." Sayaka joked as both she and Kenta started laughing at Naruto's expense.

Naruto pouted in a huff at the joke as he crossed his arms, "Not funny Sayaka-nee, Nii-chan".

But both Sayaka and Kenta kept laughing much to Naruto's annoyance before a new voice joined the conversation from Kenta's apartment doorway, "What's not funny?" Anko asked as she walked in.

Kenta slowly stopped laughing as he whipped a stray tear away from his eye, "Oh we're just having a joke at Otōto's expense, we're thinking of getting him a collar." Kenta said before he started chuckling again "Now we're just debating colours and trying to decide on what the tag should say." Kenta said as he started laughing again.

Anko started chuckling at the joke, "Ha-ha-ha, better make that a flea collar while you're at it." she said as she joined in laughing.

Naruto starting to get annoyed at the jokes at his expense clenched his fists before yelling out, "I do not have fleas!" getting a Yip from Midnight in agreement.

Hearing the bark Anko stopped laughing and finally caught sight of the small pup in Kenta's jacket, "Ah so it is true, you did get yourself a partner, Hana-chan said something about that earlier, so this is the little guy eh." Anko said as she prodded Midnight slightly with one of her fingers only to quickly jerk it away when Midnight snapped at it with a growl.

Kenta chuckled, "I think Midnight is a little sensitive about his size, it would be better not to bring it up."

Anko grumbled, "Snappy little bastard isn't he." as she smirked at Midnight, only for the small pup to growl before jumping from her perch in Kenta's flak jacket and shooting between Anko's legs before jumping up and sinking his teeth into Anko's backside making Anko jump and started shaking, "Yeow! Someone get this flea bag off my ass before I make it into a furry hat!" Anko started yelling as she moved about trying to reach Midnight whose response was just to bite harder making Anko struggle more.

All the while Sayaka and Naruto were rolling on the ground laughing at the ridiculous scene in front of them, while Kenta just groaned with his head in his right hand, 'I hope those two can get along, I don't think Anko wants Midnight doing that when he's older, he'll end up biting her ass off'
