1- Makoto + Mochimaru

Konoha - Inuzuka neighborhood

A dozen 7-year-olds were lined up in the huge kennel, around them hundreds of cute puppies roamed.

These children were in the most important process within the clan, the selection of an Inuzuka companion and war friend, a dog

A jonin from the clan watched from afar, his gaze seemed to focus on a single little boy.

He had short, black hair and didn't attract attention because of his appearance, but rather because he couldn't get close to any puppy.

"Come here, puppy, see I have biscuit...take it..." the boy waved a biscuit but no dog came near

A girl looked at this while laughing at the side, in her arms was a cub that was visibly stronger than the others

"Hahaha give up cousin, you are hated by dogs" Tsume laughed

The boy heard his cousin's speeches and sighed.

He is called Makoto Inuzuka and is also a transmigrator.

In his past life, he was a 21 year old student who was in the prime of his life, but when he got out of college, he witnessed a stupid 16 or 17 year old girl cosplaying as a cat in the middle of the street.

The stupid girl showed her fake cat ears and sat stupidly in the middle of the street, when a truck was going to kill the girl, Makoto decided to jump and save the idiot.

Perhaps because of his good deed, Makoto transmigrated to the world of Naruto, although he was not from the Uchiha or Senju clan, he was still lucky to be born into a relatively strong clan like the Inuzuka

He is Tsume's cousin, Kiba's future mother, his parents died in the second ninja war but fortunately as an orphan he was treated very well in the clan without any dark past

He then dedicated himself completely to learning what he was taught and becoming a strong ninja. Even before entering Konoha's ninja academy, he managed to master substitution jutsu and was able to climb trees, demonstrating great talent in chakra control.

He was far ahead of all children his age, including his cousin Tsume, but at the greatest moment in his life he simply discovered that dogs hate him.

This is the fifth time in a row that he has tried to win over a dog and nothing, Tsume always follows him to laugh and then show how talented his Kuromaru is.

Makoto looked at the cookie in his hand and then at the puppies that were looking at him with contempt and sighed.

"You know what, screw it, I don't need a dog, I'll be a powerful ninja without a dog" Makoto

"Hahahahahaha" laughter was the only thing they heard from the children around

the jonin who was watching everything sighed with sadness, he had a lot of hope in Makoto, but he had never seen this situation in his life

Makoto didn't argue with these children, he just threw the cookies on the floor and left the kennel.

"Whoever needs a dog only knows how to shit and bark..." Makoto walked to his house grumbling

Soon he arrived in front of the house that belonged to his parents that I inherited, it was a relatively good house because his father was a jonin, although one of the weakest but still a jonin

Makoto entered his house and started training again

He was training the clan's jutsu, Gijyū Ninpō: Shikyaku no Jutsu (4-legged technique)

"Even without a dog I can still learn some Inuzuka jutsus, my effort will prove that it's not me who needs a dog, but the dog who needs me" Makoto

In the backyard, Makoto began to imitate the strength of a dog, lying on his stomach and trying to use his hands and feet as paws.

Awkwardly, Makoto trained for hours and when he saw it, it was already night.

"Shit, my back hurts.....Imitating a dog is.....I can't complain, I forgot I have to be a genius!"

Makoto was ready to go take a shower when he saw a white cat sitting next to him.

"Oh shit, where did that cat come from?" Makoto

"Prrr" Cat

Makoto felt good about the cat, finally an animal that didn't run away from him.

"This is a wise animal, so small, but you can already see my potential, isn't it really a cute kitten?" Makoto smiled as he petted the cat's head.

the kitten seemed to enjoy the affection and snuggled into Makoto's arms

Makoto, seeing the cute and obedient cat, had an idea.

"how would those dogs feel if I trained this cat to do the same job as them? Hahahaha" Makoto was delighted with the idea

"Kitten, how about you become my ninja partner? If even a stupid dog can learn clan skills, why couldn't a cute kitten!" Makoto

"meow?" Cat

"I'll take that as a yes, you're white as rice and don't appear to have a penis so you're a girl, your name will be MochiMaru" Makoto
