Kiba woke up the same as every morning, he got up, bathed with Akamaru, brushed his teeth, played in the mud, took another bath with Akamaru, then went to training. Afterwards he remebered his goal... fighting Neji!

"Hey Shino!" Kiba yelled in his teammates ear, at a piercing noise level.

Shino looked unaffected though, not even covering his ears.

"...What?" Shino said, feeling slightly annoyed, or maybe he wasn't, Shino kinda always looks that way...

Kiba struck a pose, with Akamaru, who jumped out of his jacket at that moment. It was simliar to one Gai would have made, had he not been teaching Lee a youthful lesson.

"Wanna watch me..." He said pointing at himself. "...beat up Neji?"

Shino stood silently a moment, and then started walking away.

"So are you heading over to the Hyuuga household?"

Shino turned back, giving Kiba one of those looks that would make small children cry... had he not been wearing sunglasses that is.

"Okay see you there!" Kiba said with a wave.

Shino turned around fully.

"Why would you want to fight Neji?" Shino said.

Kiba struck another pose with Akamaru.

"If I beat him, then I will be considered stronger than him... therefor making me the strongest ninja in all of Konoha!"

"There's stronger ninja's than Neji you know... Naruto beat Neji, and im pretty sure most of the Jounin's could beat him"

Kiba stared blankly at him.

"So your saying I should beat up the Jounin's?"

There was an awkward moment of silence. Finally, not really wanting to Shino broke it.

"You can't even beat Naruto, how do you expect to beat Neji?"

Kiba thought hard about that.

"I could... get a... club?"

Akamaru barked.

"Hey that's right, training that is just what I need! Good thinking Akamaru!"

Shino stood there, annoyed with the conversation.

"That's what I was trying to say..."

"Well you should have said that then! Your so slow Shino!" Kiba laughed, and walked away, leaving Shino to be, Shino.

Kiba thought of everyone he had ever met, thinking of someone who could help him train to beat Neji, sure he got daily training, but that wasn't enough, he needed more!... Who could have such knowledge that he could easily give it to him...

"Who was that Jounin Naruto's team is paired with?" Kiba thought hard.

"Cat man?... No, Koala, Kiba.. No that's my name"

Kiba sat down on a nearby rock to ponder some more.

"Cactus, Carbon, Katake! Yeah that's it! Katake! I must locate Katake"

With that, Kiba ran to find the person he thought he knew the name of.

Meanwhile...

Neji was angered by a loud knocking from outside his room, two days in a row of disturbances did not bide well with him. He angrily ran over and opened the door. To his surprise, Shino stood in front of it.

"..." Neji glared.

"..." Shino glared back.

Neji got ready to slam the door.

"Kiba wants to fight you, he says it's the only way he can be the strongest ninja in all of Konoha"

Neji blinked.

"So?"

"...wanna go collect bugs?" Shino offered.

Neji slammed the door. Shino stood there awhile before deciding it wasn't going to open anytime soon and left a little bummed, or maybe he wasn't who knows...

Back with Kiba...

Kiba finally found the person he was looking for.

"Katake!" Kiba screamed running over to Kakashi, who was enjoying a book, that was written by Jiraiya.

Kakashi read a few more moments before closing it, and looking at the excited Kiba.

"Me?" Kakashi asked.

Kiba nodded.

"I finally found Katake, The Crazy Ninja!"

Kakashi sighed.

"It's Kakashi, the copycat Ninja"

Kiba shrugged.

"Names are just words, they don't compare to training!"

Kakashi raised his only uncovered eyebrow.

"What are you getting at?"

"I want training from you!"

Kiba said pointing a finger at Kakashi. It was also at this time that Gai was having his daily "Spying on Kakashi" session.

"So my rivals going to be taking on another student to teach... but I only have three... I cannot let my rival get ahead of me!..." Gai decided now was a good time to jump in "I SHALL TRAIN YOU!" He screamed.

He jumped out from behind the bush and placed his hands on his waist.

"You finally decided to show yourself..." Kakashi calmly said, not looking over.

Kiba laid on the ground still trying to recover from the shock. Gai quickly placed a hand on his chin, showing his teeth, which shined with a "ping" He quickly wasted no time placing Kibaon his feet,and punching him.

"Im sorry Lee... Kiba! I do it out of love, now let us start your training"
