Hello there, dear readers. MoonLightDaiyz here with an update for the fanfiction Naruto Shippuden: The Next Generation—Deeper Bonds. My apologies for the late update on this story, but I figured that something was better than nothing, am I right? So, I decided that I could add some fillers to keep pace and at least add an outside look to the characters within the story, since there is undoubtedly A LOT of them, ha ha. I made it noticeable in case many people do not want to read them and want to continue with the original whole of the story instead of side plots for the hell of it. The title will look like the one below "Deeper Bonds: Filler Input" with the alternate title holding a number and a label, which is the number in the line I had made it. Whereas in for the chapter title in the contents will only be a number to make things easier. Kinda weird? Hopefully you'll get use to it over time.

Yukino is a sixteen year old Genin of Konohagakure. For sixteen years of her life, Yukino has been completely clueless from the fact that she's a Jinchuriki, holder of the legendary and evil Kyuubi. With her father gone, the Kyuubi's power awakening from its long slumber nearly driving the teen crazy, and backstabbing rogue ninjas and close allies scoping out and betraying the young girl; what will all this unleash onto village of Konoha?

Alternate Title:#14 - Barbeque Outing

- -Konohagakure, Niku no Shokudō- -

With a soft breath, a calm brunette closed her dark eyes as she stood from the booth that she and her squad, Konoha One, were occupying for the evening. It was a simple, small eatery where meats were served into delicious food's that left many mouth-watery and wanting more. Mostly skewed meats and the always famous barbecued cooked cuisines. The three-man squad had agreed to dine and hang out, since they weren't assigned to any mission assessments for the day. For Team One, today was a time spent in leisure and relaxation; Hiroo's treat, since he was the one to oh-so kindly take to offer and pay for the meal.

A young man with slightly tanned skin and hair a shaggy, dark brown color, was currently playing a tug-of-war with his food, the meat being a little tough. His dark red eyes bore in slit pupils, just as his father, Inazuka, Kiba. The red tattooed fangs upon his cheeks would be evidence enough of his decadency from within the Inazuka Clan. Kyousuke glanced up, his mouth full of barbequed, skewed beef—which hung partially out of the corner of his mouth as he jerked his attention up and over to the female party of the team, "Wassup, Chizu? Ya don't like the food or somethin'?" he muffled through his morsel-mouthful. This catching his faint interest as well, Hiroo sweat dropped as he noticed his canine friend's poor eating mannerisms, with an added sulk of his shoulders.

"Try chewing your food, dog-boy." came Chizuru's calm and blunt reply. The only child of the village's loner, Abruame, Shino. Her long darkened hair, with the slight touch of brown, but otherwise seeming black, cascading down her back in a full and think straightness, stopping just under hindquarters—a long side bang covering over the front of the right side of the young woman's face.

Hearing that usual blunt and crude comment, simply made the Inazuka boy chuckle as he leans his head back and gulped down the rest of the meat down his throat, and thirstily licked the leftover barbeque sauce from around his lips, "Heh heh." He beamed a sporty grin up to her. Chizuru merely gave a harsh look of disgust as she watched his flat tongue consume the thick sauce from his mouth, only for him to swallow it down as if it were some kind of drink.

Her eyes narrowed slightly after a few silent moments as she stared down to him, "You're becoming more and more like an untamed mutt every day, dog-boy." she hissed down to him in a monotone voice. Kyousuke stared up to her, before he broke into a large, fang-like grin, "That's what trainin's for, Chi-Chi. C'mon, train me~ I promise that I'll be a good boy for ya, and I won't even bite…unless ya beg me to." His grin seemed to widen as he leaned in his forearm among the top of the table, slowly easing over towards the eyebrow twitching Abruame.

Tightening her glare, she hissed a harsh scoff as she whipped her face from out of his view quickly in annoyance, "Tch…unbelievable. You're like an annoying little horny lapdog. You don't know when to stop, no matter how many times I spray at you in the face." she grumbled, pushing herself from out of the booth. "Whatever…I'll be back." she muttered in her typical monotone voice. She silently strode away from the booth, heading towards the back of the small restaurant compound, in search of the female's restrooms.

Quietly, the two teenage males watched after Chizuru, until the brown haired boy of the two broke into an even wider grin; the smile seeming crooked and sly, but otherwise completely satisfied and impishly playful. "Heh, I think I'm startin' to wear her down," Kyousuke smirked, folding his arms behind his head in satisfaction as he closed his eyes.

Hiroo glanced up from his cup of freshly brewed tea, over towards his canine teammate and then he silently turned his gaze to follow the physique of the female heading towards the restrooms. He watched silently between them for a few moments. "I don't see it," he stated under his breath before he went back to drinking his tea.
