I don't own Naruto. Probably never will... Probably.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE)
Hey all, I'd just like to say, tarr much for reading and I've decided to make a prequel, cuz I've been reading a few Fics and I gotta say my favourite part is usually the parts where Naruto is little. And how little changes make HUGE differences in the future of the thing.
So.
Yeah
PREQUAL IS CALLED 'KONOHA CHRONICLES'
Look for it please. Wait. I'll just give you a link.

Tada!
Anyway. On with THIS story.
(END NOTE)
The village wall came into view over the trees, the 6 ninja's relaxed at the sight of the towering wall, the seventh tensed, clearly worried about his punishment for abandoning his village. He hadn't after all spent long in the village after Tsunade became Hokage, so he had no idea what kind of sentence she would give him, from what the others had said, he was very, very scared of this woman.
"Hey! Kiba, ill race you to the gate! First one there, then back to the group has to treat us ALL to ramen!" Naruto yelled and Sped off... a lot slower than he could.
"Hey! No fair! You got a head start!" Kiba yelled as he clicked his finger signalling Akamaru, a few seconds later Kiba was a good few strides ahead of Naruto and was yelling trash talk at him.
"Finally back to the group I see" Kiba smirked, "you even had a head start, you call yourself a ninja?"
"Hey, listen man, thanks for the Ramen" Yamato patted Kiba on the shoulder and laughed.
"What? But I won? Naruto's buying ramen!" Kiba's jaw dropped as everyone aside from Naruto and Sasuke started to laugh.
"I said the first one there and back buys ramen, not the last. And you call yourself a ninja" Naruto laughed as he stepped to stand on the opposite side of Hinata.
"WHAT!?" Kiba clicked his fingers and Akamaru again ran to his side "get Naruto boy!"
Several barks and a few shadow clones later Akamaru came out of the forest, empty handed, and took up pace alongside Hinata. Everyone noticed this.
"Hey why is Akamaru suddenly so warm to you Hinata?" Kiba walked over and patted Akamaru's head, earning a bark.
"Heh, lost Naruto's scent have ya? Too bad, if he's nowhere near, I guess I won't have to buy ramen" he laughed scratching his dog behind the ears.
"Actually, you have to buy us all ramen, not just Naruto." Shino adjusted his glasses, revealing a smile as he lowered his head.
"That's right dog boy!" Naruto's voice echoed through the trees, Akamaru suddenly bounded off into the bracken obviously trying to find him.
A few minutes later he returned, again empty handed. This happened a few more times before they reached the gates.
"He has to show up now, I mean this is the only way in or out." Kiba grinned and sat down with his back against the wall, Hinata stood near him, leaning against the wall, while the others went back to report the missions success to Tsunade.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Half an hour later 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Kiba was still sitting by the wall when Akamaru let out a howl, Hinata jumped, almost falling over, had it not been for the giant dog standing right next to her she would have. A few more second past before they could hear a dull thumping, footsteps coming towards them, Kiba stood up and got into a fighting position. Hinata instinctively fell into the fighting stance as well, when Akamaru bounded out of the wood, holding Naruto's coat.
Kiba looked the dog sitting beside him then the dog that had just bounded out of the forest...
His hands dropped and his mouth fell open... which was which?
Hinata was in a similar position, though it did answer a question, why Akamaru had been so friendly. Because the dog sitting by her wasn't Akamaru, she was about to activate her Byakugan when the dog sitting nearest to them burst into a cloud...
"He he he, you sure fell for it" Naruto's voice again rang out. And then, where the dog once stood there was Naruto, without his coat. Both Kiba and Hinata almost reeled back in surprise.
"How? what?...huh?" Kiba was at a loss for words, and Hinata was struggling to remain conscious.
"how did you make Akamaru stay away?" Kiba look dumbfounded.
"Hehehe, I made a shadow clone, transformed into you, and made him go for a workout, he also followed you order, of keeping my scent by taking my coat with him" Naruto was clearly proud of himself and he didn't try and hide it.
"But I would have smelt you!" Kiba practically yelled.
"well, that's why I've been standing near Hinata, she has a lot of Akamaru's scent on her, as long as I stuck close, you'd never notice" again not attempting to hide his pride at fooling an Inuzuka's nose.
