Chapter 4
"Do you mind telling me exactly why we are doing CHORES!?" Ookami Zinthia was bored. In fact, she was EXTREMELY bored. Team Kakashi was doing D-rank missions. Zinthia refused to call them missions though. Sakura's eyebrow twitched for the 100th time. "Geez, stop it already! Both Kakashi-sensei and Tsunade-shishou have told you it is because of the council! They don't trust you yet!" She explained. Naruto grinned encouragely. "We'll be sure to get a better mission later!" He exclaimed. Zinthia smirked slightly. "Fine. But let's hurry up. I got Kiba to promise teaching me shikyaku no jutsu today, in exchange of me trying to learn Akamaru to talk." Naruto nodded before he gained a tick-mark. "Oi! Come back here Tora!" He shouted and ran after the cat they were assigned to catch.
-------*-------
"Come on! Why were you so late! We should have started by now!" Kiba whined. Zinthia rolled her eyes." Yeah, Yeah. Stop being so impatient, Kibble." She said and sighed at Kiba's immatureness. Kiba looked at her with a twitching eye. "What did you call me?" He asked his voice flat. Zinthia smirked. "Kibble. It's cute! Just like you, ne?" She said, and snickered when the boy turned red of embarrassment. "Let's start working! He announced, and ran of to the training grounds. Not one to want to be left behind, Zinthia ran after him. Akamaru and Zin looked after them, before Zin grinned. "Time to learn!" She said and Akamaru yipped.
Meanwhile, Kiba had started explaining the basics of Shikyaku no jutsu. "…and it's easier for those who have an animal connection, because they are closer to nature. Or something." Kiba said. "Or something?" Zinthia deadpanned. Kiba laughed. "Yeah! I kind of tuned out when mom explained that…" Zinthia rolled her eyes. "I'll show you, it's easier that way!" Kiba exclaimed. "Shikyaku no jutsu!" He shouted, and fell down on all fours, his nails more clawlike, and his fangs got sharper and bigger. He ran at a tree and punched it, showing how much faster and stronger he became when using the jutsu. Zinthia made a small grin. "Okay, my turn, let's do this! Shikyaku no jutsu!" She said.
She immediately landed on her hands, but instead of her hands becoming claw-like, they became actual claws, and her fangs grew more than Kiba's too. She smirked at his shocked look, and then vanished in thin air, and reappeared at the side of Kiba, but instead of punching the three, like he did, she clawed it. With her speed, she nearly cut the three in two. "Wow! Oi! That's no fair! How come you're better than me!" Kiba complained. Zinthia gave a feral grin. "Cuz wolves are superior animals." She teased him. Kiba huffed, and turned away with his arms crossed. Zinthia snickered. "Let's find out how long Zin and Akamaru have progressed." She said as she undid her jutsu. Kiba nodded, excited. "Yeah! Race you, Zinthia-chan!" He said, seemingly not noticing the tick mark she gained, or the sadistic smile. "Say that again…" She said with a sweet smile. Too sweet "Eh? I said Zinthia-cha…oops." He dodged a punch directed at his face. " No one calls me Chan! `yet, at least´" She charged at Kiba again, who could only run in the direction of Zin and Akamaru, in hopes that the nin-wolf could calm down the crazy girl. `She called me Kibble, and goes frantic when I just used another honorific? Sheesh.´
-------*-------
"Okay Akamaru. Try to tell me what you like about Kiba, using human language." Zin had been surprised when Akamaru had shown signs of having an easy time learning. He had picked up whatever she told him in a short amount of time, and Zin was amazed. "Kiba is ..good partner. He pets me…and take care…me." Zin nodded. "Good, just say it a little bit different, like this: Kiba is a good partner. He pets me and takes care of me. Try saying it that way." Akamaru grinned. "Kiba is ..a good partner. He pets me and takes care …of… me." Zinthia nodded. "Good, good. Oh, it seems our partners are done with their training. And Kiba managed to piss Zinthia off." She said with a deadpan expression after the last sentence.
Kiba ran while flailing his arms wildly. "Aaah! Wolf gone mad!" He screamed. Zin sighed. "I bet he called her Chan. She is a real tomboy, so she doesn't like being called chan…" She told Akamaru who nodded, and jumped out of the way as Kiba was thrown right into a rock. "So…partner stupid?" Akamaru asked Zin. "Hai, it would seem so." Zinthia came walking with a cheery expression. "So, how's it going? I feel so much better now, after kicking Kiba!" She said. Kiba was currently laying at the ground with spiralling eyes. "Ooh, my head." He mumbled. Akamaru, Zin and Zinthia snickered. "Of course, I'm almost as strong as Haruno-san when I use chakra." She explained. Kiba just groaned. Akamaru barked. "Partner! I learn talk!" He exclaimed. Kiba was right up and looking at Akamaru with BIG eyes. "What? Awesome! I got to tell Kaa-san that not only Kuromaru can talk! Ja Ne!" He shouted and ran away to the Inuzuka compound. "Seriously, he gotta calm down a little." All three left commented.
-------*-------
"And I knocked Kiba into a rock. Kind of fun, actually." Zinthia was talking with one of her new friends, Yamanaka Ino. The girl was Konoha's self proclaimed gossip queen. So if you want news or your news to be over whole Konoha, you could talk to the blonde girl. "Really? Wow, and you managed to do a better Shikyaku no jutsu than him? I saw him use it at the first chuunin exam I went to, awesome jutsu. Oh! Did you know that the chuunin exams are coming here again in three months? I think me and Naruto are the only ones left that haven't become chuunin yet." She explained, anime tears streaming down her face. Zinthia blinked, then grinned slightly.
"Ino, I got an idea! What if you, Naruto and me team up? Then all three of us could become chuunin, and not have to do D-rank chores anymore!" Ino cocked an eyebrow. "Huh, I suppose you're right." She replied. Zinthia nodded. "I'll go ask Hokage-sama!" She said and was gone in a gust of wind. "Kuso! I forgot to ask her if she have seen any cute guys lately!" Ino cursed. People around her looked at her with "are you crazy" looks, but she obviously didn't care.

Tsunade was sleeping, her head lying upon a bunch of papers, and she was drooling. Just then Shizune came in. "Tsunade-sama there is someone that want to …" She looked at Tsunade and palmed her face. "TSUNADE-SAMA!" She shouted and the blonde haired woman jumped in the air before glaring at Shizune. "What is it?" She mumbled. "There is someone that want something about the upcoming exams." Shizune answered quickly. Tsunade nodded. "Okay, send whoever it is in…" She said and Shizune quickly disappeared out the door, and was replaced by a black-haired teen and a wolf.
"Yo, Hokage-sama. I wondered if you could put me, Naruto-san and Ino in a team for the future exam. All of us want to be chuunin, so what's better than being on a team?" She explained. Tsunade frowned slightly and nodded. "Maybe. But you have to do at least one C-rank mission to be allowed in the chuunin exam. Naruto and Ino have already done some." Zinthia nodded and grinned. "Better than doing d-rank chores at least!" She exclaimed. "Okay, be here with team Kakashi tomorrow morning. Dismissed." Zinthia nodded and used her wind- shunshin.
