Training with Kiba

"Good morning, Lord Hokage," Kiba Inuzuka said with a yawn.

"Kiba, I thought you'd chickened out on me," the Hokage said with a loud laugh as the sun peeked over the trees surrounding the clearing they were standing in.

"Not a chance, sir. What would you wish me to do with you today? A one on one match or what?"

"You and Akamaru can come at me at once, that's just fine with me," the Hokage said with a smug grin as he pulled off his long white cloak he wore around his green vest.

"Heh, then I will," he said, Akamaru running around from behind him to stand in front of him.

The match went well, the Hokage the victor but Kiba did well to hold his own. The Hokage even pointed this out.

"Good match today, Kiba. Akamaru never ceases to amaze me. I actually was a little worried for a second there," he said with a loud laugh, patting the tired Jounnin on the back.

"Glad you're still as smug as ever, my lord," Kiba said with a grin.

"Come on, I've got to get home," the Hokage said, standing up and stretching his arms in the air.

"I talked to Ino the other day. She said that Shikamaru was coming home tomorrow and that her baby was fine."

"That's good to hear," the Hokage said, petting Akamaru as Kiba gathered his fallen weapons.

"Have you seen Sakura?"

"I couple of days ago, she was teaching a class," the tall man said, continuing to pet the tired dog.

"I heard that she was teaching again. That's good to know."

"Oh, I forgot. How is your team coming along?"

Kiba thought about it for a second and sighed.

"Well… not exactly 'team oriented', I must say. I mean, I know I'm in charge of them, but in the past at least one child would ask to be leader and the others gladly follow but these three… they just bicker and whine and fight for leadership."

"I wouldn't mind dropping by sometime to see them in action, you know, before the Chuunin Exams come up again."

"If you wish to, my lord, by all means. It would probably help my team, a lot!" Kiba said, flashing a toothy grin at the Hokage. The other man nodded and they slowly headed back to the Hokage tower.

-This one was shorter because I'm not really a fan of Kiba and I didn't want to make him too out of character, so I tried to keep it shorter. I am thinking of using him again later so I'll try to make that longer. Thanks for reading! .
