Chapter 10: Kiba in the Doghouse

Two Hours Later

Inuzuka Tsume's Living Room, Inuzuka Compound, Clan Residential District Outskirts

If a word could be used to describe Inuzuka Tsume at this particular moment, 'furious' would be an understatement. 'Incandescent' or perhaps 'Volcanic' would be far more appropriate.

That good-for-nothing idiot Shippo had brought disgrace on the entire Inuzuka Clan by joining with Yamanaka Haruo and Hyuuga Arashi to try and kill Uzumaki Naruko.

Not only had he been stupid enough to do that, he had also agreed privately with Haruo to kill the other two Heiresses as well, as he was even more dismissive of Kunoichi than Kiba was, if it was at all possible.

Tsume growled angrily. The dumb idiot was so stupid that he hadn't thought of what would happen after he killed them. The Hyuuga, Yamanaka and the Hokage would have torn him to pieces, along with any member of the Inuzuka Clan who got in the way.

How Shippo had even managed to get promoted to a Combat Chunin was beyond Tsume. He made Kiba look like a paragon of tolerance and foresight!

"Still angry about Shippo?" asked her ninken partner Kuromaru, who was lying down next to her.

"Obviously." Tsume snorted, "I'm just struck dumb by how stupidly he went about it. Leaving all the moral right/wrong debates of trying to kill an allied Clan's Heir to one side, he got played like a fiddle by Yamanaka Haruo and Hyuuga Arashi and danced to their tune with barely even any suspicion at all on his part!"

"Humph." Kuromaru snorted as he stretched, "Kiiromaru was telling me last week that Shippo was going to do something stupid. Wouldn't tell me what, just that he wouldn't help Shippo do whatever it is that he was gonna do."

"Shippo's ninken?" Tsume asked with a frown, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were at the council meeting on the day, and Shippo disappeared the day after." Kuromaru replied simply.

Tsume was about to answer, when one of the compound's Front Gate guards shouted out, "Tsume-sama! Yamanaka Inoichi-sama wishes to have a meeting with you!"

This took Tsume slightly aback. Inoichi was an old drinking buddy of hers and came by for a visit every so often. He usually just walked in after saying hello to the guards. The fact that he was asking to be let in and have a meeting meant he had something serious to discuss with her.

"…Shit." she muttered, "Now what? LET HIM IN!" she roared to the guards.

Tsume took a seat on a comfortable armchair and waited for Inoichi to come in. She didn't have to wait long.

Inoichi swept into the room she was in, his face set like it was carved from stone. Tsume wondered what the hell this could be about.

"Inoichi." she greeted the Yamanaka Clan Head warily.

"Tsume. Kuromaru." he replied tersely.

"Have a seat and tell me why the hell you look like you want to rip someone to pieces." The Inuzuka Matriarch said waving at a nearby chair.

"Bring Hana here. She needs to know this as well." the blond man said flatly.

Tsume looked surprised, but sent Kuromaru to get Hana, who arrived a couple of minutes later with the Haimaru Brothers, three ash-grey littermates, at her heels.

"Mother? Kuromaru said you wanted to see me?" Hana asked as she finished putting her long brown hair into its usual ponytail. Today had been her day off, so she had been reading some advanced Iryō Ninjutsu scrolls and occasionally romping and playing with her ninken companions.

"Inoichi apparently has something he wants to discuss with us." Tsume replied as both Hana and Inoichi took a seat. Formal Clans like the Hyuuga sneered at the informal nature of the Inuzuka Clan. They eschewed rites, pomp and uselessly fancy meeting rooms, instead preferring to have relaxed meeting in informal settings like this.

The pack nature of their ninken companions influenced this choice, but the main reason was simply that the Inuzuka were a very informal clan who didn't give a rat's arse about formality.

"Now we're all here, can you please tell me what's gotten you in such a bad mood?" Tsume probed impatiently.

Inoichi sighed heavily before beginning. "A couple of hours ago, Ino brought Haruno Sakura to my house, bathed her and put her to bed in her old room. The poor girl went out like a light. Ino then proceeded to tell me why."

His face darkened even more as he spoke his next words. "Apparently, she has been forced to perform every single household chore in her team's house for the last week by her teammates. She has also been too frightened to do more than nap lightly during the nights, because your son," Inoichi emphasised, "tries to break into her room every single night to 'establish his dominance as an Alpha' over her."

Tsume and Hana stare dumbly at Inoichi, utterly stunned by what he said.

"K-Kiba…no, I don't believe even he could be stupid enough to do that." Tsume said at last.

"I scanned Sakura's memories." Inoichi replied softly, "She spoke the absolute truth. In fact, she neglected to tell Ino that Kiba has been constantly referring to her as a 'breeder bitch' when not around their Jonin-sensei. Among other things."

Hana growled at the blatant disrespect such a title implied to Sakura, swiftly joined by Tsume

"I can't believe that two members of my clan are embarrassing me twice in two weeks!" Tsume ground out.

"I…personally think there is something amiss with Kiba." Inoichi said carefully, prompting the two Inuzuka's to look at him.

"You mean aside from the fact he treats kunoichi like trash?" the Inuzuka Matriarch asked sarcastically.

"No, the way in which he expresses it." Inoichi replied, "A boy who has a strong kunoichi for a mother should know better than to mouth off about his contempt for them, especially in front of the Hokage! Even more so when his older sister is also a strong kunoichi."

Hana's eyes were narrowed. "You suspect someone's been messing with his head?" she asked sharply.

"Haruo is a very skilled jonin, who has mastered several advanced Yamanaka Clan Jutsu." Inoichi said carefully, "In addition, he has had access to the Yamanaka Shadow Archives, where we keep our kinjutsu. To clarify, by 'Kinjutsu', I don't mean just any jutsu with a slight risk, such as the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. These jutsu have been forbidden to be used by our Clan due to the immoral and potentially fatal nature of the Jutsu in question."

"How many Kinjutsu in the Yamanaka Clan repertoire could accomplish this?" Tsume asked.

"Right off the top of my head, about half a dozen." Inoichi replied, "It would make sense if Shippo is as misogynistic as you say he is. He resents the fact that a woman is the Alpha of his Clan and makes a deal with Haruo to use a jutsu of some sort on Kiba that makes him equally as misogynistic as Shippo himself as petty revenge for that fact."

"When does Haruo get shipped to Hōzuki-jō?" Tsume asked, "I want to find out what the hell he did to my pup."

"Tomorrow, supposedly." Inoichi replied, "However, I think that this little deduction requires an in-depth probe into Haruo's mind, so Hokage-sama ought to listen to the both of us if we lay this in front of him. Is Shippo secure?"

"He's in the kennels." Tsume replied, "I'll post a couple of guards to make sure he stays there."

"Good. Let's go." Inoichi said as he led the way out of the compound.

Warning! Lime Scene Bellow!

Timeskip - The Next Day, 06:00 am

Naruko's Room, New Uzumaki Clan Compound, Clan Residential District

Mitarashi Anko had taken many lovers since attaining her hitai-ate, both male and female, but this was one of the very few times that she had woken up next to one.

She propped herself up on an elbow, heedless of her nudity, and gazed upon her newest lover with speculation in her eyes. Naruko was still exhausted from her amatory adventures yesterday and last night, so was in a deep sleep.

After their initial 'training session', the two had slept for a couple of hours before recommencing with undisguised enthusiasm. During that time, Anko had been impressed with both Naruko's ability to learn and her stamina.

Seriously, the girl could out screw a dozen other genin.

At the same time.

Something else that Anko had discovered was that Naruko, while being a switch, preferred to be in control of sex when at all possible. Not really a big surprise, given that she had not had much say over what happened in her life up until this point.

Deciding that her paramour had slept enough for the moment, Anko began prodding and poking Naruko, who grumbled and flinched away from the prodding.

Grinning wickedly, Anko prodded the girl in her most precious place.

"Ahn!" Naruko shot awake with a moan. The Uzumaki Heiress twisted her head to look at Anko out of the corner of her eye.

"Anko-sensei, did you have to wake me up like that?" the girl complained as Anko withdrew the finger and sucked on it seductively.

"Why, not up for another round, Naru-chan?" Anko teased her lover with a slow smile.

Naruko's face lit up like a tomato. "G-Geez! Are you insatiable or something Anko-sensei?"

"Meh, it's not often I have a nubile little thing like you, with stamina that surpasses mine and is an eager pupil to boot." Anko replied as she reached forward and kissed Naruko's neck, making the blond mew in pleasure.

"Wh-What about jutsu training? You said we'd do some today!" Naruko panted out while Anko's skilled hands wandered over her body.

Anko considered this. She had said that she would teach her a couple of jutsu today, both regular jutsu and Injutsu, but she still wanted to play some more before Kurenai and Naruko's teammates returned.

"Okay then, Naru-chan." Anko agreed reluctantly, "Breakfast, Jutsu training, Injutsu training, then back to bed for some fun. Sound like a plan?"

"Yeeeeessss!" Naruko moaned out as Anko's hands, apparently on autopilot, had been massaging her breasts to the point that she came.

"Ah, that never gets old." Anko grinned at the panting girl. As it turned out, Naruko's breasts were very sensitive and Anko had made the girl beg for more after a thirty-minute massaging fest.

"Sadist!" Naruko gasped out.

"And proud of it!" Anko replied with a grin as she got out of bed and sashayed over to the shower, "Join me?" Anko invited.

A blushing Naruko joined her in a flash.

Lime Scene over!

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Timeskip - Three Hours Later

Interrogation Room 3, ANBU T&I Division Headquarters, Secret Location

Yamanaka Haruo had clearly seen better days. He was strapped to a cross, naked from the waist up and his body was covered in scars, the result of bare minimum healing after his interrogation session with Mitarashi Anko.

The room was bare of all other furniture and was a stark white colour that was slightly painful to look at even in the dim lighting that was available in the room.

Haruo looked up as the door to the room opened with an ominous creak, one Haruo was convinced was deliberately induced to add to the mystique of the room and make the occupants fears grow. Not that realising what the trick was enabled Haruo to be unaffected by it.

Through the door stepped Morino Ibiki, Head of ANBU T&I and one of the most feared men in all of Konoha, swiftly followed by Yamanaka Inoichi, joint-second in command of ANBU T&I with Mitarashi Anko and his Clan head.

Haruo squashed whatever fear managed to squirm its way to the surface and awaited whatever it was that brought the men to visit him.

"Haruo, formally of the Yamanaka Clan," Ibiki said slowly, in his deep gravely voice, "It has been brought to the attention of Inoichi and myself that you may have used a Kinjutsu on the mind of Inuzuka Kiba, Clan Heir of the Inuzuka Clan. I will give you one chance to voluntarily surrender the information. Should you refuse…"

The cruel, sadistic smile that blossomed across the man's face made the alternative quite clear to Haruo, who let out a dry laugh.

"I'm being sent to the kami-forsaken Blood Prison soon." he rasped out, "Why would I willingly let you add more time to my sentence?"

Ibiki's sinister smile grew wider, if that was at all possible. "I was hoping that you'd say something like that." the Head of T&I said, somewhat happily, "I'll have you spilling your guts in ten minutes, tops. Best part for you? All the damage will be mental, not physical. No need to clean up any pesky bloodstains or have to worry about you bleeding out.

Anko and I argue about this all the time, physical pain versus mental torment, and this will be interesting to note that it took Anko just under twelve minutes to fully break you. She'll owe me a drink if I can get you to break faster than that."

Haruo began to sweat as Ibiki walked closer to him. "So then…" Ibiki said, "Shall we begin?"

Nine Minutes, Twenty-Seven Second Later…

"Alright! I'm tell you! Just stop already!" Haruo howled as he thrashed around wildly on the cross, desperately trying to free himself.

Ibiki gave a small smile of satisfaction as he turned off the speakers that were booming out a high-pitched wailing noise. One that was enhanced by the genjutsu he had placed on Haruo. Genjutsu: Oto Zōfuku no Jutsu (Illusion: Sound Amplification Jutsu) made the target's hearing as sensitive as an Inuzuka's. Haruo, being a jonin, already had sharp senses, so adding the genjutsu on top of that made it unbearable. This was after Ibiki told him what would happen to him after he passed the ten-minute limit.

"Now spill. What Kinjutsu did you use on Inuzuka Kiba?" Ibiki demanded softly.

"Y-Yamanaka Kinjutsu: Saihen o Ki no Jutsu (Yamanaka Forbidden Jutsu: Mind Restructuring Jutsu)." Haruo gasped out, "As well as repeated uses of Yamanaka Ninpo: Ikari Sōsa no Jutsu (Yamanaka Ninja Art: Anger Manipulation Jutsu) and Yamanaka Ninpo: Uma Mekakushi no Jutsu (Yamanaka Ninja Art: Horse Blinders Jutsu)."

Inoichi cursed. That was one of the worst Kinjutsu in the Shadow Archive, allowing the user to alter all but the deepest held convictions of the target as they pleased. A boy such as Kiba didn't have that many strong convictions, so Haruo had pretty much had free rein to do as he pleased in his mind.

The other two jutsu were commonly used in manipulating targets into becoming angry at specific things or people and straight lined their thinking respectively, so they were easily reversed. The Kinjutsu though, would be harder.

"When did you do this to him?" Inoichi ground out.

"Six years ago. It was Shippo's price for joining up with us." Haruo told his former Clan Head wearily.

"Precisely what did you do to him? Give me every detail." Inoichi ordered harshly.

"I made him aggressive and contempt of kunoichi and tried to focus that on the Demon Bitch." Haruo replied, "He is also much easier to manipulate and less trusting of those around him. I also implanted the desire to dominate woman in his mind, so any member of his Clan that he marries will be broken to his will."

Inoichi regarded his former clansman with contempt. "You're a real piece of work, you know that?" he said disgustedly, "OK then. Did you place any mental traps or suicide jutsu in Kiba's mind?"

"Several standard mental traps, but no suicide jutsu." Haruo said resignedly.

"He's lying." Ibiki said casually, making Haruo glare half-heartedly at him.

"The truth. Now." Inoichi's face was implacable.

Haruo sagged in his bonds. "A Shinkei Dōmyaku Kobu Fūjin (Neural Aneurism Death Seal) is set to activate if the two lesser jutsu are released before the greater one is countered." he said bitterly, "In addition, if there is any delay greater than five minutes between releasing the first jutsu and releasing the second, the Fūjin will activate."

Inoichi shook his head in amazement. Death Seals were an immensely difficult thing to construct in a persons mind, far more so than if it was being written on a person's body with chakra-infused ink. That Haruo actually had the skill to create one was amazing…and a pity.

"You are a fool, Haruo." Inoichi told him, "You could have used your skills for the betterment of Konoha. Instead, you're forcing Konoha to squander it by sending you to Hōzuki-jō, because of a ridiculous and pointless vendetta. Such a waste."

With that, Inoichi swept out of the room, leaving Haruo feeling more insignificant than he had felt in years.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Grounds, New Uzumaki Clan Compound, Clan Residential District

"Katon: Endan!" a hundred voices said at one. The line of Naruko-clones unleashed a fireball at their targets, a hundred clones henge'd into Mizuki.

Anko and the original Naruko, standing to one side and observing her clones work, grinned as about half of the Mizuki's disappeared. Unfortunately, that also meant that about half of the Naruko-clones disappeared as well, due to incorrectly using the Jutsu somehow.

"Alright, dispel in small groups!" Naruko ordered her clone army. As they dispelled, she turned and grinned up at Anko.

"Now this is how to train!" she beamed up at her sensei.

"Yep" Anko agreed, "No risk of being hit by the backlash of your own jutsu, just the memories of it. AND by using the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu like this, you're gradually getting better at commanding your clones. Gotta ask though: why'd you want to learn a Katon jutsu? It's not one of your elements."

Naruko shrugged. "Ji-chan's proof that with enough hard work, a person can master elements that they weren't born with. Besides, I have so much chakra that I don't have to worry about using it all up too fast like most genin or chunin has to worry about. Plus, having a couple of wildcard jutsu is perfect for keeping any enemies off guard about my skills."

Anko regarded her student with an appraising look in her eyes. "Surprisingly well thought out there, brat." she noted.

"It occurred to me after Haruo-teme almost barbecued me." Naruko replied as the last of her clones dispersed themselves, "I'm planning on learning a Doton jutsu as well. Maybe a Raiton as well."

"First things first, try to use Endan without blowing yourself up." Anko directed her.

"Hai, sensei." replied Naruko as she created another shadow clone that ran opposite her and henge'd into Mizuki.

Anko sweatdropped somewhat. 'Gaki really has a grudge against the silver haired bastard.' she noted with a mental shrug. She couldn't really complain, what with her vendetta against her traitorous bastard of a sensei.

Naruko ran through the six handsigns for the jutsu and said, "Katon: Endan!"

A fireball erupted from her mouth and smashed into the Mizuki-clone, dispelling it.

"Nicely done brat." Anko grinned, "Now do it nine more times and we'll say you've completed it satisfactorily…for now."

Grumbling, Naruko made nine more shadow clones, which transformed into Mizuki, and proceeded to hit each of them with a full-powered Endan each.

"Not bad, brat." Anko said appreciatively, "It ain't perfect, but that'll come with time. Congrats, you pass."

Naruko grinned. "What's next?"

"Hmm…how about a Doton?" Asked Anko. She made the tiger handsign.

"Doton: Doryū Taiga no Jutsu (Earth Style: Earth Flow River Jutsu)" she commanded. Immediately, the ground beneath Naruko turned to mud and erupted into a muddy river, pushing the younger kunoichi away with a surprised yelp.

After Anko ended the technique and Naruko made her way back to her, giving her sensei the stink-eye as she did, the Snake Mistress gave her a rundown of the technique.

"Doryū Taiga may be a fairly weak offensive jutsu, but it is a useful one." she told her pupil, "Not only does it leave the target off balance and move them away form you, the mud can also be used as a base for other Doton ninjutsu. And it only requires a single handsign to use."

"Umm…can you fix my lawn?" Naruko pointed at the mess left by Anko's Doryū Taiga.

"Sure. Doton: Kansō-chi no Jutsu (Earth Style: Dry Earth Jutsu)." Anko said and stamped on the ground. The long track of mud melted back into the ground beneath it and hardened back to its original density.

"You didn't use any handsigns for that jutsu!" Naruko exclaimed.

"For simple jutsu that require only a single handsign, it's relatively easy to master it to the point of not needing a handsign" Anko shrugged indolently.

"Huh." Naruko nodded, mentally comparing it to her mastering Suiton: Teppōdama to the same point, "Fair point, but we're going to a training ground to learn Doton jutsu. I don't want to have to fix my own compound's grounds every day."

"Hmm. Good point, brat. There's a training ground that is mostly bare earth, Training Ground 34." Anko said with a thoughtful frown, "Nobody really uses it nowadays, so it'll be perfect to learn this jutsu in."

"Let's go then-dattebayo!" Naruko yelled enthusiastically as she legged it towards the gate. Anko followed her, grinning at the blond's antics.

'It's like having a mini-me!' she thought fondly.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Two Hours Later

Yamanaka Clan Mind Delving Room, Yamanaka Clan Compound, Clan Residential District

"He did WHAT to my pup?" Tsume snarled, seething at what Inoichi told her Haruo did to her son.

"I know, I know, I'm not happy either." Inoichi replied, holding his hands up defensively, "I can and will undo what has been done to him. Unfortunately, there will be lingering effects."

"Such as?" Tsume demanded, worry tingeing her voice.

"He'll still be the same afterwards, so you'll need to train him to not be misogynistic jerk. I will remove the more…distasteful…urges from him and make him open to change, but essentially, you'll have to knock him into shape." Inoichi clarified.

"I was planning on doing that anyway." Tsume snorted, "Why's Kiba strapped to the table?"

Indeed, Kiba was secured rather firmly to the table in the centre of the room. His ankles and wrists were bound by thick leather cuffs and a strap across his forehead kept his head facing upwards rather than lolling to one side, for the Inuzuka Heir had been sedated before being brought in.

"A fair few of the mental traps that the Yamanaka Clan use involve controlling the body to attack someone." Inoichi explained, "Sort of like an in-built Shintenshin no Jutsu. Those straps are inscribed with powerful reinforcement seals made by the Yondaime Hokage himself, so Kiba stands no chance of breaking free. Rather, he's going to damage himself trying to break free if one of those traps is sprung, which is why I asked for Hana to be here, as she is a qualified Med-nin."

Hana had been glaring at the wall ever since Inoichi's explanation of what Haruo had done to Kiba. Now she looked up, her face dark with anger. "Shippo dies for orchestrating this." she said flatly.

"Hana-" Tsume starts to say, before she's cut off by her daughter.

"HE DIES!" Hana snarled.

"The Hokage is very firm that no-one dies here." Inoichi remarked, "Perhaps sending him to the Blood Prison would be a good idea?"

The two Inuzuka women considered it for a moment before saying, in unison, "Arrange it."

"I'll tell Hokage-sama of the change in punishment after I deal with Kiba." Inoichi assured the two women.

"Well, get it over with already!" Hana snapped, "I want to start kicking my otouto (little brother) back into shape!"

Inoichi chuckled. "Just wait until the support machines come online."

"Huh?" Hana said as she looked around the room. It was of medium size, and had a conical ceiling. Just as she was gazing at Kiba for a moment, a device rose smoothly out of the floor and settled over the young ninja's body, leaving only his head exposed.

"What the hell is that thing?" The vet asked Inoichi.

"The support machines." Inoichi replied, "They enhance the abilities of someone using mind delving techniques and allow other people to channel chakra in to maintain the jutsu while I use my own chakra to fix Kiba's mind up."

"Oh." Hana looked at the contraption for a moment, "It looks like a sarcophagus."

"Eh, unfortunate similarity." Inoichi shrugged as he walked over and stood over Kiba's exposed head and ran through a long sequence of hand signs before placing his hand on the brown-haired head before him.

"Let's get this show on the road!" he declared, "Yamanaka Ichizoku Ninpo: Dokushinjutsu! (Yamanaka Clan Ninja Art: Mind Reading Jutsu!)"

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Kiba's Mindscape

Inoichi looked around. Rather unsurprisingly, Kiba's mindscape was the Inuzuka Clan Compound, empty of both people and dogs, which was slightly eerie.

'Alright. Have to find the Saihen o Ki no Jutsu nexus first.' Inoichi thought and took a step forward. Immediately, the mindscape became filled with mist.

"Ninpo: Kumori Nentō no Jutsu (Ninja Art: Cloudy Mind Jutsu)?" Inoichi asked, baffled. That was the very first mind trap jutsu taught to chunin level Yamanaka Clansmen. Nobody used it as an actual mental defence anymore.

Shrugging, he dispelled the jutsu, only to find himself atop the Hokage Monument.

"This time it's Ninpo: Ten-za o Ki no Jutsu (Ninja Art: Mind Translocation Jutsu)?" Inoichi remarked, "Better, but still not up to scratch." All that did was move the intruder from the central mental construct to an outlying area of the mindscape.

He made a few handsigns and used the same jutsu to propel himself back into the mental construct of the Inuzuka Compound. Inoichi frowned. These defences were, by all standards, pathetic. Any rookie Yamanaka chunin could set those two jutsu up.

'Then again, Haruo was only promoted to jonin four years ago and this alteration was performed six years ago, so it's not a stretch to presume that he didn't know any more advanced mental defences than the standard Chunin-rank ones. Better tread carefully, just to be safe.' Inoichi decided.

The Clan Head of the Yamanaka Clan dispelled the second trap jutsu and then used a jutsu known only to the senior members of the Yamanaka Clan that deactivated and destroyed any jutsu that used the host-mind's body to attack the intruder's real body.

The sound of two noises similar to glass shattering, signalling the destruction of two jutsu of the targeted criteria, made Inoichi smile. Then the sound of a lot of rapidly approaching paws reached his ear, coming from his left.

Turning his head, he saw a large pack of ninken approaching him. "Ah, Ninpo: Kokoro Hogo-sha Sōzō no Jutsu (Ninja Art: Mind Guardian Creation Jutsu). I was wondering what the last card he played would be. The borderline-jonin jutsu that uses imagery from the host's mind to assail and expunge the intruder. Very well played. Any average member of the Yamanaka Clan would be low on chakra and overwhelmed at this point."

Swiftly forming seals, he banished the pack from existence. "Sadly for Haruo, I am not an average Clan member." he said firmly, "Now, where is that pesky nexus…"

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

At the Same Time

Training Ground 38, Konoha Outskirts

Anko watched as her student and her clones practiced Doton: Doryū Taiga with some success, along with Doton: Kansō-chi. All in all, Naruko had three hundred Shadow Clones working on the two jutsu: one hundred as targets for Doryū Taiga, one hundred actually using Doryū Taiga and a hundred drying up the earth afterwards with Kansō-chi.

It was an efficient was of practicing the two jutsu and Anko gave herself a pat on the back for thinking of it.

'Still, It's odd that she asked to learn a supplementary jutsu, rather than an attack or defence jutsu.' Anko mused, 'Meh, whatever. She wants to be Hokage after all, so every Jutsu she learns is another one for the required 1000 Jutsu a Hokage has to master.'

"Alright brat, that's enough training on this for today." She called out.

Naruko looked around at her. "But I haven't got it down yet!"

"Brat, it's a Doton, you are a Futon/Suiton element." Anko told her firmly, "Just like how Hinata has problems with her Juken, you are going to find Doton troublesome to learn, same with Raiton. Besides, you've just completed the best part of a weeks training with those two jutsu as it is. Dispel your clones so we can head back."

Begrudgingly, Naruko complied. After the last clones dispelled, the Uzumaki Heiress trotted over to Anko.

"Oh! Anko-sensei, we've got to go to Tenten-san's shop and pick up my new clothes!" she blurted out.

"So we do." Anko nodded, "Tomorrow."

"Eh?"

"It's tomorrow that we have to pick up the clothes." Anko reminded the excitable girl patiently.

"Oh. Well, I guess we should do a bit of food shopping and head back home than." Naruko said.

"Yup. And when we're there, you can tell me all about that gauntlet of yours." Anko replied conversationally.

Naruko stopped and looked at her sensei. "Oh?"

"Uh-huh. 'Nai-chan was telling me it helps you with dispelling genjutsu." Anko replied, "And since you never take it off, even when doing the nasty, it must require constant contact to do that."

"Pretty much." Naruko admitted.

"Now why'd you keep such a secret from me and 'Nai-chan?" Anko actually pouted at her.

Naruko sweatdropped at the sight of a pouting Tokubetsu Jonin. "All ninja have their secrets, Anko-sensei." she replied uncomfortably.

"True, but how are 'Nai-chan and I supposed to teach you if you hold information on your abilities back from us?" Anko riposted, "You do need to keep secrets from people, but not from your team. Especially not from your senseis."

"Sorry." Naruko replied, chastised.

"Meh, no bother." Anko shrugged, "Fill me in when we get back to the Compound and we'll call it quits."

"OK." Naruko replied as the two kunoichi walked out of the training ground.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Timeskip - An Hour Later

Inuzuka Kiba's Mindscape

Inoichi grunted with effort as he tore apart the last of the mind-altering jutsus that affected Kiba's mind. They had been concealed adequately enough. The Saihen o Ki no Jutsu had been concealed under Kiba's bed, the Ikari Sōsa no Jutsu had been at the bottom of the manure pile (and he was going to have words with Haruo about that) and the last one, which he had just destroyed, the Uma Mekakushi no Jutsu, had been in the dining room of all places.

'Now, to find and deal with that Death Seal.' Inoichi thought grimly as he stalked around the mental world he was in, in search of his target. He had to remove it, otherwise there was a chance it could be remotely activated by a confederate of Haruo's that they had missed.

The Yamanaka Clan Head entered the training area of the Compound and immediately espied the target of his search. The seal covered the centre of the field like a grotesque swollen tumour. It was a sickly black/green colour and seemed to pulse with its own life.

Very, very carefully, Inoichi examined the seal. It was a very powerful one and had lost its anchoring Jutsus, so it was volatile. Any hasty move on his part could set it off, doing who knows what kind of damage to the boy's brain.

'Hmm. It's well applied.' Inoichi noted clinically, 'The matrix is solid enough that even without the three jutsu it was linked and anchored to, it is still stable enough not to activate without a push of some sort. Now how to get rid of it…?'

Inoichi had looked up the details of the Shinkei Dōmyaku Kobu Fūjin before meeting with Tsume and Hana. The seal was elegant in its simplicity, causing the host's brain to suffer a fatal aneurysm within a few hours of activation. It was a tricky seal to place and an even trickier prospect to remove, as you had only one chance to do both.

Inoichi ran through the handsign sequence that temporarily rendered the seal useless and activated it. The Seal froze and drew into itself, shrinking from the size of a horse and cart to that of a regular dog in seconds.

Running forwards, Inoichi caused a mental projection of a katana to appear in his hand. Reaching the shivering seal, he stabbed his blade into the centre of it and forced all of his remaining chakra through the sword and into the seal.

"Shinkei Dōmyaku Kobu Fūjin: Jibaku! (Neural Aneurism Death Seal: Destruct!)" he shouted. There was no way to safely release the death seal; it had to be destroyed while it was inert, it was the only way to fully excise the seal from a host.

The seal unleashed a shriek of pain and attempted to expand again, but Inoichi was having none of it; he spread his chakra throughout the entire seal and forced it to obey the command he had just issued to it: die.

With a final hideous wail, the seal dissolved into nothing, along with the phantasmal katana Inoichi had created to destroy it. Staggering slightly, Inoichi gasped for breath. That had been one of the strongest seals he had ever had to remove from a persons mind, and he knew that the Shinkei Dōmyaku Kobu Fūjin was nothing compared to one of the Uzumaki Clan's seals.

'Kushina would be laughing at me right now and saying something like, "What? You mean that pathetic thing tired you out? Looks like you need to start picking up your training-'ttbane!"' Inoichi thought whimsically as he recovered from his exertion.

Straightening up, Inoichi ran through several detection jutsu, including one that only the Head of the Yamanaka Clan had access to, in order to confirm he had cleared Kiba's mind of all seals.

Breathing a sigh of relief once all the results came back negative, Inoichi formed one last handsign.

"Kai!" He commanded, and left Kiba's mind.

Real World

Tsume and Hana started as Inoichi removed his hand from Kiba's head and fell on his ass, panting and gasping as if he had run a ninja-length marathon. He reached into his pocket and shakily drew out a food pill, which he crunched and swallowed as fast as he could.

"Inoichi?" Tsume knelt by her friend in concern.

"Th-That seal…was the most…" Inoichi rasped out, "…difficult removal…I have ever had...to do."

Hana was running a diagnostic jutsu over him as he spoke and her eyes widened. "You almost ran out of chakra! Eat another food pill now!" she ordered.

Chuckling hoarsely, Inoichi obeyed. Hana's expression relaxed somewhat once the second food pill started working its magic on his chakra levels.

"You cut it too close, Inoichi-san." the med-nin admonished him.

"Didn't have any choice." Inoichi replied hoarsely, "I only had one chance to remove the Death Seal on Kiba, so I had to risk it. He's clean now, so everything turned out alright in the end."

As he spoke, the device covering Kiba's body whirred softly as it retracted into the floor again.

"I think it's time for Kiba-san to wake up now and reap what he has sown." Inoichi observed with a small smile.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Kiba's Perspective.

Pain. Intense pain. Kiba reluctantly swam into painful consciousness and wished he could return to blessed, painless unconsciousness. His head felt like a blacksmiths' anvil and his mouth was dry as a desert at midday.

He let out a groan and tried to open and eye. Pain.

Okay, leave the eyes alone for now.

"Pup, can you hear me?" a familiar voice asked from nearby.

"K-Kaa-san?" Kiba rasped out.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

"Like someone just used my head to make Mochi." Kiba replied with a wince.

"Makes sense, considering you just had a Yamanaka in your head." another voice quipped from the same direction as his mothers.

"Nee-san?"

"Yup. And boy, are you in trouble, little brother." Hana's voice said darkly.

Daring to try to open an eye as a test, Kiba peered in the direction of his mother and sisters voices. A pair of scowling faces made him wish that he hadn't.

"Oh crap…" Kiba muttered. He would have tried to run for it, but he was secured to the

Over the next ten minutes, Kiba was lambasted by the synchronised pair of Inuzuka women. His intelligence, integrity, manhood and basic common sense were called into question. At the end of the rant, he was issued with a proclamation from his Alpha mother.

"You will be moving back into the Inuzuka Compound, pup, so that you can be retrained from the bottom up!" Tsume told Kiba, who went white.

"R-R-R-R-Retraining?" he squeaked out.

"Ah? Oh, no, not Retraining." Tsume reassured her son, "But we will be training you in the basic jutsu and fighting styles of the Inuzuka Clan from the bottom up, as well as stomping out your ridiculous notions that kunoichi are inferior to ninja in any way, shape or form. Understood?"

"Hai, Kaa-san." Kiba said dejectedly. He had a feeling that while this wasn't actual retraining, it was going to be just as humiliating but in a different way.

Same Time

Training Room, New Uzumaki Clan Compound, Clan Residential District

"Now that's something you don't see every day." Anko said admiringly as Naruko's Shadow Clone slowly and firmly fed the katana she had bought from Tenten's shop into En'ō Kago-te's open maw.

She had been sceptical when Naruko had told her about her gauntlet's transformation ability, but she had been made a believer when Naruko demonstrated it by using her Buki Henge: Kongōbō Jutsu (Weapon Transformation: Adamantine Staff Jutsu).

"Yeah, though when I first put it on, it nearly gave me chakra exhaustion." Naruko replied, "Thankfully, that was a one-time thing. Now, when I pass on, anyone can wear it as long as they have jonin-level chakra."

"Wait, so it can't come off?" Anko asked.

"Unless I use a Buki Henge, yes." Naruko said as the last of the katana was swallowed by the gauntlet with a {POP}. The mouth retracted and the rotating plates on En'ō Kago-te started to rotate with speed until it stopped at the blank plate next to the bō plate and the kanji '刀' (Katana) appeared on it.

"Taking the new form for a test drive?" Anko asked.

"Sure." Naruko said and made the monkey handsign, "En'ō Kago-te: Buki Henge: Kongōgatana! (Gauntlet of the Monkey King: Weapon Transformation: Adamantine Katana!)"

In a puff of smoke, the gauntlet transformed into a black bladed Katana, with a bronze Tsuba and Tsuka with snarling monkey heads engraved into those locations.

"Wow." Anko had to admit that that was one dangerous looking sword.

"Let's try it out." Naruko said thoughtfully, "Enma-sama said that adamantine is called 'the metal that cuts, but cannot be cut'."

The blond Kunoichi walked over and performed a basic shoulder-to-opposite-waist kesa-giri (Monk's Robe Cut) on the nearest training dummy. The wood and straw contraption was split in twain and the upper half slid off of the lower half to land on the floor with an audible thud.

"I barely even put any strength behind that cut." Naruko said, amazed.

"Let's try cutting it then." Anko said as she drew a kunai and charged at Naruko, who eep'd in surprise and raised the Kongōgatana to block the incoming cut.

{CHING!}

Both kunoichi were stunned to see the kunai, made from good quality steel, bend like a soft banana when it was forced to try and cut the adamantine blade.

"Wow." Anko repeated, "That is some dense metal."

Naruko nodded silently before making a half-tiger handsign. "En'ō Kago-te: Buki Henge: Kai!" she commanded, reverting the sword to its original form in another puff of smoke.

"So, you can add another...ten weapons to the gauntlet?" Anko asked, "Any ideas what the next is going to be?"

"A Fūma Shuriken." Naruko said at once, "Although, I'm not sure about whether to get a solid type, like the ones Mizuki-teme used, or a collapsible type."

Anko frowned. "You said that the quality of the initial weapon affects the quality of the finished adamantine weapon, correct?" she asked.

"That's what Enki-san said." Naruko confirmed.

"Go with a solid type then." Anko advised, "The collapsible ones are generally throwaway, average quality things."

"Right." Naruko nodded.

Just then, the door opened and an exhausted Kurenai walked in. Looking at Naruko and Anko, the Genjutsu Mistress gave them a small wave and asked, "Do you mind if I borrow a bed? I just found out that my apartment has been flooded."

Naruko nodded. "The second room on the left is yours, Kurenai-sensei." she told her teacher.

"Thanks Naruko-chan." Kurenai replied thankfully and trotted off to her room.

"Damn." Anko muttered, "Now we'll not get any more fun in until next week!"

Naruko shook her head and, standing up on her tiptoes, kissed her sensei on the cheek.

"Don't worry sensei. I bought you some dango, so you can relax while you eat those." she told a surprised Anko.

"Cheeky brat." Anko grumbled as she did an unusual thing for her and blushed.

Naruko merely grinned in response.

Next Chapter: The Trial of Team 7

Author's Note: I didn't exactly punish Kiba here -his mother did, ha!

No, seriously, this is not a Kiba-bashing fic. A slight Sas-uke bashing fic (Very slight), and definitely a slight Kakashi bashing fic, but not Kiba. He thinks with his crotch, is hotheaded and impulsive, but likable for all that.

Kiba is getting punished - by having to relearn every single clan jutsu he has been taught and getting smacked about whenever he spouts off anti-kunoichi rubbish, swiftly followed by a lecture on exactly how wrong he is.

See you next week!
