Natalia and Hinata were on their way to Echo village when they decided to stop. Natalia decided to work out Hinata's behavior problems. That way there would be no problem when they got there.
"Hinata, your father informed me of what happens after dark. I know how we can prevent that. I must warn you it might not cancel out all your wolf habits. It's a lengthy and somewhat painful process. Would you like to do it?" Natalia asked.
Hinata scratched her head for a moment before nodding. They went into a nearby cavern to begin the process. Hinata was given a shirt Natalia had that had no sleeves and revealed her stomach. In order for the adjustment to work seals had to be written on her skin.
"This will sting." Natalia warned. Hinata nodded and braced for the pain to come. Natalia placed her hands on Hinata's shoulders and said the words to the jutsu. Hinata screamed in pain as the seals disappeared into her skin. She passed out from the pain.
It took a few minutes for her to wake up.
"What happened?" she asked, then she remembered. "You said it would hurt only a little!"
"I said it would sting. I never said a little." Natalia said. "You should sleep peacefully from now on. "Now that that's over with we can start your training. Are you familiar with summoning jutsus?"
Hinata looked at her for a second and just shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, I'm gonna teach you how to summon dragons." Natalia finished. Hinata got a big smile on her face. "Rest up, little pup." Natalia said with a small laugh. Hinata wasn't sure how to react to the nickname, "pup". She figured that she might as well get used to it. That was her last thought before she drifted to sleep.

Hinata woke up and was handed a small bowl of cereal for breakfast. Hinata went at it face first and finished it off in thirty seconds.
"Look's like your eating habit wasn't cancelled out." Natalia said looking at Hinata, while handing her a small bowl of soup. Hinata was about to eat it, face first again, before Natalia put her hand in front of Hinata's head. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." she warned, handing Hinata a spoon.

Natalia led Hinata to a nearby clearing. She laid out a scroll for dragons.
"Sign the scroll with your blood then stamp your finger prints under your signature." Natalia explained.
Hinata took out a kunai and made a cut on her thumb, and she did as she was told.
"Hinata, you might want to practice biting your thumb to make it bleed." Natalia warned. "There might be some situations where you can't reach your kunai."
Hinata nodded and bit her other thumb, just hard enough to draw blood. She winced slightly as she stuck her finger in her mouth. Her teeth were sharper than a normal shinobi. However sticking her finger in her mouth was not exactly a smart thing to do; she just cut her finger again.
"Slam your hand down and call out the jutsu." Natalia instructed.
"Summoning jutsu!" Hinata called out. She slammed her hand down and smoke rose up. When the smoke cleared a small dragon the size of a small dog looked up. It had light blue skin and two horns pointing back. It had two arms and a short slender body. The look in it's eyes said that it was a baby.
"Not bad for your first try." Natalia said, then she looked down at the baby. "What is your name, little guy?"
"Blaze." the small creature said.
"Blaze, this is Hinata. She's the one who summoned you here." She explained. "Hinata, when you summon dragons you must gain their trust. In time they will become trusted and loyal partners. It's a good start when you summon a young child."
"Hi, Blaze." Hinata started. "I'm Hinata, the one who s-summoned you."
"Hi, H-Hinata." the child said, trying to say and memorize Hinata's name.
Hinata bent down and picked up Blaze and let him rest on her shoulder. "You hungry?" she asked. Blaze nodded. Hinata reached into her pack and pulled out a small rice cake. Blaze happily ate it.
"Thank you. I'll help you anyway I can, Hinata." Blaze said happily before he returned home.
"Hinata, if you summon adult dragons it will be harder to gain their trust." Natalia explained. "You could gain Blaze's trust because he was a small child."
Hinata nodded before speaking up, "Do you know how to get rid of the ears and tail?"
Natalia looked down and replied, "No."
Hinata was somewhat saddened. Was she going to look like a half human half wolf freak forever?
"However, I can teach you a genjutsu that can hide the ears and tail." she added. Hinata perked up and smiled. "Watch me and mimic the hand signs."
Hinata did so and her ears and tail disappeared. She felt her head to see if the ears were gone. They were and she looked down and her tail was gone too. She was really happy. Now she could get serious about her training now.
