Tsume said, "I think I have a settle to score with Manda here." Kiba said, "You go ahead, right now, I have something else of importance." He hopped off Tsume and lay Hinata down on the ground, she was still breathing. Kiba yelled, "Kai!" As he did his hand seal. Hinata woke up and said, "Kiba..." He was relieved. Kiba embraced her tightly, he said, "I... I'm sorry... I should've protected you." She smiled, "It's okay... you still came." Kiba layed her against the wall in a corner, the safest portion of the building. He growled and said, "Orochimaru... you're going to pay." He hopped back on Tsume. Jiraiya could actually see chakra emitting from Kiba. Jiraiya got up and back onto Bunta. Bunta murmured, "That kid... how could he have... summoned Tsume?" Jiraiya said, "That idiot... apparently when that brat insulted him... he wanted to protect that girl more than anything else, even if he were going to die. She must mean a lot to him... but then again... isn't that why he came in the first place?" A loud crash was heard. There was Tsunade, standing upon the slug. She yelled, "Need any help Jiraiya?!" Jiraiya pointed and said, "Look. He's got it all covered." Tsunade turned her head and saw Tsume, she said, "No way... impossible... how could he have summoned Tsume... only the f1st Hokage has summoned him..." Jiraiya said, "Well... this boy may not be the 1st... but he's loyal... just like Tsume. This boy is willing to do anything to protect the women he loves. Kind of stupid yes. But at the same time, his emotion turns into Chakra, and from there, he is an unstoppable force." Tsunade gazed as Tsume fought with Manda, ripping flesh. Manda grabbed Tsume by the neck. Tsume said, "Remember the fact that I'm bigger than you. Also remember that you will never beat me." With a sharp movement, he ripped off Manda's head, Manda lay there, dead. Orochimaru looked dumbfounded.

Tsunade said, "My... the Legendary Three have turned into the Legendary Four." Kiba said quietly, "My enemy is still him." He glared at Orochimaru. Kiba said, "Everyone has to die sometime. Immortality is just a dream. More or less, it's a Utopia, but it will never exist." Tsume then said, "Unfortunately, your time is up." Tsunade said, "The Legendary Ninja's are all against you Orochimaru. Your accomplice is mortally injured. There is nothing you can do but surrender." Orochimaru said, "No. I can still kill all of you..." He aimed for Hinata and tried to kill her with the sword. Kiba ran in front as the sword slashed. It went through his arm. "I said, leave her alone." He punched Orochimaru in the stomach. Kiba yelled, "Now Jiraiya!" Joraiya yelled, "Bunta! Oil!" Bunta spewed oil from his mouth. Jiraiya yelled, "Ninjutsu fire technique!" A firery blaze headed towards Orochimaru. He was annihilated in the blast. The blaze soon died down. Kiba looked at Hinata and walked over to her. Hinata said, "I feel so weak... so helpless." Tsunade said, "Don't kill yourself, he did it because he loved you. Now... that was amazing... I still can't believe how this kid managed to do it." Tsume said, "I still wonder also... Only the 1st Hokage, your grandfather, rode on my back until now." Kiba slumped against the wall and closed his eyes. Hinata said, "He passed out." Jiraiya then said, "The kid must have used too much Chakra and got himself exhausted." Jiraiya picked up Kiba and yelled to Bunta, "Hey! We need a ride." Bunta grumbled something about hitting two Jiraiya's with one stone and nodded. Both Tsume and the Slug dissappeared. As Tsume left, he thought to himself, "Kid... you may be one of the best..."

Kiba woke up 2 days later at the hospital. Hinata was at his bedside. There were flowers. Irises. Kiba said, "I'm sorry." Hinata was startled, "Oh... you're awake. I was worried..." Kiba said, "Kabuto was right, I was a useless weakling." Hinata blurted out, "He was wrong." A nurse walked in and said, "Kiba, you can go home now. All your injuries have been healed, you should be perfectly fine." Kiba nodded. Hinata helped him off the bed. Jiraiya was waiting on the outside of the room, he said, "You're awake, I actually got worried." Kiba mumbled. Tsunade was there too, she said, "You've become one of the Legendary, I really congratulate you." Jiraiya said, "I don't think the bitch really means it." Tsunade yelled, "What did you say?!" She punched him, as Jiraiya flew through a wall. He mumbled, "Owwwweeeee." Hinata led Kiba by the hand into the meadow they were in before. Kiba then said, "I will ask you again, Hinata, do you love me?" Hinata hugged him, she was crying, as her tears fell onto his shirt, she said, "Yes. I do." Kiba embraced her back. As far as he knew it, this was going to be a longggggg year. Kiba shuffled around in his pocket and found the Iris he picked earlier, he said, "Hinata, it's for you." Hinata took it and smiled. Kiba said, "Of all days... this seems to be the best." Hinata smiled again and nodded. Akamaru gave Kiba a welcome home bark. Kiba laughed. Kiba said, "Do you want to go to my house tonight?" HInata responded and said, "Sure."
