"Hey, teacher, have you noticed that you only summoned 29 hounds, but yet 30 dogs are on the field?" One student on the roof asked, turning to him. He blinked, and then shrugged. "Sorry, but its impossible. I clearly remember 29 dogs." He replied. The male balled up his fists. "But teacher, I just counted them all atleast 3 times, and theres 30 dogs on the field. You can even count yourself!" He argued.

The teacher tilted his head torwards the direction of the forest. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20...21...22...23...24...25...26...27...28...29...30! Wait a second, how the hell!" He snapped back, attempting to count them again...30. 30 hounds were currently prancing around chasing other children. "But...I summoned..." He was cut off. "30 ninja hounds." The student inturrupted. He narrowed his eyes. "Well then one has to be a stray, I clearly brought 29..." The teacher argued. "But then 30 are on the field." The two got confused. The teacher gazed out into the forest sightings for a few minutes, re-counting the dogs various times. 30 was always where he stopped, there were no more, no less to count then 30.

"And have you noticed that Akizakura, Hanami, and Naruke have gone missing too?" The student asked, putting the teacher back into reality. He blinked once. "You know Shren, you have good eyes, congradulations. But your right...and the dogs keep eyeing that one puppy suspiciously..." Teacher replied. Shrens eyes widened. "Puppy! Why the hell did you summon a puppy onto the field, puppies can't really do anything effective!" He exclaimed. Teacher put a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down. And I didn't summon a puppy...it must be the one 30 dog. The one that snuck in. Or..." He paused, dazing into the forest again. "Yes?" Shren asked him, blinking once. Teacher continued. "Well its either that one just happened to sneak in, or Hanami used her unnamed jutsu on someone, or herself. You know, to camouflauge..." He went on. They all gazed into the forest, studying the puppy closly. That puppy...it was the dog that was looking for Naruke...or was it? It was that pure white puppy with brown splashes and emerald eyes that gave out confused looks. But then again...why was it fleeing whenever it met someone?

Teacher sighed. "Well we need to find out if its random, or another student. Because if its random, then it has to be gone. We can't have 30 dogs and less students. It'll teach them a valueable lesson, but it'll be too tough on the other students." He said, closing his eyes. All students on the roof shot their arms up in the air. "I'll do it!" They all offered. He nodded his head left to right. "No." He simply said. "We'll have to keep watch, and see if it matches anyones personality tightly." He said. They all nodded.

Meanwhile, Naruke eyes were still that bloodred color, and he was still poundering whether or not he should use the higher leveled sharingan or not. He had his second twig in his right hand, so he could atleast use something without fear of being hurt by traps. Thankfully the area was surrounded with trees. He remembered the arguement that he had with Kaikoku and Akizakura, the "are trees important" arguement that only took place yesterday. His mind had finally been made up just because of dogs and traps, trees were in fact important. And he had took notice of that, creeping into trees as hiding places, and using their branches for testing unknown areas. Hours had passed by, and he hadn't even been close to being bitten by the one certain dog that was after him. That white dog with brown splashes and green eyes. That dog...he began to think it was afraid of him. Every time they crossed paths, of corse it would atleast do something enough as to bark or snarl at him, but the moment he even dared touch a kunai or shuriken, that dog fled. And every time they gazed at eachother, it gave him a "...blink" kind of look, as if it meant no harm. Narukes dog was...wierd. Just like Hanami. The barking of the dogs was getting more annoying by the minute. 60 minutes in an hour...and he could of sworn that atleast two hours had passed by, and yet only around 13 children had been caught. He was thankful that his dog was rather easy on him. He remembered what Sasuke had once told him, "Dogs can read minds. They can sense your fear, your any feelings." Was it possible that his dog...his dog knew that he was trying to be respected, so it was letting him win or perpouse? He wondered, but he was still on gaurd. Even though the creatures were kind and loyal, they had also learned to trick. After all, dogs were realitives to the fox, one of the sneakiest animals around. After listening to Narutos stories...and Naruto had the Kyuubi inside of him, which was a fox demon, and Naruto had been rather a trickster in his childhood. But yet again, his dog was letting him win, and he remembered Hanamis story on how her and her dog helped eachother out when her parents left and never returned. But still, Sasuke had said to never trust anyone but yourself on a mission once...not even your own teammates could sometimes be trusted. Afterall, ninjas do have the ability to transform into someone who looks alike to another person. Memories began to flood into his head again. He closed his eyes, not wanting the sahringan to disapear. "Dammit!" He shrieked out loud, giving himself one punch on the forehead. "Go away..."

He opened his eyes, which were to his luck, still red. He took in a deep breath, and then spread out his arms. "Relax..." He allowed a few minutes for himself to cool.

"YELP!"

He srang around, once again hearing it. His calmness disapeared, and he withdrew a kunai once again, tossing away the twig. He held it in front of himself, beggining to become angry. He had a serious look on his face, much like Sasukes. He lightly growled to himself. "Okay, you cant hide for long you stupid mutt, so show yourself..now!" He yelled out finally, knowing it was possible a dog might of been spying on him. Only a mere rustling sound was heard. He spun around again, anger growing. He hated this test...it was hopeless, theyd figure out all of this stuff in survival training, which was coming up in a week. When Naruke got annoyed, he got angry. He blinked once at his sightings. With the sharingan, he could easily see miles and miles away, and he spotted a familiar blonde haired girl. "Yokiro!" He shot off to go and meet her up close, seeing her approach a wounded dog. "Yokiro, don't!" He called out, but forgetting that he was many miles away from her, she wouldn't be able to hear him. He continued to run, not sure why he wanted to save Yokiro from being bitten. He knew because his sharingan told him that the dog was tricking her, she would be bitten, and then lose. He began to force himself to speed up, to maybe push her out of the way. He leapt at the girl, putting out his hands, and knocked her down, also sending her flying away from the dog.

Teacher sprang up, seeing Naruke do such action, and he clearly made it look like he did it on perpouse. His eyes sort of widened in a way. "Hey, Naruke just saved Yokiro..." A smirk ran across his face. "Great job, Naruke..."

Yokiros face turned red. She reached out her arm and punched Naruke in the face, angry. He leapt back, covering his now bleeding nose with his two hands, sending an angry glance at Yokiro. "What the hell was that for!" They both exclaimed at the same time. Yokiro ignored him. "You just suddenly leapt at me like that, you did it on perpose, too! Naruke, you bitch!" She yelled. Naruke sent a glare back at her, ignoring how his nose bled. "Don't call me a bitch, I just saved you..." He mumbled. Yokiro rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you saved me from saving another thing!" Yokiro snapped. Naruke frowned, sighing. "Look, i'm sorry for the suprise attack, but trust me Yokiro, that dog..." He looked at it, and it lowered its ears. "Is trying to trick you..." Naruke paused, still gazing at the dog. Yokiro snapped her fingers. "No its not you idiot, it doesn't have the strengh to trick a girl like me1 Look at it, the kunai went through its chest! Dogs arn't really any stronger then humans, and wed need help if we got stabbed, so its pretty obvious that it needs help. Now leave me alone." She commanded. Naruke was about to let her up, but then changed his mind, and still held her down, as Yokiros left eye twitched impaitently. "Well!" She snapped. Naruke looked deep at her with his sharingan eyes, hoping that their color would do some effect to scare her out of the idea. "Yokiro, that dog will hurt you once you get to it, or anywhere near it...sharingan never lies Yokiro, and I have it." He proudly announced.

Yokiro paused for a moment, but then looked at him in an angry way. "Well you can't know possibly everything with sharingan!" She argued. Naruke sighed, letting her up. "Yokiro, I promise I won't bother you until after survival training, which is next week, if you just believe me." He said. Yokiro paused once again, but then gave Naruke her thumb. "Fine, but your dead if you don't keep that promise..." She warned. Naruke nodded calmly and wrapped his thumb around Yokiros, making the promise official. Yokiro looked around and then walked off to the north, as Naruke walked west.

Teacher smiled from the rooftop, seeming to forget all about the weird puppy. "Nice job once again, Naruke..." He said, having a confident expression.

To Be Continued...

(Sorry for the short chapter Violet, but i'm braindead at the moment...and for those of you who don't notice, Hanami is "that one weird puppy that keeps on popping outta nowhere by Naruke and driving all of the other dogs crazy.)
