I think the huge gap between my previous update and the one before it really effected this fanfic, since my hits took a fairly big fall, but thanks to those that did read and especially to those that reviewed.

Disclaimer: If I did own Naruto most of the filler arcs would never have seen the light of a screen.

Beep, beep, beep!

SLAM!

"Damn alarm clock" said the blonde normally hyperactive genin still half asleep.

"I wanna sleep some more.. Hey, wait... Kiba's getting me food today!"

Naruto jumped out of bed to get ready to go. And by the time his sheets had floated back onto the bed after being thrown into the air, Naruto was already in the shower.

He opened the door of his apartment ready to leave, when he saw Kiba walking by.

"Oi, Kiba!"

Kiba glanced over to see Naruto running up to him with his arms waving through the air.

"C'mon Kiba, your getting me breakfast!"

Naruto burst off leaving Kiba dumbfounded for a little bit till Kiba started to catch up.

"Naruto! Slow dow! And where the hell are you going?"

"Ichiraku's! Where else would I go?"

Damn, he really does eat nothing but ramen.

"Damn it Naruto! If you don't slow down, you're not getting crap!"

Not wanting to miss out on a free meal, Naruto skidded to a halt causing Kiba to crash into him.

"Crap! I said slow down, not stop!"

"Down boy, besides we're here."

Kiba looked up and sure enough there was Ichiraku.

"Hey, old man, 3 bowls of miso, just to start things off!"

"Sounds good, I'll have the same."

"Ok, just give me a few minutes."

The chef went to work on the ramen leaving Naruto and Kiba to chat amongst themselves.

"So just where were you yesterday, Naruto? I was looking for a while."

"Oh, I was out training my new jutsu with ero-sennin!"

"Wait, ero-who?"

"He's been my temporary sensei for a little bit, but believe me, he well deserves his title."

"Wait, wait, wait, his official title is ero-sennin? Who the hell would be stupid enough to call themselves 'pervert hermit'?"

"Well, actually, I don't know his really know his real name. But he's got long spiky white hair, he's big, old, and perverted."

"Hmm... he sounds like my neighbor but then again, my neighbor's not exactly a hermit."

Six bowls were put in front of Naruto and Kiba, three for both.

"Thanks old man!"

"What he said!"

Both of them quickly devoured their miso ramen, both of them in an unspoken eating contest. Both of their 3rd bowls were slammed on the table with only milliseconds between them. Then of course they both ordered more and went back to talking.

"So Naruto, I'm actually having a party soon."

"A party? What for?"

"You see, my birthday's on the 7th of July, but since at that point I was busy trying to become a chuunin, I wasn't able to have any sort of party. So instead I decided I'd have a late one."

"Cool, so do I get to come?"

"Yeah, sure, just get me a good present."

"So when is it?"

"Tomorrow, be at my house at noon."

"Kiba, I have no idea where you house is."

"Then find out, dumbass."

Naruto pondered just how he was gonna find out where Kiba lived, when he figured out how to both find out and piss off Kiba.

"Alright, I'll just go with Hinata-chan!"

Kiba cringed upon hearing that Naruto planned to spend more time with Hinata.

"Sorry Kiba, but face it, in this situation, we're enemies."

"Well no reason we can't be friends too. It's better then trying to kill each other."

"Yeah, I'd hate to end up like Ino and Sakura-chan."

The conversation was soon dropped as more ramen was placed before them, again they had an eating contest, and again, it was a tie.

Kiba reached into his pocket and realized that he didn't bring much money with him, after all, he didn't know Naruto would be forcing him to take him, he was just walking Akamaru. So Kiba did what any sensible person would do, he payed and left.

They left the Ichiraku (with Naruto whining quite a bit) and began walking around aimlessly and talking about stuff.

"So just where is Akamaru? Don't you always have that mutt with you?"

"Don't call him a mutt. And my sister wanted to give him a haircut since we're also celebrating his birthday tomorrow."

"You were dorn on the same day?"

"Yep, freaky isn't it? So anyway, just what was the new jutsu that "ero-sennin" had you working on?"

"Hold on, I'll show you."

Naruto bit his thumb, made the hand seals, and prayed like crazy that this time it would work.

"Kyuichose no jutsu!"

Naruto slammed his hand to the ground while Kiba looked at him wide-eyed.

I can't believe it. Naruto learned Kyuichose no jutsu I don't get to learn how to summon dogs til I'm 16! And he gets to learn it when he's 12! No fair!

Kiba's mind shut up as the smoke cleared to reveal what Naruto had summoned.

When Kiba saw what had been summoned, he did his best to not start howling with laughter. But it didn't work. Kiba was on the floor rolling around, gripping his sides, and laughing hard enough to suffocate himself.

"You've gotta be kidding me! All you can summon is a tadpole! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Shut up Kiba! It's a big tadpole!"

"Oh man! Stop talking, please! Or I'm gonna die from laughing to much!"

"Oh wouldn't that be a shame."

After laughing at Naruto for around 5 minutes, Kiba finally calmed down.

"Wow Naruto, you really suck at summoning!"

"Shut up! I bet you can't summon anything!"

"No duh, dumbass! I don't even have a contract with dogs yet, or training in how to summon them. But if I did, you can damn well bet it'd be something bigger than a dumb tadpole."

"It was a big tadpole!"

Kiba collapsed back to the ground to laugh at Naruto some more.

"Sorry Naruto, but you just make it funnier and funnier! You make it too hard to to laugh at you."

"Well, hardee, har, har, Kiba"

"Really Naruto, I am sorry for laughing at you so much, you still coming tomorrow?"

"I've never been the kind of peron to miss out on a party! See ya there dog-boy!"

"You too blondie!"

Hmm... I gonna need to get him a present... Hey! Maybe Hinata-chan can help me out! Now which way is her house?

I've taken the time to look over the reviews and I found something out. I looked at all the votes for which couple people wanted and the result is...

KibaHina: 5 NaruHina:7

So naruhina's in the lead, but not by much (I only counted individual votes, so if you voted twice than it the second one didn't matter). Therefore, if you want kibahina and haven't voted via reviewing, do so! And if you want to keep naruhina in the leage, then the same to you! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please vote! I mean review!

P.S. Sorry if there hasn't been much romance in the last few chapters, but there will be in the next one, in case you didn't get that in the last sentence of the chapter.
