"Summoning presentation without a supervising staff member?" Shino stood with his arms cross in front of Konohamaru. The young man laughed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"I thought it'd be a surprise course." Konohamaru said sporting a smile as the students laughed at his comment, however, Shino did not. His face showed no emotions whatsoever, he wasn't in the mood for playful behaviour. He looked up at the large toad, Gamagorō, that had been summoned and shook his head in a disapproving manner.

"If the Academy teacher would have wanted a Summoning demonstration, they needed to fill out the proper paperwork to have myself or would have called upon other's for their input." Shino turned around to look at the three students of Konohamaru, Boruto just looked at him. The boy was always off in his own world, but it seemed at the mention of the large beetle made the boy perk up.

"Allow me to demonstrate class, the basics of Summoning!" Shino yelled making all the kids look, class that seemed confused at him. They had already seen Konohamaru sensei summon his toad and now shino was to summon his animal.

"Um, Shino Sensei? Would it be a good idea to do that?" Boruto spoke up only to be ignored.

"Summoning!" Shino bit his thumb to make blood come out, the first couple of times of biting hurt but now it didn't have a feeling anymore. He placed his hand on the ground making a circle of black and lines come from around his palm. A puff of smoke, when it cleared he was standing in front of a large red and black beetle. Most of the girls screamed in fear, even Boruto was shocked to see this behemoth of a bug again.

"Don't be afraid, children!" Shino yelled over the beating of the wings. It blew the dirt around it away from the grass as it hovered. "Insects are our friends!"

"Really? I wonder..." Konohamaru said to himself.

"Shino Sensei! I don't think it a very good idea to Summon a large beetle when there's a larger toad nearby!" Sadara yelled making the tall man come to realise he had made a large mistake. He looked up at the two animals seeing the toad eyeing the beetle. He was about to call his beetle away when all standing persons around were pushed to the ground in a heave of strong wind from the bug flying upwards with a large toad on its tail.

Damn it, Shino thought to himself as the animals blasted off to the almost completed school building. The opening ceremony was to be for next week. Why me?

"The toad is aggressive!" Konohamaru yelled as the kids ran away as fast they could.

"Oh shit..." Shino muttered as it went straight to the roof, the large toad made a large crash as it broke through the construction equipment on the roof.

"Shino Sensei, what are we going to do?!" Sumire, the still class president yelled as her long purple braids had pieces of twigs and leaves in them. She came running over to him when she saw him out there. He just stood there, thinking, but he had no thoughts whatsoever coming to him.

"Shino? Are classes still in?" Konohamaru asked quietly making both Sumire and Shino lose the colour in their faces.

"Oh no..." she said to herself aloud. Konohamaru stood with his eyes getting wide. He crossed his fingers and called for a few shadow clones. Shino stood clenching his fist. I was so stupid, I let my anger get in the way of classroom studies...

He knew what the children of the school thought of him, the weird socially awkward man that tried too hard. And he did try too hard and this was another cut into the proof. He called some of his Kikai out to make two clones of himself.

"Let's go. Scatter!" Konohamaru yelled as the clones of himself and Shino ran with the real Shino close behind. Some children got out from hearing the large crashing on the roof. The toad jumped higher and higher to get the beetle that circled around the building unsure where to go. Until Gamagorō grabbed the large beetle with it's tongue. Shino's eyes widened under his visor as he saw his summon trying to get away.

The real Shino and Konohamaru gave a giant leap to get to the roof to call their summons away. Shino's Kikai seeped from under his large green coat that went down to his ankles. They swarmed and went toward the taod to try to drain some charka as it struggled to swallow the beetle. Shino's summon secreted a foul liquid from it's body as a defense.

The younger man went to his toad's head to try to break up the fight. Shino called more clones out from the beetles as they went to aid the beetle.

Until the roof made a creak. Both creatures stopped moving as did their owners. Gamagorō's weight had broken the roof. The two men were able to get control of their summons to make them go back to where they live. The two men fell from the roof to the ground. The clones from the roof turned back into a swarm of beetles to make a beetle sphere around them.

"Let's go help the children out." Konohamaru yelled from inside the giant black sphere of bugs.

OoOoOo

Kiba ran once he got a scent of the village, he used his Beast Transformation to run all four, it had been years since he ran like this it felt good to be a ninja again in a way.

He saw the large red gates of the village in his sights, he'd been running as fast as he could back. He looked up and saw a giant cloud of dirt over the distance.

What the hell is going on now? He sped up as fast as he could, he didn't stop as the two gate guard stood as this man went right passed them. He caught a scent of him, Shino was at the school. He had an earthy scent like pine mixed with insects. He made a turn now running on two again, then he saw it. The school was collapsing into itself.

Kiba ran as fast he could to the falling building, he didn't care at this point of personal safety. He just needed to get to Shino. He couldn't let the anger he felt be the last thing he said to him.

Kiba shut his eyes, squeezing a small amount of water from his eyes. He hated himself for saying all those things he didn't mean, do the actions he didn't mean.

He just didn't know how to react, it all came so soon. New students at the Academy ran out to hug their parents how came to pick them up after seeing or hearing the school coming down or each other as the building went down. Kiba reached the grass of the school yard.

He saw through the dust clouds Shino. He was holding two children in both arms. Kiba couldn't help but to smile as he ran closer but he saw something that made his heart drop. The gut wrenching sensation in his stomach, he saw him fall. He was sure he was okay after a fall, he was a grown man but just something made Kiba just want to rush to his side.

The children squirmed out of the arms of Shino as the Inuzuka came to a halt. He walked to Shino, crouched almost like he did with Akamaru, he reached a hand out to touch the back of his head. But he didn't move to the touch. He had to get him away from the debris falling. Kiba pulled him still facing down away from the rubble he was light strangely.

"Shino? Come on man, stop over acting." the short man struggled as he pulled him away and flipping him so he faced up to him. Kiba just looked down at him, his lips were parted slightly but no movement came from him. He reached a hand to his friend's neck, no heart beat.

"No…" he said to himself as he wrapped another arm around his friend to pull him into a hug. He already felt cold and stiff.

Why was everyone precious to him dying? First Akamaru now Shino. He pulled the man away from him to place him gently on the soft ground and took the back of his hand to get the dust off his clean face. Kiba looked close and shut his eyes once more.

"I'm sorry, Shino." he tried his best to keep his emotions in but he couldn't, "I'm sorry I'm such an idiot, why would you love someone like me!? I hurt you, I always did. God…" he wiped the tears away. When he cried for Akamaru, it was easier because he had someone there with him but now his friend was gone. Slipped away in front of his eyes but out of his grasp to hold him in his last seconds.

"I wanted to see your eyes again." Kiba spoke again as he ran a hand through his dirty locks.
