"Why are we like this? Shouldn't we go see if the others got transformed too"
Naruto blinked, nodding in agreement.
"Yeah.. we should go find Tsunade and ask her"
The ninja 'dogs' still had all of their old abilites, so they hopped around from tree to tree until they came near the Hokage's office. They stepped inside- Tsunade was still human, they blinked and stared at each other, walking forward slowly, Hinata was the first to talk.
"Tsunade, whats happened, why do we look like this"
"Yeah, whats the deal"
Naruto piped up. Tsunade blinked, standing shocked for a moment.
".. Hinata, Naruto? This is quite odd. Have you seen the others yet"
"No, we were about to"
Hinata said, Tsunade ordered them to go get them and bring them all back here, and so they did.
Later, as they arrived, it turned out all of the rookies had been turned into dogs, including Kakashi. Tsunade just stared and shook her head.
"This must have something to do with the Stone Village, it didn't happen until then. We haven't a cure for this kind've transformation yet, you'll have to live like that until we do"
She sighed, ordering them all to leave. As they left, Hinata, Naruto, and Kakashi were told to stay here. As they all waited for what Tsunade needed to say, she finally turned around.
"I was going to ask you to do this anyway. I need you three to go to the rain village to go take this note to them. Be careful, I've heard there has been a sudden drop in Ninja that go near a certain area, off with you now"
Okay, so it was their first mission as dogs, and they were still trying to figure out how to do all of this. Kakashi and Hinata finally figured it out, but Naruto was slipping and following around. As they made it to the shore, they hopped on a boat, slowly heading twords the Rain village.
Soon they arrived, hopping off the boat and streatching out. As they trotted onward, they reached a rocky area, it was quite barren and the terrain was wet. They looked around- slowly as they tried to walk away, an evil sounding cackle intterupted them. They turned around- suddenly seeing the owner of the cackle- a Ninja dog. It was most likely a dog bred from the Inuzuka clan, who had been dumped here. He looked so.. weird. They stared at him, and he grinned insanely, taking a step forward.
"Mymy, Ninja dogs of Konoha, why are you here? Have you come to fight me, whimps"
He grinned, taunting them.
"Grrr! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, number one ninja in konoha! I am NOT a whimp, don't call me one! You're the whimp"
Naruto snarled in a fit of rage. The dog just merely grinned back at him, taking a step forward.
"They call me Zaito, Ninja dog of the bloody rain. I kill those who come along my land. So you will die"
Though, before he attacked, he suddenly dissapeared, reappearing behind them all. He looked at them all, stopping by Hinata.
"Well Well, this ones a pretty one- Nownow, whats your name? Oh, nevermind that, come on, lets go, your mine now"
He grinned, suddenly before Hinata or anyone could protest, he grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, and was then seen back on his rock, Hinata was pinned down, he was sitting on her, his paw was keeping her muzzle down so she couldn't bite him. He just grinned at Naruto and Kakashi, he was looking for a fight, now wasn't he?
"Let her go! She has nothing to do with thi-"
"Silence"
Zaito interrupted, he stepped down on Hinata's muzzle anymore. She whined, the stone didn't feel so good. Naruto snorted, leaving Kakashi sitting there, he somehow stood up, putting his two paws together.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu"
The clones popped up everywhere, three clones stood next to him, the others charged at Zaito. Zaito then sat up.
"Armor no Jutsu"
Suddenly, a tough armor formed around the dog, he was much stronger now, almost invincible. As Naruto's clones attacked him, he just sat there, watching them dissapear. Naruto grinned, holding out his two paws, and the other clones attempted to make a rasengan, and they actually made it. Naruto stopped for a second, trying to figure out how this was worked- then there it was! He grinned.
"Hey, Dogbreath"
Zaito looked at him, Naruto dashed forward, a blue light shining in his light.
"Rasengaann"
He said, the ball shot from his mouth, heading twords Zaito, it zapped the armor, sending zaito flailing backwards. The armor fell off, and he fell to the ground. He was still alive, but playing dead. As Hinata happily jumped up and started walking twords the others, Zaito reappeared, grabbing Hinata and jumping off, the others didn't have anytime to respond- she was gone. A hostage now. All they could do now is try and locate Zaito's lair.
