Tsurugi: Next Gen

Preview

I do not own Naruto

"Dear Sakura-chan,

here at Tsurugi, things couldn't be more active! Since the last letter I sent to you, 23 new kids entered the academy! Counting the two last inscription, soon we'll have more than sixty genins who are gonna help to re-gain Tsurugikure's glory! I'm so happy!

I still need confirmation from the Fourth Hokage about the next chuunins exams (which I think Shikamaru-san must take care of, right?).

Also, the sword monument was finally finished... Syng and Juusan-Sensei may rest in peace now! The technique of the summoning swords will be revised to cause less damage to the body... hopefully, this may save some pain to the new genins who are learning the jutsu...

I may drop by the end of the month. Misty will probably come too (to see Shino, probably!).

In hope of seeing you soon,

Tifa of Tsurugi."

The kunoichi finished reading the letter the carrier bird had just brought and smile. In two years, things sure had changed. Naruto was gone with Jiraiya, Sakura had start medical training with Tsunade-Sama and much everyone had change. The blonde boy was rumored to come back in a few month, and, of course, everyone was eager of the news, but the chuunins exam were taking most of the ninjas time, when they weren't in a mission.

Someone knocked at the door, breaking the thread of thought of Sakura.

-Oi, said a masculine voice.

-You may enter Kiba, said Sakura.

The pink-haired kunoichi was resting at Tsunade's place. The fourth being "sick" (How could a medical ninja like her be sick anyway?) Sakura had to fill most of the document, leaving only the seal of Konoha missing (which could be only applied by the Hokage). The dog-boy entered with his still-growing "pup".

-I don't think Tsunade-sama would like to see Akamaru here... smiled Sakura, obviously joking.

-Very funny, Sakura-chan. Answered Kiba, probably coming back from a mission, watching the state in which he was. Hey... is that a letter from Tiffany-chan? The adolescent smiled.

Sakura took the letter and removed it before Kiba would take it and closed her eyes.

-Since when did the "cat-girl" interested you, if I may? Smiled the girl.

Kiba blushed and looked away. The boy had been a great friend of late Syng and wanted fresh news from Tsurugi... of course, the girl herself interested him... a little.

-Each time she come, its only about Lee-san, anyway! Said Kiba looking back at Sakura.

He handed a dozen sheets of papers to Sakura, who was still smiling at the dog-boy. Akamaru barked, claiming the attention of Kiba who dropped on his knee and started petting him. Sure he had grown, the little pup!

-I guess your sister wrote your mission report, again, Kiba? You almost worst than Naruto or... the smiled softened away... Syng-san...

Kiba got back up and looked at Sakura.

-Y'know... I miss them too... At least... we know Naruto'll come back, smiled Kiba. And I think Syng would like us to smile!

They both grinned at each other before the boy leaved. While getting near the door, another knocked was heard from the door. Sakura did the same with Kiba and asked them to enter, which Shikamaru and Temari did.

-Oi, Shikamaru and... euh... the sand girl! Smiled Kiba.

-That's Temari, answered the women, sister of Sabaku No Gaara.

-Hey Kiba... finished your mission? Asked Shikamaru, now a chuunins.

-Yeah, just reminiscing with Sakura. See-ya later! Said the boy, leaving with his dog.

Kiba left the three of them talking about boring things, which he really didn't want to hear about. That last mission had been a pain in the ass and he couldn't stand anymore... He had only about an hour to write his report (which his sister, Hana, had gently mostly done for him) and he hadn't take a shower or anything. He smelled like dog! (That thought made him laugh).

-Kiba-san? Said a soft voice behind him.

-Oi Hinata! Smiled Kiba looking at the shy girl. It seems everyone's in here today!

Hinata laugh and got near Kiba.

-Did you hear? She said. Naruto-kun will soon come back...

-Isn't it like... in three month he's said to come back? Why the haste? Teased Kiba.

Hinata blushed, looking down the ground while walking by the dog boy. Akamaru whined suddenly.

-Akamaru?

The dog looked at the ground and started whining. Kiba, wondering was what happening, walked with Hinata outside the Hokage edifice. The dog rushed behind Kiba to hide. Hinata looked around but saw nothing, even with her Byakugan.

-T-There's nothing around, explained Hinata.

Kiba growled a little.

-By the way have you seen Shino? He said he'd help me with something when I'd get back, Kiba asked.

-No... he said he needed to meet someone.

-Someone?

They both heard a giant growl, coming from in front of them, Akamaru whined instead of growling.

-What the!?

Standing in front of them was a horse-size black panther. The giant feline wasn't eager to attack, but instead was watching the two ninjas. Actually, the animal had a yin yang icon on his forehead... and lying on her, Tsuki was bearing a kunoichi.

-That's Tsuki!? That means...

The panther kneeled before them, revealing a beautiful young women on her back.

-Cat-girl!?

-Tifa!... is she... unconscious?! Hinata panicked, running to her.

Tifa's body rolled from Tsuki back to hit the ground hard, hear first. Tifa snored... then woke up.

-Uh...? Why am I... oh...

The beautiful women, wearing new garments looked at Hinata, still half-asleep.

-Hey, who's trying to get a bigger breast than I? Tifa said drowsy.

Hinata blushed and Kiba started to laugh while Tiffany was getting on her feet.

-Dog-boy? So I'm already in Konoha? Man, that was fast! Tifa laughed heavily.

The black panther behind her seemed to sigh. She had been summoned for three days now! (The time it took for Tsuki to go between Tsurugi and Konoha, rather than a whole week by foot)

-W-well, it's a surprise, said Hinata, coming back from the shock.

Tifa got to Hinata and hugged her like a big sister, while looking at the dog-boy. While having Hinata in her arms, Tifa smiled at Kiba.

-So, why are you here, Cat-girl? Asked Kiba (blushing against him)

-Because... its THAT date... and I wanted to come back, softly said Tifa.
