Kiba's search was still going on but it seemed like something was wrong and it was taking too long. They were going in circles and things were going slower than planned. Kiba just couldn't pick up Hinata's scent anymore or any of their scents…he couldn't even find tracks or any trace of her. He leaned over on the ground and tried to pick up her scent or find a track but nothing.
"Hey Kiba what's the holdup? We've been in this damn forest for days, man. This search has been such a drag."
"Shut the hell up Shikamaru! I'm busy tracking here."
"Some tracking! We've been running in circles forever."
"I said shut up… we'll find her it's just…I lost her scent and I'm having a hard time."
"Some dog you are…can't even track a simple girl…what a drag."
"Shikamaru is right…we've been here for days with no food or shelter or rest and we haven't found a single clue to where this Suna is and we don't even know if she's there."
This remark came from Ino and a lot of people seemed to agree.
"Well you can all go home then…I'm not giving up. All those who wish to continue this search can come along but all you whiny pricks who don't care about whether a young innocent life is taken or not can just get the hell away from me because I don't need anybody who doesn't care."
Kiba went off into the woods with Shino following. Naruto looked around.
"You guys are ridiculous! I know I'm not going to stand here with Hinata's blood on my hands, knowing that I could have helped her but decided to go home and sit on my lazy ass all day. I'm going with Kiba. Come on Sasuke and Sakura."
Sasuke honestly didn't want to go but did because he'd have a chance at Gaara and Gaara's coldness and demon inside of him would make for a great match. Everyone stood around and looked at each other.
"You know… I'd feel pretty bad if something happened to her…let's keep going Shikamaru."
"Ugh….what a drag."
Everyone resumed following Naruto and his gang who were following Kiba and didn't know where they were going. It took Kiba a while to realize that Gaara's gang had used water to erase their scent and tracks…so how would he find them now? Kiba jumped onto the highest tree and climbed up and saw the whole 360 view and realized where Konoha was and where the sand village was so he kept going in that direction. They were getting closer and closer to what they were looking for and when they got there they'd kill Gaara and take Hinata but was it Gaara or his demon they had to be concerned about dealing with or would Hinata be the one they would have to worry about?
