"Shino, you look excited today!" Kiba looked shocked. "What happened?"
Shino was almost bursting with pride. "I...have done the impossible." He held up his finger. A miniscule speck was on the tip.
Kiba squinted. "What? Did you discover a new species of dirt?"
Shino shook his head pityingly at his dimwitted teammate. "No. I have managed to train a bug. I'm going to show Tsunade. Maybe she'll give me a prize or something."
Kiba's jaw dropped. "Wow! Can I come with you?" he pleaded.
Shino sighed. "Fine."
ONE BORING WALK TO THE HOKAGE'S OFFICE LATER...
Shino and Kiba were standing in Tsunade's office. Tsunade would be back at any minute.
Shinio held up a magnifying glass. "I'll give you a sneak peek. Mini-me here can do all sorts of tricks!"
Kiba looked through the lens. "Wow! It's standing on it's front feet!" he gasped in amazement. "Oooh! It's balancing on a speck of dust now!"
Shino smirked smugly, just as Tsunade came in.
"Now, what were you going to show me, Shino?" Tsunade asked.
Shino began his long pitch. "You see, Lady Tsunade, I have achieved one of the greatest feats imagin-"
Tsunade broke him off. "S'cuse me. There's a bug on my desk." She slapped it dead in less than a second. "Now, what were you saying?"
Shino stood there. He trembled a bit. Kiba slowly edged out the door, not wanting to witness the scene that would follow.
