A/n So thankfully someone is reading that makes this fun! So some guy named "that guy" I think left a review, I can't reply to him via PM because it's not an actual account. So he said something about not liking how in Chapter 5 Hinata was told to go back to the mansion. The reason for that is that Kiba knew that if she came with him, he'd focus on keeping her safe. I know she's strong. Don't worry. I've got a plan for her. :) Hope you guys are enjoying. Love you all. -Bandie24x7

I gained conscious to hear Naruto get slammed against the same tree I hit and fell down here. I rolled out of the way to see him smash down. He was horribly beaten. I looked up to see Sasuke dodging the sand, and Akamaru jumping down towards me. Akamaru had been fighting? Whoa. He looked okay, didn't have any scratches. Definitely wasn't as beat up as Naruto. I stood up and popped a soldier pill.

"Come on Akamaru. It's our turn to give the pain!" I said as Akamaru popped one as well.

"Kiba! Glad to see you're okay. I'm gonna need a hand again. I'm running low on Chakra," Sasuke said as he dodged a small cluster of sand.

"On it. Leave it to us. Take yourself a break, build up some chakra!" I shouted as I appeared before Gaara slashing a few times.

The sand stopped all of my attacks, but Akamaru was able to sneak up behind him. The hits kept getting blocked. I was getting angry. I decided it was time for a cheap trick. I dropped to all fours and Akamaru appeared on my back.

"Here we go. Secret style; Man-beast..." I was cut off by the sand, just as I had hoped. I appeared next to him and with a punch he went flying into a tree, Akamaru came from behind the tree and smashed into him. The debris from the tree went flying everywhere. Akamaru stopped spinning and grabbed him, he quickly threw him back towards me. I dashed through him with a slash, then together Akamaru and I spun into him several times. I laughed as Akamaru threw him towards Sasuke who was standing with a smile.

"Man-beast ultimate coalition! LIGHTNING FANG!" I screamed as Sasuke came flying through Gaara Chidori shining bright.

We laughed as Gaara fell into a pool of blood next to Naruto. Naruto struggled to stand and started saying something. It was muffled and very weak. We couldn't understand a word he was saying. Sasuke looked at me and nodded. This was the beginning of a great team-up. I extended my hand and he shook it. We looked down at Gaara and Naruto who had done the same thing. Naruto had a smile on his face. I never liked Naruto. He was always a failure and Hinata chased him, because she loved him. Regardless, he is a great comrade and turned into a decent ninja. I was looking forward to a rematch with him. Gaara attempted to stand when he failed, Naruto got up and helped him. We slowly started making our way back to the village. We expected to come back to smiles and a crowd welcoming us back. I mean we saved the village, or so we thought. The village was in ruins, smoke was covering everything. I used my nose to smell around. I could smell blood and lots of it.

"This is horrible..." I muttered under my breath turning to see Naruto and Sasuke having the same expression I had. When it hit me, "HINATA!" I screamed bolting off towards the Hyuga mansion.

"Kiba! Wait!" I heard Shikamaru's voice coming from behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see him holding Temari, and to his right was Shino and Shibi. Kankuro was limping behind them. I didn't care. I had to hurry.

The Hyuga mansion was leveled. I couldn't smell Hinata's scent. I got worried until I saw Neji fighting against some sand ninja. This war was far from over! I rushed in to assist him, but when I got close I smelt another group attacking another target. I almost yelled when I realized it was Hinata.

"Akamaru! Help Neji!" I shouted bolting towards Hinata's direction. Akamaru nodded and rushed to help.

Hinata was fighting off the sand ninja gracefully, but every now and then one would get a little close. She'd stop them then send them flying. One was coming up behind her as several more were charging her. She blocked all the ones charging her, and I fell behind her and stopped the last one. She nodded when I landed behind her. With a few movements the rest of the ninja were cleared out. All but one. He stood emotionless. He was obviously at the Jonin Rank.

"Hinata. Stand back. I'll deal with him," I said stepping between them.

"No! Not alone. I can help Kiba!" She shouted taking my hand and pulling me back next to her.

"ha, fine" I laughed as the sand ninja rushed towards us.

This was our first time ever trying to work together just us. I usually rushed in, Shino covered, and Hinata would guard if necessary. Now we were collaborating to bring down a Jonin. I dropped to all fours, and my chakra became slightly visible. Nothing he could do would stop me. I appeared in front of him, slashing, punching, kicking, and headbutting him. It was an extremely fast combo, but he took every hit and prepared his counter. I dropped back as Hinata came from behind him and started hitting him. It was a perfect opportunity. We were working perfectly together. I appeared next to her, and stood up grabbing her hand.

"Things are about to start spinning. Don't panic!" I shouted spinning up towards the air. I threw Hinata towards the enemy and then appeared behind him grabbing him and throwing him towards her. He made a quick wind style handsign then pulled his arms backwards. I gasped as I appeared between them. Arms crossed over my chest. The wind hit me, causing me to cough up blood, and fly backwards into Hinata. She caught me and landed on her feet. She set me down gently and rushed towards him. He made another handsign. With a quick gasp I appeared between them again. This time forming my own handsign. I used fire, hoping to get him to stop his attack, he didn't. The wind came rushing towards me. Suddenly A small fire ball appeared in front of me, and rushed towards him, using the wind to become larger. It hit him and he fell to the ground, lifeless. I looked around expecting someone else had done it, when I realized that it was actually me. I could use firestyle? I had to train that later. What mattered was that Hinata was safe. Akamaru and Neji appeared just as I got to Hinata. Neji laughed when he noticed that we defeated the Jonin. He looked around and then jumped off. Hinata hugged me, and said something but her head was in my chest so it was muffled. She looked up at me and smiled. I returned the smile looking into her eyes. I laughed when she pressed her head against my chest saying something, again it was muffled.

"What are you saying?" I asked putting my hand to her cheek and holding her gaze where she could see me.

"I-I... I said I love you, and thank you for helping me," She smiled again.

"I love you too, and you're welcome," I said returning the smile.

She simply just blushed. She put her hand around my head and laughed. I brought my face closer to hers. She blushed even more. I closed my eyes, and pressed my lips to hers. It was a quick kiss, but a good one. I pulled my face away to see her have a huge smile on her face. I probably smiled like a fool as well. I didn't care. I held her close and tight. We stood there hugging for the longest time we could. I caught the scent of another Sand ninja closing in, which reminded me that we were at war. He tried sneaking up on us, but I turned and pulled a kunai. He stood completely still dropping his arms.

"Look... I'm sorry, I don't want to be part of this war. I just... I wanna go home!" I said unzipping his jacket to reveal paperbombs.

"Shit!" I shouted grabbing Hinata. "There's no time. We can't dodge!" I spun around putting Hinata away from the blast.

There was a loud sizzle, then an explosion. I was sent flying across the area, spinning just enough so that Hinata landed on me, not the other way around. My whole body was sore. I was surprised that the blast didn't kill me, when I noticed a wall of bugs. Shino saved us, by wrapping the man in bugs and putting a wall between us. I laughed when he waved. I tried standing but failed to do so. Hinata helped me up, and we looked around.

"Team 8 is back in business, eh guys?" I said excitedly.

"Not for long. This war is over," Shino said pointing towards the sky. Kakashi sensei appeared and nodded.

"I guess you already know then?" He said sadly.

"Yeah." Shino replied.

"Alright. Your team doesn't though. The Hokage was killed in the battle. The enemy army is retreating. Seems like we won. The will of fire burns bright. Go home, and relax." He ordered as he vanished.

My mood went from excited to sad, and depressed. I looked at Hinata and Shino, I could tell that they were the same way, without even saying goodbye we all vanished. I went home and without even saying hello to mother or sis, I went and laid down. Akamaru crawled up onto my chest and started licking me. I knew he was trying to help, but I don't think he knew exactly how bad this was. The hokage was dead, and the village destroyed. Things were about to get serious. The will of fire, passed down through generations of Leaf Ninja, just grew a lot brighter. I will get stronger. No more friends will die.

A/n Hopefully you guys enjoyed this chapter. I kinda enjoyed writing it. It'll get better, there may be a few flaws or things I didn't explain. Have patience. :D Love you all -Bandie24x7
