Well, this series originally started as an idea centered around my idea for one of the most compelling Naruto ships. And, as living things do, this story evolved to be a bit more. Lots of spinning plates here, we'll see if I can keep them spinning for you all.

Oh, btw, I don't own Naruto, just an honest guy making a fanfic here 🙏

Round and round it went, seeming to carry on forever just to get to him.

After the first match's conclusion, with Naruto and Temari, Kiba was itching to bite something. And would you look at that? He was up after all. Him versus his next victim.

Kiba leapt down to the arena floor to meet his challenger, who in turn did the same. "I don't know who you are, but you're not going to be a match for me and Akamaru! Right, Akamaru?" Kiba asked, as his dog leapt from his arms to stand beside him. "Arrf!" was Akamaru's confident reply.

"Alright, alright, step forward, both of you," the proctor said. "Now, please begin," he said, before leaping away to give room for the fighters.

"Gijyuu Ninpou: Shikyaku no Jutsu (Beast Mimicry Ninja Technique, Four Legs)!" In a flash, Kiba's elbow landed a direct hit on his opponent's midsection. Poor schmuck coughed up a beautiful little bit of blood before being propelled in a backward arc by the impact, crumpling on the floor.

"I'm not done yet," Kiba yelled as he leapt in an arc himself to follow his fallen prey. Whatshisname lifted his arms to hold off Kiba's attack as he saw him starting to descend. The shinobi's hands started to emit a blue chakra as it anticipated whatever Kiba had in mind. But, personally, Kiba didn't care if his hands turned shades of hot pink. This fight was over.

"Saigo no Kamukoto (Last Bite)!" There was the sound of something, probably his arms, breaking as Kiba's right forearm descended with a heavy knockout blow.

Kiba rolled off him and stood up. "Call the match, proctor. This guy's done!"

Akamaru jumped up on Kiba's shoulder and gave an "Arf arf" in agreement.
