A week passed since the teens had talked to their sensei's, neither willing to do anything with their new found knowledge. However they both found themselves in front of the Fifth Hokage.
Kiba kept sending glances to the blonde next to him who still hadn't said a word since they were summoned.
Tsunade watched the teens while pretending to go over the missions details. 'What's got into them? Teenagers!' the Fifth thought while mentally rolling her eyes at the pair.
Naruto noticed the brunette glances while they waited for their mission briefing. 'Why is he glancing at me for? It's not like I'm gonna sprout a second head! So why does he keep looking at me?' inwardly whined the knuckle-head.
The room remained silent, and for a few more minutes no one spoke. 'Is there something I'm missing between these two? Neither one is bickering which is unusual especially for Naruto; by now he is throwing the biggest strop know to man.' observed the medic-nin.
"BAA-CHAN!" complained the blonde haired teen.
'Never mind' Eye rolled the Fifth.
"What you little snot! How many times do I have to tell you stop calling me that! I am the Fifth Hokage!" shouted the medic-nin, with an anger mark of her forehead. However this didn't stop the genin from calling her that.
"Whatever. So are you going to tell me why I'm called here with Dog-breath for?" sneered the blond.
Whack! The teen was sent it to the opposite wall by the fifths insane strength. The genin's body hit the wall and slid down like a rag doll.
Kiba just stood there, never has he seen the Hokage punch anyone so hard, yeah he seen her do it a couple of times but never like this. The K.I was rolling off her.
Tsunade began to walk over to the blonde. Her anger didn't slide but grew. The K.I was now flooding of her as she approached the Jinjuriki. When she approached she noticed blood started to trickle down the side of his face.
The brunette watched as the medic-nin drew nearer to Naruto. He was shocked when she stopped in front of him and noticed what stop the K.I flooding off her. Blood.
The rich metallic smell entered his nostrils. 'Naruto!'
He rushed up to his crush franticly trying to see where the blood was seeping from. 'Shit not good.'
"Naruto! Come on Naruto wake up, wake up. Please wake up!" shouted the brunette.
The dog-nin's eyes started to threaten to weep. Tsunade watched the exchange. A small smile graced her lips.
'Well, well the mutt has feelings for my otōto-san.'
"Please, Naruto wake up. I never told you that I care for you more than I ever thought I could." confessed the fanged teen. He slowly brought his face level to the slumped ninjas. His lips drawing closer to Naruto's rose coloured lips. Closer and closer they went...
RELEASE!
"BAA-CHAN!" complained the blonde haired teen.
Kiba looked at the blonde nin standing next to him. 'What the Fuck?' thought a confused dog-nin.
"What you little snot! How many times do I have to tell you stop calling me that! I am the Fifth Hokage!" shouted the medi-nin, with an anger mark of her forehead. However this didn't stop the genin from calling her that.
While the heated exchanged between the two blondes Kiba looked around to the opposite wall where Naruto's body should be slumped up against.
"Kiba pay attention!" barked the fifth.
His attention was back to the front of the room, where Tsunade was going over the mission briefing.
"Sorry, Hokage-sama." replied Kiba.
"Now that I have your full undivided attention I would like to get this briefing started." The medic-nin continued." This mission is an A-rank: Main objective is reconnaissance of an enemy strong hold in the north-east of The Land of Tea. Secondary objective is the capture of two subordinates and bring them back here, so Ibiki can determine where the other three bases are." conveyed the medic-nin.
"Aren't A-rank missions for special jōnin and ANBU?" inquired the brunette.
"Normally yes, but I chose both of you due to your unique talents. For example Kiba's acute sense of smell which is the strongest in the Inuzuka clan. And yours Naruto, is the 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu'." supplied the fifth.
"Is there anything else we need to know about this mission Baa-chan?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, you'll be leaving at sundown today so make sure you have everything you need, as this is a long-term mission. The base is a week and a half journey away when at a full run. Longer if anything happens. Finally good luck and come home safe, and I mean it, both of you." replied Tsunade while handing over the scroll with all the details.
With that done the teens left the office in silence. Tsunade watch them leave.
'I hope they keep each other safe on this and both make it home. And my otōto-san snags himself someone worthy of his heart.'
'Hurt him Inuzuka, and I will hurt you so much that you'll be begging for death to claim you!'
As the teens walked together Kiba was trying to come to turns at what happened back in the office.
'What the hell happened in there? It seemed so real! Grrr, was I under a genjutsu? I must have been. But who? Naruto? Nah he's rubbish at them. Then the only other person who was there... LADY TSUNADE!' 'Why though? Oh kami she knows! She fricking knows!'
Naruto looked at the teen next to him when he heard a growl emanated from his companions chest.
'He-he-he, he's cute when he's thinking and then realized what happened. WHAT...THE...FUCK!
Where on earth did that thought come from?'
'I told you so kit.' replied the fox.
'What are you going on about Kyuubi?' asked the irritated host.
'Well I did say you go all giddy and stuff and you're happy' retorted an amused Kitsune.
"Hey Naruto! Are you there?" Shouted the fanged nin while waving his hands in front of his friend.
"Of course I'm here Dog-Breath! Where do you think I went?" snapped Naruto.
Kiba retorted "Well I was talking to you, sorry, trying to, but you were so caught up in your own mind that I was saying you live on the opposite direction of me." snapped back an equally pissed nin.
"Any ways I'll meet you at the west gate at sundown. So catch you later."
With that the brunette took off to his own home, leaving an irate blonde behind.
"Whatever Dog-breath."
At sundown Kiba was at the West gate waiting for his partner.
'Typical he's always late, never on time.'
He watched the sunset, a familiar scent drifted to his nose. He smiled; the smell of vanilla and ramen the smell belonged to only one person: Naruto.
He turned and sure enough Naruto was standing there.
"You're late dead-last."
"Shut it you whiny mutt" retorted the Jinjuriki. "Speaking of mutts, where's Akamaru?"
"He's not a mutt! He's my best friend and team mate. He's at the vet, resting from the last mission we did two days ago." snapped back Kiba.
"Sor-ry. Anyway it seems we need to leave before it gets to dark."
"I suggest we travel until mid-day then rest then start up again at sundown. Let's get going." instructed the dog-nin.
"Yeah sure let's get going" exclaimed the hyper nin with a small blush crossing his whiskered cheeks.
The two ninjas began their long journey into the sunset.
