The Hyper-Active Knuckle Head And A Boy And His Dog
 

{Closed For Croup}

"Eh? Eeehh?!" the blonde shriekd, stopping a foot down. "Coem on, Tsunade-baa-chan! You've dragged this out long enough! I know there's a mission that you want to assign me, so just spit it out already!

Her left eyebrow twitching, she exhaled and let out a deep sigh while she propped her elbows up against her desk, and folded her hands. "Naruto, there's no need in yelling, or for the name in that matter!" she scolded. "You'll just have ot wait until your partner arrives."

"My partner? Oi! It better not be some lazy ass like Shino!" he huffed, crossing his arms. "What's taking him so long; kami, we could have been out on the mission by now!" he growled under his breath.

"Naruto..." Tsunade warned, when suddenly the door clicked. "Ah, looks liek there he is now."

Since he'd smelled Naruto's scent from outside the door (as well as his obnoxiously loud voice) Kiba entered with a frown. "You wanted to see me, Hokage-sama?" he asked. Akamaru followed behind and sat on his haunches, big tail waving back and forth.

"Ugh, don't tell me you're assigning me on a mission with this guy." Kiba jerked a thumb towards the blond. "I already have the perfect partner for any mission--Akamaru! An unstealthy guy like this would only get in our way."

Glancing around-- "E-EH?! KIBA?!" he pointed an accusing finger at him. "Oi, oh hell no, Grandma Tsunade! I am NOT going on a mission with this guy!" he defended, crossing his arms, he scoffed, and turned his head, sending an occasion glare to him.

"Yes, yes you are. Kiba, Naruto, you're both being assigned to gather a scroll located in the Waterfall village--"

"I'm still not goooooooing!" the blonde protested.

"Naruto.." Tsunade growled, standing up on her desk to shove both of her hands down onto her desk, making a loud noice when they met. "You WILL go on that mission." she glared, standing over him menacingly. "...h-hai..." he gulped, and took a step back. "..but I still won't like it."

After a few minutes of getting filled in on details, the two shinobi and pup headed out.

"Aw man, this sucks!" Kiba grumbled as they headed out. "Having to go out on a mission with you, and only you? What's Hokage-sama thinkin'? No way can I stand to be around you any longer than I have to!"

Akamaru merely followed behind them both, watching the two brash young men exchange jeers. It gave a doggy sigh, realizing that this would be one long mission.

"Well, I guess we better suck it up and just get used to it," Kiba said. "Just promise me that you won't screw this mission up--like usual."

"Screw it up? What the hell are ya talking about, Inuzuka? If anyone screws this mission up, it'll be you, tebayo." he reamrked, resting his hands behind his head as they began to head into the dense woods. "I can't believe Igot stuck with you and your mutt, bah.." he mumbled, rolling his eyes. "...I'll get Grandma Tsunade back for this....but, anyways, let's just hurry along. I don't want to have to be here all out in the alone with you two.." he grummbled.

"Hey, watch who you're calling a mutt, moron," Kiba replied with irritation. Any insult to Akamaru Kiba took personally. "I won't have any problem with beating your ass right here on the side of the trail if you keep it up."

With a nod, Kiba increased his pace. Mounting Akamaru, he quickly pulled ahead of the blond. "Heheh, let's leave this guy in the dust, boy!" Kiba said with a grin.

"Grrr..." Naruto growled at hmi, and cletched his fist. Gritting his teeth, he crossed his hands in the form of a cross. "Kage Bushin no Justu!" he yelled, and sbout ten clones appeared, and started running for the two escapees. "Heh, let's just see if you can keep up with us, tebayo!" they shouted, and began to trample right over them. Yes. Right over them.

Feet pounding into the dirt below, all the clones halted at a small stream. Bending over, panting, the knelt down and took sips of the cold water.

"Ooffff! You okay, Akamaru?" Kiba asked, panting, once the clones had gone by.

Filthy and covered in sandal-prints, Kiba caught up with the clones a short distance later. "What's the big idea, Naruto?" he asked angrily. "Your stooges could've hurt Akamaru!" Narrowing his eyes, he looked among the different blonds. " . . . which one of you is the real Naruto?"

The blonde's simply ignored him. "Yo, then stop with the threats, tebayo." one of them pipped up. "Tch, yeah! You and your constant blabbering about threats..." "They're open threats too!" another pointed out.

"Hurt him? Oh come on, dog boy, a little scratch won't kill the thing. You're just paranoid." he shrugged. All of them turning to smirk at him, they snickered. He'd never find the real one.

"Open threats? Huh! I'll show you how open they are!" Kiba snarled, and his eyes darted back and forth among the clones. After a few seconds, his nostrils flared, and the Inuzuka gave a smirk of his own. Striding forward, he went right up to the real Naruto.

"You stink worse than the rest, so you've gotta be the original," he said, gripping the surprised blond. Giving a short spin, he yanked Naruto over his knee. "Now then, I promised you an ass-beating if you kept messing with me, right?"
