*Opening scene: The trio is sitting at a lively restaurant, enjoying a meal together. Kage and Sakura laugh at Kiba, who's trying to snatch some food from their plates.*
Kage: (smirking) Kiba, you're not fooling anyone. We all know you're a master of stealth, but your food-stealing skills are pretty blatant!
*Sakura giggles, watching the playful scene unfold.*
Sakura: (amused) Kiba definitely has his own way of doing things!
Kage: (smiling) That's true, and that's what makes him special. Speaking of which, Sakura, I've been thinking...
Sakura: (curiously) What is it?
Kage: (leaning in) I could use a sidekick. Someone who can watch my back during missions and add some flair to our adventures. How about it? You want to be my partner in crime?
*Sakura looks unamused and raises an eyebrow.*
Sakura: (playfully) So, you're saying you need my help because you're not cool enough on your own?
Kage: (laughing) Not exactly, but having someone like you by my side would definitely make things more interesting.
Sakura: (thoughtfully) Well, I'm not sure about being a sidekick, but I guess I could help out sometimes.
Kage: (enthusiastic) Great! You won't regret it.
*Kage, Kiba, and Sakura continue their meal, and after finishing, they head to a quiet spot under the night sky.*
Kage: (serious) Alright, Sakura, I'll teach you some basics of being a shadow dancer.
Sakura: (eager) Sounds intriguing! What do I need to do?
Kage: (demonstrating) First, watch and learn. Observe the surroundings, blend in with the environment, and move without attracting attention.
*Sakura tries to imitate Kage, but her initial attempts are comically clumsy.*
Sakura: (frustrated) This is harder than it looks!
Kiba: *sits beside her, wagging his tail in encouragement.*
Kage: (smirking) Don't worry; it takes time and practice. Nobody becomes a shadow master overnight.
*Sakura takes a deep breath and tries again, gradually improving her stealth and agility.*
Kage: (impressed) Not bad, Sakura. You're a quick learner.
Sakura: (determined) I won't give up. I want to be helpful.
Kage: (supportive) And you will be. Trust me, having you with us will make a difference.
*Sakura smiles, feeling a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie with Kage and Kiba.*
Sakura: (grateful) Thanks for believing in me, Kage.
Kage: (smiling) Anytime, Sakura. We're a team now, and we'll face whatever comes our way together.
*Narrator: (voiceover) With Sakura's reluctance turning into determination, a new chapter begins as she takes her first steps into the world of shadows, guided by the friendship and trust she shares with Kage and Kiba.*
*Fade out as the trio continues their training under the night sky, their laughter and bond growing stronger with every passing moment.*
