~Six Months Later~
Six months. That's how long the genin of teams 7 to 10 have been training non-stop and they were happy with the results of their ruthless training. Standing in front of the hokage was thirteen figures. The first one was Kiba Inuzuka and he had changed both physically and emotionally. His muscles are noticeably more defined, especially in his arms and legs, giving him a more rugged and athletic build that complements his close-combat fighting style. His posture exudes confidence and readiness, with an aura that suggests both physical power and the keen instincts of a skilled tracker. His face is slightly more mature, with sharper features and intense eyes that reveal his heightened focus and resolve. He also wears his signature red fang markings, which appear more pronounced against his tanned skin.
Kiba's outfit has also evolved to match his growth and provide him with more mobility and utility in battle. He wears a form-fitting, sleeveless black undershirt that emphasizes his muscular frame, allowing freedom of movement and keeping him cool during physical exertion. Over this, he has a dark gray, short-sleeved jacket with multiple pockets for easy access to tools and weapons, designed with reinforced stitching to withstand wear and tear. The jacket has a high collar to partially cover his neck and zips up in the front, providing both a casual yet protective look.
His pants are made from durable, dark green fabric, fitted for agility but loose enough to allow his rapid movements in battle. They have reinforced kneepads and several pouches along the thighs for carrying various shinobi tools, like kunai and smoke bombs. He wears standard shinobi sandals with metal ankle guards to protect his legs during intense combat. Around his waist, Kiba has a dark belt with a small bag at the back for storing his ninja essentials.
Finally, he has his Konoha headband tied around his forehead with pride, and Akamaru is always by his side, visibly bigger and more muscular after training as well. Next to them was Shino Aburame, he also had changed but it wasn't noticeable if you didn't know him well enough. His posture is calm and composed, yet there's a sense of controlled power in his movements that suggests he's become quicker and more adaptable in battle. His facial features remain obscured, as he prefers, but his presence exudes quiet confidence and sharpened perception. His fingers and hands show subtle signs of increased endurance and precision, reflecting the time spent honing his insect-based techniques, and his stance suggests a readiness to move or defend at a moment's notice. Next to Shino was Hinata and you can say that she's changed...drastically. After six months of intense training, Hinata Hyūga has undergone a remarkable transformation, both physically and in her overall demeanour. Her body is now more toned and defined, showcasing her increased strength and stamina from rigorous training in taijutsu and her Gentle Fist techniques. She stands taller with improved posture, reflecting a newfound confidence and poise. Hinata's movements are more assured and fluid, displaying the agility and precision required for her fighting style. Her facial features remain soft, but her eyes are brighter and more focused, exuding a quiet determination that sets her apart from her former self.
Hinata's outfit has evolved to suit her growth and abilities while still maintaining elements of her traditional style. She wears a fitted, sleeveless lavender tunic that falls just below her hips, which allows for greater mobility and comfort during combat. The tunic has a subtle pattern and is designed with lightweight, breathable fabric to keep her cool during intense training sessions. A high collar adds a touch of elegance while providing some protection for her neck.
Underneath the tunic, she wears a simple, long-sleeved black shirt that fits snugly and helps to protect her arms. Her pants are dark navy blue, made from a durable material that allows for easy movement, with elastic cuffs at the ankles to keep them from getting caught during fights. The pants have several pockets for carrying small tools and medical supplies, emphasizing her role as both a fighter and a support ninja.
