Wolf Child

Chapter Fourteen: Pups and the Wolf

Third Person POV ___________________________

They stared at Naruto's mother in shock. She wasn't a human but a wolf, it was odd but it made them wonder. 'Does the Village even know that there is a wolf tha raised one of their genin?'

"So you aren't a person in a wolf henge but a wolf who is able to henge as a person?"Sakura asked to clarify and Kiro chuckled. 

"It seems a bit odd at first but there are plenty of animals that learn the Shinobi arts. Theres the Toads, Snakes, Hawks, Slugs and even some marine life as well. Although most do come from the summon realm and some even have sacred shinobi arts. It's not that uncommon as you might think." Kiro chuckled as she continued to eat.

" She's got a point most of the animals in my compound can use justu, Even akamaru can use jutsu. We have a special super cool combo too." Kiba grinned as he stuffed his face with food. 

"About that how was your genin exams kiba? " Kiro asked glancing at him. He grinned even more as she asked. "It went great we passed our test with ease. From what I was told we are goinf to be a tracking team. I'm suprised Naruto wasn't placed in a tracker team though. He has very refined sense of smell and great tracker qualities." KIba replied as he ate. 

Kiro nodded and glanced at Kakashi. " What kind of team do you think team seven will turn out to be?" She asked and Kakashi place a hand underneath his chin. "They aren't stealth that is for sure and I don't think they are well versed to be a assassination squadron either. So Front battle line is my best guess. Two chakra powerhouses and one with what appears to be great chakra control. They will need alot of work but they aren't a total loss cause." Kakashi pointed out and Kiro nodded. 

" Well then  I want both of you to know that you are welcomed here at anytime and if you have any questions about training or need help that I'm willing to assist you.  I do expect you to come over for dinner a few times when I am home from missions." She added. 

"Thank you for the invitation, Kiro-san. I'm sure we will come here often." Sakura stated. She couldn't help but feel bad about everytime she made a bad comment on how naruto was raised or his parent. Kiro-san was really kind and maybe she shouldn't have said the things she said about someone she didn't know.

Kiro smiled and continued eating. "Man the food taste great mama, is there more ribs?" Naruto asked and Kiro sighed. "I didn't make any extra besides I don't see you eating anything but meat." She hummed out and naruto chuckled nervously and began serving himself some vegetables.

"Training was going to be in training ground seven but I'm sure Kiro-san will also appreciate us training here in these training grounds being that it's also bigger. She did mention it in our parent teacher conference ealier." Kakashi stated as he finished his meal.

"Hn." Sasuke nodded as he glanced at Kiro wearily. To him she just seemed to kind and being how he didn't want to close to anybody he wanted to stay far away from her but then again she was naruto's mother and Naruto had already made his way in sasuke's life and made him his best friend.

"Well dinner was good and all but I have to make it home and tell my mother that I passed. Thanks for the meal Kiro Kaa-san. I will make sure to also bring the herbs you asked me for. I'm sure we have some laying around at home."Kiba stretched and stood up and picked up his plate. 

"I'll be back tomorrow. "He was leaving and waving good-bye." Bye dog breath!" Naruto yelled kiba snickered loudly and huffed. "By little pup!" he teased as him and Akamaru left the house. 

"I'm not a pup!" Naruto snapped and Kiba laughed as he walked out of the front door after putting his shoes on.

"Kiba is right the food was great Kiro-san. Anyway I'm heading back to the village. Remeber be here tomorrow at 7 a.m for training. ja ne." Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sakura and Sasuke glanced at each other. "The food was good and thank you for having us over, But may I ask why you want us to use these training grounds instead of the ones in the village?" Sakura asked. 

Kiro cocked her head, there was a reason that she wanted them close instead of in the village. With the Mizuki incident and the aggression towards her pup naruto she didn't want him walking back home alone and they were currently investigating if there was another spy or traitor in the shinobi ranks. If Orochimaru had one there was a large chance there were two or three. Besides regular civillians were also pretty aggressive and the Jinchuriki couldn't be put in harms way. It was more of a council decision  and Kiro was okay with having her pup nearby.

"There's been a few incidents lately that have me concerned over your safety. The last Uchiha, an Uzumaki and a child of a council member you can be targeted easily and I would prefer to have you in arms reach. All of the new graduates are having training near a major shinobi compound. Most of this terms graduates are clan heads and children with a great clan standing so there is extra precaution." Kiro pointed out. She was being honest with them since she saw no reason to lie. 

"And out of the three none of you have Major shinobi compounds so this area here is where the council decided to place you, With Hatake Kakashi and Myself here I have no doubt in my mind that you will be safe." Kiro pointed out as she henged into a human and began cleaning the table.

"I understand you but you think we are safe with kakashi sensei? he doesn't seem like much." Sasuke spoke up for once and Kiro chuckled.

"Hatake Kakashi  an A ranked shinobi, Became Genin at five and Chunin at six he was held back due to the war and the drafting. Student of the yellow flash who later became the Fourth Hokage. Became Jonin at twelve then lead a successful assault to the Iwa supplies and then became a re-owned war hero by Fourteen. By sixteen he was the Hokage's personal body guard. He's been in the bingo book since he was a child and has a bounty on his head and  flee on site warrant in nine different countries. I'm pretty sure that Kakashi-san is strong enough to protect you." Kiro chuckled ruffling sasuke's hair.

"Amazing! But are you sure you were talking about our sensei?" Sakura asked in disbelief and Kiro nodded. "how about I walk you two home?" she asked and they nodded.

Team Seven was training their butts off in the hot sun. They were panting and sweating as Hatake Kakashi trained them. 'Ah, it's so peaceful I can nearly hear them asking for death.' Kakashi thought to himself as he read his orange book and they ran through the same regiment they got since they started.

"You guys are barely getting started don't forget Kiro-san was kind enough to offer tracking lessons today. Isn't training and being a ninja fun." he spoke and there was a loud groan coming from the three of them. Their teacher was a sadist with no mercy in him. Kiro-san was kind and all but now Sakura and Sasuke understood how Naruto wasn't fazed when he got punched. The hits Kiro-san gave when Kakashi asked her to spar with them felt like she was trying to kill them. They hadn't been told she was a Taijutsu specialist.

"How much longer is training?" Sasuke asked and Kakshi hummed. "Well from sunrise to sunset, we don't have any missions today." He shrugged and they felt death loom over them it was only 11:00 a.m
