Loving the Nara.

12.

"Your slips for the exam today, be at the academy in two hours, room 303. Make me proud." Asuma said talking to his Genin, Little did Asuma Know, in a matter of days would he no longer have a Genin team.

Naruto, Shikamaru and Kiba were most definitely ready, leaving their belongings in a house not far out side of the village, their apartment already cleared off and their Akatsuki robes sealed into scrolls, They were ready to go.

"Thank Sensei, no hard feelings?" Kiba Said and Asuma wanted to know what he meant but shook it off and nodded.

"No hard feelings, I suggest you three eat before you start." Naruto and the rest nodded.

"I still have three coupon for ramen to use, lets go there I don't want it to go to waste." Asuma really furrowed his brows, The old man at the Ramen stand coupons never expired. He had a bad feeling about this so he went to the Hokage.

"You think his wheels are turning?" Shikamaru asked and the rest nodded.

"Everybody knows the old mans coupons never expire." Naruto Said as they sat down in their booth.

To say Asuma was shocked was true. He listened to his Hokage telling him why his Genin where giving him cryptic messages. He put his head head down, the one thing he didn't want to do was drive them out of the village and that's exactly what the Hokage was doing, she didn't even give them a choice she basically forced it.

"So my Genin are about to become rouge, that's nice." Asuma said trying to lighten the air but he was filled with dread, he knew that they didn't care about him but he cared about them. He loved their teamwork, the way they trust one another, hell Kiba as saved him from death a few time, he's just grateful to these Genin.

"They show no ties to this village at all, seeing as Kiba was treated like a dog by his own clan, Shikamaru's mother being homophobic and trying to force her son to marry a woman, and Naruto being beating for years by the villagers. There was now way to make them feel like this village was their home, I was thinking of them when I did this, believe me I don't want my grandchild to leave but he's not happy here."

Asuma knew what she was saying was the truth, he was here when Shikaku served Yoshino divorce papers and Tsume came to remove her son from the clan. He realized that they all needed to be anywhere but here.

"I understand, thank you for telling me, I'm going to meet them at the academy, you should ready for the Kazekage and Otokage."

Asuma left and sat against the academy wall, even if there was one more hour left until the Genin showed up.

Team ten who will soon no longer be, were walking towards the academy. Kiba talking about that Akatsuki Jutsu that he couldn't learn and Naruto promising to help him. Kiba stopped talking as he felt the presence he hasn't felt in a month, he whipped his head and ran to him.

Kankuro was talking with Gaara about Kiba, he was so desperately wanting to see him again, he also made his decision, he was going to follow Kiba anywhere, in that month he realized he needed to be with the smart energetic pup. His thought seem to stand still as he felt his back touch the ground and a face muzzle into his neck. The face then became eye level with his and he smiled.

"I missed you." Kiba Said lowly. Kankuro smiled and placed a hand on his cheek.

"I missed you too pup, so much that I'm coming with you. My siblings and father knows, I have their total blessing." Kiba wanted to wag his tail in happiness, but couldn't allow himself to transform.

"I'm so happy." Kiba fell against Kankuro and he chuckled, sitting up and having Gaara help him up as he carried his pup to the academy.

Gaara caught up to Naruto and Shikamaru who welcomed his presence greatly, Naruto was still pissed at Temari but ushered her to come as well. She looked shocked but walked towards Naruto. He smiled at her, and she calmed slightly.
