Northstar Fragment: Dogged Resolution [Episode 221120]

by Kestral

Kiba stopped and stared.

"someone, help me..." said Naruto.

"Uh uh, no way, not gonna happen," summed up Kiba.

"Yap," said Akamaru.

"Akamaru's right," said Kiba. "Some problems you've just got to get out of on your own."

"How exactly did this happen?" asked Kurenai-sensei.

"I just did a pressure point manipulation that increases self-confidence," said Naruto, having a Hinata wrapped around him who was rubbing her cheek against his chest.

"Uh huh," said Kurenai, who sounded EXTREMELY amused by all this. "So it's a confidence or fear-removal technique?"

"Yeah," said Naruto. "So can I get some help?"

"No," said Kurenai.

"Ain't gonna touch that at all," said Kiba, moving to the campfire with the deer he'd brought down.

"I would have thought rabbit would have been a better choice," said Kurenai, deciding to ignore Naruto for the time being.

"Yeah, that was what I'd have thought too," said Kiba. "This guy decided to attack instead of flee."

"Sometimes they do that," said Kurenai.

"Hinata, you're crushing my ribs," said Naruto as he tried to wriggle around and get some leverage.

"Mmmmmm," said Hinata from her position.

"You did a pressure point to technique to bolster her courage, and as a result she's hugging onto you with a death-grip?" asked Kurenai. "Maybe that means something."

Naruto seemed to remember something, whatever it was seemed unpleasant from his expression.

"Hmph, so the mighty taijutsu expert finds himself in an unbreakable hold?" asked Kiba, smirking LOTS.

"Heh heh," snickered Akamaru.

"Did your dog just snicker?" asked Kurenai.

"Uh, yeah?" said Kiba, not getting the question.

"Isn't anyone gonna help me out here?" asked Naruto.

Kiba looked at Kurenai who looked back. Then both turned to him and pronounced their judgement. "Nope!"

"I've gotten water," said Kurenai. "Need help preparing the deer?"

"Me and Akamaru are all over it," said Kiba.

"Uhm," said Kurenai.

"I mean we've got it covered," said Kiba, rolling his eyes.
