When Hinata Hyuga arrived at the training grounds, someone had already been waiting there.
Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka had arrived especially early.
Kiba Inuzuka in particular was unusually excited, hopping around on the water.

Shino Aburame turned partly away, his tone somewhat strange as he said:
"Hinata, could I trouble you to practice taijutsu with me later?"
It was clear that
