"Yo, Naruto."
Just as Hashirama and Madara were out shopping, a familiar voice rang out.
"Woof, woof!"
A white puppy lunged straight at Naruto and snuggled into his arms.
"All right, all right, Akamaru. Long time no see."
Naruto stroked Akamaru's chin in his arms, then turned his gaze toward the newcomer.
"Kiba, aren't you on a mission today?"
Dressed in gray, Kiba looked at Akamaru in Naruto's arms and shook his head, then said with feigned jealousy.
"Wow, Akamaru really likes you, Naruto. Even I don't get treated like that."

Otherwise, being the third wheel all by himself definitely wouldn't work.
"Not Kakashi-sensei...!"
Kiba suddenly jolted, and his eyes began to shine.
"Has the First Hokage come out?"
He lowered his voice and quietly asked Naruto.
Even Akamaru's eyes beside him began to shine.
"Woof, woof."
Naruto nodded discreetly.
Kiba immediately glanced into the shop.
Since it was still fairly early, there weren't many people in the furniture shop.
"Speaking of which, why are you at a furniture shop?"
Kiba's eyes kept moving, and his mouth didn't stop either.
"Hmm, my teacher thinks furniture shops best reflect the current standard
