Start From Naruto: Shino the Dominator

Before he could do much, Kiba was back to square one: with a horde of monsters surrounding him, bearing the same twisted features as the fallen abomination!

"Damn it. Just how many of them are there?! Akamaru!"

Tossing a food pill into the pup's mouth, Kiba called upon Akamaru to join him in a synchronized assault. Chakra surged through their bodies as they both unleashed another jutsu, "Man Beast Clone!"

Poof! Akamaru transformed into a clone of Kiba, mirroring his every move. "Grrr!"

"Now, Akamaru- Man Beast Ultimate Taijutsu! Fang over Fang!"

Synchronizing with one another, they leapt forward and both their bodies transformed into spinning whirlwinds of destruction!

Facing the ring of monstrous abominations charging at them, Kiba and his clone became a force of nature, spinning like a maelstrom that wound back and forth, their fangs gnashing, and their claws slashing, pulverizing everything in their path!

Over and over, they tore through the enemy ranks, sending some twisted forms flying back, while shredding the rest into minced meat!

After decimating the final monster, Kiba finally ceased his whirlwind assault, sliding to a stop away from the battlefield.

Panting heavily, Kiba wiped the sweat from his brow. "Damn, they were tougher than imagined. It took a couple of hits to take each one out."

For a brief moment, Kiba believed the battle had reached a lull, allowing him to finally have a breather. But fate... had other plans in store.

"Arf!" Akamaru's warning bark pierced the air!

Without warning, an unknown ninja shimmered into existence before Kiba, aiming a kunai at Kiba's throat!

Thanks to Akamaru's bark, Kiba was granted a hairbreadth of time to evade death, his pupils dilating as he watched the sharp kunai barely grazing his cheek-

With lightning reflexes, Kiba activated his Swift Four Legs Technique, his body shifting and contorting in a blur of motion to retreat, only to screech to a halt when he noticed: more enemies had emerged, encircling him on all sides.

This time, they weren't pallid monsters, but actual ninjas!

Glaring at the enemies, Kiba growled, "Who the heck are you guys?!"

Without a word, the group of ninjas closed in, their kunai slicing through the air with lethal intent. Shurikens followed suit, launched at Kiba from every angle!

Kiba's eyes widened when he witnessed one of the assailants actually manipulating their shurikens with wires, twisting their trajectories in an attempt to ensnare him!

This level - it can no longer pass as genins! Where did all these ninjas suddenly pop out from?!

But Kiba was left with no room to think further. In fact, he didn't even have room to fight back, solely left with no choice but to dodge, weave, and roll, his instincts guiding him to cut through the chaotic dance of wires with his claws!

Alas, despite his nimble maneuvers, Kiba was not without injury. Many attacks had grazed his body, leaving shallow cuts that oozed crimson. At this rate, it'll be a matter of time before he gets whittled down!

Knowing this, with a fierce roar, Kiba summoned his strength, muscles rippling as he tanked the cuts and smashed his way through his assailants with Akamaru, breaking free from the encirclement!

Retreating from the chasing enemies steadily, Kiba's hands quickly formed hand signs-

Yet, just as Kiba prepared to unleash his ultimate ability, tragedy struck-

A sharp pain erupted from his back, the searing agony coursing through his body!

He coughed, blood staining his lips as he turned to look behind him. Standing there was a masked ninja, his figure gradually shimmering into existence from thin air like a master of camouflage!

"Genjutsu? No… that's- bugs!" Kiba was utterly shocked when he recognized the similarity between the ninja's camouflage bug and Shino's signature techniques, camouflage insects! "Why is that here?!"

The revelation sent a surge of adrenaline through his veins, sobering him up. His heart pounded, his mind racing to comprehend the gravity of the situation. Could it be- no- that's impossible! These bugs must come from somewhere else! Te- It's not time to let his thoughts stray!

With a steely resolve, Kiba tightened his grip on the kunai lodged in his chest. Blood trickled down his wound, but his spirit remained unbroken. There was still hope because... the wound was surprisingly not fatal!

Miraculously, the attack had deviated from his vital organs!

It was unknown if this was a mistake, but the masked assailant's next move hinted at a sinister desire to end it all!

Just when the masked assailant wanted to pierce the lodged kunai deeper, Akamaru appeared to save the day, sinking his teeth into the assailant's hand, forcing the enemy to relinquish their hold on the kunai!

Acting with Akamaru, Kiba launched a powerful punch backward, aiming to dig into the ninja's face-

But to his surprise, the enemy twisted his body and evaded the blow with an uncanny agility, leaving Kiba's fist to connect with nothing but empty air!

The enemy's body soon whipped back around, another kunai slicing toward Kiba!

Knowing he was in no condition to fight back, Kiba quickly pulled back to dodge the assailant's blow. Whoosh!

The quick movement made him feel the painful throb from the kunai lodged in his back, its presence a constant reminder of the battle's toll. "Tch."

But Kiba's feral will burned brighter than ever.

Grinding his teeth, Kiba willed himself to break free from the shackles of pain, and his muscles tensed, digging his claws into the ground, ready to bite back at the enemy who had wounded him!

However, just when Kiba made his move, a startling development occurred!

From the very ground beneath him, a two pale hands shot out and tightly grabbed his legs!

"Nani?!" Kiba struggled against their the cold grip, muscles straining, but the hold only tightened, unyielding to his efforts.

To his dismay, two more ninjas closed in and locked his arms in a firm hold, completely trapping him in place!

"Let go!" Kiba's heart pounded, his mind racing for a way to escape this desperate situation, but before he could formulate a plan-

The masked assailant surged forward with a kunai aimed directly at Kiba's heart! Dread washed over Kiba as the reality set in - he had no chance of dodging this attack! Is this... the end?

And then, in a moment of pure heroism, Akamaru leaped forward, throwing its own body into the path of the deadly attack.

For the first time in the fight, Kiba's eyes widened with terror, his cracked voice escaping him in a strangled yell, "NO, Akamaru!"

Time seemed to stand still as the kunai approached the loyal, little pup who risked everything to protect him...

Losing his loyal partner, it seemed inevitable that this pain will torture Kiba for the rest of his life, and at this moment, all he could do was watch the kunai draw closer and closer-

Clang! Unexpectedly, it was not the sound of metal meeting flesh echoing throughout the warehouse, but metal meeting metal!

When the clang of metal subsided, Kiba's line of sight finally connected with the figure that joined the chaotic battle.

With a her flowing black hair drifting due to her speed and a kunai held firmly in her grasp to block the enemy's advance, the familiar's figure's crimson eyes burned with a scary intensity, reflecting the flickering flames of the battlefield.

"Kurenai sensei?!"
