"Alright, good work today, you three," Kurenai spoke, smiling warmly at her three former pupils. "I know we aren't an official squad anymore, but it's nice to get together like this and see how far your skills have progressed. All three of you have shown remarkable growth."
Her praise cause Hinata to flush and look to the ground modestly, while Kiba puffed out his chest. Shino didn't appear to do anything at all, but those who knew him would be able to detect a pleasant buzzing noise humming near his presence.
"Hell yeah!" Kiba shouted, enthused as always. "You bet we've gotten better! It's been a while since we last trained, sensei, don't act surprised!" He looked away, muttering under his breath, "though I still gotta beat that dead last Naruto..."
Kurenai examined him, a rather mischievous smile on her lips. "Well, Kiba, it's convenient that you mention that. I've been meaning to work on the weakness that cost you that match in the chunin exams."
Kiba growled. "Sensei, c'mon! How could I have prepared for a fuckin' fart?"
Kurenai poked him on the nose, causing him to jerk back, grumbling. She looked meaningfully at Hinata, who looked redder than she had in years. Shino raised a brow. Kurenai spoke. "I know how exactly. Shino, you may leave." The bug-user, though curious, detected the command in her tone. He left with an easy wave towards his comrades. "Kiba," Kurenai said seriously, "your nose is a great asset, and its sensitivity has ensured the success of many missions. However. You've proven that it can also be exposed as a weakness, one that you need to work on if you want to boost your survivability as a ninja."
Kiba sighed, irritated but understanding the point. "And how the hell do you expect me to do that? Unless you've got a fart machine on your hands, it's gonna be tough to fix. And why the hell did you make Shino leave?" he asked with suspicion.
Kurenai looked directly at Hinata, who appeared to want the ground to swallow her up. Kiba's ears pricked as he detected...a growling? No, a gurgling. He assessed Hinata, whose arm was gripping her stomach. She seemed uncomfortable. Kiba looked at her in concern, before realization dawned.
"No way. You want Hinata....to fart on me? Sensei, have you gone insane!?" Kiba shrieked, while Kurenai glared at him. Hinata threw her face in her hands in embarrassment.
"Yes. I figured you would want a close friend doing the deed, as it would hardly be appropriate if I were the one. Besides that, Shino's bugs don't allow him to expel flatulence. And Hinata's gas is naturally the most potent-- I've shared a tent with her after beans, after all," She shot a teasing glance at Hinata, who burst out with a loud 'S-sensei!' of humiliation. Kurenai continued, "Hinata is also willing, if reluctant." She gave Hinata an encouraging pat on the head. She blushed deeper.
"W-well...Kiba, um, I understand the...importance...of you building up...olfactory endurance," she managed to look him in the eye, "And I...want to do all I can a-as a teammate to help you...even if that thing is...erm, breaking wind."
Kiba, though disgusted at the prospect, was touched. "Y-yeah. Whatever. Do you even have to...y'know..right now?"
Hinata nodded shyly. Kurenai snorted. "Why do you think I only had her do some stretches? Gets the gas moving around, but enough to control. Didn't want her letting any out on accident. Those are all yours, Kiba."
The dog-boy made a face. "Great. I'd imagine we can't do this in public?"
Kurenai rolled her eyes, and Hinata looked mortified. "Of course not. You can do it at my house since we don't have to worry about clansmen interfering. Plenty of food will be stocked in order to keep Hinata's gas going."
Kiba looked to the skies, dreading the evening he was about to have. "Fine. Just....go easy at first, okay? Lead the fuckin' way."
