InuZuka Pet Forest :
Heading inside Naruto is greeted with a lots of pets in the display cases around the shop . The pets were not caged like he thought , But they were placed just like a child in a Child's cradle .
But Before Naruto could call for a Shop assistent , he was called out
" Naruto ..What'cha doing here "
" ....Kiba , What happened to your face "
" Ughh ...Don't ask about a man's scars "
" He got trained by his Mom , Nice to meet you , the rumored Naruto-kun "
At this point a 15 year old Girl interrupted their conversation
" you are ...?? "
" I am Inuzuka Hana , Kiba's sister "
" Nice to meet you Hana San , I am Uzumaki Naruto "
" .... How polite , I thought you were same as Kiba "
" oyyy.. what do you mean ..??"
" Let's forget about that lost cause , what can I help you with Naruto-Kun "
" .....No wait what do you mean lost cause ,,....you fatas--"
*thump*
" He is here today to help me in medical Ninjutsu , So No worries Naruto kun "
Somehow Kiba's head got buried in the counter . And Inuzuka Hana speaks to naruto nonchalantly , without a single change in expression
" So What is it Naruto-kun "
" ... I was looking for some birds "
" A bird as pet .... how unique for a kid , you really sound mature "
At this Kiba also gets up and speaks
" Why do you want a bird , let's take a hound man ,they are awesome , right Akamaru "
" *yip*yip* "
" I don't have time to take care of a pup , Kiba "
" Dude , Ninja dogs don't need that muc-"
" Alright , Kiba don't inturrupt Naruto-kun "
Seeing Hana-san raising her fist and kiba ducking away , Naruto chuckled and stated his demand
" I want some pet birds , easy to manage without much care "
" hmm do you want them , for Shinobi duties "
" Shinobi ??"
" I mean as a summoning bird "
" umm , I don't know , wouldn't it be too expensive "
Naruto remembered his dwindling fortune , even though there is quite a bit left . to train a Summoning-bird.
( Avian-Link skill is the only reason I came here )
Avian-Skill has already reached Lv2 , And it's effective Range is now 200 Meters , Naruto decided to buy a permanent pet for this skill .
( Will A summoning bird have different effect with the AVIAN Skill )
Seeing naruto's troubled expression , Inuzuka Hana realises his difficulties and tried to approach the matter in a different way
" Birds are the easiest to raise and also the cheapest "
" cheap...???"
" yes , For a summoning beast , it's about training and diet with their Summoner and their training in the specialise field "
" is that so "
" Most Birds are used for recon Work , So their direction of training is similar and straightforward "
Naruto and Kiba listen to this explanation in rapt attention. Naruto also decided to try and buy a Ninja Bird for his experiment .
" Then which one do you recommend "
" For Ninja Birds We have Parrots , Magpies , crows , raven , owls and even Eagles "
" oh "
" We have so much ...!!!!"
Kiba was surprised at their shop's pets , especially for Ninja Beast , Kiba never took interest in these things before , so he was also surprised at Ninja birds and their uses .
" I personally recommend Crows , They are intelligent and easy to train and are also come at good price "
" Crows hmm "
Naruto thinks deeply and decided to ask for more information
" So how much a crow will cost , the Shinobi one "
" A Summoning crow will cost you 6000 Ryo "
" oh "
" ehh , that's really cheap "
Naruto gets surprised at the crow's price tag . And Inuzuka Hana also gets surprised at the Blonde's reaction , when mentioning the price .
( so 6000 ryo is cheap for him ....it seems I misunderstood him )
Inuzuka Hana's thoughts get inturrupted by Naruto's inquiry
" What is the difference between Raven and Crow "
" ....Ravens are larger , They prefer to soar alone and soar more , they are solitary or in pairs , whereas Crows have Smaller build , smoother necks , they prefer Flocks , they also flap wings more in a flight and can't fly far in a single run "
" ohh " Naruto
" oh" Kiba
" how much will it cost for a Raven "
" 10,000 ryo for one ,...If you take a pair then it will be 17,000 Ryo "
"...Good , then I will take a pair "
" woah you are really picking birds man "
" .... good then , Should we head to check them "
" Wait Hana San , there is one more thing "
" Eh...!! what now dude "
" Kiba , be patient you won't become a good shinobi like this "
" urghh "
" .... What is it Naruto-kun "
" I would also like a Owl "
" Owl ???"
" For night you know , like their Night Recon Work "
" ....hoo , Understood , The Owl comes in exotic category , It's better you see them with your own eyes "
Inuzuka Hana comes out from the counter and takes Naruto and also the Tagalong Kiba towards the back in an open Aviary to the left side .
Slowly going inside Hana introduces different Owl species , the shop collected them from all over the Shinobi nation , Most Owls are a favored pets by the nobles , that's why The Clan uses it's connection to collect them from all over the place .
Long-Eared Owl
Barn Owl
Speckled Owl
Eastern Screech-Owl
Snowy Owl
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
Tawny Owl
Great Horned Owl
Striped Owl
Spotted Wood-Owl
Boreal Owl
Hana shows them all types of owls inside the shop , Naruto eyes widen at the Snowy Owl , which looked exactly like the Harry potter's Hedwig .
But this is Shinobi world , and that showy white owl will definitely attract attention , Naruto's only purpose to get a pet bird is to use Avian Skill and share the sight in the night and sky .
Crows and Raven are common birds , And can be used in the daytime , as for night , What Naruto need is something that has night Vision and also stealth in Dark night .
" So , does anything suit your eyes "
" ...that Horned Owl looks good "
" ...hm that black one ?"
" Yes "
" Anything else "
" ummm "
" you have your eyes on that snowy owl , all this time since we stepped in here "
" ....Was I that Obvious "
" yeah dude , It's like *Woahhh* type of thing "
" But it will attract attention , not good for scouting .... especially at night "
Hearing Naruto's thoughts and reasoning , Both Brother and Sister fell silent .
Inuzuka Hana also sighs and remembered that these Owls are mostly used by Noble Ladies as their Pets. Shaking her Head , Hana decided to use her business acumen .
" Let's head to Raven section then "
" ehh??"
" Ohh "
" Since Raven's are finalised , let's check them out first "
Hana takes the kids to the Raven section , Naruto found himself in the opposite side of the Small Aviary , Most birds seem free just like the owls , The are all under the sky .
" They are all trained , so no need to cage them "
" umm "
" Hehe Awesome right "
Naruto decided to ignore Kiba , who was feeling prideful in a stupid way . Naruto looks around and sees most Raven's in a pair , There are only Few Who are lone and Solitary .
His Attention gets attracted towards a Sleek purplish Black raven flying down from the sky .

Naruto saw the Raven flowing down and sitting beside another similarly Sleek Raven .
Image
Looking at the pair , Naruto decided
" I will take them "
" ....Good choice "
Naruto looks at the Pair of Raven's but his Appreciation gets Interrupted by another Voice
" Yo , How Is it going Naruto "
" ...Tsume Sama"
" Stop with the Sama , don't we know each other already since Nara's Party "
" Tsume--"
" no no no , come on try again "
" .....Aunt Tsume "
" That's right , That's how it should be "
" What are you doing here , Mom "
" I came to fetch you "
" haaaaa , Why "
" To Train , What else , who wanted to be Top--"
Kiba interrupted his mom , from embarrassing him in front of his friend and Rival.
" OKKK I Get it , Then Let's Gooo "
" Stupid , didn't I tell you , It's your Uncle Who Will Train you "
" *haaaa* ....really that Old man "
" Now Go , He should be waiting "
" Wait a little , After naruto is done , i will go "
" Ho , So what you doing Naruto "
Hearing Inuzuka Matriach's questioning Naruto looks at Hana , who smiles at him without any hint of helping
" I came to get a pet Bird "
" .....A Bird , you shittin Me "
" Well , a bird will be good scou--"
" And A HOUND DOES NOT ????? BLAsPeHeMy ...!!!!"
Seeing her Mother's reaction , Hana starts to back up while chuckling to herself , she looked at Naruto with a teasing expression , like some Show .
" NOW ThAT you are here , You must get a Ninja Hound "
" But Aunt Tsume -"
" No But or Butts , This Aunt will Gift you the finest hound in the shop "
Inuzuka Hana picks up Naruto and heads inside towards the back of the shop , Hana And Kiba , with Akamaru on his head , follow their mother .
Naruto gets dragged inside , Under the forceful push of Tsume , Naruto couldn't even muster a single bit of Resistence , not that he wanted too .
( Ughh what do I do )
Soon Tsume arrived at the back of the shop , And Naruto found himself surrounded by some dogs , hounds and most importantly some pups .
" The first Hound must be a pup that grows with you , so how about it "
Naruto looks around the furballs , He almost thought of settling here permanently but then he remembered Kaguya's booty and finally came back .
" Aunt Tsume , there is really n---"
" Now , don't be like that , just chose a pup "
" bu--"
" Come on kid , just accept the gift "
" .."
" You like them , right .....I saw it in your eyes , the moment you stepped inside "
" .....well "
" oyy Kiba "
" what "
" come on help him , ain't he your friend "
" What's wrong Naruto , don't you like them , Look at Akamaru ..so cute , we will train Hounds together "
" *yip*yip*"
At this time Inuzuka Hana came forward and takes Naruto's hand and takes the kid and wonders around the dog-pen , while going around , she describes the dogs and pups . Seeing Naruto hesitation Hana finally spoke up
" Naruto kun "
" Hana San , you see "
" Naruto kun , this is just how Inuzuka Clan is "
" .....What do you mean "
" it means if they like it , then they will act like it "
".."
" don't think too much , just accept the appreciation "
" let's go "
Hana takes the blonde kid around the pen and let him see the different pups and hounds , while wondering around Naruto soon found an Orange Pup .
The Orange Pup was sitting down just like a normal dog , but the pup was watching him calmly and smiling like a silly fluffball .
Seeing Naruto attention drawn towards a pup , Hana stops and looks toward his the pup which has gotton Naruto's attention , Tsume and Kiba also looked at the pup that got the kids eye .
Looking at the pup , Tsume speaks up
" A Shiba Inu , .....not bad they are fiercly loyal "
" they are also a good hound "
" tch , not as cute as Akamaru "
"*yip*yip*"
Hana walks inside and scoops up the little pup in her hand , the little pup fits perfectly in her small palms .

Inuzuka Hana walks forward and slowly hands the pup to naruto's hand . Naruto carefully catches the pup , who seems to settle comfortably in his embrace .
" it seems someone has already chosen you kiddo "
" That's right Naruto-kun , it seems the pup has already picked you "
" nice now we can train together "
Naruto looks at the silly fluffball and finally felt relaxed , with all his stress melting away .
" Thank you , Aunt Tsune , Hana-San & Akamaru"
" that's right kiddo "
" That's how it should be "
" *yip*yip* "
" .... what about me , man "
Naruto , Tsume and others walked out of the Dog-pen Area and head towards the counter .
" Let Hana arrange eyerything for the Pup "
" Thank you Hana San "
" you can ask Kiba for anything related to the pups , he is reliable in those matters"
" yoshh , leave it to me "
" Then I will rely on you Kiba "
" Haaa , you finally got it "
Seeing The Inuzuka Family's Appreciation and Help , Naruto decided to respond in kind
" Aunt Tsume "
" Yo , what is it kid "
" How about a family dinner at my place today "
" hooo , you treating "
" yes Aunt "
" Mom , Naruto cooks awesome you know "
" Really "
" yup , you betcha , right Akamaru "
"*yip*yip*"
" Alright , then we will impose today "
" ohh , it's a party feast "
Soon Inuzuka Hana comes back and seeing the commotion , also finds out Naruto's invitation
" Thank you , Naruto-Kun "
" It's ok , Hana-San "
Seeing everyone gathered , Hana decided to ask Naruto something that he probalbly forgot
" So Naruto-kun "
" yes Hana San "
" So which one it will be "
" ??"
" The Horned Owl or The Snowy Owl "
