It was morning, Nami was browsing the market, she spotted a group of inuzuka clansmen ,two men and one woman with their massive wolf like ninken.
Unable to resist she approached with friendly smile " Oh, What beautiful dogs!" She cooed,
Reaching out to pat the neares one , The ninken well-trained but still a beast of battle sniffed her hand before allowing the affection
While patting and enjoy the fluffy feeling she said " They're too smart — you must raised them well!"
One of the inuzuka , a young man about 16 years old named Maru ( he the great grandfather of Tsume kiba mother) with sharp teeth and clan markings smirked " Of course, Our partners are the best-trained in the land of fire ! , I am Maru inuzuka this black dog you just patted is my late father ninken Kuro the white dog is my partner shirou "
Nami nodded , then said " I am Nami a civilian living here , I beat your father resting on peace as he see you taking care of his kuro and growing well with your partner "
Maru speechless for a moment because usually people apologize when they hear about his father was dead so didn't expect this reply he scratched his face a little and said "I beat he envious of me as i can play with our family dogs and training with them haha "luagh happily
Nami noticed as she just touched the paws kuro has a long scar running along its front leg , Her expression softened " Oh poor thing.." she gently stroked the fur around the injury and said " But don't be said a scare means you survived — it a mark of HONOR !"
Maru exachenged glances with his other two clansmen, they were not used to civilians treating their ninken like honored warriors rather than just tools or animals.
Nami tilted her head " But … it could have been avoided , couldn't it ?"
The lead inuzuka a man looking on his thirty looking wild his name ryouki frowned " What do you mean?"
Nami gestured at the dog paws " Well , If you had something like… dog shoes, but reinforced with metal or tough leather , It could protect their legs from cuts and traps , Maybe even add small weapons to them .. like blades or spikes so they can defend themselves better in battle "
Silence...….
The inuzuka stared at her
Then Maru slowly said "…Dog shoes , with weapons "
Nami nodded enthusiastically " Yes ! , you can also give them vests or full armor … or claws covers or —"
the inuzuka woman Hana 15 years old ( she the great grandmother of Tsume kiba mother ) interrupted loudly " HOLD ON !" her eyes wide open " You're saying… we should armor our ninken ?"
Nami blinked " Well …..yes ? ,You armor yourselves , don't you ? Why not them ? " her face puzzled
THE THREE INUZUKA MINDS ARE BLOWN
🤯🤯🤯
The three clansmen huddled together whispering furiously.
Maru whispered " That … actually not a bad idea "
Ryouki whispered " We could reinforce their paws against kunai traps and such !"
Hana whispered "Imagine if they had retractable claws like extra fangs ! , We could call them War-Paws or War-Claw Fangs "
Nami watching them brainstorming with growing amusement added , " you can also make claws weapon with chakra metal for yourselfs so you can added your chakra nature and get moves like fire claws or thunder claws ! " she thought ( I beat it will be cool dogs with armored and had weapons the human partners has claws with elements like fire and thunder it very cool ) she imagined it on her head
The three Inuzuka froze ,Then as one their faces split into feral grins
Within a week later , the Inuzuka clan had prototypes:
- Metal-clawed paw
- Lightweight armored vests with kunai pouches
- Spiked collars that doubled as close-range weapons, it can fire the spikes fast
The minor clans were horrified when they heard and saw what the Inuzuka clan did recently
And Nami ?
She went home, scratching her own ( very normal, non-ninja ) dog named Poppy behind the ears, and said " Oh thanks for guarding the house Poppy"
Her dog wagged its tail happily .
