"Oh man, you really are an idiot aren't you! I can't believe you gave Hinata a panic attack!"

"Shut up Kiba! It was an accident, okay!...I was only trying to help, you know..."

"Yeah, some help! She hasn't had one of those since we were rookies! I thought she'd gotten over all that but 3 months with you and she's back to ground zero!"

"Yeah, yeah I get it okay! I just can't sit here knowing those bastards are back there messing with her head! There has to be something we can do!"

"Maybe there is..."

"Huh? What are you talking about Naruto?"

"I know we can't control what goes on inside that place...but we can sure as hell control what goes on outside of it! I have an idea...but I'm going to need everyone's help..."
