Draco should have felt complimented by Kiba's words. He was being dead honest actually. His mother, Inuzuka Tsume, was a rather wild individual and had a tendency to act like a grown up wild child. It would have explained why his food was uncooked.<br/><br/>Soon enough they had all arrived. Kakashi exhaled once Shikamaru started to doubt the person that they were heading off to visit. "Yes, there is a Dragon Sage, don't worry about that. We simply have to find them." Eventually, once they had made the most impressive part of the journey, Kakashi turned toward Draco. "I can tell that you're surprised. This is a good time to offer another lesson if you are concerned with training; not everyone is going to be exactly as you expect them." Saluting a bit, he turned toward the Dragon Sage as they entered the cave. "It's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it?"<br/><br/>As soon as the topic of training came up, sure as clockwork Keiso was right at the forefront. "I am willing to get started right away, no matter how painful this training is!" With a bark from Akamaru, Kiba soon expressed his own displeasure at what Gaara's brother was saying. "You know, if I didn't know better, you sound like a rougher version of Rock Lee."<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Gaara himself stood next to Draco and continued to offer his usual stoic scowl. While he too was more or less ready for anything, it was clear that he wasn't really all that impressed with what was going around. Essentially he had reached a level of development at this point that would have allowed him to use a sagely title as well, though he had personally elected not to do so. It didn't seem prudent, considering his young age. Then again, prudence and Gaara were two words that seldom ended up in the same sentence.
