"Mine’s Kiba, i’m a hound dog 🐶"

KibaNaru headcanons!

(That absolutely nobody asked for. Except you, fellow anon. This is for US, twin ♥)

🐶 I feel like it starts to happen as soon as Naruto gets back from training with Jiraiya. He's grown up, stronger, past puberty, and man... he smells good.

🐶 I can just imagine him smelling absolutely DIVINE to Kiba's souped up dog clan senses. Foxes are canines, and Naruto has been exposed to Kurama's chakra since his literal conception. All that refined fox energy has coalesced and ingrained itself as a central part of him.

🐶 Kiba would 100% deny it to himself at first. Naruto Uzumaki? Seriously? If anyone ever found out, he'd never live it down.

🐶 But then there Naruto is, golden hair and golden skin and god, were his eyes always that blue? Every time he came around it'd be like getting scent bombed in the face. Eventually, Kiba would do what any dog faced with a divine smell would— he'd follow his nose.

🐶 Naruto would absolutely not get it at first. He may have marinated in canine juju or whatever but it's not like he grew up in a dog clan or has any idea what that means. I imagine Naruto, having come from the royal line within the Uzumaki clan and imbued with Kurama's chakra, would be near purebred status. Kiba is basically a scruffy street mutt by comparison, a mix of too many breeds to be any one, distinguishable thing.

🐶 But they've always kind of gotten along. They're similar in a lot of ways, rough and tumble, willing to get their hands dirty, a little dumb but loyal to a fault. And when Naruto the social butterfly naturally gravitates closer, it's only a matter of time before Kiba is inching in more and more, starting to register some internal concept of territory when he looks at him.

🐶 He'd get so close. Naruto, with his no sense of personal space and no healthy frame of reference for friendship, wouldn't question an arm slung over his shoulder or a nose hovering too close to his neck. The way Kiba would start to crowd into him and trail after him, always poking fun and teasing, trying to get a rise out of him.

🐶 Suddenly, Kiba would become acutely aware of how skinny Naruto was. It wasn't right for him to be eating so little, and as a member of the head family, he'd have access to all the funds needed to feed him. And his apartment— it was awfully drafty. Naruto could get sick if he stayed in a place like that. It seemed only right he goad him into moving, perhaps into one of the very properties his clan owns.

🐶 Kiba would start doing all the things a dog does when it finds a mate it wants. Feeding him, housing him, trailing after him doggedly and baring his teeth at any perceived competition. Basically dancing to a tune nobody else could hear.

🐶 (Except Kakashi, who probably just raises an eyebrow and scoffs when Kiba glares at him because what is a dog compared to a wolf. Kiba bearing his teeth at him would be amusing if it weren't so sad.)

🐶 Kiba would start taking Naruto's clothes and leaving his own. Trying to get his scent on Naruto in any way he could. He'd stage it as barging into the "new place he helped Naruto find" but his motives? Fully ulterior, obviously.

🐶 Naruto is a clueless little moron that we love and adore and would probably at least start to catch on around the time Kiba started trying to groom him. A good lick to the face would definitely have him pausing in his tracks.

🐶 Kiba would definitely just fucking lie, dude. Why risk scaring him off when he's this far in? Like nah, bro. It's a normal Inuzuka thing! Who doesn't lick the homies goodnight? He tastes all his friends' necks and bites down hard enough to leave marks!

🐶 Naruto is like "well if you say so 🧍" even though he senses something is off. He tries to talk to Sakura about it but she deadass is ignoring him tbh. Like how ridiculous. Kiba, the straightest straight guy to ever exist, fuckboy energy, total moron? Being gay? With Naruto of all people?

🐶 More likely than you'd think. But I digress.

🐶 Kiba would definitely pull the "wait, you haven't had your first real kiss yet? I'll help you practice. Nah, dude, it's totally normal to help your friends practice. All really close friends do it!"

🐶 And then they're just making out. Kiba is regularly licking every inch of visible skin and chewing on him like an old shoe. Kakashi probably whoops him for it later because Naruto isn't a chew toy but in the meantime, Naruto is just letting this happen and trying to clumsily reciprocate because even if it's new and odd, it feels good

🐶 Not only is he finally close with someone the way he's always dreamed of being, the strange, groaning, fragile part of him that always aches has finally settled. All these weird itches he's had all his life have finally been scratched. Something in him eases as Kiba drags him further and further into his instincts.

🐶 Like, this is kind of what he needed all along. Another canine to not complete him per se, but to show him how to live and give him a place to. Kiba is rough in his handling— he's in tune with his instincts and animalistic. And Naruto, through being with him, learns everything he never got to.

🐶 Basically Kiba "nah, trust me bro"ing Naruto into a gay relationship. And somehow, nobody but Kakashi notices. Kiba is literally the most obnoxious, pigtail pulling, nasty, horny, persistent little idiot and not a soul picks up on it. And he wasn't even trying to hide it. He has literally been growling at people and actively posturing.

🐶 Naruto: "Sakura, Kiba keeps kissing me. But like, with tongue. Like he's trying to eat me or something. And it kinda feels really good but he also keeps biting my thighs and falling asleep between them and he says it's normal but it kinda feels gay, believe it."

Sakura, not paying attention: "Hmmm sounds like normal Kiba, Naruto. I wouldn't worry about it."

🐶 They eventually bang for real and Kiba just,,, decides that's it. The tipping point. They're together now. Mated. Married. Same difference.

🐶 Kiba would be insatiable after that and Naruto would be like wow, this is a cool new thing that feels really, really, really good. Why not keep doing it? He's heard the term friends with benefits before. It's fine, it's cool. Kiba says not to worry about it and acts so casual, of course it isn't weird!

🐶 Kiba would be rough but Naruto has the stamina of a god, he could take it. Kiba would definitely be the type to see Naruto covered in mud and shove him back in the puddle to slobber over him. Dirty, clean, outdoors, inside. He's a dog at heart, he doesn't give a shit.

🐶 Naruto would like save the village from Pein and yk Kiba would want that cookie SO bad. And he'd make it good as hell, too. Naruto saved everyone and is so strong, and he's perfect, and he smells good, and now the entire village adores him. As his mate, it's Kiba's job to give him everything. To provide, whether that be sustenance, security, shelter, or pleasure. Whatever Naruto wants, Kiba is gonna give it to him.

🐶 Naruto would drop a "good boy" in the steamy thick of it and Kiba would never recover.

🐶 Kiba: "This is my boyfriend, Naruto!"

Naruto, who's been making out with Kiba, getting railed and gnawed on by him, who Kiba has been unironically calling babe for two months now: "I'm your what?"

🐶 Pro gaslighter Kiba would be like "Huh? You mean you forgot we were dating? But Naruto, this was your idea!"

🐶 Kakashi would appear out of the mist to stop the manipulation. Like, hold on now. That's HIS pup first, you disgusting little degenerate mutt.

🐶 Naruto belatedly realizing that the last year has just been a steady build up for them getting together disguised as bromance because Kiba is an idiot and was unwilling to say it out loud or be honest: "Ohhhh! Does this mean you'll keep buying me ramen?"

🐶 Like baby, Kiba has been crawling into your bed at night, stealing your clothing, has spent hours worshipping your body, basically chases after your tail anytime you go anywhere, actively pants over you anytime you start to sweat during training, listens to everything you say, obeys your every whim, and is obsessed with everything you do. Yeah he's probably gonna buy you more ramen.

🐶 Kiba is the type to brag about how independent he is and how he's in charge and listens to no one but what Naruto says sit, he SITS
