Rover (TLKOE) and Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto readied himself as he walked through the wrecked street, there were claw marks, bite marks, and drool everywhere. He was assigned a mission to deal with what the villagers described as a 'blue monster' and bring it back to the Hokage's office, Naruto wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't saw the state of the street. At first, Naruto thought this mission might have been just an exaggeration but Tsunade assigned him the mission or else he would have to take care of Bull for the whole week.

Something dashed behind him. Naruto turned around but saw nothing, he looked both left and right to make sure there was nothing before turning back around.

"Maybe this is probably one of the Inuzuka's dogs." Naruto said out loud, remembering how huge those dogs were. He had the misfortune on being forced to take care of them and was slobbered on as a result. He did think Bull was worse but-

Naruto screamed, his train of thought crashed down, as he was suddenly pounced from the side. On the ground and dazed, Naruto shook his head and glared at his opponent only to be filled with fear as he was staring face to face with a blue monster that growled down at him. The blond ninja shook his head, never show fear to the enemy! He glared right back at the monster, ignoring the sharp teeth dripping with drool.

To Naruto's confusion this blue monster's angry snarl turned into a panting grin with his tongue out before lowering it's head and dragging it's long, slobbery tongue across Naruto's face.

The blond ninja groaned in disgust as his face was coated with drool but because the monster pinned him down, he couldn't wipe his face.

"Ew! Gross! What'd you do that for?!"

With no warning, the monster gave Naruto another big lick. Then another and another. The big monster was licking him repeatedly. Naruto kept his mouth and eyes shut, this was worse then all those dogs with the Inuzaka clan. Even worse than Kakashi-sensei’s biggest hound, Bull.

Naruto tried turning his face but this monster thing was determined as it followed his head with the goal of soaking his face.

Naruto then felt woozy, he recognized that he was going to be kicked into unconsciousness. But thankfully the monster dog stopped, giving the blond a panting grin.

Naruto scowled up at him. His hair was soaked and his hair was pointing upward.

He turned on to his stomach, spitting out in disgust and wiping his face with the sleeve of his shirt.

A disgruntled Naruto kicked the Hokage’s door open and stomped in, the big blue monster that lolled its tongue out followed eagerly. The villagers laughed at his state before getting over the shock of the beast he captured.

“I found the monster.” Naruto grumbled. The big blue monster happily dragged its tongue over the side of Naruto’s face, causing his whispered cheek to roll and an eye to force shut. Naruto got even more annoyed as Tsunade laughed at him.

“Dumb dog!” Naruto scowled in the mirror of his bathroom as he tried to wipe off the sticky slobber from his face. This stuff was so hard to get out! At least he would never see that mutt again.

The doorbell to his apartment ringed. This confused the blond.

Who could be at his door?

He headed to the front door and was pounced upon, he was surrounded by blue fur as his back hit the floor. He looked up and was immediately annoyed to see the humongous fido again.

"What the! Get off of me you stupid mutt!" Naruto demanded.

"Now is that anyway to treat your new roommate?" Tsunade asked with a grin.

"What?" Naruto asked, thinking he misheard.

"Great news, since we don't know where this creature came from. He's staying with you." Tsunade said with a grin.

"WHAT?! Why do I have to take care of this thing?!" Naruto complained as Rover got off, allowing him to stand up.

"Because this thing, who we named Rover, acts like a dogs and dogs like you." Tsunade said.

She wasn't wrong.

The ninkens in the village seemed to take a liking to him and left him covered in drools, especially the huge ninkens that were big enough to ride.

Kiba had even planned pranks on him with the huge dogs in his clan. The blond would be training one day then he was suddenly he was pounced upon by a big brown dog and spluttering as he tried to avoid the drooling tongue assaulting his face while hearing Kiba's laughter.

"Why do I have to take care of this thing?" Naruto complained.

"You've always seemed lonely in your apartment, plus dogs make great companions and could improve your mood, and besides. it could teach you to be more responsible" Tsunade said she then handed him a bag. "Here's a bag of dog stuff to feed and bathe him. You've taken care of dogs in the past so you'll know what to do."

Before Naruto could say anything, Tsunade left leaving Naruto alone with Rover who was panting happily at him.

Naruto stared up at this creature, it was bigger than any ninken he's ever seen!

"Uh, Hiii Rover." Naruto said, nervously. He then dawned a serious expression and said, "Okay, first of all I'm in charge so-MMMMPPPPHHHH!"

Rover cut Naruto off by giving his face a big lick. The tongue dragged Naruto's face up, lifting him off the floor and making him scrunch up his face. When the tongue flicked off, Naruto was dropped back on to the floor and proceeded to furiously wipe his face.

"Hey!" Naruto protested but he was soon barreled over. All Naruto could feel was soft fur and the slobbery tongue that seemed determined to reach every inch of his face.

"Come on, boy! You're soaking me!" Naruto said, trying to conceal his laughter. Rover knew his new friend was being stubborn so he tried a different approach.

He turned around and lowered his head to Naruto's shoes, hurling them off with his teeth. Naruto was forced to scrunch up his face as Rover's massive tail kept beating down on his face. It didn't hurt but it was annoying. He flipped himself on to his stomach, but unknown to him he just made Rover's new goal easier.

The blond immediately became aware when he felt something long, rough, wet, and ticklish dragged up his barefoot.

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed at the ticklish tongue.

Rover barked in triumph, his new friend was enjoying himself! The monster dog then went on to the other foot, his new playmate kicked in protest but they weakly at his head.

After both feet were thoroughly drenched he got off and turned to stare at Naruto who was panting with a goofy smile.
