Today began in Konoha, with Sakura and Ino arriving at Naruto’s apartment. Why would the pinkette and blonde be going up to the apartment, you ask?

Well, simply put, Naruto was out doing some early morning errands (no doubt shopping for some supplies), so it was the perfect time for the girls to come on over and pay a visit. More specifically, to visit and befriend a certain Great Dane that Naruto had gotten recently a couple weeks ago.

Once Ino unlocked the door to the apartment, the girls stepped inside and closed the door behind them. First thing they had to do was find Naruto’s pet and convince him to help them with their plan for today. So, they quietly started walking, not wanting to potentially startle the dog if he was asleep.

“Let’s see... If I were a dog that was bigger than a pony and living in an apartment, where would I be?” Sakura said, tapping her chin in thought.

"Maybe the kitchen," Ino said, snickering. "If this dog's anything like Naruto, that's where I'd look!"

"Good plan," Sakura replied. The two continued to creep into the house, looking around for any sign of Einstein. Each room they opened revealed nothing, but as they approached the kitchen and living room area, they could hear what sounded like snoring. Ino smirked at Sakura in triumph as her pink-haired friend nodded, the two of them slowly pushing the door open and revealing Einstein himself, the Great Dane curled up on Naruto's couch deep in sleep.

Now, they knew from watching Einstein pin Naruto to his recliner and licking the boy silly that the great was a considerably large dog. But from seeing the dog in person and so up close, they actually couldn’t help but be shocked from just how huge Einstein was, even by Great Dane standards! So much so in fact, that they were sure if the dog were standing on all fours, his head would be level with Shizune’s face.

The girls looked at each other, proceeding to then silently playing a game of ro-sham-bo. Unfortunately for the Sakura, she’d chosen scissors while Ino had chosen rock. The blonde girl silently shrugged her shoulders, making the brainy pinkette roll her eyes before she walked over to the dog and started to shake the dog. When nothing happened, Sakura then shook even harder, but still nothing. After then proceeding to just shake as hard as she could, still nothing!

With a look of annoyance forming on her face, she then walked over to Ino and whispered something into her ear. The Yamanaka heiress blinked for a moment before she grinned and said:

“Heh, if he’s anything like his owner, that oughta get him to wake up...”

A few minutes later, Einstein’s nostrils flared as a wave of warm air entered hIs big black nose. Without a second thought, even with his eyes closed he instinctively reached his head down and scarfed off something nice and delicious, the flavor of pork ramen greeting his big pink tongue; undoubtedly doing what could be described as ‘sleep eating’.

As soon as he’d devoured the last remnants of the noodles, Einstein’s peepers blinked open, his vision blurring for a couple of moments before he saw, standing in front of him while laying on the couch, two girls around his owner’s age; the pink one holding an empty bowl of ramen,

“Look who finally decided to stop being a log!” Ino laughed.

Einstein looked at the girls, his tail wagging and thumping the couch, right before he suddenly he sat himself up on the couch, all the while, he was simultaneously swinging his tongue down at Sakura’s face while she stood right in front of him. It landed on Sakura's face with a loud wet SPLAT!, completely engulfing Sakura's face all the way back to her ears before slowly dragging upward in a spray of drool. Sakura's head was thrown back as it slid up her face, stretching her large forehead out even larger than normal before slurping off in another spray, knocking the young kunoichi backwards as Ino laughed.

"Hahahahahaha! Wow, Sakura! I guess he really appreciated it!"

Einstein barked happily as he then suddenly hopped out of bed made his way towards Ino while she was distracted, not even realizing what he was doing until-

\*Smack\*

\*SLURP\*

Ino was now standing there, the skin of her right cheek being lifted up so much that her eye was being pushed shut, all the while, being kept in place, courtesy of Einstein planting two of his front paws on her shoulders. The upside of being a Great Dane as tall as Einstein, naturally, was that he needn’t even rear up to do this. As soon as the tongue slurped off of Ino’s cheek, Einstein licked her face again and again, pushing her back all the while, with each cheek being squished and lifted up by the tongue.

“We get it, you’re welcome, now c’mon, quit clowning around!” Ino said.

Thankfully, Sakura attempted to pull the Great Dane off of Ino. To an extent it worked, but only because Einstein turned his attention on Sakura, and gave her a big smooch on the left side of her face, the tongue not only squishing it and stretching her cheek out, but even causing the left half of her hair to slick up.

Sakura let Einstein give her cheek a couple of quick, small (but all same skin lifting) licks before she gently pressed against the dog’s nose.

“All right, that’s enough!” Sakura said with a chuckle as she scratched the sides of Einstein’s neck; “Anyway, we didn’t come here for some kisses from you... We came here more for something else...”

”Yeah... How would you like to help us do something fun?” Ino asked as she wiped some saliva off her cheeks; “It’ll be a special little surprise for your favorite boy.”

Einstein looked at the girls with curiosity, and at the same time eagerness, especially since they mentioned the word ‘fun’. When she saw him slide his front paws along the floor, his upper body leaning downwards and his tail wagging, Sakura knelt down in front of him, whispering in the Great Dane's ear. "You wanna go and surprise Naruto?"

At the sound of his owner's name, Einstein's eyes widened and his massive tongue flopped out again in a big doggy smile. Nodding eagerly, he raised himself up while simultaneously giving Sakura another giant chin-to-forehead lick, a loud slurping noise filling the apartment as Sakura was knocked onto her rump by the force of the slurp. "I guess that's a yes!" Sakura giggled.

Later, Naruto had eventually finished with his shopping, and arrived back at his apartment. He blinked in slight confusion when he didn’t hear his dog barking from inside his apartment.

”Huh, must be napping...” Naruto said as he unlocked his door and walked in. After he went into the kitchen, he was just starting to put the items he bought away when he heard a familiar voice:

”Hey Naruto, what’s up?”

The blonde boy nearly dropped the bags he was holding in his surprise, fighting the urge to yelp as he turned around to see-

“Ino?! I... How did you get into my apartment?!” Naruto asked, flabbergasted at seeing the Yamanaka heiress.

“I walked in through the front door...” Ino said to the boy with a cheeky grin; “Anyway, what’cha got there shortstuff?”

“T-they’re just some stuff I bought while I was out shopping...” Naruto said as he then put the rest of the bags on the counter.

”Ah, of course... Anyway, seeing as you’re here, I figure I should bring you with me... Sakura and I have a surprise for ya!” Ino said as she took Naruto by the wrist and starting walking/dragging the boy out of his apartment.

All the while, the boy was trying to process what was going on.

After a bit of walking, Ino had arrived at one of the training grounds, with Naruto in tow while holding him by the wrist. "Will you let go, already?!" Naruto said, trying to pull away from Ino. "Why are we here, anyway? What's the surprise?"

“Don’t get those gaudy orange pants of yours in a twist Naruto! Anyway...” Ino grinned as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder and directed him to his left.

Right in front of Naruto had to be quite possible one of the longest obstacle courses he’d personally seen!

“Sakura and I figured you could use something to help you train in your down time. And the best part is? Your dog gets to partake in it as well! We figured the big lug could use the exercise as well...” Ino said.

“Wait what?” Naruto raised an eyebrow at that.

While Naruto was trying to process what Ino had just said, the latter saw Sakura out of the corner of her eye. sitting on a tree and hidden amongst the leaves. The pinkette gave Ino a quick thumbs up before disappearing.

Ino formed an impish grin before looking at Naruto and got her arm off of the boy.

After about a few moments of silence, a loud, happy bark could be heard in from a considerable distance.

“Ooooh, sounds like Einstein caught your scent... Better start doing the obstacle course if you wanna avoid a bath!” Ino said, laughing as she watched Naruto immediately run toward the first part of the obstacle course, a series of ropes over a large patch of mud. Thankfully, Naruto had been training a lot on balancing lately, so doing this was child's play; to say nothing of the fact that Einstein couldn't cross the ropes either, and he was sure of this. He quickly finished that part, going onto the next obstacle, a series of various jumps over other obstacles like hurdles, logs, and other bits of debris.

As soon as he’d done that, Naruto looked back for a moment, a puzzled look on his face forming when he didn’t hear his dog barking in the distance.

He shrugged his shoulders, thinking that his headstart must’ve been a lot greater than he thought!

So of course he came to the third part of the obstacle course, a series of tires lined up in pairs .

“Shouldn’t prove too hard...” He muttered to himself as he immediately jogged over and ran through the course, making sure each foot went through the hole of each tire.

Just as he made it 2/3 of the way however? That was when this moment became the one where he heard the sound of a bark, and the sound of paws smacking against rubber.

Naruto turned his head to find a certain great dane happily rushing over to him. Those Long, albeit mud covered, legs easily allowed the dog to traverse through the tires than his owner.

”Einstein, stop, heel!” Naruto called out, only for him to momentarily misrepresented when tow hit the inside of one of the tires.

Yet, that was all Einstein needed to finally catch up, leaping towards his punier owner with his front paws stretched out.

As can be expected, the leap allowed Einstein the opportunity to get close enough to give his owner a lick to his right cheek while simultaneously planting his front paws against Naruto’s shoulders.

In the time it took for the tongue to slurp off of the boy’s cheek, the momentum from a Great Dane as big, heavy, and strong as Einstein leaping onto a boy as small as Naruto had sent the two tumbling away from the tires to the side and rolled down a hill. Grass was kicked up from the pair rolling down the hill, thanks to how fast they were going, with the only sound that could be heard faintly was boyish laughter.

The reason for Naruto’s laughter, obviously, was because he saw and FELT nothing but his dog’s tongue slapping and licking his face repeatedly as they rolled until-

\*SPLAT\*

They landed smack dab in a muddy pit near the hill, with Naruto flat on his back, unable to move his arms and legs thanks to his dog laying on top and completely pinning him down with his muscular body, Naruto’s head being pretty much the only thing that was capable of moving at the moment.

The impact didn't deter Einstein at all, though, and he continued to lick Naruto's face as the boy was pinned beneath him, his gigantic tongue slapping onto Naruto's face and enveloping it all the way back to his ears, stretching his face out, lifting his cheeks up, and coating him in drool as Ino and Sakura stood at the top of the hill, laughing at the scene.

”At least Naruto’s got Einstein to clean him up!” Sakura said, laughing to the point of leaning against Ino, who herself needed to wrap an arm around Sakura to keep from collapsing with laughter while she was recording the whole thing with a camera.

That laughter, however, was drowned out by a combination of the sound of Einstein’s tongue stretching his owner’s face and Naruto’s boyish giggling being muffled underneath his dog’s licking, unable to get his arms out from under his dog’s body to even attempt to try and keep the great dane’s face away from his own, much less scratch him behind the ears.

Of course, even if he could get his arms out, there was hardly much of a distance to push Einstein’s head away given that since Einstein was laying on top of him, Naruto’s face was currently within close range licking distance at all times. Each of Einstein's big, slobbery licks covered Naruto's entire face all the way back to his ears, slurping up his face and stretching his forehead out each time. Naruto's feet, the only other part of his body not pinned down by Einstein (likely to keep from smothering him), turned from side to side as the boy struggled underneath the Great Dane's great weight. Eventually, Naruto turned his head to the side to spit some saliva off his lips, only for Einstein's tongue to splat onto his whiskered cheek and drag upward, stretching Naruto's cheek up as well and pushing one of his eyes completely shut.

Much as he was crinkling his nose from the feeling of the massive, slobbery tongue stretching his whiskered cheek in a huge manner, the boy couldn’t help but grin boyishly as his dog gave him the kind of affection only a dog (one especially as big as Einstein at that) could give a boy as small as he was.

Einstein’s tongue eventually slurped all the way off his cheek, causing it to bounce considerably as a result.

“I love you too boy, but come on, I don’t need THIS kind of bath!” Naruto said with laughter lacing his voice.

Einstein disagreed however, smacking his tongue on the very bottom of his puny owner’s cheek, and proceeding to push the skin of it upwards again. This time, Naruto’s dog just wanted to take it a bit slower. Naruto grimaced in glee as the Great Dane's enormous tongue slowly dragged his cheek upward, before the dog maneuvered his paw to turn Naruto's head back upright, just in time to catch another massive chin-to-forehead lick that smothered his entire face.

As they listened to the slapping and slurping noises down below, Sakura looked up at Ino, smirking. "Well Ino, I'd say our job here is done, wouldn't you?"

”Yeah, I’d say I’ve got enough footage to last me a while...” Ino said with a chuckle as she stopped recording the scene and sealed it in a scroll; “Either way... We’re soooo gonna be able to never let him live it down!”

“Got that right~” The pinkette girl said, her smirk softening to that of an amused grin as she took a moment to watch the cute sight of Einstein ‘bond’ with his favorite blonde boy by comically stretch Naruto’s nose and cheeks up with that full face licks. Naruto, in the meantime, continued to struggle in vain against Einstein's affections. As the girls walked off, laughing, they could still hear the sounds of Einstein's slurpings, punctuated here and there by a futile call from Naruto for the licking to stop.

It wouldn't stop until hours later, with Naruto well and truly unconscious, his smiling face utterly soaked in drool as Einstein brought him back home, the Great Dane easily carrying him by using his jaws to dangle Naruto by the back of his jumpsuit’s collar.
