Kiba inuzuka
Kiba Inuzuka (犬塚キバ) is a fictional character from the manga and anime Naruto. Like Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba also really likes to talk about his great techniques in front of others, but he is also a boy with feelings, aware of others. Kiba is quite a special boy, he always wears a gray coat with black fur on the sleeves and collar, wearing a hat attached to the coat. He wears two red markings on his cheeks and is always accompanied by Akamaru, his dog and best friend. Kiba is personally a genius of animals, as he manages to transmute with Akamaru and make devastating techniques such as the Gatsuuga , which literally manages to split the unfortunate rival that faces him in two. His dog is very cunning -as much as a human, apparently- he can detect enemies from kilometers away but not by his sense of smell -although this also helps a lot- but by an ability that he developed to detect the enemy's chakra together with the amount he possesses and by so how strong it is. Kiba is part of one of the best formed teams and the other two members of him are Hinata Hyūga and Shino Aburame.
Family
The Inuzuka family consists of Kiba Hana (older sister) and Tsume Inuzuka (mother). Hana is a veterinarian and Tsume is a high-ranking Jōnin. Hana has three dogs in her service (known as the Haimaru Sankyodai; the literal translation of the name is The Three Haimaru Brothers; Hai is also the Japanese word for the color gray, which is also the color of the fur of these dogs), and his mother owns one named Kuromaru (black, with an eyepatch; Kuro is the Japanese word for the color black). The curious thing about this dog is that he talks; he is seen fighting alongside Tsume in the invasion of the Sand and Sound villages and the Akatsuki invasion. During the Pain and Konan invasion arc, Kiba states that she did get to know his father; but that his mother chased him away because of how scary he is.
Background
- It belongs to the Inuzuka Clan specialized in beast-like attacks, which use dogs as fighters.
- Kiba is a quite extroverted young man (perhaps more than Naruto himself) and in combat is a whole warrior, although he sometimes likes to stand out, he makes a good team with Shino and Hinata, one of the most balanced.
- The name of Kiba means "colmillo" (preferably those of a dog or the same kind of race).
- He was one of the three children who approached Naruto Uzumaki when he was a child besides Chouji and Shikamaru. They usually ran away from classes. This is why he treats Naruto as a friend of jokes and with all naturality.
- It has a sharp sense of smell that far exceeds that of the human being (according to Kurenai Kiba's olphate is 10,000 times more developed than normal), which is very useful to detect the enemies.
- Kiba has the ability to communicate with his dog Akamaru, his inseparable combat partner. Even the vast majority of its techniques include them both.
- In the preliminary fight of Chūnin, Kiba is facing a great fight against Naruto and although at first he was gaining easily, he loses ironically so on other occasions he is his most powerful weapon, his smell.
- Kiba is chosen to belong to the Sasuke rescue team and led by Shikamaru, in which Naruto, Chōji and Neji also participated. During the course of the mission he is faced with a great enemy (which end up being two great enemies, Sakon and Ukon). After a great fight Kiba is forced to escape after being wounded he and his dog Akamaru. His enemy finds him and puts him on the verge of death when he suddenly comes to his rescue Kankurō, now ally of Konoha and removes Sakon and Ukon.
- Kiba appears in many more episodes of filling together with his team and Naruto; as in the search for the Bikochu insect. In others where he works this time without Shino, and even an episode is dedicated to him and to Akamaru who has been infected with a virus; mostly he manages to successfully carry out his missions, but as in the Bikochu, he does not achieve it due to the clumsiness of Naruto.
Part Two: Shippuden
In Shippuden he has grown up just like his dog, Akamaru, and has become a Chunin. He and his companions meet Naruto again after he returned from the mission to rescue Gaara. Naruto asks if he would join his team for a mission, but Kiba tells him that he already has a mission with Team 8.
Temple of Fire
After Sora joins Naruto's team replacing Sai, Sora finds himself having a fight with Akamaru. When Kiba arrives, he angrily confronts Sora and when Choji arrives and is called fat by Sora, Kiba and he start a fight against Sora. Naruto joins the fight to calm down Kiba and Choji, with no results, so that the next moment Rock Lee joins the fight believing that they were just training. Asuma stops them all by giving them severe blows to the head.
The Arrival of the Three-Tailed Biju
Due to the tracking abilities of Kiba and his companions, Tsunade summons Team 8 led by Kakashi to find one of Orochimaru's secret bases. As the team approaches the place where Tsunade told them signs of Orochimaru were found, Kiba begins to remember his fight against Sakon and Ukon, to which Hinata and Kakashi retort if he is worried; to which he replies that it is the opposite, that now that Shikamaru and Naruto have shown his new abilities against Akatsuki, it is his turn to show his new powers.
When they reach the base, it immediately begins to collapse but thanks to Akamaru and his nose they manage to find a way out. Kiba and Akamaru start looking for survivors, but in the course of this, Kiba manages to hear a high frequency whistle, suspecting that the enemy also uses dogs since it is a whistle that normal people cannot hear; but in the end Kiba realizes that it is an ultrasonic wave used only by bats that were where they were and that now, quite possibly the enemy already knew of its existence and they are probably ambushed.
When the enemies come to attack them, Kiba decides to go after Nurari since he was the one who looked weaker compared to Kigiri and Rinji, but Kigiri uses his smoke screen that steals all of Kiba's senses, causing Nurari to hit. all his blows without any difficulty. Hinata tells him to leave because he can get hurt and she can see through her Byakugan. Feeling unable to help her, Kiba is able to disperse all that smoke thanks to continuous attacks from his Double Piercing Fang (Gatsuga) causing the enemy to flee when Shino and Kakashi arrive as well. Guren sets a trap for Team 8 by locking them in a giant crystal maze and attacking them with crystal clones, but Kiba is able to deal with several of his clones until Naruto and Team 7 arrive to help them. Kiba guides them to where Guren was but upon arrival, they are all attacked by a giant wave created by the Three Tails biju. Losing track of Guren and his team, they are all reorganized into new teams, Kiba being accommodated with Rock Lee and Tenten led by Yamato whose role was to stop anyone who wanted to interfere with the capture of the Three-Tails.
As all the teams are reorganized and assigned to their new tasks, Kiba explains to his team the abilities of all their opponents. When the enemy arrives, Tenten and Rock Lee begin to attack them without problems; and Kiba with his gatsuga and with Akamaru's dynamic mark are able to defeat Kiho, Nurari and Kigiri leaving them in a very critical state. This team is divided again and Kiba goes with Yamato to help Kakashi against Guren and capture the biju; but after a failed attempt to capture the beast and losing Naruto along the way, Kiba joins another search party to find Naruto.
Knowing that Naruto had been swallowed by the Three-Tailed Biju, Kiba is assigned to protect the area from enemies along with TenTen and Rock Lee; and facing a new surprise that Kiho, Nurari and Kigiri have returned with new powers, they are defeated but receive no serious injuries. Kiba manages to hide from the enemy by digging a hole where he and Akamaru are hiding, only suffering a small wound to his leg. Kiba decides to go to Kakashi to inform him about the enemy's new power, but on the way he meets Sai barely alive, who had also been attacked by these three enemies, so he helps him.
Kiba's team arrives where Kakashi and the others have already defeated Guren's subordinates but they still fail to capture the three-tailed biju. Tsunade gives them orders to return to the village to prepare a new strategy and that night, Kiba argues with Naruto for having inadvertently let Yukimaru go but knowing that he was fine and with Guren, they return to the village, succeeding in the mission to find Orochimaru's base, but failing in the mission to capture this Biju.
Itachi's Pursuit
Kakashi formed an 8-person squad made up of Team 7 and 8 whose mission is to find Itachi so they can get to Sasuke. Along the way, instead of finding Itachi, Kiba is able to pick up Sasuke's scent, something even the ninja hounds weren't able to do; allowing the 8-member squad to go after Sasuke. Seeing this, Kakashi congratulates Kiba and even says that the entire Inuzuka clan should be proud of him because his senses, and even his sense of smell, have evolved incredibly and are better than any ninja search dog. However, on the way they meet Tobi from Akatsuki. Their battle begins, but neither is able to land an accurate hit. Naruto fails with his rasengan, Shino also fails with his secret technique Insect Sphere, and Tobi thanks to his time/space jutsu vanishes which disturbs everyone since Shino's insects should have followed him wherever he went; not even Hinata's Byakugan is able to see it. Kiba is the only one who senses his trace and attacks him by surprise, unfortunately also failing with his attack like everyone else, although allowing part of his Sharingan to be exposed to Kakashi. he appears and when he says that Itachi is dead, the mission is left as failed by failing to reach Sasuke before Zetsu and Tobi.
Invasion of Konoha
At the invasion of Konoha, Kiba watches the devastation along with Hinata, Shino, and Ino. He and his mother Tsume face off against one of Pain's bodies (from the realm of hungry ghosts), making him go back thanks to their hand-to-hand combat techniques (taijutsu); which for that body of Pain was his greatest weakness; but this is immediately invoked to perform the shinra tensei thus avoiding the fight. Tsume says that she ran away from her force and that she was afraid of him; to which Kiba replies that it was the same case with her father. After the Shinra Tensei Kiba is found injured in the rubble but alive and his mother tells him to wait there while help arrives. Then we see Katsuyu with Kiba again telling him that Naruto fights Pain alone, and Kiba responding that now they can only have faith in him, showing that he is better. Later, when Naruto wins the fight against Pain and returns to the Village victorious, he is one of many who go to congratulate him.
The Meeting of the Five Kages
Not long after, Kiba runs to Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi to tell them that Tsunade has been removed from her position as Hokage and Danzo has taken her position as the Sixth Hokage. Kiba also informs them that Danzo has declared Sasuke a rogue ninja and has given the order for him to be captured, dead or alive. As the Kage meeting proceeds, Naruto's generation gathers to discuss the matter of Sasuke, Kiba finds that he has already changed and seems willing to try to stop him.
At Sai's request, Kiba accompanies him along with Sakura and Rock Lee in search of Naruto. His job is to find Naruto in the Land of Iron but also to sniff out and make sure that no other member of the Anbu Root or any other enemy is following them.
