(I need some ideas for jutsus, please give the name and what you think they should do to me in reviews. NO TAKING THEM FROM THE AUTHORS WHO CREATED THEM! )
Naruto, Ashley, and Sakura walking down the street after leaving Ino at the flower shop…
"Okay Naruto, I know you were lying about the help. So what do you really want?" Sakura said blatantly.
"He wanted to get help for me; I don't know why he said it was for him." Ashley stated, with hands behind her head trying to look at the sky while walking.
"I still haven't gotten the academy basic jutsus down, so the offer was to help me too." Naruto replied.
"Before I do anything, I want the full story behind this." Sakura demanded.
"Why not tell her?" Ashley said. She then explained all the important details, leaving out her ears as part of the information.
At one of the training ground…
In three hours, Ashley learned shuriken throwing, replacement jutsu, transformation jutsu, some chakra control, and that Naruto has no chance with Sakura. Naruto learned that Sakura has no respect for him and is told that he is loser once every ten minutes. "Why… can't… either… of us… get… the clone… jutsu?" Naruto panted to Ashley.
Ashley, who looked like she had barely broken a sweat, replied, "You just have no clue on how to control you're chakra; I, on the other hand, have run out of chakra… I think."
"Then why haven't you collapsed from chakra exhaustion?" Sakura asked.
"What do you mean by collapse from chakra exhaustion?" Ashley said, while looking at the pink-haired kunoichi as if she had two heads.
"When a person runs low on chakra, they reach a state known as chakra exhaustion." Sakura went into what Ashley calls the ranting teacher. "While in this state, a person becomes extremely tired or just collapses. Depending on the amount of chakra lost is how serious it is. It ranges from dizziness to death."
"Okaaay, it looks like it is getting late. Sakura you should go back to you're house." Naruto said, catching his breath while Sakura was ranting. After a good-bye from Sakura, Ashley popped Naruto a question.
"When should you get going to see you're folks?"
"My folks are most likely dead, because I have never seen them once and remembered it." Naruto replied with a fake smile. He had no clue that Ashley could see that smile was fake. Naruto interrupted her train of thought when asked if they should continue training; but before they could continue, a silver-haired man that Naruto referred to as Mizuki, came up to them.
"I heard of how you have troubles with clone jutsus, and if you bring me a specific scroll from the hokage's office I can tell what you are doing wrong." Mizuki said in an 'I-am-only-trying-to-help' tone of voice. Naruto quickly agreed, and Ashley, who was cynical about the man; also agreed. He then told them to meet him in the forest at the far side of town when they got it.
After raiding the office…
"He has something else planned, you know. But what is it?" Ashley said.
"You worry too much." Naruto replied with a smirk on.
"I believe that I worry just enough to not die." She replied, her face told that she was mostly kidding.
After a light laugh Naruto replied, "If you want out, you can leave. I won't hold it against you."
"I started this, and I plan on finishing what I started."
In the forest…
"How much fucking longer are we going to be waiting here? We have already been here long enough for you and me to master that solidified shadow clone jutsu." Ashley complained.
"How old are you anyway? You look like your nine, but you talk like you're almost an adult."
"I'm ten; and for why I talk like this, it just seems natural."
"What else are you willing to tell me?" Naruto inquired.
"Trust is something hard to earn, but it is easily broken. If you want information, you will gain it with my trust." Ashley replied.
"Well you won't have enough time to create a trust bond between you and the demon." A voice rang through the glade they were in.
"Mizuki is finally here Ashley." Naruto said. He then looked at the girl and saw her expression. She was cautiously searching the area from where she was standing, with a look of rage, surprise, and an 'I-knew-this-would-happen' look on her face.
"Naruto, think of what he just said." He then saw her reach for the hilt of the sword with no sheath. "If you haven't figured it out, he wants to kill both of us."
"Very perceptive of you, little girl. Now hand over the scroll and die quietly." The silver-haired chunin demanded.
"Don't hand the forbidden scroll over to him you guys." Iruka then appeared, panting. "That scroll contains forbidden jutsus." At those words, Naruto scooped up the scroll and held it tightly.
"Give the scroll up demon-fox brat. The reason the entire village hates you is that you seal the nine-tailed fox, in which most people think that makes you the fox. We were all told to keep it a secret just because the third said so." Mizuki stated. He then removed one of the huge shuriken from his back. "Now die demon."
Mizuki threw the shuriken toward Naruto. Iruka tackled him in an attempt to save him, and then waited for the blow to hit his back. Naruto winced in pain when he was tackled by his teacher, but then he heard the sound of something deforming metal. What he and Iruka saw was a sight they wouldn't soon forget.
Ashley stood in front of both of them slicing through the shuriken with what seemed to be her nails. The shuriken then turned into harmless scraps as she pulled her arm down to the ground. While she got up, she untucked her ears from under her hair. She then stared at Mizuki with a look that he could not even describe. "Naruto is called a demon, just because he has one sealed in side of him? It is to laugh about." She then raised her arm and positioned it as if it were holding a ball. Then everyone in the glade heard the crack her fingers made just by moving them slightly. "If that is this village's reaction to a demon sealed within a boy, I wonder how they would respond to me. After all, I am a quarter-demon."
At that, some things started to make sense to Naruto, as to why she tucked her ears down and why she didn't talk about it. Iruka was shock at what the girl had done all together. Mizuki was afraid for his life. Ashley just stood there enjoying the moment. Mizuki then threw the remaining shuriken at her at speed in which she could only react to by lifting her arm. It hit the arm dead on. But the girl was unfazed.
She proceeded to dislodge the shuriken. After it was removed, everyone thought 'What the hell is she doing?' as she put her nails into the open wound and covered them with blood. "Now face the 'Blades of Blood'." After this, she swung her arm with bloodied hand in several in several directions. The result was something no one but Ashley could expect. The blood flew off and actually cut Mizuki deeply in the arms and legs. The rest cut his surroundings.
"Do you see the power of just a quarter-demon? I can confirm that Naruto is not a demon or even related to one just by spending a day with. People like you should not deserve to live." Ashley said.
"Then kill me." Mizuki snarled. He couldn't run away due to the injuries he had received.
"I think this village could come up with something better than killing." Iruka had finally gotten up. He proceeded to pull out a wire. "Mizuki, you are going back as a treasoner."
