Chapter 10 || Scuffle

One year later

Ace dodged the knife aimed at her throat by a hair, the whir of air passing by tickling against her bare skin. If she had hesitated for even a second it would have made painful contact.

She rolled back onto the ground, placing her hands behind her head into the dirt and flipping her feet up, sending a full forced kick into the diaphragm of her opposition.

A sharp cough exited from his mouth, spit flying as the wind is forced from his lungs violently.

Without a second to think, Ace retreats, crouching dangerously to the ground, like a tiger stalking it's prey, her hands pressed lightly to the dirt to give her balance and her eyes zeroed in on the dumbass that decided she was a worthy opponent for his training session.

Kiba was doubled over, trying to catch his breath, struggling to take air back into his lungs.

"Take that Dog breath!" The loud voice of Aces peanut gallery shouts out, cheering for her as per usual.

Normally when Ace went out to train, she would do so alone, but the two boys accompanying her had been begging desperately for weeks.

In the year she had known these kids, they had really worn down her walls- Well, All it took was treating her to dinner really. But ever since that day, the lot had been thick as thieves. In particular, she had grown close to Naruto and Kiba, probably the two loudest of her classmates.

Akamaru was off to the side, yapping away happily, seeming to also be commentating alongside the blonde knucklehead. His usually white fur stained a pale brown with dust from the dirt patch the four of them were training in.

Their training session had started out with doing typical exercises alongside one another, but had quickly devolved into a bet of who could beat who.

"That was a solid one." Kiba wheezed out, shakily getting back into his fighting stance, a small jolt of worry crossing his face.

Ace felt a small smirk grace her lips, her feet twisting slightly in preparation. "You know the word, if it's too much for you." She speaks lightly before she takes off from her crouched position, lunging forward swiftly with her hands finding a kunai from the pocket tied tightly to her leg.

Ace had quickly risen to the top of the class alongside Sasuke in combat. She was strong to start with, but learning all of the academy stances and taijutsu techniques had given her even more of an edge.

Kiba hurries to deflect her attack, the clash of metal sounding through the open grounds. They were using dull practice knives, but the boy knew from experience how bad a hit from Ace hurt.

He hesitates for a moment, before a confident grin crosses his face "yeah, I know the word" he scoffs, "do you?"

With that, he kicks up a patch of loose dirt, aiming for Aces face. The dust creating a cloud, obscuring their vision.

A sharp whistle catches Aces ears before a solid furry impact hits her legs, knocking her over. Akamaru had joined in on the fight. A small scowl crossed Aces face, "Cheater" she objects, wiping the dust off her face and swiftly spinning around into her low animalistic stance once again.
