Two and a half years after she left the Leaf Village, we find Ashley hot on the trail of the Akatsuki. Ordered to gather as much information as she can, Ashley abandoned her training in her homeland, the Land of Ambience, to pursue the members of the criminal organization. When she finally returns home, her friends are over joyed to see her again, Kiba especially. Back together again, Ashley and Kiba are happy to continue where they left off. But what will happen when one terrible decision tears them apart again? Will they be able to make it through? Will Ashley's friends ever understand her reason for leaving them again? More importantly, is the darkness in her heart, courtesy of Hakuba the Ten Tailed Wolf, real? Does Ashley truly wish to join the other side and leave everyone she ever cared about behind? And how will she react, when the Ninja World is on the verge of the biggest War in history?

****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.

Sequel to ~Naruto Fanfic~ What is wrong with these freaks from Hell *cough* I mean Konoha. I DON'T OWN NARUTO. Okay my name's Himura Akemi. I have this small, tiny, itsy-bitsy, little problem. I can't seem to remember my past. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada, from about age 13 and down. Sucks right? Well I thought so too, so for the past year and a half, I've been traveling around the 5 Great Shinobi Nations trying to gather my memories back. I've picked up some interesting people and got most of my memories back. I'm still missing a gap though. At my last stop Tazuna, a drunk friend of mine, insisted I head off to somewhere called Konoha after I told him about my problem. He literally shoved me and my friends out of his village, forced a baby goat onto me as a good bye gift, and threatened to not let me visit the village anymore until I had all of my memories. Rude much. I guess I should go to this Konoha place to see if any of my missing memories are there. Whether or not it has any of my old memories, one things for sure though. Konoha will never know what hit it. ***Lol canon is being discarded and this story is still as cringy as the first one. Have fun reading it though if it suits your fancy***

Himura Akemi was training to be a priestess. At least she was before her entire village plus her family decided to give her the boot at age 7. She then becomes a nomad wandering around the 5 Great Shinobi Nations. She's met lots of interesting people and learned a lot of skills. But because of her secluded village and her moving around so much she has no idea what a ninja is or that they exist. So when some Konaha ninjas finds her after a bad encounter with some people and force her into becoming a resident ninja of Konaha. What is Akemi going to do? She's going to wreak havoc of course. ***Be warned that I wrote this in middle school and it's full of overused anime tropes and has a Mary Sue protagonist, but it has it randomly funny moments. Enjoy my burning trash fire of fanfiction***
