The Tale of Ashi Inuzuka

Her first real memory took place when she was two. It was one of the rare times her father was in the village, back from one of his long travels as a merchant. Ashi and her brother were laying on their father's chest, his long pale purple hair spread around his head, resting in their mother's lap.

She smiled as she hovered over them. It was a moment she cherished greatly. While her mother was loving and kind, it was one of her rare bright smiles. One that lit up a room, one of the features that her father said drew him to her.

Ashi greatly loved her family and would do anything for them. Anything to keep this for herself. That's why she decided that she would become a shinobi to even rival the first Hokage.
