"Well you two are doing better at least," Rigi says as the duo kept training.

Naruto pants as her and Sasuke rest up a bit. "That's because it's been non-stop training for us. We can't give up."

"So you two think you are ready for a patrol?" Rigi asks.

"Yes sir," they both said, looking up at him.

"Well alright. You will be going with Asherah as his patrol starts soon," Rigi informs.

"Got it," Sasuke says as they catch their breath.

"Report to the guard post. You will need armor and weapons," Rigi instructs.

"Sure," Naruto groans as her and Sasuke walk to the post.

"Master, are you sure they will be alright?" Sophie asks.

"Yeah, but they will either get their asses kicked or see how much they are behind Asherah," Rigi says.

Sophie hums. "So…what now?"

Rigi only grabs her collar and drags her back into the house.

"Ok. Here is some leather armor," the quartermaster says giving them the armor.

Naruto raises an eyebrow as she looks over the torso leather coverings before putting it on and tying it while Sasuke does the same.

"And for armaments," the quartermaster brings out two swords and kite shields.

Sasuke looks over the shield and takes the sword before taking the shield and looks it over.

"That is all we have for you both," The mare says.

"It's fine," Naruto says taking her sword and takes a swing.

"Also, any of them are destroyed or lost, it comes out of your pay," the mare adds.

"Good to know," Sasuke says frowning.

"Come on. We have to get to Asherah before he leaves," Naruto says sheathing the sword and holds the kite shield on her left arm.

Sasuke sighs as she takes the sword on her left hand and holds the shield on her right. "Let's go," she says walking out with her.

'So what are the chances they will make it back?" one of the guards asks.

"Very low," another says.

"Should we prepare a rescue party to go save them when they are captured to be sex slaves?" another guard asks.

"Maybe. They are being watched over by the elemental ponies," one says.

Asherah starts walking out the gate like usual when he hears something.

"Hey. Let us join," Naruto calls as she runs up with Sasuke following behind.

Asherah looks behind him, seeing them. "What are you doing?"

"Going to help on patrol. We trained enough," Naruto tries to say.

Asherah stares at them for a bit before asking. "Why?"

"Because we want to do something…and in case we run out of money," Naruto explains.

"Very well," Asherah says starting to walk off.

"Come on. Don't want to be left behind," Naruto says as Sasuke just keeps walking with Naruto jogging a bit.

The three start walking on the patrol as Naruto and Sasuke kept looking around, watching for anything.

"So…what's the biggest problem here?" Naruto voices.

"Monsters in general," Asherah informs.

"But anything special?" Naruto asks as Sasuke kept a good lookout.

"No," Asherah informs.

"Well then this will be simple," Naruto says smiling as she looks around again.

The patrol went on for a few hours until Asherah suddenly stopped, making Naruto run into him.

"Hey. What's the big idea?" Naruto complains.

"Something set up a trap," Asherah informs as Naruto had yet to get off him.

Naruto pushes herself off and looks ahead of them. "That's…weird…" she says, seeing some ropes tied around the trees.

"Who wants to try and take out what did this?" Asherah asks.

"I do," Sasuke says watching for more ropes.

Asherah carefully moves over the ropes, not letting himself touch them as he kept passing over and under the many ropes spread around the dense trees as Naruto and Sasuke try to follow through the maze of ropes before they go through some bushes and then duck as they see lizard-like goblin sized creatures, some carrying spears and swords, rags and proper armor, all looking like the imps of the area, but more green and organized.

"Kobolts," Asherah whispers to the two.

"How do we kill them?" Sasuke asks, lifting her sword a bit.

"Just like a human, only a little shorter. Now you want to do this job, go out there and do it," Asherah instructs.

Naruto sighs as she looks to Sasuke and they nod as they separate and go around the clearing for where the kobolds are.

Asherah stays behind as he watches both of the girls move closer and frowns as he sees one of the kobolds move closer to Naruto before she grabs it and pulls it into the bush, stabbing her sword into its throat. 'Points for the takedown with none of them noticing,' Asherah thinks.

Sasuke takes her chance and does the same to another, this time, a heavily armored one, making a small clattering sound before stabbing it into the throat too as the nearby ones look toward the sound before shaking their heads and keep doing what they were doing.

Soon many of them were now gone and the Kobolds were on alert, growling and sniffing around and then lifts their heads before turning them towards where the both of them were hiding in the bushes. Naruto and Sasuke caught off guard by this, do their best to hold the off and were doing well at the start but as more and more showed up from the forest and then started to surround them and soon were being overwhelmed.

Asherah sighs as he watches them both try to hold up against more than one armored fighters while some of the ragged ones with spears were stabbing them in the armor. Deciding this is enough, he shakes his head and gets up, showing himself as he takes out a sword and slices off a head from one passing by, getting their attention.

Sasuke grunts as she pushes the two in front of her away and was able to stab one into the neck as a ragged one was able to get through her leather armor and break her skin, making Sasuke groan in pain and slice her sword across its neck, making it gurgle in blood and fall dead.

Naruto knocks a few swords away and was able to slice two heads, one a ragged one and another an armored one. She then stabs her sword into the chest of another ragged one nearby before a body flew across her vision, making her view follow where it came from to see Asherah fighting as well, though more calmly and not as much effort as they are.

Ashera cut through them like paper and then suddenly dodges in time for a kobold to be hit by a fireball.

They all look to see a kobold wearing more leather armor and a helmet with a robe while holding a spear with something hanging from it that looks like a small skull, a bright pink ball in its other hand, looking ready to throw.

The shamen quickly throws the ball at them as Asherah was able to stab him in the chest afterward and then looks to see the ball land on the ground between all of them, making it pop and spread out a pink tinted fog around the area quickly, Asherah quickly tightening his bandanna to not breath it in as he keeps fighting as the shaman teleported away to hide and heal its wound.

Naruto groans as she stabs another creature as the fog washes over both her and Sasuke, starting to make them lightheaded as Naruto looks to the kobold and the ragged ones making arcane gestures at her, making her feel hot and bothered as they all close into both her and Sasuke.

Asherah kept chopping away as many as he can, walking through the fog toward Sasuke. Asherah keeps knocking some away into others, intent on buying time as he reaches Sasuke, grabbing her collar and hoisted her over his shoulder as he fights through to Naruto as the kobold start to grab her, only to be killed or knocked away. Asherah huffs as he quickly puts his sword away and grabs her over his shoulder and runs out of the clearing, some of the kobold chasings after them.

Rigi sighs as he steps out of the home and into the backyard, leaving Sophie on the table, almost catatonic as she had her legs spread, showing the mess of cum all over her. "Oy. Wolf girl," Rigi says smiling as he walks up to the timberwolf girl who was gardening and makes her look to him. "It's your turn," Rigi says smirking as he grabs her collar before looking toward the forest. "Get inside," he says, shoving her toward the house as he walks into the forest.

The wolf girl complies, holding a plant she was about to plant in the garden.

Rigi growls silently as he stalks through the forest and sees Asherah running toward him. "How many?" he asks, pushing his cloak off onto the ground.

"Hold them. I will be back in a moment," Asherah instructs.

Rigi huffs as he runs past and noticed he was carrying Sasuke and Naruto over his shoulders as he takes out his sword and looks to see kobolds coming toward him. One of the ragged ones run up and tries to stab him, but stepping aside made it glance off his scales and allows Rigi to chop off its head. "Okay. This will be good meat for me," he says, charging into the fray.

"Now time to end them," Asherah says setting them down before moving incredibly fast, sending rows of heads flying every second.

Naruto groans as she opens her eyes and sees both Asherah and Rigi fighting the many kobolds coming at them, sending body parts everywhere. "Sasuke…?"

"I'm watching everything," Sasuke says as Rigi started backing up a bit, letting Asherah funnel them to him.

Rigi chuckles as he takes a swing and takes down four and the stops and quickly reverses direction and slices down two more. "This should be the last of them!" Rigi calls to Asherah.

"Now it is," Asherah says stabbing the shaman through the throat from behind.

Rigi grabs one by the head and throws it behind him, making it slam into a tree and breaks it neck. "What did they hit the girls with?" he asks, slicing up more.

"Some sort of gas and maybe a magic spell," Asherah says as the shaman futility grasp the sword blade sticking out of the front of his throat.

"Well then, it's a good thing we know someone who can handle that," Rigi says chuckling as he lifts one up and takes his claws out, slicing up the neck and throws it into the rest, sending them down.

"They need more training," Asherah says before stopping, seeing a new group of the creatures coming at them. "I will deal with these annoyances," Asherah says as an aura started to show on him before ice shards start to form and launch themselves at the coming group.

The kobolds are screamed as they all got pierced and stabbed with the ice shards, sending them down or stabbed against a tree trunk, all dead.

"That is all of them. I am heading back out on the patrol and disarm their traps," Asherah informs, retrieving his sword from the dead shaman.

Rigi nods. "I'll take the girls back," he says sheathing his sword and putting his cloak back on as he goes to the girls and picks them up and carries them back to town as Asherah goes back into the forest.

"Well…good news is no permanent damage. Which means you still have your good looks," Rigi says as the timberwolf girl works on fixing the girl's wounds. "By the way, your name is Hovy," he says patting the timberwolf girl's head. "Finally came up with a damn name."

"Did you know he could do that?" Naruto asks.

"Nope. I didn't know he could do any form of magic. That was a surprise," Rigi says shrugging.

"Naruto," Sasuke says.

"Yeah, I know," Naruto responds.

Rigi hums. "So…what are you two going to do now?"

"We lost that fight," Naruto says disappointedly.

Rigi shakes his head. "Seems to me you have been slacking. You know what that means?" he asks smirking.

"We need to get better?" Sasuke asks.

Rigi chuckles. "Oh yeah. So be ready for an early wake up by tomorrow. I got an alarm clock all set for you," he says walking away.

Naruto snores loudly as she turns over while Sophie has her face next to Naruto's bed. Sophie then takes a big breath and squawks loudly, making Naruto yell and jump up. "Master wants you and the other to come downstairs," she says before leaving.

Naruto groans as she rubbed her head and heads into her bathroom to take a shower, hearing another squawk not long after.

"Will you still not teach us Asherah?" Sasuke asks as Naruto comes down the stairs.

"What took you?" Rigi asks.

"I have more hair to wash than Sasuke," Naruto replies, pushing out her hair, showing it was very lustrous and healthy.

"I don't think looks will count when facing sex-crazed demons…there are some that prefer you being disgusting for some reason. I just kill those and don't touch them," Rigi says to the side.

"That is her friend Rarity's influence. She wants to make sure Naruto takes care of herself properly," Sasuke informs.

Rigi hums and gets up from the couch and moved into the kitchen where they are all sitting down now. "Well…you guys want to learn his magic tricks?" he asks, opening and looking into the food filled fridge as both Sophie and Hovy were cooking.

"Come on Asherah. We have made a lot of progress in the last month," Naruto says, taking a seat.

"On my terms. Not his. And it's probably a big reason," Rigi says before leaning over to Asherah. "If taught, it can kill them, right?"

"You really want to take the risk?" Asherah asks.

"Yes," both Sasuke and Naruto says at the same time.

"To learn nen, you need to have it. From what Twilight has told me, you had something similar called chakra, but unlike it, nen can be learned at any age," Asherah informs.

"Then teach us," Naruto demands.

"For you to receive nen, you take nen infused hit and then suffer through the pain of your body adapting and starting to produce it's own," Asherah informs.

"You can't and you die, right?" Rigi asks, digging in the fridge.

"That is if you can even survive the hit from me," Asherah says seriously.

Naruto gulped as Sasuke looks more determined to do it. "Hit me," Sasuke says.

"Twilight, you heard it. I want you as the witness in case they don't survive," Asherah says looking to the next room.

Twilight peeks around a corner. "Um…sure," she says, taking out a quill and paper by magic, intending to watch it.

"Out back, both of you," Asherah says getting up.

Naruto and Sasuke get up and follows, heading out in the back where a plentiful garden was growing all around the fenced area, a fence marked with runes, courtesy of Twilight. "So…how do we take the hit?" Naruto asks.

"Stand there and prepare yourselves," Asherah says as a clear aura stand to surround his fist. "Just so you know, I can't hold back too much or the nen won't take hold in your bodies and will just exit it," Asherah informs as they could all sense the power coming from him.

"This will be good," Rigi says, leaning against the doorway drinking a soda as Twilight watched beside him.

"Sasuke, brace yourself and try not to die," Asherah says before disappearing from sight and reappearing in front of her, making her eyes grow large before being hit in the gut a millisecond later.

Sasuke flies back and lands onto her back as Asherah disappeared and reappears in front of Naruto and hits her in the gut too, making her fly back and hit the ground as they both start to writhe in pain. "How long?" Rigi asks as they watch them.

"Hours to a few days," Asherah says taking a seat. "You're taking a twenty-four-hour shift this time," Asherah informs.

"No problem here. I got bored a bit staying here," Rigi says smiling as he takes a chug and leaves. "See ya in twenty-four hours man."

"What are you going to do?" Twilight asks.

"Going to stay here and watch over them," Asherah informs.

"The whole time?" Twilight asks a bit worried.

"Yes," Asherah says.

'You have faith in them,' Twilight thinks smiling as she watches at the two writhe in agony.

After five hours of writhing in pain, Sasuke and Naruto felt different.

"Sasuke…?" Naruto groans as she sits up.

"You feel it?" Sasuke asks as both were developed in a clear aura.

"Yeah. Wonder what we can do with it," Naruto says smiling a bit.

"That was faster than I expected," Asherah says getting up.

"We have been through an energy like this before," Sasuke says as they stand up.

"But this is far more intense," Naruto points out.

"So what now?" Sasuke asks.

"Now I will explain nen to you," Asherah says, motioning them inside where there were four cups of water with a leaf on top in each.

"What are these for?" Naruto asks.

"They are to test your type. Now Nen is also known as mind force. It is a technique that allows a living being to use and manipulate their own life energy. Now for each individual, there are six categories your special ability falls under. Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Manipulation, Emission, and Specialization. Now to test what you are, come over her and place your hands around a cup of water and focus it there. I will tell you more about it when I know what you are," Asherah informs.

Both Sasuke and Naruto looks to each other before they take a cup of water and places their hands around it, trying to focus their nen like they did with chakra as best they know how.

Soon Naruto's cup starts to overflow and Sasuke's showed no signs of changes, confusing her. "Sasuke, take a taste of the water," Asherah instructs.

Sasuke blinks and takes the cup in her hand takes a sip before spitting it out quickly. "Horrible," she says, wiping her mouth.

"Did the taste change?" Asherah asks.

"Damn right it did," Sasuke says, stopping spitting out the water.

"I see. Naruto, you're an enhancer. That means your special power is either strengthen yourself or an object. Sasuke, you are a transmuter. Your special ability will allow you to manipulate your aura into something else and use it. Now switch forms and try it again," Asherah instructs.

They change into their newer forms as so and then start to do it again, only impurities started to show in Naruto's this time and Sasuke's overflowed. "I see. Naruto, in that form, you are a conjurer. Your special ability allows you to create things from your aura and Sasuke, in that form, you are an enhancer," Asherah informs.

"Cool," Naruto says messing with the water and sees if she can make it go down.

"Now prepare yourselves for a lecture. Also, afterward, go get yourselves cleaned up in the shower. You still have dried blood on your faces," Asherah informs.

"Naruto, where were you this morning I expected you hours ago," Rarity says as Naruto stood there as a model for Rarity to make a dress on.

"I'm sorry mistress. But I had to keep training and now I have something else to train with. It kinda ran long, though. I'm a very sorry mistress," Naruto apologizes.

"What kind of training and if you say Rigi is making you do sexual things, so help me, he will never move again," Rarity says growling as she worked.

"No mistress. He isn't. I am training under both of them now," Naruto says, looking to her calming down now.

"Really, you got Asherah to help you?" Rarity asks a bit amused before Naruto tells her what the beginning she had to endure. "My, I have heard about some style requiring such risk, but I never thought I would encounter one," Rarity says before feeling up Naruto's flank. "You know, I didn't like this form as much as your first, but the braided hair and this smaller flank have grown on me."

Naruto smiles a bit as she blushes. "T…thank you mistress."

"So to make it up to me we will have some fun after our training session today," Rarity informs finishing.

"Of course mistress," Naruto says, a bit eager for their training and time.

"Sophie, how are they doing?" Rigi asks as Naruto and Sasuke sparred against her.

"Fine…master…" Sophie says, striking the two away and quickly flies behind them and slices them across the back.

"Any improvement from day one?" Rigi asks turning the page of the newspaper.

"Very," Sophie says before being knocked back and down onto the ground near him. "Very good," she groans.

"Good. Alright you two, that is enough. Twilight wanted to see you both," Rigi calls.

"Sure," Naruto says walking away with Sasuke.

"Master, you think this time they will turn back into males?" Sophie asks walking up.

"Oh, you grown attached to them as women?" Rigi asks smirking.

Sophie nervously scratches at her wings. "Yes, master. I don't want to lose that."

"Well, I can't say. I don't know about this magic or it's properties so a coin flip I would wager," Rigi says.
