Kurama's eyes widened in the seal when he sensed it. There was something fishy going on.
Ashtha grinned as she kicked the blonde on his knee joint, forcing him to kneel. Their hands were still connected when eyes glowed purple again.
"God style: Evil Vacuum of Destruction."
Five consecutive magic circles raced from her hand and engulfed Naruto whole before he was blasted away. The magic circles rotated and created a void that seemed to pull in all directions. The blonde Uzumaki screamed as he was rocketed back, his cells felt as if they were on fire, his entire being was being pulled apart before the seal exploded, sending him bouncing off the waters.
A beam followed and near the brink of consciousness, he couldn't dodge.

John was flying in the air when he saw a golden being flying towards him. He caught the being in the air in hopes of stopping it but was dragged along.
John landed, swerving on the waters holding the golden being who was actually Naruto. If John was doubting it, he was convinced now, the nagging thought he denied; Naruto was a god in human disguise.
"John, I can't do it… She's too strong." Naruto lamented, bleeding.
He just couldn't kill another person he liked, another person he should have protected.
"If I gave it my all from the start, if I had just put an end to Ashirok before he became a real threat—I-I'm sorry John, I failed you. I wasn't giving my all! Damn it, what the fuck is wrong with me?" Naruto slapped himself before he punched the surface of the water.
Even now, he was holding back a great deal but this time around, he had a valid reason. He wanted to believe Martha was still alive. He didn't want to comprise the life of one for many because he believed all life was precious and equal. Because he was being Naive again, trying to protect everyone.
John listened to everything with a blank face. He didn't recognize the flaming individual anymore. Is this Naruto Uzumaki? He asked himself. He highly doubted it.
"Naruto, I messed up big time myself. I wanted power so bad I bargained with Harshblade, so consumed by the need for power, I made a deal that ultimately killed the one thing I wanted to protect the most." John fought back bitter tears as he spoke. "You are not the only failure here. I might as well have killed Martha myself. Even though she's gone, I really want to kill that bastard. I want Revenge Naruto! I want to avenge my sweet little sister who didn't deserve all of this!" He yelled in Naruto's face.
"Will you help me get revenge, Naruto?" He asked, tears streaming down his face.
Naruto looked at the hand John offered and let a ghost smile grace his face. "I might always seem to fail at protecting those precious to me but I never fail to avenge my loved ones." Naruto took John's hand and rose from his knees.
He never failed to avenge his loved ones.
"Together…"
"... Together."
"For Martha." Both adults smiled.
"Aww… Big bro, Naruto-nii, look at the both of you, so cute."Ashtha mocked with all six wings spread out. Both human adults went on guard instantly. "Two adults ganging up with hostile intentions to kill a lady… Mommy would be sad, Big brother."
"Don't you dare call out her name with that vile tongue of yours," John growled.
"You just called your baby sister's tongue vile."Ashtha feigned hurt.
"You are not my baby sister." The cop spat back.
"Finally, someone who understands Martha is dead; gone,"Ashtha thought.
"John, I'll take front, you support from the back," Naruto said, moving forward. "Lets kill this bitch once and for all."
"Come at me, boys!"she yelled, flapping her wings as she dove down at them.
Naruto dashed forward with two rasenshuriken. John followed behind him, Harshblade in a vice grip.
Naruto threw both Rasenshurikens at her. Ashtha dodged both Rasenshuriken as they detonated behind her. Naruto clapped his hand and summoned an earth dragon he rode on towards Ashtha. She pulled her Katana out and slashed down, creating a crescent wave of purple energy. Naruto held his arms out and split the beam with his bare hands. His hands turned mechanical and he fired off a rocket hand that took her by surprise. Smoke filled the air and John entered the fray in a deadly dance with Ashtha.
"Crescent Eraser."
"Dark Eraser."
Both techniques collided, canceling each other out.
Naruto observed the battle and thought the Crescent Eraser was much weaker than the Dark Eraser, yet it cancelled the powerful technique.
Time to test his theory.
Naruto bent his knees and leapt towards Ashtha. The policeman and demon were in a kenjutsu match with the demon gaining the upper hand before Ashtha saw the blonde out of the corner of her eye and kicked John away. She raised her sword and tried to cleave the blonde in two. Naruto grabbed her sword with a chakra-hand and struck her gut with aRaiton: Rasengan. The attack only seemed to scorch her stomach armor. The armor repaired itself but the main purpose was to render her immobile for a split second.
Naruto blitzed forward and slapped a seal on her, locking her in a vice grip for safety precaution as he screamed at John, "John, hit me with a Crescent Eraser now!"
Ashtha struggled against her restraints, trying to break free. "Do it now, John. Trust me!"
Kurama's tails swished in the seal as he watched what was going on with keen interest. The Bijū rose from the sewer and decided to contact the blonde when his 'field test' was over.
"Alright."John raised his sword up and purple energy bubbled to life. "Crescent…"He began, pulling his sword in his right hand to his left shoulder in such a way that he could fire a flat, horizontal Crescent Eraser. "... Eraser!"
John fired off a huge Crescent Eraser that engulfed both Naruto and Ashtha.
Naruto walked behind John, staring at the Crescent Eraser as it battled the magic circle Ashtha conjured to defend herself.
The beam cut through and made an impact with both blonde and Ashtha.
Poof.
"A clone?" John asked.
"Yes," Naruto replied. Five clones behind him.
Ashtha came out with a crescent mark on her hand. It bled for a moment before it healed.
"It looks like I was right,"Naruto mused.
Not only did that attack cut through her magic circle, but it also managed to injure her.
"John, how many of those can you manage?" he asked, referring to the Crescent Eraser he just used.
"As many as you want."
"Good. Cause I'm going to need a lot."
"Doton: Daichidōkaku."Three clones slammed their hands on the floor and solid ground rose out of the water.
