ALPHA: Hi guys. Sorry about the late update but I did say that they would be random. I just want to say something first before we go on to the story. If there is anyone out there that knows a guest reviewer that uses the name 'g.o.d'(he/she defiantly does not deserve that inaccurate username) he/she sent me a review, which I promptly deleted, telling me to kill myself and that I was a 'virgin fag'. First, that was a horrible thing to say to someone. I mean, what would happen if I was really insecure and really killed myself? For all you haters out there, you should never say that to someone if you don't want to technically have blood on your hands. Secondly, the virgin thing; yes, I am a virgin. A 17 year old one at that, because I strongly believe in doing that with the one I love the most. Next, in the review, they stated that 'they are not gay'. I'm guessing that 'they' refers to the fact that I made Sasuke and Naruto a couple. Yes, I know that they are not gay but this is Fanfiction(notice the 'fiction' part) and it is my story, so what I do with it is nobodies decision but my own. Nobody is forcing you to read this story. If you don't like it, then stop reading and just leave. If you actually think that it's fun going around and bad mouthing peoples stories, you really need to get your head examined. Ok my rant has finally ended and I think I just lost all my readers with that authors note.
NARUTO: NO WAY! What that person said was cruel and uncalled for! And I think some people out there would agree with me.
ALPHA: *smiles at Naruto* Thanks Naruto. I can always count on you and Lee-kun to cheer me up. If Lee was here instead of training with Gai-senpai, I would be on cloud nine, but oh well. Could you do the disclaimer for us, please?
NARUTO: *smiles brightly and gives Alpha a thumbs up* Sure thing Alpha-chan! *turns to readers* AlphaGirl1711 does not own Naruto or any of its characters. She does, however, own Yaiba, Kai, Gali and Bato-sensei and any other oc's that appear in this story.

Chapter 4 – Building trust and Gali's plague!
(Bato's pov)
I looked over my students that where weeding a flower garden for a sickly old woman that was in the hospital. 'It has been a two weeks since Yaiba was put on our team, so Gali and Kai don't really trust him completely just yet, but that could easily be rectified.' I smiled to myself as I saw Yaiba pick up a few baskets and fly over to me, then after gathering empty ones, flew back to Gali and Kai and give them the empty ones. 'But first I have to figure a few things out about Yaiba's abilities and limitations.'
(3rd person pov)
Team 11 had just finished cleaning the house that they would have to look after until the old woman returned from the hospital when Bato took them out to their training grounds. The three young ninja looked up at Bato-sensei when he stopped and turned to face them with a smile. "What are we doing here sensei?" Yaiba was the one to speak this question and continued when his sensei didn't answer right away; "I thought that we had missions to complete." Bato-sensei chuckled, his smile growing wider. Bato-sensei ran a hand through his shoulder-length white hair with a sigh before looking at his students again. "Well, I thought that we could work on a few trust exercises for starters."
"Trust exercises?" All three of Bato's students said at the same time, confusion evident on their faces and in their voices. Bato-sensei nodded before pulling out a blindfold from his weapons pouch. "Yaiba, how much weight can you carry and how high can you carry it?" Yaiba raised an eyebrow at that before flapping his wings then going behind his sensei and grabbing him under his arms and with a hard beat of his wings, they shot up into the air at incredible speed and in less than two minutes, they where nothing more than a black speck in the sky to anyone looking.
Kai and Gali watched as the speck quickly got bigger and in a few seconds their eyes widened as it was their sensei but Yaiba was nowhere to be seen. "SENSEI!" They both shouted in horror; at the speed their sensei was travelling, he would die upon impacting the ground, but before he could hit, a blur of black and blue collided with him. Kai and Gali stared wide-eyed as Yaiba placed their sensei back on the ground safely. "Well, Yaiba you are faster than I thought." Bato said looking at the hovering dragon boy. "I just need to work on picking up moving targets. Right now the heaviest moving target that I can handle without stumbling mid-flight is a medium sized dog." Yaiba said and Bato-sensei nodded, making a mental note to help Yaiba with that at a later stage.
"W-what jus-just hap-happen-happened?" Gali managed to force out as he and Kai approached them. Yaiba cocked his head to the side as his feet gently touched the ground, his tail swishing slightly from side to side. "Why did you stutter, Gali?" Yaiba's slit pupils became more rounded than any of them had seen as Yaiba walked closer to Gali and leaned in close to the older, violet-haired boy. Yaiba's nose twitched slightly as he registered Gali's scent and his eyes located something strange in Gali's ear. Yaiba hummed in interest as he reached up to Gali's ear; completely disregarding Gali's uncomfortable blush and the odd stares his sensei and other teammate where giving him. His finger brushed on the object in the other boy's ear and he immediately knew what it was.
"A hearing aid?" Yaiba pulled back and saw that Gali had hearing aids in both of his ears. Yaiba stood still waiting for Gali to say something. When Gali remained silent Yaiba looked at his sensei "Explain." Bato sighed and motioned for them all to follow him. They all sat down on the ground with Bato sitting cross legged on a small bolder. "Ok, where to start?" Bato-sensei mumbled as he scratched his check. "Well, Yaiba, you know better than any one of us that everyone is different. Well the thing with Gali is that he was born completely deaf." Yaiba looked at Gali in shock as the older boy stared at his lap. Yaiba looked at his sensei again as a silent queue for him to continue. "It was only about four months ago that he had gone through a special surgery to implant a unique computer chip into his head that is wired to his brain. The chip registers sound waves and turns them into recognisable sounds with the help of those hearing aids. If Gali removes the aids he can't hear a thing and he still needs to use sign language to say curtain things but he is learning quickly. Gali graduated the academy as the first ever deaf ninja with his incredible ability to use his chakra to form an invisible dome around his body that he uses to basically feel when an enemy or weapon is coming at him and he can't hear them."
"I didn't wan-want to be a bur-burden." Gali mumbled out as his team looked at him. "I don't know who my par-parents are. A-aunt Mai s-said that she fou-found me out-outside Kon-Konoha's gates when I was three mon-months old with a note that had my name and bir-birth-birthday on it. She fou-found out that I was deaf when she took me to the hos-hospi-hospital for a che-check-up. She has ta-taken care of me ev-ever since." Gali looked up at them then, a certain fire blazing within. "I be-became a ninja to show her and ev-every-everyone in the vi-village that dou-doubted and pit-pitied me that I cou-could look after my-myself. I am going to show ever-everyone that any-anyone can do anyth-anything if they put their minds to it."
They all smiled at Gali's resilience and determination to follow his dream despite this obstacle. Yaiba sat up starter and smiled at Gali, "Gali, I admire your strength and dream. This world needs more people with such worthwhile goals." Yaiba stood up and held his hand out to Gali, "I swear that I; Yaiba Tatsu; as your teammate, will give my help and support to your dream, as well as Kai's and Bato-sensei's dreams, as long as I take breath." Gali stared slack-jawed up at the younger boy, before smiling and taking the offered hand. Kai stood up as well and placed her hand on top of Yaiba's and Gali's clasped ones; silently promising the same. All three young ninja looked at their sensei expectantly and Bato just chuckled before standing and placing his hand on top of the hands of his young students.
"Yo!"A voice called out at the opening to the training grounds catching team 11's attention as they dropped their hands and turned to see a silver haired Jonin wearing a mask approaching with a pink haired girl and a black haired boy with a blonde boy bouncing along behind the girl. "Kakashi-sensei? What are you doing here?"

ALPHA: Yay! My first attempt at a cliff hanger! Sorry that it's so short but I didn't know what else to do with it and I just wanted to get to the country of waves arc as soon as possible. That's where the real story begins! Ok a little warning about me updating. I probably wont update for a REALLY long time because of certain circumstances, but don't worry I'm not abandoning this story, it's just that I'm putting it and my other story on hiatus for a bit. Please don't hate me! *cries*
Alpha out!
Peeze~! ;p
