The one infront was a large muscular man, his skin had a bronze tinge to it, gold hair rolled down his back in waves of spikes. "I'm Captain Zealot of the New Saiyan Pirate empire. I am Half Saiyan and half Titan."

"I'm Alfala, a pure bred Saiyan. And renowned Saiyan hunter." She said as she raised her hand, ki swirling around her hand before blasting a hole in Zealot's chest. He fell to the ground dead.

Before his lackies could react Alfala was on them, the shark like Saiyan she kicked in the head slamming the back of his skull on the metal wall, his face destroyed and blue blood coating the wall.

The blue skinned twins rushed her, but she rounded on the left most one, her fist passing through his chest holding a heart that she crushed. Swiftly she spun avoiding the last one's attack, she got behind him, and wrapped a arm around his neck before twist back on it. The jerking movement broke bones and ripped flesh.

Alfala dropped the head and closed the airlock before returning to her garden. "Jikama... where are you?"

Chapter 8: Training

Yamo sat on the ground with Naruto and Sakura infront of Kakashi sensei. "Zabuza is more then likely still alive." The masked ninja said.

"What, but we saw what that hunter ninja did to him." Tazuna said in surprise.

"They used senbon, which can be lethal, but are better used to incapacitate targets." Kakashi said.

Yamo scratched her chin, "But the senbon went right through his neck, the precision needed to do that with out hitting major veins and nerves rivals a mastered Sharingan user." The end of her tail tapped ground in frustration.

"And a total understanding of the targets anatomy. I don't think this is the first time the demon of the mist has pulled this disappearing act." Kakashi said as Tsunami brought them some tea.

"So our target is more aware of our abilities." Sakura said.

"THEN WHAT DO!?" Naruto threw himself back in frustration.

"You let the smart ones do the thinking Naruto." Sakura said annoyed.

"Simple, we start your training." Kakashi said as he got up with some help.

"Training?" the three genin asked.

The three young ninja followed Kakashi to the forest. "Now the task is rather simple, you are to climb to the top of a tree." He said as he leaned on one crutch, balancing himself. Yamo despite her wound refused anything to hold her up.

"Climbing a tree? I don't see how that will help us get stronger." Sakura said.

"This is a lesson about Chakra control, watch." Their sensei said as he walked up to a tree, then walked up the tree, eventually going upside down. "Your chakra network flows through your body, this is meant to help you master it. Because once you master that, you can master any jutsu. Only one rule no hands." He threw three kunai at their feet, "Mark your progress. Taking a run helps."

The three of them chose a tree and started to run try over and over.

Naruto took three steps up his and fell on his head. "Not enough chakra."

Yamo however had the opposite problem, she poured to much chakra to her feet and in her first step she stomped all the way through the tree toppling it to the ground.

Sakura however, she was well on her way up the tree. "Sensei!" She smiled down from a branch.

"Well, Yamo, Naruto, if you want to be Hokage and the strongest in the village, Sakura is closer to that then either of you." Kakashi said to encourage the other two.

And for the next few days, training went on like that. The three of them would train in the woods, until one day Kakashi put Sakura on guard duty over Tazuna. After that Yamo and Naruto would arrive later and later for supper., one day Naruto would ask Sakura for advice on the Chakra control after supper.

After that Yamo and Naruto seemed even more determined. The next day they started to come back covered in more dirt and bruises then before.

"Are they okay?" Tazuna asked Kakashi one day at supper as the two genin threw back their food.

"They added sparring to their training. They refuse to fall behind." Kakashi said. "They want to become stronger."

"It's pointless." Tazuna's grandson Inari slammed his bowl. "Why do you even care?" The entire time the ninja had been there the young boy had butted heads with just about anyone in the house. "Pretending to be heroes."

This time Yamo was the one to answer. "Because, why should I be afraid of anyone? After all I will be the strongest in the world."

"What's the point, he'll just kill your family!"

Yamo went silent before putting down her bowl, a dark look on her face. "Shut your damn mouth coward." She said before she left.

"I'm sorry, but that's a sensitive topic for her. Her whole clan was destroyed." Kakashi said.

The days would go by for their training, and they would learn of the fate of Inari's adoptive father, how Gato's men tortured him and killed him infront of the village.

One day Naruto was training on his own as Yamo had gone fishing for herself, her hunger gnawing at her. He would meet a beautiful stranger, a black haired person in a pink floral garment with a basket full of herbs.

"Hello, are you a ninja?" The person asked.

"Hello, I am." He said.

"What are you doing out here?" They asked as they sat in the clearing.

"Well, I'm training. After all I'm going to be Hokage." He boasted.

"Hokage, sounds impressive." They smiled, "I'm gathering medicinal herbs for someone special to me. I would do anything for them as they have saved me."

"Someone special?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, do you have someone like that? That you would give everything up for?" the stranger asked.

"That I would give everything up for? Well, there is this girl on my team, she's a great ninja herself." They would talk for a little longer, the stranger leaving Naruto in the woods as Yamo arrived with a basket full of fish.

One night Yamo and Naruto stood at the top of their trees, marks from the ground to the top. Their breaths heavy as the two smirked at each other. They had done it. "Not bad dunce." Yamo smiled at him.

"Right back you. There was no way you were beating me, believe it." Naruto responded.

The next morning Naruto was out cold in bed. "Best let him rest." Kakashi said, no longer needing his crutches. "Sakura, Yamo and myself can take care of guard duty today." The two mentioned genin were having breakfast, well Yamo was having breakfast while Sakura sat in horror as Yamo swallowed a apple whole.

"Right. We best be off, the bridge will be finished any day now." Tazuna said.

The three ninja followed him to the bridge, "Is it me or is there more fog the usual?" Yamo asked as the group came to the end of the bridge. And she was right, the fog was getting thicker even as the day progressed.

"You're right." Sakura said as she looked around.

"That's because we're not alone." Kakashi said as he looked at the end of the bridge. Emerging from the mist were two hidden mist shinobi, Zabuza and the Hunter nin that had killed him.

"How impressive, too bad it's too late too run." Zabuza said as he looked upon the group. "One short this time, perfect. That loud mouth brat won't get in the way."

"I see my theory about your friend was correct, how many times have you pulled that disappearing act?" Kakashi asked.

"That doesn't matter now. I know your tricks Kakashi, and I know how to kill you and your brats." Zabuza said.

"Sakura, guard Tazuna." Yamo said as she reached for her kunai, only for the back of her hand to get cut open by a senbon.

"You're my opponent and I was ordered to kill you." The masked ninja said.

"Haku will deal with the Monster's spawn." Zabuaza said as he prepared for his battle with Kakashi. "Hidden mist Jutsu." The fog became impenetrable.

Yamo stood stock still, hand by her kunai pouch when the assault began. Senbon seemed to come at her from every angle in the mist pushing her back away from Sakura and Tazuna. Then the attack stopped and the masked boy appeared in the mist. "I got you." She growled and charged him slashing with her kunai only for him to easily dodge and counter with three senbon, lancing her right arm while blocking her kunai with a sebon.

"I don't want to do this, but Zabuza says you are too dangerous. I have to end this quickly." Haku said as he made one handed hand signs.

"What?" Yamo said shoacked.

"Ice style: Ice Senbon." Water in the mist froze into thin needle and were launched at Yamo who was forced to retreat, but a few grazed her cheeks.

"Damn it. Death by a thousand cuts if I keep dodging or I go down instantly if he gets a direct hit." Yamo snarled.

"I see you won't go down easy. Very well." Haku said as he made a series of hand signs. "Ice style: Demonic Ice crystal Mirrors." Floating sheets of mirrored ice started to grow around Yamo, surrounding her on all sides.

Yamo drew her blade unsure of what to do. "This Kekkei Genkai..." She said as Haku approached a mirror and was absorbed into it. "What?" Yamo said as she looked all the images of her foe. "Is it genjutsu?"

Then the assault started. Senbon needles began to hail upon her. cutting exposed skin and piercing skin. Yamo dashed to the side but more senbon lanced her in her leg.

"AAHHH!" She cried out as she grasped the needles. Her glare was full of rage as she ripped them out.

"I see, your pressure points aren't the same as a normal person." Haku said from their mirrors.

Yamo stood up blood dripping down her face, her hands rabidly making hand signs. "Fire release: Ma...!" Her attack was interrupted when she was forced to dodge another barrage. "Damn it..."

"Just give up, I don't want you to suffer." Haku said as Yamo changed her stance. pulling a shuriken from her pouch.

Naruto woke up back in the Tazuna household. "They left me behind!?" He yelled as he pulled on his orange jump suit before running out.

Sorry about the delay on the chapters. I've been busy with work.
