A New Friend –

Heat washed over the Land of Wind in palpable waves, riding violent winds that kicked up swirls of sand across the endless desert. Visibility was less than the length of a man's arm with the tempestuous winds blowing up the loose earth from the land. The various creatures that made their home in the sandy wastes had long since learned to seek shelter from such powerful sandstorms; those that hadn't learned had become carcasses.

Yet despite conditions so hostile they could kill any species on the planet in under half an hour, a man strode through the center of the storm, making his way across the expanse of desert, placing one foot in front of the other. He was tall; a giant of seven feet, and his form was massive. His legs were thick as small trees, and his arms and shoulders broad. It appeared as though he could bear the weight of the world on his shoulders; the mythical figure of Atlas given flesh.

His gait was unaffected by the ferocious winds as they pummeled him head on, blowing tiny bits of rock so hard they could flay the flesh from any other creature's bones. The garments he wore spoke of one who had wandered through such terrain for a thousand miles. Every thread was travel-worn and torn. Only a plain brown cloak wrapped around his body, its hood pulled over his head and hiding his face, served as any form of protection from the elements, and even that was far from effective since it was in even worse shape than the clothing that adorned his body.

Hidden in the dark recess beneath the hood, red eyes blazed, fixating on some far off object to the east. Even sand blown directly into those crimson orbs could not make them deviate from the invisible target they sought. Softly, too softly most would say considering his size, the figure intoned but two words full of unstoppable determination.

"Niamh Bradley."

The figure took another step.

Followed by another.

And another.

And the sandstorm raged on.

In Leaf Village –

"You two were attacked by a woman?" Sakura shouted out after Hinata and Naruto had told her and the rest of the rookie nine what had happen.

"Yeah this really tall woman swinging a huge sword suddenly came out of nowhere leaping into the air and almost landed on top of us," Naruto explain to her as he carries the keg of black powder he and Hinata had gotten.

"Ms. Niamh pulled us to safety before she landed on us," Hinata said blushing from all of the attention she's getting.

"Niamh just disarm her then took her back to her house, just like that?" Ino ask the two.

"That's foolish of her," Neji said.

"Letting someone who tried to kill her into her home like that," Shino mutters to himself.

"Well she isn't like anyone you have ever met," Naruto said to them. "She doesn't just judge people without knowing who they are first." They all could feel the bitterness in his voice at the last part.

"I guess," Sakura said. "And that she can handle anything that's thrown at her. She can look after herself just fine."

"That's true," Shikamaru said carrying the things he had gotten.

"So… Naruto did Niamh said anything else to you?" Chouji ask him.

"Nope nothing else," he replied.

"Hmm," Sasuke muttered to himself as he turns to both Naruto and Sakura. "What kind of training has she been teaching you two?"

"She's been teaching me something called wrestling," Sakura said. "Something about using my natural strength since I tend to use too much power in my moves."

"And she's been training me in Gun Kata and the knife fighting moves that she knows. All of them are simple but gets the job done," Naruto said. His training under her consisted of learning to fight using the range advantage of his gun and getting in close with his knife.

"About that knife fighting thing," Kiba said as he pulls something out of the crate he's carrying. It's a long knife with an eighteen inch blade. (1)

"Is that a short sword?" Chouji ask.

"I think it's a big knife," Ino said.

"The blacksmith said that she made some strange request with her orders. She went and ordered some brass sheets, lead balls and knives made out of lead," Kiba added as the weight from those knives are weighing him down. "She also had him make helmets with padding on the inside in a weird shape."

Everyone look at Naruto for an answer, "Don't look at me she still hasn't shown me everything let."

They then turn to Sakura, "Hey don't look at me either. All she's been teaching me are wrestling and knife fighting moves."

There was a tapping on Shikamaru's shoulder who was lagging behind the group. A voice so melodious voice it could have charmed snakes sang out, "Excuse please."

The rookie nine turned around. Before them was a vision that could have come straight out of a perverts wet dream. She possessed long, ruby tresses that flowed backward in the air, despite the lack of wind. High cheekbones highlighted a painfully beautiful face that could have graced the cover of any magazine. She had long legs with firm muscle tone, and an ample bust that seemed to defy gravity. The only thing mundane about her was the plain green uniform of a jacket and pants she wore, but even that only enhanced her tremendous assets, and emphasized the aura of seduction about her.

"Almost makes you wanna become a lesbian, doesn't it?" Ino said to Sakura.

Her friend nodded in agreement and wiped at the slight bit of drool that had escaped her mouth. The boys all stared slack jaws at the version in front of them. Hinata couldn't help but feel envy as Naruto stared at the woman before them.

"My name is Emmy and I'm looking for a woman by the name of Niamh Bradley," the woman asked them.

"What for?" Naruto ask.

"I want to hire her for a job," Emmy smiles.

At the little fort –

Niamh sat at the dinner table with the redhead who had attacked Hinata and Naruto at the other end of the table. From the rate she's eating the plate of eggs and ham, Niamh had place in front of her, she hasn't had a good meal for awhile. The weathered clothes she wore showed she's been on the road and the smell hasn't had a bath in ages. The three adult ninjas also sat in the room wondering what Niamh is doing with a girl she said tried to cut her head off.

"So tell me why do you want to kill me, Maki?" Niamh ask the younger swordswoman as she finished the last scrap of food on her plate.

Maki wipes her mouth and takes a drink washing down her meal. "Gatuo was the only man who knew who had ordered the destruction of my village."

"Gatuo was working for someone?" Kakashi ask.

"Or working with someone I don't really know," Maki said. "I only found out that Gatuo work with someone in a joint attack on my village on an island near Waves, after I cut enough limbs off of the people who did the attack. The person contacted Gatuo since he needed transport ships and needed a supplier in that area. The day you attack Gatuo's main base a shipment for the person was going to head out but your attack stop it and any information I could had gotten went up in flames when you blew up the building."

"Sorry about that but blaming me when I had no idea what you were trying to do won't solve anything," Niamh said.

"He was my only lead to get revenge on the person who destroyed my village," Maki said.

"Tell me why was your village attacked for?" Asuma ask.

"The island where my village was, is a remote island a perfect place for a supply base and safe harbor for smuggling ships," she answers. "Whoever the person is, he or she is smart. The person wants to establish routes for the goods that are shipped from the islands to the mainland."

"How did you learn of this?" Kurenai ask.

"You'll be surprise of what a person will say once you show them enough of their body parts cut off," Maki said as she looks at her sword leaning on the wall behind her. "Funny I would have thought that you would keep me as far from my sword as possible, seeing that I tried to kill you."

"You already tried that remember," Niamh said.

"What now?" Maki ask.

"What are you planning to do?" Niamh ask

"I'm going to continue on with my quest to find the person who destroyed my village," Maki said as she got up to leave.

"You know you could stay here for awhile," Niamh spoke up as Maki grab her sword. "Until I show you how to fight."

"You train me?" Maki ask her.

"I easily beat you. From what usually happens in these kinds of things as you get closer to the end of your quest you find that the people you're fighting get stronger and stronger. If I can easily beat you show how far you have to go to get your revenge. And besides maybe you'll find some clues to the identity of the person your after by staying with me," Niamh explains.

"Stay here and train under you?" Maki ask turning to the female soldier and the surprised three Leaf ninjas.

"You're going to let a woman who just tried to kill you to sleep under your roof?" Kakashi ask her.

"Well let's see I can either have a woman who tried to cut my head off or have someone like you under my roof," Niamh said. "I rather take my chances with her then you any day."

"When will you stop doing this," the one eye ninja ask growling.

"You're reading one of those dirty books right now," Niamh said pointing it out to everyone. "I feel safer with a woman who tried to kill me, then with you any day."

"She has a point there," Kurenai said backing up Niamh.

"Yeah I wouldn't trust you either with a woman," Asuma said. "Especially since you keep on posing nude or in your underwear in public, you're really starting to give us a bad name."

"I'm not the one who keeps on doing that," Kakashi said as he glares at Niamh.

"Yeah sure… keeping telling yourself that in fact… I beginning to think you like being exposed to the eyes of all of those people every time I teach you a lesson," Niamh said.

Asuma and Kurenai both blink at what Niamh just pointed out.

"You know that does make a lot of sense," Asuma said as he rubs his chin.

"Yeah it does," Kurenai said as both of them look at Kakashi and took a wide step away from him.

"Hey!" Kakashi said seeing the looks they're giving him. "I'm not like that."

"Well how about my offer?" Niamh ask Maki.

"I might as well," Maki said as she sits back down. "I need to get stronger."

"Good," Niamh said. "It's a good thing I had the guys make sure to install some guest rooms."

"I still don't get how you got us to agree with that," Kakashi said as Asuma nodded in agreement.

A knock on the door alerted the adults in the building to the front door. "Looks like the kids are back," Niamh said as she taught Naruto to knock before entering. "Come in."

"Niamh there's a woman here to see you," Naruto said as he enters with a jaw dropping woman right behind him.

Asuma and Kakashi both stared wide-eyed at the woman never seeing a beauty or someone so curved in all of the right places. None of the women in the village even the blonde former student of the Hokage could compare to the woman standing before them. Kurenai, Niamh and Maki all felt the ting of envy as they stared at the woman with a body that's a prefect picture of a man's wet dream. Kurenai look at Asuma who's staring like the one eye pervert and started to frown.

"Hello," the woman greeted them in a musical voice. "My name is Emmy."

"You're looking for me?" Niamh ask her.

"Yes I am," the woman Emmy said. "I want to hire you for a job."

In a underground army base located in England –

Hunter checked his equipment as he waited for his jump. The tech guys are busy running through data and numbers of the test jump they did with a lab rat. The rat made the jump to the world where Niamh was teleported to and the recover chip they attach to the rat work. All they need was for someone to go and give her a recovery chip to bring her back. Once he learned from Colonel Mervin Morgan of who was transported to another world he agreed to the rescue mission. And with the unknown world he's going to he's bringing all the firepower he and his bike could carry along with the supplies he needs.

The StA-52 LAR Assault Rifle is the mainstay weapon of the British army. Equipped with a reinforced grip, muzzle flash, and sturdy stock, the Assault Rifle is very durable despite being mass-produced. These weapons are being shipped off to the Middle-East to help the British troops that are over there. The weapon is equipped with a mid-range scope and is capable of firing full-automatic and 12-gauge rounds, making it a superb short to medium range weapon. The gun was invented three years ago and put into service as the need for firepower with the war in the Middle-East showed no signs of ending anytime soon.

The Assault Rifle's primary fire is full-automatic highly inaccurate but extremely quick. Aluminum cylinder cartridges are this weapons primary ammunition. Due to this, the StA-52 LAR Assault Rifle can hold twenty more rounds over the ISA Assault Rifle. While lacking the punch of the ISA Assault Rifle, the StA-52 LAR Assault Rifle can still take down most opponents in as few as six to eight rounds. Despite its low recoil, it is recommended that the user to use short bursts, as full-automatic fire tends to be less accurate. Full-automatic fire, on the other-hand, can be very useful in saturating an area with bullets, keeping ISA forces pinned down until one can reach shelter or move in closer to get better shots off.

The secondary fire of the StA-52 LAR Assault Rifle is a very accurate pump-action 12-gauge shotgun--the most powerful close-quarters weapon. While lacking the stopping power capability of other shotguns, the StA-52 LAR Assault Rifle's secondary fire can be fired from a longer range than other shotguns and still be effective. At point-blank ranges, this weapon can take down all opponents in one shot. All British troopers are provided one shotgun shell per Assault Rifle, making the troops equip with the rifle unparalleled in close-quarters combat. The secondary function's only short-coming is the fact that only three rounds can be loaded at a time, which means that the wielder must reload the secondary function every time it is fired. With this said, it is best that one does not miss, or takes cover after firing the secondary function shells are spent.

Before he was transformed into the perfect soldier he had visited the states and bought a Winchester Model 1894 (also known as Winchester .30-30 rifle, Winchester 94, Win 94, .30-30 Winchester, or simply .30-30) is one of the most famous and most popular hunting rifles. It was designed by John Browning in 1894, and produced at Winchester Repeating Arms Company. In 1964 the manufacturing of the 94 was changed from milled forged steel in the receiver and other major parts to sintered powdered steel. The level of finish was also compromised. Winchester distracted buyers attention from these changes by creating a long line of cosmetically enhanced "commemoratives." One of the weaknesses of the Model 1894 action in relation to its main competitor, the Marlin Model 336, is the fact that it ejects out the top of the receiver, unlike the Model 336, which ejects to the side and has a solid top on the receiver. The reason why this is often considered inferior is that a top-ejecting firearm can only mount a scope on the barrel in front of the receiver, degrading the usefulness and availability of scopes. Also, the Model 336 supposedly has a much stronger action as it is solid on the top of the receiver. Winchester alleviated the first problem with an angular ejection, which sends empty shells out flying at an angle between the original Winchester design and the Marlin design. This made it possible to mount more normal scopes in a normal spot on top of the receiver. But the rifle has a certain charm about it and Hunter had been working on improving the firing and frame of the gun, as he has plenty of free time on his hands.

He also carrying a G1 Grenade Pistol, while not as effective as its bigger counterparts, is equally as versatile. Still being tested but given to him to field test it. The Grenade Pistol, unlike a flare gun, uses a reinforced grip which bends separately from the barrel, so that the wielder does not fracture his or her wrist when firing the weapon. Much like other Grenade Launcher, the G1 Grenade Pistol fires HE Grenades, which detonate on impact, making it slightly more useful than a standard Hand Grenade in open field combat. Because the grenades detonate on impact, they can be fired into trenches or fox-holes, killing enemy soldiers before they can react.

The G1 Grenade Pistol's only shortcoming is that, because it is a man-portable grenade launching pistol, it can only hold one grenade at a time, which means that the wielder must manually reload and cock the weapon each time it is fired. With this in mind, the G1 Grenade Pistol is best used as an ambush weapon, or a weapon used at long ranges, to minimize any risk of being shot at while reloading the weapon after each round is fired. One aspect about this weapon that is better than its bigger counterparts is that this weapon can carry twice as much reserve ammunition than the standard Grenade Launcher, with its smaller shells. Also, one must keep in mind that the G1 Grenade Pistol is safer to use at close-quarter ranges than the other types of Grenade Launcher.

The Steyr TMP (Tactical Machine Pistol) is a fully automatic select-fire 9 x 19 mm Parabellum caliber submachine gun manufactured by the Austrian company, Steyr Mannlicher. It is renowned for its controllability, allowing a shooter to accurately fire the gun in bursts of up to 15 or 30 (the full magazine size), instead of the typical 3-shot or 2-shot bursts that other SMG's allow. It is almost exactly the same as the Steyr SPP, only the TMP is capable of firing fully automatic as well as semiautomatic. Magazines come in 15/30 round detachable box types. One of the main features of the TMP is the angled handgrip at the front of the gun. It has been reported that it is very comfortable to fire and easy to bring to bear and aim. He got it costume made to allow a silencer and a stock to equip to the frame so he can aim it better and not attach people as he fires the gun. (3)

For his side arms he's using a pair of Raging Bulls revolvers. Not the standard side arms of the army but where he's going he might need them. The Raging Bull is a revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company. In its larger calibers, the Raging Bull is a potent weapon with plenty of stopping power. For this reason, it is marketed as a hunter's sidearm. The .454 Casull cartridge has even been used to hunt animals as large as Cape Buffalo and African elephants.

The Raging Bull is easily distinguished by its unique ported barrel and by the red rubber strip along the back of its grip, which cushions the shooter's hand and lowers perceived recoil. Functionally, the Raging Bull is unique in that it has a manually operated front cylinder latch, whose release can be seen on the crane in the picture. Front cylinder latches are required for such high powered double action revolvers, and are found on the Ruger Super Redhawk and the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver, but they are actuated by the rear cylinder latch. The manually operated latch on the Raging Bull is simpler (and thus less expensive to produce) yet equally as strong, but requires two hands to open the cylinder.

For a normal human the Raging Bull was really too big and powerful to fire accurately. In Hunter's enhanced grip it reached out like the hand of god. It looked like something out of a movie. The idea of using two pistols was pure Hollywood. Only a single gun could be fired with any kind of accuracy, two pistols simply resulted in a spray of bullets more likely to pepper the walls than to strike the target. Unless of course the shooter had enhanced reflexes and the limit on firing rate came from the pistol's cycle time.

He is also carrying a M4 Handgun. The M4 Handgun is the standard sidearm for both the special forces and marines alike. The Handgun is an extremely accurate pistol that is capable of taking down opponents with two to three well-placed shots to the head. The bullets usually do not stray off-course unless the intended target is at a relatively long distance away from the wielder, making it a useful tool for relatively silent takedowns at any range. While not extremely powerful, the Handgun serves as a backup in case one runs out of ammo for his or her primary weapon. If one wishes to pick up a more powerful or useful weapon, it is advised that this weapon be discarded, as it is very expendable, and unnecessary for most field missions.

The Intratec TEC-9 is a blowback-operated, semi-automatic 9mm Parabellum caliber firearm, classified by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms as a handgun. It is made of inexpensive molded polymer and stamped steel parts. 10-, 20-, 32-, and 50-round magazines are available. The TEC-9 was originally designed by Swedish company Interdynamic AB of Stockholm as the MP-9, a cheap submachine gun for military applications. Interdynamic was unable to drum up any interest among governments, and the MP-9 never entered production. Unwilling to give up on the design, Interdynamic set up a U.S. subsidiary to market a semiautomatic version to civilians. The MP-9 was redesigned by George Kelgren, and became the model KG-9. Owing to its submachine gun heritage, the original TEC-9, model KG-9, featured an open bolt design which made it relatively easy to illegally convert it to a fully automatic submachine gun. Criminals soon discovered this fact and the TEC-9 became associated in the public mind with gang violence, especially drive-by shootings. Not something one would find in an army base but Hunter got it deliver to him as he had nothing better to do in his room but to collect weapons.

He has a costume made SPAS-12 semi-automatic shotgun. Useful at close range but precision is greatly decreased over range. He had a Buttstock attach to it to reduce the recoil of the SP12 and increases the precision of his firer. A reload boost that has a clip of shotgun shells on the frame of the gun to allow him to quickly reload the gun, rather then fumbling in his pockets. And a magazine clip that adds four more shells and allows quicker reloading time, allowing him to firer quicker in battle.

He also has a, Anti-Material Sniper Rifle. A high-velocity anti-armor snipers weapon that fires 12.7mm ammunition that allows it to punch through body armor and light vehicle armor with relative ease. As there's no way of telling what he would find in the other world.

And for close combat besides the standard knife, he has a pair of brass knuckles, also sometimes called knuckles, knucks or knuckle dusters (more common in British English), are weapons to use in hand-to-hand combat. Brass knuckles are pieces of metal, usually steel despite their name, shaped to fit around the knuckles. Designed to deliver the force of punches through a smaller and harder contact area, they result in greater tissue disruption and increased likelihood of fracturing the victim's bones on impact. Also, the wielder of such a weapon may punch harder than normal, exacerbating damage even further, due to reduced subconscious anxiety about harming their own hands when striking. Combine with his enhance strength, he's able to spilt open a head without putting everything he has into his punch. (4)

Underneath his clothes he wore a Flexible Flack Vest that includes covering his arms and legs, which he made himself. He had painstakingly sewn it together of the course of four months and testing the armor on dummies. It's light and allows him to move with ease. The army brass are thinking of making more of his suits but the cost is too much for them with the war that's going on and all.

And now all he has to do is waiting for Professor Anwar Mackenzie to give the go ahead to send him through. Hunter knows that he might not come back from this mission or find Niamh in the other world. But he's not going to abandon her, after all they been through.

Back in the other world –

Inside one of the rooms in Niamh's home she sat across from the woman Emmy who presented her with a file containing the facts of the job she wants to hirer her for. She had booted out everyone in the house and told them to wait outside as it would be bad business to let people listen on in on a business deal. And said that anyone who tries to listen on in will find themselves in the middle of the village without and clothes on.

"There have been bandits robbing wagon trains in the mountain pass of Land of Honey for the last few months. The soldiers there haven't been able to stop the robbers as the bandits leave no one to tell what happen," Emmy explains to Niamh.

"To tell you the truth I'm in the recovery and transport service. To get rid of the bandits hire some ninjas to do it," Niamh explains to her.

"Yes I know," Emmy said. "I read your ad and why I came to you. In one of the wagons stolen was an item that's important to the person I'm speaking for. For you see I'm a negotiator, who mediates jobs between high-paying clients and retrievers."

"I see," Niamh said. "Tell me what was taken."

"It was a small metal box with a butterfly design on it," Emmy said. "The person wants it back unopened. The bandits aren't able to open it without breaking it open because the key is with the person who was having it transported."

"How much is being offer?" Niamh ask.

"The offer is one-thousand ryous for this mission. Five-hundred upfront and the rest after you get the item back," Emmy said.

"Alright I take the job," Niamh said. "But I need something to go on to find the item."

"I did some digging around and found out which gang has been robbing the wagon trains in Honey," Emmy said as she hands over a folder. "But they're paying someone off in the government there to get the soldiers there to back off. My contact in Honey's police force gave me some information on the gang members and where their hideout might be found. Their hideout is somewhere in a place called Rogue Valley."

Niamh nodded as she flips through the folder reading the police report on the gang members in his own words. The leader of the gang is a woman who goes by the name of, Bad Bessie. 'There's something wrong about a woman who carries around a horse whip, but owns no horse. Something bad, plain and pure. Everywhere Bessie goes, bad men follow, valuables go missing and good people die. I tried to take her in but the higher ups never give me the go ahead.'

'Bloody Tom, I first heard about Tom after one gang ambushed another and left the corpses for the ravens. Seems Tom survived unscathed by hiding under the bodies of his fallen friends. He emerged with a new nickname. He always wears a bloody apron and carries around a meat cleaver where ever he goes.'

'Dan, one of the toughest men alive, Dan drinks in tea houses regularly with his even bigger and stronger brother Sam. These brothers know that few people would risk facing both of them at once, so they usually stay together. The local Daimyo has pardoned them every time they have been brought in and most of the city's guards have given up on trying.'

'Sam, can be found usually with his little brother Dan, in tea houses. As few people are willing to face them together. He's one of the biggest men I have ever seen and is strong as a bear. His love of brawling has led to the ruin of many working mouths and tea houses. The owners of the tea houses, put up with him and the Geisha girls can't seem to get enough of him.'

'Harry Hatchet Schultz, seems his father would punish young Harry by making him chop wood for hours. Harry's brothers and sisters would taunt him while he hacked. By the time he reached fifteen, not a tree stood within miles of the family house. He's been hacking his way thought life ever since. The inside of the long coat he wears is full of blades of all kinds and sizes.'

'Gordon Digs Fowler, most people don't know if he got his name for the way he digs into every bit of food he can find, or the way he digs into peoples chest with that axe of his. Either way, it is just plain disgusting.'

'Sidney 'Sissy' Fess, based on reports from town guards in a dozen other towns and villages, this Sissy is anything but one. Reportedly, he's holed up with Bad Bessie and her foul bunch in Rogue Valley. Story is, he joined Bessie's gang because Rogue Valley has more rocks and boulders to throw than anywhere else in these parts. Sidney doesn't do much besides throw rocks around, but when you get hit by one, nothing else seems to matter.'

"I'm going to need someone to guide me to Rogue Valley," Emmy said as she sets the folder down. "I have never been to Honey or any other place around here either."

"I can't help you there," Emmy said.

Outside –

"Boy what's taking them so long," Naruto said as he sat around a fire roasting a fish on the end of a pole. He and the other kids already put away all the stuff they had gotten in the village and are now helping themselves to the fresh fish Niamh had gotten for them.

"Well these deals do take time," Kakashi said enjoying a moment of peace where he could read his book.

"I wonder whose she's going to pick," Ino said as she sits around the fire cooking a fish for the fish fry they're having.

"One thing I know is that she won't take someone who's a pervert," Sakura said as she takes a bite out of her cook fish.

"Well I'm interested in being a sniper," Shikimaru said between bites.

"Since it doesn't have you moving at all," Choji pointed out frying his fourth fish.

"That's no surprise," Shino said.

"Naruto what about that woman who attacked you and Hinata?" Sasake ask him.

"Niamh said she's going to be staying with us for awhile," Naruto said.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Kiba ask feeding a piece of fish to Akamaru.

"Ms. Niamh said she's okay," Hinata spoke up. She looks over where the woman Maki is standing at in the training area of the fort. She's looking over the training dummies and training equipment.

"But she's trusting someone who she just met," Sasake said.

"Just like Naruto did to me when we first met," Niamh said stepping out of the house. She's carrying a few bags with her.

"Are you going to leave?" Kurenai ask her.

"Yeah I accepted the job," Niamh said as Emmy followed her out.

"Do any of you have been to Rogue Valley in the Land of Honey?" Emmy asked the adult ninjas.

"No, I've never been there," Asuma said.

"Me neither," Kurenai said.

"Don't look at me," Kakashi said looking up from his book.

"I have been there before," Maki spoke up.

"Are you up in taking out some bandits?" Naimh ask her.

"Bandits?" Maki said as she taps her chin. "Alright I'm in. Maybe I'll be able to find some information out of them. Bandits usually hear a few things from other bandits when they sell their loot at black markets. That's how I found my leads so far."

"Good," Niamh said as she pulls off the cover of her bike and loads her bike with supplies. She pulls out a map from her pocket of the countries looking it over. "We need to head for the Land of Honey and get back a stolen item. It should take us about a day to get from here to the Land of Honey."

"I heard of your machine that allows you to travel faster then a horse like a train, but smaller and faster," Maki said as she looks over the bike. "Can we really travel ground what would take several days to cross on foot?"

"Once she found that bike of hers it took us only took a couple of hours to get to Waves that would have taken us two days on foot to cross," Sakura spoke up.

"Yeah it was so cool," Naruto said.

"Here you need this," Niamh said as she tosses Maki a strange shape helmet with a chin strap.

"What's this for?" Maki ask seeing Niamh putting one on.

"Well when I found the bike it didn't have any helmets with it. So I had the blacksmith to make some," Niamh said as she taps the metal helmet with soft padding inside of it. "It's really dangerous to ride on a bike without a helmet and I only drove at a slow speed up till now." (5)

"Wait you were driving slow?" Kakashi ask.

"Well besides when I had to floor it to get to where you and the others were fighting Zabuza. I was only going about five to ten miles to play it safe. If you fall off a horse you could break your neck or something else. But falling off of a bike going at break neck speed is like having a rock fall on your face from the top of a ten story building. With these helmets it gives the rider a better chance of living through a fall or a crash," Niamh explains as she hops onto her bike.

"You're putting a lot of trust into me," Maki said as she sits behind Niamh.

"I learn it from Naruto," Niamh said as she turns to him. "Naruto you look after the fort while I'm gone and keep people from looking around."

"You better believe it," Naruto said smiling. "I'll look after things."

"I'll be staying at one of the hotels here," Emmy said. "I'll be waiting for you and your friend to come back."

"It shouldn't take a couple of days," Niamh said.

"Wait you were going to tell us who you're going to train," Ino shouted out.

"The one I'm going to be training once I come back will be Hinata," Niamh said as she turns on the engine of the bike giving out a loud roar. "Asuma use that headset you got and call up the guards to open up the South Gate. Because I'm coming right through."

With a roar she power up the bike and rocketed out of the open gate of the fort and barreled down the road. Maki let out a yell as the speed of the machine surprised her not us to having something take off at the kind of speed from a standstill. The ninjas of the Leaf and Emmy all watch in awe at the speed of the fast moving machine that kick up dust as it zoomed down the road at speeds that they have never seen before.

"Wow that's fast," Naruto said wondering if he'll ever get to ride on the bike.

"Better call up the guards at the South Gate," Kurenai said to Asuma.

"Yeah," he said as he turns on his headset to call up the South Gate guards. (6)

"Wow you're going to be training with me," Naruto said to Hianta who blush as everyone's attention fell onto her.

"She picked you?" Kiba said as he turns to his teammate.

"She did say that Naruto and Hinata make a cute couple," Kakashi said. Making all the kids to stare at Naruto (who doesn't get what his teacher just said) and Hinata (who gets what Naruto's teacher meant).

"Kakashi, Gai's team have just come back," Asuma said. "They're at the North Gate and he's been shot with a gun."

"He's been what?" Kakashi said surprise alone with everyone else. "Call the guards at the South Gate and tell them to stop Niamh from leaving. She needs to know that something else washed up from the shipwreck."

"Too late she and that Maki girls have just rode though the gate," Asuma answers.

"Damn it," Kakashi said. "Naruto, Sakura you two stay here and watch over the fort like Niamh ask."

"Where are you going?" Sakura ask.

"I need to see how bad my rival is," Kakashi said as he disappears with blinding speed towards the village.

"We're going with him," Kurenai said as Asuma nods. "You kids better go home for today." Then they too took off for the village.

Leaving behind the rookie nine who are wondering what's happening.

Author's Notes –

1 – The machete is a cleaver-like tool that looks like a very large knife. The blade is typically 50–60 cm (18–24 in) long, usually with a thin blade under 3mm thick. In the English language, an equivalent term is matchet (though the name 'machete' enjoys greater currency). The machete is normally used to cut through thick vegetation such as sugar cane or jungle undergrowth but it can also be used as an offensive weapon. There are many specialized designs for different regions, tasks, and budgets. In Central America it is not uncommon to see a machete being used for such household tasks as cutting large foodstuffs into pieces — much as a cleaver is used — or to perform crude cutting tasks such as making simple wooden handles for other tools.

2 – Remember to vote for someone other then one of Bushes friends next year.

3 – The small machine gun from Resident Evil 4

4 – You think I'm giving him too many weapons or not enough weapons?

5 – Remember to always wear a helmet when ridding on bikes.

6 – I remember seeing headset in the anime during the exam.
