Hunter Comes to Town

!

Niamh should in front of the students that failed the test to advance to the next level and didn't like what she saw. Sure they weren't bad some of them showed great skills that would be useful for the type of training she would have put two of them through but all of them shared the same thing that made her check them off of her list. Everyone of them thought of little of Naruto and some ask if they could not work with him.

"Every single one of you are not fit to teach my fighting style," she said flatly at the young students.

"What?" one of the young nins in training asked as he had hope to learn from her.

"Why?" a girl ask.

"I ask each of you what you think of Naruto and all of you said you didn't want to work with him or that your parents said he's bad. That's the reason why none of you will ever learn anything from me," she said to them before she turns around and left the stun group.

Walking out of the classroom she was stop by one of the teachers. "You can't just fail all of them just because they don't get along with one boy."

"I'm not part of this village and I'm only staying here because of that one boy. I'm not about to teach anyone who can't get along with the only person in this village that's keeping me here," Niamh said.

"Wait!" the nin said stepping in front of her. The next movement he found himself stuff in a trashcan and Niamh long gone.

In the Hokage Tower –

The 3rd Hokage sat in a meeting with the village council as they all wanted to talk about Niamh. Ever since she came to the village a lot of talk has been going on about her. Some of the council members wanted to make her part of the village, some wanted her to marry into one of the clans to infuse her blood limit into one of theirs. All of them want her to share her knowledge of her weapons and technology with the village with the recent events of one of their best ninja team had the run in with the gang armed with weapons like Niamh has.

"She refused to teach any of the students because they didn't want to work with that boy," one of the council members said as they all read reports about the event earlier today at the school.

"She can't just refuse to teach just because of that," another said.

"Didn't you had an agreement with her in teaching some of the village young nins in her fighting skills?" one of them ask the Hokage.

"She only agreed to teach those she found to be fit to train by her standards as we agreed upon. Other then that she's free to do as she wants," the 3rd answers.

"You can't mean that," Danzo said.

"She isn't from this land or has any ties besides Naruto. He's the only one who is keeping her here and from joining another village," the 3rd pointed out. "Don't forget she has little to trust us with Leaf nins following her whenever she's in the village or spying on her home. She knows full well she's being spied upon as the nins who try to sneak into her home always turn up hanging naked in front of the tower. We have little to offer her that she wouldn't be able to find in another village, should she decided she had enough of the Leaf's spying."

"We can't just let her go and do as she pleases," one of the older members said.

"She needs to become a nin of this village or train more then three young children in her art form," Danzo said as he's been sending his Roots members to gather as much information on her as they could.

"Niamh has already made it clear that she wouldn't be joining this village only staying as long as it takes to train Naruto, Sakura and Hinata in her fighting style. And trying anything by force of arms will just cause trouble for us. She has already proven she's powerful enough to kill Razor one of the top five ranking assassins of the Element Counties not to mention she and her group has killed many groups of bandits that would give even the Anbu ranks trouble without losing any of her people and completing them that a time span that none of the Leaf have ever done. You all know that like the other five, Razor became the top assassin he was during the war, none but the 4th was able to fight off them without suffering heavy wounds. To force her into anything she doesn't want will lead to nothing but bloodshed of Leaf nins," the 3rd explained.

"She's powerful but no one is undefeatable," Danzo said.

"Then you fight her in the upcoming exam. She did say she would work for anyone if they can beat her one on one," the 3rd said. "But of course since it's an open challenge any Ninja Village or nation can fight her. And depending how we treat her and her students she'll either beat them all or let herself be beaten to whoever makes her the best offer."

"You're saying like none of the Leaf nin have a chance against her," one of the elders said.

"Tell me do any of you know any Leaf nin who would be able to kill someone like Razor without having a mark on them?" the 3rd ask he waited for a reply and none in the room answered. "She told me that in her land blood limits are rare. With guns everywhere blood limits like the Uchiha and the Hyuuga that stands out have long been killed off. No matter how skilled they are a young punk arm with a gun can kill even the most powerful blood limit user. Her blood limit are one of the few that can be found in her lands because of the fact that it skips generations and allows her to evade bullets once she uses it. In the lands where she came form only the blood limits that can be hidden or come from a small clan have survived, coming from a place like that Niamh will never drop her guard long enough to force her into anything."

"But she still needs to be controlled," Danzo said.

"Then fight her during the exam then," the 3rd replied. "She has proven to be a powerful ally and she would make an even deadlier foe. During her last mission when she was looking into a escape tunnel a bomb blew up in her face but she use her blood limit to out run the blast. With her blood limit she'll be able to kill any number of nins that are thrown at her. Not to mention her three friends she has made. Maki, and Ran are both powerful swordswomen who have proven that they can fight on the same levels as our best sword fighters, and Meow has proven to be a match in skills and power as Gai. If we try to force Niamh into anything against her will they will side with her."

"Then what do we do with her then?" one member ask.

"Leave her be and hope when the time comes that she learns the truth about Naruto that she'll still think of the Leaf as an ally. That's all we can do," the 3rd said.

In Niamh's fort –

Niamh evaded the attacks from both Maki and Ran as they tried to strike her with their bladeless training swords that were twice as heady as their real weapons. Together they have been training so that each would know what the other would do without speaking, together they made a formable team. Maki with her massive sword had the power and the reach, while Ran's sword was able to move fast and fight at close quarters. It took them awhile to get use to fighting together but they soon gotten use to fighting together so that they wouldn't get in each others way. Meow also joined in darting in and other of the swinging blades of her two partners. Her limbs had on heavy training weights, a weight belt and weighted shoulders. She also work into being able to go with the flow of Maki's and Ran's blades attacks so that she wouldn't be hit as she goes in for the attack.

"You three are going to have to do better then that," Niamh said as she pointed out ways for them to do better.

"Like this?" Ran said as she darted behind Niamh as swings for her legs.

While she was in the Maki came in with a rising blade swing. Niamh using her years in gymnastics and tumbling she learned in High School to twist her body in midair evading the massive blade. Meow appeared behind her doing a flying kick but missed as Niamh continued to twist her body in the air. With her blade still up Maki used it as a springboard, as Meow's feet touch the blade, Maki used her strength to launch Meow back at Niamh. She smiles as she grabs onto Meow's arm and use it to twist her body downwards and slamming Meow on top of Ran who was preparing to attack. Maji attack with a swing but Niamh ducked and trip her making her fall on top of Ran and Meow.

"Wow that was awesome!" Naruto shouted from the sidelines with Sakura and Hinata.

"You're so cool!" Sakura said.

"Nimah what's the point of this?" Maki ask as she gets up from on top of Ran and Meow.

"Yeah most of the stuff we have been learning are things we could have learned on our own," Meow said rubbing her back.

"You mean you three still hasn't seen what I have been teaching you?" Niamh ask.

"Working as a team?" Hinata spoke up.

"Besides that," Niamh said.

"You're increasing our speed and skills?" Ran asked.

"Yes that's what I'm teaching," Niamh said as her arms suddenly vanish.

"Where did your arms go?" Sakura ask.

"What do you see?" Niamh ask her students. They all stared at where her arms use to be, every now and then they saw a flash of her hands.

"You're moving your arms at lightning speed," Ran said.

"It's like when there's a fly buzzing around in a room. You can track it with your eyes, but every now and then you lose sight of it, right? It's not because it's moving fast. It's because it changes directions so suddenly that you lose sight of it," Niamh explains stopping her arms. (1) "By having you three use weights all of the time when you take them off your attacks will but much faster. And all of the time that we have been training I have been increasing my speed little by little each time, the closer you guys come to hitting me means that you'll be able to hit almost anyone you fight against. You might not be able to use my blood limit but I'm going to get you as close as I can."

"Really?" Maki ask seeing how moving that fast would be useful.

"I'm also improving your strengths and weaknesses. Maki you have speed and power, but your weapon limits your attack movements. Ran you have skill and grace, but you're not that strong without your sword. And Meow you are suited to close range combat and have the speed, but can't handle long range attackers," Niamh said. "Which is why I have been improving all of your fighting skills and I'm going to arm you with tools to help you with your weak spots."

"Are you doing the same for us?" Naruto ask.

"Yes," Niamh said. "Both you and Hinata are doing well in Gun Kata and Sakura is doing well in CQC as she has a lot of strength and drive."

"Thank you for all you are doing for us," Sakura said.

"Just make sure that when you fall you pick yourselves back up and continue to try to surpass your current level," Niamh said.

Elsewhere –

Watching from a corner of the chicken pen, Kurenai and Kakashi watch as Niamh started her training exercise with their students. Kurenai was impress with what she's been seeing when her team gathered together, Hinata has started to be less shy and showing some backbone and has improved with her fighting style. As Niamh despite her speed took her training slow, she's a patient teacher who would take the time to teach everyone training under her the proper movement and stances. Her father had asked her about it with the sudden change in their families fighting style and she told him that's what Niamh has been teaching her. Instead of making a fuss about it he accepted it as he knows that if he took Hinata away from her training then their only way from a member of the Hyuuga to be a gun fighter would be gone.

"She's a better teacher then you are," Kurenai said to Kakashi.

"Hmmm," Kakashi said as he mumbles about something under his breath. It wasn't just enough that everyone in the village was now laughing and pointing at him whenever he steps outside. But now she's proving she's a better teacher then he is. "She isn't that great if she was she would know that we're here."

"What's the?" Kurenai said as she suddenly found herself in a blue dress with filly and all of her ninja gear gone.

"Not again," Kakashi said as he once again found himself wearing a pink dress and nothing else.

"What did I told you guys about sneaking around?" Niamh shouted at them.

"Where are my things?" Kurenai ask as she really didn't like wearing dresses like the one she's currently in.

"Why you look nice," Maki said.

"And you look a lot better then Kakashi the drag queen," Meow smirks.

"There is that," Kurenai said grinning as she turns to the drag queen.

"Sure make fun," Kakashi said then notice that Ran was taking pictures of him.

"These are going to be a big hit," Ran smiled as she could think of a lot of people who would pay for these pictures.

"Hey!" Kakashi shouted.

"Please like you're going to do anything," Niamh said waving him off.

Kakashi was about to say something when something exploded that came from the village. Everyone quickly ran to the gate of the fort and look towards the village and saw smoke rising from the main gate.

"Kakashi your clothes are in the chicken feed shed, Kurenai yours are inside the main building in the living room. Naruto, Sakura, Hianta you three stay here and guard the fort. The rest of you climb on the wagon and lets ride," Niamh ordered.

"Right," Maki said as she grabs her fighting sword and throws Ran's hers as they climb onboard the wagon attached to Niamh's bike.

"You two catch up with us once you're dress," Niamh said but then thought of something. "Wait forget that."

Suddenly both Kurenai and Kakashi found themselves in their clothes again along with their gear. Looking at Niamh she waved them to join Maki and Ran in the wagon they nodded and hopped on board. Meow opened the gates wide and jump behind Niamh as she took off for the village. Leaving the three young nins to look after the fort while the others were away.

"I hope they'll be okay," Hinata said.

"They will be," Sakura said.

"Niamh is the best after all," Naruto said.

At the front gates –

A hole was blasted through the massive gates of the Leaf Village as a figure came walking into the walled village. The man who blew a hole in the gate was a powerfully built man, his uniform didn't hide the large powerful muscles underneath them. The way he walked was like a dragon walking through the forest knowing that it's the most powerful beast around. He didn't care that Leaf nins running to the bomb blast were now surrounding him with their weapons drawn. They all held back as they saw what he's armed with, a rifle resting on his shoulder and two revolvers at his sides.

They all seen the power that guns have and none of them knew how to handle this. With Gai one of the best ninjas of the village was taken out and bedridden so easily, they knew that they could only be so lucky. They all knew that rifle the man has would shoot a lot of bullets before he ran empty and there would be no telling how many would be hit.

"Hold it right there!" a blonde woman with a big chest shouted as she steps in front of him. "What do you think you're doing?"

"The guards wouldn't let me in so I made a door," the man said pointing behind him.

"I already know the power those guns of yours are packing but as long as I can evade them your mine," Tsuande said having arrived a few hours ago and has just finished working on that weird ninja's shoulder.

"Give me your best shot then," the man smiled opening himself to her attack.

"You ask for it!" Tsuande shouted as she drives a powerful right hook into his left cheek. But to her surprise and to everyone else's who knows who she is, her punch that could break solid rock didn't send the man flying. In fact he didn't moved at all by her blow, and she could feel that she hadn't broken anything from her punch something that hasn't happen in years.

"Is that all you have?" Hunter asked as he pushes Tsuande's arm away from his face, showing that he didn't have a mark on him.

"Who are you?" Tsuande ask as she know if he could stand up to one of her best punches when he let himself be hit, means that she and the rest of the village was in for one hell of a fight.

"I know who he is," Niamh said as she appeared with her group along with Kurenai and Kakashi. "He was on the ship when it sunk. Meet the most powerful soldier from my land, who has been named the one man army, Super Soldier Hunter."

"He's from where you came from?" Kakashi ask.

"Yes he is," Niamh said smiling at Hunter. "Don't worry he maybe rude and a slob but he won't cause any trouble."

"The same as always," Hunter said smiling at Niamh.

"You two know each other?" Kurenai ask.

"Of course he is my exhusband after all," Niamh said as she plants a kiss on his lips.

"WHAT!" everyone shouted so loud that it could be heard miles away.
