Welcome to Wave Country

!

The bizarre vehicle, not drawn by anything other than a roar from within. But those roars, soon enough, he understood to be machinery. He was more fascinated by the speed of the vehicle, and still more by the smoothness of their progress. A carriage traveling at this speed would have been shaken to pieces. Tazuna looked to the one 'driving' the bike as she calls it. The strange female soldier who washed up onto the shore is a mystery to him and the ninjas he had hired to protect him. First she has strange powerful weapons that can kill a human in a heartbeat no matter how strong they are as he saw what kind of damage her 'guns' are capable of doing at close range. Now she has a vehicle that can travel at speeds that made the landscape flash by like ridding on a train or on a motorboat. (1)

"It's a good thing we found that cart back there or I would have never been able to fit all of you guys on my bike," Niamh shouted to the men ridding on the cart her bike is pulling behind her.

"You think whoever owns this cart going to miss it?" Sakura ask as she clings to Niamh's back as she rode on the back of the bike.

"How were we going to get Kakashi-sensei to the village without carrying him?" Sasuke ask her. Laying on the cart is their teacher who's still out cold from his fight with the Demon in the Mist.

"Drag him behind by a rope," Niamh suggested.

"Nice one," Naruto chuckles.

"I'm not joking," Niamh said. "It will teach him not to be a pervert."

"You really don't like perverts do you," Sakura said to the older woman.

"Let me guess you didn't grow up in a house full of older brothers did you," Niamh said to the young girl holding onto her back. Keeping her eyes on the road and making sure she doesn't go too fast

"At this rate we should be nearing my village pretty soon," Tazuna said as he waves to the small restaurant owner who was standing outside. Her mouth fell open as she sees the strange vehicle pulling a cart behind it rolled on pass her shop.

"Niamh do you have these things all over where you come from?" Naruto ask as he's enjoys the ride.

"Yeah we got these and bigger vehicles that we call cars that can carry many passengers where, I come from," Niamh said as she slows down the bike as she came to some tight curves in the road.

"What are you going to do once we reach Nami no Kuni," Sasuke ask.

"Hang around and watch Tazuna and see that the bridge is built," Niamh said, "And since I'm going to stay awhile here, I might as well build up my name while I'm here."

"How much are you going to charge?" Tazuna ask as he barely has the money to pay the Leaf ninjas yet alone Niamh.

"I'll do it for free since it's for a noble cause," Niamh said.

"You're going to do it for free?" Tazuna said not believing what he's hearing.

"Just say that after the bridge is built you're going to own me one," Niamh said as she's going to make as many friends as she could to survive in this strange new world she found herself in. And she's not going to be like those bloody Yanks in helping the wrong kind of people and not thinking about the long term effects of their actions. (2)

"Thank you for the help," Tazuna said grateful for the help.

"Wait does this mean that we're fired?" Sakura ask as failing a mission is one thing as everyone fails at least one mission in their life. It's the rule of averages as there would always be some failures for every mission that are completed. But being fired from a job is something else.

"Don't worry I'm not taking your mission away from you guys," Niamh said, "I won't be able to be at his side at all times. I'm going to need you guys to help me protect Tazuna and the village he's trying to save."

"Good I'm not going to miss out on this," Naruto said as there's no way he's going to leave someone who likes him.

"How's your teacher doing anyways?" Niamh ask the two boys riding in the back.

"He's needs some sleep to recover from all of the charka he used in his fight with Zabuza," Sakura said as she look over him after the fighting was done.

"Hey Niamh what are we going to do when we reach the shore?" Naruto ask.

"This thing can't float can it," Sasuke said.

"No it can't," Niamh replied. "That's why we're going to need to make a big enough raft to hold it. And I vote that the two young men built the raft."

"I'm for it," Tazuna said.

"Me too," Sakura adds.

"Wait why do we have to do it?" both boys ask.

"Fine then two women and an old man can do a better job then two boys can do any day," Niamh said knowing what buttons to push to get them to do what she wants as she learned it from her mom.

"Hey are you calling us weak?" Naruto ask as Sasuke gave the older woman a glare.

"If the shoe fits," Niamh said to the two boys, hooking them to building the raft.

"I'll show you!" Naruto said as he's going to show them he isn't weak.

"Well looks like the road is going to end soon so go and show us then," Niamh said as she drove up on a hill and saw the beach shore in the distance.

Later that day –

"This is a pitiful sight," Niamh said bluntly as team 7 and Tazuna swept through the island town she's pushing her bike along with her making people look at her strange one wheel cart thing. Broken homes littered around the way. People walked around with dead eyes, dirty clothes, and children begged for food to quench their hunger. The people here looked as if they had no future and merely waited for their time to die. She let out a sigh before turning his attention back to the road. They had arrived here by the wooden raft Naruto and Sasuke had built for them after they had cut down enough trees and tied them together. Kakashi had been woken up when Niamh had dunked his head into the water repeatedly until he woken up.

When they arrived at their destination, which was Tazuna's house, a kind looking black haired woman opened the door. Her face brightened when she saw the bridge builder's face and ushered her father and the five guests inside. Niamh wheeled her cart around the back wanting to wheel her bike into the house as from the looks of people in the village they would take anything to help them, even if the money they get from what her bike is wroth will only last for a short while. Plus she needed to get her supplies out of her bike and her weapons she has brought along with her. The woman called for her son loudly. A scowling boy entered the room. His frown changed into a happy smile when he saw his grandfather and dashed toward him. Tazuna petted his head for a moment before he introduced his companions. The scowl was planted once again to the boy's face.

"Why don't you understand that no one will be able to beat Gatou. They would die for sure! They're useless!" a vein throbbed on Naruto's forehead as he stared at the yelling boy in annoyance.

"INARI!" his mother admonished. The child's glare turned toward his mother before he turned around and ran to his room. "I'm sorry for my son's rudeness. My name is Tsunami and I'm Tazuna's daughter. That boy you just saw is my son, Inari," she introduced herself, before taking them to eat. Her son refused to come out from his room, obviously brooding.

The food on the table was meager, but for Wave citizen it could be considered lavish dinner. It was consisted of three medium fishes, rice, and a pan of soup. None of team 7 complained as they ate quietly, knowing the state of this country and saw it first hand.

"Sorry, I'm late," Niamh said as she enters the room lugging her backpack and a cloth bag with her. "It took me awhile to lockup my bike. I also got some of my stuff as well."

"What is that thing you were pushing?" Tsunami asked wondering what the one wheel cart is.

"It's a moving vehicle that moves on its own like train but smaller," Naruto spoke up, "She's a soldier from across the ocean who got shipwreck here."

"Is that true?" Tsunami asks her father.

"Yes she comes from the lands across the ocean," Tazuna said.

"I'm sorry but…" Tsunami started to say as she doesn't have enough food to feed everyone her father brought home with him.

"That's okay," Niamh said as she held up her bag full of ready made food. "I brought my own food along with me." She takes out two cans of Spam she had gotten from the truck.

"What is that?" Sakura ask as Niamh opens the cans and pops out two slabs of meat?

"It's Spam a mixer of chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite. It's the prefect food out in the field, precook so you don't have to. The can seal keeps the meat fresh to eat for months at a time or even years. It's very popular on islands as it is an economical meat product, where most food is expensive because of high shipping costs to islands. And its good in places were there's no refrigerated shipping."

"You must like it a lot," Naruto said as he took in all of the information she just gave them.

"Try some," Niamh said as she gave all of them a piece of Spam.

They all look at the strange piece of meat before taking a bite out of it. They blink as they taste the flavor of the meat finding it very tasty. "This is good," Tazuna said.

"You know once the bridge is completed you guys should try making Spam once people get a taste for it. They're hook for life," Niamh suggested. "I'll leave some cans for you guys to base the Spam you guys make on."

"There's an idea," Tsunami said as she would try to recreate the meat as it would be a good way to get the village back onto its feet once the bridge is built.

"Starting tomorrow, I will train all of you hard," Kakashi said after they finished eating.

"Don't you think it's a bit late for that?" Naruto said cheekily. The jounin glared, but the younger ninja seemed to ignore it completely. "What training are you talking about?"

"It's tree walking."

"Tree walking?" Niamh said giving him a flat stare.

"But sensei, we already know how to climb a tree," Sakura told him.

"It's a chakra control training," he explains.

"Chakra control training?" Sasuke repeated.

Kakashi nodded. "When I said tree walking, I wasn't joking. This is a training to use your chakra to stick your legs on tree and walked on it. You'll see how tomorrow," he said, knowing both genins want to know more. Both genins nodded reluctantly.

"I'll help you guys as well," Niamh said as she knows that she needs to help get these kids in shape to fight any other killers Gatou might send their way. "I got some extra guns with me. I can train you guys in using them without firing wildly about expecting to hit something and wasting bullets."

"You have some of those guns?" Kakashi ask as he had only saw that she has three guns with her with the one she had use to shoot Zabuza sword out of his hand.

"Yes, I do," Niamh said as she opens her backpack and took out a small gray case out, placing them on the table. She opens them revealing a gun with a box of bullets included in the case.

"This is the greatest handgun ever made. A Colt .45 Single-Action Army Revolver made over a hundred years ago but still a good weapon in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. This only carries six shots, slow in firing and reloading but makes up in its flaws in the sheer amount of power it packs in the bullets."

"Interesting," Kakashi said as he picks up the gun. "How do you use it?"

"Sorry but I'm not about to train someone like you," Niamh said giving him a flat stare. "There's no way that I'm going to be alone with a pervert like you."

"Hey," Kakashi said as he sets the gun down on the table. 'I'm going to need to send one of my massager dogs to give my report to the Hokage. Once news about Niamh and her guns gets out every Hidden Village will be trying to get her to join them.'

"I'll train one of your students instead," Niamh said.

"I want to be train," Naruto shouted. "What are you going to train me in?"

"Well since you ask, I'm going to train you in using Gun Kata as there's a limited amount of bullets I have for the gun," the female soldier said as she smiles at her new friend.

"Hey why does he get to use a gun?" Sakura ask as she wanted to be a cool gun fighter like Niamh.

"Because I know that, I can train him. I have this gut feeling about Naruto here and my trainer said that I should trust my gut feeling about a person as it might save my life one day."

"You're picking the dead last?" Sasuke ask.

"Hey!" Naruto shouted.

"That's the reason why I'm not going to train you," Niamh deadpanned.

"What's Gun Kata?" Kakashi ask wanting to know everything he can before he sends out his report.

"Gun Kata is based upon the premise that given the positions of the participants in a gun battle the trajectories of fire are statistically predictable. By pure memorization of the positions one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him/her in the traditional sense of pointing a gun at a specific target. By the same token, the trajectories of incoming fire are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stance one can keep one's body clear of the most likely path of enemy bullets."

"Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric who created Gun Kata has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically-predictable element. The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than a hundred and twenty percent. The difference of a sixty-three percent increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gun Katas an adversary not to be taken lightly."

"Gun Kata, as a martial art, places emphasis on two tenets: shooting the enemy as efficiently as possible and avoiding return fire. Hitting targets is a matter of knowing where enemy fighters are likely to be located in relation to the user, which removes the problem of aiming (especially at close ranges), not to mention allowing the user to defeat foes with pre-emptive fire before they can present a true threat. Avoiding return fire is also a matter of statistical probability, as Gun Kata users do not rely on bullet time-style evasions, but rather on avoiding the enemy's most likely lines of fire. In short, Gun Kata is the art of shooting where the enemy should be, while not being where the enemy should shoot."

"Wow this is going to be so cool!" Naruto shouted as he held the gun he's going to use.

"But first you need to learn how to climb trees and learn to control your chakra better," Niamh inputted. "Besides I'm still recovering from the days I spent drifting in the ocean."

"Really you look well," Sakura said.

"No not really," Niamh said. "When I was shooting at Zabuza, I wasn't aiming for his sword. I was aiming for his head. But the days of drifting out on the sea had taken a toll on me, I need to take it easy for awhile till I fully recovered or until you learn how to climb trees whichever comes first."

"Okay," Naruto moaned.

"You and Sakura can share my room," Tsunami invited the two females of the party.

"Thanks, I brought my sleeping bag with me," Niamh said as she heads for the door Tsunami pointed to.

'She was aiming for his head?' Kakashi said as he saw that shot hits its mark dead on. If she could do that hitting a target on something moving, after being adrift for days out on the open ocean. He shivers as he thinks of what she could do at full health. He's going to have to keep an eye on her.

Inside Tsunami's room –

Once she got into the room and placed her things into one corner Niamh leans up against one of the walls sliding down on it. She's breathing deeply in and out as she could feel something in her body changing. Ever since she was transported into this world she felt strange.

'Maybe being teleported over here somehow given me some kind of power,' Niamh chuckles to herself.

But those kinds of things only happen in movies and comicbooks… right?

She suddenly felt something snaps inside of her and she felt better as something just release all of the pressure inside. She wipes her forehead as she felt better then ever now.

"I should help Tsunami with the dishes as she's putting up with me till her dad is done with the bridge."

She opens the door and steps outside but she saw something was very wrong. Everyone was sitting at the table and Tsunami is picking up the dishes, Naruto is rolling out sleeping bags as Sakura is getting her stuff into Tsunami's room. But everything and everyone is frozen in mid air like a photo.

"What in the world?" Niamh said to herself as she looks around. She notices a fly buzzing near her. She looks at it closely as she can see its tiny wings slowly flapping up and down. Then it hits her, "I'm moving at super speed." (3)

Author's Notes

1 – Saw a motorboat in the Wave country arch.

2 – If you have anything to say on this. Prove me wrong by showing me why this isn't true that the US government helps the wrong kind of people and doesn't think of the long term effects.

3 – Government made teleporters would have this kind of effect as this kind of thing always happens in comicbooks and in the movies.
