A tall, green man with a huge white cloak and dark clothing suddenly appeared in a dull, white warehouse of sorts. He was the only one in there, besides a camera that pointed directly towards him. This man appeared to be waiting for someone, as if something were to happen with his friend's arrival.
"I swear, if that ninja doesn't get here..." he mumbled to himself. He began to sit down and meditate in wait for his partner.
Several minutes later, a slightly smaller, white haired human wearing a dark green uniform with a red swirl on the back appeared next to the green man in a cloud of white smoke.
"Sorry I'm late, Piccolo. I was...busy," the human apologised, raising one hand to show his apology.
"You're far too late, Kakashi. Sometimes your late attitude will get you killed," Piccolo threatened, standing up. "Let's just get this started. I'll leave the introduction honours to you."
"Fine," Kakashi Hatake grunted, turning to face the camera. "Hi! My name's Kakashi Hatake of the Naruto series."
"And I'm Piccolo of the Dragon Ball series. We're together to tell you viewers and/or readers about different topics Kakashi and I have come up with."
Kakashi raised a colourless sign with the words 'Episode 1: Ki and Chakra' on it. He then quickly put it down.
"For our first episode, we will talk about the differences between Chakra from my series, and Ki from Piccolo's series. We will explain to you how these two energies are vastly unalike."
"To start off, Ki is the natural life source found in all living things. I have it, Kakashi has it, trees have it - anything that lives, has Ki."
"And Chakra is the moulding of every physical energy found within the body. It originally belonged to the Shinju clan, but then they spread it out to others, making who the ninja are in the shinobi world today. Not every living being has Chakra, only the ninja from my world have it."
"There's the first apparent difference. Ki belongs to everyone, some don't use it, while Chakra belongs to a select few. Now, Ki also allows you to create more destructive attacks based on your body. If you haven't been training, then you won't be able to produce much Ki."
"Chakra is the more flexible energy. It allows the user to create tangible clones, form lighting in their hands and breathe fire. Hand-signs determine what technique, or jutsu, you'll end up creating. These signs channel Chakra through your system in a certain way, which tells the Chakra to turn into certain things."
"While Ki can create clones using the Multi-Form technique, the Shadow Clone Technique - or the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - can create far more clones as compared to Multi-Form."
"That is indeed the case. Ki is like the physical energy, tied to every being. Chakra is like a second layer of Ki, which doesn't factor too much into one's life, but can be used. Think of it like an onion - the actual vegetable itself is Ki while the layers are Chakra."
"In short, Ki is stronger than Chakra but Chakra is more flexible and allows for more complex techniques. If I were to fight Kakashi, I wouldn't have to do much to win."
"I hate to say it, but Piccolo's right. He could take on anyone from my world and win without much difficulty. Naruto, Sasuke, Madara...they stand no chance. Any technique from my world that targets the enemy's Chakra will be ineffective to anyone from another world, like Piccolo."
"Exactly. Apologies for rubbing it in, but I bet even Krillin could take you ninjas on."
Kakashi chuckled, nervously.
"Heh heh, probably. Anyway, while this pretty much sums up our episode, we have a special guest to talk about his world's energy."
Piccolo's eyes widened in shock.
"What?! I never said yes to this!"
Kakashi continued to ignore his comrade, carrying on with his idea. "Say hello to Kisuke Urahara from Bleach!"
An old looking human wearing a striped hat with messy, light coloured hair underneath and wearing a dark coat entered the room and stood next to Kakashi. He held a fan, for whatever reason.
"Hello. I'm glad to be here! Anyway, I'm going to be talking about Spiritual Pressure. It has two kinds, Reiatsu and Reiryoku, which are the energy a person's Reiryoku makes and the amount of energy a person has in their soul, respectively. It's similar to Chakra in the sense that it's exclusive to my dimension and alternate subsidiaries," Kisuke explained, facing the camera. "We were gonna have someone from One Piece talk about Haki, but we weren't sure who to get."
I never agreed to this... Piccolo complained. He was a fair person, allowing Kakashi to go along with his idea. The episode would end by this point.
"Well, hopefully I know enough about Haki," Kakashi smiled. "It's similar to Ki, as it can be found in almost every person in the world. However, Haki lies dormant in most people, until they find out how to use it. It's actually a lot like Ki, except for the fact that it's actually weaker than Ki. Ki can do so much more than Haki."
"I do believe Haki has also three types, similar to Spiritual Pressure," added Kisuke. "There's Kenbunshoku Haki, which grants the user a kind of 'sixth sense'. There's also Busoshoku Haki, which gives the wielder the ability to use their Haki as armour. Finally, there's Haoshoku Haki, which is the rarest of them all. It allows the user to overpower the will of others - this type of power can corrupt a person."
Piccolo coughed, to gain attention of the two humans.
"I think that's all we have time for today. Kakashi and I will be seeing you viewers next time. In between this episode and the next, we'll be having a little talk."
The camera panned away from the three, ending the episode.
Author Notes: What do you think of this new story idea of mine? It's basically just as the title says, "Piccolo and Kakashi on Theories". This won't be as updated as Luster the Cat, but it's something short to do whenever I feel like it.
Let me know what you think in the reviews! I'd love feedback.
