Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon ball and/or Naruto. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. Dragon Ball Z belongs to Akira Toriyama.

Author's note: This is my personal take on the Dragon ball Z and Naruto crossover. Just to let you guys know, the dragon ball reference is to the whole Dragon ball manga including the Z sagas (even though the DBZ anime kicked ass). This story will contain elements of both shows as well as the Japanese way of names and some original names of DB. I will try to upload as much as I can. Please review. Helpful criticism is welcomed. Now, I present Goku's New Adventure!


Chapter 1: The name's Goku

Once upon a time, there lived a dragon spirit with seven tails. And he was so powerful that whenever he shook those tails, landslides and tsunamis would result. Out of nowhere, the Shichibi Doragon attacked Konohagakure, destroying mountains as the dragon laid waste to the land. As the menace approached the village, many shinobi fought bravely against the beast but to no avail. Finally, risking his life, one ninja was able to imprison its soul in a newborn baby. Having defeated the demon, the brave shinobi died. That shinobi was the Fourth Hokage, the fire shadow, champion of the Village hidden in the Leaves. Our story begins ten years after that fateful event in Konohagakure.


Inside a hut lied an old man, doing calligraphy as a hobby when suddenly a voice screamed through the window.

"Lord Hokage!"

"What is it?" An elderly old man turned around to see a Leaf shinobi, dressed with black pants and black and where the traditional chunin vest, panting.

"It's Goku, my lord! That young devil is graffiting the mountainside images of all the heroes of our village – your honored predecessors in paint!" Screamed the anonymous shinobi.

"I will go see what he is up to…again" said Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage who came back from retirement after the death of the Fourth.


Back at the Hogake faces…

"Dammit punk! Stop defacing the Hokage Monument!" Screamed the shinobi at the boy, who was currently painting the faces of the previous Hokages including current one.

"Whatever you losers! You don't have what it takes to do this! I rule!" said the boy with the strangest hairstyle, black spikes sticking out in all directions with no apparent pattern to them. He was wearing a blue sleeveless blue gi, yellow pants, held across by a white sash. He kept on painting when suddenly…

"GOKU!" Screamed a voice that echoed across the land as a man landed near the Hokage. This young chunin was in the standard Leaf ninja uniform, his only distinguishing features being a spiky upward ponytail and a horizontal scar across his nose.

"Aw crap, caught again by the old man and Iruka." Said Goku to himself as he turned around to see a red furious Third Hokage and Iruka.

"Goku! You come down right this instance! If not, I will severely punish you for these actions." Said Sarutobi as he got closer to the boy.

"Like what? There isn't anything you could threaten me with." Goku smirkly said.

Iruka raised a smirk and said, "Then you get no supper and dinner meal as punishment if you don't come down."

Goku's eyes widened with his mouth dropping, "Dude, that is totally uncool," as he came down from the monument towards Iruka. Goku loved his food and had a schedule of six meals a day. He had breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, supper and dinner. He would hate to miss one of his meals and Iruka knew this and exploited it to a certain degree.

As Goku came down, he had noticed all the hateful that the surrounding shinobi were giving him. It was a common thing for Goku. He wasn't what he did to deserve it, but almost every day, he was beaten to bloody pulp at night. Goku was strong but he didn't use his strength to fight back as it would give more reason for people to hate him. He used to cry about it with no one to comfort him since he was left alone. He became ashamed of who he was as a result of all the beatings. His beatings would get worse if they knew he had a tail. Goku had his tail since the beginning but knew that no one else had it. It would seem strange if he had a tail and everyone else didn't. He didn't want to add anything else to list of being hated for.

He was living in hell, from the shame of his tail, the beatings that he received, and the doubt of his own existence. But there was one thing kept him going; his dream to become the greatest Hokage. However, he had to deal with the Third right now as both of them walked towards the Hokage hut with Sarutobi, venting.


"Goku, do you understand what you have done?" Sarutobi said angrily.

Goku was looking away, trying not to pay attention to the latest lecture from the Lord Hokage but instead thinking of his next meal. "I think I will go with the pork miso ramen this time" Goku thought.

"GOKU!" Iruka screamed.

"What? I know what I did was wrong but you should have seen the look of their faces. It was priceless." Goku laughed with a smirk.

"Well if you liked doing that, then you will probably like cleaning it up as well right?" Iruka said.

Goku shook himself at the realization of his punishment as Sarutobi said, "You will not leave the monument until every drop of paint is gone!"

"So? There isn't like someone at home waiting for me."

"Well if you are able to finish early, I might treat you to a meal." Said Iruka as he was looking away towards the window, blushing a little bit.

Goku smiled big and went straight to work cleaning the paint. Sarutobi smiled as he smoked his pipe.

Afterwards, at the ramen shop of Ichiraku, Goku was eating his tenth bowl while Iruka was looking at the boy with his jaw dropped. This wasn't his first time seeing Goku eat but he still couldn't get used to it. Iruka actually kinda of enjoyed having a meal with Goku. He was one of the few people that would appreciate Goku since he also had troubled past.

"Goku," asked Iruka as Goku looked at him with ramen in his mouth.

"Why of all places, did you choose to deface that spot? I mean, you do know who Lord Hokage is, right?"

"Of course!" Goku said as he was gulping down the ramen that was in his mouth. "To inherit the Hokage name, he'd have to have been the best shinobi in the village. It was the Fourth Hokage who saved our village from the dragon demon by finding a way to beat it."

"Ok, then… why?" Iruka had to ask, but he knew the answer as Goku always told him the same. "Because one of these days, they'll be calling me Lord Hokage! I'm going to surpass everyone who came before me and become the greatest Hokage that had ever lived!" Goku stood proudly as he stated his dream so the whole village could hear him.

Iruka smiled proudly, like a father would to a son. "I know I can't play favoritism, but I asked Lord Hokage a favor for you. You know that the survival training is coming up for the Ninja Academy, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Goku asked. He knew what the survival training consisted. A year spent outside the village in the forests with Chunin and Jonin watching the progress of the student to make he or she survives it. The student must also survive with the bare essentials and be able to avoid enemy contact. If not, they would have to spend the year in isolation again until they got it right.

"Well I asked Lord Hokage…"

Start of flashback

"Iruka, is there something troubling you?" Sarutobi asked as he was looking over the paperwork while smoking his pipe.

Iruka stood in front of the Hokage's desk, sweating nervously as he knew with certainty that his request would be denied, "Lord Hokage, I wish Goku be transfer to another place for the survival training."

The Third looked up with a bit of an inquiry in his eye, "Why are you asking for his transfer?"

Iruka looked down as he almost knew that the request was to be denied but he tried anyways. "Lord Hokage, as you know Goku is a talented boy who has yet to realize his importance to the village. He wants to be a full-fledged ninja and get everyone's respect. Even though everyone despises for what he is, I believe he will become the greatest ninja the world will ever know."

Sarutobi looked down and as he blew the smoke, "I understand Iruka from where you are coming from. But we must ensure nothing happens to that boy. I would normally say no to this kind of request," Iruka looked down in defeat, but Sarutobi said the unthinkable, "But I will be willing to listen to your request. It took a lot of guts to come in here and request something like this that concerns the village greatly. Where did you have in mind?"

Iruka, ecstatic, suddenly couldn't find his words but after while he finally said, "I was thinking of the Kame forest."

"Ahhh, him. You want the hermit to train Goku then?" The Third looked to Iruka as if he knew the plan along.

"Yes, if it is alright I was wondering if I could send him out this week?"

"I approve. However, that man is a dangerous person. I will send an ANBU to watch over him." Sarutobi said he was preparing to get his list when Iruka asked, "How about me? I can check on him once every month to make sure he is alive. I know that his training is extreme. I mean, I didn't even survive two months with him but I'm sure Goku will be ok."

"What makes you so sure that he will succeed where you didn't?" Asked Sarutobi, taking in another puff of his pipe.

"Because Goku is different and has the tenacity to succeed. Also, he always is looking for ways to get stronger and fight stronger opponents. I truly believe he will survive one year with him." Iruka said proudly.

Sarutobi blew the smoke and finally, "Well then, I approve. You will watch him once a month and make sure nothing happens to him. He can go as soon as tomorrow."

"Thank you Lord Hokage."

End of flashback

"…and he said that you will go to another place for your survival training. You will be meeting a certain man. Be careful, this man is very strict and tough. I had tried to train with him but couldn't last after two months. It will be tough, but I'm sure you will succeed where I haven't Goku." Iruka finished and then he saw the biggest grin from Goku.

"Is he strong?" Goku had to ask.

"Very."

Goku was jumping up and down with excitement, almost exposing his tail, asked, "When do I leave Iruka-sensei?"

"You leave tomorrow. So go pack your stuff." Iruka said laughingly. It was a proud laugh and Goku knew that. He was about to run back to his apartment when he excitedly asked Iruka, "What is his name?"

"His name, Goku, is Muten Roshi."
