Worlds Apart

by Dimension Distorter

Well it happened again. Naruto got into some crazy shit and once again got sent to another world. A world full of monster's made of data and an Earth with no ninja but has technology far more advanced than his own. How is the young ninja going to cope with all of these new customs and how will he get back home? Well at least our favorite Half-Saiyan will keep him company.

1. A Shift

Just as I said on my last chapter on ASE I was going to bust out a new story in this BITCH. Yes, your eyes do not deceive you. Like the link says it's a NarutoXDigimon story. I think that it's about time someone had posted a new one of these since updates from others are becoming increasingly scarce.

There is one NarutoXDigimon story that has recently been added named 'The V-Kaiser.' It's really good; I suppose that you all should go check it out. I mean it's only a few chapters in but I know that it's going to be BEAST! I'm pretty sure that some of you had gasped a little when you saw what else was in the description. Well…you're not seeing things, I'm bein' real.

Yes…GOHAN HIMSELF IS GONNA BE HERE! I can tell that you all are just waiting in eager anticipation to see how this all plays out while other's are probably thinking 'Really? GOHAN…HERE…WITH NARUTO!?' I've always wanted to see what would happen if Gohan went to Digimon but no one has done that yet, even after the franchises have been out for years and years. If someone has I'm pretty sure it's discontinued or wasn't that good-I don't know. People probably just don't have the imagination which, like I said on my profile keeps this site running. Even the ones that are already out haven't been updated in years, so it's a little bit of a dead section. Originally it was just going to be Naruto here but then I realized everybody has done this. It may have happened in many different ways, but it was still mainly just Naruto. So I decided I would have had to come up with something new all together. After screwing around in my imagination which I do literally everyday, 24-7 for hours on end, even in school I came up with this.

Trust me, if you start doing this then you won't need to get your inspiration from an external source. You don't even have to have a rational thought just THINK OF SOMETHING! I'm an experienced fictionist so of course my imagination can run a mile in a millisecond. But putting those thoughts together to make a story…that's a bit more difficult. If your mainly a realist and like to rely on facts most of the time then this method is not for you.

Well first multi-crossover ever, let's see how this plays out.

CHAPTER 1:

A Shift

Dark clouds loomed over the valley, which in turn had also suffered a great deal of damage. Not even the fight that was between the two shinobi legends, Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage Hashirama Senju can even begin to compare to the battle that has so far been taking place. A battle that was fought by two boys, each with their own extraordinary power. Both using techniques that even most jounins wouldn't dare perform, yet they themselves were gennin; the lowest level of ninja fighting a fight of epic proportions. If one were to look upon the valley they would see two boys standing inside of the statues of Hashirama and Madara themselves.

The one standing in the statue of Hashirama was a boy fully clad in an orange tracksuit, which had multiple burns and a hole somewhere around the right shoulder area. He had sun-kissed blond hair which currently was looking wild and three whisker like marks on his cheek. His eyes were blood shot with black slit pupils which held a lot of anger in them and had a red shroud of energy surrounding him. The energy had two long ears at the top of his head and a tail that seemed to be moving around on its own. This boy was Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The other boy that was standing in the statue of his ancestor Madara Uchiha looked to be nothing short of a monster. He wore a blue short sleeved shirt and white shorts. His skin on the other hand was a dull grey. His hair was long and which reached the middle of his back. His eyes were also red but had three black tomoe in them, while the sclera was black. He had a melancholy look as he stared at his opponent. There was a black star formation at the bridge of his nose and finally two grey hand like wings were petruding from his back. This boy was Sasuke Uchiha of the fabled Uchiha clan.

They both battled long and hard, both gaining and loosing the upper hand against each other. Both used up almost all of their chakra while their extreme transformations were taking their tolls on their bodies. Both knew they were at the end of their rope but started to draw on their chakra once more for a final attack.

"Well it seems that this is the end, huh Naruto? The climax of our bout now will see whose ambition is stronger." Sasuke said to Naruto. But he just stood there not saying a word and only held out his right arm. Air started to swirl around in his palm as a deformed looking ball of Chakra started to appear.

Sasuke saw the action and chuckled slightly. "That's right, I said that we were done talking didn't I? Well then I believe it's time we truly end this fight, AND ALL OF THE OTHER FIGHTS WE'VE HAD UP TO NOW!" Sasuke went through three handsigns as blue lightning crackled in his left hand, which in seconds turned pitch black. The sound produced was similar to the wailing of a thousand ravens. The blue ball of Chakra in Naruto's hand had gained a perfect spherical shape. The blue energy turned purple which was mainly because of the fox's tainted chakra.

After their attacks formed they both stood there staring at each other for a few seconds, their minds both going through all the trials and tribulations they had both went through so far up to this point. Without a signal they both jumped at each other.

"NNNAAARRRUUUTTOOOO!" Sasuke yelled.

"SSAAASSUUUKKKEEEEEEEE!" Naruto yelled right back.

Both brought up their arms and threw them at the other will as much force as they had.

"RASENGAN!"

"CHIDORI!"

Naruto's Rasengan clashed against Sasuke's Chidori both pushing their hardest to overcome one another. Their Chakra creating ripples of energy tearing at the stone that surrounded them until it formed into a massive black sphere of condensed power. The sphere kept growing and growing crashing against the giant stone statues, with the water from the waterfall running over it. Inside the sphere of energy Naruto and Sasuke's attacks dissipated with Sasuke being the first to act. He poured lightning chakra into his fist and planted it within Naruto's gut. Naruto winced but instead of aiming to hurt Sasuke he went for the headband instead and used his claws to put a scratch in it. Naruto smirked inwardly at once again accomplishing something someone said he couldn't do. This being when Sasuke said he wouldn't be able to scratch his forehead.

The black sphere of energy on the outside appeared to have started to crack all over until it broke apart, giving of a flash of light. Naruto and Sasuke fell down into the turbulent water below, washing them up shore. Both seemed to have used up so much energy that they had passed out from chakra exhaustion. It was around this time their sensei Kakashi Hatake the famous 'Copy Ninja' had arrived at the battlefield, with his trusty dog Pakkun accompanying him. He looked around frantically until his eyes landed on the still forms of Naruto and Sasuke. He ran over to them and checked their pulses while giving a sigh of relief.

"Thank the heavens, their both alive." He looked at Naruto and smiled under his mask. "Well, Naruto it seems that you have truly outdone yourself." Kakashi created a Shadow Clone and had it pick up Sasuke, while he picked up Naruto. Pakkun walked over to Kakashi and said, "That brat of yours is something else, isn't he? To be able to come this far for one person, he must have some bond with Sasuke."

Kakashi chuckled and said, "Oh trust me, you don't know the half of it." He looked over the entire valley and had seen the damage that was done to it. The giant statues had good sized holes in multiple places while huge rocks from the tall cliff's still came crumbling down. Hell even some of the cliff's themselves were falling apart. Pakkun shook his head in disbelief.

"To think that two mere genin had caused this much destruction to a large area like this is mind-boggling." He looked at the genin in question. "It's almost as if the First and Madara had fought in this place once more."

Kakashi chuckled as they turned and headed straight for the village, but not before saying, "Well Naruto and Sasuke are related to them in a sense. With Sasuke being an Uchiha himself and Naruto being an Uzumaki who are relatives of the Senju, of course, they would put up one heck of a fight." Pakkun just smirked at the silver-haired man before the two (Plus the clone) made their way back to the Hidden Leaf.

Upon their arrival back to the village, Tsunade was proud to say that the mission was a success. When Kakashi had left Tsunade had asked for Asuma, Kurenai, Gai and the 1st and 2nd medical corpse to go retrieve Kiba and Akamaru, Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, and Lee. The other genin who had helped assist in the 'Sasuke Retrieval' Mission. Even though Shikamaru out of all of them came out with the fewer injuries with his major being a broken finger and their first S-Rank mission a success he still said that it was a 'Total drag'. Sakura had burst into tears at finally having Sasuke back home in the village and had graciously thanked Naruto when he had woken up a day later, thanks to his crazy fast healing abilities. Tsunade said that Sasuke should recover his energy in four more days and even then he still would have to spend about a week in the hospital because of both chakra exhaustion and the strain his body took, from the overuse of the Curse Mark. He should also probably wake up around this time as well. For Naruto, he decided that after he got out of the hospital due to the injuries he suffered, he was going to relax. Sinc he healed was a very fast healer because of the Nine-Tails, he would be out and about in under a week or so, which would allow him to visit Kida and Akamaru, Choji, Lee, and Neji in the hospital once they were properly stabilized. Not Shikamaru since he only suffered some bruises and a broken pinky.

"Another one old man. Keep 'em coming." Naruto said to Tsuchi.

"HAHA, of course Naruto. Anything for my number 1 customer." He said back to the blond, who was goring himself on more noodles.

Naruto was now in Ichiraku Ramen Shop and had just finished his 10th bowl of his favorite food. Tsunade had given him a few days off of missions and S-Rank pay for the one he just went on. Oh yes, he and his Gama-Chan were very happy at the moment.

"Hello there. May I have a miso ramen, please?" Naruto looked to the side to see Jiraiya sitting down next to him.

"Of course mister Jiraiya, coming right up." Tsuchi said and went into the kitchen.

Naruto stopped slurping his noodles and asked, "Oh, hey there Pervy-Sage. What'cha doing here?"

Jiraiya gave Naruto and wide smile and bumped his elbow into the blond's arm. "What, I'm not allowed to have lunch with my own student? I'm hurt Naruto, really."

Naruto narrowed his eyes and said, "That's a lie and you know it. I know that you'd rather be pepping on women than spend time with me." Jiraiya crossed his arms and closed his eyes, giving a sly smile.

"Well…You are absolutely right about that." Jiraiya stated boldly making Naruto fall back in his chair. Tsuchi came back with the miso that Jiraiya asked for and went back into the kitchen.

Naruto got up and slowly sipped more noodles while glancing at Jiraiya who had a goofy look on his face while eating his ramen. He took a big slurp from the bowl and drank some of the broth. "AH! DELICIOUS!" He exclaimed. Naruto slurped up everything in his bowl and turned to face Jiraiya, who still wasn't paying attention to him.

"Okay Pervy-Sage what is it that you want? Why the heck are you really here?" Jiraiya put down his chopsticks and looked to Naruto with a serious expression on his face.

"Believe it or not I came looking for you, Naruto."

Naruto's eyes widened slightly. "For me, why?" He asked.

Jiraiya fully turned his head towards Naruto and said, "Well, it has something to do with your training. Tsunade and I have been discussing this for a while now."

"What? Discussing what?" Naruto asked impatiently. Jiraiya smirked and said, "I've decided that I'm going to take you on a training trip with me, for three years."

Naruto looked a little puzzled. "Wait, but why three years?"

Jiraiya ate the remainder of his noodles and gave a small sigh of content. "Well, we have gained new information on the Akatsuki. It's obvious that you're one of their primary targets and I'm sure that they'll come after you next. But my spy network discovered that they're not going to continue their operations within three years, so we'll use that amount of time to train."

Naruto was ecstatic about the thought of getting some real-time training in with the Toad Sage. He may have been one hell of a pervert but the man did teach Naruto some incredible jutsu. He wouldn't have been able to beat Gaara without the Summoning Jutsu and he sure as hell wouldn't have been able to match Sasuke without the Rasengan. Sometimes Naruto still couldn't believe that he had mastered a jutsu that the Fourth Hokage himself created. Naruto knew that if he went with Jiraiya he would be that much stronger and closer to becoming Hokage. Naruto smiled brightly at Jiraiya who smirked back.

"For real? You mean you're gonna completely train me this time? No more ditching me and training by myself? You got yourself a deal Pervy-Sage!"

Jiraiya just laughed at Naruto's enthusiasm who also started to laugh with him. They stopped when Jiraiya patted Naruto's head, a few times.

"Great, we leave in three days kid. That should give you enough time to pack and say goodbye to everyone else."

When Naruto heard about the amount of time he had before he was supposed to leave his smile started to fade away until it was gone completely.

"Three days? Couldn't we just…you know…wait a bit longer Pervy-Sage?" Naruto asked with a little bit of hope in his voice. Jiraiya already knew that Naruto was probably going to ask that. It wasn't the fact that he was sad for not being able to see his friends for a few years or anything. It was the fact that Naruto wouldn't be able to say goodbye to Sasuke. He was scheduled to wake up in about one and a half weeks but Naruto only had three days, to prepare. The thing is Jiraiya knew that even if he was conscious Sasuke would probably be absolutely furious with Naruto and he's pretty sure that Naruto knew that himself.

"Naruto listen, I know what you're trying to do but Sasuke is no longer your main concern right now. You already kept your promise to Sakura so there's no need for you to keep thinking about him. Our top priority now is to get you to be able to better yourself at fending off against the Akatsuki."

Naruto averted his gaze from the Toad Sage knowing that what he said was true. The Akatsuki could come after him at any moment if they had wanted to. They easily had gotten into the village undetected before so who's to say that they wouldn't try again? Jiraiya said that they wouldn't mobilize for another three years but the risk was still a bit too great to stay in the village. The village wouldn't survive another major attack so soon and Naruto was sure that Sasuke was going to hate his guts, for bringing him back.

"Look Naruto…I know that this may seem a little hard to hear but currently, the bond that you and Sasuke had shared…is gone now. Bringing him back to the village can only do so much, like allowing you and everyone else to get in tune with Sasuke again; but it will not quell his hatred or his thirst for power. He can try but he won't be leaving the village anytime soon, thanks to Tsunade upping the security system. You said to me yourself that Sasuke now see's you as his equal which you have been striving for him to acknowledge you. Right now you need to acknowledge that Sasuke is going to have to be worked with and need's his space. The kid is dangerously unstable and who knows what could happen if he were to see you know. He's already made two attempts at killing you and I don't think that he would hesitate to try it again. It's best to leave the village with our troubles currently behind us."

Jiraiya rose from his seat and left some money on the counter while giving Tsuchi and nice tip. He left out the restaurant and stood out in the open for a second.

"In three days I'm coming to get you at 10 in the morning. Make sure you pack nicely and say goodbye to everyone." Jiraiya left in a burst of smoke leaving Naruto thinking silently to himself about the new situation. He left his own money on the counter and decided to go train again, just so that he would be able to take all of his problems off of his mind.

FLASHBACK START

Tsunade and Jiraiya were sitting in the Council Chambers waiting for the last members of the Shinobi Council and Civilian Council to appear for the meeting. They both slightly sighed at the light but endless chatter that was coming from both sides. It was basically meaningless stuff that had to do with things like extra mission assignment's coming in, more construction work around the village or if certain Shinobi should be promoted. Hearing the entry doors open and then close Tsunade looked up to see the rest of the council members taking their seats. The noise in the room started to slowly die down as they all glanced at Tsunade. She cleared her throat slightly and spoke.

"Thank you all for allowing yourselves to be here, today. I arranged this council meeting to make a couple of important announcements." She said. A male civilian council member asked "What kind of important announcements lady Hokage?"

Tsunade inwardly sighed already knowing the reactions the rest of the council was going to have. 'I'm going to need a drink after this.'

"The first order of business is that the Village Hidden in the Sand wishes to create a peace treaty with the Leaf Village."

The council was in an uproar at the thought of even considering such a thing. Even though the Shinobi and the Civilian side didn't see things eye to eye that much they sure could agree that making peace with a village that was already supposed to have been at peace with them but betrayed them was the last thing that they had wanted right now. For the Shinobi side, many precious ninja had died during the invasion. Some were close friends and many others were very valuable ninja that could never be replaced. The Leaf's forces were ultimately crippled. For the civilian side like Shinobi, many innocent citizens had gotten caught in the crossfire of the all-out war that was taking place in the village. Many buildings and homes were destroyed and even some of the landscape was unrecognizable. They already have construction workers fixing up the village but the property values were too great. Unless they came upon a large sum of money the Leaf Village isn't going to be brought back to its original state anytime soon.

"Outrageous lady Hokage! You can't be serious, can you? The Sand Village betrayed our trust and committed major crimes against the village. Now all of a sudden they want to make peace with us, just like that?" Tsume Inuzuka, Kiba's mother shouted. The others were agreeing with her as well. Tsunade and Jiraiya both sighed since they really couldn't blame them for being angry. They just knew they were all going to act this way.

"Listen, everyone, I know that this is a tough pill to swallow but let's face the facts. Leaf is in a terrible state even if we are rebuilding. Some of our younger ninja is getting sent out on missions that are a bit above their level while most of our chunin and jounin are either still recovering or have been killed off already. We don't have any support from any of our other neighboring villages for they either don't want ties with any village or are our enemies. The Sand so far is the only likely ally that we have. The Kazekage's right-hand man, Baki, has already agreed to have the Sand village help pay the reparations for the damages."

"That's nice and all but remember lady Tsunade the Sand sided with Orochimaru and Orochimaru killed the Third. After an event like that, I don't see how we can trust them anymore. I'm pretty sure that everyone in this room and even the citizens of the village agrees." Shikaku Nara, Shikamaru's father had said while getting nods and 'yes's' form everybody. Tsunade bit her lip as she knew that one crucial fact had been a major problem that gave the Sand a bad name in the Leaf. She honestly didn't know a way around this.

"Actually it wasn't entirely that Sand's fault on that," Jiraiya said while everyone was looking at him now. Tsunade sighed in relief as the pervert came to her rescue.

"What do you mean by that Lord Jiraiya? " A female civilian with blonde hair asked. This was Mebuki Haruno, Sakura's mother.

Jiraiya cleared his own throat and said "As you all know I run a spy network that reaches out even past the Land of Fire. It's not hard for me to obtain very accurate information about both our allies and our enemies, from different nations. Do you all remember when Orochimaru was disguised as the Kazekage during the exams? Well, it seems that he had taken on that appearance when word reached out Hidden Leaf was having the finals of the Chunnin Exams. If I had to guess I would say that Orochimaru had taken on that disguise beforehand and had tricked the Sand into attacking the Leaf village without their knowledge. So basically in their mind, they were following orders from their leader, not an S-Class rouge ninja."

Tsunade smirked as the whole room was silent. No one had dared to question the information the Jiraiya had just given for they all knew that his network was almost never inaccurate. Preferably it was 98.5% accurate for some of the information he receives isn't always going to be up to date. Sometimes if it wasn't for Jiraiya then the Leaf would have been destroyed way before it's time.

"Well now that that's settled does anyone object to the treaty, for the Sand Village?" Tsunade gave a confident smirk which grew even more as she saw that no one on either side had raised their hands.

"Good I'll send a message later on via messenger hawk to the village, claiming that we will agree to the treaty," Tsunade said.

"Lady Hokage, what was the last piece of information that you wanted to distribute to us?" Hiashi Hyuuga, Hinata's father asked.

The smirk that Tsunade had on her face slowly went down as she braced herself for the real challenge, that was about to happen. Jiraiya saw this too and thought 'Now here comes the hard part.'

"The last thing that I want to disclose…is that I wish for Naruto Uzumaki to be on leave from the village for a 3-year training trip, with Jiraiya" Once more the room was in an uproar which seemed to have been louder than the last one.

"Lady Hokage, please reconsider. The village still isn't in top shape as it is. As you have already said our ninja force is starting to run a bit low and we need all the manpower that we have. To let the village's Jinchuriki leave would leave us in a more vulnerable state then we are already in." This comment was said by Koharu one of the Leaf's elders and an old teammate of the Third Hokage.

"I agree with her Lady Hokage. I don't think that would be a wise decision to make. We need as much assistance as we can get our hands on." Humora the other elder of the village said.

"Listen I know that this is a tough decision to make but I believe that it is necessary. Naruto currently needs all of the training that he can get." Tsunade said getting glares from the two elders.

"I'm sorry to say this Lady Tsunade but it would be a smarter choice to reconsider this action." Danzo Shimura said. Danzo was the villages' war-hawk who also looked like a living mummy with all of the bandages that he has covering his torso and face. By that his right arm which seemed to be hanging in his robe and over his right eye. Both Tsunade and Jiraiya glared at him but he paid no mind to them as his face remained impassive.

"And why should we do that Danzo?" Jiraiya said trying his best to keep the venom in his voice to a minimum.

"It's clear to me that the boy needs incredibly extensive training. I am not saying that you Jiraiya are an unaccomplished ninja but I do not think that you are fit to train the boy, properly."

Tsunade and Jiraiya glared harder at Danzo as both knew what he had really wanted to get his hands on. "If I recall I did an exceptional job at training Naruto. I was the one who taught him both the Summoning Jutsu and the Rasengan after all. He also accomplished not one but TWO S-Ranked missions with those jutsu. Defeating the Ichibi and bringing back Sasuke."

Danzo only smirked "I am well informed that you have taught the boy some incredible techniques but you are not thinking about the main situation here Lord Jiraiya. I believe that the boy needs to train in controlling the Kyuubi's Chakra so that he can become an even more valuable asset."

'I was right, that was what he was after.' Both Jiraiya and Tsunade thought.

Koharu looked at Danzo and said, "Just what are you trying to imply Danzo?"

Danzo shifted his head to gaze at her even though his eye was closed. "What I am saying is that I believe that I would be a better choice to take the boy under my wing and train him. As I said before he needs to be able to control the Kyuubi so I am willing to put my time into helping him with that problem."

Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest. "So that's what you are after. You want to train Naruto so that you can have the power of the Nine-Tails all to yourself."

Danzo shook his head from side to side "No, Lady Hokage, you misunderstand. I am merely trying to do what is best for the village."

"You mean by turning him into a mindless drone just like your ROOT, right?" Jiraiya scoffed, making everyone beside Tsunade and Danzo gasp. Danzo stopped smirking and went back to his impassive face. On the outsde it looked as if he was calm but on the inside, he was a little worried.

'What, how could he have found out? I made sure that my operations were kept extremely hidden and went undetected.' Hoping that he could probably get the suspicion off of him Danzo feigned ignorance. "I'm sorry but what do you mean by that Lord Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya scoffed. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Danzo. Remember the conversation earlier about my spy network? I hope you didn't think that I wouldn't leave some of my spies here inside the village. "

"But I thought that program was supposed to have been disbanded." Choza Akimichi, Choji's father said.

"I'm pretty sure that we all thought the same thing Choza." Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino's dad said.

"What is the meaning of this Danzo?" Koharu asked the war-hawk who was actually starting to sweat a little.

"I'll tell you what's going on" Jiraiya started, "Danzo has been secretly operating his ROOT ninja to capture other ninjas for his program and has incapacitated others that caught wind of what he was doing. And if I remember correctly the Third had given strict orders for you to disband the ROOT." Jiraiya stated while noticing Danzo start to lose his edge, by how hard he was gripping his cane.

Tsunade stood up from the table and said, "Well I am going to decide by myself and say that it's unanimous that Naruto WILL be allowed to go on the training trip with Jiraiya. And thanks to this new piece of information Danzo," she pointed to Danzo "You are to be removed from the council and be taken to the T&I Department for anymore secret information that you possess."

'Damn it. I won't let all my plans fail here.' Danzo thought frantically.

In a flash Danzo pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground obscuring everyone's vision. Jiraiya blew the smoke away with a wind jutsu with everyone out of there seats in a fighting stance. Heads were turning as they couldn't find a trace of Danzo anywhere in the room.

"Impossible. I had ANBU at every exit. How is it that he could have escaped?" Tsunade asked.

Jiraiya looked at her and said "He must have used the Body Flicker Technique right after he had thrown the smoke bomb. It's weird though, I didn't sense any Chakra being used."

Tsunade made a motion to all of the ANBU and they all appeared before her. "I want you to do a sweep of the village and look for that old fool. Travel as discreetly as you can. I'm sure that he knows that we're looking for him but it would still be safer to hide your presences from him."

All of the ANBU nodded and fazed out of the room. Tsunade turned to all of the Clan Heads and the Civilian council. "This meeting is now adjourned. Be on the look out for Danzo, also." Everyone in the room left after that.

FLASHBACK END

Kakashi was standing atop a building watching Naruto sleep through his window. Kakashi found it odd that Naruto was sleeping in his clothes without the blankets covering him, but realized that the blond was training all day. He wandered in on Naruto at their usual training grounds and saw him doing various exercise's to better his abilities, like sparring with his clones meditating and working on his Rasengan. He figured that it was his turn to teach Naruto something just to help him get by better in his carrier as a Shinobi. He told him about the real reason behind the Shadow Clone Jutsu and in turn he would use that knowledge to learn techniques quicker. Naruto learned two new jutsu in the span of a couple of hours and found out his Chakra Affinity for wind. Looking at Naruto now Kakashi figured that he was just physically exhausted and passed out. Kakashi also had been informed by Jiraiya that he and Naruto were to leave in three days to go on a three year training trip.

In turn he had told Sakura who he was sure had probably told everyone else from the Konoha 11 along with Gai's team. He was sure going to miss the blond once he left. He always kept things lively and no mission was ever dull, even the boring one's. The rivalry between him and Sasuke made it even less boring. Kakashi sighed as he thought about Sasuke. The young Uchiha had fallen so far from his path that he was willing to go to the Leaf's greatest traitor and threat Orochimaru so that he could obtain power. Orochimaru in turn wanted to take Sasuke's body so that he could obtain the Sharingan. Thanks to Naruto though that was never going to happen.

'I need to have a talk with Sasuke when he comes to. It seems that my little talk with him wasn't enough. He really needs a lot of guidance about the path that he is currently following.' His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of breaking glass. He looked down at Naruto's apartment only to see a figure leaving through the hole where the window used to be, with a large sack under his arm.

"Hey what is this?! Let me out of here!?" Kakashi heard a voice coming from the sack but already knew who it was.

"Naruto!" Kakashi shouted. The figure stopped jumping for an instant and saw Kakashi look at him. Kakashi's eye widened when he had seen the kanji that adorned the forehead of the mask the culprit was wearing.

'ROOT? It has to be Danzo's doing. No doubt he wants to turn Naruto into a mindless soldier.' The culprit started to hop away into the forest with Kakashi following behind not loosing sight of him. Without taking his eyes off of the ROOT member he made a Shadow Clone.

"Go find lord Jiraiya and tell him that Naruto is being kidnapped by ROOT." The clone nodded and turned on its heel and made haste to the village, with the original Kakashi catching up. Kakashi took out an explosive kunai and with great aim threw it onto the branch the ROOT ninja was going to land on. He noticed a second to late as he was tossed with the explosion and sent to the ground. Kakashi pump a bit of Chakra to his legs and jumped to catch Naruto was falling pretty fast. He caught him and landed in a crouch.

"Don't worry Naruto I'll get you out of there." Kakashi heard Naruto gasp.

"Kakashi Sensei is that you? Hurry get me out of this thing!" Naruto shouted. Kakashi brought out a kunai and cut off the knot at the top of the sack, not having much time to untie it. He was greeted with blond hair a few seconds later and felt relived to see that Naruto was unhurt.

"Whew, thanks sensei." Naruto said full of gratitude as he started to crawl out of the sack. When half of his body was out they both heard a familiar sizzling noise just a few inches of them.

'Paper Bomb!' Kakashi thought in surprise. He gripped Naruto's body and shielded him from the explosion that sent them both flying a few meters away. Kakashi figured that it was probably a small Paper Bomb since they hadn't flown very far, but the downside is that they explode faster. Kakashi pulled the rest of the sack off of Naruto and helped him to his feet.

"Naruto c'mon, we have to get out of here now." Kakashi said to Naruto who was both confused and a little worried about almost being kidnapped.

"Kakashi-sensei what's going on? Who was trying to take me away just now and what did they want?" He asked hoping to get answers. Kakashi just shook his head and griped both of Naruto's shoulders.

"Look Naruto I promise to fill you in later, but right now we have to get out of here."

"I'm afraid that we can't let you do that Kakashi Hatake," Said an unknown voice that seemed to have echoed around the forest. Kakashi stood protectively in front of Naruto and reached out with his senses trying to pinpoint his target from earlier. Out of nowhere 10 ninja had jumped from the tall trees and surrounded them. All of them were wearing masks with the word ROOT embedded in the forehead. Naruto looked around frantically at all of the ROOT Division Members.

"Oh no, there's too many of them." Naruto said. Kakashi's lone eye glanced around at the ROOT Shinobi.

'Damn it, they have us completely surrounded. Getting through these guys isn't going to be easy in the slightest, especially if the info from Jiraiya about these guys being ANBU level is true.'

"I'll say this once more Kakashi Hatake, please give us the Nine-Tails jinchuuriki. If you cooperate then no harm will come to either of you." Kakashi looked at the one speaking and saw the slightly singed clothes. He realized this was the guy that was trying to kidnap Naruto and had got him with his Paper Bomb.

"I don't think so. I know what Danzo wants. He just wants to use Naruto and abuse the power that he wields." Kakashi said while Naruto looked up at him, not understanding the situation.

"Danzo, who's Danzo and what does he want with me? And can you tell me what these ANBU rip-offs want." Naruto asked. Kakashi never took his gaze off of the ROOT.

"Danzo was a main member of the council that runs the village. The ninja that you see before you aren't ANBU, but ROOT; A secret batch of highly trained ninja that only work for him. Danzo wants to get his hands on you because you harbor the Kyuubi inside of you. He wants to make you the 'perfect weapon' for the village."

Naruto was already angry with how this Danzo guy sounded. It's bad enough that he was almost kidnapped by the guy's lackeys but having to become a tool for the guy? He already went over this down at Wave, when Haku and Zabuza thought they were only tools in the world of Shinobi.

"Uh-uh, no way! I'm not gonna become anyone's tool! I already went over that Kakashi-sensei! Shinobi aren't tools in any way! We still have feelings and our own dreams for the future, tools don't have any of these things!" Naruto yelled. Kakashi sighed as he recalled words similar to those on the Wave Mission as well.

"I know that Naruto, I'm well aware of that. But Danzo doesn't think the same way you do. He'll do anything to obtain power and only see's ninja as tools under their leader. He's one of those kinds of people that won't change his way of thinking. "Kakashi said.

The ROOT that was speaking to Kakashi before stepped forward. "Enough talking Kakashi, hand over the boy now, or we will have to take him by force." He said with him and the other members getting into a Taijutsu stance. Naruto walked forward and placed his hands in a cross seal.

"You want me, come and get me!" He said confidently. "No Naruto wait…" Kakashi started but the ROOT members were already running at them. "Damn it, it looks like we have no choice." Kakashi reached up to his headband and pulled it up showing his trademark Sharingan.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto cried as the area they were in was suddenly covered with about 100 Naruto clones, which started to charge at the ROOT. "You didn't think Lord Danzo hadn't anticipated this?" Said the leader again before they all made cross seals while still running making the Naruto's and Kakashi get wide eyes.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Each ROOT member created 10 Shadow Clones which equaled the number of Naruto clones that were made. Kakashi for his part created 20 Shadow Clones which had started to assist the Naruto clones at dispelling all of the ROOT clones.

For the next ten minutes it was the sound of nothing but clones being dispelled, jutsu being called and thrown around, explosions and the sound of all the Naruto's that were currently present at that time screaming in both war cries and pained ones. Kakashi for his part saw that the battle was still one sided, even if they had more numbers for their part they were still technically two people fighting off ten. He was already exhausted from using his Sharingan too much and it seemed that Naruto was starting to lose a little steam as well.

"If this keeps up we'll both be wiped out before back up arrives. I have to find a way to end this quickly before they manage to capture Naruto again." Kakashi mumbled to himself. Unconsciously his left hand moved up to his face as he put his index and middle finger on his Sharingan Eye.

"But…there is a chance at us being able to walk away from this. It's a risky move…a really risky one but I don't see any other option. I think I'm going to have to use it." Kakashi took a Chakra laced jumped back as he put his hands into a hand sign over his left eye and started to gather all of his remaining chakra into it.

For Naruto he was doing worse than Kakashi. The majority of his clones had already been dispelled and only 15 of them were left. The ROOT was panting a little for using a bit more Chakra then necessary. They were still perfectly able to continue though. But Naruto was tiring quickly. Especially on the fact that he WAS tired from being abruptly woken from his sleep and he and his clones had kept trying to nail the ROOT with the Rasengan and his two new jutsu, which missed the majority of the time. He was able to take down some of the clones with Kakashi's clones taking out a good portion of them, but it was still a loosing battle. What with the ROOT having a large variety of both close and long range jutsu each and the Kakashi clones sharing the weakness of having the strain of the Sharingan sapping their chakra.

Yeah it didn't look good on Naruto's part.

'Guess I don't have a choice. I have to use the fox's Chakra.' Naruto put his hands into a hand sign and started to draw on the Kyuubi's Chakra which was made apparent by the red aura that was starting to surround him. The sudden influx of Chakra made his clones cry out a little in pain before being dispelled.

"Good, that's exactly what we have been waiting for." The ROOT leader said before they all had charged at Naruto. Naruto braced himself for one more fight. All of a sudden he felt…uneasy. He didn't really know how to describe the felling. It was as if some kind of mysterious force was tugging at his entire body and tried to shrink it bit by bit. He looked around and saw that the area around him had become incredibly distorted and seemed to be moving around. He figured that the ROOT had tried to place him in a genjutsu but was surprised when they all stopped charging just a few feet away from him and looked around as well.

"Naruto, get out of the way!" Naruto heard Kakashi yell and turned to see him. What he saw was something that really shocked him. Kakashi's Sharingan eye had changed in look and seemed to have resembled some sort of pinwheel/shuriken. If you took a closer look one could see the distortion coming straight from the weird Sharingan.

"Kakashi-sensei what's-"

"NARUTO LISTEN TO ME AND GET OUT OF THE WAY! YOU WON'T SURVIVE IF I HIT YOU WITH THIS!" Kakashi yelled. Naruto nodded and used his new found speed to blur away from his captors surprising them and appeared a few feet away from Kakashi. Kakashi made a hand sign and focused on the area around the ROOT.

"Ninja Art: Barrier!" The ROOT looked at the ground surrounding them and saw that seals were placed in a perfect circle around them, which had started to glow.

"It's a Barrier Jutsu trap? When had he set this up?" The lead ROOT said as a blue line of energy had risen from the ground and had formed into a dome, surrounding them. One of the ROOT touched the dome before being harshly electrocuted.

'No, Lord Danzo HAS to get his hands on the Kyuubi. It's the only way to ensure our villages survival.' The lead ROOT unsealed a Tanto and channeled an extremely thin amount of lightning around the blade making it extra sharp. With a great downward swing he had managed to puncture a small hole through the barrier and started to slowly cut it down the middle, making Kakashi go wide eyed.

'What, he's cutting through the barrier? I have to finish the jutsu before he can free himself.' Kakashi pumped more Chakra into his eye and felt that he had enough to unleash his most dangerous and devastating jutsu. The ROOT leader wasn't having so much luck only managing to cut a foot through the barrier but found that he was out of time, as the space around him and his team was distorting even more. He let go of his blade and saw the really thin gap that he had made and had an idea. Why not have the Copy ninja get a taste of his own medicine? He tried to stretch his Chakra through the thin line that he created through the barrier and tried to Substitute with Kakashi. It was a difficult task considering that space was shifting his body in many different angles. He felt a tug of Chakra on the outside connect with his Chakra and made an attempt to switch.

"Kamui!" Kakashi called out. In that split second the ROOT captain disappeared in a puff of smoke and saw he was lying on the smooth grass. He shot his head up and imagine his surprise when he came face to face with Kakashi, the man he was trying to switch with.

'But if I didn't switch with him…then…'

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" The ROOT captain and Kakashi looked back into the barrier that was getting sucked into space and found Naruto banging his hardest on the barrier, with the Kyuubi's Chakra canceling out the lightning effect it had.

"NO! NARUTOOOO!" Kakashi screamed as loud as he could but it went of deaf ears as the barriers along with all of the other ROOT ninja and Naruto was sucked away into another dimension, never to be seen again. Kakashi stared in shock for what seemed like hours but was really a few seconds at not believing what had just happened. He looked down at the ROOT captain in complete and utter furry at what he had forced Kakashi to do. He delivered a really nasty punch to the side of the ROOT face as he was sent skidding across the ground, landing in an unconscious heap. Kakashi fell to his knees as his rage was replaced with sadness and regret at the thought of practically killing his student. Even he, a seasoned ninja who had seen death many times before, started to shed tars for the first time on the battle field. The death of his sensei and his best friend were terrible experiences but even then he had never cried from the loss of them. This experience was totally different because even though it was nowhere near intentional HE was the cause of his student's death.

His student and his sensei's son.

'I'm sorry sensei, but I have failed you.'

In a different universe another inhuman, practically god like battle was taking place. The first fighter was a boy no less than 11 years old. He had on a purple gi that was ripped and tattered from the intense battle against his opponent and incredibly spiky golden hair. His left arm was completely covered in bruises and was bleeding profusely, while his breathing was heavy. This boy's name is Son Gohan, the son of the legendary Son Goku. In this world Goku was known as the strongest fighter in the universe. At first glance he seemed human but he was really from an alien race called the Saiyan's. He came to Earth in a space pod as a baby and was raised by a man named Gohan, who later passed away. He started to make a name for himself as a child by taking down evil villain's and a globally known organization called the 'Red Ribbon Army.' After his many adventures he settled down with a human named Chi-Chi and had Gohan, naming him after his late grandfather. Gohan harbored an incredible hidden power within him. At first his powers were completely unstable and he never had the potential to draw them out willingly until now. His opponent and probably the most dangerous threat to the universe had toyed with Gohan's emotions and forced him to tap into his overly growing and destructive hidden strength.

And who is this opponent you may ask? It goes by the name Cell. Cell is an android that was created by a villain known as Dr. Gero, who claimed Cell to be the 'Ultimate Lifeform.' Cell is a humanoid android but is mostly green and black. He has two big black wings and a helmet like head with two vertical horn like structures protruding from it.

Both Gohan and Cell were standing a long ways from each other, with Gohan glaring and Cell giving a confident smirk. Gohan looked down at Vegeta who had battered and beaten from the attack that was dished at him, by Cell. Cell tried to kill Vegeta with an energy blast but Gohan jumped in the way, which is how his left arm was damaged. He looked up at Cell who had shifted into the Son family traditional stance of their famous attack: The Kamehameha Wave.

"GYAHAHAHA! what's the matter little boy!? Don't tell me that you've given up already!? What happened to all of that confidence that you had just a few moment ago? Did it die along with your power!?" Cell taunted while laughing as he started to gather all of his energy.

Gohan looked down in shame as he knew that this was his fault. He had more than enough power to finish Cell off before but he let his own ego cloud his judgment. In the midst of being defeated Cell focused all of his energy into his center and expanded into an over-sized living time bomb, ready to destroy the Earth. His father came to the rescue and used Instant Transmission to teleport Cell to King Kai's planet where he blew up. Everyone especially Gohan felt grief thinking that Goku had died in battle again but were surprised when he had reappeared right in front of them. He claimed had just enough time to teleport himself, King Kai and his companions Gregory and Bubbles off of the planet before Cell detonated. The Z-Fighters felt relief thinking Cell was dead until he had regenerated and came even stronger than ever. What's worse is that he somehow managed to pick up Goku's Instant Transmission technique which made fighting him even harder than Gohan thought possible. Next thing he knew he was getting thrown around not being able to defend himself for using up a good portion of his energy, while Cell completely regenerated his. Now Gohan didn't see any point to continue this battle.

"It's no use…It doesn't feel like I have any power left. Everyone I'm so sorry…but I don't think that I can beat Cell, he's to strong. It looks like…it looks like this is really it for me." Gohan said in a defeated tone. He just didn't see the point in continuing this fight. It just seemed so hopeless.

"No, Gohan. You can't give up. Are you really going to stand there and let Cell just destroy the Earth? Just use the pain of loss." Gohan looked up in shock as he heard the voice of his father in his head. It was just like all those years ago when the Saiyan's had arrived on Earth. He looked over to the sidelines to look at Goku.

"Dad…are you speaking to me?" Gohan said hoping that he wasn't just hearing things. Even from the large amount of distance Gohan could faintly see his father nodding to him.

"Yes Gohan, I am. I know what you are thinking Gohan and listen I know that you have more than enough strength to finish off Cell."

Gohan looked at his father in surprise. "But…but how dad? I don't think that I have any power left, and even if I do it feels as if it's less than half." Gohan looked down dejectedly.

Goku shook his own head and thought to Gohan "Listen I know that it feels as if Cell has weakened you but to be honest your own doubt is sapping your strength. Look I know that the situation seems pretty scary right now but I am confident that you have just enough power for a final Kamehameha to take him out."

Gohan's eyes narrowed as he looked down at his only good arm before clenching it into a fist. "Okay then…I'll try my hardest." Gohan growled out.

"That's my boy, make Cell pay for all of the horrible things he had done. Look inside of yourself. It's there you'll find the power that you need."

"Yes, YES!" Gohan shouted before surging his Ki around his body once more. He then started to channel it all into his right hand while bringing it behind him.

"KAAA…MEEE…HAAA…MEEE..."

Cell saw what Gohan was doing and only grinned evilly. "Yes boy, that's more like it." His eyes shifted down to the energy that was forming between his palms and he could only laugh. "I've built up enough power to destroy not just the Earth, but the entire solar system!" Cell said in a jolly tone. Cell's attack glowed even brighter than before signaling that it had reached its peak in power, making Cell grin.

"TIME TO DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!" Cell screamed before releasing his Solar Kamehameha at Gohan. Gohan saw the attack head towards him and grew even more determined to finish this monster once and for all. Throwing his body forward he clenched his right arm and thrusted it outwards, palm open.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan himself unleashed his Father-Son Kamehameha Wave and was on a collision course with Cell's own attack.

"Oh no! The attack's too big! We have to get out of here!" Krillin, another Z-fighter yelled to the others. They flew away as fast as they could to a safer distance but it didn't seem to matter once both Kamehameha Waves clashed with each other. The shocked wave from the intense amount of energy could literally be felt all over the whole planet. Out of all the warriors present Goku was the only one who stood firm and looked onto the final battle, only thinking about Gohan.

'Come on son, I know that you can do this.' He thought but he could still feel Gohan's energy start to waver.

Gohan was having a hard time trying to finish this fight. His energy was rapidly decreasing and having to hold the wave with one arm was really hard to do. Even though he was surprised with the amount of energy that he had just released he still didn't know if he would be able to finish Cell off.

"Hehehe, make it easier on yourself boy. Just lay and die!" Cell said before pumping more energy into his attack, pushing Gohan back a bit.

"GRRRRRRRGH!" Gohan grunted as he started to lose the struggle. Goku saw this and grit his teeth. He closed his eyes and started to talk to Gohan telepathically again.

'Gohan push yourself, past your limits! Listen, Gohan you're still not using all of your power! GO FOR IT! C'MON!"

Gohan gained his resolve back and pushed his hardest against Cell, evening out the struggle again. "Farewell kid! You're dead!" Cell said about to charge up his energy again. He was blasted by a massive blast to the head making him lose both his footing and concentration. He looked back to see Vegeta floating in the air looking tired. He probably had just used the last of his energy in that attack.

'NOW GOHAN, DO IT NOOOOOW!' Gohan's mind was blank for a couple seconds before charging up the last of his Ki.

'I can do this. I can do this!' He chanted in his head, with a mighty yell he thrusted his whole body forward releasing all of the hidden energy that he had. Cell immediately felt Gohan's power rocket through the roof and surpass his own. He looked back towards the fight and realized that he was losing the pressure on both of the attacks.

"NOOO! YOU CANNOT KILL ME! I AM THE PERFECT BEING! THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE! I REFUSE TO BE BEATEN!" Even with his new power Cell still knew that it wasn't enough, not when Gohan's power was currently higher than his own. So he used a last resort move. From mental and physical memory and the power of his cell's the so called 'perfect being' charged his blast with all of the energy from the abilities of the other fighters. Frieza, Vegeta, Piccolo, Goku, you name it. Not only did his power shoot up but his Kamehameha had started to shift into a variety of colors, making it a big tie-die blast. Gohan and all of the other Z-fighters were surprised at how Cell was using the skills of everyone's energy to overtake the young Saiyan child. Gohan only narrowed his eyes as he knew that he could not afford to lose. There were too many things at stake riding on the battle.

'No I can't lose! I…refuse to let him hurt my friends anymore! Dad, mom, Piccolo, everyone…I'LL PROTECT ALL OF YOU, EVEN IF I HAVE TO GIVE MY LIFE TO DO IT!'

Gohan Ki started to surge around him again but instead of being golden it was purpleish-red in color. His beam started to grow and glow with more power, before his body started to become covered in the aura. "KAIO-KEN!" He 's Ki erupted in power and so did his Kamehameha that was now matching Cell's again. The Z-fighters can only stare in amazement at Gohan using the Kaio-ken technique, which looked mega amplified with Gohan being a Super Saiyan 2.

"Amazing, such power." Trunks said. He watched as Vegeta had floated down back to them completely tired from expending so much energy. He still managed to stand and watch with his mouth agape.

"That's…its unreal." Krillin said in an amazed tone still not believing what he was seeing.

Piccolo looked at Goku who could only give a proud smile. "Goku you taught Gohan your Kaio-ken ability?"

Goku nodded to him. "Yep. I figured that he might need an extra edge if Super Saiyan wasn't either available or enough. From both the training in the Time Chamber and him fighting against Cell I knew that he would need a lot of work in controlling his energy, before he can become this new level of Super Saiyan whenever he wanted. So I taught him the Kaio-ken to make up for it."

"But if he knew the Kaio-ken then why didn't he use if earlier?" Piccolo asked Goku who was still looking at the immense beam struggle.

"Remember that the Kaio-ken puts a strain on the body. We've both trained to the point where it's not extremely noticeable but if it's used multiple times or it's amplified in power it will show. I guess that Gohan didn't want to chance the risk in his fight with Cell." Piccolo only looked back at Gohan with shock. He couldn't help but smile at how far the boy has come. It felt like only yesterday he was training a 5 year old brat that cried all the time, and had no idea about fighting. Now it's like he was looking at a whole new fighter all together. The student surpassing the master.

'Gohan, I'm proud to have been the teacher to a fighter as great as you. You really have come a long way. I never would have imagined that you would be the one fighting the good fight while we stand on the sidelines. I guess that I know how you felt all those times way back when, when the situation was reversed. C'mon kid, I know that you can do this.'

Gohan and Cell were putting everything that they had into their energy beams that were rapidly still increasing in size. Both felt their energy drop as soon as they both used their power up's. If one were to look closer at the waves they would be able to see the attacks star to mingle with each other instead of pushing against each other. The tie-die blast fused with the slightly darker blue Kamehameha shocking the respective attackers. No one could have predicted what came next. The fused beams started to react with the others opposing energy but both were not able to cope, with Cell's multiple energies in one while the other was from the unusual enhancing energy that the Kaio-ken produced. In that split second the blast's imploded causing an explosion that looked to be more fatal then anything a nuke could ever do.

"WHAT!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IIIMPOOOOOOOSSSSIIIBLEEEEEEEE!" Cell yelled as he was consumed by the blast, no doubt eradicating him from existence. The Z-Fighters had to fly a little ways back to not get caught in the explosion that was worse than when the two Kamehameha Waves first clashed. It felt as if the whole planet was going to crumble apart any minute now. The light from the explosion started to die down before fading completely. The Z-Fighters took their arms away from their eyes to shield them from the blinding light that was produced from the explosion.

"He…he did it! Gohan did it! I don't sense Cell's power at all!" Krillin cheered before touching ground near the crater that was made. It looked as if the moon had tried to crash land into the planet.

"Yeah, who would have thought that the kid would have it in him?" Yamcha said as Tien stood next to him. "I know right? He's Goku's son alright." He said.

"Wait something's wrong?" Goku said. Everyone besides Piccolo looked at him in confusion.

"Goku what are you talking about? Cell's finally been destroyed! I don't sense his energy anymore, and I'm pretty sure that he won't be able to recover from an explosion like that." Trunks said to Goku who still had his eyes completely narrowed.

Piccolo stepped forward and said, "Yes that dandy and all, but can anyone sense Gohan's energy?" Everyone's eyes widened at that. They were so busy rejoicing in Cell's death that they haven't noticed that they didn't see Gohan anywhere. They all tried to sense for his energy but couldn't pick up even a spark of it.

"No…no way. It can't be." Yamcha said in complete shock. Krillin fell to his knees in sadness while Piccolo grit his teeth. Yamcha at everyone and said "You mean to tell me that Gohan was blown away by the explosion to? No, he's…he's just a kid!"

Trunks looked dejected at loosing Gohan a second time. It didn't set well for the young prince, having to watch as his best friend was killed again and he couldn't do a thing about it. He looked at Goku but the older Saiyan looked calm. Sadness was still seen in his eyes but he still looked calm, which made Trunks a little angry.

"Goku how can you just stand there and act so relaxed? Your son just died! How come you're acting like it isn't such a big deal!" Goku sighed as he understood why Trunks was so angry. He was actually a little disappointed in himself for acting even the slightest bit impassive but he didn't see why he shouldn't.

"Don't forget guys even if Gohan has died we still have the Dragonballs. We can wish him back to life with Shenron." Goku said and immediately everyone's spirits were lifted up.

Krillin jumped to his feat and said, "Hey yeah that's right! I can't believe that we've forgotten about that!"

Trunks sighed in relive and felt as if a huge weight had just been removed from his shoulders. "I've forgotten that we could use the Dragonballs. I guess that I'm still getting use to the fact that they exist in this timeline." Trunks looked down at the ground dejectedly. "Sorry about yelling before Goku, I just…just can't bear the thought of having to watch my best friend just die on me again."

Goku walked over to Trunks and placed a hand on his shoulder. Trunks looked up to see Goku's famous 'Son grin' that he was known for. "Hey, don't worry about it Trunks. I'm pretty sure that your Gohan is very proud at what you have done so far. It's better to remember our loved ones for who they were and to carry on our memories of them. Not live in the bad ones."

Trunks nodded in understanding before Goku hovered a few feet in the air. "Well now that that's settled let's head to the Lookout and summon the Dragon." He took off towards Dende's Lookout with everyone in tow eager to bring back the new savior of the Earth from the other world. Still they could only wonder what was happening to Gohan right now. If only they knew.

Digital World

With Naruto:

Naruto scrunched his face as he felt sunlight hit his eyelids. He covered his eyes with his arm and slowly sat up, holding his head. "Ugh, where…where the heck am I?" He said feeling really, really disoriented. He rubbed his eyes as he tried to remember what happened last night, as if he was suffering from a terrible hangover.

"The last thing I remember if Kakashi-sensei trapping those, what were…what were they called…ROOT? Yeah, that's it. He trapped them in some barrier thing and there was that wired Sharingan. Next thing I know I'm trapped in that thing and…" Naruto's eyes shot open while his body shot up. He was on his feet in no time as he looked around at where he was.

It seemed that he was still in the forest though for some reason the tree's seemed…bigger? Bigger in both length and width. Looking on the ground he saw plants that didn't at all look native to the ones that he was use to seeing either.

"Wait, I don't have time to be thinking about stuff like that! I need to go to the village and find sensei!" Turning to one of the trees Naruto ran up the tree to the lowest branch and started to hop from branch to branch. For some of the trees they didn't have branches so he had to use his Chakra to stick to them before jumping off again. For a few minutes he was traveling like this but was keeping his senses alert so he wouldn't get jumped by any more of those ROOT bozos. Looking ahead his saw a cliff-side and started to head towards but that made Naruto wonder.

"How is there a cliff-side in the forest? Maybe it's a hill or something."

When Naruto arrived to the designated area he looked down at the long drop from what he first thought was a cliff. He thought, 'Nope, definitely a cliff.' He looked out into the distance and was able to make out what seemed to be a large village. It wasn't the Leaf Village but it the place seemed more in tune with being hidden in the forest than Naruto's home, though it was still clearly visible. "Where in the hell am I for this to be here?' A large crash interrupted Naruto's thoughts as he looked to the left to see one of those huge tree's start to fall down.

"AAAAHHH SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME!"

Naruto heard a cry for help but didn't know where it was coming from. It sounded like that of a little boy. "Who was that just now?" He saw the tree fall on its side with the majority of it hanging off the edge of the cliff.

"PLEASE SOMEONE ANYONE, GET ME DOWN FROM HERE! DRACO, DRACO WHERE ARE YOU?! I'M SCARED DRACO!"

Naruto looked at the end of the tree and saw the strangest creature in his entire life. It looked like some mini purple puff ball or something. It had four legs with white at the end, had white fur around the mouth and looked to be about 3 to 4 inches tall. It had slim pointed ears and a tail and was hanging on for dear life by its forepaws. It was slowly slipping down the tree leaving scratch marks in the bark.

"Oh no, it needs help." Naruto said no longer caring about trying to figure out what it was or that it could talk. 'Maybe it's a summoning animal or something. Maybe this Draco guy it keeps calling for is its summoner.' Naruto dashed forward to the tree that was starting to tilt over the edge making the creature yell in terror. Naruto managed to jump onto the tree surprising the little ball of fur.

"(Gasp) It can't be…you're a…" Its sentence was cut off as the tree fell over the edge of the cliff making the creature scream some more, as tears started to fall from its eyes. "PLEASE MR. HUMAN YOU HAVE TO HELP ME! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I'M SCARED!" Naruto saw the little…uh…well it was a boy that he knew for sure. He saw the little boy cry his eyes out which immediately put him into protector mode. Sticking to the falling tree with his Chakra he made a mad leap to the little creature and grabbed him, holding him close to his chest. When the tree flipped over Naruto attached his self to it again and waited until he was level height with the trees below. When he was he jumped off of the falling tree as it made a loud crash destroying even more trees. Naruto started to rebound from tree to tree until he safely landed on the ground. Breathing a sigh of relief he looked down at the little furry animal thing in his hands and saw that it was still crying although silently.

"Hey, hey enough with that. Look you're okay now: you don't have to keep crying." The little puffball look up at Naruto with still watery eyes as it used it's forelegs to wipe his eyes.

"I…I'm sorry mister. I didn't mean to cry." It said as it turned its head in sadness. Naruto shook his head and said,

"Hey look you were scared. You actually thought that you were going to kick the bucket for a second there so I can understand why you would start crying, kid." The creature jumped out of Naruto's hands and glared at him which by the way looked kind of adorable.

"Don't call me a kid, human. My name is Dorimon and I'm able to take care of myself." he pouted.

Naruto just smirked. "You act like a kid, you sound like a kid and I'm pretty sure that you complain like a kid. So you are a kid, kid." The little quadruped's face grew red as he couldn't take Naruto calling him a kid. He took in a big breath of air confusing Naruto.

"Metal Drop!" Dorimon spat out a ball of metal at an unprepared Naruto nailing him in the face and making him fall over. Dorimon started to laugh loudly at seeing Naruto on the ground in pain. Naruto got up with a huge red mark on his face and glared daggers at Dorimon who was still laughing.

"What the hell was that for, kid? Is that how you say thank you to the guy that saved your life you little brat!?" Dorimon stopped laughing and glared at Naruto as well.

"Look human I already told you what my name was. And I'm pretty sure that if I had enough time I could have thought of a way to get out of that mess myself!" He shouted. Naruto growled and stomped his foot on the ground.

"Please! Did you see the way you were balling your eyes out you little crybaby? If I wasn't there you would have been a goner, so next time try to be a little more thankful damn it! And by the way my name is Naruto!" He yelled making Dorimon cringe.

At the mention of being called a baby Dorimon instantly stopped glaring at Naruto. He laid on the ground put his front legs over his face and started to silently cry to himself. Naruto wondered why Dorimon stated to cry again and felt bad that he was the one that caused it this time. He may be an annoying kid but he was still just a kid.

"It's like taking care of Inari all over again." Naruto mumbled to himself. He got down on his knees in front of Dorimon and started to pet him. He hated seeing kid's cry 'cause he mainly didn't know what to do. He could just tell the little furball to just suck it up and be a man but Naruto got the feeling that would only make things worse.

"Hey Dorimon…I'm sorry about yelling at you, like that. See I just had a bunch of crazy stuff happen to me earlier and I have no idea where I am or anything. I didn't mean to make you cry or anything, okay." Dorimon listened to Naruto and started to wipe his tears away with his little paws which Naruto still thought was a little bit cute.

"I'm…not crying about being yelled at. I get yelled at all the time, so I'm use to it." Naruto looked confused for a minute. "Then what-"

"I was sad because you called me a crybaby. The other Digimon in my village always call me a weakling and a crybaby. They all pick on me or say mean things or that I mess stuff up and will only cause trouble if I'm around them. So they all keep their distance from me. I don't know why but it's always been that way. I don't have any friends except for my older brother. He's a Dracomon and he always protects me and plays with me. We live by ourselves because our parents were deleted but I don't remember because I was still in a Digi-Egg. Draco was young so he doesn't remember much either. Since then he's been acting like the parent and was providing for the both of us, but he always put me first. He's the only family that I have left. If something were to happen to him, I don't know what I would do."

Naruto felt guilty now that he had heard Dorimon's heart wrenching story. He could easily relate to everything that Dorimon has gone through except the family part. It seemed that they were kindred spirits in a way.

"Hey, listen Dorimon, I know exactly how you feel." Dorimon looked up at Naruto in interest as the young ninja sat cross legged on the ground. Dorimon jumped into Naruto's lap and listened to what he had to say. "You see you and me are the same in a lot more ways than you think. A while back I was in the same boat as you. Unlike you I didn't have a family. The people of my village hated me for something I didn't know about and I never had any friends, either. The adults would tell their kids to stay away from me and tell them that I was a bad influence. I was kicked out of places so it was hard to get food and clothes but I managed to get by. People would glare at me all day and everyday at night I would cry myself to sleep, always asking myself 'Why? Why me? What did I do to them, to make them hate me?'"

Dorimon was mesmerized by Naruto's story as he felt that he had finally had a connection with someone. It was like a bond that was different than the one he and Draco shared. It wasn't a bad feeling in the slightest, he just couldn't describe it.

"But you want to know what changed all of that? One day I thought 'No more!' and I decided to stand up for myself. I started to play pranks so that people would get to notice me, and I strive'd for a goal so that people would respect me. I want to become the leader of my village, the Hokage. I started to make friends and eventually after trying really hard the villagers started to see me as 'me' instead of some sort of beast." Naruto looked at Dorimon and said "Dorimon you can do it too because deep down I can tell that you are very strong. You just need to start believing in yourself and I'm sure that you can do anything."

Dorimon could not believe what he was hearing. The little Digimon actually felt his confidence jump to new heights as Naruto was giving him the pep talk of a life time. He started to shed a few tears of happiness instead of sadness and said, "Thank you Naruto…thank so much. Does…does this make us…friends?"

Naruto laughed and said,"Yeah this makes us friends…best friends!" Naruto exclaimed.

Dorimon hugged Naruto as tight as he could his little body. With Naruto returning the hug softly. Not even after 5 seconds of hugging a bright light had shone over Naruto's head making the two of them look up at it. Curious Naruto reached for the light and had felt something in his grasp. When the light stopped he brought it to his face and looked at it. It was a device that was light purple on the front and white everywhere else. It was in a vertical style rectangle except the bottom was bent a bit inward. There was a rounded point at the top of the device that had 5 tiny metal balls embedded into it. It had a square screen below it with three grey colored slim buttons in the middle, on the rim of a white circle. At the bottom there was a black square clip which made it so that it was attachable. Turning the device around Naruto found a small black circular screen at the top.

While Naruto was busy examining the strange trinket Dorimon's eyes were widened in extreme shock and happiness. "Naruto…do…do you have any idea what this is?" Naruto looked down at Dorimon and showed him the device. "No clue, why do you know?"

Dorimon hopped out of Naruto's lap and started to prance around him. "Yaaaay, I can't believe it. I have a Tamer! I have my very own Tamer! I can't believe this! Now I'm going become big and strong just like my big brother!"

Naruto stood up and looked at the ever happy in-training Digimon dance around him. "Hey, Dorimon, can you stop for a second?" Dorimon listened to his new tamer and did just as instructed. "Okay I'm really lost about what the hell is going on here. First off what the hell is a tamer and what is this thing? Now that I think about it what's a Digimon?"

Dorimon's eye's shot open again at hearing what Naruto just said. Everyone in the human world knows about Digimon, and it seemed weird that Naruto didn't know. "Naruto, how can you not know what a Digimon is? Everyone human knows about Digimon, like how everyone in the Digital World knows about humans."

Naruto scrunched his eyebrows and said, "Digital World? Where the hell is that? Is that your home or something?"

Dorimon sighed and shook his head. "Wow, you really are clueless aren't you?"

Naruto growled at the comment. "Hey it's not my fault that I have no idea what you're talking about. Digimon, Tamers, Digital World, Human World and then there's this thing!" Naruto gestured to the device in his hands. "You're not speaking any sense at all, so can you explain where we are and what you're talking about?"

Dorimon looked at Naruto and realized that he really didn't know anything about Digimon or Tamers at all. It seemed that the blond was hopelessly confused and needed to know the basic of things. Dorimon looked at Naruto and said, "Okay then, you might want to sit down for this. It's going to be a long story." Naruto sat down and so did Dorimon who had his small arms resting on his little body.

"Okay I'm to tell you what my brother told me. The place where you are right now is called the Digital World. This entire world is where Digimon live and coexist with each other. This world and the Digimon are completely made out of data. The word 'Digimon' is short for 'Digital Monster' and they come in a variety of species. We Digimon have the potential to grow and eventually evolve through the process of Digivolution. Digimon have 6 different forms that they start of as and eventually evolve into, starting from the weakest to the strongest. First when a Digimon is born from a Digi-Egg that's its Baby or Fresh stage. When it grows a little bit stronger it evolves into its In-Training stage, like me. After that it is Rookie, then Champion, Ultimate and finally Mega. Digimon mainly get stronger by fighting other Digimon and the winner absorbs the loser's data. That device that you're holding is called a Digivice and I heard that when a human get's one they can choose a Digimon to partner up with. That Digimon is then allowed to go to the human world with its human partner or 'Tamer' as us Digimon call it."

Naruto listened intently to his so called partner as he spoke. Even though he could never follow long speeches this one really intrigued him and he was sure that he would be interested to know about what was going on and where he was. Something in his mind clicked and he asked, "Wait, so this isn't the Elemental Nations or anything? Well if I'm not there then where is it? I have to get back home!"

"Up there." Dorimon said looking up at the sky. Naruto followed his gaze and he couldn't believe what he saw. It looked like Earth. It looked oddly fuzzy and had some kind of pink lights shining from it, but they seemed to touch everywhere else except the center of the forest which looked pretty large.

"You're…you're saying THAT thing is my home?" Naruto said pointing up at the holographic ball. Dorimon nodded and said, "Yep, that's the human world." He looked at Naruto and said, "Hey, do you mind if I introduce you to my brother, back in my village? He's going to be so proud when I show him that I'm a chosen Digimon!"

Naruto chuckled at the ecstatic little Digimon and said, "Sure, I don't mind. Let's go find him."

Dorimon nodded and jumped onto Naruto's head getting cozy in all of his blond hair. "I bet that Draco's going to be so jealous when he finds out." When an explosion sounded off in the distance Dorimon had yelped and started to shiver. Naruto had jumped up into the trees and landed on the tree tops. He could see smoke coming from the village that he saw earlier and a giant orange dinosaur Digimon with armor and purple wings seemed to be attacking it.

"Oh no, it's a MetalGreymon! An Ultimate level Digimon!" Dorimon yelled in shock.

Naruto looked at the destruction that the Digimon was causing and said, "What the hell is wrong with it? Why is it attacking your home like that?"

"Most times Digimon just do it so that they can try and absorb other Digimon data to try and become stronger. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on right now." Dorimon said.

"Yeah, well we're not gonna stand here and just let him do this! Hold on tight Dorimon, this is going to be a bumpy ride." Naruto said getting into a crouch.

Dorimon did as he was told and watched as Naruto started to hop from tree to tree at incredible speed surprising the young Digimon. 'Wow…I didn't know that humans could do this. Is that how he saved me earlier?' Dorimon shook his head. 'I don't have time to think about that, I need to go and help my home. Please Draco, be safe.'

With Gohan:

Gohan was really confused as to what was going on. One minute he was having the toughest fight of his life battling against Cell and the next he winds up waking up and wandering around in a forest. He was pretty sure that from where the Cell Games were being held the nearest forest was a couple hundred miles away. He found that it was bigger than the ones that surrounded his home, on Mt. Paozu.

"Just where in the world am I, and how did I get here? Did I die in that blast after all, and this is someplace in Other World?" Gohan looked up but did not see a halo over his head to signify that he was dead.

"This is really confusing." Gohan rubbed the back of his head but winced as he remembered that was the arm that had gotten blasted by Cell. The most threatening of his scares was already starting to heal thanks to his Saiyan bloods faster than average healing capabilities. He must have been out for a couple of hours since his body was already healed this much.

"I wish that I can say the same for my energy. The Kaio-ken plus that new Super Saiyan form really drained me. I don't think that I'll be able to fight at my best without injuring myself even more. I probably don't have enough to do a regular Kaio-ken. I'm gonna have to take it easy for now."

Gohan looked up to find the sun to see what direction he's going. A little trick he learned from those six months living in the wilderness all those years ago. He couldn't see a thing because the many leaves on the tall trees were blocking his view of the sky.

"Huh, guess I got to go up." Breathing lightly the young Saiyan used his energy to lightly push himself off the ground and flew up past the branches. What he saw surprised him. Instead of the sun he found a big blue pixelated ball that looked a lot like Earth. It had many pink beams that touched the ground around the far edges of the forest and they seemed to move as well.

"What…what in the world is that?" Gohan said incredibly perplexed. He shook his head and levitated to one of the many branches that were on the tree that he was standing on.

"Okay, I'm lost in a completely unknown location and I need to find my way back home. I don't even know if I'm on Earth anymore at all. Hopefully if I'm lucky I can find some people around here and I can ask them about this place."

Gohan jumped from the branch and landed in a crouch to lessen the impact. His legs felt a little tingly from not being completely healed but they didn't hurt at all, so he figured that it was okay to run instead of walk.

"Okay then, let's go." Gohan took off at a pace that seemed impossible to normal humans but he wasn't a normal human. Well he was half but the other half was alien. In case there were people around Gohan had made sure that he went slow enough to not pass any person he might find. He ran for about five minutes weaving through trees, bushes and avoiding obstacles like fallen trees and branches along with large swarms of vines.

'It doesn't even seem like I'm going anywhere. Everything looks the same in this place,' Gohan thought. He was ready to see if his body was well enough for some high speed flying but was interrupted, by something.

"HEY, MOVE IT!" Gohan heard someone shout and turned his head to the side to see who it was. Instead he crashed into the person that must have been running as well to make him get knocked back the way he did. Gohan groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head.

'Not the best way to introduce yourself, but at least I found somebody to point me in the right direction.' Looking up Gohan did a slight double take on the other person, who wasn't a person at all. It was some kind of greenish-slightly blue dragon with red horns, eyes and wings. Its tail was long and thick and it had a cream colored stomach. On each of its hands were three fingers with really sharp claws and its feet had three huge and sharp claws.

'A dragon?! Well I can say that I didn't expect that.' Gohan thought as the dragon sat up and rubbed its forehead. "Hey you idiot, why don't you watch where the hell you're going?" It said in a very rude tone. The dragon stood up and when his eyes landed on Gohan he looked shocked. "What the…"

Gohan stood up and said, "Wow, I didn't know that you can talk. I mean I met a lot of talking animals before but never a dragon." Gohan in actuality met three dragons, Icarus, Shenron and Porunga. But Shenron and Porunga were magical wish granting dragons so it didn't really count, for having the ability to talk. "Can I ask you something?"

The dragon didn't really take into account what Gohan had said. He was still thinking about the fact that he was actually meeting a real live human. A human, was in the Digital World.

'But how and why is he here? I thought that human's couldn't enter the Digital World…unless he's a… could this boy possibly be a Tamer? But then who is his Digimon?' He shook his head and thought, 'I do not have time to ponder this. I need to find where Dori had run off to. He get's him self into serious trouble when he's alone and I have to make sure that he's okay.'

Gohan was looking at the odd dragon as he was just gazing at him with his mouth slightly open, revealing his incredibly sharp fangs. It was looking like Gohan was some sort of alien or something. 'Either that or he's probably never seen a human before,' Gohan thought. Since it didn't seem like what he had said gotten through he decided to ask the dragon again.

"Hey, did you hear me?" This time his words seemed to have gotten through to the blue-green creature, if it shaking its head was anything to go by. "Sorry about running into you like that but I just needed to find somebody so to talk to because I'm a little lost. First off my name is Gohan and I…" Gohan was caught off by the little dragon talking in a slightly gruff male voice. "Listen, I don't know how a human had managed to get here but I don't have time to get sidetracked. I'm looking for somebody and I need to hurry and find him."

The dragon started to walk away but stopped when Gohan ran in front of him. He slightly growled in the back of his throat and closed his eyes. "Do you mind? I already told you that I can't have any distractions right now."

Gohan saw how close he was to the dragon and backed up a bit from him considering how tall he was. Gohan was always a little tall for an 11 year old but the creature at its full height came up to the top of his chest. Well it did without the horns.

"Again I'm sorry about getting in your way but you seem like the only one here who can help me. Please I promise that this will only take a few minutes at the most." Gohan pleaded with the dragon hopping that he would hear him out. The dragon groaned loudly and rubbed his forehead with both of his paws, in irritation. He dragged them down his face and looked Gohan in the eyes, while crossing his arms.

"Fine, but only a few minutes and that's it. I already told you I can't waste a lot of time." Gohan's eyes lit up and he nodded his head in thanks.

"Thank you! I appreciate the help…uh…" The young Saiyan laughed a little and smiled. "Now that I think about it, I didn't really catch your name."

"It's Dracomon, but I always just go by Draco. Now hurry up, and get on to saying what you have to say." This time he spoke in a nonchalant tone, even though the word play was still rude. Gohan cleared his throat and spoke.

"Well first where exactly am I? Where or what is this place? Is this Earth or not?" Draco had risen at what would have been an eyebrow at Gohan's question. 'He doesn't know where he is? He must not be a Tamer after all, but if not then how did he get here?'

Draco ceased his thoughts and said, "Listen, uh, Gohan was it? Pay attention because I'm only going to explain this once." Gohan nodded and knew that he wouldn't have a problem doing that. His mother tutored him so much that she actually did listening exercises like these until he could perfectly recite what she had said to him. And boy could the woman talk.

"Okay, listen closely. The place that you are in right now is known as the Digital World. It's a world that is completely comprised of nothing but data. Anything that gives off an electrical or digital current will get sent here. This world in completely devoid of any human life but that doesn't mean it's barren. We have our own forms of life here in the form of Digimon. We Digimon populate the Digital World and live amongst one another. I too am a Digimon, and like I said my species name is called Dracomon. Although us of the Dracomon evolutionary chain are rarely found. Your home is that big blue ball of pulsating data that's in the sky. I'm pretty sure that you have seen it earlier."

Gohan nodded, still not believing that he was blasted to a different world. The experience was totally different from Namek which was millions of light years away and he took off in a spaceship. This time he was literally blasted into a different world and had a perfect view of his home from here.

"So what do you mean by Dracomon evolutionary chain? Are you saying that your people can transform into other beings?" Gohan asked, while Dracomon closed his eyes as he explained.

"In a way, yes. It's the process of Digivolution. When a Digimon becomes strong enough they will have the potential to Digivolve and transform into a stronger form of itself. Every Digimon can perform this but the conditions are not always the same. Real power has a different meaning for everyone. The thing is there are many power hungry Digimon out there who is willing to do anything, and I mean anything to get stronger."

"What are some of the way's Digimon can get stronger? Is Digivolving all they care about?" Gohan asked getting really interested about this mysterious world. It may have sounded a little dangerous but that was part of the fun of exploring. It was also like one of those cool Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies that his mother tells him are bad to watch. Say's that they 'Rot the brain from the inside out.' Dracomon shook his head and sighed. "You know you ask a lot of questions kid. One more and then I'm going to have to leave you to your own devices."

Gohan nodded in understanding and listened intently. "A good portion of Digimon mainly only care about Digivolving, just wanting to get power for power's sake. The most common thing is for two or more Digimon to do battle then when the loser is destroyed the winner absorbs its data. But the thing practically every Digimon strives for is to find a Tamer."

Gohan was about to ask what that meant but Dracomon spoke first. "If you must know a Tamer is a human that partners up with a Digimon and helps that Digimon to become stronger than practically any other Digimon. That Digimon will also be able to leave the Digital World and go to the Human World. But the main thing is a Tamer will be able to easily strengthen their Digimon partner so they can Digivolve when ever they want to. That's why I think that you should be careful wondering around this place because any Digimon would jump at the chance for you to be their Tamer. And with you being a human you wouldn't be able to protect yourself."

Gohan smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know about that. I'd like to consider myself a really experienced fighter." Draco scoffed and turned around.

"Now if that's all you need I'll be heading off now. I wasted enough time as it is and I need to find him." Gohan held out his hand to stop Draco as if he could see it.

"Wait one more question. How do I get home and who are you looking for?"

Draco was silent for a few seconds before replying. "Actually that was two questions put into one Gohan. But if you must know I suggest partnering up with a Digimon so you both can find a way to get back to the Human World. It would also provide you with protection. As for whom I am looking for…" Gohan saw Dracomon close his paws into fists.

"I'm looking for my little brother, Dori. He ran off again from our village and I'm incredibly worried about him. I remember there was once a time where I couldn't protect him at all and I regretted that day ever since. Whenever he leaves my sight I get paranoid that he might be in some form of danger and he needs my help. I can't explain it but I can just feel when he's in great distress somehow. I just…I just want to be able to protect him, and I would be completely devastated if I had lost him."

Gohan felt moved at how convicted Draco was to protecting his brother, and amazed at the bond that Draco had with him. To be so close that they can practically feel what they the other was feeling shows just how close their relationship was, just like how Gohan was with his father. 'I wonder what it would be like if I had a little brother.' Gohan thought, not realizing how incredibly accurate that foreshadowing was. Gohan walked up to Draco and put a hand on his shoulder, making the Digimon look up at him.

"I know how you feel Draco. You know there was once a time where I was feeling like how you described. I wasn't able to protect my friends because I was either to scared or weak to help them. I felt disappointed in myself because I felt that I've been letting them down my whole life. But when the time came I channeled that feeling of regret and made it my strength, which gave me the power to protect everyone that was close to me. I'm pretty sure that you can do it too with how much you care for your brother."

Dracomon was speechless at Gohan's little story. What a coincidence that the first human that he's ever met once felt the exact same way that he was feeling. The 'turning your regret into strength' was kind of new, as he never heard of power being acquired that way.

Draco smirked and said, "You know you're a strange human. But I guess I'm starting to like that little trait."

Gohan laughed and said, "Sure, and if it helps I'll help look for your brother with you."

Dracomon nodded his head. "I'll take as much help as I can get, if it means finding him quicker."

RRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRR!

Gohan jumped a little at the sudden massive roar that seemed to have come out of nowhere. He looked up and saw a massive figure fly over head but couldn't see because of the tree leaves. Draco ran to the closest tree and started to jump all the way up until he was all the way up. Gohan jumped after him wanting to know what that noise was as well. He reached the top surprising Dracomon a little but turned back to the source of the noise. What they saw made their jaws drop slightly. It was a giant orange dinosaur with armor covering his chest and head with a giant firearm on its right arm. It was flying over head with its six purple yet ripped looking wings towards what seemed to be a village.

'Probably Dracomon's home, but what Digimon is that?' Gohan thought.

"Oh no, it's a MetalGreymon! It's heading straight towards the village! They won't be able to withstand and attack from an Ultimate level Digimon!" Draco screamed. Gohan looked towards the flying Digimon and knew that it was going to be tough to bring that thing down, with most of his power still not up to par.

"We have to go and help them, Draco." Gohan said. Draco turned to Gohan with a worried look in his eyes.

"But…but what about Dori? We can't just leave him all alone somewhere." Gohan put another hand on Draco's shoulder and said, "I'm sure that he's going to know what's happening at the village and find his way here. Your emotions seem to be linked, so hopefully he'll be able to sense your distress just like you and sense his. And if not I'm pretty sure that it would be hard to miss a giant flying orange dinosaur. Come on we don't have anytime to waste."

Draco nodded and stood up. "Hope you can keep up with me, because I'm not slowing down for anything. Even if you fall I'm still going to leave you." Gohan laughed a little and said, "Don't worry about me. Just focus on what's important. We need to stop MetalGreymon from hurting all of those people."

Draco nodded and started to hop from tree to tree with Gohan in tow every step of the way. The only thing on Gohan's mind was, 'I can never catch a break can I?'

---

Holy Fucking Shit. This took weeks to do but I finally managed to post it. Yes, (Growling) God i'ma fuckin' beast! You all thought that I was just sittin' on my ass weren't you? Hell no! I was working on this shit. Over 18,000 words and 45 pages but I did it, now the rest is going to fall into place. If you were wondering about a few things Naruto and Gohan both are receiving 'Digimon Data Squad' Digivices (Data-Links) instead of D-Arcs. I'll explain that part next chapter so you're going to have to wait. Since it's not going to be as long as this one the wait will not be long.

I wanted Naruto to have a unique way about getting sent into a different world instead of that Final Valley Explosion. His new jutsu will be revealed too. Gohan...i'm pretty sure that a few people did it but at least I was creative. For their partners I believe that Naruto and Dorumon are completely inseparable partners and Renamon is used a bit too much just because she's a fox. With Dracomon and Gohan well Dracomon was never used and I wanted to see what kind of chaos I can create with him and Gohan tagging along.

Quick side note I have something special planned for both Dorumon and Dracomon but again it's in the next chapter. I got this idea from the epic NarutoXDigimon crossover 'Digital Ninja.' The idea's not mine but I am going to modify it with my story.

And yes. I know there really is no Civilian Council. I know that it's just the Hokage and the Hokage's advisers (Koharu, Hamura, Danzo) but who cares? As long as you make it so that the C.C. are only concerned with the civilian problems with no care or knowledge about shinobi things then incorporating them, or even Clan Heads, is no major issue. Just don't have them doing dumb shit JUST because..well, I don't even have a reason for that. Heh.

So rest in pieces and see you later!
