I had the oddest idea to do a Naruto/DBZ crossover. How the heck did that happen. I haven't watched DBZ in years. I hope you all enjoy.
Rock The Dragon
By SageModeSasuke
The chunin exams were upon them and Jiraiya of the Legendary Sanin had taken to a young boy named Uzumaki Naruto after Naruto, having no idea who this shinobi was boldly and confidently stood up to him in trying to preserve the honor of the women in the women's bath house. What Uzumaki did not realize was that this lecherous old man in red with the white hair was actually his secret godfather. With the Hokage's permission Naruto was taken away from the village for what was meant to be a month of intense training as Naruto's sensei was busy training his brooding teammate and rival, Uchiha Sasuke. His substitute sensei turned out to respect this 'lord Jiraiya' so much that Naruto all but insisted to be trained by him. Jiraiya agreed, and took Naruto far away from the village as as he knew about his inner prisoner and did not want to chance that prisoner being freed and reeking havoc upon a non suspecting Konoha.
Naruto learned a lot of things from the old pervert in his time with him, but it was not to turn out as a happy family reunion as they were attacked three weeks into journey by Deidara, Kakuzu, Sasori, and and some other immortal bastard who's name Naruto hadn't caught. By the end of the battle, Sasori, and Deidara were dead and their compatriots in retreat.
Jiraiya laid dying on the hot green grass with blood gushing out with Naruto doing everything he could to try to save his new sensei's life, but to no avail. Panicking and even crying from the old man being willing to put everything on the line to protect him. A mere genin, but tearing the jacket from his back, placing pressure on his stomach where a scythe had just been embedded moments earlier.
Jiraiya gripped the boys hand and shook his head as he looked up at the blue sky with a smile, then looked at his godson and reluctantly said, "Naruto, don't weep over me. You don't know this, but you were never alone. I might not have been able to stay in the village as much as I would have liked, but I have always watched over you. I am sorry I could not protect you from the pain of what people think you are. Remember these words well Uzumaki Naruto. You are it's container, but you are NOT the Kyuubi no Yoko."
Naruto nods his head quickly and tried to assure the old man that he understood. He knew the old man's time in this world was coming to an end.
"If old man Hiruzen heard me say what I am about to say, he would kill me and not wait for the grim reaper to do his dirty deed. Him being my sensei not being of any consequence. Your mother's name was Uzumaki Kushina, and your father was Namikaze Minato. The Yondaime Hokage!" He coughed out.
Naruto didn't know what to say. He thought the old man might be in the thralls of his impending end, and this was meant for another.
Jiraiya could see what the boy was thinking, and said, "I have two request. One, take my Hitai-ite to Tsunade of the Sanin. She will know what what this means. This scroll too," he says as he hands Naruto his hitai-ite, which has his Konoha one hidden directly behind it. Jiraiya begins trembling as he forced out, "my Konoha one goes to her. She will know it's the real one. This white one is yours."
Naruto then excepted three small scrolls and listened as Jiraiya gave his last order and request as his short time master. Then Jiraiya said, "these scrolls hold powerful ninjutsu that I was eventually going to pass on to you, and they hold secrets to your kage bushin that you may not have realized, but it will help you to become more powerful than even I could have hoped to become, and my chakra is formidable in it's own right. Only my blood can release them, so gather as much as you can. There are instructions to create a new scroll seal using your blood. Study hard. If you go back to Konoha half cocked as I know yo are likely going to be after learning these great truths, you will be locked away as the weapon you were originally meant to be. Locked away until your power is needed. Learn all you can from the scrolls before going back home and facing off against Sarutobi – sensei. He can be a scary bastard. Slightly stronger than me. Or you can leave and be branded a traitor. A missing nin who will be on the run forever. Do you understand me gaki? No. Not gaki. My precious godson Naruto."
"I do Jiraiya – sama," Naruto said with surprising respect.
"Don't start that crap with me. I'm still now and always the super perverted Jiraiya of the Sanin!" He exclaimed while his hacking grew progressively weaker.
Naruto even in his tears could do nothing but allow a small grin as he said, "Sure thing Ero-Sennin."
Jiraiya handed Naruto a small pouch and said, "if you are hurt or you are within a hairs breath of death, take one of these beans. They are better than soldier pills because they refill your ki which is basically the parent to your chakra, and much more potent without the negative side effects. They just might save you. There are forty in here. Separate them, and make sure you always have some available. They are more precious than gold. And before you get any ideas, I waited to tell you about them intentionally until it was too late for me. Now that you know the truth about your parents I would have been executed the moment word got back to sensei and the council.
Eleven year old Naruto bows while on his knees as he accepted the gifts. Jiraiya then indicated for Naruto to bow lower. He placed two fingers on Naruto's forehead protector, his Hitai-ite, and shoved a large chakra bolt into his mind. Normally this would have killed someone, but this bolt was specifically made to transfer knowledge, and experiences. A kinjutsu jutsu, a forbidden technique created and taught to him by the best medical shinobi the world had ever known. Lady Tsunade.
Naruto had passed out from the influx, but soon awoke to his new friend and who he now somehow knew as his true godfather. He looked at his hands, and clenched them tightly as he swore vengeance on Himora Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen. The two who had insisted his ancestry be hidden from him claiming it was for his protection.
Naruto gathered some blood in some of his sample vials from his friend, and then burned his body so shinobi from other lands would not learn the secrets of the one of the most powerful shinobi Konoha had ever produced, not for Konoha herself, but out of respect for his master and godfather. He had words for Hatake Kakashi as well, but he knew that he would not be able to do much. Not against seasoned veterans of shinobi wars. Especially Konoha shinobi.
Naruto raced toward the trees closes to him and set up camp with whatever he could scrounge up from his surrounding. He gathered firewood and nuts and berries along with refilling his canteen with water from a nearby pond before finally settling down to begin his studies.
He used a single precious drop of his sensei's blood to unlock the scroll using the same Kuchiyuse technique he had used to first summon his toad boss Gamabunta. The scroll opened, and Naruto immediately used his own blood per the instructions to seal the knowledge into scrolls linked to his blood in case he loses his master's blood for some reason. He then opens the second scroll which produces four variations to his Kage Bushin no Jutsu which were only mildly different, but he would soon learn how different they actually were. He studied some uses for the Kage bushin that he had never knew and never paid attention to such as retaining the knowledge and experiences of his Kage Bushin. For the next five days Naruto trained non stop on increasing his speed, his taijutsu, his added Ninjutsu arsenal, and was now using B and A class jutsu that most genin would be unable to perform without years of practice as the Kage Bushin allowed him time to cover years worth of training in days. Day in and day out he trained to become the shinobi his godfather knew he could.
Naruto didn't know it, but he was now as powerful as most Elite Jonin of Konoha. The power came fast, but he was still inexperienced which concerned him. He sealed all of his scrolls, and even said good night to his prisoner who only growled back in annoyance at the small kindness.
The next Naruto's clothes were shredded, but he was rested, and down to thirty three of the special beans he inherited from his master. He separated them and placed them in different scrolls, and even tied a few of the smaller ones behind his hitai-ite via the pouch Iruka had sown there.
Naruto placed his hands in a familiar seal when he called out, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
Ten clones knew without a word what to do. They took off to the east back to Konoha as Naruto took off to the south to the last known location of Senju Tsunade-Hime. Konoha royalty being the granddaughter of the Shodaime. The first Hokage.
Naruto traveled day in and day out through sweltering heat, violent rain, and even a freak snow storm, but he did finally reach a casino town where she was said to be spotted. Konoha's 'legendary sucker.'
Naruto was tired, annoyed, and damn livid at what he had to go through to get to the town. He had never done a solo mission outside of the village, and had purchased inaccurate maps. He found the merchant and beat him up until he surrendered a real map. He'd been slapped because he saw a woman naked as she got out of the outdoor hot springs even though it was an accident. He had to demean himself to parlor tricks to earn enough money to eat on, but kept them low key to hide the fact that he was a truly skilled shinobi. And finally, he was jumped by a group of Takagakure shinobi.
He recalled it all, and sighed. He called upon two hundred kage bushin clones, and finally found Tsunade sprawled out on the table at a local bar. Once the clones dispelled he ran to the bar, and as he tried to walk over to her, a beautiful dark haired woman immediately appeared before him. She wore a black kimono with short hair. Had this been any other time he would have just been content with staring at her gorgeous black eyes, but then remembered what he was there for before she had gotten a chance to ask.
"I'm here to speak with the Lady Tsunade. It's urgent," Naruto states plainly.
"Not wearing that you're not, and more importantly, you can't be any more than eleven or twelve. So a genin, or a very young chunin. No vest, so I am leaning toward genin. And no genin would be allowed out this far without a Chunin or a team of genin if it was only a D or possibly C rank mission if you were good enough. "
Naruto quickly losing his patience, and his tattered clothes already a sore spot stated with an edge, "I was traveling with Ero-Senin," but then clarified at her slightly perplexed look, "Jiraiya-Shishou."
The black haired beauty ducked as a bottle was thrown from behind her. Naruto easily caught it and looked directly at the blonde bombshell of a woman whose curves made him for a brief second distracted enough to wish he were a few years older. She was slightly younger than he anticipated, but then he suddenly knew about her age retardation jutsu, but was wise enough not to mention it.
"That's bullshit kid. Jiraiya said he would only ever possibly teach one more person when he became jonin, and you don't look like you are jonin. Now get out of here before I get angry."
"He told me you were stubborn. Fine. I'll prove it!" Naruto yelled out, but without the normal joviality that his personality carried. He motioned to her to step outside which she did as she figured she could be amused for a few minutes and not have an extra bill for having to pay for whatever destruction she was sure was about to ensue.
"How about we spar?" Naruto asked, already being made aware of her monstrous strength. Then adds, "If I win, you go back to Konoha and beat your sensei senseless for keeping my heritage away from me. You will know who I am when you see this. And I want to know that the title of Sanin is in worthy hands before the next step in my journey."
"That's some ego you've got kid. And some balls too. But that won't be enough to stop me. So here's the deal if I win. You give up being a shinobi, and surrender your Hitai-ite. You obviously think you are hot shit. Back it up. And I you give it your all. I want to show a child when to stay in a child's place," she taunted, having the feeling this genin could not resist a chance to test his mettle against her.
She was right.
After the terms were agreed to, and the woman whom Tsunade referred to as her apprentice Shizune was told to move out of the way and to stop interfering, Naruto took off at high speed. Much faster than the speed he had used to evade anbu when he performed pranks only months before. He had gotten within arm's reach, both hands began to glow blue, then spinning orbs appeared in each hand. He shot his arms strait toward her midsection while calling out,
"Kaze rirīsu: De~yuaru rasen maru," (Wind Release: Dual Rasengan) as he slammed in palms into what he assumed was her midsection before he realized that she had used a Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution technique) to replace herself with a log which was instantly drilled through with the power of his newly mastered technique.
Tsunade had seen the jutsu, and decided to push the 'gaki' to his limits and see if he were really worthy of Jiraiya's time and energy. She descended as if from upon a cloud, and Naruto had barely moved out of the way, but still felt the backlash of the kick, as the wind pushed him further back which left him off balance. As Tsunade came in for another attack Naruto had summoned two clones to catch him, and eight more to engage the 'enemy' combatant.
Tsunade knew that the kid was outmatched, but he was no doubt very, very good. He was panting, surprised by her raw speed, and insane power. The she asked, "Ready to concede kid?"
To her surprise, he stood taller, and entered back into his fighting stance stated, "There are two things you should learn about me very quickly. One: I never give up. Two: I never go back on my word. Ever. That is my nindo. My ninja way!"
"I can admire that kid, but you won't be a ninja after this!" She stated as she raced toward him. Naruto bit his finger, drawing the slightest bit of blood which caught Tsunade's eye, and she immediately stops, and is paralyzed by her natural fear of blood.
Naruto sees that she has stopped and thanks kami for what he perceives as her arrogance. He slams his hand to the ground and calls out, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" and a giant toad the size of the tallest building in this city appears in a cloud of smoke. Shizune, and Tsunade looked at him as Naruto sat down on his 'bosses' head.
Gamabunta looks down at Tsunade, and then Shizune and said, "Kid, if I'm being brought in to fight one of the legendary sanin, I will personally kick your ass when this is over."
Tsunade raises her hand once she has regained her composure and directs her statement to the giant toad, "You may leave Gamabunta. You have my word as one of the Sanin and granddaughter of Senju Hashirama that this battle is now over."
"Boss. I owe you some of the best saki I can find when I can afford it," Naruto states smoothly.
"Free saki for just showing up. I suppose I will forgive you this time brat," Gamabunta states before disappearing in a large puff of smoke.
Naruto descends and landed safely. He turned to Tsunade, not really caring if he or she had won. He said simply, "My master asked me to do this one last thing for him... before he passed on."
Tsunade's eyes widened, and her knees buckled underneath her when she heard the news. Shizune caught her Shishou and helped her to a nearby bench.
Tsunade finally gets the strength to ask, "so you know...everything?"
Naruto simply nodded a sad nod, and looked away before turning back around, and unwrapping his makeshift pouch. He handed Tsunade Jiraiya's Hitai-ite to which she pulled into an embrace, and then allowed a small smile to appear on her lips before saying, "He had me holding something for him. I believe it was meant for you. He had trained under a master in what he called another world I think he may have been drunk off his ass but the results spoke for themselves. He studied under a Muten Roshi. Shizune. Go get my lock scroll."
"Yes my lady," Said as she vanished in a puff of smoke.
"I have got to learn how to do that," Naruto remarked leaving Tsunade speechless.
"You really are just a genin aren't you?" She asked, still in shock over everything that had happened during the day.
He simply nodded. She shook her head and said, "Pay attention gaki as I am only showing you this once. Understood shinobi?"
His eyes widened at her acknowledgment of his status but nodded attentively. She showed him the hand seals required to perform the Shunshin no Jutsu which allowed a users chakra to boost a person's speed to a point that it almost appears to be a form of teleportation. After a few tries Naruto successfully learned the technique, and had his shadow clones continue to practice it.
Shizune returned, and Tsunade putting her fear of blood to the side pricked her finger and summons an orange training jumpsuit with a symbol on the back, and a smaller one on the left top part of the chest area. She handed it to Naruto who bowed and 'shunshins' away. He returned after twenty minutes having found somewhere to clean himself up and was now fully dressed. Even the boots seemed to have been made just for him.
"Well kid," Tsunade began, "Looks like I'm going home for a visit. Mind if we tag along? And you can tell us everything that happened along the way."
Naruto nods and they go check out of the hotel Tsunade and Shizune were staying at and began their journey back to Konoha.
KONOHA
"Naruto found out what?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen growled at the top of his lungs referring to Jiraiya being his godfather.
"Yes sir. And it seems as if he is bringing back Tsunade of the Sanin to put you in your place," Iruka reported what Naruto's clones had told him.
"Naruto's no match for Tsunade, so I am not worried about that," Hiruzen started, but then realized, "Who am I kidding. Naruto is the most unpredictable bastard in Konoha. We are all so fucked."
