AN: Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out, the start is probably one of the hardest things to do when writing a story, at least in my opinion.
The young boy couldn't help but to snarl quietly as he continued to fly away from the battle going on behind him. The truth was that the onyx haired six year old wanted little more then to turn around and fly back towards the massive battle going on between his father Goku and the evil tyrant Frieza, but his father had made it very clear that he wanted Gohan away from the fight. So knowing that Gohan was currently flying back towards his father's spaceship which currently contained his godmother Bulma and his sensei Piccolo, making sure to dodge the numerous lightning bolts that continuously fell from the dying planets sky.
Goku couldn't help but to smile as he saw the furious look on Frieza's, the newly transformed super saiyan was rather thrilled at the fact that the evil tyrant had failed to get his wish for immortality granted, more then that the fact that he had been so close to accomplishing his goal when it had been snatched away from him made it all the better in Goku's opinion. More than that though Goku was grateful for the knowledge that Gohan would be transported back to earth momentarily, he knew that he had been hard on his son and he was very proud of the fact that Gohan had come back to stand against Frieza by himself, but that didn't take away from the fact that Gohan had gone against his orders and could have gotten himself killed for it. So with the knowledge that his son would be back home with his mother soon Goku launched himself at Frieza determined to end the evil tyrant's life and get off the planet before it blew up, unaware of the fact that it would be years before he saw his son again.
Gohan couldn't help but to gasp softly as he just barely managed to avoid another bolt of lightning, it was becoming harder and harder for the six year old to continue dodging the bolts, it was almost like they had a mind of their own, and for some reason that mind was making them target him specifically. He was about to continue forward again until another bolt shot down mere inches in front of his face forcing the boy to jump backwards again, unfortunately this proved to be the wrong decision seconds later as three more bolts shot from the blackened sky to merge when they all slammed into his body. The pain was so intense that Gohan didn't even know when he started screaming, all he knew at that point was severe and utter agony, because of this he young boy never even noticed when a strange white light surrounded him, or how the color shifted from white to cobalt, then he was gone.
The young half saiyan's pain only intensified though as he was flung through a strange blue tunnel, dozens of small bolts of electricity bouncing off the walls of the tunnel forcing Gohan to stay conscious throughout the whole agonizing trip, until with one final shock to his system Gohan was finally enshrouded in the comforting embrace of unconsciousness, mere seconds before his body was covered in a white glow and disappeared.
In a densely forested area on a different planet a young blond haired boy could be seen running, tears running down his cheeks as he tried to figure out why everyone seemed to hate him so much. The young boy's clothes were torn and ratty and obviously not the proper size for him, as the boy was continuously forced to slow so that he could yank his shorts back up less they fall to the ground. He knew that it wouldn't be long before some of the older kids came to pick on him again, so knowing that Naruto was quick to duck into an old tree hollow knowing that the other boys wouldn't look there, after all they never had in the past.
And so Naruto spent the next three hours hiding in that dank hollow, trying to figure out why everyone hated him, while also wishing that he could find just one friend. Naruto was just finishing drying his eyes so that he could leave the tree hollow, when the sound of a large explosion sent the five and a half year old scurrying back into the hole terrified at what could have made the sound. It would be nearly an hour later that the young blond's curiosity would force him out of the hollow, so that he could discover what had made the noise. He was mere feet out when he discovered the small crater and resting in the center was another boy, who appeared to be around Naruto's age, with onyx hair wearing immensely damaged blue cloths a single white glove that had a few burn holes in it and no shoes.
Having never seen the boy or the style clothing that the boy was currently wearing Naruto was somewhat weary of approaching the other boy but his curiosity was quick to take over forcing him to walk towards the other boy so that he could check to see if the other boy was still alive. It didn't take Naruto long to find out that the boy was still alive, easily realizing that the boy would need help if he was going to stay that way though Naruto shuffled the other boy onto his shoulders as quickly as he could before he took off towards the village as quickly as his short legs would take him.
It was nearly an hour later when Naruto came stumbling into view of the massive front gates, the onyx haired boy still draped over his shoulders and back, and sweat pouring down the whickered childes face. The instant that the shinobi protecting the front gate saw them both men rushed towards the two boys before coming to a stop right in front of Naruto.
"Please help." The strained plea left his lips right before the boy passed out; he would have landed face first on the street if not for the guard catching him.
"I'll get them to the hospital, you go inform lord Hokage." The slightly taller one said quickly before taking off with both boys slung under his arms, while his ally took off towards the large red tower in the middle of the village.
It was three days later that Gohan finally regained consciousness, the first thing the young boy noticed was the poorly placed white light that blinded him the instant he opened his eyes. It took the young half saiyan mere seconds before his ability to sense others energy to alert him to the fact that he was not alone in this room, more than that there was at least six other people none of which had energy that he was familiar with. Gohan was considering trying to fake that he was still asleep so that he could find out who these people were until a gentle voice rang out.
"Good morning." The elderly voice spoke softly, realizing that he had been caught Gohan turned his head to the side to look at the elderly man who was sitting near his bed, Gohan could tell that the old man was powerful, very powerful in fact, that fact could easily be overlooked though because of the kind and gentle feeling the old man was giving off, if Gohan didn't know how to sense energy he wouldn't think that the man was a threat at all.
"Good morning" Gohan said softly his eyes looking towards the areas that he could sense the other power levels, not that he saw anyone, but he knew that they were there.
Sarutobi was somewhat surprised when he noticed the young boys eyes leave his own to begin looking around the room, his surprise turned to shock though when he realized that the youths eyes weren't just looking around the room he was actually looking at the hiding places of his anbu guard. He was about to question the boy on this fact when his onyx eyes locked back with his own.
"Where am I?" the young boy asked softly, making it abundantly clear to the old man that the young boy was somewhat scared. This simple fact reminded the elderly man that no matter what abilities the boy seemed to posses he was still just a boy, too young for any of the villages to begin training. Perhaps that was why the elderly Kage wasn't worried about the youth, but he still needed to know more about the boy before he made any real decisions about the boy.
"You are in Konoha, you were found by one of our citizens who was kind enough to bring you back to the village so that you could receive medical treatment. Now if you don't mind I have a few questions for you, starting with your name." Sarutobi stated as he looked at the young boy.
"My name is Gohan." Gohan stated calmly, as he looked at the old man, already knowing that that wasn't going to be his only question.
"I see, well Gohan I'm curious how you ended up in a small crater outside of our village with all of the injuries that you had." Sarutobi asked calmly while still keeping eye contact with the young boy.
"I don't really know." Gohan started as he looked at the old man before continuing his tale. "I remember my dad yelling at me because I disobeyed his order and went back to fight Frieza, and then I was flying away when trying to dodge all the lightning when I was struck over and over again, then next thing I remember is waking up here." Gohan stated making sure not to break eye contact with the old man so that he'd know that he was telling the truth.
Sarutobi knew that the boy was telling the truth, he had been watching for any of the tells that would of told him that the boy was lying, this also told the old man that the boy had most likely been attacked by this Frieza person, and that his father had probably died trying to protect him, but there was one thing that Gohan had said that gave the venerable old man pause.
"Gohan I'm sorry but did you say that you were flying away?" Sarutobi asked staring at the young boy. It took Gohan less than a second to realize that the old man thought that he was lying so deciding that it was probably going to be easier to show him rather than try and convince him Gohan slowly floater off the bed until he was levitating a few feet in the air. Hiruzen couldn't help but to stare in shock as he looked at the youth, after all very few people knew how to levitate in fact as far as he was aware there was only one person who knew how to levitate and even he didn't have the type of control that Gohan was currently showing.
"Gohan how?" Sarutobi asked softly as he still stared stunned at the young boy.
"It's a simple Ki manipulation." Gohan stated calmly as he looked at the older man.
"You're a KI user" Sarutobi asked softly as he stared at the young boy, the old Kage knew about KI users but they were all very old and many didn't know how to fly at least to his knowledge. Gohan simply nodded as he slowly lowered himself back to the ground, still looking at the older man.
"I see well Gohan if you don't mind waiting here for a little longer I'll be back, I just have a meeting that I have to go to." Sarutobi stated as he stood from his chair before he walked towards the door, already dreading the upcoming council meeting. He was almost to the door when it burst open, a short blond haired boy with three whiskers like marks on each cheek standing in the door way, looking at the currently standing onyx haired boy with a large smile on his face.
"Hi my names Naruto." The blond boy all but yelled as he walked up to the onyx haired youth.
"Hi I'm Gohan" the black haired boy responded a large smile making its way over his face as he looked at the blond. And Sarutobi couldn't help but to smile as he noticed the friendship that was beginning right in front of him, causing the old man to cement his decision to force the counsel to let the other boy stay so long as he proved not to be a threat, if not for the fact that it would allow the village to have a KI user then for the fact that he didn't want to destroy this chance for Naruto to have a friend.
Alright and there is the end of chapter one, I hope that everyone liked it and that it was worth the wait, once again I'd like to apologize for how long it's taken me to get this chapter out, and for those of you who are waiting for the next chapter of Gohan, Harry and the Prisoner of Azkaban I am very sorry for how long it's taken me to get the next chapter out I promised myself that I'd get the first chapter of this story out before I typed up the next chapter of that one, sadly that took a lot longer than I thought it would. So please remember to R&R
