"Come on you guys! Konoha is just ahead!" Yelled a blond teenager running down a dirt path who wore an orange and black jump suit.

"Take it easy, Naruto. Don't forget, it's not just you and me anymore." Said an elderly man with long white hair with a large scroll tied to the back of his Gi. "The village will still be there if we slow down."

"Is he always like this, Jiraiya?" Said a teenage girl with black hair in pigtails with a long white shirt and green boots.

"well, hes calmed down a bit over the years. Though, sometimes you wouldn't notice. Today being one of those times." The man known as Jiraiya said. "You two do know that this change in your location will most likely be permanent, right? We don't have the technology you have."

A black haired teen boy sighed in exasperation. "I kinda gathered that much, but I think we'll be alright. Right, Videl?"

The girl known as Videl nodded. "Gets me away from my over protective father that's for sure. It also gives us more time for my training to fly. Which by the way, for the 3 weeks we have been here, you have yet to teach me anything, Gohan."

Gohan sighed. "I wanted to wait until after we got settled here before we did any serious training"

"I know I know... I'm just anxious is all." Videl said waving off Gohan's comment.

The four travelers continued on down the dirt path for a few more miles. Gohan could have flown them all there, but its rare that he took a liesurly walk and enjoy the sights. eventually they came to the gates of the Leaf village, with three figures standing at the gate.

Two were men dressed in black uniforms with green Chunin flak jackets and the third wore a red shirt and a light pink skirt and had vibrant pink hair. the latter of which darted to Naruto and wrapped the unsuspecting blond in a tight hug as the girl cried with tears of joy.

"I'm so glad you're back, Naruto!" The girl cried.

"You really missed me that much, Sakura-chan?" Naruto said returning the hug which only deepened.

Gohan and Videl observed with curiosity.

"Gohan. Naruto never mentioned having a girlfriend." Videl said

"What makes you sure they're together?" Gohan said, receiving a slap upside his head from Videl.

"Are you blind?! Look at them! I don't see just regular friends hugging like that. I'm half expecting them to start making out." Videl exclaimed.

Gohan looked at the blond and pinkette and that was when he noticed how tenderly they were holding each other and for how long they were at it.

"I think you're right, Videl. But if you notice, the girl is crying. could just be a comforting gesture." Gohan said.

Videl conceded a nod. "I didn't think about that and I honestly didn't notice she was crying. I can't see 3 miles ahead of me and make it look like it was 3 feet like you." Videl said with indignation.

Gohan laughed and put his hand behind his head.

That was when Sakura noticed the two other teens and pulled away from Naruto, wiping the tears from her face.

"Sorry about that. I just haven't seen this idiot in three years and hes a really good friend of mine. Anyway, what brings you to the Leaf and could you tell me your names?" Sakura said.

Videl smiled. "I'm Videl Satan."

"I'm Gohan. We met up with Naruto and Jiraiya three weeks ago and have been traveling with them since." Gohan explained.

Sakura nodded. "Where did you come from? Are you Shinobi?"

Videl and Gohan shook their heads. "No, we don't come from the Elemental nations." Videl said.

Sakura was visually shocked. "You don't? where do you come from?"

Videl looked to Gohan who gave her a slight shake of his head to her.

"It's complicated to explain and rather not repeat it. Could you take us to your... um..." Videl said, trying to remember who it was she was told was the village leader.

"Hokage?" Jiraiya said

"Yes, thanks." Videl said nodding.

Sakura nodded. "I understand. You need to go see her anyway. Anyone who goes in or out of the village needs to see the Hokage. Follow me, I'll take you to her."

Tsunade was busy doing her usual routine, singing mounds of paperwork and looking over mission reports. Oh how she hated doing paperwork. She just wished that Naruto would be old enough to take the reins so she could step down from this tedious job.

Tsunade heard a light knock on her door. "Enter" She said in her usual bored to tears tone. Sakura walked in

"Lady Tsunade. Jiraiya and Naruto have returned." Sakura said with a smile.

Tsunade cracked a smile as well and straightened herself up. "Bring them in! I wanna see how Naruto has grown."

"They have two guests with them." Sakura said

"I see." Tsunade said with a look of contemplation. "What do you make of them?"

Sakura looked at Tsunade with a thoughtful stare. "They're fighters that much I can tell, but they aren't Shinobi from what Jiraiya and Naruto say. I don't think they pose a threat, but I can sense an enormous amount of chakra coming from the male. The girl also has a higher than normal chakra level and from what Jiraiya tells me, the man is a Ki user."

Tsunade was visibly shocked by this. "A Ki user? There hasn't been a Ki user in centuries. Bring them in."

Sakura nodded and made a gesture on the other side of the door to motion the group of 4 into the Hokage's office. Naruto and Jiraiya were the first to walk in, followed by the two strangers. Tsunade's first impression of the two was a petite teenage girl with an impressive amount of Chakra for someone not being trained in its use, and a tall and very muscular man with reserves greater than any shinobi ever recorded. Tsunade took hold of her pen and grabbed two forms and laid them out on her desk and looked up at the two newcomers.

"I want to get these two settled in and then we'll discuss your trip, Jiraiya." The latter nodded as Tsunade scribbled down something on the paper. "Can I get your names, please?"

Gohan took a respectful bow. "I'm Gohan."

Videl did the same. "My name is Videl Satan."

Tsunade nodded. "You ages?"

Videl was first. "I'm 17"

"I'm 18" Gohan said. (A/N: yes Gohan is 18. remember he was 11 when he fought Cell and spent a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, making him a year older than Videl."
Tsunade nodded as she wrote down their names and ages. "And where is it that you come from?"

Gohan and Videl flinched at that question. They knew that this was going to be hard to explain. Videl was the first to speak. "As hard as this is going to be for you to understand, what we are going to tell you is all true."

Tsunade looked up from her paperwork and noticed the nervous looks on the two teens. She nodded for them to continue.

Gohan gulped. "We are from a different universe and were transported here on accident." Gohan started. "Videl and I were going to my friends house. She is a scientist who deals with inventions of highly advanced technology, well, highly advanced compared to what you have. She created this machine that could allow a person to travel between dimensions. Videl and I were going to train before she called me to come to her lab to test her new invention, but right off the bat, the test went wrong."

Videl nodded. "We were sucked into a portal that the machine created and when we came to, we had no idea where we were or how we got there at first. It was Gohan who figured it out. That was three weeks ago and if there was a way to get back we would have by now. This dimension doesn't have the technology we have in our time and because of that, we can't replicate the machine that was used to send us here."

Jiraiya stepped forward. "What they say has some truth to it. We were on our way to the Land of Waves when a bright white light appeared out of nowhere and then the two of them were in the middle of it. Naruto and I thought at first it was some kind of new teleportation jutsu, but when we saw them unconscious we immediately thought otherwise.. We took them to a local Inn for them to rest and they woke up two days later. We also found some sort of devices on them that looked to be far more advanced than anything I have seen."

Tsunade had a far away look of shock on her face. Trans Dimensional teens? how could that be possible? She then remembered what Jiraiya said about the devices they carried.

"That story seems pretty far-fetched.. I'm going to need proof of what you say is true." Tsunade said.

Videl pulled out her Capsule case and took out a Capsule. "This is what we call a Capsule, or Dyna-cap. It can contain anything from a magazine to a large house. This one contains my Jet Copter, but its far too big to fit in this little room." Videl said.

Then Gohan pulled out his Capsule case and pulled out one of his capsules. He hit the button on top and tossed the capsule and exploded in a cloud of smoke. once the smoke cleared, a small fridge appeared. Tsunade and Sakura were stunned by this turn of events. Gohan walked to the fridge and opened it and it was full of drinks.

"Anyone thirsty? I have Cola, root beer, orange and grape soda and energy drinks." Gohan said.

"Toss me a grape." Naruto said and Gohan obliged and threw Naruto a purple can of soda, to which Naruto opened the tab and began drinking it.

"Root beer for me." Jiraiya said as he was handed a brown can.

"You know what I want, Gohan." Videl said as she received a tall can that said Red bull on the side and she started drinking it.

"You two want anything?" Gohan said to Sakura and Tsunade.

Sakura nodded. "I'll take a orange if you have it." Gohan nodded and handed a can of orange soda to Sakura. she opened the can and took a sip and found out quickly that the drink was really cold and refreshing. "Holy cow! That's good!" She exclaimed.

Tsunade was wide eyed at what was happening, but nodded and asked for a cola. Gohan handed her a red can on it that said Coca-Cola on it. Tsunade took a sip and was just as amazed as Sakura as she started to take a larger sip form the can. she set the can down as Gohan put away the fridge and looked at the two newcomers.

"Okay. I will admit that the technology used to do something like that is quite possibly decades if not centuries ahead of our own. I still find your story hard to believe, but evidence says otherwise. What are your intentions here?" Tsunade said.

"We don't really have a place to call our own. We were hoping we could have a citizenship here with your approval." Gohan said and Videl nodded in agreement with Gohan.

Tsunade nodded. "So you just want to live here. What about goals? Intentions for work?"

Gohan and Videl looked at each other and back to Tsunade. "Well, we really don't know what kind of work you have that would best suit our needs." Videl said.

Tsunade sighed. "The main job that I can see that would work for at least one of if not both of you is becoming a Leaf Shinobi. I get the sense you two are fighters, no?" Gohan and Videl nodded. "Then I want to see what skills you have as far as your capabilities of being fighters and see where you stack against some of our Shinobi."

Jiraiya stepped forward. "I have spared with Videl and her Taijutsu skills are well above average. She's Chunin level at least and Naruto spared with Gohan. Now this is where things get interesting.."Tsunade cocked an eyebrow in anticipation. "Gohan's Taijutsu is far higher than anything I have ever seen, even beyond my own. He possesses the ability to manipulate Ki in very large amounts and has a very unique form of Kekkei Genkai that gives him one hell of a boost in power. His speed is greater than even the 4th's which was nothing short of astonishing. He also can use his Ki to fly and at great speeds of which-"

"FLY?! Are you serious?!" Tsunade shouted as she shot up out of her chair. "The only one who can fly is the Tsuchikage! Jiraiya, are you sure these two are not spies for him?!"

"Calm down, Tsunade. They are not spies that much I do know. I already told you that they appeared right in front of us and knew nothing of our world. If I suspected for a second they were spies, we would never have brought them along." Jiraiya said.

"Lady Tsunade." Videl said with a pleading look. "I assure you, we're not spies. In our dimension, we were crime fighters who worked along side the police of our city to protect the innocent and provide aid to unexpected disasters and apprehend criminals. Is there any way we can convince you that our intentions are in no way hostile?"

Tsunade sat back down in her chair. She folded her arms across her chest and closed her eyes as she mulled over her next decision. "Alright." She said and then opened her eyes and looked up at the two fighters. "I will have you escorted to the interrogation chamber and have one of my specialists probe your minds. This way here, I will know of anything that you may be keeping form me that may pose a threat to my people." Tsunade then snapped her fingers and two ANBU guards appeared. Gohan was not surprised, he had sensed them a long time ago. "Escort these two to the interrogation room and notify Ibiki and Inoichi. They need to be mind probed."

"Understood, Lady Hokage." The ANBU with a Bear mask said as he and the other guard walked towards Gohan and Videl. "Come with us please."
Gohan and Videl nodded reluctantly and walked with the guards out of the office towards the interrogation chamber.

'Videl, are you sure about this? They will know everything about me.' Gohan said telepathically into Videl's mind.

'Yes, Gohan. We need them to trust us. We have no way of knowing when or if we will get back to our time so this is the best way I can think of gaining their trust, by trusting them. Besides, you're not the only one with secrets, Gohan.' Videl thought back to Gohan.

'The point I'm trying to make is that if they find out I'm a super powered alien, I'm afraid they would have even more reason to not trust us.'

'Gohan. to them, we are both alien and not just by blood. We come from a time outside of their own and are unsure of what to think or do.'

'You make it sound like you're as much of an alien as I am..'

Videl didn't answer. She knew that there was something different about her from when she was young, but she didn't know what exactly and she didn't want Gohan to know about it just yet.

'Videl?'

'Just focus on getting this over with.' Videl said and she didn't say another word.

Tsunade looked at Naruto and Jiraiya. "You can give me your report now. How did Naruto's training go?"

Jiraiya smiled. "He has learned a great deal, Tsunade. He has gotten far stronger than I would have thought. He is probably one of the most powerful Shinobi in the village."

Tsunade nodded and then turned to Naruto. "Its good to see you again, kid." Tsunade said with a small smile.

"There is something else, Tsunade." Jiraiya said, now with a grim look. "He heard a rumor about the Akatsuki as well as a few other things."

Tsunade nodded and turned to Sakura. "You may leave, Sakura."

Naruto held up his hand. "This concerns her too. It pertains to Sasuke."

Sakura was wide eyed at the sudden mention of Sasuke. Tsunade nodded and motioned for Sakura to take a seat. "Continue on then."

Jiraiya cleared his throat. "We discovered some reports of Sasuke going up against Itachi. The reports we heard was that Itachi killed Sasuke."

Tsunade and Sakura were both visually shocked to hear this. Tsunade was about to question Jiraiya about it, but Naruto held up his hand again.

"We had it confirmed by Itachi himself. We came across him during our travels and he had confirmed that he Killed Sasuke... With little effort from what he said." Naruto said.

"it was also confirmed by a collection office. Itachi pointed to us to where the body was and sure enough, we found him there. We tried to take him back, but the asshole who runs the place used a teleportation Jutsu and he and Sasuke's body were gone. The most noticeable part was that it looked like Itachi drove a blade through his heart." Jiraiya said.

Tsunade sighed with a downcast look. "If that's true, then we can remove him from the wanted list."

Sakura sat in her chair barely showing any emotion on her face. 'I somehow knew this is what was going to happen. Yet, why do I not feel anything except happiness?' Sakura thought. 'Perhaps it's because he's lived a life full of torment and hatred and now all of that is gone and he is now resting in peace. No longer under anyone's control..'

"Sakura?" Sakura was pulled from her thoughts as Naruto said her name. She turned to look at the blond, only for the later to be shocked to see that she wasn't crying. "Sakura... Don't you feel anything about what happened?"

Sakura nodded "I know i should be upset, but in reality, I'm actually kinda glad." Naruto gasped at Sakura's response. "He's no longer suffering, Naruto. His life was full of hatred and depression for what Itachi did to the Uchiha clan and he was bent on revenge. Sasuke may have failed to avenge his clan, but at least he is resting in peace without any hatred or torment. Plus he is no longer under Orochimaru's influence. If anything, his death was a blessing for Sasuke."

"But, what about-"

"My feelings have changed, Naruto." Sakura said interrupting Naruto. "During the time you were gone, I realized that he never cared enough about me to even warrant continuing to love him. Thinking about it, the man Itachi turned him into, I never would have been happy with him. Ever since we became a team, he would always put me down and call me names and ultimately break my heart." Sakura said. Like she needed to get that off her chest.

"But still, Sakura I-"

"It's fine Naruto. Seriously just drop it." Sakura interrupted. Naruto looked down dejected.

Sakura walked up to him to lightly flick him across the forehead. "Come on you goof, wipe that frown off your face. You're taking me to Ichiraku's after this."

That got Naruto's attention.

"What? Ichiraku's? Why?"

"Cause I haven't seen my teammate in years and I want to catch up with him, you bonehead. Why else?"

"Oh right. Of course." Naruto replied, rubbing the back of his head trying to disguise his disappointment, which made him miss the smile on Sakura's face.

Tsunade cleared her throat loudly. "Well, if that's all over with, is there anything more to report?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "That was pretty much it. Nothing really important left to tell, unless you wanna hear about my research."

Jiraiya suddenly found himself going through a wall and felt a searing, white hot pain going through his head. Tsunade with blinding speed decked the Toad Sage across the office and into an adjacent wall.

Sakura sweatdropped. "He never changes, does he?"

Naruto cocked an eyebrow. "This surprises you, how?"

Sakura giggled. "I know it shouldn't, but it does."

Ibiki and Inoichi were with Gohan and Videl in the interrogation chamber. It was a dark and intimidating room with no windows and hardly any light, save for some dimmed lights that were spread around the ceiling. both Videl and Gohan were unconscious so Inoichi could probe their minds. He had finished probing Videl's mind 20 minutes ago and was working on Gohan's. He found nothing threatening in Videl's mind and had already confirmed the two teens' story. From her point of view, they were indeed from another dimension that was far different from their own.

Inoichi was about three quarters done with probing the demi-Saiyan's mind and already he found out about many things that this boy had gone through. Battles and witnessing death from an early age and fighting strange and overpowered creatures that would make a Tailed Beast seem like a joke. Gohan's bloodline and his Super Saiyan abilities as well as his ability to manipulate Ki. The Dragon Balls, Cell, Frieza, all of it.

It was at that moment that Tsunade, Jiraiya and Hiashi Hyuuga entered the room. "What have you learned, Inoichi?" Tsunade asked as the trio stopped a few meters away from the tables the two teens laid on.

Inoichi finished his mind probe and pulled away from Gohan and looked up at the Hokage. "Their story checks out. They're telling the truth from what I can tell. No mind seals, no knowledge of our world at all save for a few things, none of them to concern yourself with. The girl has lived a pretty normal life. Well, normal for her anyway.. But the boy.. His past is troubling and yet, remarkable."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "Go on then."

Inoichi stood up and gathered his thoughts. "For one thing, this boy had been put in the line of fire from a very early age. I have seen his memories. He has been training and fighting since he was a toddler. He was kidnapped, damn near beaten to death by several different enemies in more than one occasion. He's fought aliens and strange creatures that have more power than even the strongest of the Biju. In fact, from what I have gathered of his memories, he's not completely human either. He is half human and half something called a Saiyan. Supposedly they were a race of alien warriors that look a lot like humans save for having a monkey like tail."

"He also possesses what I can gather as a Kekkei Genkai that only those of his race can use called Super Saiyan. He has witnessed first hand the death of his friends and his own father and his mentor. In a nutshell, this poor boy has seen far more than any Shinobi has. Most Jonin couldn't have bared witness to the things he has been through. But if you want to know if he poses a threat, then the answer is no. Neither one of them show any ill will towards our world or its people. They both have pure minds and hearts and the will to protect the innocent." Inoichi concluded.

Tsunade nodded and turned to Hiashi. "What do you make of their Chakra networks?"

"Which ones? they each have multiple networks. The boy has three, while the girl has two-no.. she has three as well, I just found the third." Hiashi said.

"Three each? how?" Tsunade said.

"The boy has a large Chakra network in the forefront, a much larger secondary network behind that one, and the third one resides at the base of his spine and I can see where there used to be an appendage at his tail bone. The girl is the same way, although her primary network is smaller than the boys. It's large by our standards, probably about the size of what you would find in a seasoned Jonin. Her secondary network is just as big if not bigger than the boys. But, her networks seemed to be untapped. There is circulation in them, but hardly noticeable. Whereas the boys is extremely developed and moving at a rapid rate. If I were a betting man, I would say that the girl has no training in Chakra, or Ki in this matter. She's basically a clean slate as it were." Hiashi explained.

"Then she could learn either Ki or Chakra. Judging by her performance with her Taijutsu skills when I sparred with her, if she was trained properly to use Chakra, she would make an excellent kunoichi." Jiraiya said.

Tsunade nodded in agreement. "She would also make a good medical ninja if she chooses."

Everyone present in the room, save for the teens, nodded in agreement. "Gohan on the other hand, with his power and skill, he far out classes even us Sannin. He's even more powerful than any Kage in history." Jiraiya said.

"Now the big question is; if this girl is the same as Gohan and can get access to the Saiyan Kekkei Genkai, would she be able to achieve it without the use of Ki?" Hiashi asked.

"That's a good question Hiashi. I honestly don't know." Jiraiya said.

"From what I could gather from Gohan's memories, the transformation is triggered by a severe emotional event, such as an overwhelming amount of rage, or the pain if losing a loved one, or the need to protect those who are dear to them and require additional strength through shear willpower and determination. Any of those could be key factors in triggering the event. Looking into Gohan's past, his first transformation was the need and will to protect his friends and family and to do so, he called upon his latent energy to bring forth the transformation. Later on, he transformed into a more powerful form of this transformation from what him and his father refer to as the pain of loss. It seems that this Kekkei Genkai has more than one stage and each stage brings forth even greater power than the last." Inoichi explained.

Hiashi had a look of shock on his face. "How many stages?"

Inoichi shrugged. "From what I could gather, two. But I have no doubt in my mind that it could go further into more stages."

"But the question that needs to be answered is, can this Kekkei Genkai be achieved through the use of Chakra or can it only be used with Ki?" Tsunade said.

"Hard to say, Tsunade." Jiraiya said. "There hasn't been a Ki user in our world for over three thousand years, until now. very few if anyone knows anything about Ki these days, aside from the fact that its our life force and half of what makes up Chakra."

"I suppose you're right.." Tsunade said with a sigh. "Inoichi. Why don't you remove the sleeping Jutsu from our guests."

Inoichi nodded and pressed a finger to their foreheads. after a brief moment, Gohan sat up followed by Videl. The latter of whom groaned as she sat up.

"ugh... Did anyone get the number of that truck.." Videl said.

"Truck?" Tsunade said in confusion.

"I'll explain later." Videl said as she popped her neck and stretched her back.

"Its a type of freight transportation in their world, Lady Tsunade. They, like us, have trains and sea freight, but they also have these land vehicles that transport freight as well as air born vehicles that transport freight or people by the masses." Inoichi said.

"Hence the term-ouch!- truck." Videl said as she felt her knee pop in an uncomfortable manner. "How long have we been out?"

"A little more than an hour at best." Ibiki said

"Then why do I feel like I have been folded into a pretzel and laid out by a rolling boulder?" Videl said.

Inoichi chuckled. "One of the side effects of my clans jutsu I'm afraid. Makes you feel uncomfortably stiff."

"Yea I gathered that much." Videl said as she winced at a tight muscle in her back refusing to give into her demands.

"So, I take it you know everything about us now.."Gohan finally said as he got up from the table.

Tsunade nodded as she ran her chakra infused hand across Videl's back to loosen up her muscles. "We pretty much know everything about your lives."Tsunade then softened her face as she recalled the memories Inoichi got from Gohan. "Even all of yours, Gohan. I can honestly say that I'm sorry you went through of all that you did."

"Don't worry about it. If I hadn't gone through what I did, I wouldn't be the person I am now." Gohan said in his typical cheerful Son attitude.

Tsunade instantly got the feeling like she was standing in front of an older, taller, smarter and far better built Naruto. The thought of which brought a small smile to her face.

"So where do we go from here?" Videl asked.

"That's entirely up to you at this point." Tsunade said. "But, we need to clear the air of a few things first. Hiashi Hyuuga here scanned both of your Chakra networks and found that each of you have three. While due to Gohan's origins and the third being at the base of his spine, most notably in his tailbone, we expected that much from him. What we can't figure out, is why you have the same third network at the same location as Gohan." Tsunade finished.

This elicited looks of shock from both teens. Videl knew Gohan was a Saiyan due to the fact that during the three weeks they have been here, Gohan finally opened up and confessed pretty much his entire life story to Videl, which she accepted after much explaining. However, if what they were being told was true, that meant that there was more to Videl's past than either of them knew.

"What I saw using my clans Kekkei Genkai was that both of you have a Chakra source embedded at your tailbone and there is evidence there was once an appendage there. Judging by Gohan's memories, we have concluded that you both are either kin or of the same blood mixture. Cross-checking with Videl's memories, we have ruled out the possibility of being related. That being said, since Gohan's father was a Saiyan, that means either Videl's mother or father is Saiyan." Hiashi concluded.

"But, that's not possible! My mom and dad were both human.. I don't remember much about my mother, but what I do remember is that she had no interest in fighting while my dad is a martial arts master, at least he is in his mind." Videl said.

"Well, the evidence says otherwise." Hiashi stated, not convinced with Videl's story.

"Videl" Gohan said softly, still with a look of shock. "Are you really a Saiyan?"

"I can't be one... It just doesn't make sense.."

"It does to a degree." Gohan stated. "You have a far higher power level than what I could sense from everyone else on Earth, save for me and my friends. I know you have trained for a while, which would explain a few other things, but the fact that you have such a high level, if I were to put it to a number, I would say around 200 whereas the average power level of a human is 5. Your dads I would say was around 40."

"And what number would you give yourself, Gohan?" Tsunade asked.

"Somewhere in the low billions." Gohan stated plainly, earning gasps from everyone in the room except Videl. She half expected that answer.

"You said that the average power level on your Earth for humans is 5. What would you say it is here?" Jiraiya asked.

"From what I could sense of this world, I would say the average is around 120, with the highest being around 1000." Gohan said. His estimations were not that far off.

"Who has that power?" Tsunade asked.

"I don't know, but I can sense that it doesn't belong to a good person. At first I thought Naruto was the strongest human here, but then sensed this other energy signal that was far higher. I would put Naruto around 600 for his maximum." Gohan stated.

"Could it be Orochimaru?" Hiashi asked to no one in particular.

"Orochimaru is strong, but he isn't that far ahead of Naruto." Jiraiya said.

"Could be the Akatsuki leader." Tsunade said. "Whoever that could be."

"Would make sense based on what Gohan said he could sense of this person's intent." Inoichi said.

"Can we get back on track here?" Videl shouted. "This is all very interesting, but I would like to know were Gohan and I stand in all of this."

"That is also something I would like to know." Everyone turned to face a newcomer in the room. It was an old man wrapped in bandages from head to toe with only part of his face visible.

"No one asked for you to be here, Danzo." Tsunade said venomously.

'I don't trust this guy. He's evil that much I can tell, but not very strong.' Gohan thought.

"You would just blindingly accept two strangers who merely say they are from another dimension and that they are not completely human? You are a bigger fool than I thought." Danzo said.

Tsunade was seething with anger at Danzo's comment. "Asshole" Videl said.

"You will learn to keep your tongue still, bitch, before I cut it out." Danzo said.

"What did you just say to me?!" Videl shouted.

Gohan phased directly in front of the man. "I don't care what kind of position you hold here or what you think you are to this world. If you value your life, you watch what you say to Videl in front of me." Gohan said with a cold and icy tone, his eyes flashing teal for a brief moment as he glared at Danzo. Danzo seemed to be unphased.

"Threatening me, are you? Just for that alone I could see to it that you are beheaded publicly.." Danzo said smugly

"Try it. Even Videl here is stronger than you and I wouldn't even have to lift a finger to knock some sense into you." Gohan seethed, his anger boiling.

"You will soon learn your place, boy." Danzo huffed and turned back to Tsunade. "If you were smart, you would either send these two to their graves or at least out of this village. We don't need their kind here."

"Who the hell are you to speak for everyone? Last time I checked, Lady Tsunade is Hokage of this village, not Danzo with his ROOT vermin." Hiashi said

"I have said my peace. The council will hear of this, Tsunade. It won't be long before these two are out on their rears. Mark my words and make no mistake of that." Danzo said before he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Bastard couldn't even come here himself. He sent a clone to speak for him" Tsunade said her words dripping with poison. "You two don't worry about that asshole. Even the council can't stand him half of the time."

"What exactly is he to this village?" Videl said.

"He is the Captain of the ANBU Black Ops and suspected operator of ROOT ANBU who follow whatever order he gives them. We don't have sufficient evidence to prove this however." Tsunade said. "But enough about that. I'm going to work out some details with the council as to what the final word will be about your placement here. In the meantime, we would like to know if you would be interested in becoming a Leaf Shinobi? Gohan can train you in using Ki, or I can assign you to a team to train you to learn Chakra and Ninjutsu and Genjutsu."

"You can still learn to be a Shinobi despite the path of ability control you choose." Hiashi said

"I think she could use both." Gohan said earning confused looks from everyone. "You said that like me she has three energy networks, right?" Hiashi nodded. "Then she can have her primary network trained to use Chakra and I will train her to isolate her latent energy network to use Ki as well as to switch between the two of them at any given moment."

"Could that work?" Tsunade asked in general.

"In theory, its possible." Hiashi said. "Her primary and secondary networks are not connected and are independent from each other. It would take a great deal of training and meditation to learn how to control both Ki and Chakra, but the theory is plausible simply because she has more than one network. If she just had the one then no, It wouldn't be possible."

Tsunade nodded. "Very well. Once I get the green light from the council, I will assign you to Team 7 as their temporary replacement squad member. You already know two of its members; Sakura and Naruto, and is lead by Kakashi Hatake. For now, you two may leave and I will get a room at a local hotel for the both of you to stay until more permanent housing can be arranged. Would you two be comfortable sharing a room or do you want separate rooms?"

Gohan and Videl blushed at the idea of sharing a room, but before Videl could speak, Gohan contacted her mentally.

'What do you think?' Gohan asked.

'I would be lying if the thought of that idea never crossed my mind. I think for simplicity sake we should share a room. I just hope they have more than one bed.' Videl said.

'uh... Yea that would get awkward.'

'What exactly does that mean? Are you saying the thought of sharing a bed with me is offensive to you?'

'No no! I mean, it just wouldn't be right for us to do that since we're not going out or anything.'

'...I think we need to have a talk later.' Videl said and looked to Tsunade. "A single room is fine."

Tsunade nodded. "I'll send someone to reserve a room for you. You can walk about the village freely and take in the sights for now. I'll send an ANBU to notify you of where you will be staying. Hiashi will escort you two outside."

Videl and Gohan bowed. "Thank you, Lady Tsunade." They both said in unison. They turned to the Hyuuga elder and walked away with him, leaving Tsunade, Ibiki, Jiraiya and Inoichi alone.

"Do you really think they can be trusted?" Ibiki said.

"They have the purest hearts I have ever seen and they have no malicious intent to anyone here, save for maybe Danzo." Inoichi said.

"That could be said for anyone who knows him really." Jiraiya stated.

"I trust them enough to at least stay here until I talk with the council. I think its safe to say that I can count on a positive vote from the Hyuuga and Yamanaka clans." Tsunade said and Inoichi nodded.

"The Nara and Haruno clans would be questionable. The Aburame clan I think will give them a pass. The Inuzuka clan would be the most difficult to convince as they trust no one. I think if the Akimichi clan saw Gohan's eating habits they would be convinced almost immediately." Jiraiya said with a chuckle, earning a chuckle from Inoichi and a confused look from Ibiki and Tsunade.

"How is that funny? Does he eat a lot?" Tsunade asked.

"A lot would be an understatement." Inoichi said, bringing up some of Gohan's memories. "He eats enough to feed an army, but from what I have learned, its part of his Saiyan physiology. Saiyans apparently have a very high metabolism and need to consume vast amounts of food to keep their strength up."

"I guess Naruto and Choji have competition then." Tsunade laughed and later joined in laughing by Jiraiya and Inoichi.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the shopping district of the Leaf village.

Sakura parted the flaps separating the interior of the Ichiraku ramen stand from the outside world. The smell of pan fried noodles, meats, and vegetables filled her lungs with their enticing scents. Immediately she was greeted by none other than the store owner's daughter, Ayame. Filling in for her father who had taken a rare day off.

"Sakura-san!" The noodle maiden cried in delight.

"Good afternoon Ayame." Sakura greeted in kind.

"Back for another quick bite before returning to the hospital?" Ayame inquired. "You're in luck, I just finished a piping hot pot of vegetable ramen."

"Not today, I'm off duty today. Actually I brought someone you might like to see."

Ayame glanced behind Sakura to see the silhouette of a young man. This got Ayame's attention. It wasn't often, or ever, that Sakura would bring a date with her. And the boy in question could hardly be called that. Even with the flaps obstructing his face, Ayame could tell that the young man was fairly tall, muscular build, spiky blonde hair, and if she was looking through the slits in the flaps right, cute little whisker marks on his-Holy crap is that-"Naruto?"

"In the flesh, ya know." The blonde smiled at the waitress turned chef before taking a seat closest to where Ayame was standing by the counter before Sakura could even sit down. "No time to talk, I need three bowls of miso ramen with extra pork to start with, and four more to come after that." The brown haired girl could only nod to confirm the order what with the now grown up Naruto leaning over the bar to get right into her face. Ayame took this time to appreciate how handsome the blonde had gotten over the last 3 years of being gone. The Toad Sannin's training had stripped the boy of all his baby fat, leaving hard angled jaws and cheekbones until only the face of a man remained. Although you could still see the twinkle in his eye of carefree youth and the smile of innocents on his face. So the remnants of the old cheerful Naruto was still there to enjoy. Something both ladies had picked up on.

Sensing that she was about to be caught staring, the ramen chef quickly turned around and began her favorite customer's order, not even bothering to ask for Sakura's order.

"You know something Ayame-chan? I spent three years roaming the elemental nations with Pervy Sage, and not one. Not one! Ramen stand had anything near as good as your old man's."

"Is that right?" Inquired Ayame. "I'll be sure to tell my Dad. He'll be delighted to know that our favorite customer proved that our ramen was the best in the world."

"That's right. When I become Hokage, its going into law that Ichiraku's has the best ramen in the entire world." The Hokage to be raved.

"Speaking of…where is your dad? I was looking forward to seeing the old man."

"Oh, he's under doctor's orders to take a day off once a week after I had to treat him for exhaustion." Explain Sakura, muscling her way back into the conversation.

The two ramen enthusiasts looked to Naruto's left at the pink haired medic who they both had forgotten was there. Both were embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. Was I interrupting a conversation between you two?" Sakura asked in a rather forceful way.

"Oh jeez, I'm sorry Sakura-chan," Naruto stammered trying to ease the situation. "Its just that its been so long since I've had Ichiraku's ramen and seeing Ayame again…"

Sakura ignored the flustered blonde and ordered her own bowl of vegetable ramen. Giving the whiskered teen a taste of his own medicine. The two sat quietly for a moment before Naruto attempted conversation again.

"So Sakura-chan, you trained under Granny Tsunade right? That must have been tough, tell me about it."

"Oh it was, Naruto. She literally beat into me the ins and outs of all things medical. From assessing injuries and ailments in the field and in a hospital. To stabilizing allies and treating patients…" Sakura continued on with more detail about how exactly she used her mystic palm technique to heal people. While Naruto would normally find this interesting he was mostly distracted by seeing Sakura's face light up as she talked about being a medical ninja which she obviously took a great amount of pride in. Naruto hadn't seen Sakura get this excited about something since Sasuke.

Before that depressing thought could set in, Ayame brought them their ramen. Four piping hot bowls of goodness. Like a kid on Christmas, Naruto's face split into an ear to ear grin. He thanked Ayame and the ramen gods before splitting his chopsticks and diving in.

Sakura was halfway through explaining about how to heal chakra burns when their food arrived. She knew that there wasn't a force on this or any plane of existence that was going to keep Naruto from enjoying his ramen. So she let him chow down while she attended to her own meal.

Her vegetable ramen was as delicious as ever and Ayame even remembered that Sakura preferred it to be low sodium. She might have long been off a diet ever since starting Tsunade's Ass Kicking Training (her words, not Sakura's), but that didn't mean she had to partake in overly unhealthy foods. In fact, her medical training had made her even more self-aware of what foods she put in her body. Even if the long shifts at the hospital usually didn't allow her to make smart choices. Still, Sakura always chose to come here at least once a week. A little habit she got into after Naruto had dragged their old genin team to the small shop every time it was his turn to pick. When he left for his training with Jiraiya, it became a nice little reminder of him and of happier times.

By the time she was finished with her bowl, Sakura looked over at her reunited teammate surrounded by nine empty ramen bowls. A quick motherly scolding for over eating such unhealthy foods and the duo had paid for their meals and waved goodbye to Ayame.

The kunoichi and the ninja walked side by side with one another through the bustling streets of the Leaf. Naruto with his arms holding up the back of his head and Sakura with her arms draped across her back.

"So Naruto, tell me about your other two friends. They seem like they've got an interesting story behind them."

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you, Sakura-chan. They come from a world without chakra or jutsus. Everyone just uses Ki. They fight mostly with taijutsu. Kind of like Bushy Brows, but these guys can fly and shoot beams out of their hands."

"Now you're pulling my leg."

"It's true, I've seen Gohan do it. I sparred with Gohan and he flat out steamrolled me, even using the Kyuubi's Chakra, he still kicked my ass and he didn't even break a sweat! We got attacked by an armada of pirate ships off the cost of this one resort island we were staying at and Gohan flew up into the sky and rained energy blasts down upon them like some divine hand of God!" The blonde raved. "Pervy Sage Sparred with Videl. She is no where near as powerful as Gohan, but her taijutsu skills had the old pervert on his toes the whole time!" The pinkette had a look on her face of wonder, imaging someone being so powerful. Then she got an evil idea in her head.

"That reminds me. Naruto, do you know if Gohan is seeing anyone?" She asked, more interested in the reaction than the answer. The blonde stumbled at this one.

"Gohan?! W-why would you care if he's seeing someone? You barely know the guy!" The boy stammered.

"No reason, but I would like to get to know the guy. Like you said, he's an interesting character. Plus I just love strong guys."

"Hold on Sakura-chan. I'm a strong guy. Why don't the two of us go out on a date instead of you and this stranger?" Naruto was desperate that she listen to reason.

Unfortunately, Sakura was having too much fun teasing the blonde Baka to stop now.

"Who said anything about a date? Besides, he's a friend of yours. That hardly makes him a stranger in my eyes if you like him."

"I-I…" The Leaf's Most Unpredictable Ninja was caught completely off guard.

'He's so lucky that he looks cute when he's clueless. Which is most of the time.' Sakura thought.

Honestly, she had missed this. Teasing Naruto. You could always count on him to react in more interesting ways then you ever could with Sasuke. Looking back on it, Sakura was disappointed that she didn't take the time to hang out with Naruto more before he left on his training trip. It probably would have led to a lot more memorable moments for Team 7 and between the two of them. Too much time had already been wasted pining after Sasuke.

No matter, Sakura was determined to make up for lost time. Even without Sasuke being there to act as the carrot driving the two of them forward, there was still work to be done. And no doubt they would be called upon soon by her master to use their training to benefit the village somehow. As Sakura's mentor could attest, time was always short for a ninja.

For now, the duo had to reintroduce Naruto to Shikamaru and Temari.
