Goku sat facing Garra as the third year came round. By now the boy had calmed. But had that rare time to flip. But right now both he and the sand child. Were training.
"Ok Garra, take this slowly. You need to release the aura constantly as time passes..." Goku spoke. Garra stood not far off in slacks and shirt. His body tense as he tried to summon the energy Goku could do. But had yet to know of Goku's true name. Garra growled as Goku watched the energy flow before a field of energy covered Garra. Goku clapped. "Well done..." Goku called. "You're come on well Garra. I didn't think you would be this well tapped to chi. But maybe it's like a connection with the beast in us. Seeing as animals are more adapt to the land were chi flows from every living thing. It could be that sort of connection..." Goku said.
Garra nodded. "I guess..." Garra glanced to Goku. "How did you ever come by this power...?" Garra asked.
Goku pondered on how he should put it. "Let's say the nine tailed fox has something good about him..." Goku said.
Garra nodded, buying the story for now. "What next...?" Garra asked.
"Spar..." Goku said.

"Argh!" Goku roared as both clashed fist to fist. Then leg to leg. Both then broke into a barrage of punches and kicks. Goku holding back to help the lad. Both met at tie knocking both back. They flip and land. Garra panted. "Not bad Garra..." Goku spoke.
"Yeah..." Garra breathed. How could the lad before him not even break a sweat?
"Hay Garra... You up for learning something away from your sand attacks...?" Goku asked.
"What's that...?" Garra asked.
"It's a technique that will give your opponent a big surprise. But only use these skill's when need to. Not every time..." Goku spoke. He then brought his hand back. "Bakurikimaha!" Goku yelled throwing his arm forward firing a blast. Garra watched the attack blast a rock face apart.
"The exploding demon wave..." Garra muttered. "Yeah... A skill I picked up..." 'Thank you piccolo...' Goku mused to himself.
"You're willing to teach me that...?" Garra asked. Goku nodded.
"And two others. The masenko and the makanosappo." Goku spoke. "These three I will teach you. But you must promise not to teach another them. For these attacks are very power." Goku spoke. Garra nodded.
"Hai Naruto..."

Goku sat wondering if Garra was like piccolo. From the way things have been it sort of is.
Garra has that sort of... Piccolo style to him. The way he talked. The way thing with his demon reminded Goku of his tenkaichi budokai battle against him. And right now he watched Garra master each technique he was teaching the lad.
"Ugh...." Garra growled. "Bakurikimaha!" Garra roared throwing his right arm forward, his left holding the side. The chi bullet fired at the sand wall Garra had formed and it blew apart.
Yes Garra had this shimmer of Piccolo.

Goku lashed out at the wooden stump as he trained in taijutsu after class. He aimed to keep his skill's top notch. And with his body at 50 time's earth's gravity. Goku was still a long way from super saiyan.
"Ha ha ha!" Goku yelled as he lashed out three kick's as he jumped. The stump crack from the strike and Goku landed.
"Woah that's cool!" Goku quickly turned in surprise to see a lad about his age or older. He had black hair that ponytailed out. He had large black eye brows and black round eyes. He wore a white shirt and pants that reminded him of Yamcha when he first met him. Just minus the bandana around the neck.
"Er..." Goku stared blankly. How this person get so close. He could sense jonin from half way across the village but this child got under his radar.
"Oh heh. Sorry. My name is Rock Lee. I couldn't help but watch your taijutsu skill's... er..." Rock spoke.
Goku blinked. "Oh heh sorry my name's Naruto Uzumaki. Erm how did you get so close. Normally I can sense a presence of someone's energy very well. But you got closer than I wanted..." Goku asked.
Rock grinned. "Oh, heh. Well I have this problem with under developed chakra coil's. So you may not have sensed my chakra. From how low it is..." Rock said. "It's the reason I watched your taijutsu. See I'm trying to prove I can be a great ninja with just taijutsu. Naruto-san. Could you help me...? It's easy to say you're the most skilled of your age group..." Rock spoke.
Goku stared surprised. He'd found the only other person like him. Goku wodered for a second. 'I should. This guy won't have the same advantage as me. So I should help him out. This way I have another sparring partner. It couldn't hurt right?'
"Well sure I guess. I could do with a sparring partner..." Goku spoke. Lee grinned.
"Yosh... Thank you Naruto-kun..." Rock spoke. Goku rubbed the back of his head trying to figure this guy out.
"It's no trouble Lee. After all, we are the same." Lee blinked.

"Ok Lee... Show me what you know..." Goku spoke. Lee got into his basic stance.
When Lee learned Goku had the same problem as Lee. It was something of a relief for Lee, to find he wasn't alone in being unable to use chakra.
"Ok!" Rock spoke. Goku formed his stance. And Lee dashed forward. Goku ducked and dodged and blocked Lee's strikes with ease. His skills were average for someone of his age.
Goku dipped down as Lee tried to strike out with his leg. Goku sweep kicked under him. The boy landed on his back with a thud. The boy blinked as he saw the fist in front of him. "That's kill..." Goku spoke. He helped Lee up. "Ok well you're skill's aren't bad. I'm sure we can do something while I'm here... Hmm..." Goku pondered for a bit. Lee stood waiting. Goku snapped his finger's... "I got it. Rogafufuken. The art of the wolf fang fist. This is an old style I came across. I'll teach you what I know of it..." Goku said.
Lee blinked. "The wolf fang fist...?"
"Hai. Its taijutsu based. I'll teach you this and some other stuff to make up for your lose in chakra. All I need is someone to train with..." Lee nodded with a grin.
"Hai!"

We move on some time ahead towards the winter time. By now Goku had change to a coat and jacket. This being the coldest winter of Konoha this year with it snowing. They say it did snow every so many year's. But still had no reason as to why.
Goku wore his boot with black jeans and an orange long sleeve skin tight shirt. An orange and black jacket on top to keep the cold off him. But was still able to give him full movement. He wore a pair wore black gloves and a cap. It was that cold this year. The coldest to date.
Also in this time his hair had grown down a bit that he sometimes remembered back to them days training Gohan in the room of spirit and time. He decided he would make use of the long hair for a while to keep his head warm. And get it cut after the cold winter.
He opened his locker for the last time and found a box there. Every year someone put one there and he had yet to know who... And still had no idea to how someone get's it there. Opening it up, he found a small tanto. This was the first time to get a weapon. The last ones were for coupon's to food places. But seeing as he couldn't use them handed them to Choji who in away. Made them buddies. He didn't mind. But to have a tanto. He glanced about. Checking for any teacher. No way would he want to be caught with a blade and be blamed. He saw a card.
"Sorry couldn't afford a sword I cleaned this old blade up. Hope you like it from the girl in the back ground...? Ugh no name again. They must not want parent's or people to know who ever it is..." Goku muttered. "It would be nice to meet this person... Hm..." Goku pulled the blade out a bit showing the fine silver blade. The hilt was red with a black lightening design along it. And a cloud design on the hilt. "It may be useful one day. I'll keep it on me. Heh I really have to say thanks to this girl..." Goku muttered putting the blade in his bag. He then realised something.
"Would this mean a girl likes me...?" Goku mused. He never thought about that. Since his relationship with Chi-chi. Even if he had no clue back then about relationships with girls. And still isn't 100 percent even now.
For a girl to like him... He could help but have a small smile. It made him feel happy someone liked him. Even if they don't show themselves. Goku glanced about. "Hmmm..." He pulled out a card and wrote a note. 'Maybe their close by. I won't go searching for them. I'll wait till the day comes.'
As Goku made his way off. Someone picked up the note hanging from his locker. 'Thank you. If you want something for Christmas... Please leave a note at the memorial stone. I'll get you something if you like. Signed Naruto.' The girl smiled. 'Thank you.'

"Duck, Lee!" Goku yelled throwing a snow ball at the one just about to hit Lee's head. Both were facing a group of kid's in a snow ball fight. Lee wore a long sleeve gray jacket and pants like Goku.
"Thanks Naruto-kun..." Lee called.
"Think nothing of it. You best wait for my friend to visit. He'll back us up big time!" Goku yelled as he dived and rolled. Then flipping throw two snow ball's hitting two targets.
Goku was the only person they had yet to hit once. Goku ducked and flipped back as they bombarded him with snowballs. But with his training, he was faster than them. And gripped two in a half flip. Before swinging back. He threw them and they hit their target.
Lee panted as did Goku. This was the one thing Goku enjoyed the most since they normally took this chance to get at Goku with snow balls for their fun. Lee and Goku took this as practise. And slowly it turned into a game for both sides. The hate the children had to Goku, was flattened by the fun of the game.
Goku dodged to the side and ducked as one flew from behind him. He gripped the snow below and threw a ball of snow at the one who fired at him.
Lee had been forced to cover behind a tree. 'Naruto-kun's keeping up are better than me in the cold. Then I must increase my training.
Slowly the kid's began to tire and pull out to rest. And it wasn't long before Goku had to take a sit down. Since not only were the kid's tired. He too wanted a break. "Man... That... was... fun..." Goku panted.
"Hai... I've never seen some many people take on one person and not hit you... But still get hit back..." Lee spoke, his breath a bit better after his rest.
"At least we'll have a third person on our side by tomorrow. You remember my friend I mentioned from suna. Garra." Goku spoke.
"Hai... You said you visited him on the holidays. So he's coming to the village this time...?" Lee asked. Goku nodded. "He's flying in... He'll be here tonight and I got the pass from the third. But he was a bit worried of how I made a friend in suna since I've never left the village..." Goku spoke.
"Hehe. I'm sure you'll tell Hokage-sama soon..." Lee spoke. Goku sighed.
"Maybe." The sound of snow hitting the tree got the attention that game was back in play.
XXX
Goku sighed as he sat by the small fire in his little garden. He had moved snow out the way making snowmen and heated the water fall with a kamehameha. His senzu beans not growing because of the cold weather. But luckly he had some for the winter. The sound of feet landing and he turned to see he first friend his age. Garra. "I told you, you'd find it..." Goku called.
"Hai Naruto..." Garra spoke looking about.
"I have a spare bed set up inside." Goku said.
"You live some distance from the village. And this dense forest is pretty hard to get through. I see why you choose here..."
Goku nodded. "Yeah it has all that's needed. Best rest up tonight, I've started cooking some fish..." Goku spoke. Garra sat the other side and both began to eat.
"There's a lot of snow here..." Garra spoke.
"Yeah coldest to date in the land of fire. Shouldn't last for a week or so... So you can enjoy the fun of snow sport's..." Goku said grinning. Garra nodded. Garra had brought a set of warm clothing for the trip there. And the kazekage was weary of sending his son/ weapon to konoha. Garra wore a red woolly jacket with black slacks. He wore boots and gloves.
"How cold will it get out here...?" Garra asked. "Not very. The tree's keep most of the cold out. But it's enough for my snowmen.." Garra glanced to them. There were three. One of Goku. One of him. And the third.
"Who's the third one...?" Garra asked. "The third is Rock Lee. You'll meet him tomorrow..." Garra nodded.

Garra woke the next morning to a cold one. It was fucking cold. His demon's words... Not his. Garra opened the door after getting clothed to find the fire burning. "Oi Garra!" Garra glanced to Goku oh sat in the steaming water. "Come on in! This will give you quick the shock!" Goku said. Garra walked up and looked at the steaming water. He put his hand in and felt as if he was just in cased in a block of ice. The water was freezing. And yet... Goku remained fine.
"Hehe... Yeah cold isn't it... It's quiet the chill but the centre is warmer than the outer ring..." Goku said. "There seems to be a warm current under the spot I'm at..." Goku said. Garra turned to walk off.
"I'll swim later..." Garra spoke. Goku nodded. "Ok... The water normally warms up by the end of the day. But isn't as hot as it is right now..." Goku called. "It will be fine..." Garra muttered.
XXX
"Yosh! Nice to meet you Garra-kun...!" Lee spoke loudly as he shook Garra's hand and body up and down. When he was released of Garra glanced to Goku.
"Lee's hyper..." Garra spoke. Goku shook his head.
"He's just excited to meet a new friend and maybe a bit hyper to train..."
The group then turned to walk off. They popped by the ramen bar and had a warm breakfast. "Three bowls of ramen for me and my friend's Oji-san..." Goku called out. "Hehe... Coming right up Naruto..." The old man spoke. The daughter came out moments after. "Hello Naruto.... Hello Lee. Who's your friend...?" Ayame asked looking at Garra.
"He's Garra from Suna. He's visiting for the week..." Goku spoke.
"I see. Well do you three what tea to warm you up...?" she asked. The three nod. As the streets began to build to the holiday spirit. The three chatted about events that have happened and what they hope to have done by the end of the year.
"Well I hope to have passed the exam this coming summer." Lee spoke. "I will then finally begin to show my hard work as a taijutsu specialist..." Lee spoke.
"I just hope to pass. But no doubt I'll get the same test as you will Lee..." Goku said.
"Yosh Naruto-kun. I know you will pass the test." Lee said.
Goku smiled. "Yeah... I hope I pass the test."
"How's your life been Garra...?" Goku asked.
"It's been well..." Garra muttered. Both had yet to let Lee know they were jinchurriki. Goku still needed to think on how he should put it.
"Teas done... Here you go Naruto. You too Lee..." Ayame spoke. She then put one in front of Garra and rubbed his head. "Aw why the sour face. Cheer up and have your tea..." She spoke. Lee and Goku sniggered lightly. Garra red in embarrassment again.

"Ok Garra... Me, Lee and you are going to practice our taijutsu. So we must do this the old fashion way..." The pair nods.
"Rock, paper, scissors...!" The three called. "Tie. Again Rock, paper, scissors! Again! Rock, paper, scissors! Again! Again! Again!"
"Aw man...!" Goku spoke as he lost. Garra and Lee grinning and smiling at each other being the first spar...
Garra formed his style as did Lee. Goku stood in the middle arm up. "Begin!"
Lee dashed forward and jumped. "Argh!" Lee yelled as he strikes out with his right leg. Garra ducked and flipped back driving both feet into Lee's chin. Then boy bounced up and flipped over landing on his feet. Garra took Lee's slightly stunned stance as a chance to up his victory and dashed forward. He brought his fist back. But Lee shook his head and was able to pull it to the side. Garra's hand passed by. Lee twisted dragging his leg back tripping the suna lad. Before kneeing the back, Garra rotated bringing his right leg over then his left on Lee's shoulder. But Lee pushed him off and Garra flipped back.
Lee formed two clawed hands. "Rogafufuken!" Lee yelled dashing forward, Garra blinked and ducked and dodged till Lee landed a strike then another before striking with both across Garra's front. A wolf howl was heard as Garra bounced back along the ground.
Garra growled standing he brought his arm back before lashing out with a long arm of sand. It gripped Lee before tossing him like a ball. Goku blinked as he saw a sand version of Piccolo's move. Thing was... He never taught Garra that.
Lee flipped and dashed forward side stepping each strike and then jumping the last. He rotated and drop kicked. Garra blocked before gripping Lee's leg and throwing him. Both dashed forward about to strike each other when Goku stopped both in the centre. "We have company..."

The blaze of snowball's came down hard on us as I private Lee ducked behind one of the many tree's that cover out battle field. Captain Naruto is an untouchable force as every snowball that's fired at him. He dodges with ease, even retaliating back with force...
"Lee what you writing...?" Goku asked as he took the paper from Lee.
"With Garra being a man of little words and movement. He is not touched by the barrages of snowballs...." Goku muttered as he read the rest. "Lee what the world is this...?" Goku asked.
"Err.... It's something I was messing about with..." Lee said with a grin.
Goku passed it to him. "It's ok. Need's more work...".

The land of wind was far from what Lee expected the week they visited the land with Garra. But right now the three were racing the sand dunes to out run the incoming sand storm. "Stay close and be ready to fly above if need be..." Goku called. Both nodded as they released their energy and burst forward.
The three made it to Suna just in time...
The night came and the three boys sat down to dinner.
It was also the night. The kazekages family was shown the deadly saiyan stomach.
Goku burped as he leaned back. "Man that was good..." He spoke patting his stomach.
Kankuro fell backwards off his chair in shock. Temari just stared. Her food long forgotten.
The kazekage's right eye twitched from the eating display of the lad.
But Lee and Garra eat without worry. Knowing somewhat of their friend's eating habit.
"Hehe. Not bad. That food was good..." Goku spoke.
"It better have been. That was 5 times someone your age could eat. And it was a 5 course meal each time..." Temari spoke up from her stunned state.
"Kankuro... Please get off the floor..." Garra spoke as he ate.
"I... I think I'll just go to bed..." The kazekage spoke walking off. 'I don't think I'll even get that event out of my head...'
XXXXXX
"Ugh..." Lee sat beside Goku as they watched Garra gather energy to the tip's of his finger's. Then...
"Makanosappo..!" Garra yelled throwing his finger's forward. A beam shot out with a spiralling energy on top. Lee blinked as the attack ripped through the rock face.
"Yosh that was amazing Garra-kun... Naruto-kun... What will I learn...?" Lee asked. Goku hopped down. Leaving Garra to his task.
"Lee before I teach you this. You must remember this that these attacks..."
"Bakurikimaha!" Garra roared. Goku hit the deck, taking Lee with him.
"Too much!" Goku yelled. The attack hit a rock.
From Suna a mile off a small mushroom cloud formed.
XXX
As the smoke cleared Goku stood. "That's what I'm saying. These moves are dangerous. And should only be used when you're stuck and when you can control them..." Goku said as Garra coughed out black smoke.
"Wow...." Garra muttered before passing out.
"Yeah... Lee I want you to be careful learning these skills..." Goku spoke. Lee nodded.
"Hai. I will only use it as a last resort..." Goku nodded.
"Ok. I'm going to teach you the Sokidan. And the kamehameha. The last being a favourite of mine..." Goku spoke.
XXX
Garra coughed another black cloud out as he sat by Goku.
Lee stood off in front of them. His right hand clenched in front of him. "Ugh... Sokidan!" Lee called forming an orb in his hand. The spirit ball, Yamcha's move.
Lee threw the ball forward and as it hit the stone face. Lee moved his two middle finger's up. Then jabbed them left... Then right. Controlling the orb... The orb hit the ground exploding but not as large as Garra's. But like Goku would let him put too much power behind it.
Lee grinned. "Yes!" I got the Sokidan down!" Lee cheered.
"Well done..." Goku clapped.
"Now to show you the kamehame ha..." Goku hopped down and moved passed Lee. "This is a very good technique... But not the most powerful if you don't master it..." Goku spoke. He cupped his hands.
"...." Goku tensed. "Ha!" Goku yelled throwing a small beam of energy out and striking the rock pillar.
Lee blinked. "That's cool. But was that the kamehameha...?" Lee asked.
Goku nodded. "Hai. I only released a small orb of energy. The chant give you time to gather the power..." Goku spoke.
"Could you show me how it goes Naruto-kun...?" Lee asked.
Goku nodded. "Ok..." He stepped back. "I'll aim up... Garra could you raise a rock with the sand for me...?" Goku asked. Garra nodded.
Goku brought his hands back. Lee watched as a blue orb flared to life. "Ka... me...." Goku began. The orb increasing in size... "Ha... me..." Goku continued. He threw his hand's forward. "Ha!"

We move into Goku's final year. The three had agreed this would be that last time they hung out as a group. Seeing as Lee would be becoming a shinobi. But Goku would visit Garra to spar. And train with Lee when both are free.
But right now in a small lake in a training ground. We find Goku forming stance's with his tanto. "Ugh..." Goku dragged the blade across in front of him throwing water up.
Goku was trying to recreate the move he saw Janemba pull on him. But he was having no luck. So far he was forming a curved wave of energy when he swung the tanto. But nothing yet.
"Hm..." Goku stiffed his arm movement. Then tucking the blade back. The blade facing down in his fist. While his left hand pushed flat to his right fist. He pushed forward in a kamehameha motion firing a curved wave of blue energy. Goku blinked. Then following the same style again. Formed another. Goku grinned. "Yes! I mastered it! But... It's not like Janemba's... So... I made my own technique..." Goku stared.
Yeah he may have had a wide range of skill's he learned master and make some his own. But he never made his own chi based technique. This was a first for Goku.
"Hehe..." Goku jumped from the water. Then swung the tanto again. His left palm flat releasing another wave. It sliced at the wooden pole in the centre. Goku hopped and flipped releasing wave after wave. Then landing on his feet. "Ha!" Goku yelled releasing a large wave that sliced three tree's down. Goku glanced at his blade. "Heh. I'll use this for that technique right now. So a name...?" Goku asked himself. "Hm... Fuuha...? Heh wind wave... Hmm no... That won't work... Hm... I'll need to think on that. Hm..." Goku smiled. "The Kattoha. Cutting wave..." Goku spoke.
Goku dried off before heading for the academy. Today was an event where the student's can show off some of their skills.
Normally it's not done. But they felt the parent's were not seeing much out of their children. So a small taijutsu sparring match and other skills would do.
So they went through the ninjutsu. Goku missing out because of his lack of chakra.
The weapon's lesson show didn't go to bad. Getting above average marks.
The taijutsu one Goku was itching for. Since he never seen what his fellow students were good at.
"Ok female class. Sakura Haruno. Vs. Hinata Hyuuga..." Iruka called. The two faced each other. Goku glanced between them.
By the feel of power. Hinata can win this. But her lack of will to fight made it difficult. But Sakura has lower energy than Hinata. But her will to fight is greater.
The match began and Sakura took her strike's fast and quick knocking Hinata off her feet. The girl groaned. Goku frowned. He wanted to say something. But he just felt he should let her know it won't be easy for what she will have to come up against.
Hinata stood and tried to fight back. But Sakura remained calm and knocked Hinata down. Goku could see Sakura was holding back from hurting Hinata too much. And she set the kill position in front of Hinata.
Iruka nodded. "Sakura Haruno wins." Sakura grin's and Goku blinks as she glanced to him. He turned to see Sasuke behind him and took it as she was one of the lad's many fans.
The time passed till. "Sasuke Uchiha Vs. Naruto Uzumaki..." Iruka called.
Goku grinned. He had always wanted to see what got this kid so much attention
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I just look forward to seeing why you're so favoured. This will let me see if I can match you if you're that good. Well... What they say at least..." Goku spoke.
"Heh. You'll never match the elite we Uchiha gain too..." Sasuke commented. "
You know... There's a saying..." Goku spoke. "That even with hard work. Even a lower class can out do the elite..." Goku said.
"Tch. False hopes for him then..." Sasuke said forming stance. Goku formed stance.
"Begin!" Iruka called and Sasuke dashed forward.
Goku watched Sasuke got in close and lashed out with his right. Goku moved pushing the fist to the side then swept Sasuke's feet from under him and let Sasuke tumble over.
Goku turned and blinked. 'Have I really overestimated this lad...?' Sasuke turned shaking his head and scowled. He attacked Goku again. But the lad ducked and blocked all strikes. Sasuke froze as the Goku's fist stopped in front of his face. Iruka nods. "Winner Naruto..."
"What, but the fight!" One adult spoke out.
"I've watched the fight and I can see the clear winner. Naruto wins..." Iruka spoke.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Goku sighed as he sat on one of the roof's. He watched as some of the villager's looked for him. 'Just because I beat Sasuke Uchiha. I'm public enemy number one again... Sigh...' He scratched his chin. "Guess I shouldn't show my face about in the village for a couple of day's... Well off to training then..." Goku spoke jumping off the side of the building and off to a training ground.
Goku flipped, kicked and punched as he worked on his reflexes. "Naruto-kun!" Lee spoke jumping down from the trees. Goku landed and turned to his friend. And blinked. Lee was wearing green.... And a lot of it too...
"Naruto-kun..."
"Lee what happened to you...?" Goku spoke up.
"Oh this...?" Lee started. "Gai-sensei said this will help with my training..."
"But... You're doing ok. Why change the outfit? I mean you had a gravity seal on your shirt. Without that..."
"It is ok Naruto-kun. I stitched the fabric of that seal into my new clothing. So I keep the same training I was doing. I trust Gai-sensei. And if I can't trust my sensei in what he knows... Then who..?" Lee asked.
Goku sighed. "Ok Lee. Now what was it you wanted to say?" Goku asked.
"Oh... Yes now I remember. Gai-sensei wanted to meet you Naruto-kun. I told him of your taijutsu skills. And he wanted to test them. One taijutsu user to another..." Lee spoke.
"You didn't tell him of the energy attack's lee?" Goku asked.
"It is ok Naruto. I didn't tell Gai-sensei... Unless you're ok with it..." Lee spoke.
Goku sighed. "That's good. Now. Shall we go meet this Gai-sensei of yours?" Goku asked. Lee nodded and both took to the trees.
XXXX
Both landed in a training field and Goku scanned left then right. To his right were two genin. One in meditation. The other throwing Kunai... To the left was... Goku looked stunned at the large green, Lee looking man. 'If Lee had a father... This Gai would most likely be this man. They look so alike.'
"Gai-sensei." Lee called out.
"Lee my youthful student. Have you returned with your friend?" Gai asked.
"Hai sensei... This is Naruto-kun. The one I spoke about..." Lee said waving his hand to Goku's direction. Gai blinked.
"Lee... This is the one you've been learning taijutsu...?" Gai asked.
"Hai... I know Naruto-kun may not have been what you expected. But Naruto-kun is skilled at taijutsu..." Lee spoke. The boy to the right scoffed.
"Lee you're more brainless than you look... If this is what you have been doing to have passed the exam. Then let me see how good he is... I doubt he's destined for much if he trained you..." The lad spoke.
"And you are...?" Goku asked.
"Neji Hyuuga..." Neji spoke.
"Neji. I don't think you should underestimate people because of age or friend's..." Goku spoke.
"Then prove me wrong...?" Neji asked.
"I don't have to fight to prove anything..." Goku spoke.
"Heh. See Lee... The one you said to be a greater taijutsu fighter than sensei. Is nothing but a coward..." Neji spoke.
"Naruto-kun..." Lee spoke. "I know you don't fight unless you're reason's are there. But can you show my teammate that my words are true..." Lee asked.
Goku glanced from Lee to Neji. "Lee..." Goku spoke.
"I have an idea..." Gai spoke. "Naruto... If you're unwilling to fight without reason. Then how about I teach you any jutsu you want within right's... I"
"Gai-sensei... Naruto-kun fight's protecting his friend's. That is the only reason he fight's..." Lee spoke.
"Hmmm..." Gai mused.
"Naruto-kun... Can you let it slide? I am most interested by your skills. If you will not fight Neji-kun. Then allow me to test you're skill's... Lee... Neji..." Gai called and both genin moved away.
"Gai... I don't want to do this." Goku spoke. He looked at the jonin. There was no backing down. 'Guess I've got no choice.' Goku got into stance. He made a gesture to begin. Goku ducked as Gai had vanished and reappeared behind Goku a kick going for Goku's head.
"Konoha senpuu!" Gai yelled. Goku jumped up as Gai sweep kicked. Gai glanced up as Goku flipped then turned.
"Gai... I'll fight you. But don't hold back. This will only be a onetime thing." Goku spoke.
"That is all I ask Naruto-kun!" Gai jumped and threw his fist at Goku. Goku blocked to the side. Then the left. Then deflected above. Goku rotated. Driving one leg on Gai's shoulder. Then the left leg knocking Gai down. The man flipped as did Goku, landing on the ground.
Goku ducked as Gai strikes out. 'This guy's good. I won't be able to hold off his strikes. Time to see how fast I can move...' Goku hopped and Gai kicked out at Goku. The lad turned driving both feet into Gai's face knocking the man back.
"Yosh! See Neji..." Lee spoke.
"Tch... Guess our sensei isn't as great as I expected..." Neji spoke.
"You're good Gai..." Goku spoke. "But I can see you're holding back. Not something I would recommend..." Goku continued. Gai smiled standing.
"I didn't think for someone you're age would be so fast. Fine Naruto-kun... Let's go again..." Goku nodded. He then removed his orange vest having now returned to his old outfit since the third year. The jacket hit the floor and Goku glanced down at a rock and picked it up.
Gai blinked as Goku threw the rock. Vanished and reappeared some distance away catching the rock. That boy had to be faster than him. If not more...
"Yosh Naruto-kun. Then it looks like I'll have to release my weight's to match you..." Gai spoke. His weight's dropped and both vanished before the genin's eyes.
"Were they go...?" Ten Ten spoke. Lee's eyes moved left and right as he followed Goku's energy signature.
Both clashed up above the trees. Their fist's connected. Goku grinned and even Gai grinned. Both then clashed and clashed again. Gai moving to catch the boy off guard. But Goku could see and match all of Gai's speed. Having moved his body to 75 times earth's gravity. Gai was no faster than 25 times.
Goku's fist dived into Gai's face sending the man flying. Goku dropped and landed. "Not bad Gai-san..."
Gai rolled to his feet. 'This boy... He's got to be the fastest fighter in the village at normal speed. Then it looks like I'll have to fully test this boy. It's far too good to see how far I can push him... Now...' Gai tensed.
Goku tensed as the energy around Gai began to build. 'What's this...?'
'Kaimon...kai...'
Goku tensed as Gai's energy jumped in height. 'This power it feels like Kaio-ken...'
'Kyuumon...kai...'
Again Gai's energy surged. Goku wasted no time. He tensed his body. "Argh...." Goku began as he his hair flapped with the rise in his chi. Goku watched as wisps of energy rotated around Gai before bursting up like a funnel.
'Seimon...kai...!'
Gai's body turned red as his hair flipped up.
"I see..." Goku started. 'With that sudden release... I have no choice...' "Guess it's time for my move.." Goku called. "It's time... For the kaio-ken!" Gaku roared as red energy blazed to life around him.
Gai appeared in front of him his fist back. Goku vanished as the fist passed through him. And appeared behind the man. "Argh...!" Goku roared throwing his fist at Gai. The man vanished and sweep kicked then drop kicked Goku. The boy bounced and Gai rotated to bring his second leg down. Goku's aura burst and he pushed back. "Triple kaio-ken!" Goku called flipping a couple of times back.
Goku's foot touched the ground and he vanished throw his fist at Gai. The man blocked and dodge then strikes back. Goku ducked and dodged as well.
Both throw their fists and Goku's aura cut out at that second. The force of Gai's punch sent Goku flying into the forest.
"Naruto!" Lee called as he and Ten-ten ran off to where Goku went.
Goku sighed as he lay in the crater he formed from the punch. 'That was strong. And that lasted far longer than kaio-ken triple fold. That just shows me, that I need to become a super saiyan again. Now I'll just pretend to of passed out so Gai doesn't continue our fight...'
But Goku had passed out. That had punch was more than he expected to take for his age.

After the little event with Gai. Goku made sure to stay out of Lee's sight. He didn't know if Lee was ok with seeing his friend being beaten like that. And made sure to drop his energy to zero. That way Lee would not follow. But this also cut out on his training.
So now. He had to wait till his friend was on a mission that travelled some distance before training. Which were wide spread. And so Goku got 1/ 10th of his training for the last 6 months. Now we move to the genin exam.
But thing's were about to turn out badly. As it seems people just don't want him to pass.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Iruka called. Goku stood. "Seems you're in for the clone jutsu exam." Goku blinked. That couldn't be right.
'H-how can I be?' Someone voiced it out while Goku made his way down. But he was to worried of how he'll pass this. Then inspiration hit him. He tripped forward on the step's causing himself to groan in pain.
"Naruto you ok?" Iruka asked. Goku pushed himself up.
"Yeah. Just didn't watch were I was going." Goku said as he put a hand in his pocket. 'Yes I still have them.'
When Lee had become a shinobi. He had shown Goku the smoke bombs and asked to see if he could try fighting while using his senses instead of his eyes. Goku agree with the idea. And got given two for later.
Looks like he'll need to find Lee later, and thank him, it seems.
As Iruka passed the doors Goku quickly attached the small bombs to the back of his boots. Goku then followed. Keeping his step's short and slow.
"Ok Goku..." Iruka spoke displeased the lad had to do this. "Three clones." Goku nodded.
'I'll need to work fast.... I'll use the multi-form technique. Good thing I learn the fist of four bodies' Goku formed the seals. 'Please work.' "Bunshin no jutsu!" Goku yelled tapping a bomb free. It in cased Goku in smoked. 'Now!' Goku crossed his arms in front of him. 'Shishin no ken.'
The smoke cleared and the chunin looked surprised. There stood 4 identical people. Iruka smiled. "Well done Naruto." Goku smiled as he released the second smoke boom and his clones formed back into him. He whipped the smoke clear as Iruka passed him a head band. The chunin leaned close. And whispered in the lads ear.
"I don't know how... But good job Naruto. Worth of a ninja." Goku smiled as Iruka stepped back. Mizuki gave a forced smile.
"Well done. Naruto." Goku nodded and left with his head band on. 'How that brat pass? I planned it perfectly.'
