Naruto Chronicle

Author's Note : Hey there, I know I said that I wasn't going to put one up for this chapter, but I got more reviews since then. Thanks for all the great reviews so far people. Since three people asked, I'll take –dattebayo out of Naruto's speech in this story. If you want them off the other stories as well, bring that up in the respective stories' reviews. FF7 and 8 are awesome ideas, in fact I've been mulling over who to pair with Naruto for a while from 7. I just can't see Tifa being the one though, since she's loved Cloud for the longest time, almost as long as Hinata had a thing for Naruto. I was thinking either Aerith beginning from when Sephiroth is about to kill her and is rescued by him, or Yuffie since they're both shinobi. I don't want to choose both, since with all the places they'll travel to, one per world is plenty, not to mention they each would have to pay a price to be able to join the duo on their world-hopping journey. Well I think that's all from the new reviews so far. Here's chapter 2, enjoy it and keep the reviews coming, thanks!

Chapter 2 : Naruto Meets the Son Family, Battle for the Future Begins - Dragon Ball Z Arc, Jinzo Ningen (Artificial Human) Saga

Son Residence, Shortly After Son Goku (Kakarotto somehow just doesn't suit him, since he's not Evil) Returned Home from Outer Space

After a day of intensive training in preparations for the jinzo ningens, the Saiyan father and son, along with Piccolo returned for a nice home-cooked meal, only to notice two high ki signatures coming from inside the house, one around that of the other human Z Senshi (Z Warriors), and the other greater than Goku's as a Super Saiyan. They hurried inside, only to see a blonde stranger with whisker marks on his cheeks pigging out at the meal table, while another blonde young woman was helping Chichi out in the kitchen.

Gohan asked in a concerned tone, "Mom, what's going on, and who are these people?" Goku immediately ran up to the meal table after a yell of "Hey, save some for me!" and joined Naruto at inhaling the food, causing the others to sweatdrop. Piccolo pointed at the eating shinobi and asked, "What're you doing here? What was your wife thinking, letting people with such huge kis into your home, and why're you just stuffing your face like nothing's happening?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth with a gulp, Goku replied, "Aw come on Piccolo. This guy loves food, so he can't be that bad. Besides, Chichi wouldn't let them stay if they were going to hurt her, right?" Slurping down his bowl of ramen, Naruto just nodded.

Shion bowed in apology to the others for intruding their home. Chichi said, "Nonsense Shion. It's nice to have some nice and normal company around for a change, unlike these two muscle heads. Besides, Gohan-chan can use more friends his age, even if your boyfriend does eat like a pig like my husband here," she turned to the Z Senshi as Shion blushed at her words, "Now you three, march your butts out of here and get yourselves clean before you come back in for dinner! That means you too Goku-san, so stop stuffing your face! Clean clothes are right outside next to the bathtub. Just go run yourselves a bath!" Said people immediately nodded and ran out the door quicker than bullets. Piccolo thought, 'I don't know why she gets to order ME around.' while Naruto thought, 'Scary. She was so nice when she invited us in, but she can be scarier than Tsunade-obachan (granny Tsunade) when she gets mad. I wonder if she hits as hard too.'

Once the trio cleaned themselves up and came back in, they had dinner together with the newcomers and Chichi as they introduced themselves to each other. After Shion explained how and why they got here, Chichi said, "I hope you're as lucky as Naruto here Gohan, to find a future wife as nice as Shion here," making the young half-Saiyan blush and go "KA-SAN (Mother)!", with Shion blushing like a human tomato.

Goku asked in the most innocent manner after he looked back and forth between the two blondes, "So Naruto, she's your girlfriend?" making Naruto nearly choke on the food he was eating. After a drink to help down the food, he blushed as he replied, "N-no! We're just good friends, right Shion?" Said girl was still red as she said, "No Naruto, you said you'll help me continue my line of priestesses remember?" Gohan whispered in Naruto's ear what she meant, and Naruto nearly had a heart attack at hearing that as he jumped back and said, "Na-nani? You mean that you want me to have babies with you?" After a nod from a red-faced priestess, Naruto sat back down reluctantly and said, "Demo (But), we barely know each other! Besides, I like Sakura-chan." "But you don't know how long it'll take us to make it home!"

Gohan asked, "What do you mean?" Shion explained how the key wouldn't work after they arrived and found that this wasn't the world they came from. They tried to get some answers from Yuko, but…

(Flashback)

Activating the key to speak to Yuko, a small screen appeared mid-air in front of them as the two saw Yuko's face. "Ara, I see you made it to the first world already. What can I help you two with?"

Naruto asked, "Ano sa ano sa, why won't the key work Yuko-neechan? We tried opening another door, but it won't do anything." Yuko replied, "That's because you didn't accomplish your task in that world yet."

Shion asked, "What task?" "In order for you to move on, you must first find an item or fulfill a nimu (mission) before you can move onto the next world." Naruto asked, "But how do we know what it is?" "You will have to figure that out on your own. Ara, lunch is ready. Jolto (Wait) Mokona, don't drink up all the sake! I have to go now, ja ne (see ya)!" Before the duo could say anything else, the screen disappeared. They tried to contact her again, but to no avail.

(End Flashback)

"Maybe you can use the Dragon Balls to return to your home?" Goku suggested. "Chichi-san told us about them, but do you think it'll work?" asked Shion. Piccolo said, "They should, but I think they may not work in this case. You said that there's something you must accomplish before you can leave, and the dragon's powers have limitations. You may not be able to leave even if you ask the dragon to help you, not to mention the fact that you don't know what your objective is, making it impossible for you to wish for its completion."

The blondes' heads drooped at hearing that, their hopes shot down. Gohan exclaimed, "HEY! Maybe they're meant to be here to help us fight the jinzo ningens you guys!" "Jinzo nin-wha? What're you talking about?" Piccolo went on to explain about their meeting with the visitor from the future and his warning about the attack three years from now, bringing about their plan to improvement their abilities between then and that day. "Perhaps you two can be of help, since you have massive kis for humans."

Naruto asked, "What's ki? Do you mean chakra?" The Z Senshi looked confused by what he meant, and he explained what chakra was and demonstrated how to use it by using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) as a clone appeared next to him, surprising the others before dispelling it.

"Ah, your chakra sounds like what we use here called ki, since your technique splits your ki in half, like Tenshinhan's Shin Shin no Ken (Twelve Eyes Technique)." At hearing that, Naruto put one of his arms up in a pumping motion as he exclaimed, "Yosh! I will train with you guys to help you fight these jinzo ningens, then I can become stronger and bring Sasuke-teme back and become Hokage!"

Wondering what he was talking about, they talked into Naruto into telling his life story, even his less-than-pleasant childhood, as he was hated for his tenant, and aspired to be the village's protector to make everyone acknowledge him for who he was, not what he contained. The others looked at the young man in sympathy, while Shion was fighting back her tears, as she finally understood why he tried so hard to defy his fate when she predicted his death and helped her without a second thought, as he had to fight against his own demon everyday. Piccolo nodded in understanding as he said, "I see, that explains how your ki is even greater than Goku's and how I sensed a second ki from you that felt evil."

Shion chimed in by saying, "I'll help too! I can use chakra too after all!" Chichi chided, saying that young ladies shouldn't learn about being violent (what an ironic thing to say coming from her). Goku said, "Aw but Chichi, her ki is pretty high too! She can be a big help to us fighting the jinzo ningens!"

Her denial to his pleads was for naught as Shion said that she would train to help Naruto fight. Chichi sighed and said in resignation, "All right, but Shion's staying in our room. You bums can sleep on the couch! No way am I letting you brawn-for-brains interfere with Gohan-chan's studies." The others sweatdropped as they nodded in compliance to the sleeping arrangements. After the meal was over and dishes were put away, Naruto walked outside to stare at the starry sky, not noticing that Shion had came up from behind and hugged him as she cried.

"Why? You didn't have to do all this for me! You could've gone home, but you chose to come on this crazy journey with me! Why?" Naruto got out of Shion's embrace and turned around to face her. "I promised that I'd protect you with my life no matter what, and I never go back on my word. That's my nindo (ninja way)! We'll train together to be strong, strong enough to make scrap metal out of those jinzo ningens, then we'll go home together, OK?" Shion nodded as her tears stopped and she hugged him again, this time with the genin returning the embrace with a blush, as he was not used to intimate contact with women.

Unbeknownst to the couple, Goku and Chichi were watching. Chichi sighed and asked, "Aw, look at those two. Don't they remind you of us when we were kids?" "Huh? I guess. I didn't have blonde hair then or whiskers either though." The end of that sentence was followed by a smacking sound and Goku clutching his head in pain, as the angry wife went inside while grumbling about dense husbands with no romance in their souls.

So the training began with our two heroes joining in. When Chichi demanded for Piccolo and Goku to get lessons to earn driver licenses, the two teenagers sighed in relief as they were not of driving age yet, not to mention that they never saw automobiles before in their world. After two spectacular failures, the three children laughed as Chichi fainted in frustration with the two men.

And so, three years have passed. It was the day of reckoning that Murai (Future) Trunks warned Goku of. They all arrived on the island as Goku introduced their new allies to the others, where they also met Bulma with the present chibi (baby) Trunks. Kuririn and Yamucha tried to flirt with Shion, but that was put a stop to when she politely declined their advances and ran behind Naruto, who glared at them, the couple having gotten much closer with the time passed, finally gotten him over the pink-haired banshee. Yamucha's action surprised the others though, for they thought chibi Trunks was his child, but he said otherwise.

Yajirobe came to give the gang Senzu Beans, but was shot down by the two jinzo ningens right out of the sky. Seeing their descent into the city on the island and the inability to detect the jinzo ningens' kis, the Z Senshi went down to the city to search for them on foot. Yamucha was the first one to find them, but before he could call out for the others, the jinzo ningens punched a hole through his stomach.

The others, seeing the explosion and sensing somebody's fading ki, headed towards what they sensed (not that they needed to, I'd think that the fire and smoke would be a dead giveaway) to find the two jinzo ningens with their dying companion. Kuririn raced his fallen friend back to Bulma to get a Senzu Bean. 20 proceeded to attempt clearing the area for combat by destroying the immediate vicinity, but his ki blasts were stopped by a force field of ki, much to everyone's surprise save the five people who trained together. They turned to see that it was Shion who put up the shield with her ki in combination of the power from her mother's heirloom as she panted, drained from using the technique. He thought, 'How strange. There's no data on this one or the other blonde. Who are these two?'

After a suggestion by an angered Goku to go elsewhere to battle, they flew off with the two jinzo ningens until the enemy decided to stop in a barren area with jagged rocks. Goku, who was the first to face off 19, seemed to be more out of breath than usual, which Tenshinhan thought couldn't be from only flying, but shrugged off for the moment. The jinzo ningens thought they had Goku figured out as Gero studied him extensively since the fall of the Red Ribbon Army when he was a child up to right before he left for Namek, until he changed into a Super Saiyan and charged forward to fight.

The others watched as Goku seemed to have things under control, landing blows on 19 left and right until he used the Kamehameha Wave, allowing the enemy to absorb his ki and began losing his strength for some reason. He was fading fast and soon lost his Super Saiyan form. Just as he was about to have the rest of his ki sucked out of him, Gohan and Naruto were getting sick of watching him get hurt and were about to charge in when Vegeta showed up, preventing Goku's death and challenging 19 in his place, while Yamucha took Goku home for the antidote for the virus attacking his heart, once the Z Senshi realized that was what weakened him far quicker than he should've been.

While the others explained to the blonde duo who the Saiyan prince was, Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan, showing ki as high, perhaps more than Goku's at the time as a Super Saiyan, much to the surprise of everyone (probably due to his weakened state, but the others didn't put that into consideration), as he dominated 19. After discovering how he was absorbing ki, Vegeta proceeded to rip out the jinzo ningen's hands and finished him with his Big Bang Attack. 19 was no more, and 20 was forced to retreat as he headed towards Gero's laboratory, after a weakened Vegeta bluffed him into turning his tail and flying away. Immediately afterwards, he demanded for a Senzu Bean to recover his ki, before he flew after the remaining jinzo ningen.

Yamucha raced for Goku's home to help his friend, while the Z Senshi followed Vegeta and began searching for 20 as well, who began hiding on the ground, taking advantage of the fact that his ki couldn't be detected. 20 knew that he needed more ki to defeat Vegeta and decided that he would gain enough by stealing from the rest of the Z Senshi.

20 attacked Piccolo, as he was the fighter with the next highest ki in his data. Called out mentally by the Namekian, Gohan and Naruto managed to save him, as they flew towards the jinzo ningen and knocked him out of the hold they had their mentor and friend in. After thanking his two students, Piccolo declared that he would fight 20 alone as payback for the ambush, telling Vegeta to back off, as he proceeded to pummel the evil machine, much to his opponent's surprise.

Wondering how Piccolo's strength became drastically higher than anticipated, the Namekian proceeded to explain that they were warned about their arrival. Murai Trunks returned and found that his visit changed the course of events. This was confirmed when he told the others that he had never seen 19 or 20 before. It was also when the others found out that the young man from the future who had the ability to turn into a Super Saiyan was Vegeta's own flesh and blood, as Piccolo blurted out the truth by mistake.

While the group was flabbergasted by both bombshells just dropped, 20 proceeded to declare their destruction by the hands of 17 and 18, then blew up Bulma's plane and began escaping on foot, but she and chibi Trunks was saved by Murai Trunks.

After heated words were exchanged by father and son as Trunks asked angrily why Vegeta didn't even show any concern for his wife or his alternate younger self, Bulma revealed that 20 was Doctor Gero himself. Trunks described the jinzo ningens he fought in the future, so that the others knew what to look for this time around. The Z Senshi set off to find Gero's lab to destroy the jinzo ningens before they were activated, after Bulma told them about the general location that it would be in, as Gero was the only one who knew the exact location and was set on activating more of his creations. Piccolo asked all of his students to bring the others home, as Shion wasn't that strong, and Naruto has yet to grasp the full extent of his power. Naruto refused by saying, "No way Piccolo-sensei! I didn't train all that time just to stay behind while you guys fight without Goku-sensei who's in trouble! Shion-chan, please help Gohan bring the others home. We're be back soon!" Before she could retort about being left behind, the gang flew off at a speed far greater than she could go. She sighed in resignation she proceeded to do as her boyfriend asked.

Trunks tried to warn Vegeta that he was underestimating the power of the jinzo ningens, but was ignored as the Saiyan prince simply told him not to underestimate HIS power and flew away from him at a higher speed, forcing Trunks to do the same to keep up. Meanwhile, the rest of the Z Senshi arrived at North City and decided to split up during their search for the lab. Kuririn was attacked by Gero, but was spared as to not attract attention right before he was to be killed, managed to follow him to the lab and signaled for the others. While they tried to break into the lab, Gero activated 17 and 18, who were less than inclined to obey his orders.

Much to the surprised of the Z Senshi, 17 destroyed Gero, and 18 was about to activate another jinzo ningen. As images of his horrid future flashed through his mind and afraid that history was about to repeat itself, Murai Trunk's anger rose as he went Super Saiyan and fired his most powerful ki blast, hoping to destroy the lab along with the jinzo ningens before they activated another one of their kind. Before he fired, Naruto looked shocked as he thought, 'His eyes… they're like mine.'

When the dust settled, much to everyone's shock and fear, the duo was unharmed and proceeded to activate 16. 17 and 18 learned that 16's mission was to kill Goku. Vegeta decided to follow the jinzo ningens and flew off after them before Trunks could stop him, so they had no choice but to follow. Vegeta was the first to catch up to the trio and challenged them to battle. 18 accepted the challenge.

The fight between Vegeta and 18 began. Once the others arrived, Vegeta refused their help in arrogance, much to Trunks and Naruto's chagrin. 17 agreed to allow him and 18 fight alone, as long as the others didn't interfere. As the fight went on, Vegeta realized that he was toying with her as she proceeded to dismantle him, leaving him to cry in a mix of pain and wounded pride. Worry for his father's safety and unwillingness of seeing his friends hurt respectively overriding their common sense, Trunks turned Super Saiyan, and the blonde duo charged into battle in order to save Vegeta.

Seeing them charge in without thinking, Piccolo and Ten (I'll refer to Tenshinhan as such from this point on, since it's annoying to type out his whole name when you know who I mean) tried to join in to help, but were stopped by 17 as he proceeded to beat them into submission. Trunks tried to go after 18 with his sword, but was no match for her as she shattered the blade and proceeded to pound the blonde trio. She was surprised however, when Naruto's Keyblade repelled her somehow when she tried to land a blow against it and nearly landed cuts on her, but she simply went around the blade and defeated him as well.

Meanwhile, Kuririn's body was frozen in fear as he could do nothing but watch as his friends were decimated by the duo. After they were done toying with the Z Senshi, he overheard from their conversation that they were headed for Goku's home. He tried to talk them out of going, but 16 declined, saying that it was the reason of his existence, and he must do so, with 17 agreeing. He let out a whimper as 18 walked his way.

Before she reached him however, a beat-up Naruto suddenly flew up and stood in between him and the female jinzo ningen, taking a battle-ready stance, Keyblade in hand. He shouted angrily, as 16's words were oddly familiar to an enemy and friend from long ago (For those that didn't figure it out, he was referring to Haku), "Bullshit! There's more of a reason to exist than to kill Goku-sensei! You're not going to kill him, not while I'm still breathing. And you won't hurt anymore of my friends either, so back off!" As he finished, his ki flared, surprising the four as his sword was surrounded by a strange ki. It was actually wind chakra, something that Naruto improved after much practice from what he learned from Asuma, after the Piccolo and Goku recommended him to do so, mentioning how Trunks cut Freeza in half in one strike with his. The twin jinzo ningens looked amused, while even the expressionless 16's face changed for a second as he thought, 'This one's stronger than he appears, and there's something strange about that ki surrounding that blade.'

Before he gave any indication to move however, 18 had a strange smile on her face as she walked up and kissed Naruto on the cheek, shocking him and Kuririn. She said, "You're interesting. You actually got back up after that beating I gave you, plus you were the only one who was able to put up some fight, not to mention you're kind of cute. Good luck, I think you should help your wounded friends now." The two stood frozen in shock, with a blush on Naruto's face as she flew off with 16 and 17.

Coming out of his state of shock, Kuririn shook his new friend and yelled, "What was that? She kissed you, KISSED you man! Aw man, that could've been me!" That finally snapped Naruto out of his stupor, as he shook his head and retorted, "Wha-what're you saying? She's a jinzo ningen, our enemy! Even if she IS pretty. What am I saying? I'm already with Shion-chan! I can't cheat on her! What am I going to do?"

Before he could continue his state of panic any further, Kuririn's expression changed to a serious one as he noticed his defeated friends' beaten bodies lying down at the valley next to the road. He shook Naruto to snap him out of it and said, "Look, don't worry about that now. Here, take half of these Senzu Beans. We'll give one to each of the others to eat them." Naruto simply nodded as they proceeded to do so, healing them. Needless to say, Naruto was amazed at what the Senzu Beans could do, as they looked completely fine after each ate a bean.

After being restored to full strength, a frustrated Vegeta flew off before anybody could stop him. Trunks was about to go after him, but was stopped by Kuririn, who told him that his pride was hurt, and that he just needed to be alone for a while. Realizing that they couldn't beat the jinzo ningens on their own, Piccolo flew towards Karin Tower, after warning the others not to follow him and actually blasted them, albeit half-heartedly, much to most of the others' confusion. Kuririn proceeded to explain to them that he went to re-merge with Kami to return to his original state and most powerful form, supposedly greater than that of a Super Saiyan, giving the others hope at his words, as they needed all the help they could get.

The jinzo ningens decided to head to Goku's home by hitting the road through a delivery van, but were delayed by a minor street gang and the police. The Z Senshi however, decided to move Goku to Muten Roshi's Island home, as they proceeded to move his body, futon and all onto a plane and were off. Meanwhile, Kami was contemplating about Piccolo's offer to re-merge.

During the flight to Roshi's home, Chichi pulled out a huge stack of homework for Gohan to work on during the flight, much to the boy's chagrin. Trunks apologized to the others for not revealing the truth of his identity on his first trip. The others waved it off, knowing that he was only protecting his own existence. He smiled and wondered what he was going to do now, considering possibly going back in time to destroy Gero's lab as a viable option. Right then and there, the Keyblade activated, and Yuko appeared again, surprising everyone.

Naruto was about to complain to her about leaving them with no clues as to how to leave this world, but was stopped by Shion's hand on his shoulder as he saw her shake her head. Yuko said, "It wouldn't work, for you came from an alternate timeline. Going to another timeline's past would only save that one timeline's future, and not this one." Trunks put his fist on his other hand as he understood what she was saying. Bulma looked surprised and amazed at what she was seeing as she asked, "Naruto, how did your sword do that? And who's the woman on that screen?"

Shion proceeded to explain how and why Naruto came to this world, as the others nodded in understanding. Trunks spoke, "I see. So your predicament is similar to my own, although not for the same reasons." Naruto said, "Maybe, but we're the same," The others looked at him in confusion, wondering what he meant. "We have the same eyes. We've both lost precious people to us and felt alone, but we want to protect our precious people." As he said the part about loss, the image of Sasuke crossed his mind. Trunks looked shocked as the blonde read him like a book, as images of the Z Senshi dead flashed across his mind, while the others were more confused than ever. Both he and the half-Saiyan then told the others of their tragic pasts, shocking the others and made them sympathize with the two young warriors.

Naruto held out his hand to Trunks and said, "We may be doing this for different reasons, but let's work together to help our friends and give this world a future!" Inspired by his words, Trunks took the shinobi's hand and returned the handshake with a smile, as while his mannerisms were different, his enthusiasm reminded him of his mentor and best friend, the late Murai Gohan. "Yeah, let's do it!" The others smiled at the sight of the two, who seemed to have created a new junomari (bond), not noticing that Yuko already closed the connection.

Despite Bulma's multiple attempts to borrow the Keyblade to examine it with the promise of giving it back without damage, the blonde duo politely declined, as it was their only way home, not to mention Naruto's weapon in battle. Just then, they received information of a strange Capsule Corporation vehicle that resembled Trunks' time capsule, for it looked like it sat there for a long time, with a hole on top and moss grown and other plants grown over it. But then, Trunks said that his was right there with him, showing his capsule to the others, not damaged at all.

Mystified by what it could mean, Naruto, Gohan and Trunks decided to join Bulma to investigate, as they arrived at the crash site of said capsule, only to find an eerie clue, a huge empty shell of a creature that looked like a giant bug. Could they solve this mystery AND find a way to defeat the jinzo ningens?
