I don't own Naruto or dragon ball z

Chapter 3: Team time

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Goku sighed as he sat on a roof top. He had been thinking about it. He should go see Lee. The lad probably-. Goku blinked as a kunai stick in the wall beside him. He glance to see Ten-ten some way off. 'I hope that was an accurate throw...' Goku sat up as she jumped over.

She landed before him. "Where have you been? Lee's been worried as hell about you...?" Ten-ten spoke.

Goku stood. "I didn't want to show my face. I gave Lee too much expectation for my skills. And look where it got me. And I bet Lee was hurt for what he believed to have been crushed..." Goku spoke looking down.

Ten-ten sighed. "Look right now Lee's been nothing but a sad sight. All because he can't find you. He's not performing on missions and even in training. Gai's worried as am I. Neji's indifferent."

"He is...?" Goku asked.

Ten-ten nodded. "He's worried about where you are. Or if you're angry at him for making you go through that. Look, come with me to see Lee. And tell him he did nothing wrong." Ten-ten spoke. Goku glanced at her.

"Ok."

XXXXXXXXXX

He was far different to 6 months ago. Lee had gone back to his white outfit. His training had lapsed. And he was more down that the earth's core. Not what Goku was expecting.

"Lee..." Ten-ten spoke. Lee glance to her then to Goku. He looked surprised then looked way.

"Why is Naruto here?" Lee asked. Goku spoke up.

"Lee. I didn't mean for you to end up like this. You did nothing wrong." Goku stated. "I thought I crushed what you expected of me. So I hid. I didn't want to show my face to you or your team... So Lee... Come on... I don't want to see my friend like this..."

Lee looked at Goku. "Naruto... You didn't do anything wrong. It was my fault that you ended up like that..." Lee spoke.

Ten-ten spoke up. "Ok you've both apologised. And I'm stopping it there. For it will just yo-yo left and right. Now come on Lee. You said something about Goku needing a sword. So you can join us to best shop I get my stuff from." Lee nodded as did Goku.

Goku could tell Lee was feeling better and happier by Ten-ten's words. "Yosh! Let's go Naruto-kun..." Lee spoke.

"Now that's the Lee I remember..." Ten-ten said.

XXXXXXXXX

Goku blinked as he looked at the large set of blades. "Wow..." Goku spoke. Lee was much the same. Ten-ten was in the back ground glaring at the shop keeper. For trying to kick Goku out. Ten-ten threatened to stop shopping. It got the right results.

"So which blade should I get...?" Goku asked Ten-ten.

"The best one is to get a blade that feels right for you..." Ten-ten spoke.

"Meaning..?"

Ten-ten sighed. "If you swing the blade and it doesn't feel right. Then it's not the right blade for you..."

"But won't practice...?" Goku asked.

"Yes... And no... Yes, that practice works. But the best blade is the one that fit's you from the start..."

Goku glanced at the weapons. "Give me time..."

And he spent the next half hour trying a swinging each blade in hand. Each failing to give that right feel to it.

"You got anything else...? Maybe something in the back...?" Ten-ten asked the shop keeper.

"No."

Ten-ten scowled. "Don't lie to me. I've seen something in the back. Otherwise we'll come back tomorrow and stay all day..."

The man growled in annoyance. "Fine, follow me..." Ten-ten followed while Goku and Lee waited.

The pair returned with 3 boxes.

"These blades are the most expensive. Take a look... And I'll need cash on these..." The owner said. Goku took the boxes aside.

"How expensive are they?" Ten-ten asked.

Goku glanced at the green box with a blue warrior engraved on it. It was the longest of the three. He opened it to find a blue sheathed katana with a white hilt. Goku gripped the handle. Only to feel a numbing sensation.

"That much... Are you insane?" Ten-ten asked. "Oh believe me I am. These blades choose their owner. I've had many come in. And they will pay high price for these..."

Goku shut the box and looked to the shortest. A black box with a red dragon on it. He opened it to find a black hilt?

"Each blade is unique Ten-ten..." The shop keeper said. "They come from the greatest shinobi that ever lived. Far greater than the sannin. The green box belonged to a great samurai that could attack with his blade from a distance. Killing his foes before they got meters in front of him. The one in the black box belonged to a great chakra user. That could form chakra into fine blade's that could cut through rock and steel if used at high temperature."

Goku gripped the rod only to get electricity running up his hand. Goku grunted and pulled his hand back. The pair turned to Goku. "So lad, anything?" The shop keeper asked.

"One more..." Goku spoke putting the black box to the side. He turned to the white box with a silver tiger on it.

"And the final one?" Ten-ten asked.

"No one knows... The user vanished with the secrets to his grave. No one has yet to find out how or what the blade did or could do. Since all died ever facing it." The man said.

Goku opened the box to find a white hilted blade. The base of the hilt had a tiger's head. The hilt curved round like a cane, but didn't fully curve over. The guard was an open mouthed tiger. More of the hilt went beyond the blade that formed a sort curved dagger. Then the metal of the blade curved out like a scimitar. Goku gripped the hilt and this time he heard the roar of a tiger in his head. Goku held the blade up. Then swung in motion quickly as if he was using his dagger. The blade moved with incredible ease.

"I'll take it..." Goku spoke. The price tag was revealed. And it was indeed expensive. "Can you give me 30 minutes...?" Goku asked.

"You mean you can afford that?" Ten-ten asked. Goku nodded. With living out in the forest you save quiet a lot over 5 years.

"Ok and hurry. The store closes at that time..." The guy said but Goku was out the door.

Goku jumped over the stream that ran through the town and onto the houses jumping from one to another as he ran. A large gap came into sight and Goku released an aura and jumped high up using both flight and his own skill's.

Shinobi's jaws dropped as Goku landed on a high building. Goku then jumped and flipped over the river before landing on the grass the other side. Goku then jumped and flipped landing on the roof before jumping again and running at full speed to the end of houses. The wall around the hokage building in sight.

Goku jumped the wall and ran round the side. He then ran into the building and ran right passed everyone that called for him to stop till Goku burst into the hokage's room waking the old man up from his 'work'.

"Ugh!" The old man fell backwards off his chair.

XXXXX

"He's not going to make it..." Ten-ten spoke.

"He'll be here. Naruto-kun has his way's..." Lee spoke with more excitement at the closeness. Goku will pull off the most trickiest tasks at hand.

"30 second's..." Ten-ten spoke as the man began to turn the lights off and lock up.

"5..." Ten-ten started. It was cut off as Goku landed crouching in front of her. He didn't waste time as he ran in with the bag of cash and popped it on the table.

"There." Goku sighed. "The third gave me the exact amount, plus a bonus, for letting me buy from the store..." Goku spoke the last bit quietly. The man grunted.

"Don't think it will be all the time. Be thankful of that girl. Now take the blade and go. And don't be by here anytime soon. Otherwise I'll never have any business..."

Goku nodded as he held the box under his arm.

As he left the store the door locked. "Later Lee. Thanks Ten-ten...!" Goku spoke as he took off home. The girl just blinked as Lee waved and took off home in better spirit than the beginning of the day.

XXXXXXX

That night Goku practiced with the blade. "Ugh. Kattoha!" Goku yelled firing a crescent wave of energy. Goku grinned. He then put more energy and aimed at the waterfall. "Kattoha..!!" Goku was blinded by a white light as he was blown back by the large wave of white silvery energy that sliced the waterfall in two.

Goku groaned. "What was that...?" Goku asked sitting up.

"That would be me boy..." Goku blinked and looked about. "The blade...Boy..." Goku blinked again before looking at the hilt. The tiger's eyes glowing red. "Hello Goku..." Goku stared in shock. The tiger grinned. "Hehe. I know everything about you... Super saiyan Son Goku... You're mind is that of an open book to me..." Goku just stared.

"I've never met a blade that has ever talked to me..." Goku spoke.

"They didn't say this blade was unknown for a reason..." The tiger spoke.

"Who are you then...?" Goku asked.

"My name... Is Liger..." The tiger spoke.

"Ok... Err. How have you come to be speaking to me now...?"

"Heh..." The tiger grinned. "The release of that Kattoha... Has awakened me... I have seen a lot about you Goku. And look forward to talking more. For I have a lot to teach you... But for now I must rest and get used to your chi... We will talk through telepathy should we be around anyone. Unless you want them to know..." Goku nodded and the tiger's eyes turned white and closed. Goku blinked before sheathing the blade in the white cloth sheath he carried for this blade.

XXXXXXX

Goku ran through konoha the next morning. He was heading to get his ninja licence. "Can't believe I over slept... This is a first..." Goku muttered to himself as he ran round the corner only to run into someone.

Goku groaned. "Oh Naruto heh sorry..." Goku blinked to see Sakura there. "Oh heh. Sakura sorry about that... I was in a hurry to get my licence and was distracted..." Goku said standing.

"Err... Say how about I join you...?" Sakura asked.

"It's ok... I'm fine. You don't have too..." Goku spoke. "Actually... I could do with some help on something..." Goku asked. Sakura nodded.

"Ok then... What is it?" Sakura asked as she followed. She eyed the new weapon and staff on Goku's back.

"Well. I've been thinking a long time. But I was hoping I wouldn't need to search." Sakura blinked in confusion.

"You see. I got gifted from a girl who called herself the girl in the back ground. See, I got this tanto here." Goku spoke showing the blade. "I've made an upgrade since I got it. This ring at the base of the hilt is so I can spin it like a saw on my fingers. I used to get coupons beforehand. But... Well, I wasn't allowed in food places but ichiraku's. So I kept all but that. And gave the rest to Chouji."

"Isn't that a bit mean? What if the girl found out?"

"If she did. Then I guess I can't do much about that. I gave her a gift when I got this."

"But you still don't know who it is? What you get her?" Goku grinned.

"She asked for a necklace. I got one with help by one of my friends. Do you know a girl who wears a necklace with an orange gemmed heart design? I was thinking about waiting for her to show up one day. But I just want to meet her now."

Sakura mused for a minute. "I may be able to help. Ino's the gossip. She would know if anything."

"That's great! I'll go find her after I've got my licence." Goku said running off.

"I'll have Ino in the park. Meet us there!" Sakura yelled.

"Will do!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The third looked the c.v over. "Hmm... Not bad Naruto. Ok... We'll have your licence ready by the end of the day and sent to you..." The third said. Goku nodded. Instantly Goku sensed danger and threw a kunai at the door. Then freaked out in worry as it missed the small kid by inches.

The kid yelped and fell backwards. The hokage sweated, but then sighed. "Another attempt on me Konohamaru?" Hizuren Sarutobi asked.

The lad quickly stood. "Who did that?!" Konohamaru asked.

"Sorry Hokage-sama. My bad. But I've got to get going..." Goku spoke walking.

"Yeah... Later Naruto..." The hokage sighed.

"Oi what was the big idea with that kunai! You could have killed me!" Konohamaru yelled, pointing at Goku.

"Sorry. You revealed your spot and I could tell you were going for the third. So I intervened. Good thing it missed you since I was aiming for movement of someone older.

Goku then walked by the lad and down the hall. A jonin calling out as he ran past him. For the honourable grandson.

XXXXXX

Goku reached the park and found Ino and Sakura waiting. Ino with a big grin that made Goku worried about this.

"So... We're going to find out who it was that was giving you... Them gift's...?" Ino asked.

"All we have to do is ask where the person got the information... Ino since you were the last one. Why not you go to that person?" Goku asked. Ino nodded.

"Yeah that could work..." With that the three began their hunt.

XXXX

"So Naruto..." Sakura asked as Ino questioned her friend's.

"Hmm...?"

"What's with the blade...? And the staff..? I know about the tanto... But..?" Sakura asked.

"Well the staff, has been with me for years. It's the strongest weapon in my equipment. Then the blade I got yesterday thanks to my friend Lee and his friend Ten-ten... Both are pretty good..." Goku spoke.

Sakura nodded and hm'd. "Say, can I see the tanto?" Sakura asked. Goku nodded.

"Why not, here..." Goku spoke pulling the tanto out and passed Sakura the blade and took a look for a bit.

"Ok..." Ino spoke up. "I've been going with information. And since it was so long back not one remembers much about it... So the search has ended. Not very resolving..." Ino spoke.

Goku sighed. "We'll I guess it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway Sakura. Ino..." Goku spoke taking the tanto back and walked off.

XXXX

Goku sighed as he turned to a tree. "Ok come on out... You have made your point you were going to follow me all the way from the hokage's to this point..." Goku said turning.

"Heh. Just what I would expect from my rival..." Konohamaru spoke.

"Rival...? In what?" Goku asked.

"Heh, hokage of course... You're going to be my rival to become hokage..." Konohamaru spoke.

"No thanks..." Goku said turning away.

"Oi what you doing?! Do you know what being the hokage mean's?" The boy yelled.

"Yeah I do..." Goku said looking to the boy. "And I don't need to be hokage to protect everyone in this village..." Goku then turned to walk off leaving the boy blinking.

XXXXXXXXXX

Goku yawned the next morning. "Time for my first day as a shinobi..." Goku yawned.

"Goku my boy I have something for you..." Kaio spoke.

"Hay Kaio-sensei. It's been a while..." Goku spoke.

"It has but now I've got you new clothing for your line of work. Hope you like it. It's in the draw..." Goku got up and opened the draw. He grinned.

"Sweet..."

XXX

The streets were unaware of Goku's presence as he walked through the crowd. But if they took not in the colour. Then yeah. They would notice him. But Goku was keeping his presence so low only the eyes of young children would take note at the colour.

Goku wore black hakama that were tucked into his black boots. An orange strip ran down the middle of the boots.

He wore a long sleeve, black shirt. On the inside of the shirt he had the symbol for kaio. Something from his mentor. Under the sleeves he wore orange wrist bands. An orange sash round his waist.

On top of the shirt. He wore his traditional vest. Dark orange in colour with a black sash. It was made with a custom hood which Goku wore up to see his he can go un-noticed by everyone.

On his right leg was his kunai holster. And the side of his waist he was a pouch. His tanto was now horizontal at the back of his waist. Over his left shoulder. He carried the Nyoi-bo flat to his body. His scimitar rested across his back. The hilt at the right shoulder.

'Kaio-sensei... I think I'll enjoy this outfit for quite some time...'

XXXXXX

Goku entered the class room and took a seat at the back near the window. His hood up to see who would take notice of him. Or ask where he was...

"Hay Naruto..." Goku blinked and saw Shikamaru. Cause he would. The hidden genius of the boy never missed a thing.

"How you know it was me?" Goku asked.

"The staff..."

"Got ya..." Goku spoke as Shikamaru took a seat. As children entered... Goku wondered who his teammates would be...

'I really don't mind anyone. It would be good to work with anyone who wants too...'

Iruka walked in on his. Mizuki nowhere to be found. "Where's Mizuki sensei?" One of the kids asked.

"Mizuki has gone missing. That is all I can give..." Iruka spoke. "Now on to team's. The listing's are here. So you don't get to decide. Right..." Iruka spoke. "Team 1. Naruto Uzumaki..."

Goku glanced up. 'First off the bat...'

"Sakura Haruno... And Genpaku shichirobei..." Goku blinked. 'I remember. He's only been in this class since last year...' Goku glanced to find the boy leaning back on his chair with little care.

XXXXXX

"Hay Genpaku... Want to join us for food?" Sakura asked. "No... But let's get one thing clear..." Genpaku spoke. Goku took a good look at his teammate.

Genpaku was about as tall as Sasuke. Maybe a bit more.... He had blue eyes with short brown hair. He wore white hakama with brown shinobi foot wear. He wore a white long sleeve robe on top. He wore a brown leather vest on top of it. For around his waist was a white sash. Down the right side of his leg some of the leather from the vest hung down passed his right knee.

'I sense another blade in this lad's hands. The one's you looked over. He carries one. The dragon...' Liger spoke. But Goku didn't voice anything back.

"That I take lead got it..." Genpaku then turned to leave. Goku took notice of the large blade on his back. But his eyes spotted the hilt from yesterday. This guy must be good with chakra.

Now if Goku remembered. The hilt was black. It was designed like a katana hilt with red patterns to it. The top was circular with a black spiral on the outside of the ring. A silver strip on the inside of the grip.

'Keep an eye on that child. He's very strong. And I can sense great emotion that will lead him on a dark path if not careful...' Goku nodded

"What a jerk..." Sakura spoke.

"I wonder why he's like that." Goku asked.

"Who knows? God I hope he's not on our team long..." Sakura spoke.

"Don't be like that. Once we get to know him. And he, us. Then we will be the best of friend's..." Goku spoke.

Sakura sighed. "Hope so..."

XXXXXXX

Sakura sighed as she leaned back. "I'm bored." She spoke.

"Welcome to my world." Genpaku spoke. Sakura glared only to find Genpaku not even looking their way. Goku snored lightly. Sakura sighed again.

"Where the hell is our sensei!?" Sakura yelled. Seems like their sensei is late? They had been told their sensei is normally on time. But other times can be as late as Kakashi. Even more. And to the point when she can't even make it at all.

"Naruto... Wake up... I'm bored." Sakura spoke as she pushed the blond.

"Beef...." Goku muttered in his sleep.

Sakura sweat dropped. 'Him and his food.'

The door opened and the two looked to the entrance. Sakura nudged Goku a bit harder. Goku grunted s he blinked a couple of times.

The jonin that stood at the door looked to be in her 20's. She wore brown lacks with a black belt. She wore a skin tight black long sleeve shirt with a green jacket on top. Her head band was hanging from her belt to the side. She was tall person. Maybe about Iruka's height with a slender body. She had fiery red hair that rested down to just about midway down her back. And had bright green eyes. Said eye's which were now aimed at the three.

"Team1?" She asked. Sakura nodded. "Follow me." She said turning round and walked out the door.

XXXXX

"Hm..." The jonin looked over the three genin. 'Can these guys handle the task?' She took a breath. "Let's get to know each other. We'll say our likes. Dislike. Hobbies and dream's for the future. So starting from the left." The jonin spoke pointing to Goku.

"Name's Naruto Uzumaki. I like food. And I enjoy training with my friend's. I dis-like people who harm people close to me. And other's for their own gain. My hobbies are sparing and making new techniques. My dream..." Goku pondered for a bit.

"To protect the village no matter what they think of me." Goku said. The jonin nodded then pointed to the next in line.

"Name's Genpaku Shichirobei. I really don't feel like giving my secret's to people I'll leave when I make chunin."

"I won't have that. Now you tell me at least one thing in each now." The jonin ordered.

"Like training. Hate you. Hobbies are working on my skills. Dream. Not saying."

The jonin gave an annoyed growl. "Fine. Guess that will do. You next." The jonin spoke.

"My name's Sakura Haruno. I like... My friend Ino. I dis-like people who seem to think there to good for their over sized head." Sakura's eye's glared at Genpaku.

"My hobbie's... Well... Err..." Sakura scratched her cheek. "To be honest... I haven't really got one." Sakura said.

"Oh come on. I'm sure you have at least one. What do you like to do?" The jonin asked.

Sakura through for a moment. '....Ah!' "Reading."

"There we go. Now dreams?" The jonin asked.

"Er... I'd rather not say." Sakura said. The red on her face wasn't un-noticed by her sensei.

The jonin smiled. "Good. Now it's my turn. My names Kimie Ariuru. But you will call me Kim sensei." Kim spoke.

"I like danger. And being in it. Like being in a cave in. Or sky diving."

Sakura and Genpaku sweated a bit. 'I hope we don't have that happen to us.' Goku didn't mind. He could fly what was his problem.

"I dis-like my rival's in my job. And when something doesn't go my way. My hobbie's are to excel at new thing's. My dream has already been completed." Kim said. She looked at the genin. "Ok. This is what we're going to do."

XXXXXXXX

Goku and Sakura looked left and right as they walked through the town. "This shop is going to be hard to find." Sakura spoke.

"We need someone who can look for what we need." Goku spoke.

"You know what Naruto. I think I know someone. If she can."

Half an hour later both had found Hinata Hyuuga.

"Wh-what...?" Hinata asked.

"Can you help us look for a shop?" Sakura asked.

"Our sensei need's us to gather equipment from this place. Our budget is set and we need this place to get everything." Goku said. Hinata nodded slowly.

"What's the s-shop's name?" Hinata asked.

"Something odd. The rock shack." Sakura said. Hinata looked at the name on the paper then nodded.

"H-hai. I'll help. B-but I can't be gone too long." Both nodded.

Back out in the street's Hinata formed seal's. "Byakugan!" She called. Both stood waiting as Hinata scanned the village. Hinata's eye's returned to normal and she turned to them. "T-there's a place off to the side of one tower's by the lake. It's under a cliff. I only caught a glimpse when I spotted Genpaku-san." Hinata said.

Both Goku and Sakura glanced at each other.

'How would Genpaku know of this place?'

XXXX

Well that's the end of this chapter. What they'll be doing is going to be something I have never read in Naruto. So I'm going to be unique with this.

Also. For the one who can find out who my jonin is. They'll play an oc as a genin or jonin for the chunin exam. Hehe. Till then.
