Chapter 4: You Cockblocking Bastard!
"So who gets to go first…"
"I will, I'm the oldest after all…"
"Bullshit, being the oldest doesn't mean anything I'm the favorite."
"What you do in Princess' room doesn't automatically make you the favorite, you little…."
"What me and the Princess do is our business…"
"Mm-hm…well you won't be anymore with her new pet."
'Why wouldn't they shut up' Naruto thought. Almost an hour of bickering and still they couldn't come to a resolution. He didn't know what these women wanted with him or to do with him for the matter. But the constant argument was beginning to give him a splitting headache. It was just like in his gennin days. Sakura and Ino.
"No, I will always be her favorite…"
"Hah, in your dreams…have you seen Goku she won't even remember your name by the end of the day. I guarantee you."
"Don't be jealous you…"
He couldn't move a muscle, but he was apparently left in a semi-conscious state, for some reason. Was it because he was dead maybe?
Hey wait...if he was dead then how the hell could he be poisoned? Didn't poison need to function Biologically? As in living flesh and cells. Was there special poison for spirits? What was with people and wanting to kill each other...
Now that he thought about it...what would happen if he died right now? Would he just disappear or something? That would really-
With a jerk, he shook himself out of his current train of thought, trying to focus on what was happening...though...in reality he didn't know why. They were still arguing.
Not able to move any part of his body and left to the whims of these bickering women was hell. He'd heard stories from Jiraiya about being in this kind of situation before but at the time he guessed the old letch was telling him the truth when he told him it was one of the greatest and wildest experiences of his life. Lying old fart, this was not fun. For the past half hour he'd been trying to wiggle his big toe.
"Oh will both of you shut up, we're wasting precious time the Princess may call upon us at any moment. We should have our fun before we have to return."
"Yes, you're probably right."
"Well he's already prepared should we get started."
Naruto laid rigid trying desperately to fight off the drugs in his system. He clenched his closed eyelids and strained everything to be able to move. But to no avail was he able to do anything, he remained motionless like a heavy rock sunk in a river. He couldn't feel anything happening around him, and he still wasn't sure what they were doing for the matter.
"He's already lathered and oiled."
"Let's play janken then and see who goes first."
"Alright, is everyone ready? One, two, three…"
"Yes! Me first I'll be the first to have a taste."
He waited for something to happen; not even a second passed when slowly he began to feel the touch and indents of their fingers pressing on his skin. They walked up towards his chest tentative and sharp. The women talked in low whispers tickling his body with their warm breathe. At first he didn't pay much heed of what they were doing he was just happy he could feel at all and their touch. But what happened next was something he'd never experienced before in his life. The suddenness of the said experienced caused him to spring up from his current position.
"What the Fuck!" Naruto yelled out. He looked around him meeting the eyes of four surprised women spread around his form. A light nibble drew his eyes down at the wide eyed figure of one of the women who looked like she was latched on his nipple. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Having a taste of you," She said simply, trailing a hand across his stomach.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Naruto said.

Princess Snake watched with mild interest, as Goku grimaced and shook his head from side to side trying to ward off sleep. Curious, she pulled the mirror of dreams once again and looked inside his mind. The mirror slowly began to materialize again, this time showing his two loved ones in a house, the young woman teaching the small boy.
But not so long after a loud crash resonated the room and both occupants looked towards the kicked in door, seeing two figures fill the door frame. Their evil chuckles filled the vicinity of the area, as the woman pulled her son close to her body and watched with horror as they neared.
Where's Daddy…
Chichi held the boy tightly shielding him as she screamed when both figures attacked.
Goku woke with a start, hitting the mirror with his head, sending the contraption towards a nearby wall shattering it in pieces. Princess Snake moved back tripping over her long dress and falling on her rump. Her features turned instantly back into her original persona watching as the Saiyan looked frantically around him.
"What," He breathed, "Chichi? Gohan?" He stopped, exhaling a sigh of relief realizing the situation he was in, and seeing the Princess on the floor with servants starting to appear by her side. "Oh, I was dreaming," shaking his head from side to side, he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. "I don't even remember dozing off."
"Fool," Princess Snake said venomously. "You said three days. Bah."
"Oops?" the servant said dumbly.
"Oh man, I forgot I need to get going," Goku said, beginning to turn away from the women.
"Why Goku? I-I'm sure Chichi and Gohan are fine," Princess Snake replied, putting a comforting hand on the Saiyan's chest.
"Hey, that's strange," Goku said suspiciously, his voice deepening. "My wife and my son, who told you their names?" Goku's demeanor grew cold and irritated as he walked away from her touch.
"O-oh, why you did, at dinner" she said, a bit shaken by Goku's change.
"No I didn't" He replied with conviction, keeping his back turned. "I would've remembered. Now where is Naruto?" He commanded, stopping to look for him.
"Darn You," Princess Snake said sharply, she hissed as she transformed into her demon self. Goku feeling the room change under a different pressure he turned around quickly getting into a defensive position. He watched with a bewildered expression as the Princess and her servants were turned completely.
"Stay away from me," Goku threatened. "All of you." Raising his right arm in front of him, he curved two fingers, while his left arm was pulled back rendering his body in a crouch. He waited for any kind of attack that would follow to give him a better position to defend all sides when they began to surround him.
Princess Snake laughed mockingly, "You're already much deeper than you think." She hissed, her tongue slithering passed her lips. "You fool, it's true I wasn't able to deceive your heart, but your eyes," She said, pointing her fingers in the direction of his eyes. "What about your eyes? Have they been deceived?" Princess snake laughed manically before she raised her arm and disappeared instantly along with her servants in tow.
Goku looked on all sides and watched with morbid fascination as the building slowly began to blend in together. The colors commingling with one another, he clenched his hands by his side realizing the colors close in around him before disappearing completely revealing the true nature of the vicinity. He was left stunned. "Oh no…I'm in…"
"In a Snake," A voice interrupted, laughing uncontrollably, "You're in the belly of a snake. My belly." Goku's eyes widened when he looked down to see a liquid begin to cover his shoes entirely, he pulled his leg with difficulty from the pungent odor. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, watch out for my indigestive juices. They're hot enough to melt even the toughest of men."
"Woah," he hopped from one foot to another, trying not sizzle from existence. He avoided the acid as best as possible but watched when a large drop fell from the upper cavern of the stomach and land right on his shoulder. The liquid burned through the material quickly. "Oh man, no joke. Time to Vamoose."
But a certain yell stopped him from going anywhere. Through all the commotion he'd forgotten his comrade in the process. "Stupid." Goku said, smacking his forehead before flying deeper into the belly of the Snake.

Home
Gohan watched happily at his home. He finally made it. Through everything he went through the hardships he'd faced in the wild. From robots, dinosaurs, hunger, the sea, labor, and the most recent adventure, having a run in with his orphan friends. He made it.
He could see the silhouette of his mother sitting, and then stand up completely, walking towards his study books and place the palm of her hand on it. A picture flew in the air slowly descending in front of her, before being caught swiftly. The young Saiyan smiled happily seeing his mother after all this time. He took a step towards the direction of his home, but was stopped when voices and faces passed across his mind.
So what's your mom like Gohan?
I think it's great that you have a home
Keep it up, huh? There's a whole world out there
His newly formed friendships. His friends, who he left behind. Being put in the care of the social workers who were looking for them. His eyes widened seeing the whole scene flash across his eyes once again. It damn near broke his heart seeing the betrayal on the orphan's faces as Pigoro, their hero, left them behind.
He didn't understand it.
He cried then. Watching the scene unfold as he found himself being driven away in a car by Pigoro. When they'd stopped, he had asked frantically why, what was the reason to leave them. But he was punched, giving Pigoro time to speak. His words were cryptic, but understandable, Pigoro's eyes watered from the pain he felt leaving the orphans.
He gave up. Pigoro, their leader, couldn't give them a better life than what they were given. He wasn't strong enough to protect them or keep them from harm. But by leaving them under someone stronger, capable, with a round of resources, he'd reasoned, was a better decision for the orphans. He had to do what's best, even if it meant not having them around him anymore. He did it for them.
Gohan took a step back realizing the magnitude of Pigoro's actions and what the words meant. It hit home in the young Saiyan's mind. His heart tightened, finally understanding the meaning behind his sacrifice. I can't go home now. The whole world is counting on me to defend them against the Saiyans.' Gohan thought, turning his eyes towards his mother, he smiled. He had to do the same. "Don't worry mom." He turned away completely and ran from his mom, and his home. His eyes watered with the tears falling like rain across his cheeks being swept up in the wind. "I'll be home soon."
He continued running, running from his mom, running away from the safety of his home on his own accord. He wasn't being forced, he had decided on this step on his own. The young Saiyan unexpectedly felt a growing pride within his chest. Gohan wiped the tears from his eyes when he finally stopped. The air surrounded his small frame, the garden's roses being swept in the whirlwind. The petals dancing across his face. He turned in the direction of the sudden rise in ki and saw familiar cape billowing in the evening air.
The tall form of his teacher standing on a small cliff above his position, his arms crossed in front him. "You've been through a lot Kid, but here is where you decide." The Namekian said, his eyes staring intensely at the young Saiyan. "To train or go home."
Gohan looked on remaining quiet. His decision already made up when he left behind his home. Leaving behind his world, to accept a new one. A world his father fought every day in his life to protect. To keep everyone in this world safe and happy. Sacrifice…
Piccolo watched his pupil remain quiet, but the tremors he felt in the vicinity was all the answer he needed when the young Saiyan looked up with eyes determined and on fire. He sneered, realizing the abilities of this young boy could be limitless. "What is your mission, Gohan?" He questioned already knowing the answers. This boy was the future. From the moment he laid eyes on Goku's son, he knew he was destined to be great. The only question was how far was the boy willing to go…and how to get him there. "Say it."
"To prepare for the Saiyans," Gohan said. "To fight," He let the sentence ring in the air before turning in the direction of Piccolo. His face set in a determined expression, eyes hard as stone, fists tightly clenched, he continued. "And defend the Earth."
A silence settled between both warriors. Piccolo remained rooted in place, never moving a single muscle. The same being said of the younger Saiyan.
Piccolo smirked, "Let's go back."

Chichi sadly watched the two loves of her life in the same picture. Her husband and her young son. Goku and Gohan. She sighed wistfully, letting her head drop on her hand which she had placed over her sons books and waited. Always waiting…
But a sudden jolt shocked her when she heard her sons voice ring in her mind, she turned towards the direction of the forest. Her spirits lifted, she watched with an anxious expression, but all she saw was the endless forest. Her smile faltered for a bit when five minutes had passed, but she held the picture more tightly in her hand.
She knew they would come home soon.

'Where was he?' The Saiyan thought, looking from side to side heading deeper into the stomach of the snake. He avoided the pungent acid falling from the ceiling by zigzagging in different directions. The deeper he went, the smell of the liquid grew stronger. He reached a point where had to hold his breath, to not cough up a storm in the process. When all hope was but lost, he caught the movement. He quickly looked in the direction and saw Naruto covered whole in some kind of gel thing, slowly sliding down the snake towards the creatures stomach acids.
His face the only thing that could be seen smiling happily as he was being eaten alive….
"Woah," Naruto simply said. As the Princess' servants each stood up and dropped their flimsy robes down to their ankles. He gripped the sheets as they revealed their unblemished skins, wild hair cascading down their shoulders resting on their lower back. Naruto gave a gulp when they reached in front of them to unhook their lingerie. Ample bosoms were all he could see. But all the women stopped from taking it off completely when one of the servants came forth.
"Hold on, why don't we let him choose who he wants, that way…he can take it all off. We don't want to scare the poor boy."
All the women in the room nodded in agreement and turned their gazes towards Naruto, watching with expecting eyes. Giving poses that were unsuitable for the eyes of minors….Especially him. Damn it! Each women gave him a come hither look, exuding pheromones that were hard to ignore. They were more beautiful than the last, curvaceous, buxom, long and lean legs that seemed to go on forever. The flimsy underwear not leaving anything to the imagination of what lied under them.
He couldn't talk. It was if his mouth was glued shut and he could only mumble in return. In all seriousness, he was still bringing himself down after the initial…first taste. Unconsciously, he rubbed the spot where he was a bitten. He could still feel their fingertips leaving searing marks across his skin when they undressed him. His pants the only material left on his person….for now.
"Close your eyes and choose. "
"Please Hurry," Naruto quickly closed his eyes. He felt every woman in the room moving around him each one bending over and whispering dirty deeds he could practice if he chose them. A round went by and he still hadn't chosen. The women grew desperate as time went by and pushed the boundary…provoking the young jinchuuriki.
"I want you Naruto. Give me a taste…" her voice like velvet through one ear and staying put inside. Her mouth hovered over his own feeling her hot breathe against his. She smirked and gently brushed a hand along his chest before moving away.
Others more literal and to the point.
"I can rock your world baby," came another woman, licking gingerly across his cheek making sure to press up her bosom firmly against his body before chuckling with Naruto's reaction. But the next woman that stood before him trapped his mind in her whims. Talking with just the right amount of lilt in her voice.
"I'm the one you want Naruto…by the time I'm through with you. You won't know what's up from down." Naruto's eyes slowly opened then, and his gaze rested on the last woman who gave that claim.
All coherent thought truly left him when this…woman…stared right at him. She topped them all. Woman you only see in books, mags, and TV, almost impossible to find. Smiling with a twisted glee she announced proudly, "I win." The other women stared dejectedly but remained rooted watching as she took her prize. The voluptuous woman put her hands on the foot of the bed giving a smile of pure sin.
The young jinchuuriki gulped loudly, when she began to crawl towards him. Slowly, moving across his body, making damn sure to give him an ample view of her barely constrained boobs straining against the flimsy material. Every move towards him her assets moved slightly, almost, hypnotically. Drool fell passed his lips not even realizing it, until she did the unthinkable.
She grabbed his hand, in her own, and used his finger to wipe it gently. She brought it close to her lips, planting small kisses at first on his index finger before she put it in her mouth and swallowed it whole. He watched in amazement as her skillful tongue lapped across his finger, he wasn't fooling anyone, he was hard a long, long time ago. The one that did it, was when she gave the finger a slight suck and looked directly into his eyes.
She only smiled in kind when she climbed on top of him. He wanted to be smooth and nonchalance about this, but really what the hell was he supposed to do. He was rendered useless when she whispered in his ear. "Relax."
He closed his eyes waiting for whatever to happen. But door suddenly opened and in came a tumbling Goku. "Naruto! Come on! We're gonna Die!" He hurried right over and picked him up throwing him across his shoulders as if he was simply a rag doll. Naruto watched the women look on with sad eyes and spread open legs…
It took Naruto a moment to actually register what was going on, but when he did, his struggles held the ferocity of an animal as he kicked, punched, clawed and damn near tried to tear Goku apart. Fighting through the weakness of the drug as if it were rice paper "You cockblocking bastard! Let me go," screamed the blond, trying to elbow Goku in the back of the head.
"Hey quit it, we've got to get the hell out of here." Goku tried to get out trying to withstand the barrage Naruto feebly threw from his back. He began rise before speeding off in the direction of the exit, at least he hoped was the exit, the young jinchuuriki still screaming obscenities to his back.
"I swear, I'll Kill You, Damn you," Naruto hollered. Goku continued on, trying to avoid the acid falling from the ceilings and at the same time avoiding the elbows being thrown to smash into his skull.
He narrowly dodged an unsuspecting drop of acid by falling with it to avoid it completely. Goku regained his momentum finally seeing the light to the exit appearing. They were nearing the clearing till a burned material filled his nostrils with acrid smoke.
Eerily, even Naruto-who was thrashing minutes ago-hung over Goku's shoulder quietly.
"Goku," Naruto said.
"Yea," Goku replied.
"Is my ass on fire?" the blond said indifferently.
"Yes"
"Damn you! NOW I'M ON FIRE!" Naruto yelled. Patting his ass trying to put out the flames. He heard more hissing when he turned around to see Goku putting out the fire with his spit and patting the flame with his hand.
There was silence on the blond's part for a brief moment. Moistening his lips as if taking more time to speak would make the disturbing scene vanish altogether.
Alas...it didn't...
"Goku what are you doing."
"Putting out the fire." Goku said, smiling as he continued.
It was then Naruto decided, that this day could simply...not get any worse...there was no way.

Goku finally crossed the threshold turning around to see the huge Snake snap its mouth shut. Naruto still hanging dumbly on his shoulder, his ass still smoking from the flame. "Phew that was close," Goku said wiping the invisible sweat from his brow with a free hand. But was momentarily stunned when the snake followed suit.
"You Rat!" She drew closer gliding across the air heading towards them. Goku shouldered Naruto in a more comfortable position before flying faster in a different direction. He could feel its venomous breath drawing closer.
The snake opened its mouth breathing fire that was sent forth to scorch them. Goku quickly avoided as best he could but didn't escape unscathed, part of his clothing was singed in the process. "That's it, she's asking for it." Goku turned around ready to attack but in doing so accidentally knocked Naruto off his shoulder.
"You idiot! I hate you." Naruto hollered, falling down from the air.
"Oh man! Sorry!" Goku said, but didn't have time to help when she attacked again.
"Woah!" The Saiyan yelled out, quickly dodging another breath of flames heading his way. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Naruto land on one of the outcroppings of Snake way. He staggered for a few minutes, trying to find his legs, but lost his footing landing in a heap, the young jinchuuriki still under the effects of the sleepy grass.
Coming to a quick conclusion, he readied his hands in a familiar way speaking his desired words. "Ka-Me-Ha-Me…wait…" the Saiyan stopped abruptly. "I can't destroy her, she gave me that nice meal," Goku remembered, when they fed him all that food that was absolutely delicious. But reminiscing now…what exactly were they eating anyways? They were, after all, eating in a belly of a snake.
Goku shook off his wandering thoughts, he ate their food, he affirmed firmly, and therefore, had to find a different solution to his predicament. "Hey how about we call it truce. All I really want is to get back on the road to see King Kai…"
"You Dolt. I'll chase you for an eternity if I have to," She said, before breathing another trail of fire towards the black haired saiyan.
"Woah, I gotta think of something quick." Goku said, flying a little higher to give him a bit of leverage, but was struck with an idea instantly. " I know," the Saiyan answered his own question swiftly rising higher in the air, the snake quickly following suit.
Goku quickly dived, making sure the snake followed in his every step. The black haired saiyan drifted in different directions, looping and zigzagging making the snake entangle itself in its own long frame. When the snake almost reached Goku it was unexpectedly pulled back roughly. It was left in the end in a tangle mess, reminding Goku of a pretzel.
"Got ya," Goku smiled triumphantly. "Bye. Love to stay. But it looks like you're all tied up."
"Lame…" Naruto replied, still faced down on the pavement. "Now fuckin help me. Damn you!"
Goku quickly glided down and scooped Naruto on to his shoulder. They flew from the giant snake who kept bellowing obscenities and what seemed like a number and a 'call me please' left in its wake, both heavily ignored. They were flying for a few minutes before Goku broke the silence and turned to Naruto.
"So what were you dreaming back there? Was it good?"
"Fuck you Goku."

Somewhere along the line. Krillin was certain the day had taken a weird turn somewhere. He wasn't sure where. But somewhere along the line he had gone from training near Kame House...to here. Staring up at what must be the most Charcoal black human in history.
Next to him were Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu. And all were here to train alongside him.
Of course they thought that they would be training directly under Kami, the gentle old Namekian who held more power in his little finger than most of them, save Goku, held in their whole bodies.
But that wasn't the case. Kami had left them here with...
Whom was thoroughly creeping him out.
That smile...pasted onto his face so permanently...like he knew something the rest of them didn't...judging them...
Those blank eyes...big...round...watching...peering straight through him...piercing him as they uncovered every dirty little secret, every layer of sin...watching...judging him.
Next to Krillin, Tien opened his mouth to speak when suddenly the four foot bald human's mouth began flapping open of its own volition, words spilling forth all at once as he burst into chubby tears.
"I'msorryIknowitwaswrong...to-tospyonLaunchbathing...wh-whenIwasyounger...but...butshewassohotpleaseforgiveme-e-e-e-e!" As the last of his sentence escaped in choking sobs Krillin became acutely aware of the others having all turned their gazes onto him, mouths open and lips parted with disbelief. And Krillin found himself hastily attempting to rephrase. "Uh-I mean...Uh... "
And Mr. Popo still stood there...unaffected by the outburst...still watching...still smiling.
Still Judging!
Suddenly the human Charcoal stick stepped to the side, voice lilting with laughter (at least to Krillin's ears) as he spoke. "Please follow me, and we can begin your training gentlemen."
Shuffling through one by one, Krillin tried not to shudder as he felt those judging eyes on his back, sending a cold chill down his spine.
With a shake he tried to push the thoughts out of his mind. 'Come on Krillin you're being Paranoid. This is Kami's assistant He's not a bad-"
Suddenly the bald monk felt a hand fall on his shoulder, and a voice near his ear. "You're going to die up here."
Whirling back around on the ball of his foot, ready for a fight, Krillin just barely held back a scream before he found Mr. Popo still standing all the way at the end of the hallway where they'd left him. Nearly ten feet away.
Still smiling...still watching...
Gulping down the sudden lump of fear in his throat Krillin turned and almost ran towards the room they'd been pointed to. Ignoring the, almost happy voice of Mr. Popo behind him.
"Bye."

"So…are you gonna tell me what you were dreaming about?"
"No"
"How about now?"
"Noo"
"Now?"
"Nooo"
"Now?"
"NOOO!"
"Hey Naruto"
"WHAT GOKU!"
"Come on, how bad can it be," Goku said, running alongside Naruto. "It's not like you were doing anything weird with Princess snake right?."
"I swear to God Goku I will kick you off of this god forsaken road if you even think about asking that question one more time!"
Silence...
"So...what were you-."
Seconds later King Yamma's ears twitched with what he believed to be the sound of a blood curdling scream.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRGH"
Glancing around his office the massive red giant shrugged after not being able to locate its source.

"Alright Gohan you're all set, but are you sure you want to continue with your training?" Piccolo questioned, watching with intent eyes as his student settled into a fighting stance ready to defend. Giving him a nod in response, the Namekian smirked in return. "Good, with an attitude like that you just might make it."
"Now," Piccolo said, raising his arms to his sides allowing the cape to pick up in the rising current to billow from his frame. Like a shot, Gohan darted towards the Namekian. With a battle cry he struck swiftly with a flurry of punches and kicks, wildly hoping to strike the deft Namekian. Anywhere. Piccolo moved with the every punch and kick the young Saiyan threw, evading the strikes with ease even with his weighted clothing on.
Finally, after several moments of this exchange he blocked a kick aimed at his face before swatting Gohan from the air sending him flying across the field and slamming into a small boulder.
No time to admire the skill Gohan just showed. He went on guard again when Gohan appeared over the boulder striking with even more fervor. Throwing fast punches with his energy and power set behind it. But the mistake was evident when one punch was thrown too far allowing the Namekian to disappear unexpectedly and appear behind the demi Saiyan. Piccolo wound back a kick and smashed it into Gohan's stomach when he turned around to defend, connecting on impact it sent the little Saiyan sailing, once again, over another boulder.
"Keep your eye on the enemy." Piccolo gruffly said.
"But you disappeared. I couldn't see you," Gohan said, rubbing his bruised head where he landed on seconds ago.
"If you can't see the enemy, feel him out," The Namekian finalized, waiting for the young Saiyan to get on his feet.
"Well that's a lot easier said than done." Gohan replied, grimacing as a sharp pain crossed him unexpectedly. Unawares, Piccolo's eyes glowed in a electrifying light turning into a light blue hue before being sent in a laser-like way towards the young Saiyan. The blow struck directly, shocking the demi saiyan, making him jerk uncontrollably until the attack ceased. Leaving the boy dazed before he fell in a heap.
"Next time you find time to whine. Think of what you should do instead," Piccolo smirked, placing both arms by his side. "Then do it."
"Right," Gohan replied, lifting his body on his hands and knees, he strained against every nooks and aches he felt on his small frame.
"We have less than a year till the Saiyans arrive Gohan. From now on if you're not eating or sleeping then you will be sparring with me. Got it?" Piccolo said, remaining quiet as the demi Saiyan gritted his teeth lifting his body upright with great difficulty. He looked at his master in wonder and in fear hearing the Namekian's words ring home.
"That's uh, a little severe huh?" Gohan questioned feebly, trying to still the quake in his voice as he spoke to his teacher.
"The Saiyans are severe. But as strong as they are, you're gonna have to be a little stronger. There's no room for doubt in this picture." with those final words he attacked.
The young Saiyan screamed, but was able to dodge the blow at the last moment, letting it graze a piece of his chin. Gohan quickly saw the follow up from Piccolo's initial attack and countered the best he could against a powerful punch, but the sheer force of the attack rendered the young demi saiyan's power useless. Allowing Piccolo to kick him in the chest sending Gohan spiraling backwards catching his body at the right moment on a small boulder.
The black haired Saiyan breathed deeply still feeling the effects of the attack. He grimaced as he felt a stinging pain on his chest from the kick. But Gohan looked on with conviction, his eyes a blazed.
"That's it. Do it!" The Namekian egged him on, hoping to catch a glimpse of the power that had taken down Raditz. Gohan cried out, before attacking without abandon trying to drive through the Namekian.
Hours passed. Morning turned to Night. The young Saiyan still battled through the unrelenting attacks, never wavering, never faltering pushing through.
The incoming onslaught drove the young Saiyan back as Piccolo tried to pierce him with a two pointed attack. They were fast and dangerous whizzing past him as he dodged and maneuvered the attack away from his body. Showing his back, he ran away from his teacher when he lost a step minutes ago, quickly realizing the gain Piccolo had on him.
Gohan moved from side to side, jumping in different patterns, but the Namekian continued with his attack. He flipped and hit his back against a boulder he became quite acquainted with over the hours that passed between their battles. His eyes widened as Piccolo lifted his arm high above him and brought it down swiftly-as if it was an axe cutting through wood-and cut the boulder in two, or more like shattered it into numerous stones.
Gohan jumped away, but didn't expect Piccolo to reappear right next him with a a foot already locked and ready. The young Saiyan was only able to scream out when the blow connected making the boy sail in the air gliding over the evening sun. "Piccolo." he whined before landing and being covered in a dust cloud. He coughed into the dirt making it spread across his face.
"Piccolo nothing, you're getting lazy." Piccolo said. "You can defend much better than that. Now let's get going."
Gohan slowly lifted his body shaking all the while. But the determined expression he had before the training remained, set in stone across his small features. I won't give up…Ever.

They were climbing up a particular part of Snake way, for some reason or another, that was completely vertical. How convenient…Making both warriors climb up the length of the way on their stomachs and straining every muscle in their body for it.
Naruto looked above him seeing Goku climbing the way with ease with the skills of a monkey. The young jinchuuriki tried to follow closely but knew it was a useless endeavor. Trying to follow Goku stride for stride was pretty much trying to race on a bike with both legs tied together…
Naruto shook his head, feeling his muscles strain and ache while reaching for the next pull up. He gritted his teeth as he lifted his frame, he let a repressed breath, realizing the trip in itself was an arduous one. Full of dangers, close encounters to death, and false hopes. He gave a depressed sigh. False hopes indeed…
"Hey Naruto! Hurry up!" Goku said.
"What now Goku? Those clouds aren't food." Naruto gave defeated sound, when miles back Goku fell for a mirage and jumped straight on a cloud and nearly fell right through.
He gave a loud raucous laugh and simply said. "Nah, we made it."
Naruto's eyes widened, he climbed with renewed strength, literally lifting his body in unimaginable speeds up the rest of the length of snake way. "Goku if you're lying. I swear…" But the threat dropped from his lips when he lifted his body over the vertical outcropping and witnessed the end, the tail of snake way.
His eyes scanned the empty expanse not able to see anything in sight. Was this a bad joke? This is what was at the end…nothing?
"We're here Naruto." Goku proudly said.
"I see that Goku." Naruto replied, grimacing at a growing headache. He let a bated breath escape him before putting his head back looking at the sky. The shine of something caught his eye immediately. He looked at it directly and his eyes widened at the small tiny...planet... hovering above them. This plane…never ceased to amaze him.
"Goku I think I found it," Naruto said.
"Yea? Where is it?" Goku replied, scanning the surroundings thoroughly whereas he only had to tilt his head up just a bit to see. Naruto exhaled loudly and walked to his struggling companion and pointed up in the direction of the world. "Oh I see it now."
"So…how exactly are we supposed to get there," Goku said, leaving the young shinobi speechless.
Was he serious? He'd only been flying since they got on this god forsaken road?
Sarcasm dripping from his every word the blond spoke..."Oh I don't know Goku we'll fly on a cloud of gumdrops."
"Really? That sounds great. If Nimbus was made of gum drops…" Goku said, clueless to sarcasm as he sighed in bliss at the thought.
"Damn it Goku. Just fly us there." Naruto said, feeling the headache worsen in the process. Goku simply smiled and put Naruto's arm over his shoulder steadying him, before both warriors slowly began to rise towards the world. The Saiyan gained momentum flying faster trying to reach the world quicker. The jinchuuriki watched with mild interest, while his companion ranted on about the car having nice wheels.
The Car...The contraption of doom!
"We're almost there," Goku said. Hovering above the planet for a few minutes drawing closer into the atmosphere. They past a certain point when both warriors were taken by surprise when a sudden shift of weight fell across their shoulders. It felt like a ton, sending both warriors literally dive-bombing right into the surface, creating crater in their wake.
Feeling the pain on his throbbing face, and the horrible pressure bearing down on his whole body Naruto wondered what higher force was at work here...why had he come along this god forsaken trip...why had all this crap have to happen to him? What had he done?
He was gonna Kill the damn fox. He swore it. Somehow. Someway, he'd find a way to kill the damn thing.
"Why!" He moaned, groaning out the 'Y' with a pained sob.
Naruto and Goku heard the chortling laughter of a bug man standing not a few feet in front of them with his hands clasped behind his back. Appearing behind the man's back, a monkey was jumping happily from one foot to another, and a bug that was literally floating in air. Where the hell did they end up?
"Well…some dull boys…too bad."
Goku lifted his head, straining against the intense gravity, while Naruto remained face down. "Gosh…you must." He gritted out, before lifting his body a little, helping Naruto lift his face to the side for he can breath. "You're King Kai?"
"Hehe. What do you want a medal?"
