Chapter 7: Gohan's Party, Love at First Sight?
Gohan had finished putting all of the furniture that the Hokage had bought them in the house and was currently organising it while videl and Kai got used to using Ki in their new bodies, Gohan was still adapting to it and was not at full power yet but with a little bit of trained he would get there, he noticed that his Mystic powers weren't with him anymore and wondered why, 'Maybe it has to do with the Kinmon?' He thought, he pushed the couch against a wall with a television in front of it, though he wasn't sure if it would ever be used. He also had a large speaker set in the room so he could play music tonight. Upstairs there was seven bedrooms, on for each of them and three guest rooms, each room had one queen sized bed and a large wardrobe, as well as a mirror. There was three full sized bathrooms upstairs as well. On the main floor there was the living room, a full sized bathroom, a washroom (The difference is that a bathroom has a shower, a toilet, and a sink, a full sized bathroom has a shower, a bath, a toilet, and a sink, and a washroom just has a toilet and a sink.), a large kitchen with thirteen cupboards for food, on for cups, one for plates and bowls, a cupboard for pots and pans, a drawer for utensils, a dishwasher, a double basined sink, a stove and an enormous fridge. The dining room had a large table that could fit twelve comfortably and they had an extra two chairs just in case they needed them. There was also a porch that led to a large backyard filled with training dummies and a small area for gardening.
"Alright, all done, now to try on the shinobi gear that Hiruzen gave me." Gohan clapped and walked up to his room, he opened his wardrobe and took out a blue shirt much like Sasuke's except without the high collar. He was also given a pair of gi pants that matched the shirt. He tried it on, it was the perfect size, he also saw a black belt that had various compartments, he put that around his waist and attached a kunai holster to his right thigh, the final piece to his outfit was a white cloak that hung on the back like a cape, and could be pulled so that it covered the entire body, it also had a hidden hood and a quick-discard string that could cause it to fall off. He decided to leave the cloak in his
Gohan leaned out his window to the backyard, "Guys, get ready!" He yelled
"Alright!" Goten yelled, flying in through the window, "I still feel a little weird using Ki in this body Gohan." Goten said, walking out of his elder brother's room.
Videl walked through the backdoor and went to get her new shinobi clothes on, she hadn't met the genin or Jonin as Gohan and Goten had, so she wasn't sure what to expect.
"I'll be in in a minute." Kai yelled, there was something that he wanted to test. He held onto his pendant, it was shaped like a scythe with a skull in front of it and made out of a strange shimmering black metal. He closed his eyes and channeled ki into his hand. 'Thanatos, are you there?' He said in his mind.
"Kai?" The voice was deep and foreboding.
'Thanatos!' Kai said to the God of Death, 'It's I was wondering about you.'
"I've been wondering about you too, I haven't felt your ki for nearly one thousand years!" The god said, "I knew you hadn't died, what happened?"
'I wish I knew, I'll figure it out though.' Kai told him.
"Alright, I'll ask around as well, for now go and enjoy your party."
'Thanks Thanatos.' Kai said, letting go of the pendant and heading towards the house.
Gohan was in the kitchen, preparing food for the party, Videl was helping him. She was in a black shirt that ended right above her breasts and a pair of red pants with a kunai pouch on her right leg and a shuriken holster on the left side of her hips.
"When are you two getting together?" Kai asked as they hadn't noticed him.
"We aren't." Gohan said.
"Tried that already, didn't work, Gohan was always too busy doing intense training." Videl said.
"I see." Kai smiled, "But he's good now right?"
"Nope, I'm still going to train, and I don't have feelings for her anymore." Gohan said.
"Yea, I'm not into you anymore either jerk." Videl said, hitting Gohan on the shoulder.
"You two are so cute." Kai said, walking to go get changed. On his way upstairs he walked by Goten, who was wearing a long sleeved black shirt with an orange vest that ended mid-abdomen, his vest was left open. He was also wearing a pair of black pants with a kunai holster on his left leg and his shuriken pouch on the right side. Kai noticed the staff that he had given Goten on his back.
"I think you've got them on the wrong side buddy." Kai said, pointing to the kunai holster.
"NOPE!" Goten said, popping the 'P' sound, "I'm left handed." Goten said.
"I see." Kai smiled at the boy, while Goten and him were physically the same age, Kai still thought of Goten as his little brother.
"Is there any food out?" Goten asked.
"Gohan and Videl are making it, go and try to steal some." Kai said, grinning from ear to ear.
"He's with Videl!" Goten said, running downstairs.
Kai continued his trek up to his room when he heard Goten's voice.
"GOHAN! YOU AND VIDEL ARE DATING AGAIN?" Goten shouted.
"KAI!" Gohan shouted.
LINEBREAK
Naruto was getting ready, he grabbed his black t-shirt with the Uzumaki symbol and threw it on, he also grabbed a pair of black pants on threw them on. "Kakashi-nii I'm ready!" He yelled, walking out of his room to see his brother dressed like he normally was, in his uniform.
"Go change into the new uniform I got you." Kakashi said, "Gohan asked us to wear our uniforms."
"Fine." Naruto walked back into his room and changed, he was now wearing a pair of black pants with a short-sleeved black shirt that had Uzumaki swirls on the shoulders in orange, he also had a pair of fingerless orange gloves on. He walked out of his room, tying his black hitai-ate to his forehead.
"Better." Kakashi said, "Now let's go." He walked out of the house, heading towards Gohan' place.
LINEBREAK
Knock Knock Knock
The knocking resonated through the house, Goten appeared at the door, opening it to reveal Kakashi and Naruto. He stepped back and let them in.
"Hey." Gohan said as he was placing bowls of food at the table, Naruto looked and saw nearly three hundred bowls of food.
"How many people are coming?" Naruto asked.
"Well there is me, Goten, Kai, Videl, you two, Sakura, Sasuke, Kurenai-san and her team, Gai-san and his team, Asuma-san and his team, and the Hokage, so that's 22 people." Gohan said.
"Why is there so much food?" Naruto asked.
"Goten and I eat a lot." Gohan scratched the back of his head.
"A lot is an understatement." Videl said, coming in with two more bowls, "Nice to meet you, I'm Videl Satan." She said, "And Kakashi-san, I must thank you for catching me, Gohan and Goten would have been fine, but I would've died if it wasn't for you." She said.
"No problem." Kakashi replied, "May I sit?" He gestured to the couch.
"Of course, make yourself at home." She smiled.
"Thanks." Kakashi took an orange book out of his shuriken pouch, Videl noticed that there was only one shuriken actually in there.
'I'll ask him another time.' She thought.
Soon Asuma and his team arrived.
"You must be Asuma-san." Gohan greeted the Jonin, "I'm Son Gohan, the one in black and orange is my brother Son Goten, that's Videl Satan, and my best friend Kai Takuma is somewhere." Gohan said.
"Asuma Sarutobi, nice to meet you." Asuma said.
"I'm Shikamaru Nara." Shikamaru waved lazily.
"I'm Choji…" The large Genin ate a potato chip, "Akimichi, nice to meet you." Choji smiled.
"I'm Ino Yamanaka." Ino said, 'That Gohan kid is almost as good looking as Sasuke-kun.' Ino thought to herself.
"Please make yourselves at home, if you'll excuse me I'm going to get Kai." Gohan said, walking up the stairs.
Shikamaru, and Choji went to talk to Naruto and Goten, who were engaged in a deep conversation about pranks, and Ino went to introduce herself to Videl.
"Hey, my name's Ino." Ino said as she walked up to the girl.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Videl." Videl smiled. The two were soon engaged in a conversation about things to do around the village.
Upstairs, Gohan was trying to get Kai to open his door, but the boy was using all of his strength to stop the demi-Saiyan.
"Kai, I'm stronger than you, don't make me break the door please, just come down." Gohan said.
"Fine." Kai surrendered as he knew that Gohan would make him fix the door. Kai opened his door and revealed himself in a white t-shirt that matched his hair color, he also had a black knee length coat that hung open and a pair of black pants with his kunai holder on his right thigh and had a shuriken pouch on either arm, near the shoulders.
"What's wrong with that outfit?" Gohan asked.
"The shirt and my hair are the same color." Kai said.
Gohan suddenly remembered that Kai always seemed to wear any color but white, orange, or yellow as they reminded him of his family with the God-Runners, "Sorry, I forgot about your little problem with that color." Gohan said.
"Don't worry, it doesn't bother me too much anymore, I just think it looks kinda stupid." Kai said.
"What are you talking about?" Gohan asked, "It looks badass."
"Really?"
"For sure." Gohan said, "Now let's go downstairs."
"Sure." Kai said, he followed his best friend downstairs and immediately his eyes locked onto Ino, he took in all of her features, her green, pupilless eyes, her long slender legs, her perfect blonde hair, 'She's beautiful.' Kai thought to himself.
Ino stopped mid-sentence when she heard a noise on the stairs, she instinctively looked over and saw Gohan coming down with Kai behind him, her eyes stopped on Kai, she took in his white hair and toned arms, his pale blue eyes that seemed like endless pools, his hawk-like nose gave his face an elegant look, 'Wow, this guy puts Sasuke-kun to shame.' Ino thought to herself.
"Hey Ino, you okay?" Videl asked.
"Huh?" Ino was startled out of her thoughts, "Yea sorry." Ino said.
"Looking at Kai?" Videl asked with a teasing tone.
"Why, is he your boyfriend?" Ino asked.
Videl burst into laughter at this, clutching her sides, "Ya right, me and him, never!" Videl had to lean forwards to lessen the pain on her abdomen from her laughter.
"So he's single then?" Ino said, not meaning to say it aloud and quickly covering her mouth.
"Talking about me?" Kai asked as he made his way over to the girls, he looked at Ino, making eye contact and giving the Yamanaka heiress butterflies, "Videl only laughs like this when someone asks about her and I dating, or when Goten and Trunks beat me up." Kai explained.
"Umm…" Ino was at a loss for words, luckily Videl saved her.
"Kai, at least introduce yourself." Videl scolded him as she stopped laughing.
"Sorry, Kai Tokuma." He held out his hand.
Ino took it quickly, his skin was rough, "Ino Yamanaka." She blushed, "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise." He said, "Now I've gotta go introduce myself to the others before Videl kicks my ass, but I'll be back." Kai laughed.
Ino laughed too, 'He's hot, nice, and funny.' Ino's heart fluttered, "I'll look forward to it." She smiled.
Kai walked away and went to see the two Jonin on the couch.
"So Ino, got a crush on Kai?" Videl teased quietly.
"I think so." Ino admitted.
There was a knock at the door, Gohan opened it to reveal Sasuke, Sakura, and team 9, with the exception of Neji.
"Come one in." Gohan said, "I'm Son Gohan, nice to meet you all, and nice to see you again Gai-san." Gohan said.
"I'm Sakura Haruno, beside me is Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura introduced herself and her teammate. Sasuke grunted and sat on the couch.
"Nice to meet you Sakura." Gohan smiled.
"Gohan, it is good to see you." Gai said.
"Gohan, I hear your flames of youth are exceptionally, bright." Lee said.
"Nice to see you too Gai-san." Gohan said, "And nice to meet you…"
"I forgot to introduce myself, I am Rock Lee, Konoha's Green Beast." Lee said.
"Nice to meet you, please make yourselves at home." He said.
"Hi, I'm Tenten, nice to meet you." Tenten introduced herself.
'No last name, weird.' Gohan thought, "Likewise." Gohan smiled.
Everyone was talking when there was a knock at the door, revealing the final guests, Kurenai, Hinata, Hanabi, Neji, and the Hokage himself Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with a young boy wearing a long scarf.
"Hello Gohan, I hope you don't mind but I brought my grandson Konohamaru." Hiruzen smiled.
"Not at all Hokage-sama." Gohan smiled, "Nice to meet you Konohamaru-kun." Gohan said, "I'm Son Gohan."
"I'm Konohamaru, the next Hokage!" Konohamaru shouted.
Naruto heard Konohamaru's shout and walked over, "What was that?" He asked, "Like hell, I, Naruto Uzumaki will be the next Hokage!" He yelled.
"Don't make me laugh, a wimp like you won't ever be Hokage!" Konohamaru yelled, neither of the two noticed Hiruzen moving them away from the door, smiling at Gohan in apology.
Gohan turned to the others, "Sorry about that, please come in." Gohan said.
"Thank you Gohan." Kurenai said.
"Kurenai-sensei, you know Gohan?" Hinata asked.
"Yes, we met earlier when he single handedly defeated a giant crab summon." Kurenai said.
"I see, nice to meet you Gohan, I am Neji Hyuuga." Neji introduced himself, he was interested in Gohan, a child his age that was strong enough to defeat a giant summons was almost unheard of, even the legendary Itachi Uchiha, the strongest of Konoha since Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, wouldn't have been capable of such a feat at such a young age.
"It's a pleasure Neji." Gohan smiled.
"I.. I'm Hinata Hyuuga." Hinata said, normally she didn't stutter much unless she was around Naruto, then Hanabi saw Naruto looking over directly at Hinata and understood the stutter.
"Nice to meet you Hinata." Gohan said.
"I'm Hanabi Hyuuga." Hanabi said, "Please excuse my sister, she's a little meek." Hanabi whispered to Gohan.
He nodded to acknowledge her statement and said, "Pleasure Hanabi, please come in." He led them in the house.
The party went on until midnight, when the Jonin sensei led their teams out as they had their final tests tomorrow. Hiruzen had left hours earlier than the others as Konohamaru had gotten tired. Overall, the party was a huge success.
LINEBREAK
The next day it was time for the Genin team's tests, and it was also the day that the Hokage would test Gohan, Goten, Kai, and Videl and see if they were eligible to become Genin for Konoha.
Gohan and his friends walked towards the training field that Hiruzen had told them to go to. When they arrived they saw four masked ninja in sleeveless, high-necked black shirts, black pants and white vests. Each of the four wore a different animal mask, there was an Owl, a Wolf, a Rhino, and a Mouse.
"These four will spar with each of you, Gohan will go first." Hiruzen said.
"Sure Hokage-sama, I'll try not to hurt them too badly." Gohan sahing siid, walking forwards.
"Begin!" Hiruzen said. Gohan appeared behind the four in an instant, shocking all of them, even Minato hadn't been that fast, Gohan then released a burst of ki, sending the four ANBU flying away, they all flipped and landed on their feet.
"Hokage-sama." The Owl masked ANBU said, "We stand no chance against this boy." He admitted.
"I can see that, very well." Hiruzen said, "Gohan, you have earned yourself a placed on Konoha's Team 7."
'Yes, I'll be with Naruto.' Gohan thought, he had taken a liking to the blond ninja.
"Kai, would you mind going next?" Hiruzen asked.
"Not at all." The ANBU regrouped and Kai stepped forwards.
"Begin." The ANBU rushed at Kai, each pulling the sword off their backs and slashing simultaneously, Kai saw their attack in slow motion, he jumped over them and formed a purple ball of ki in his left hand.
"Reaper Bomb!" Kai yelled, throwing the ball behind the ANBU, it expanded and sent the ninja flying. "Sorry, they might need to go to the hospital." Kai said.
Hiruzen looked towards the ANBU, who were getting up slowly, they were all hurt, "Are Videl and Goten stronger than you Kai?" The old man asked.
"Videl isn't, but Goten is." Kai answered.
"I could kick your ass easily Kai." Videl said.
"Sure ya could sweets." Kai taunted, causing Videl to rush at him, he easily sidestepped her attack and grabbed her outstretched arm, throwing her to the ground nearly ten feet away, "What was that?" He asked.
"Videl don't be stupid." Gohan said.
"Fine, I'm not as strong as Kai is." She admitted.
"Owl, do you think you and Rhino could battle Videl?" He asked.
"Rhino, are you good to go?" Owl asked, Rhino nodded, "We are ready Hokage-sama."
"Very well." Hiruzen said.
"Wait, why do I only get to fight two?" Videl asked angrily, she was getting treated as if she was weak.
"From what I have seen, Kai was going easy on you and my ANBU, if you want all four will face you but if you lose then I will not allow you to become a Genin." Hiruzen warned.
Thinking about it for a moment Videl finally conceded, "Fine." She said, slipping into her stance.
"Begin." Owl charged at Videl, aiming a punch at her midsection, she dodged and brought her elbow down on his back, sending the ANBU into the ground, but she was too focussed on Owl to notice Rhino come from behind her and lift her up by the ankles, then slam her onto the ground, as he went for a second slam, Videl outstretched her arms and planted her hands on the ground, using her leg strength to lift Rhino and slam him head-first onto the grass below, she then bounced upwards, dodging a sweep-kick from Owl.
"Eagle Drop!" She shouted, her left foot developed a sea-green aura and she dropped directly towards Owl.
Owl quickly went through hand signs, "Ressenpu!" He shouted, sending a cyclone from his mouth at her, redirecting her attack to the ground beside him, Owl then went for an axe-kick, hoping to take her out, but Videl turned and brought her right hand up, it was glowing with a sea-green aura.
"Falcon PUNCH!" She shouted, slamming her fist into Owl's chin, sending the ANBU flying.
'Impressive, I'd say that from what I've seen Videl is on par with Gai.' Hiruzen thought, "Congratulations, all of you have become Genin of Konoha." He said, "Gohan will be on team 7, Kai on team 6, Videl on team 9, and Goten on team 8. Gohan I will have Owl appear at your house on your days off to train you in chakra usage, Videl you will be trained by Wolf on your days off, Kai you will be trained by Rhino and that leaves Goten with Mouse."
"Aww man, I'm getting trained by her?" Goten pointed to Mouse, who, after trying hard to get up, had succumbed to her weakness and had fallen unconscious.
"Yes, she is one of my most capable ANBU." He said.
"Doesn't look very capable to me." Goten muttered, causing him to get slapped across the head by Gohan, "HEY!" Goten said.
"Don't be rude." Gohan scolded his brother.
"Don't be rude!" Goten mocked.
Gohan smacked his brother in the head again, sending the demi-Saiyan to the ground face first, "What was that?"
"Sorry Mouse." Goten said.
"Better." Gohan smiled.
LINEBREAK
"Alright, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, your test is simple, track me within the hour. You can start in ten minutes." Kurani said, using shunshin to disappear in a swirl of leaves.
"It's a test of teamwork." Hinata said.
"Yea, I can see that." Kiba said, "Let's split up and find her, and we'll engage when we do, that may attract the other two to our location." Kiba said and Akamaru barked in agreement.
"Kiba, I think that the idea of splitting up is a good one, why you ask, because it will allow us to cover more ground." Shino said, "But you two should stay together and take one of my Kichiku insects, why? So that I may alert you if I locate her and you may alert me if you locate her." Shino sent an insect towards each of his teammates, though they didn't notice.
"Good idea Shino, if you're alone don't engage." Hinata said.
"Hinata, you'll be with me so I'm good to attack right?" Kiba asked.
"Yes, we can attack until Shino arrives, at which point we'll focus on trapping Kurenai-sensei." Hinata said.
"Alright, let's go!" Kiba roared, jumping into the forest, Hinata at his tail.
"Good luck Shino." She said.
"You too Hinata." Shino said, also taking off into the forest.
Hinata and Kiba came up upon Kurenai, she was using a basic Genjutsu but Hinata easily saw through it with her Byakugan and Kiba could smell his sensei with his heightened senses.
"She's right there." Hinata whispered as they went by her.
"Right." Kiba nodded, "Shikyaku no Jutsu!" Kiba shouted, his teeth grew sharper and his eyes narrowed, his nails also grew into claws, "Jujin Bunshin!" He yelled again, this time Akamaru became an exact replica of Kiba, "Ready Akamaru?" He asked, "Gatsuga!" He shouted as he and Akamaru began to spin at high speeds and flew at their hiding sensei.
Kurenai saw Kiba's attack and used Shunshin to dodge it, reappearing next to the Inuzuka as he stopped spinning and kicking him in the gut.
"Hijutsu: Kumonosu." Shino jumped out and called his Jutsu name as he thrust his left hand forwards and spider webs wrapped around his sensei's legs.
"Hakke: Juroku Shou!" Hinata shouted, striking her sensei twice, "Two!" Two more times, "Four!" Four more times, "Eight!" Then finally eight more strikes, "Sixteen!" Hinata finally shouted as she knocked her sensei down.
"Hijutsu: Kumonosu." Shino blasted Kurenai again with webs, causing her to pop in a puff of smoke.
"Well done, that was one of ten clones that I created, and you guys worked as a team to find and defeat it." Kurenai said, "I'm proud to be your sensei."
LINEBREAK
"Alright, today is a test of your flames of youth." Gai said to his Genin team, "I will face you as a team, and if you manage to impress me, you pass." Gai said, slipping into his Goken style, "BEGIN!" He shouted, charging at his Genin, Lee met him head on as the two slammed their knees together.
Neji ran up to Gai and attempted to jab a few tenketsu points but the Jonin was too fast and had narrowly avoided the technique, but was stopped from kicking Neji in the gut by a flurry of kunai from Tenten.
'They are a good team.' Gai noted as he charged towards Tenten, he wanted to see Lee and Neji's reactions to his sudden change in targets.
Just as Gai had predicted, Lee had charged forwards, slamming his knee into Gai's gut while Neji was above their sensei and delivered a flying axe-kick to the man, but Gai grabbed Neji and tossed him to the ground. As Gai landed, Lee attempted to attack him again but he easily diverted his pupil's attack and slammed him onto the ground, appearing in front of Tenten and sweeping her to the floor.
"Very good, I see that you all have extremely bright flames of youth, I am glad that I will be your teacher." Gai said.
"Yosh!" Lee shouted, "For failing to protect Tenten I will do two hundred laps around the village on one hand before noon!" The budding Taijutsu master yelled.
"No need Lee, instead, let us get lunch." Gai smiled.
"YOSH!" Lee fist pumped.
LINEBREAK
"So, I'm supposed to test you on your teamwork, but I think we should put teamwork training off and just say we did the test, maybe we can head out for lunch?" Asuma suggested.
"Sure." Shikamaru shrugged, he didn't wanna do a test right now anyways.
"Only if lunch is on you Asuma-sensei." Choji said.
"Yay!" Ino jumped up and down, "No test!"
'Am I the only one that wants to train on this team?' Hanabi asked herself as she followed her team towards the Barbeque place that Choji loved so much.
LINEBREAK
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I realised that I made a mistake when I had first described Kai so I fixed it here, just so no one is confused. What do you guys think about the shinobi wear for the DBZ characters? I made them up and I'm not very good at clothes so I hope it's ok. And the reason that I didn't show the Bell tests with Team 7 is that it's the exact same as last time. Anyways, that's all from me for now. Thanks for reading!
UPDATE NOTE: I forgot last time to give credits to Ryuujin96 and his story The Longer Road for inspiration on team 8's test. You guys should check it out it's pretty good. I made a mistake with Goten's team last time, he will be on Team 8. I fixed that up and changed the name of Hinata's attack after it was brought to my attention that I mhad messed it up so big thanks to Ryuujin96 for the idea and pointing out my mistake.
