(Chapter 21: An Uzumaki Reunion)
It was around the end of May as Gohan had decided to take a break from power leveling his classes and decided to simply relax for a while, with him mainly helping out Yakumo or spending time with Anko or Tenten. Concerning Anko the snake sadist definitely enjoyed the Demon Dungeon, since the moment she got into said dungeon it was like watching a kid in a candy shop...granted a very ultra-violent kid who had an abundance of fire jutsu at her disposal and was growing increasing physically stronger every time she went there, but the analogy very much fit nonetheless.
During this time period, Danzo had informed him of Kushina and the fact that she had awoken from her comatose state, with Gohan being understandably very excited at hearing this news had requested for a date to meet with his mother and the Warhawk had readily set everything up.
(May 30th, 998 S.E, ROOT HQ, 2:13 Pm)
It was a sunny afternoon as Gohan had soon gone over to the ROOT headquarters for his arranged meeting with Kushina and suffice to say the Gamer was a mix of emotions, but the main one was of excitement to say the very least.
'Well this is it, I'm finally going to meet her.' Gohan thought to himself as he felt slightly nervous as he saw the redheaded woman in the open
"I never expected you to be nervous of all things. Seeing as how you've killed enough of men and demons alone to make a village 4 times over." Kurama spoke in finding it humorous that the necromancer who'd killed dozens if not hundreds without mercy
"Seeing as how this is the woman who gave birth to me and would've taken care of me had she gotten the chance, then I'm pretty sure that my nervousness is warranted." Gohan responded in feeling that in this situation despite everything he's done his nervousness was very much warranted
"Relax. I'm just giving you shit. Honestly, you truly need to learn to take a joke." Kurama told him chuckling a bit to itself while Gohan rolled his eyes at the kitsune
"For your information, I do know how to take a joke." Gohan argued to the kitsune who could only laugh at the ruffled Gamer
"Whatever you say to make yourself feel better. Anyways, go talk to your mother already." Kurama snarkily told him while Gohan really felt like wanting to clock Kurama across the face for being a smart-alec
"Smart-alec fox." Gohan said before cutting off the connection and going to approach Kushina
"Hey Kushina…" Gohan tried to say before the moment he was within arms reach of her she dashed towards him and wrapped him in a bone-crushing hug
"My baby!" Kushina exclaimed as she hugged Gohan as hard as possible
'Why and how is she this strong for a woman that's been in a coma for almost 20 years.' Gohan thought to himself wondering as to how despite being in a coma Kushina was still physically stronger than him
"Nice too finally see you too..although could you not hug me so hard, because I still need to breathe?" Gohan requested considering that it was starting to get a bit hard to breathe
"Sorry about that, I just get carried away when I'm excited you know." Kushina said embarrassed that she almost crushed her son
"You're absolutely fine. I'm still happy to finally see my mother after 17 years." Gohan responded as he dusted himself off
"I-I still can't believe my little boy is all grown up. Now I have to worry about making up for 17 years worth of missed birthday parties...this is gonna be a total headache you know!" Kushina said flustered at the fact she'd have to pull a hail Mary and find a way to make up for almost 2 decades worth of missed birthday parties
"It's alright, you don't have to bother with all that. Besides, I was just hoping that I could at least do a few nice things for you. Since I hope you liked those gifts I made for you on short notice." Gohan spoke in reference to the sword, shield, and armor he made for her
"I loved what you made me, to be honest, I didn't think that my little boy would be so talented. Since if it's not fuinjutsu or my handling a sword, I have two left hands. Which was why I was a bit surprised to see it was made by you because I was afraid you'd inherited one of my many traits" Kushina semi-flusteredly told her son considering that she was notoriously bad at anything that wasn't combative, fuinjutsu, or cooking related
With Kushina being hardwired towards swordfighting, combat, fuinjutsu and her hobby of cooking to the point of which anything else she had attempted; she had the dexterity of a drunken bull in a china shop.
"Lucky for me I'm more or less talented at almost everything I do. After all, I'm quite literally one of if not the best there is." Gohan told her considering that he still had to grind for it but otherwise he was to everyone else a damned prodigy
"Yes! I knew my baby boy from the start would be talented in everything he did." Kushina cheered at the fact that her son was quite a multi-talented young man
"Even still, why don't we sit down and do a bit of catching up. Since I even bought your favorite ramen just for this special occasion." Gohan spoke as he used his inventory to pull out a gift-wrapped box of pork and shrimp ramen
"...Well, come on sit down with me, as I've got a lot to talk to you about." Gohan added as he pulled out some chicken and octopus ramen he had specially ordered for himself
That in mind the two began to talk as they both enjoyed their ramen together, with Kushina not being able to contain how proud she was of her baby boy who had grown into the strong young man she'd heard about from Danzo. Yet during this conversation came up the inevitable topic of Hiruzen, the man who tore her away from her son and as such filled her with such fury that it would make her rather eat broken glass soaked in lime then ever see the man as anything resembling a positive light.
"So I gotta ask you, now that you're gonna be back up and running soon enough. Are you gonna try and take the Hokage's hat from him and become the 5th Hokage?" Gohan questioned if Kushina would be taking the mantle of Hokage from Hiruzen instead of Tsunade doing so
"Of course I am, as I would've been the 4th Hokage hadn't Minato beaten me to it." Kushina answered back as she was dead set on taking that Hokage hat from Hiruzen
"Besides, I'll finally get to make my dream of free ramen for life come true when I do become Hokage." Kushina added chuckling semi-manically at the thought of gaining free ramen for life when she put on that hat
"You might as well make it a holiday where you get free ramen while you're at it." Gohan suggested to the Uzumaki matriarch's face who lit up with a massive smile
"Oh my god, you're a genius Gohan!" Kushina cheered in thinking the idea of such a thing was completely brilliant
"Glad you like the idea and honestly I can't wait for you to be the 5th Hokage. Because you won't only be able to make this village great again, but I can then have bragging rights that my mother is the Hokage and therefore have that much more reason to tell everyone to suck it." Gohan spoke in seeing that for more than Kushina being able to make the village superior again, but also just for simple bragging rights
"You won't worry about a thing Gohan, because by the time I take up the Hokage hat I'm gonna make this place what it should've been from the start. Because I'll make sure that by the time people get out of the Academy that at best they'll be a solid or high C-ranking threat at best and actually have them learn how to actually take a punch instead of being a lightweight." Kushina responded as she had plans to make the people within Konoha far stronger than what they've been in her recent memories
"Anything I can do to help you get the village get back on top of things when you take the hat, please let me know. Because I want to do everything possible to make sure Konoha will stay on top as it should." Gohan said as he wanted to be at the heart of things when Konoha would be taken over by Kushina
"Don't worry Gohan you will. Besides, you are quite literally the only one I trust here." Kushina told him as she felt as though her son was the only one she could trust
"To be fair, I was the only one who went out of their way to rescue you, the moment I heard what happened to you." Gohan responded as the Uzumaki matriarch smiled
"And I thank you for that. However, the moment I get the chance Hiruzen dies." Kushina thanked him as her mind drifted towards thoughts of what to do when she got ahold of Hiruzen
"Hey, you better let me have a turn at him too, since he's got a few things coming to him for having messed with my memories and my mind. Since I have all sorts of ideas on how to make him pay." Gohan spoke as he had plans on what to do with Hiruzen once he was removed from things
"Don't worry I will, but as much as I want to keep talking with you. I have to worry about getting back in fighting shape because I've been out of it for far too long and if I'm going to take that hat from that bastard monkey then I need to do it when I'm as close to my best as possible." Kushina replied as she wanted to have spent more time with Gohan, but she had an immense amount of training to do
"I understand, anyways can't wait to see you again." Gohan said as he gave Kushina a hug before getting up to leave
'I still can't believe my little boy is growing up to be such a great young man.' Kushina thought to herself as she saw her son go off elsewhere
(8 hours later, 10:50 Pm, Gohan's Mindscape)
It was hours later as Gohan was now within his mindscape with Kurama, with him pretty much just chilling out with the giant kitsune after having a good day of finally meeting Kushina for the 1st time.
"Well this was certainly an eventful day." Kurama noted at how things had unfolded for the Necromancer
"You've got that right Kurama, as I finally got to meet her." Gohan replied at feeling pretty good about how things were right now
"And you did it all without acting like a complete jackass, way to go." Kurama snarkily congratulated, with him even going so far as to clap his paws to further play up the level of snarkiness
"Can you not be a snarky asshole about it?" Gohan questioned the future god
"You're talking about the woman who not only had me imprisoned in her gut until you were born. But also she would rip my chakra away from me when it suited her needs and treated me like a common beast of burden, so sorry if I'm not particularly warm towards her in any fashion." Kurama haughtily answered back as they held no fond memories of Kushina in any capacity
(-3 Reputation with Kurama for reminding them of a time where they were treated like a monster and animal)
"I understand and sorry about bringing up a sore subject like that. I just got caught up in all of this that I forgot." Gohan apologized and cursing himself for bringing up a subject such as that
"You're fine Gohan...I just hate being reminded of those times where I was treated as something lesser is all, nothing more than that." Kurama semi-sourly told him considering that they didn't really blame Gohan for forgetting about something like that
"But... now that she's here, you can finally be one step closer to your plans for an empire." Kurama said as Gohan let a small smile cross his face
"Indeed Kurama. Because all that's really left to do once she's back up and running at full strength is to get rid of that damn monkey that wears the Hokage hat, for I've got so many punishments lined up for him for what he's done." Gohan sinisterly responded considering that once Kushina was in power and Hiruzen was out of the way he was gonna have fun testing out some new torture methods on him
Because one thing that Gohan did hold was grudges something that followed him into his new life, which was why he was going to pay back what Hiruzen did 10 fold as one thing he did remember was the fact that he did remember a lot of world cultures in not just their weaponry and arms. But also their torture methods such as the Iron Maiden and the Scavenger's Daughter as examples, as those among other things were some of which he couldn't wait to test out on Hiruzen once the old monkey was deposed from his seat of power.
"Do you honestly think that Kushina will let you get away with brazenly torturing him? Not to mention when she inevitably finds out about your powers over the dead." Kurama questioned considering that once Kushina took power it would only be a matter of time before she found out about his more insidious deeds and powers
"I know she will because she hates him as much as I do now, if not more so. All I have to do is just feed that hatred she has of him and just give her a few small nudges here and there to tell him that dying once isn't good enough and that he has to suffer more punishment before he can be given the permission to die." Gohan responded as he wanted to punish Hiruzen until the old monkey was nothing more than a bloodied and hollowed wreck of a man
"If I didn't know any better I'd say that Anko woman's sadism is rubbing off on you." Kurama noted at the sadistic undertones in the necromancer's voice
"I'm no fucking sadist, as I just want to punish the person who fucked me over so much. Besides, if I was such a sadist then I'd be kidnapping every bastard that looked at me wrong and skinning them alive and using them as livestock for Chess." Gohan responded since if he really wanted to indulge in sadism he'd have his undead start abducting people from across the lands, personally exsanguinate them and proceed to slowly but surely have them turned into livestock for Chess
"Besides, personal satisfaction and hearing him cry like a little bitch with what I'd do to him. There's also the fact that I could get tons and tons of information out of him. Because one thing that every living being has in common is self-preservation, and all it takes is me whittling away at him long enough for me to lure him into thinking that if he tells me what I want then he'll be free of it all. Once that happens and I got everything I want, then he gets turned into one of undead or sacrificed so I can summon up one of the Edo Tensei I have in mind." Gohan added as rarely did he indulge in his evil impulses besides it being necessary to grow his hordes, because unless you went out of your way to piss him off then it was nothing personal..just business
"Like I've said before and I'll say it again, you truly are one of my most interesting and by far the most well-liked hosts. Far more than your mother, because it is so refreshing to see someone not deny what's in their heart." Kurama said in finding their current host who was no doubt the most unrepentantly evil of them all, the most interesting because he was also the one who through his force of personality able to draw so many others towards him
"Thank you for the compliment. Anyways, I still can't wait for the moment she takes power. Because when that happens I can start twisting and changing her to become a wonderful Hokage that's loyal to me. Not only that but she'll be perfect to help me set the stage for my eventual domination of this place." Gohan replied while a malevolent smirk crossed his face
"The best part about is that she's inherited all the faults of an Uzumaki, one of them being their naive and they're being too damn trusting in people." Kurama told him as Kushina had inherited the biggest of the Uzumaki's traits that would make her so easy to manipulate
That being their loyalty to an absolute fault in people which despite their prowess in both sealing and swordsmanship as well as their great physical toughness and stamina, they were still subject to being manipulated and their trusting and great loyalty in people made them the easiest to be subject to manipulations from others.
"Then it shouldn't take me any real-time to get her on my side at all, as I wonder how long it'll take for me to turn her over. Since I can't wait to see how she'll be when I've completely corrupted her." Gohan spoke in wondering how what an evil Kushina would be like
"In any case it shouldn't take too much work to do, since she trusts you completely. Therefore you should have no problems in corrupting her and honestly, I'll be happy to help you every step of the way. Because the thought of Minato's wife being turned evil when he was a such a goody-two-shoes, sounds absolutely delightful." Kurama said as they were wholly for the idea of turning his former host into a future evil Hokage that was on their side
"Neither can I. Which reminds me of the fact that I really need to find a way to get ahold of that blond bastard's blood or D.N.A so I can get ahold of the other half of your chakra." Gohan responded in knowing that he needed to get on that A.S.A.P
'Not to mention I need to get to work on my Charisma stat if I want to make Kushina turn over to the dark side quicker.' Gohan thought to himself in knowing that if he wanted to turn Kushina evil at a quicker rate then he had some work to do on his Charisma stat
"Well, I wish you the best of luck on that front, since you'll be needing it. Because I can't wait to be whole again." Kurama said as they couldn't wait to finally be whole again after almost 20 years of being at only half their strength
"Don't worry it'll be soon enough, but in any case I'm gonna go. Because I still have a lot of work to do with the Chunin Exams coming up this July." Gohan replied as he severed the link and went off elsewhere in the mindscape
"Now that he's gone I can finally start working on an actual human form again, as it'll make talking with him less odd." Kurama said to themself as they went into putting finishing details on their human form
(4 days later, June 3rd, 998 S.E, Training Ground 7, 2:13 Pm)
It was days later as Gohan was with Kakashi as he was now in a very good mood for one reason and one reason only, that being after weeks and weeks of training he'd finally completed the Rasengan.
"Finally I've got it down-pat!" Gohan spoke as he held the coconut sized orb of compressed chakra in his left hand
"Time to see what this sucker can do at last." Gohan added as he saw the nearest maple tree in sight
That in mind he lept towards it and thrust the orb of compressed chakra into the tree, with the result being that it was soon reduced to splinters and sawdust to the point of whereafter he opened his eyes he saw a 12 foot by 10 foot by 12-foot spiral-shaped crater in the ground. With Gohan and Kakashi being shocked by the power output of Gohan's Rasengan; with Kakashi for the fact that the power output that was displayed by the completed Rasengan while Gohan didn't expect such a thing considering that when Naruto initially did it in canon it wasn't as violent or destructive as this.
"I did not expect for it to go down like this." Gohan said to himself in surprise of the destructive potential of his Rasengan
What the fuck else did you expect when you compress your chakra into something like that, as unlike canon this shit will actually grind people into a bloody pulp.
"Well I'll say this much, you definitely have the Rasengan completed." Kakashi spoke as he dusted sawdust and splinters from himself
"I could definitely tell that it was a success, as to be completely honest I didn't expect this to do that much damage. But at least now I have a possible one-shot kill move that I can use on people." Gohan said as he jumped out of the large hole he made in the ground
"I'd hold off on using that until we go out on missions, seeing as how your trial run caused all of this to happen." Kakashi advised him seeing as how the amount of power packed into it was something he shouldn't go about using willy nilly
"Don't worry I won't, besides I have an entire forest where I can test it out on." Gohan told the cycloptic jonin considering that he had the entire Forest of Death to test the Rasengan out
'Not to mention it'll make great practice for killing off demons in the dungeon as well, for an added bonus.' Gohan thought to himself at the opportunity to test it out
Considering that the Demon Dungeon would be perfect for testing his Rasengan out on live targets and fitting it in with his up in your face style of fighting since he also thought that it would be perfect to crush Neji with at the finals.
"Anyways, thanks for having helped me complete the Rasengan; Kakashi as now that I've completed it I can really get started on the good stuff." Gohan spoke with a wide grin on his face at the fact that he could move onto what he's really been wanting to do the moment he completed the Rasengan
"What is this supposed 'good stuff' that you're on about exactly?" Kakashi questioned Gohan
"I might as well tell you, since it's been something I'm super excited to get started on." Gohan answered as the excitement he had at being able to move onto the next stage of things
"Well seeing as how I've completed the Rasengan, I figured that I might as well do what the 4th Hokage never could and start adding elements into it. Because why stop at just the basic version of it all, when I can go for gold and really fuck someone's day up!" Gohan told him with a nearly tangible amount of excitement at his soon being able to get started on completing the Rasenshuriken
"Good luck with that then, because even before Minato-sensei's untimely death he came nowhere close to being able to start mixing in his own elemental affinities with it. Neither has lord Jiraiya for that matter and he's had years to do so. Which is why I'll definitely be watching to see how it turns out." Kakashi said with a great deal of interest to see how Gohan's elemental variant to the Rasengan would turn out
"Thanks as after a week or so of getting this down to the letter, I'll be getting to work on mixing it up. I just hope I don't damage my house while I'm practicing." Gohan responded in hoping to not damage his house when he'd get to working on his eventual creation of the elemental variants to the Rasengan
"Anyways, what are we gonna do about the gaping hole in the ground I just made. Because I forgot to bring a shovel to bury the hole." Gohan added considering that had he known his Rasengan was going to be this destructive he would've brought a shovel
"Don't worry I've got it covered." Kakashi told him as he did a quick earth jutsu and soon enough earth and mud-filled in the large hole made by Gohan
"There, problem solved." Kakashi spoke as he dusted himself off
'Mental note, invest in building up an earth affinity. Because man that looks super useful for getting rid of evidence or bodies for that matter.' Gohan thought to himself considering that earth release would really be great for getting rid of bodies
"Well I think that for today this concludes our training." Kakashi spoke in feeling that this was a good enough point to conclude things
"I'd agree on that, anyways I'll leave since there's still so much I have to do in order to prepare for the Exams in July." Gohan responded in knowing that there was still a lot needed to do in order to be as possibly prepared for the Chunin Exams
"Good luck to you, Sasuke, Yakumo and...Sakura." Kakashi spoke as he was thankful that Yakumo was finally on Team 7
"Thanks, because I've got the distinct feeling we'll need it." Gohan replied in knowing that when they encountered Orochimaru they'd need to do everything they could to get the fuck out of dodge
"In any case good luck." Kakashi spoke before shunshinning away
'Well I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.' Gohan thought to himself as he soon saw a message from the game
Congratulations you've learned a new skill.
Rasengan
A-Ranked
Well you've finally learned one of the 4th Hokage's signature moves that can grind a person's insides into mush. Because the moment you hit someone with this they'll be more than likely down for the count..unless they have some bullshit healing factor.
CP Cost: 43,200
Deals 52,500-57,000 force damage
'Yep I'm definitely gonna love using this on people.' Gohan thought to himself as he began happily walking back to his house
(4 days later, June 7th, 998 S.E, ROOT HQ, 1:45 Pm)
It was days later after Gohan's completion of the Rasengan; that he'd go to the ROOT HQ too see how Kushina was proceeding with her training regiment in order to get back into combative shape.
"So how's Kushina doing with her training?" Gohan answered as Danzo gestured towards Kushina fighting 4 ROOT operatives by herself with her sword and shield
"Apparently she wanted to challenge herself and initially requested for a 6 on 1, but I had to remind her of her limitations and not to get carried away. Therefore we came to a compromise and came to what she's doing now." Danzo replied as it took awhile for them to reach a compromise but eventually Kushina caved after seeing reason
"You do gotta give it to her that she's determined." Gohan said in having to give it to her that she had guts for certain
"Yes, her determination is certainly admirable in terms of wanting to get stronger. But even she needs to temper it by the fact that she has limitations and that she must take things one step at a time; instead of trying to leap several at a single time." Danzo responded in respecting Kushina's determination and resolve to get back into fighting shape, but even so knew she had to recognize her limitations
"That doesn't seem to stop her from fighting on equal footing with those operatives she's up against." Gohan noted as she bashed a ROOT operative in the face with her shield and parried a katana strike aimed at her sternum
"Ever since she could properly hold that sword and shield right, she's been taking every opportunity to train with them and make herself as great as she used to be. In fact, I have to have my medical personnel watch over her to make sure she doesn't overexert herself, as she's no good to either of us if she tears a muscle or pulls her tendons because she got carried away in her training." Danzo remarked at the fact that her determination was so potent to return to her fighting prime that his medics had too often get her to slow it down so she wouldn't risk tearing a muscle from how much she pushed herself
"I should have known she would be pushing herself that hard. Especially since she's adamant about being strong enough to one day take that hat from Hiruzen." Gohan spoke in knowing that Kushina would be pushing herself that hard to one day defeat Hiruzen and take the hat away from him
Because even with all the strength that Gohan had amassed in both his Necromancer and Warrior classes as well as all the additional training he put himself under, that Hiruzen Sarutobi despite his advanced age was very much a credible threat. Even discounting the political and social power he wielded, he was still the Professor and even as an old man he knew that his chances of defeating him as it currently stood were at the lower to middle end of being able to hopefully defeat him in combat.
"Agreeable on that stance as my former rival may have declined with the ravages of age, but even I have to admit he's still formidable." Danzo agreed with the fact that Hiruzen could still hold his title of being the God of Shinobi
"Even still, with the rate, Kushina is pushing herself I have no doubt that she'll be able to reach her prime and soon exceed it." Danzo added as he saw Kushina block stabs aimed at her stomach with her shield and then in a flourish only a master swordsman could pull off disarmed two of the ROOT operatives of their weapons
"Oh I have no doubt about that, still there's something I have to ask about that's slipped my mind over these past couple of months." Gohan questioned as he saw Kushina overtake the ROOT operatives through sheer swordplay
"What would that be exactly?" Danzo asked in return
"How has Wave been fairing; since we put in those implementations to improve it?" Gohan asked in wondering how Wave has been doing in all this time
"It has been doing quite well actually. As it finally has a relatively strong militia for a non-shinobi area, its hospitals are still in development, seeing as how training medics is something that isn't exactly easy to do. But the progress has been going great so far. Not to mention that we've successfully built an academy for them as well so that they can actually have a chance at having educated people to boost their literacy rates among having actual educated people to run Wave in the future. Lastly, their economy has significantly improved thanks to Gato no longer having such a stranglehold on it." Danzo informed him of the fact that things in Wave since they began to influence things there had changed very much for the better of their people
"That's extremely excellent news, however, I'm sensing a but coming along." Gohan said in knowing that good things like this always had a but too it
"As much as I would like to say otherwise on the subject, it is true that things in Wave may take a return for the worst." Danzo responded as Gohan sighed in knowing that it was too good to be true
"Alright..what's the deal and what am I looking at?" Gohan questioned the warhawk
"Well, it seems as though in the assault on Gato's hideout that you and Sasuke Uchiha had gone on 6 months ago that you left behind some stragglers that got away. With those stragglers eventually coming into contact with a rogue ninja from Kirigakure who has defected and has decided to try and make it big as a warlord. With him leading those stragglers as his personal army and has been attempting to take over Wave for 2 months now." Danzo answered back as to what the situation was
"It this has been going on for 2 months now, then why not have informed me about the situation earlier on?" Gohan asked in wondering why he wasn't called in for handling this sooner
"Because I didn't want to waste your time on something that would've been an insignificant threat. However, as time has gone on they've become something that can't be ignored any further. Something of which requires your skillset to be handled." Danzo told him, as he didn't want to waste Gohan's time with things that would be a waste of his time
"Fair point all things considered. Anyways, when do you want me to leave and get this all settled and squared away?" Gohan questioned as to when Danzo would want him to leave in order to have this issue taken care of
"Tonight at the earliest and tomorrow morning by 5:30 or 6 in the morning at the earliest." Danzo answered back while Gohan nodded
"Just when I thought things were settled down, it pulls me right back in." Gohan sighed as he knew that he'd have to cut his time short with Kushina in order to deal with this issue
"Well you should have enough time to be able to spend it with Kushina...perhaps get in a sparring match to prepare you for this would be warlord you'll no doubt have to face." Danzo advised to him while Gohan already summoned his greatsword at the mention of that
"Good idea." Gohan spoke before going down to Kushina who had finished with defeating the ROOT operatives during their conversation
"Hello Gohan, what are you doing here?" Kushina asked as to why Gohan was in the training field
"Well, I figured that I could spend some time with my mother and what better way to do so than a good old fashioned sparring match." Gohan answered back as he got into a fighting stance
"Since my son wants a sparring match, so badly, then who am I to deny him that." Kushina spoke as she got into a stance of her own
"But just so you know I won't hold anything back against you; just because your my little boy." Kushina added as Gohan only let out a bit of laughter in response
"Oh please do hold back, it'll make it even more hilarious when I beat you." Gohan spoke before charging at Kushina
'My little boy thinks he can beat me, that's just precious. Oh well guess I'll have to show him that my forced catnap hasn't weakened me enough for him to be able to beat me.' Kushina thought to herself before launching herself at Gohan as well
So with Gohan and Kushina having officially reunited with one another we also see him having completed the Rasengan and now going back to Wave to stop a pretender of a warlord from taking it over. How will he be able to stop said warlord in question..well you'll have to find that out in the new chapters of A Necromancer's Path to Power.
Well then let's get onto the reviews from the last chapter now shall we.
TheOnlyKing: Sorry about that the website glitched out on me when I was uploading the chapter, so I had to go back and do it all over again. Other than that I'm happy you enjoyed the last chapter and hope you enjoy this one.
NeoInifinity: I did age them up to their Shippuden ages so it would work better for the story overall.
Remzall Von Enili: Trust he'll get there soon, he just has to get his Vitality stat up too par first so he can go the distance with Shukaku.
John50: The next world that Gohan will be going to will be after he finishes up Naruto and said world he'll be going towards will be that of Game of Thrones so as to help up his melee abilities and to fuck around in Westeros since its too much of a good opportunity not to do so.
MasterofDragonsGod: Glad you liked the last chapter and hoped you enjoyed this one.
CuriousGuest: Yep that's right man Anko knows and all those demons are gonna get wrecked by her raining hell on them. Also, yes Shukaku is a 100% female in this story since it made to sense for me not to do so and as for Gaara well...I have a surprise planned for him as well when he makes his debut (cue evil laughter). Now that Kushina is awake first is her getting her strength back up to be a credible threat after taking an extended catnap, also once Kakashi finds out she's alive he's gonna be uber pissed at the fact that he missed on another person who helped him get over the grief of his father. I also found it weird that Kushina just up and dropped wanting to be the 1st female Hokage and decided to be a housewife, but now that she's back in action she will replace Tsunade as the 5th Hokage.
frankieu: Happy you liked the last chapter and hope that you'll like this one as well.
Guest: Trust me he will, its just gonna be a while until that happens.
Mckenray: Holy shit that's a good idea and thanks for bringing that up as now I've got something to do with Hanabi and get her involved as well. Considering that I wanted to have a way of getting the Hyuga clan to be a player in all of this and that was it so thank you for the idea of Hanabi.
Sydanus: Trust me the fight between Gohan and Gaara is gonna be something that's for sure. Also, I'm still not so sure about that considering that Yakumo is dead set on not only breaking Hinata's mind but melting it to the point of where she's absolutely insane and then kills her. So the thought of her doing what you suggested is very low in possibility.
massone22: Yes he will.
Starblazer240: Hope you like this update.
one-eyedtitanking: Oh I will do something like that as once he maxes out Necromancer I planned on giving him an undead monster from the Yugioh series as something equivalent to that because they do have some dope ones.
L.B.N: Glad you like the updates man and Kushina won't be really having too many major changes in the story until after the Invasion and going onwards when she becomes Hokage as that's when she'll be able to really start affecting things in story.
Blazing Heart Frigid Soul: Sadly I didn't account for Yugito and Fuu or Roshi and them when drafting up the Chunin Exams since I wanted to keep it contained to where I wouldn't have to be stressing over whose what in all of what's to come. But speaking of which Fuu will be showing up after the invasion, so sorry to disappoint you on that note my dude. Also, I can dig Pakura who I do think is an underused character and I will have a use for her but will put her with someone else.
Joshl1294: I totally agree with you on the Genderbending thing as a Gatcha because that's something that I feel would be an absolute must. Also, the whole Ino-Shika-Cho trio as you said doesn't really need much to change it except just some general upgrades here and the fact that the Invasion will be giving them a much-needed push to want to get their shit in gear. That and Shino really is a boss. Also yes Anko can do snake summons like Orochimaru its just that at the moment she can't learn Sage Mode due to Manda being the leader of the Snakes and as such is cockblocking her from being able to learn it. I agree full well with adding that episode to when I cover the DXD universe since Rias in a belly dancer outfit is really something else and I agree with you that she is Thicc. Oh and I agree with you that they get off way too easy which is why they'll pretty much either die or be used for their souls when Gohan eventually steps over into one of the advanced classes he gains upon completing necromancer. Also, I feel as though Issei on some level gets off on watching that stuff happen to him since their is a part of me that feels he's into watching and possibly being cucked. And yeah there's gonna be a bit to get through before we go to Game of Thrones although the Sasuke Retrieval arc won't really happen for reason why when we get to it. I feel like the Dress Create would make total sense and would have a lot of fun shenanigans attached to it if ya know what I mean. Also Gohan would more than likely call him Uncle J or something along those lines since he'd more or less be an uncle to him or mainly be bros on that note. Trust me the Ino-Shika-Cho team will after the invasion more or less get their shit in gear completely as it'll be the final push to show that they need go further in their training and step it up. Also I got plans on what Hanabi will be like with Hinata so that won't really fit with what I've got planned. Furthermore I love the idea of Kiba getting captured by Iwa and learning that he can't really act like a immature douche and that this shit is real which could lead to this awesome arc of him learning to embrace the beast within himself and I think having him gain a fire affinity would be dope too as all hail the eventual Cerberus Fang over Fang lol.
Well that cuts this chapter to an end and I hope you guys enjoyed it and all that happened within it, but without further ado let's get down to it now shall we.
First up we've got the reunion between Gohan and Kushina which I hoped y'all enjoyed since it was a scene that I had worked my best to nail down and make good enough for you guys to like and all that.
Following that up, we've got the bit between Gohan and Kurama where we get them discussing Gohan's wanting to turn Kushina evil, as not only will it give him the incentive to start working on his charisma but also making it so that the things he gets Kushina to do once she's in power more agreeable and to her liking when he suggests them
Next up, would be the bit of where Gohan finally completes the Rasengan. Which I did considering that I wanted to show the power of what Gohan's Rasengan is like and the fact that as we approach the Chunin Exams, that he is more than going to need it.
Lastly, we've got Danzo and Gohan discussing a bit on Kushina progress in training herself to get back to her prime and Gohan's new reason to go back to Wave which I thought would be a nice way to get Wave relevant once more into the story.
That being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story as much as possible; because I'd like to see how far this story can be taken and become something pretty dope in the long run. Also please remember that flames won't be tolerated since they're merely a waste of everyone's time and the fact that I appreciate constructive criticism as long as you do it in a well thought out and respectable manner.
With all that being said this Pravus666 signing off until next time, with next time being Gohan's return to Wave to fight a rogue Kirigakure ninja turned wannabe warlord. So stay tuned for all of that.
