"Gai-sensei that was amazing! Your youthfulness is impressive as always. Krillin-sensei may have come out on top this time. However, as we both know that just means you need more training." Lee tossed the bag of Senzu beans back to Majo. He gave his concious master a thumbs up.
"Thanks Lee, those things are really impressive. It's like a food pill, but more filling." He returned the thumbs up to his star pupil. The black haired adult stood as he dusted himself off. "I'll admit Krillin has some top tier skill and power. I approve of him training you." In direct defiance of natural law in the shadow of Korin tower his teeth sparkled in the sun.
The bald human in question walked over to him. "Good to know. Though I must say Gai, even if Lee hadn't told me about you. I think your importance to him would have been easy to tell."
Gai smiled again as his fellow teacher spoke. "As expected, the Blue Beast of the Leaf village is famous. No matter where he goes." The shorter adult visibly reacted with shock for a moment at his words. "Speaking of training I actually came to get my pupil. He missed the last Chunin exam. So I wanted him to get his youthful shot at the next!"
"I'm excited for this opportunity Gai-sensei. How did Ten Ten and Neji do on the last one?" The young boy was doing squats in place as he asked.
"Neji is now a Chunin, as expected of one of my students! However, Ten Ten failed in the last round. No question that she will succeed next time! The Sand village will sponsor this one." The master of the eight gates gave his student another thumbs up.
Meanwhile, turtle looked concerned about what he had done. Something uninvited had come thru during the summoning Jutsu. As the Guardian of the Northern gate of Dragon Palace he must never do that again. Unfortunately, he had no idea how to find it.
Eighteen noticed the far away look in the amphibian's eye. "You alright Turtle sweetie?"
He realized that his worry was showing at her words. He adopted his vacant, but happy expression once more. "I'm okay, don't worry Eighteen-san."
"By the way Krillin, I would like to formally invite you. The Chunin exams will be held in a month. Come see the youthfulness of our pupil in action!" Another unexplainable shine to his smile followed.
"Sure Gai, I wouldn't miss it. I'll bring Eighteen and Majo as well if you don't mind." The Z fighter waited for a response.
"The more the merrier I always say. Youthful power is meant to be admired by all." Gai laughed loudly in joy. "Turtle and Lee let's head out." The two mentioned approached and they all disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Majo had remained silent as she tried to process what happened. Everyone was so much more powerful than her. Her resolve wavered as she remembered how easily Cell had beaten her down. Then she thought about Rock Lee and his overwhelming confidence. He was her age and seemed to not know how to quit. She had to grow in power and confidence. That was her promise to herself and it was time to do it. "Krillin-sama, can we please start formal training now."
The bald man smiled thru fits of coffing in the smoke. "That was always the plan Majo. Though the reluctance I've felt from you seems to be gone now. Well then let's begin shall we? After we work on the basics for a bit. Then you'll be climbing Korin's tower. After that, whatever time is left before these Chunin exams. Will be devoted to more advanced techniques."
"That sounds like a plan Krillin-sama!" With that Majo started her path in learning the ways of the Turtle School.
Elemental Nations...
"Maybe, this needed to be thought out more." Jiraya shook minutely as the menace of the Kyubi cloak engulfed his student. It seemed four tails was the boy's current limit. He had struggled at three for dominance. So he probably should have stopped it there.
Quick hand signs followed as the blonde kid charged. At the last second he applied the last bit of chakra to his Jutsu. "Ninja Art, Neddle Jizo!" Several spikes struck true. He took a few tail strikes for his trouble. Sending him skidding across the dirt. "Not bad kid, but your dealing with a Sanin not a third rate Chunin."
Another charge followed and he smiled. Then vanished before the reckless attack connected. The white haired man decided to end the current experiment. He prepared a sealing Jutsu as his possesed pupil sent several wind blades at him. Suddenly, his target vanished in a cloud of black smoke. "What just happened?" Naruto didn't know any skill like that.
Z verse southern desert...
"Yamcha, why did we come back here? I thought our days of baditry were over." The blue cat hovered in front of her best friend.
"I don't know Puar. This is where we met our two oldest friends. The androids nearly killed me. Then Cell showed up and those mini versions of him kicked my ass. I just feel so useless."
"It's okay Yamcha, you still have me. Maybe we could become a super hero duo or something." She looked around their cave that was home for so many years. "I mean loads of people don't have our kind of power. The other Z fighters may outclass you, but that doesn't mean your weak."
Suddenly, a tearing sound echoed across the desert. A loud roar followed as the man felt a menacing presence. He looked out as he gathered his courage. "You right like usual Puar. I don't know what I would do without you." He grinned with a confidence he hadn't felt for some time. "For starters I shall deal with our bloodthirsty visitor." The feline nodded and smiled as Yamcha headed out.
He was surprised to find a blonde boy surrounded by a dangerous red aura. "Hey boy calm down, or by kami I'll make you!"
The answer was clear enough as the merged form roared. A powerful wind came from his mouth. It picked up grains of sand that moved with such force that skin could be torn off. The former desert robber wasn't normal by any means though. At his level of strength bullets could bounce off his body.
"Hard way then. Time for a taste of my Wolf Fang Fist!" As his punches connected he felt the skin on them burn. That was when he noticed the same thing was happening to the kid.
He backed up and shook his damaged hands. "Messy technique huh. Guess we'll talk when you wake up. Nighty night kid, here is my Extra Large Spirit Ball!" As the scarred man raised his hand a dense orb of ki energy appeared from it. He sent it and pounded his foe repeatedly until he dropped unconscious.
"Nice warm up, too bad I couldn't let you destroy yourself. I got a soft spot for children with uncontrolled power I suppose." He knelt and pick up his blonde guest. He was covered in red burns like he stepped into a fire. Yamcha walked towards his cave trying not to jostle the hurt guy. "Hey Puar we have injured, lay out the extra mat would you!" His shout was strangely jovial.
GBZ info:
The plot thickens, insert evil laugh here. For anyone wondering Naruto and Yamcha will only have a minor role in this story. Rock Lee v Naruto Uzumaki will be interesting, don't you think? Peace
