Hey guys!
So there's a new chapter! :D
I hope you like it and remember:
I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.
Yuichi stood right next to the Hokage's desk as the old man checked upon some new documents he'd received from some of the Jounin that were now in his office.
"I'm guessing that you already know why you're here, but if you don't know still, then our motive is the Chuunin Exams." The third explained as he got up and walked towards the Jounin. "And first of all, I would like to ask Kurenai, Kakashi and Asuma if they recommend their teams for the exams."
Daichi, who was just behind Guy, widened his eyes in surprise as he discovered that Kakashi now had a team of genin to his command. He also was in charge of a Genin team, although he had never really cared much about it.
"I, Kakashi Hatake, recommend my students, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, for the Chuunin exams." The man known as the copy-nin said.
"I, Kurenai Yuhi, am on charge of team 8, which is formed by Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuuga and Kiba Inuzuka, and I recommend them all for the exams." The girl with the scarlet eyes firmly said, exchanging looks with Asuma as the man got ready to speak.
"I, Asuma Sarutobi, recommend my students, members from team 10, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi and Son Gohan, for the exams." The Hokage's son said as he confidently smiled after finishing his phrase.
"I would normally ask if you're sure about your decisions, but it seems that you're indeed very confident about it." The old man said. "It makes me intrigued to see what these rookies can offer."
How talented can those rookies be for them to be recommended so soon? Guy thought as he couldn't hide the surprise in his face. Specially the ones of Kakashi, who never approved of any team before them.
"Wait!" A voice in the back said. Iruka walked through the rest of the Jounin and finally stayed in front of the Hokage, next to Kurenai. "Hokage, sir, those Genin were my students and I know their abilities. I'm pretty sure that they still aren't ready for the exams."
Before either the Third or Kakashi were able to answer to Iruka's complaint, someone raised his hand before joining the conversation.
"You said it yourself, Iruka, they were your students." A man with black, long hair, replied in a slightly harsh tone. "How long has it been since the last time you saw them in action? I bet it's been a while."
Iruka was unable to answer to the Uchiha's reply and preferred to remain silent, giving Kakashi the opportunity to reply too.
"If you're more comfortable, you can test them by yourself." Kakashi calmly said, clearly ignoring Daichi's response.
Iruka answered by nodding and then went back to where he was.
"Chuunin what?" Gohan asked, making everyone except for Asuma fell back. The Jounin just cringed from his student's reaction.
"Exams." The son of Lord Third answered as he maintained his cringe expression.
"Oh, so that's what you do to get the higher rank, huh?" The saiyan said, making his teammates confused.
"Are you stupid or do you fake it? I'm not able to find out at this point." Ino said as she facepalmed.
"Anyway, I want to know what you think about it." The Jounin said as he gave a look to each one of them. "If you don't want to participate, you can wait for next year's exams."
"I think it will be fun, so I'm in." Gohan said, turning to his teammates before he continued talking. "I can help you train anyway."
"Then I'm in!" Chouji said as he raised his hand.
"Count on me for this." Ino said, smiling confidently as she finished her phrase.
"Whatever, I guess I'm in, too." Shikamaru indifferently said, turning his look apart from his partners. "But just if Gohan gets to train us, either way we're dead."
"Wow! I admire your enthusiasm boys!" Asuma happily said as he scratched the back of his head. "If you need any help with the training, tell me and I'll help with whatever I can!"
"Thanks a lot, Asuma." Gohan replied as he bowed to him, showing his gratefulness.
"So, when are these chuunin exams?" Shikamaru asked. He wanted to measure how much they'd have to train, although he knew that Gohan would get them fit in a really short time.
"In 2 days, so get ready!" Asuma said, giving his students a really big smile. "But don't worry, you'll be able to do it!"
Nara's jaw fell down in shock of the incredibly short amount of time they'd have to get ready. Ino, while as surprised as Shikamaru, just widened her eyes. On the other hand, Chouji just kept eating his chips as he expected something like that to happen.
"Then let's start right now!" Gohan said, waving at Asuma and running towards one of the training camps. "Follow me and try to keep my pace, this is the beginning of the training!"
"It's a joke, right?" Shikamaru asked to himself as he surprisingly admired the saiyan's speed. "Please tell me it's a joke."
"Stop complaining and let's go!" Ino said as she started to run behind Gohan, making her maximum effort to reach him. She was followed by Shikamaru and Chouji, who really struggled to even reach the blonde kunoichi.
"Huh, weird." Konohamaru said as he walked next to one of the training camps along with his friends.
"Where can the boss be?" Moegi asked as they continued to walk.
"Isn't that Gohan?" Udon said as he pointed towards the training camp, where Gohan was training along with his teammates.
"Yeah! Maybe he knows where the boss is!" Konohamaru said, running towards the camp as fast as he could. He was followed by Moegi and Udon, although he was clearly the fastest one of the 3.
As they got closer to him, Gohan sensed the familiar energy of the Hokage's grandson. He was a bit surprised by the speed of the young kid, who left his friends behind by a considerable distance.
"Hey! What do you need?" Gohan said, calling the attention of his teammates, who got distracted and stopped their physical training. "Not you, continue sprinting."
"Have you seen Naruto?" The young kid answered, to which the saiyan answered by shaking his head.
"Sorry, but have you tried searching in the other training camps? Or maybe in Ichiraku?" Gohan suggested.
"Oh, you're right, thanks." Konohamaru said, smiling afterwards. "Oh, by the way, when I become a Genin I want to train with you, too!"
"No problem! I see that you have potential, so it would be an honor." Gohan said, laughing softly afterwards.
"Anyway, bye, Gohan!" The kid said as he waved while starting to run backwards.
Moegi and Udon has finally gotten some time to rest as they saw Konohamaru return with the same speed as before. They still followed him even though they were tired.
"Alright, enough!" Gohan yelled, making his teammates fall down to the floor out of exhaustion. "Who won, then?"
"Ino, of course. We were totally crushed by her." Shikamaru said as he struggled to get some air.
"I am exhausted too, so there wasn't that much difference." The blonde girl said as she sat up in the floor.
Chouji remained silent as he started to eat another bag of chips he'd brought to the training camp.
"Anyway, you'll now have to take my headband off." Gohan said as he changed his headband's place from his arm to his forehead. "I used to do something similar with my father and my mentor back at home."
"Alright! Let's go!" Ino yelled as she got up. She was clearly exhausted and sore, but she still tried to encourage his friends to complete the training.
"Ugh." Shikamaru said as he got up, motivating Chouji to do the same.
Shikamaru quickly made his shadow imitation technique, failing to catch Gohan in it but getting him just in point for Ino to perform her Mind Body Switch Technique. As she got in the saiyan's mind, she was able to see some memories, which made her confused as she wouldn't get that inside of someone's mind. She saw Frieza killing Dende, then Piccolo sacrificing himself and as she was about to see 16's head being stomped, Gohan managed to get her out.
The girl was really shocked and shook as she got out of his mind. Gohan noticed this and glanced at her as she did the same. Chouji took advantage of this distraction and attacked the saiyan, who dodged the Akimichi's attack stylishly, making him hit the floor.
"Alright, I'm waiting." Gohan said as he got his hands in a clearly defensive position.
"Ugh." Was all Shikamaru could express as he got up from his knees. "We need a plan."
Ino took a kunai, standing up after taking it while leaving it behind her back.
"Wait, do you have a-" As the saiyan tried to ask something, the blonde girl throwed her kunai. Gohan obviously dodged it, but as he looked down at his feet, he saw how Shikamaru had trapped him with his shadow.
"Gotcha!" Chouji said as he calmly grabbed the saiyan's headband.
"Wow, that was really good." Gohan admitted as he released himself from the shadow, proving to Shikamaru that in fact he'd always been able to free himself from his technique. "I have to congratulate you for your effort, you were truly amazing."
"Hmph." Shikamaru said, nodding in thankfulness.
"Heh, thanks, you're cool you know?" Chouji said as he gave all of his teammates one of his chips. "There ya go."
"Thanks, Gohan, Chouji." Ino said, eating the chip after saying this. She glanced at Gohan while they all ate the chip Chouji had given to them, she had really been complimented by the saiyan's comment. What have you been through, Gohan?
"Do you think we'll find him?" Yuichi asked as he and other two Jounin made their way out of a forest.
"I don't know, all I know is that we have to find him." Daichi answered in a serious tone that was just strange for him.
"Aren't we disrespecting the First's legacy by getting the jinchuurikis back to Konoha?" A ninja with glasses and a brown hair as spiky as Kakashi's said.
"I guess, but there's nothing we can do about it." Yuichi said, surprising Daichi, who expected him to give a speech about his family.
Ironically, the next one to be surprised would be the Senju, as he noticed Daichi activating his Sharingan and stopping. As the Uchiha remained standing on a branch of a tree, Yuichi raised his eyebrow but still got his defense up.
"Aoba, is it that man over there?" Daichi asked as he pointed to a man. He was wearing a red conical hat and a red mask that covered half of his face. His face was also hidden by a white fabric that was attached to the hat. He also wore a red and gray uniform, similar to one from a samurai.
"I believe so, he matches the descriptions."Aoba answered. The three of them continued their way towards the man, who noticed them and started to run.
"No! Wait!" Yuichi yelled, trying to call the man's attention.
"Let's surround him." Daichi said, being answered by a nodding from each of his partners.
Aoba acted as a distractor for Daichi to try and give him a hit, but was unable to as the man dodged it. Finally, Yuichi got in front of him with his high speed, and as the man noticed it, he was surrounded.
"Back off, I don't want to be forced to use my power." The man said, getting apparently ready for using the one of the tailed-beasts' power.
"Calm down, we don't want to kill you, we just want to talk, alright?" Aoba said with a cautious tone.
"Alright." The man said without getting his guard down.
"So, what's your name?" Yuichi asked as he lowered his arms, giving the man a bit more trust.
"Han." The man coldly answered without lowering his hands. He was still ready for a battle against this three shinobi. "Where are you from and what do you want?"
"We're from Konoha." Yuichi answered as he crossed his arms. "We want you to stay in our village."
"Konoha?" Han asked as he started to submerge into his thoughts. "Why would you want me to go there?"
"The Hokage has the purpose of taking the jinchuurikis back to Konoha as they have apparently caused trouble and conflicts between villages." Yuichi answered. He thought he maybe had revealed too much information, but he was sure it was necessary for the sake of the mission's success.
"Do you intend to use us as weapons?" Han asked while he adopted a more relaxed position, making Daichi take his fighting stance without him noticing.
"Don't even dare to, Uchiha." Yuichi said as he noticed Daichi's intentions.
"Whatever." The Uchiha said as Han turned to look behind him, finding the ninja. Daichi walked back to Aoba's side as Han kept his relaxed position.
"And to answer your question: not that I'm aware of, but I'm not much on favor of using you as weapons, so I won't let it happen." Yuichi's answer convinced Han successfully, he would accept to go to Konoha, at least for now.
"I'm going with you, then." Han said, getting the several paper bombs he'd put all around the place back.
"Interesting." Yuichi said to himself as he turned around and started to move towards Konoha. "I would like you to meet someone when we're there."
