Hey guys!

I hope you enjoy today's chapter and remember:

I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.

The tree's branches made a little sound as some ninjas quickly moved through the forest by using them. They seemed to be in a rush as their speed was incredible. One of them, a man with a conical hat and a face mask that covered almost all of his face, was being escorted by other 3 shinobi. The man seemed really trusting about the shinobi that had just told them that they would take him to a village that wasn't even his own, which made the other shinobi suspect of him.

"He is definitely planning something." Daichi thought, which eventually lead him to thinking of his old friend, Itachi, whose plans were mostly perfect. The Uchiha's face couldn't help but show some disgust and anger as this thoughts showed up in his mind.

Yuichi, who was the leader of the group, hadn't really paid much attention to the group, but he at least trusted in Aoba to inform him of any abnormality. He, as Tobirama's grandson, had some prejudice against the Uchiha, making him unable to fully trust on any of them.

Konoha... The man with the conical hat thought as he continued struggling to follow the younger men's speed. Am I making the right decision? What would the Tsuchikage think of me?

Aoba, who wasn't really paying attention on anything, was thinking of which sunglasses he would buy next. The ones he was wearing at the moment were getting a bit old, so he wanted to change them, and he definitely wanted some that really made him stood up. Fortunately for his interest in getting new sunglasses, the ones he had at that moment were totally destroyed by a really ugly looking man, who kicked his face as he went down from an upper branch.

After him, a blonde, young and way better looking man fell down from a higher tree. Both of them wore the same black robe with red clouds decorating it. Yuichi immediately recognized this robes and beckoned his companions to back off. Despite of his differences with the Senju, Daichi really respected him and accepted that he had a higher rank than him, so he still followed his instructions.

"Hmph." Han expressed his disappointment in the squad that escorted him as he ignored the Senju's orders and stepped forward to face the aggressors. "Leave me alone." The man, who already looked intimidating being silent, spoke up with a tone that only increased his presence.

"Let me think about it..." The blonde man said as he took his hand to his chin. As the man appeared to be taking his hand out of his robe, he throwed some white clay looking object. It exploded as soon as it touched the floor and, just like that, Han was thrown away by it.

Daichi immediately activated his Sharingan. The Sharingan always gave some presence during battles, but the men in the black robes didn't seem to care a lot about the dojutsu, specially the blonde one, who seemed to get even cheered up at the sight of a sharingan.

"Who are you?" Yuichi asked as he moved to Daichi's side, taking a defensive position.

"Why should we tell you?" The ugly man, who now appeared to have his back curved, asked back.

"I don't care! You destroyed my damn glasses!" Aoba yelled from behind, quickly moving towards the unknown men and trying to nail a kunai in the eye of the ugly man. As the kunai penetrated the man's eye, it made a sound similar to that of wood, making Aoba lose his concentration due to confusion.

The ugly man took the kunai out and quickly nailed it in the Jounin's eye, making him scream in pain. "Don't ever touch my puppets."

"No!" Yuichi yelled as he stopped his partner's fall to the ground with his hands. As he looked at how serious the injury was he comprehended how dangerous these men really were. The Senju looked behind him and saw Han, who had just come back, behind Daichi. The tall man was expressionless, as always. "We have to escape."

Han nodded in understanding, he was eager to collaborate with these foreign shinobi in order to escape from people as dangerous as the ones dressed in a black robe. As soon as Han nodded, Yuichi used a smoke bomb and then his incredible speed to escape from there. Daichi couldn't put up with this speed, but he still managed to escape quickly. Han, on the other hand, had to borrow some of his Bijuu's chakra to keep up with the pace, making a white aura cover his body.

"Shit." The ugly man said as the smoke finally dissipated, showing the disappearance of the man they were searching for.

"Damn, we're so dead." The blonde man said as he also noticed that they had successfully escaped.

"Don't worry, he's ours, we know he'll be in Konoha." The ugly man said as he jumped up to a higher tree.

"Wait, Sasori!" The blonde man yelled as he followed his partner.

"One." A boy dressed in a green suit said as he made push-ups. "Two." He continued, making his friends give him a weird look.

"You never stop exercising, do you?" A brown-haired girl, who was sitting next to him, said. She wore a pink, sleeveless shirt with a blue pair of jeans.

"I have to keep training until Guy-sensei comes back." The boy said as he continued with his exercises.

"You can stop already." A brown-haired boy with a white shirt said. "Guy said that he'd be back in the training camp before the sun sets, so relax." He was sitting in the top of a log with other 2 logs at it's sides. Next to him, was Tenten, who simply decided to watch nature as she waited.

Lee was the first to notice his master's arrival as he stopped making push-ups. Might Guy, one of the strongest Jounin in Konoha, now arrived at the training camp. He was jogging as Lee noticed him, then stopped and waved at his students.

"You're participating in the chuunin exams!" Guy yelled as he showed the papers to his students. His smile couldn't be bigger. "The power of youth is strong in you!"

"Thanks, master, I couldn't be more proud and thankful to you!" Lee said as he started to cry out of happiness.

"Do not worry, my pupil, your youth will help you in this test!" Guy said as he dropped a couple of tears of pride.

Unfortunately, all Tenten and Neji could drop were drops of sweat as they cringed at their teammate and master's enthusiasm. Either way, they stood up to get the paper from their master.

"Anyway, thank you, Guy-sensei." Tenten said as she bowed in gratefulness. The man handed the paper to her and Neji as he gave them a big smile, then winking an eye to both of them.

"I'm really proud of you! Your youth is really admirable!" The Jounin yelled as he started to drop tears of pride as he gave his students a glance.

"I mean, we haven't even started the exams. What if we end up losing?" Neji said as he crossed his arms and got a doubtful expression in his face.

"It doesn't matter, I'm still really proud of you." He said as he continued crying out of happiness and pride.

"I'm proud of you too!" Lee said as he went back to crying next to Guy. Then, both of them were crying. This made both Tenten and Neji cringe again, it was impossible for them to get used to that.

"Shouldn't we be training like them?" Sakura asked as she got a disappointed expression on her face. She was pointing towards the members of team 10, who were working hard in their training.

The members of team 7, except for Kakashi, had been walking for a while now. They had talked about several things, but mainly about the chuunin exams.

As they walked next to one of the training camps, they saw team 10 training, which made them surprised. They all seemed really tired, but surprisingly they kept training. What surprised them the most was that Gohan was doing an absolutely harder training, carrying gigantic rocks from one side to another, using trees as weights and running at an amazing speed. But something got Sakura's attention the most was that as Gohan ran, Ino tried his hardest to reach him, she obviously wasn't able to, but she still tried, and for some reason, Gohan didn't notice.

"Training is for weak losers." Sasuke said as he continued walking, ignoring that his 2 teammates had already stopped. He was totally shocked at Gohan's training, but his pride was stronger than anything else.

"What's the point? The exams start tomorrow." Naruto said, shrugging afterwards. "It's not like training now will change anything."

"But..." Sakura wasn't able to think of something to convince her friends, so she gave up and continued walking next to them. "We're going to regret this aren't we?"

As Gohan kept running at the same pace, each time sweating more and more, Ino, who still tried to keep up with the saiyan's pace, finally collapsed out of tiredness, making Gohan notice her. Shikamaru and Chouji had already stopped their training and so they quickly went by her side. Her face was red and sweaty, with some pieces of grass attached to it as she had fallen face down towards the floor.

"Has she been trying to keep up with me?" Gohan asked as he grabbed the girl.

"Mhm." Shikamaru answered as he cleaned the sweat from his forehead.

"You should go to rest too, I have to find a way for Ino to be alright for tomorrow." Gohan said as he got a worried expression, turning back to look at Ino.

"We'll help you." Chouji said, taking out a bag of chips and eating some of them as Shikamaru started to complain.

"I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!" Gohan said, making Shikamaru lower his head in defeat.

"Whatever." The Nara said helplessly.

Ino now layed on a hospital bed as a doctor analysed her with his sight. He was submerged in his thoughts as he continued to glance at her. This made the blonde girl's friends get a bit uncomfortable. As wind entered the room and moved the curtains, the doctor finally talked.

"She just needs to rest, I don't understand why you came here." The doctor said, grabbing a piece of paper and throwing it into the garbage.

"Um, sir, we need to find a way to make her be ready for the chuunin exams tomorrow." Gohan said, smiling nervously after finishing his phrase. The doctor looked back at the saiyan with great surprise and some distrust in his face.

"If you were participating in the exams then why did you train so hard the day before?!" The man asked. "Anyways, unfortunately for you, there's nothing I can do for you young friend over here."

"Sigh." Gohan's head and arms lowered down as the boy was disappointed by the doctor's answer.

"Except to give her some pills." The doctor continued, making Gohan recover his normal stance.

Gohan was laying in his bed, trying to sleep. He'd never struggled with insomnia at any time of his life, but him being so homesick had surely caused him many problems. It had been several days now since he arrived. He now had friends and people to look up to, but the fact that there was probably no way to go back home just made him depressed.

As tears went down his face, he got up to grab a glass of water. On the way to his kitchen, he saw his messy desk. 2 towers of books were laying in the desk, he sighed as he remembered he had to get them back. After drinking the glass of water, he gave another glance to the desk, finding frustration at the thought of so many hours reading lost for him not to find anything.

He finally went back to bed and tried to get some sleep. As Gohan was finally able to sleep, several ANBU entered the house and carefully checked the entirety of it. After a couple of hours, they left the house without finding anything suspicious.

So that was the chapter! I hope you liked it.

Anyway, see you soon!
