Chapter Four
Training Ground 7
Seven minutes later. Naruto and Kimora came running into the training ground.' And they were both panting heavily from running so fast.
Unsurprisingly, both Kakashi and Sasuke were already there and waiting calmly.
Sasuke was currently leaning against a training post, with his arms crossed and his face serious.
And Kakashi was reading his orange book, looking bored and his stance relaxed.
But upon seeing his two missing students finally arriving. Kakashi bookmarks his current page, and put his book away.
Naruto scowls at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you bastard! Why didn't you wait for us! Dattebayo!" Naruto growls out.
And Sasuke glares back at the blond.
"Hn…Why should I wait for someone who'll only slow me down…"Like you did with Hatake." Sasuke says coldly.
And Naruto glares harder at Sasuke. And now so was Kimora.
"Sasuke, Naruto didn't slow me down, he…" Kimora began, but was interrupted by her father.
Who's eyes were narrow and glaring at Naruto.
"Naruto don't badger your teammates or slow them down, and get away from my daughter… Or else." Kakashi threatens.
And Kimora glares at her father. As she held the blond haired boy's hand tightly, and moves closer to his side. And Naruto did likewise.
"No!" They shout in unison.
With Kakashi being slightly surprised, and annoyed by their blatant defiance.
And Kimora's glare harder at her father.
"I'll stand as close to Naruto-kun as I want, Tou-san!" Kimora declares defiantly.
Naruto on the other hand, gains a determined look.
"And nothing you do to me… Will make me break up with her! Dattebayo!" Naruto declares loudly. And looking directly at Kakashi with serious face.
Causing Kimora to blush… And Kakashi to glare harder at Naruto.
And making the white haired girl worry for the blond boy's safety.
"I see…But don't you think you're both moving way to fast? You're both still children after all."Kakashi says. And punctuating each word with a burst of killing intent at Naruto. While still glaring at the blond brat.
But both Naruto and Kimora harden their combine willpower, and didn't back down.
So it was only Sasuke who was trembling in fear, despite not being the target.
'Damn it… Am I the only one being affected by this.' Sasuke thought to himself, in annoyance.
Meanwhile
Kimora stares unflinchingly at her father.
"Maybe we are…But it's our choice to make, and it's my choice to push for more." Kimora says, with finality.
And Naruto nods, and giving Kakashi the same unflinching stare.
"See… Kimora-chan says it's ok, and sure we might be rushing things. But it's our choice. " Naruto adds fearlessly.
And Kakashi hides his surprise, at seeing their resolve. Then sighs and decides to drop the subject.
"Very well, moving on…The first thing we'll be doing is introductions, and then we'll get down to business…Kakashi says lazily, "I'll go first..."
"As you know, my name's Hatake Kakashi." Kakashi said lazily, "And I like somethings and I dislike other things…But one of the things, I really dislike… Is a certain blond brat, who's currently dating my daughter, without my permission." And Kakashi was glaring at Naruto again.
"And I love you to Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto mocks, with a cheeky smile on his face.
And Kimora stifles a giggle, with a smile.
"And I hate you Naruto." Kakashi deadpans, "As for my hobbies, I have plenty of those, and when it comes to my dream…I don't want to tell you that."
All he really told us was his name, and that he really dislikes the Dope/ Naruto-kun/me. Thought the three Genin hopefuls.
"Anyways, Mr. happy you can go next." Kakashi said lazily, as he lazily pointed at Sasuke.
Making Naruto laugh at Sasuke's stupid nickname, and Kimora to giggle, while covering her mouth.
And Sasuke glares at Kakashi for the ridiculous nickname. But starts his introduction anyways.
"Hn, my name is Uchiha Sasuke… I don't like much, other than training and I have many dislikes… My only hobby, is training to become stronger. So I can eventually surpass my elder brother, and get out of his shadow. As for my dream… I want to join the ANBU." Sasuke finishes coldly.
And Naruto sighs. But felt sad for the Uchiha.
' He needs to lighten up and live a little.' Naruto thought sadly to Kimora.
And Kimora mentally nods. But the blond easily feels her sadness for the Uchiha.
Kakashi on other hand frowns.
' I knew Sasuke wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps, but to go as far as joining the ANBU? ' Kakashi thought to himself before speaking up.
"Very good Sasuke… Kimora you're up next." Kakashi orders.
And Kimora nods, "Hi, I'm Hatake Kimora." Kimora starts, with a bright smile, "I like my family, Naruto-kun, music, dancing; nature, gardening with Kaa-chan and Naruto-kun. And I like to train. As for my hobbies, training is one of them, along with singing, dancing and gardening… Sadly my Shinobi training doesn't allow me much time for too many other hobbies... As for the things I dislike or rather hate… I hate unnecessary violence, cruelty and death, nature's destruction, traitors; perverts ('Except when it's eventually my boyfriend. 'She added telepathically to Naruto with a mental smirk. And causing him to force down a blush, with effort.) I hate rapists, and when the strong prey on the weak. And finally my dream… Is to become the best Kunoichi I can be!" Kimora declares strongly. With a clenched fist, which was raised to her eye level.
And Kakashi eye smiles again," Very good and to finish this off… Blonde you're next." Kakashi orders coldly.
And Naruto smiles widely and with effort, ignores Kakashi's tone and the nickname.
" Yo, I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Dattebayo!" Naruto begins loudly, "I like ramen, training, Kimora-chan, training with Kimora-chan, and Kimora-chan's singing and dancing! What I dislike is the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook, and Sasuke… And I hate all the things Kimora-chan hates. And I hate being judged and hated for something out of my control…" Naruto says bitterly.
And here both Kimora and Kakashi frown. And both of them hating how the villagers treated him.
'I'm sorry Naruto-kun.' Kimora thought sadly.
'Ungrateful villagers.' Kakashi sadly thought to himself.
And while the silver haired Jounin disliked the blond haired boy. He still didn't think it right, that the villagers were ostracizing him.
As for Sasuke, he had an uncaring expression on his face. But something the dope said caught his attention.
'Something out of his control? What did the dope mean by that?' Sasuke thought to himself.
And then Naruto smiled, having heard the thought his girlfriend sent him. As he continues his introduction.
"My hobbies are training with Kimora-chan and gardening with Kimora-chan and Kaa-chan and until today pranking." Naruto continues," As for my goals and dreams, it's to one day earn Kakashi-sensei's respect, to hopefully marry Kimora-chan one-day! " Getting blushes from both him and his girlfriend. And a glare from Kakashi. "And to join the Dragon Team, and become one of the greatest Shinobi warriors there ever was! Dattebayo!" Naruto declares loudly, with a determined look and pumping his fist in the air.
With the Dragon Team, being a group of Z warriors from all five great nations. Similar to the Akatsuki of Rain Country. And one of the only things Naruto found interesting in history class.
And his girlfriend smiles brightly at him.
"And I know you'll be able to do it Naruto-kun." Kimora says sincerely.
At this Kakashi frowns.
'She sure has a lot of faith in him…Though it's a misplaced faith.' Kakashi thought to himself, 'And good luck with getting my respect, marrying my daughter or joining the Dragon Team… You'll need it. Still, at least you gave up pranking, so that's something I guess.'
And Naruto smiles at his girl.
"Thanks Kimora-chan! Dattebayo!"
Sasuke, however scoffs.
"Yeah right Dope… If you think a clown like you, can even become an average Shinobi. Then you're a fool." Sasuke states aloud.
And Naruto and Kimora both glare at Sasuke. (Which the Uchiha ignores)
"Enough!" Kakashi orders, to diffuse the tension.
And also succeeds in getting his team's attention.
Kakashi then eye smiles at his Genin.
" As said I said earlier…We also have some business to take care of today, didn't I." Kakashi states happily.
To happily in Kimora's opinion.
And Naruto, Kimora and Sasuke all nodded. With Kimora and Naruto, still standing side by side and holding hands.
"But first, there's something you should know Genin Uzumaki… And I doubt you're aware of this." Kakashi smirks darkly, "Which is you have to pass my test first, before you can officially join Team 7." The lazy Jounin says, in a tone that could cut steel.
Sasuke looked indifferent on the surface. But under the surface he wanted to fight today.
While Kimora looks worried.
And Naruto grins.
"Oh, that…Kimora-chan already told me about the other test, and if you think about it… It makes sense that Academy students have to test again, after leaving the Academy! Dattebayo!" Naruto says smugly
And Kakashi frowns in disappointment.
'So that's why he isn't throwing a fit or panicking… And he understands the need for a second test.' Kakashi thought to himself, in mild surprise. But the silver haired Jounin, decides to cut to the chase.
" Now, you might being wondering where this leaves Kimora and Sasuke…Don't worry, they've passed automatically. Because I know my daughter, and she would easily figure out and win a teamwork test…And I decided to pass Sasuke, on his individual skills alone. "Kakashi informs them
With Sasuke not looking happy to hear this.
And neither was Kimora. Who frowns unhappily at her father, for giving her an auto pass. And it makes her more than a little angry.
'This isn't right Naruto-kun… We should be testing as a team!' Kimora thought angrily to her boyfriend.
And Naruto mentally nods.
'I know, and agree, but unfortunately Kakashi-sensei doesn't.' Naruto thought back.
Getting mentally grumbling from his girlfriend.
And Kakashi, unaware of the silent conversation going on, continues on.
"Which bring me too you Naruto…And I'll be blunt, I don't think Iruka should've promoted you to Genin. "Kakashi says coldly, "But I'm going to give you a chance to prove me wrong. By having you spar against me, one on one… And you have three hours, to try and convince me there's hope for you. Or you fail and get sent back to the academy."
And Naruto winces at the thought of being sent back to the Academy.
Meanwhile Kimora felt herself get angrier and angrier at feeling helpless to help the boy she cares for. As she glares at her father. But knew she wouldn't be able dissuade him.
Then Naruto put his a comforting hand on her shoulder. Having sensed her anger.
And causing her to look at him.
To see him smiling at her, which calmed her down immediately.
"It's ok Kimora-chan, I can do this! Dattebayo! "Naruto smiles at her.
And Kimora nods, with an unhappy look on her face.
"Please be careful." Kimora says worriedly.
And the blond nods.
"I will!" Dattebayo!" The blond haired boy says. As he walks forward.
Meanwhile, Kakashi's glaring at the blond for his moment with his daughter, but speaks again.
"So any questions before we start?" Kakashi asks.
And Naruto frowns.
"No… Because I'd just poke holes in your theory, that a teamwork test would be too easy. And just be ignored."
And Kakashi chuckles.
"Good, you're learning… "Oh and one more thing Naruto… I'm going to give you a handicap…" Kakashi adds.
And Kimora felt her worry triple.
'What kind of Handicap is Tou-san going to give Naruto!' Kimora thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Naruto had a look of curiosity on his face.
"Hmm… And what kind of handicap do you have in mind Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asks.
And a dark look appears on Kakashi's face.
"This'll be a Taijutsu only match… So you can't use your shadow clones, Body Swap or Henge, and especially not that Sexy Jutsu you're so proud of." Kakashi states impassively.
And Kimora was now freaking out.
'Oh no, that's not just a handicap, that's completely crippling. Because most of Naruto-kun current tactics, use the Body Swap technique, Henge, and shadow clones.' The white haired girl thought in a panic.
But Naruto just grins. As he enters his fighting stance. And sent a quick thought to his girlfriend.
'Don't worry…I'll get through this.' Naruto thought to his girlfriend.
And Kimora could only give a mental nod back. But her boyfriend's words did nothing to calm her worry.
"Alright then Kakashi-sensei! I'm ready to go, whenever you are! Dattebayo!" Naruto yells excitedly.
'No, you're not.' Kakashi thought to himself, but nods all the same, "If you say so."
And Sasuke looks disinterested, as he watched this showdown play out. Since he already knew how this would go.
'The fool should've just given up.' Sasuke thought to himself.
As for Kimora… She had a completely serious expression on her face, and has fully resigned herself to being a spectator. But she could advise him telepathically. And so that's what she did.
'This test… Is not as simple you as showing off your skill. My father wouldn't make things that easy for you. There must be a hidden meaning… Something that my father's expecting of us, and of you Naruto-kun!' Kimora thought to Naruto, 'But I just can't figure out what that is!'
And Naruto mentally nods.
'Good point… And I don't have a clue, what the hidden goal is either! Dattebayo!' Naruto thought back. Only to have his thoughts interrupted by Kakashi's voice.
"Seeing as you're ready… Then let us begin… Right now!" Kakashi finishes with a shout. As he dashes forward…Far faster than Naruto could react or even see.
And Naruto's eyes widened at his Sensei's incredible speed.
'Shit.' Naruto thought to himself.
And just as Kakashi appeared in front of him, and delivered a powerful right hook to the blond haired boy's face.
Meanwhile a 1.5 km's from Konoha, .
Hatake Sakumo, along with five of his best, and most loyal ANBU. Stood before the gates of a massive clan compound. Sakumo then placed his hand on the gate's lock and channels chakra into it. The seal on the lock glowed blue, and a beam of blue light emits from the seal. And scans Sakumo and his ANBU escort.
And a few moments later the gates open.
" Sakumo then strode into the compound, with his ANBU guards hot on his heels.
And soon the sounds of fighting reaches their ears, before they even reached their destination. And soon, Sakumo and his ANBU arrive at the entrance of the Saiyan's, massive training ground.
And Sakumo, signals for his guards to stop at the entrance. So they were out of the way of the action taking place. And it was an impressive display to say the least.
In the middle of the training field, there was a spiky haired youth of twelve years of age. And he was sparring eight automated, metal training dummies at incredible speeds. And the youth's punches, kicks, dodges and blocks were all lightning fast and expertly executed. With every successful hit, leaving dents in the training dummies. And the training dummies being unable to land even a single hit on him.
The youth's hair and eyes were black and he had a brown monkey tail, that was swishing through the air as he moved. He was wearing a dark blue gi, with a low cut V neck top. He wore a purple sash around his waist, had purple wrist bands on his wrists and was wearing ankle high brown boots.
"Hello Gohan-kun." Sakumo says with a grin.

I'm hoping that's enough of a hint, that there'll be plenty of very powerful characters around.
Z warriors: Is someone who wield pure chakra or elemental chakra, in the way the fighters of the real Dragonball-verse use Ki. These warriors have much, much greater destructive power, and greater versatility.
