(Saiyan Shinobi Opening 1: Teenage Dream by miwa)

Kimi ga egaita mirai ni tatsu boku dake ga kanae rareru

Itsumademo iro aseru koto no nai yume Teenage Dream

The opening starts with Gohan literally appearing in thin air as all the Z-Fighters are literally vanishing and walking past him, much to his confusion before he's grabbed and hoisted by the wrist by none other than Naruto Uzumaki!

Kakashi then body flickers away as the logos for both Naruto and Dragon Ball Z appear with a cross appearing between the two images.

Kowaku naru no wa kimi no hibi ga honki no shouko da ne

Baka ni shinai sa kakko warukute nani ga warui no

Gohan adjusts to life in the Shinobi world as he wakes up, gets ready, brushes his teeth and leaves his home but not before putting the Leaf Village headband across his bicep.

Yume wa sugu ni kanaetai shi mayotteru jikan wa nai shi

Asen naku te ii no ka zettai ni iwanai yo

As Gohan flies across the village he bumps into Naruto Uzumaki who gives him a bright smile, he can't help but return. Naruto then escorts him to his favorite place to eat, Ichiraku Ramen, and the two enjoy nice hot bowls of ramen before there's a call for them to go on a mission.

Osaete mo osae kirenai todoketai omoi ga atta

Nakama tachi no egao ga atta zenbu kagayaite ita

The sun shines bright and wide as Gohan flies in the area before meeting with his teammates; Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake as he happily greets them as they do the same.

Kimi ga egaita mirai ni tatsu boku dake ga kanae rareru

Itsumademo iro aseru koto no nai yume Teenage Dream

Team Seven then shows off their moves as Sasuke fires a FireBall, Sakura uses Inner Sakura, Kakashi uses his Chidori followed by Gohan charging his Masenko as Naruto summons a Shadow Clone as the two combine for an epic combo attack before finally the opening ends with Gohan standing alongside Teams 7, 8, 10 and Guy.


As Naruto made his way to the Leaf Village hospital while carrying Gohan he couldn't help but hear all the comments from the passerby villagers who were spared from injury following Gohan's rude introduction.

"Who the hell is that?"

"You think he's some kind of alien?"

"Where'd he come from?"

"How'd he fall from the sky?"

"Why's he covered in all that blood?"

"He looks like he was in a war!"

"I bet you Naruto had something to do with that."

"Totally, I bet this is one of his tricks!" Were some of the comments Naruto heard, making him narrow his eyes in annoyance.

"Seriously? What's their deal!?" Naruto groaned in annoyance. Honestly, how could Naruto have anything to do with the battered and beaten state of Gohan? It's like they were just looking for any excuse to hate on him. Thankfully, he reached the hospital after a somewhat long walk.

As Naruto and the other ninja entered the facility, Kakashi decided to take Gohan from Naruto's arms.

"I'll take care of it, Naruto. Thanks for carrying him." Kakashi thanked Naruto who smiled.

"Yeah of cou-Hey wait! You're the guy who helps me with grocery shopping sometimes! Haha, you help keep me from getting thrown out of shops!" Naruto smiled in recognition as Kakashi pet Naruto's head before rubbing it affectionlly.

"It's no problem at all. That's what ninjas do, help each other out." Kakashi replied fondly as he felt it was nothing but an honor but to help out the son of his respected long dead master. While he wanted to take in the young boy and raise him as his own, Hiruzen refused as he was sure that he had Naruto all squared away with the essentially necessary for a child. Though this didn't stop Kakashi from helping out and watching the boy from afar to make sure he was accounted for whenever he could.

As Kakashi thought about this, a nurse was called to help carry the unconscious Gohan to a room.

"Okay, I'll handle it from here. You all can go." Kakashi said to the Anbu who nodded before vanishing away in a poof of smoke except for one select Anbu member with spiky brown hair. Behind his mask hid almond shaped eyes.

"Master Kakashi are you sure it's okay to just take in this kid? I mean what if he's an enemy spy? Those wounds he received were definitely those dealt in a battle so this kid must obviously be some sort of warrior." The Anbu known as Tenzo whispered to Kakashi as he was wary of Gohan.

"I'm not one hundred percent trusting of the boy myself but we'll heal him and interrogate him as so. While he's unconscious, I'll have Inoichi scan his memories." Kakashi replied as Tenzo sighed.

"Okay." Was all Tenzo said with before poofing away with his Body Flicker Technique.

After the cleaning up of Gohan was done, he was dressed in a standard hospital gown with his purple GI pants while his torn up GI was disposed of.

The nurse assigned with Gohan then finished her work before opening the door with a huff of annoyance as Naruto kept banging on it.

"Can I come in now!?" Naruto impatiently asked as a tick mark appeared on the nurse's skull.

"Yes! Now if you excuse me I have to tend to other patients who got injured as a result of your little buddy's entrance!" The nurse huffed as Naruto ran in excitedly. It was true, due to the lightning bolt storm, several buildings were destroyed and some people were caught in the falling debris, thus leading to several injured villagers who were being treated as the orange tracksuit wearing ninja argued with the medical expert.

As Naruto walked in, he noticed how Gohan's forehead was covered in bandages while his left arm was cast in a sling. However what stood out to the young blond the most was how there were tears in his eyes as they cascaded down his face.

"He's crying? What's wrong?" Naruto curiously inquired. Almost as if his question was heard, Gohan's voice slightly got higher.

"Father….I'm…so sorry…." Gohan muttered as Naruto's eyes widened before he looked at Gohan with pure sympathy.

"He must be away from his parents….Poor dude might be a little homesick." Naruto frowned before Kakashi walked in along with some other people, one of which had long blonde hair while the other had spiky, pineapple styled hair with several scars on his face.

"Who're these guys?" Naruto asked as Kakashi walked towards Naruto.

"Thanks for looking after him Naruto but we'll take over from here." Kakashi said to the Academy student who looked skeptical.

"But-"Naruto tried to argue as Kakashi put a hand on Naruto's head.

"It'll be okay. Plus you've done all you can do so just leave the rest to us. We'll come out and get you when we're done." Kakashi reassured the blonde who huffed.

"Fine." Naruto grumbled before reluctantly leaving the room as the men chuckled at his reaction.

"Just like Kushina…" Kakashi laughed to himself before donning a serious expression.

"Now Inoichi, if it's no problem, we'd like for you to scan this boy's mind and see who he actually is." Kakashi said to the blonde who nodded in understanding.

"Right." Inoichi said before making a couple of handsigns.

"Psycho Mind Transmission!" Inoichi yelled before his hand touched the base of Gohan's forehead. In a flash he was suddenly within Gohan's mindscape.

"Alright…now to find out who this kid really is!" Inoichi said before floating around Gohan's mindscape before coming to where his brain was. As he touched Gohan's cranium he was suddenly exposed to one memory.


It was a bright and sunny day when Goku was happily flying in the air on top of his favorite mode of transportation, the Flying Nimbus. Inoichi was puzzled at the display.

"A man on top of a flying cumulus cloud? And he wears an outfit similar to Naruto's….O…kay?" Inoichi stammered before noticing a boy of around four years of age. When the veteran Shinobi got a good look at his facial features, he was definitely the boy whose mind he was observing.

"This must be the boy when he was younger. And this man must be his father. The resemblance is uncanny." Inoichi observed.

Goku laughed as he picked up Gohan and put him on top of his shoulder and spun both of them in the air several times as both were definitely enjoying the cloudy ride. As this went on for several more minutes, the cloud then came to a stop as two touched the forest floor.

"Haha wasn't that fun Gohan!?" Goku laughed with his son who grinned excitedly.

"Yeah it really was, daddy!" Gohan giggled as his hands went to his head. On top was a red hat with a peculiar looking ball on top of it, a Dragon Ball, a magical orb that could gather any wish one desired upon gathering all seven.

"I really love this hat and how you gave me this Dragon Ball!" Gohan smiled as Goku pat his son's back.

"…..Dragon…..Ball?" Inoichi asked amazed at the peculiar name of the item as the scene continued.

"Of course I did! This belonged to my grandpa and I entrusted it to you as a gift for your birthday because I know you'll take good care of it, right?" Goku grinned as Gohan returned the grin.

"Yes daddy!" Gohan laughed as Goku pat his head in pride.

"Good boy! Now, let's get home before your mom worries!" Goku said as Gohan jumped on Goku's back in excitement.

"Okay so from what I could gather, this boy's name is Gohan. Now if I could only find out how he just fell from the sky…." Inoichi thought before deciding to observe another memory in order to ascertain the answers he desired.

The scene changed to the middle of a field where Goku was lying bruised and beaten as a man with long, spiky black hair was standing over the injured Saiyan. Close by stood the Namekian Piccolo. All three men stared in shock as their gaze was turned to an open crater in the ground.

"And just who is this mysterious man standing over Gohan's dad? What type of armor is that he's wearing? And is that a slug man? Just what the hell is going on here? And where is Gohan?" Inoichi nearly demanded. And as if his question was being heard, he turned to see Gohan, still the same age as he was in the first memory. Although unlike last time, his hat was nowhere in sight and he looked extremely angry.

"Is this some sort of battle?" Inoichi pondered as he noticed the state of all three men, Piccolo was covered in dirt and scratches along with Goku while the mysterious man's armor was broken on the side as blood leaked from his injured shoulder. As these thoughts swarmed in Inoichi's head he remembered how Gohan was there and instantly he was slightly frozen in fear for Gohan's concern. He couldn't have been any older than four years old.

"What on earth is Gohan doing there? This obviously isn't a place meant for children!" Inoichi thought as Raditz decided to speak up.

"I-it's you! I don't believe it!" Raditz stammered at shock with how such a small child could break through Raditz's space pod with ease.

"Hey Goku, look over by the crater. It's your son!" Piccolo exclaimed as Goku's eyes nearly bulged out in horror at the sight of his son. He couldn't be here. There was no way he could defend himself if Raditz came after him.

"It…can't be…." Raditz muttered softly as he got his foot off of Goku's chest as Goku tried bringing his head up with what little strength he had.

"G-Gohan….Daddy can't get up right now. Run away from here…Run away! Run now!" Goku tried commanding his son. If he, the earth's strongest warrior, couldn't defeat the evil Raditz, what hope did his son with no training could ever hope to succeed?

All men in the memory stared with baited eyes as Gohan kept sniffling while the scouter on Raditz's eyes kept blinking and blinking.

"Power level 370!? Impossible for a kid! And…it's still going up!" Raditz choked in horror as a peculiar aura surrounded the toddler.

"What on earth is this!?" Inoichi could barely speak as the aura around Gohan got bigger and bigger until it surrounded him completely and covered him.

"Leave…my….dad….ALONE!" Gohan yelled before he jumped off and flew through the air hitting Raditz straight in his chest. Everyoen, Inoichi included could only watch with mouths open agape. If it were anyone else, such an attack would've killed the other person instantly.

"T-to….have such power at a young age! It's unprecedented! Even greater than the Three Legendary Sannin when they were in the Academy….." Inoichi gasped out as he could barely believe what he saw. It was such a surprise that he could barely steel himself to observe the next memory.

The scene changed to a different field where Gohan was seen sobbing.

"Gohan's crying? But over what?" Inoichi asked before the answer was given to him in the form of Piccolo who was lying next to him with his GI ripped with the green man covered in purple blood.

"It looks as if he's about to die…." Inoichi observed as Gohan was pushing and holding a tight grip on Piccolo.

"You're like….the son….I never….had…." Piccolo rasped out as tears protruded from his eyes in happiness. He was a demon who cared for no one and no one cared for him. But in Gohan's young naïve eyes, he was a person who deserved a second chance. He was just like his father.

"No….please! Mr. Piccolo…." Gohan cried as he was literally begging for Piccolo to cling onto life.

"G-goodbye my friend….Thank you…" Piccolo smiled as he left the world of the living, happy to know at least one person cared for him.

"P-Piccolo…Mister Piccolo…..No….NO!" Gohan yelled as he screamed to the heavens, almost as if begging for the gods above to give back the life of his precious master.

"That poor child….He looks to be no older than five years old here…Already having to bury his master…." Inoichi said in sympathy as he saw children even younger than Gohan lose their friends and family members. Sometimes they were slaughtered right in front of them.

Gohan then glared straight at the man above him who was laughing at Gohan's misery and sadness. He fixed him with a glare even fiercer than one Inoichi saw against Raditz.

"Huh? Alright, let's go!" Nappa exclaimed amusingly as that damn Namekian got in his way of killing the little snot. This time he wouldn't miss!

"Masenko!" Gohan yelled as he brought his hands to his forehead. What got Inoichi's attention were the lightning bolts emitting from his attack.

"What is that? It looks to be a variant of Chidori? But how?" Inoichi contemplated before a voice cut him off.

"Nappa watch out! This one is much more powerful than he appears!" Vegeta exclaimed to get his comrade's attention as Nappa ignored him.

"Here I come boy!" Nappa roared as Gohan fired his attack. The blast fired towards Nappa who flung it away with what looked to be like with relative difficulty as Inoichi was left speechless at a display.

"H-how could a mere child form anything that powerful?" Inoichi could barely say as he continued searching for another memory before he scanned another memory.

In this memory, the sky above was green as Inoichi realized that he was in the air this time.

"How on earth?" Inoichi didn't even have time to consider as he noticed how Gohan, clad in a different hairstyle with armor the same as he saw two memories ago, glared at a peculiar purple and white lizard-like creature with horns resembling those of an Ox.

"How is Gohan even flying?" Inoichi asked as Gohan could barely get the words out of his mouth as he was extremely angry.

Gohan clenched his fists in frustration how yet another of his friends was hurt because he was too defenseless to help. How long would he remain a liability to his friends!? How much longer!?

"Y-You…ANIMAL!" Gohan yelled with pure, unadulterated rage in his voice before kicking Frieza straight in the head with a speed, no one around could've ever seen coming.

"Not even Lord Fourth could've been that fast!" Inoichi stared even more in shock as Gohan followed up with several punches to Frieza's guts before dealing several kicks straight into the Frost demon's ribs and sternum before Gohan dealt a final kick straight to Frieza's chest as he blasted Frieza deep into the ground below. Before the tyrannical overlord could catch a breath he was suddenly bombarded with blast after blast from the angry five year old.

"Such strength! No child from my recollection has been said to have had as much strength at such a young age other than Itachi Uchiha!" Inoichi could barely breathe out as Gohan continued roaring in anger as he shot blast after blast at Frieza. Gohan then raised his hands up to his air before leveling it with one hand.

"Masenko-Ha!" Gohan roared as he slammed the energy beam straight down at the evil bastard. He nearly killed Krillin and he would make sure, the bastard got his just desserts.

"No….not even Itachi could be that powerful at such young of an age….To be a prodigy even higher than Itachi was…." Inoichi barely said as he scanned another memory.

The memory changed to where an older Gohan was shown with the other Z-Warriors around him but what shocked Inoichi the most was the sight of the revived Piccolo who he thought he saw died.

"He's back? But…how? Reanimation Jutsu somehow?" Inoichi raised an eyebrow before he was nearly striked with an electric bolt. Before he could say a word, he noticed how Gohan's hair was blonde instead of black and all of it except for a single bang stood up.

"How is his hair different? What's going on?" Inoichi asked with a feeling that told him that he'd get he answers he desired in this select memory.

"You don't scare me Cell! Gohan glared at Cell before a smirk played on his features, making Cell return the facial gesture.

"Hmph, really?" Cell asked bemused. With the powers he obtained from his near death experience, this little pain in his ass would only be a former one.

"That's right! One thing I learned from my father was to never give up even when the odds are stacked against you! If you're as powerful you say you are than bring it on!" Gohan raised a fist as Cell lost his smile while he stared blankly at the half-breed.

"Well, what're you waiting for!?" Gohan demanded as Cell's expression changed to blank to one of anger at being challenged.

"You have a lot to learn boy. I'll make sure you end up just like Goku!" Cell declared and before Inoichi could say anything the memory changed by itself.

This time Inoichi beared witness to a beam struggle between Gohan and Cell as the two walked towards each other, determined to end this final battle.

"J-just how could two people have this much power? This power is…..!" Inoichi nearly fell back in awe of the power as it nearly knocked him off his feet.

"It's over Cell! Your reign ends here! Goodbye!" Gohan yelled as the beam slowly enveloped Cell who struggled in vein.

"No! I refuse to let it end here! I am Cell! Dr. Gero's ultimate creation! I won't lose to some snot-nosed toddler!" Cell yelled before his second wind suddenly ignited as the beam began to grow again before the two beams were equal.

"Say hi to your daddy for me!" Cell yelled.

"Not a chance! Good always triumphs over evil!" Gohan spat as the two beams continued their power collision before they slowly got bigger and bigger.

The two warriors glared at each other as they intended on finishing this fight.

"Your terror will end today!/I'll see you in hell!" Gohan and Cell yelled simultaneously before their Kamehamehas got bigger and bigger before they slowly erupted as a dome of energy surrounded the two. Both fighters could say nothing before their beams were disintegrating as the two were suddenly whisked away along with their beams.

"W-what the!?" Cell gasped in horror as Gohan was equally horrified.

"How could such a battle cause this?" Inoichi asked before the light died down around the two warriors, ending the memory, leaving Inoichi in pure awe at the memories he saw.

"To think….a mere kid around the same age as Ino….being so strong….." Inoichi shook his head in disbelief before ending the jutsu and coming back into the real world.


The first thing Kakashi and Shikaku noticed was the troubled expression on Inoichi's expression, so much so that he was sweating intensely.

"Inoichi? What happened?" The third hokage of the Leaf Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked as he walked towards the three jonin. Thankfully with the disturbance of Gohan, he was able to get out of paperwork. At least for a little while, anyways….But he was sure he'd have more once the day was over with.

"The boy's name is Son Gohan…he's a warrior…..a very strong one at that. He's definitely stronger than anyone in his age group." Inoichi explained to the three men nearby as Shikaku raised an eyebrow.

"He's that strong?" Shikaku pondered as Inoichi nodded.

"Not only that but it appears as if he's not from this world." Inoichi continued as Hiruzen put a hand to his chin.

"Explain." Hiruzen commanded.

"During his latest memory, he was fighting with some being called 'Cell' and the two were in some sort of beam battle of sorts. The battle was so intense it caused what looked to be some sort of….ripple effect sending Gohan from his world to ours." Inoichi finished his explanation as the other three men in the room looked at the blonde shinobi with looks of utter shock.

"I see….Another world, huh? That's definitely interesting…" Hiruzen muttered as he appeared deep in thought.

"Do you believe he's an extraterrestrial of some kind?" Shikaku questioned.

"I wouldn't assume so. I mean he looks no different than the rest of us. Although according to the nurse who cleaned him up and dressed his wounds, there was no sign of a forehead protector on him so he's not a nose but he's a fighter of some kind." Kakashi explained as Hiruzen sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose in slight frustration. Honestly, was it too much to have a peaceful life?

"I should point this out, he appears to fight on the side of good so Gohan must have some sort of justice just like us." Inoichi pointed out as Hiruzen, Kakashi and Shikaku slightly relaxed in their expressions.

"So he's not evil. That makes things the more better." Hiruzen said before turning to the three Shinobi.

"I thank all of you for your help today but I'll handle things from here. You're all dismissed." Hiruzen said to the Shinobi who still looked a bit skeptical.

"A-are you sure, Lord Hokage?" Shikaku asked.

"Positive." Hiruzen replied before the three men reluctantly nodded before disappearing in a poof of smoke.

"Son Gohan, huh?" Hiruzen asked while gazing at the body of the unconscious body of the strange child before going outside where he was bombarded with questions from one impatient Naruto Uzumaki.


It would be several, several hours later when Gohan would later awake not to a world of Z-Fighters but rather…a land of Ninja…..

As Gohan tiredly opened his onyx colored eyes, the first thing that came to mind was his recollection of the events prior to now.

"Dad! Mister Piccolo!" Gohan yelled in a cold sweat before exhaling.

"Just…what happened? Why am I in a hospital gown? Am I in the hospital? If so, where're Vegeta and everyone?" Gohan asked himself before attempting to feel the Ki signatures of all his friends before coming to a startling discovery.

"I can't feel anyone! What the heck's going on? Did they all die? Wait shouldn't I be dead?" Gohan wondered before the pain from his injuries came back full force as he grunted in pain. It was then he realized that bizarre effect that happened during the Kamehameha clash with Cell.

"Just…what…the heck…is going on?" Gohan moaned before two people walked into his room. One of which was an old man with a red kimono under a set of white robes with a red hat. Gohan had a feeling this man was important in some way given his appearance. To the side of him was a boy roughly around his age with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. Gohan commented to himself how much of a Super Saiyan he looked like along with an orange and blue tracksuit with a huge white collar and blue sandals. He had a goofy grin which instantly reminded the half-saiyan of his father. Why? He couldn't put his finger on it. The boy was then snapped from his thoughts as the elderly man cleared his throat.

"Hello there. My name is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village." Hiruzen greeted the young boy who nearly raised an eyebrow at the old man before his manners kicked in.

"Hello sir. My name is Son Gohan and I'm sorry but I don't know what a Hokage is. Could you please tell me what that is?" Gohan politely asked as Hiruzen and Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"The Hokage is the leader of the village! Did ya hit your head on a rock or something dude?" Naruto rudely asked as Hiruzen glared at Naruto for his impoliteness.

"Naruto!" Hiruzen glared as Gohan couldn't help but laugh at the kid. It was nearly like being with Goku.

"You kind of remind me of-"Gohan was about to comment with amusement before more pressing matters came to mind such as finding out where he was.

"Um, Mister Hiruzen, not to be rude but could you tell me where I am?" Gohan asked the Hokage.

"You're in Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Hiruzen replied as Gohan raised an eyebrow at the name of his current location.

"Konohagakure? I'm sorry but that doesn't ring a bell?" Gohan said in a voice of pure confusion as Hiruzen raised an eyebrow.

"So you're not familiar with the Five Great Nations?" Hiruzen inquired as Gohan's look of confusion never left his features. In fact it widened.

"No….I'm not….." Gohan said as Naruto raised his own eyebrow.

"How could this guy not be aware of the Leaf Village or any of the other ones? He's definitely stronger than a civilian though….Where did he come from?" Naruto asked as Hiruzen decided to speak up.

"If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?" Hiruzen asked.

"I'm from Mount Paozu." Gohan answered as Hiruzen stared at Gohan pensively as he had never heard of such a place from all the time he had been around the world.

"I see….Well I'm sorry to say but I've heard of no such place in all my travels around the globe. However this may sound bizarre to you but we were able to look through your memories and we discovered….you're not from this world….." Hiruzen explained as Gohan stared at the old man in utter disbelief.

"W-what!? How could you do that!? And what do you mean I'm not from this world! What's going on!?" Gohan asked as he could barely breathe.

"One of our forces was able to scan through your head for details of your origin and we were able to discover our worlds are particularly different….According to them, you were in a fight with someone before you abrubtly ended up in our world." Hiruzen attempted to reason with the boy not even one hundred percent believing the words he was saying.

Gohan continued breathing heavily as he attempted to process this before he remembered his fight with Cell and the lasting effect on it, the lasting effect making him sigh sadly. Could that distortion during his clash with Cell possibly have sent him somewhere else? If so….was he gone from his world forever? Maybe….his father and his friends could try to bring him back with the Dragon Balls? Wait, definitely! That had to work!

"Seeing as you're not in your home setting, I'd like to say however that I'm very sorry for your current plight. We'll be sure to figure something out for you in the meantime while I promise to find a way to send you back to your home. Although, if you don't mind me asking, would you happen to be a warrior of some kind? I ask that because your injuries were definitely those inflicted in a battle?" Hiruzen asked as Gohan nodded.

"Yeah I am. I got those injuries from my fight against Cell. Although…" Gohan explained before he turned his head to the side in slight sadness as Naruto and Hiruzen both inquired about who this "Cell" was. Hiruzen then noticed the look in his eyes was a look he hadn't seen even in the most experienced of ninja. The pain in his eyes were the same pain Kakashi used to have as a child.

"What on earth could have happened to this child?" Hiruzen asked to himself.

"Cell? Huh….." Naruto crossed his arms as Gohan decided to ask a pressing question in his head to Hiruzen.

"Mister Hiruzen, if you don't mind me asking, what do you all do here in the Leaf Village? And how could you see my memories?" Gohan asked as Hiruzen smiled at Gohan's politeness.

"Such manners…He's definitely more well-mannered than most kids his age." Hiruzen thought smiling before deciding to answer his question.

"In the Leaf Village, our peace and stability are maintained thanks to our various ninja. Memory scanning is one of the abilities select people can actually do." Hiruzen explained as Gohan skeptically raised an eyebrow.

"Ninja?" Gohan asked as he remembered how his father actually battled the ninja Murasaki as a boy. From the way Goku described it, he defeated the ninja in a pretty humiliating way with his trusty power pole.

"Correct, and your previously injured state made me falsely assume you were in a ninja who was in a fierce battle of some kind. Our ninja are assigned in different ranks, Jonin is the highest slate with Chunin following slowly after which Genin is at the dead bottom. The boy right beside me is a Ninja Academy student and in the Ninja Academy is where students study to become ninja. Now I would ask if you were personally interested in becoming one but with your broken arm, it'll obviously take some time to heal." Hiruzen said as Gohan's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Wait, that's it!" Gohan exclaimed as both men gazed at him in confusion.

"What's it?" Naruto and Hiruzen asked simultaneously before reaching into the pocket of his torn up GI pants and getting out a peculiar looking green colored bean. Thank goodness he decided to keep one in his pocket after retrieving them from the Cell Jrs. Although he only had one since he had to feed the injured Z-Fighters injured from fighting the little demonic munchkins.

"What is that? Some sort of Lima bean?" Naruto narrowed his eyes as Gohan smiled.

"No! It's a Senzu bean." Gohan explained as Naruto and Hiruzen became even more puzzled.

"Senzu bean?" Both males asked as Gohan's smile widened.

"Yep! It heals all your injuries." Gohan further explained before downing the magical seed. Naruto and Hiruzen watched intensely before all the wounds left his face along with his arm snapping back into place. He celebrated his rejuvenation by jumping out of his bed and appearing right in front of the bewildered Naruto and Hiruzen.

"Okay back to one hundred percent!" Gohan happily exclaimed in a voice as cheerful as his father's. Naruto and Hiruzen couldn't believe their eyes.

"H-holy crap, dude! That bean just made you all better!" Naruto stammered out with comically blank eyes as Hiruzen's reaction was slightly mellower.

"U-unreal! If we had something like that in our medical corps, it would most certainly be a huge asset to us! Have you any more of those beans, Gohan?" Hiruzen asked Gohan who frowned.

"Sorry but that was the last one. All of them are made in a place called Korin's tower. He's the one who grows them." Gohan explained as Hiruzen sighed.

"I…had a feeling you'd say something like that….And I see….." Hiruzen sighed despondently as Naruto couldn't believe what he saw.

"Earlier today this guy could've been on his death bed and thanks to some strange bean he's okay!? Even better!? What the frick man!?" Naruto thought in amazement as his thoughts continued, "This seems like some crap you'd read in a damn manga!"

After retaining his composure, Hiruzen decided to speak up once more.

"I don't want to pressure you though. If you wouldn't want to study in the Academy, I could arrange for you to work a job with one of our civilians in exchange for you earning some money. And before then, I'll even give you some money to live off on while everything's being arranged for you, Gohan." Hiruzen suggested to the hybrid who put a hand to his chin in thought.

"Maybe….this is a second chance. I nearly let my own world be destroyed because of my naivety and arrogance. But perhaps….I can change and learn things from this world before returning to my own!" Gohan thought before making his mind.

"Okay Mister Hiruzen, I'll study at this 'Ninja Academy' and become a ninja! That way I can repay my favor. After all you all saved my life so I should probably find some way to return the favor, right?" Gohan grinned a grin reminiscent of his father as the elderly man returned the grin with one of his own.

"Haha, glad to hear it! And I'll arrange for you to live with this boy right next to me. His name is Naruto Uzumaki and he's a student at the ninja academy as I previously said. He's the one who brought you here to this hospital so after that perhaps you two can become roommates of some sort." Hiruzen smiled as the two boys smiled at each other.

"So you really brought me here. Thank you for that, Naruto. I'm Son Gohan." Gohan smiled as he held his hand out for a handshake before Naruto whole-heartedly accepted it. He didn't even know Naruto for five seconds yet he took a huge liking to the blonde. His goofy, kind-hearted attitude, his unique charisma and bright, sunny personality was absolutely just like the man he admired and respected the most in the world, his father.

"Of course! I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto exclaimed in a particularly happy mood. It had been the first time any person his age had ever done this to him.

As the two boys held hands, they instantly felt a strong form of kinship between the two evaporate. Right then and there, something told the boys that they'd always be close, no matter what.

"Haha, it seems Gohan's arrival here will be good for us all." Hiruzen laughed to himself as he was happy for Naruto gaining a potential new friend before getting their attention.

"Although, the first thing you boys should probably do is get Gohan a spare change of clothes. His top was ripped while his pants are barely holding together." Hiruzen suggested as Gohan smiled.

"Haha it's fine! I've already got a solution!" Gohan said before pulling out a peculiar looking tray.

"What is that?" Naruto asked before raising an eyebrow as Gohan opened the container to seeing a couple of bizarre looking devices.

"They're called Capsules." Gohan replied as Naruto and Hiruzen's raised eyebrows widened for the hundredth time that day.

"Capsules?" Both males asked.

"Yeah, you can seal anything in there, clothes, food, you name it." Gohan explained before coming to a particular one and pressing the top on it before throwing it to the side causing a ball of smoke to come, making Naruto and Hiruzen cough as Gohan was used to the smoke.

The smoke cleared revealing a bag of sorts as Gohan opened the bag and looked through a couple of outfits before making a decision. He dressed himself in a long sleeved blue t-shirt with white shorts and black sneakers and white socks.

"Thank goodness for Bulma!" Gohan grinned as Naruto and Hiruzen stared puzzled at the half breed.

"Who's Bulma?" Naruto bluntly asked as Gohan laughed at Naruto's manner of speaking. Yep, he was definitely like his dad.

"Bulma's a genius who's really handy with these. The business she's with practically lives off of these." Gohan explained as the two looked at the peaceful fighter with eyes of blatant disbelief.

"…This world of yours sure is eccentric….Here we seal our essential items in scrolls." Hiruzen said as Gohan looked at the former professor with intrigue.

"Oh yeah? That's reall-"Gohan tried to say before a huge grumbling noise cut him off.

"What was that!?" Naruto asked in amazement as a blushing Gohan held his stomach.

"My stomach….Hehe…I haven't eaten since this morning…" Gohan admitted in embarrassment as Hiruzen heartily laughed at Gohan's "plight".

"Well you were out since this morning and it is evening time now so I suppose you'd be a bit famished. Naruto, why don't you take him to your favorite place to eat? Gohan, come by my office and I'll give you a stipend to sustain you for the rest of the month." Hiruzen suggested smiling as Naruto grinned excitedly.

"Heck yeah! C'mon Gohan, I'll take you to Ichiraku!" Naruto grinned.

"Ichiraku?" Gohan could barely ask before he was dragged out by a grinning Naruto.

"Hey! Slow down!" The son of Goku yelped as Hiruzen laughed at the two.

"Son Gohan….Let's see where your life as a ninja takes you…" Hiruzen thought as he smiled at the two from behind.


"It's only like the best ramen place ever!" Naruto giggled excitedly as he explained his personal slice of heaven to the Z-Fighter while Gohan was equally excited to get food into his grumbling stomach.

"Haha, I'll take your word for it!" Gohan said as he observed the villages and structures around him. When he looked around, this world was different from all of the skyscrapers and high buildings and cars he was experienced too. This world was definitely designed in a date that preceded his world to a civilization that resembled those he read about that were centuries behind his.

Gohan couldn't help but notice all of the looks he received. While some of them were of amazement and curiosity of him, the vast majority of them were filled with anger and distrust. He was immediately reminded of the looks the other Z-Fighters often shot Vegeta when he was in the same vicinity as them.

"I wonder what's up with them?" The son of Goku asked Naruto who rubbed his head sheepishly.

"Your entrance caused a bunch of lightning bolts to strike down and some people got injured because of that." Naruto explained to the half-breed who immediately donned a guilty look.

"Wait really? I can't believe it…All because of me?" Gohan frowned as Naruto pat Gohan's shoulder encouragingly.

"Don't worry about it, I know it wasn't your fault!" Naruto grinned as Gohan couldn't help but smile back. His smiles were contagious like his father's.

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Naruto." Gohan thanked the future ninja who grinned.

"Hey, we're here!" Naruto said before the two came across a small shack with the name "Ichiraku Ramen" on it. The two then entered the shop as the smell of ramen broth rafted through the noses of the two young boys.

"This smells really good!" Gohan thought in excitement of eating Naruto's delicious food.

"Old Man, hey!" Naruto greeted before two people came from behind the kitchen where the ramen was being cooked to behind the counter where Gohan and Naruto were. The two were clad in matching white kitchen robes with the same color hats. Although one of them was a middle aged looking man while the other was a female with long brown hair, definitely older than Gohan and Naruto.

"Ah, Naruto! Good of you to be here!" Teuchi smiled in acknowledgement of the energetic blonde before noticing his new campanion next to him.

"And who might this be?" Teuchi inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"This is Gohan and he's new here!" Naruto explained as Gohan nodded deciding to introduce himself.

"They must not've seen his arrival in the Village" Naruto also thought.

"A pleasure to meet you both, my name is Son Gohan." Gohan introduced himself politely while bowing as the older ramen worker couldn't help but smile at Gohan's manners.

"What a well-mannered child. Heh and he looks to be no older than Naruto." Teuchi smiled before deciding to introduce himself as well.

"A pleasure to meet you Gohan. I am Teuchi Ichiraku, the owner of this restaurant while this is my daughter Ayame." Teuchi introduced back while gesturing to his daughter.

"Well hello there, Gohan! Hehe, you're just as adorable as Naruto is!" Ayame beamed as both boys blushed at the older woman's comment.

"T-thank you…." Gohan shyly blushed.

"Now will it be the usual, Naruto?" Teuchi asked as Naruto grinned eagerly.

"Yep! And get the same for Gohan too! Is Miso Ramen with pork okay for ya?" Naruto asked the half-saiyan who shrugged his shoulders.

"Sure." Gohan answered as long as he would be able to get anything into his stomach.

As Teuchi and Ayame prepared their soup, Gohan looked around the shop.

"So do they have ramen like this in your world, Gohan?" The curious orange wearer asked as Gohan stopped his observation of the shop.

"You mean ramen shops? Well yeah of course." Gohan answered before Ayame came out with two steaming bowls of Miso Ramen in hand.

"Thanks for waiting! Here're your ramens. With extra pork for you, Gohan." Ayame winked as Gohan's blush returned.

"T-thanks Miss Ayame." Gohan shyly answered as Ayame had to literally restrain herself from glomping him.

"It's no problem! Such a well-mannered cutie pie." Ayame giggled to herself as Gohan's mouth was unconsciously watering at the sight of the soup before him. However, before anyone could say anything, Gohan instantly devoured the meal.

"Ah, that was nice!" Gohan smiled as Ayame and Naruto stared bug-eyed at Gohan.

"More please!" Gohan politely requested as Ayame could barely make out any words.

"U-um…sure?" Ayame asked before going back to the kitchen to fulfil Gohan's request.

"Dude, how'd you do that? How'd you eat so fast?" Naruto asked as Gohan stared back nonchalantly.

"I just love eating." Gohan shrugged before the second bowl of ramen was presented to him.

"Thanks!" Gohan thanked before devouring the whole bowl in less than five seconds yet again.

"More please!" Gohan requested before he was given another bowl. Before anyone knew anything, Gohan had stacked over twenty bowls, definitely beating Naruto's record along with a certain Akimichi.

"W-where did he put it all?" Ayame muttered while Teuchi looked mightily happy with Gohan's state of paradise.

"Haha, I take it you enjoyed your meal, boy?" Teuchi amusingly asked as Gohan gave a food grin definitely reminiscent of Goku.

"Yes sir!" Gohan exclaimed with a now full stomach.

"H-how is this guy not fat?" Naruto stammered as Gohan rubbed his satisfied belly with pure bliss. This kid had eaten over twenty bowls while he only ate five. Was he trying to screw up his perfect ramen eating record?

"Thanks for the food!" Gohan happily thanked before belching slightly.

"Oops, excuse me." Gohan embarrassingly apologized as Naruto's eyes went wide with horror. How would he pay for this meal when he blew over half of his living expenses for the month for prank equipment? Almost as if sensing the prankster's thoughts, Teuchi raised a hand.

"Don't worry about it Naruto, consider it on the house for your new friend." Teuchi smiled as his worried were now extinguished.

"Really? Thanks old man!" Naruto exclaimed before glomping Teuchi who pat his head affectionally as he was like the son he never had.

"Haha, of course, kid." Teuchi laughed as Naruto sat back down.

"Yeah thank you for the food, Mr. Teuchi, Miss Ayame." Gohan politely bowed as the two smiled back at Gohan.

"Haha, you're welcome to come back anytime!" Ayame giggled.

"I'll keep that in mind." Gohan smiled before Naruto pat his shoulder.

"Hey Gohan, why don't I give you a quick tour of the village?" Naruto suggested as Gohan gave an intrigued look.

"Okay, let's do it." Gohan replied before the two left the ramen shop. Naruto then gave the son of Goku a very long tour around the Leaf Village as he showed him the ins and outs of the place, showing him where the different shops and restaurants were along with the park, the library, hot springs and other places. However, the last of their stops was the Hokage monument.

"And this is where the Great Stone Faces are." Naruto said as Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"Huh...four of them, huh?" Gohan observed before Naruto grabbed Gohan's hand.

"C'mon, let's go above!" Naruto said before the two ran to where the two were at the top of the village.

"That's where you fell from." Naruto explained pointing at the crater Gohan caused as Gohan looked at it in amazement.

"Wow…." Was all Gohan could say before his attention was turned to Naruto who looked down at the village with a happy smile.

As Gohan walked to where Naruto was, he was instantly impressed with the view from down below.

"Wow! The view up here is amazing. You can see everything!" Gohan noticed as Naruto grinned excitedly.

"Right!? I come up here every time I have a bad day…." Naruto replied with a nostalgic look in his eyes. It was up here where he decided to become Hokage, a goal that would not only get him power but earn the acceptance and respect of everyone in the village.

Naruto then decided to turn his head to where Gohan was.

"Why don't we go by my place now? It is getting pretty late." Naruto suggested as Gohan agreed. With everything he's experienced in this one day, he was pretty winded.

"Yeah, let's do it." Gohan agreed before the two made their way to where Naruto lived, an apartment in a red building.

As Naruto opened the door, he immediately turned to Gohan.

"Welcome to casa de Naruto!" Naruto goofily grinned as Gohan observed how small the compartment was but it looked relatively comfortable. Although his mother's manners kicked in from commenting on how small it was.

"Looks pretty cozy." Gohan commented before Naruto showed him around the living quarters where the kitchen and bathroom were.

"And here's my room. Thankfully I have a sleeping bag for ya to sleep in." Naruto said as he went in his closet before handing Gohan a green sleeping bag.

"Thanks so much for all this Naruto. I really appreciate it." Gohan gratefully thanked the jokester who smiled.

"Haha no problem! Besides I can't let you just sleep in the street, right!?" Naruto playfully asked as the two boys shared a round of laughter together. They hadn't even known each other for a whole day yet they were already well-acquainted with each other. Although they didn't care to ask why as the bond between them was worth it.

"Thanks again, Naruto. You're a true friend." Gohan smiled as Naruto's eyes went wide with shock. It had been the first time anyone had really referred to him as a friend. While he hung out with Choji, Shikamaru and Kiba, it had been mainly because they shared a similar agenda of pranking and pissing off Iruka but they were more so acquaintances and allies rather friends.

"Friends? You really mean that?" Naruto turned around only to see Gohan asleep.

"Totally!" Gohan grinned as Naruto's mind wondered to when Gohan mentioned his father.

"So Gohan...you mentioned your dad in your sleep...what's he like?" Naruto asked, putting on his standard set of pajamas as Gohan smiled as he got changed into spare pajamas that Naruto had given him.

"My father...is the greatest man I know. He's a bit silly and light-hearted but he has a heart of gold and will help anybody at the drop of a dime. He's my guardian angel." Gohan smiled with closed eyes as Naruto couldn't help but be amazed at how Goku sounded.

"Wow...he really sounds awesome..." Naruto muttered, thinking of how he wished he knew who his own dad was.

"Yeah...he was..." Gohan softly smiled before drifting off into a deep slumber.

"I...have a feeling I'm really gonna like this world..." Gohan said before he was out.


And that's the second chapter done for you all! Haha a lot happened here; Gohan found out he's in another world and has decided to become a ninja since he sees this as a second chance of sorts for himself! Not to mention, he's started an unbreakable new bond with the unpredictable Naruto Uzumaki! ;) Next chapter he starts the ninja academy and meets up with the other rookie graduates so definitely look forward to that as that'll definitely be enjoyable! XD

I also hope you enjoyed that I let Kakashi have a little more of an impact in Naruto's life than he did in canon! Because it ALWAYS bugged the hell out of me why he didn't help Naruto more out as a child -_-
