First of all, I'd like to start this chapter off by saying "HOLY CRAP!" 50+ reviews by only the THIRD chapter!? Thank you guys SO MUCH for enjoying this story!

Now let the chapter officially begin and kindly remember I have NO rights to Naruto or Dragon Ball Z ^_^

Winding the clock back a spell…..

"What the hell do you mean it's beyond your power!?" An irate Piccolo yelled to the looming dragon summoned above Kami's lookout.

After the conclusion of the battle with Cell, the Z-Fighters had gathered together at the long winding tower above in order to reverse all of the damage Cell caused, and it had been mostly achieved. While they intended to revive their dead friends, Goku was unable to come back due to previously being revived with the Earth's Dragon Balls once before. However, what was most shocking to everyone was how it was revealed that Gohan wasn't dead. When they attempted to bring Gohan back to them, Shenron was unable to locate Gohan's current whereabouts.

"It is well beyond as I have previously said. I cannot locate the one named Son Gohan." Shenron replied in his deep, gravelly voice, much to the disbelief of others.

"It….can't be…." Krillin barely gasped out.

"Gohan…." The newly revived Trunks sadly stammered at the loss of his master. Was this the fate of his master in every single timeline? To be swept away from his home without ever coming home?

While some were saddened over the news of the lost half-saiyan, others were pissed off.

"What the hell do you mean you can't locate my baby!? You're the eternal dragon so get off your ass and find my baby!" A pissed off and emotional Chichi yelled as tears streamed down her eyes. Today was not her day. First she lost her husband again and now her baby was lost with no way to return home.

Meanwhile in other world, Goku looked down in shame as tears came to his eyes. It had all been his fault. His plan for his son to defeat Cell nearly failed and nearly cost not only the life of his son but the planet as a whole. If only he had been more responsible.

"Damn it!" Goku growled as he punched a random cloud below.

"If only I was strong enough to defeat Cell…Damn it….." Goku growled as his anger was lost while his anger was replaced with grief.

"Gohan….son….I failed you….I'm so sorry…." Goku rasped out as tears fell through the clouds under snake way while King Kai watched his beloved student with sorrow in his eyes.

"Poor Goku…there has to be a way…." King Kai pondered before an idea came to his head.

"That's it!" King Kai exclaimed, getting the attention of the saddened Saiyan.

"What's it, King Kai?" Goku asked as he wiped his eyes.

"Maybe he's just stranded in a different part of the universe." King Kai explained as Goku raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah?" Goku curiously asked.

"It looked to be some sort of distortion in time and space that happened in that Kamehameha clash. Although I don't want to…I'd have to converse with the other Kais…." King Kai finished, albeit a little reluctant at the end as he imagined the reactions of the other Kais when they find out about his accidental death.

"R-really? You think this'll work?" Goku asked, his hope slowly returning.

"I'll try my best Goku." King Kai smiled, happy that his favorite student was getting his inner flame back.

"Thank you so much King Kai." Goku smiled a smile akin to how things were before today.

"Of course, Goku." King Kai replied as Goku decided to make his presence known to the Z-Fighters.

"Hey guys! You should all probably ask Shenron to teleport you guys to New Namek so you can bring me back! After Gohan, I'm the strongest person on Earth so I can't just leave the earth unprotected!" Goku announced to his friends as they all nodded in understand.

"Right. Shenron, please take us all to New Namek!" The young Namek, Dende, exclaimed.

"It shall be done…." The eternal dragon communicated before everyone on the lookout was transported to the beautiful, green world of New Namek.

"Oh, it's you all!" Elder Moori smiled in recognition of the Z-Fighters but tensed at the site of Vegeta. Vegeta responded by rolling his eyes and crossing his arms.

"Haha, uh it's okay Elder Moori, Vegeta's on our side now!" Bulma tried to explain with a sheepish look on her face as he looked at her uncertainly.

"…Is this true?" Moori asked the Saiyan who scoffed.

"Yeah sure, whatever." Vegeta rolled his eyes as Moori sighed.

"Fine. Now what brings all of you here?" The Namek as the earthlings who explained the results of the Cell Games.

"I see….Well after everything Goku did for us, we'll happily use our Dragon Balls to revive him back to life." Moori smiled.

"Thank you!" Krillin thanked before the New Namekians gathered the Namekian set of Dragon Balls. Dende then summoned the Namekian Dragon, Porunga.

"You have awoken me from my slumber…Speak your wish…." Porunga ordered.

As Dende communicated the wish to bring Goku back to life it was approved as Goku's Halo was gone before he appeared on New Namek where he greeted his friends with goofy, trademark smile.

"Hey guys!" Goku cheerfully greeted before he was glomped by most of his friends save for Tien, Piccolo and Vegeta while they looked to the side happily. Well Tien and Piccolo while Vegeta did his best to act disinterested.

"Happy to have you back man!" Yamcha grinned.

"Heh, I'm happy to be back!" Goku retorted as Porunga decided to end the happy reunion.

"You all have used two sets of wishes….Speak your last wish while my mood still stands!" Porunga bellowed as Goku laughed.

"Haha sorry about that! Can you tell Porunga to take us back to Earth, Dende?" Goku asked the young Namekian.

"Yeah of course!" Dende replied before communicating the wish to the dragon and before anyone knew it, Goku and the others were right back on Kami's Lookout. Despite their joy at having their beloved hero back, the feeling was rather bittersweet.

"I can't believe it….Gohan can't be found…." Tien muttered sadly as everyone looked down in shame as they could only ponder about Gohan's fate and whether he was alive or not.

Chichi openly wailed for the loss of her child as Goku went to his wife and embraced her comfortably.

"Chichi…It'll be fine….After all, King Kai told me he'd attempt to look into things and see whether he could find Gohan or not. Don't lose hope, Chi. Everyone…" Goku said in an attempt to cheer everyone up as it seemed to work.

"Yeah…I'd love to wait around and see Gohan again! But…." Trunks trailed off as Bulma turned her head towards her future son.

"You still have to defeat the androids in your past." Bulma finished as Trunks nodded in confirmation.

"That's right. My world needs me. And then afterwards I can rebuild my timeline and with Goku giving me the coordinates for New Namek, hopefully I can revive the warriors of my time that way my world can be as prosperous as this one." Trunks explained as everyone smiled for Trunks now that he gained the power necessary to defend his world, especially Vegeta, who learned to appreciate his son after he received a "friendly" wake up call from Cell earlier.

"Good for you, Trunks! I'm certain you'll be able to defeat the androids of your time! Now as for me, I'd like to achieve the next level of Super Saiyan just like Gohan did. Which is why I'm gonna use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Goku announced to everyone.

"But I thought you said it could only be used twice in a lifetime?" Yamcha asked as Mr. Popo came from behind.

"Actually thanks to Dende modifying the room, one can use it as many times as they want to." The genie explained as Goku nodded.

"Right. And you all can even train with me too. I'll even teach you all the Kaioken!" Goku suggested as the other Z-Fighters looked at him in excitement, save for Vegeta.

"Oh that's right! King Kai was gonna teach us but we were all busy with the Frieza situation." Piccolo replied as memories of being shot with Frieza's death beam made him slightly cringe.

"And with the time limit of the room, I'm sure after a day you can all learn it." Goku explained as Vegeta growled.

"I don't need your damn charity, Kakarot. I can get strong all on my own!" Vegeta growled as Trunks, Bulma and Goku laughed.

"Haha, I knew you'd say that. Still the offer stands." Goku reminded the Saiyan Prince as Vegeta scowled while crossing his arms on his chest.

"Same old dad…" Trunks thought.

"Well I'm anxious and eager to learn it, Goku." Yamcha grinned.

"Yeah when do we start?" Tien asked.

"Tomorrow because….." Goku seriously began, getting the attention of everyone.

"Because?" Everyone asked.

"I'm starving!" Goku yelled as his stomach growled leading nearly everyone to face-fault, save for Vegeta who rolled his eyes.

"Dumbass…." Vegeta drawled.

"…Sounds….fair…" Piccolo replied in an irritated voice.

"Alright, it's a plan then!" Goku cheered as Chichi walked up behind him.

"Uh honey, while that's good to hear you want to get stronger, I should tell you some news I've been trying to tell you for a while." Chichi began as Goku turned around and raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" Goku asked as Chichi grinned.

"I'm pregnant!" Chichi announced as everyone, even Vegeta, went wide-eyed at the revelation.

"WHAT!?" Everyone announced, except for a certain Namekian and Saiyan Prince announced.

"I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl…" Chichi giggled as everyone, save for Piccolo and Vegeta, gave the Ox Princess their congratulations.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone." Chichi gratefully thanked as Goku was as still as a statue before a loud thump was heard on the lookout.

"Goku!?" Everyone yelled as Vegeta smirked as the embarrassing state of his rival.

"I'm not picking him up." Vegeta bluntly stated ignoring the looks he received.

Getting Back to Current Time…..

Gohan, clad in a black tank top and blue shorts, stood in the middle of field as he looked at the blonde across from him with a look of irritation.

The reason being was that the half-saiyan was rudely awoken from a nice dream by the energetic blonde who demanded that he get up so they could get a start on his Ki training. Gohan could now understand why some of the Z-Fighters got irritated with his father at times.

"You know, maybe you should let people get their fair share of sleep, Naruto. Some people need it…." Gohan covered his mouth to yawn as he was instantly reminded how early his mother would wake him up to study. Man did he not miss those days?

"Haha, sorry." Naruto lamely apologized as Gohan sighed. Yep, Naruto was definitely just like Goku.

"Anyways, shall we get started?" Gohan asked as Naruto grinned eagerly.

"Yes, please!" Naruto gleamed.

"Okay first off I feel I should explain the essence of Ki. Think of it like as the hidden energy or power located deep within your body." Gohan began his explanation as Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Hidden power?" Naruto asked confused.

"Right. And it may be a bit troublesome for you to gather your Ki at first given how your body is more accustomed to Chakra, it'll be harder but with time I'm sure you can learn it." Gohan explained before sitting down as he instructed Naruto to do the same.

"Now to start, you hold your arms out like this in order to draw out your hidden Ki." Gohan said as he cupped his arms forward.

"Once you do that, you slowly draw out the hidden power with you…Like so…." Gohan explained before he began concentrating his inner Ki before a small yellow sphere appeared from his chest.

"Whoa that's amazing!" Naruto yelled as Gohan smiled.

"Now you try it, Naruto." Gohan ordered his friend who nodded his head.

"Uh right." Naruto agreed as he tried his best to gather his inner Ki but after five minutes, his face turned red from the strain and he fell back on his butt.

"Damn it! What's wrong with me?" Naruto relented on his failure.

"The problem is you need to be as calm as the sea when you gather out your Ki. You were putting too much force into it which is extremely dangerous so you need to try again and get your mind and body within peace." Gohan scolded the energetic blonde who sighed.

"Right…." Naruto groaned as he wasn't the calm type. Heck he didn't have a reputation for being "hyperactive" for nothing!

Naruto was able to sit still for a good five seconds before nearly falling behind in frustration.

"I'm not the 'sit-still, be uber patient" kinda guy! This is gonna be impossible!" Naruto yelled as Gohan sighed at his friend's attitude.

"Naruto has the attitude but is there a way…Ah! Wait that's it!" Gohan announced to himself before he turned to Naruto smiling.

"I've got it. Try to communicate your want of wanting to use Ki with a particular goal in mind. Like you want to become just like Mr. Hiruzen, right? Translate that dream into your desire of mastering Ki." Gohan explained as Naruto raised an eyebrow still uncertain.

"….Well…okay….If you say so…" Naruto sighed as he went silently into thought. If he mastered Ki like Gohan, he'd definitely be one step closer to his dream of becoming Hokage. Especially considering Gohan's comment about his strength.

As he thought this old memories came into Naruto's mind.

"Hey look! It's him! It's that boy…"

"Is he coming over here? If so I'm leaving…."

"Get away from us you freak!"

"Monster!"

Naruto grit his teeth as a long tear fell from his eye. He so desperately wanted to know why everyone loathed him but when he asked the old man, all he received was a vague answer. Yes, he was a troublemaker and somewhat of a delinquent but he was an all-around alright guy. He'd happily take in anyone who was on the streets and for him to be a pariah all his life for reasons he had no idea why was utterly maddening to him.

He would do it. He would become a strong man and ninja and get the respect of everyone in the village and then become hokage.

He would do it!

NO MATTER WHAT!

As Gohan observed his protegee, he noticed the outline of a small ball of Ki forming in Naruto's hands. While it wasn't a quarter as big as the one he was able to produce earlier (with little to no effort), it was definitely a start.

"Naruto, you're doing it!" Gohan exclaimed happily for his friend as an excited grin made its way onto Naruto's face.

"Really!?" Naruto yelled.

"Yeah, just focus a little bit more!" Gohan said, proud of his student.

"O-"Before Naruto could do anything, the kicking up of leaves cut him off, disrupting his concentration.

The two bewildered boys looked up to see a bizarre looking boy about their age with a bowl cut hairdo, large bushy eyebrows and a very hideous green jumpsuit.

"….Who…are….you?" The confused son of Goku asked the mysterious new comer as he smiled.

"You want to know my name? Gladly! I am Rock Lee, the handsome devil of the Hidden Leaf!" Lee grinned before striking a pose while the other two preteen boys were left bewildered with blank expressions of shock.

"…O….kay?" Gohan uneasily replied as Naruto got over his shock.

"Hey bushy brows! Piss off! You're disrupting my training!" Naruto yelled with an irritated expression as Lee returned his irritated look.

"Bushy brows!? How dare you!?" Lee yelled before the two stomped up to each other and got in each other's faces.

"And who the hell got you that outfit!? A charity worker!?" Naruto roared as Lee's already limitful patience was broken by ten times.

"How dare you insult this outfit!? My sensei, Guy, got this for me!" Lee yelled as Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Who gives a shit!?" Naruto retorted before Gohan, being the peaceful mediator he was, got in between the two.

"Uh…Lee…so why have you come here in the first place?" Gohan asked as Lee calmed himself down.

"Oh right. The reason I'm here is because I'd like to have a fight with you." Lee explained as Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"A fight?" Gohan pondered.

"That's right. I hear you don't use Chakra but are really powerful, especially with Ki." Lee said as Gohan's raised eyebrow widened even more.

"Huh….the gossip here spreads pretty fast huh?" Gohan internally thought before turning to Lee.

"I don't know if that's a good idea." Gohan said as he was certain he'd no doubt beat Lee. Though he did have some potential, Gohan could sense.

"Well let's just see whether it is or not!" Lee roared as he attempted to assault Gohan with a barrage of punches and kicks as Gohan dodged them with relative ease.

"Whoa…awesome! That Lee freak is fast as hell but Gohan's able to keep up with him!" Naruto observed with amazement as Lee was just as astonished.

"What the?" Lee asked in amazement as he stopped his assault on the young hybrid.

"No one has been fast enough to keep up with my punches and kicks before…." Lee breathed out speechless as Gohan shrugged.

"Well apparently I did." Gohan joked as he remembered his father using the same joke when he fought Jeice and Burter back on Namek all those years ago.

"Huh…if that's the case, let's see how you do against this!" Lee yelled before he disappeared in a sudden flash.

"Whatever you're doing isn't gonna wor-"Gohan tried ending the fight for Lee's intergrity before he was suddenly kicked into the air.

"Gohan!" Naruto yelled in concern for his friend.

"…Work…" Gohan finished as he was abruptly kicked into the air before a voice from behind decided to speak up. He wasn't hurt in the slightly but he was slightly curiously about Lee's apparent plan.

"Impressive Son Gohan….let's see how you do against this!" Lee roared as he kicked Gohan several times in the air before deciding to wrap the bandages on his arms around him.

"What're you?" Gohan was about to ask as Lee grinned.

"Let's see how you do against the ground with my Primary Lotus!" Lee roared as he was about to send Gohan straight into the ground before Gohan decided to end this.

"Yeah…no." Gohan said before breaking out of the taijutsu user's bandages and knocking him towards the ground with little force on his end before Lee landed back first to the ground.

"Haha, that's why Gohan's the best! Though I wish I was that strong and badass…." Naruto thought, a little jealous at the end.

"Lee…I think we should stop this." Gohan suggested as Lee wiped his mouth before standing up defiantly and smirking.

"You know Gohan…you're strong….I'd say even stronger than Neji…last year's number one rookie…" Lee began as Gohan raised an eyebrow at the name.

"Neji?" Gohan asked before Lee continued.

"As I am right now I have absolutely no chance against you….but let's see how I am with my hidden gates!" Lee declared before donning a peculiar pose.

"Hidden gates?" Gohan raised an eyebrow.

Before Lee could do anything, a shuriken disrupted his process and nearly knocked him back. The source was a man who literally looked to be an older version of Lee, possibly his father.

"Good day, my young boy! Life treating ya good!?" The man gleefully greeted as Gohan was taken even more aback by this weird man.

"Another weirdo!?" Naruto thought as he nearly fell back in frustration.

"Uh…who…are you?" Gohan asked as the man grinned.

"I am Might Guy, the more handsome devil of the Hidden leaf!" Guy exclaimed as his teeth glowed, unnerving the two boys.

"You're the main freak!?" Naruto yelled as Lee grew a tick mark on his head, tired of the blonde's disrespectful attitude.

"How dare you! Guy-Sensei is one of the strongest jonin in the history of the village! Show some respect you pipsqueak!" Lee yelled as Naruto stormed up to Lee.

"Pipsqueak!? Say that again you green suit wearing, bushy browed having freak!" Naruto dissed as fumes blew from within Lee's head.

"Okay that's it!" Lee roared. However, before a potential fight could break out….

"Lee that's enough! Now we need to talk…." Guy started as Lee tensed, already knowing what was coming.

"Yes, Guy-Sensei?" Lee stammered as his sensei balled up his fist.

"How dare you pick a fight with another random person you idiot!?" Guy roared before slamming his fist straight into Lee's face, shocking the half-saiyan and blonde prankster.

"What the hell!?" Both boys yelled as Lee hit the ground before Guy lowered to his height and put his hands on Guy's shoulders.

"Lee…you know…that hurt me more than that hurt you…." Guy began, his voice getting choked up as Lee was just as emotional.

"Y-yes sir…" Lee sniffled before Guy started crying.

"What…is…going on here?" Naruto asked the confused half-saiyan as Gohan could barely speak anything given his current state of shock.

"…You got me…" Gohan replied as they continued staring at the show ahead.

"Never…do anything like that again…." Guy choked on his tears as Lee smiled.

"Yes sir! I love you Guy-Sensei!" Lee sobbed.

"Lee!" Guy yelled.

"Guy-Sensei!" Lee yelled back before the two eccentric fools hugged each other before the image of a sunset appeared behind them.

"…Okay…I'm done…." Gohan said as Naruto silently agreed with him.

"To our next encounter Son Gohan!" Lee smiled as he gave Gohan a thumbs up as he turned around after getting out of Guy's hug.

"Uh…sure?" Gohan nervously replied before Guy gave Lee a pat on his head.

"Now, let us run across the village 1000 times in order to regain our youth!" Guy suggested as Lee cheered.

"Right! To the power of youth!" Lee cheered before the two got on their hands and waddled off, much to the amazement of the two.

"…What….just…happened?" Naruto asked the more intelligent of the two.

"…I don't know….nor do I want to know…." Gohan stammered, slightly traumatized at what he just saw. Thank goodness the sound of Naruto's grumbling stomach cut him off.

"Wanna get some ramen for lunch?" Gohan suggested.

"Yeah…" Naruto muttered before the two boys then entered the village where Gohan noticed how the treatment of him changed significantly over his stay in the village. It had been around four days since Gohan literally landed in the world of the Shinobi and the village's reception of him got even worse!

Given how it spread how he didn't use Chakra but rather Ki, he was treated just as much of a freak as Naruto was.

As Gohan shrugged off the treatment of the villagers, the two eventually entered the Ramen shack where Naruto immediately ordered ramen for the two of them.

Thankfully it arrived pretty fast.

"Here's your ramen, Naruto, Gohan!" Ayame cheerfully yelled while winking at Gohan, making him blush before she went back into the kitchen.

"Good as always…." Gohan said after finished his bowl of ramen as Naruto grinned.

"You like her don't you?" Naruto laughed as Gohan blushed.

"N-no I don't!" Gohan tried to lie as Naruto chortled.

"Oh yes you do! You totally have a crush on her!" Naruto laughed harder as Gohan's blush deepened.

"I do not!" Gohan yelled as this didn't stop Naruto but rather inspired him.

"Gohan and Ayame sitting in a tree…K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes lo-"Naruto began singing.

"Naruto, enough!" Gohan yelled as Naruto ignored him.

"Love! Then comes marriage! And finally-"Naruto was about to finish as Gohan clamped his hands over Naruto's mouth.

"Enough alre-HEY!" Gohan yelled before he realized what Naruto did.

"You licked my hand!" Gohan recoiled in disgust as Naruto grinned.

"Ain't nothing wrong with having a crush on Ayame." Naruto smugly smiled as Gohan narrowed his eyes as the blonde.

"You know…there are times like this morning when I absolutely hate you…." Gohan began as Naruto's grin only got wider.

"And?" Naruto tried holding in his laughter.

"This is one of those times." Gohan growled.

Chapter Four is officially in the history books! So baby Goten is coming, Naruto is starting on his journey to learn Ki, Gohan squared off against Lee while Guy-Sensei was introduced and Goku is officially revived back to life!

Now I decided to bring Goku back because I'm gonna tell you all right now, after these small slice of life chapters (Which won't last much longer, I promise! XD), I'm NOT going to stick to the canon of Naruto or Dragon Ball. Why? Because I'm sure we can all agree that'd be boring for me to rewrite episodes into fanfiction that you can watch on Kissanime in like 15 minutes so yeah XD

And yeah, Goku's gonna teach the other Z-Fighters the Kaioken because I think they should've learned it since it's so badass! But then again this was around the time, everyone was shafted save for the Saiyans in the story -_- Well you all will be very relieved to know the other Z-Fighters like Yamcha, Tien and Krillin will play a MAJOR role in the story! =D

And I know some of you might comment on Gohan's crush on Ayame but don't worry, think of it like Ash's crush on Giselle in Pokemon. A crush that won't go anywhere XD

Plus pairings won't happen until we get to the timeskip of this story so don't worry about 11-12 year olds getting together, showing PDA and etc. XD

In either case, I should explain how Chapter 5 won't be released NEXT Thursday January 11th but the FOLLOWING one January 18th! The reason being is because I go back to school next week and with it being my JUNIOR year….yeah… XD Unfortunately as of now, instead of Saiyan Shinobi being updated every week, it'll be updated every TWO weeks! I hope that's not a problem for anyone XD Thanks for understanding ^_^

In any case, please don't forget to let me know all your thoughts on this chapter and the story as a whole and with all that said and done, please continue to fav, follow and review this story and I will see you all on January 18th with chapter 5!

Til next time, stay beautiful you lovely readers you! ^_^
