HEY GUYS!

Man what has it been nearly three months!? But this break of mine was necessary and as promised I am back! ^_^

Man it felt weird not updating this story for a while, huh? Well no worries I am back and plan on not taking another break like that for a good while! ^0^

Now with all that being said and done let the first chapter of Saiyan Shinobi in almost three months, commence~!


It had been a couple of days since Gohan and Co. departed from The Land of Waves after successfully freeing the nation from Gato's tyrannical control.

The group of five had taken refuge in a nearby town as they were getting close to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Although currently they were very agitated at the current moment.

The reason for their irritation? Because of a certain scare-crowed sensei.

"That Kakashi-Sensei never fails to keep us waiting!" Naruto groaned as the group of four were in the middle of the small village they were resting in. Sakura was just as irritated while Gohan and Sasuke were silent but inwardly as pissed if not more pissed than Naruto and Sakura.

"No kidding. I could've spent this time getting rid of my split ends." Sakura agreed with the blonde knucklehead.

"Right! And I could've gone back for the underpants that I forgot to wear!" Naruto yelled in a matter of fact voice as Sakura and Gohan felt equal amounts of disgust.

"Naruto…..that is so dirty." Gohan chided his best friend.

"Gross! That's way too much info! Who wants to hear about that!?" Sakura yelled while smacking Naruto upside his skull.

"Hehe….sorry Sakura…" Naruto chuckled sheepishly while rubbing his sore noggin.

"Hey Sakura, is it okay for you to be doing all that? I mean with your injuries during the fight with Haku and all…" Gohan reminded his friend in a voice of concern as she smiled before waving the half-saiyan off.

"Oh thanks for the concern but I'm doing better now! Especially when it comes to reprimanding a moron!" Sakura smiled at Gohan.

"Okay if you say so." Gohan said while feeling her energy signature and commenting to himself how it did indeed feel better than a couple of days ago.

"Would you all just relax? Sheesh, you're all so hyper this morning." Sasuke scowled in his usual irritated manner as Gohan laughed Sasuke off as Sakura blushed in embarrassment.

"Hey I'm relax! It's a certain blonde knucklehead that's the problem." Sakura said although her inner persona wasn't as jovial about the comment.

"Hey! Don't compare me to that knucklehead, Cha!" Inner Sakura yelled.

"HEY!" Naruto yelled although he was promptly ignored.

"Although I've gotten way better since the Academy days, right Sakura?" Naruto beamed at his crush who rewarded him with a deadpan expression.

"Didn't know. Was out." Sakura dismissed Naruto who fell back comically.

At that time, Kakashi finally decided to grace the others with his presence.

"Kakashi Sensei!" Gohan acknowledged the veteran ninja.

"You're late!" Naruto barked as Kakashi looked unfazed at the knucklehead's anger.

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I was trapped in a labyrinth of love~" Kakashi giggled under his mask as Sakura and Naruto both lost whatever patience they had left with the sensei.

"LIAR!" Naruto and Sakura yelled before they were calmed down by Sasuke and Gohan respectively.

With the humor died down, Kakashi then began to explain the real reason why he was gone.

"Apparently around Inaho village, there've been various numbers of bandits running amuck. Several people have even gone missing as a result." Kakashi explained to his team.

"Big Whoop. It's nothing we can't handle. Feh, sounds like something a kindergartner could do!" Naruto laughed before Sakura whacked Naruto's skull.

"Don't be such an ass!" Sakura growled.

"Sorry." Naruto meekly apologized.

"Yeah you better control yourself. Would hate for you to slow us down on this mission." Sasuke smirked as Naruto was restrained by Gohan.

"You bastard! Say that to my face!" Naruto yelled.

"I did say it to your face." Sasuke gloated.

"Okay enough! All this antagonizing isn't gonna get us anywhere!" Gohan reminded his teammates as Kakashi sighed.

"Sometimes I feel like Gohan might be the only mature one of this team. Besides me of course." Kakashi said, ignoring the hostile looks Naruto, Sakura and even Sasuke sent his way.

However, the group then stopped once they reached the inside of a forest.


"Okay we'll make this our reconnaissance point." Kakashi said.

"Okay!" Gohan, Naruto and Sakura said as Sasuke simply nodded.

"Alright let's do this quickly!" Naruto announced as Kakashi held his hand up.

"Wait, you three stay here. Gohan, you come with me." Kakashi said.

"Oh well…okay. If they're simply bandits, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura can handle it then." Gohan said before going off with Kakashi.


"What's wrong sensei?" Gohan asked.

"Something feels amiss…" Kakashi replied before Gohan heard a scream from the forest floor below.

"Help! Please!" A man's voice yelled.

"I wonder who that is…." Gohan said as he noticed a middle aged man looked upwards to them for help as he was attacked by a wild dog.

"We gotta help him!" Gohan turned to his sensei.

"Right." Kakashi nodded as the two jumped down before Gohan pulled out a piece of bacon left over from breakfast under his shirt.

"Here boy." Gohan grinned as the dog immediately noticed the piece of meat in his hand.

"Go get it!" Gohan threw the strip of meat as the dog immediately ran after it as Kakashi helped the man up.

"You must be Mr. Genmai. That was certainly a close call." Kakashi said.

"Mr Genmai?" Gohan asked the veteran ninja.

"Just how do you know my name?" Genmai asked.

"You've been missing from your village." Kakashi said as Genmai tried to remember what happened only to come up with nothing.

"I see…but…I can't remember what happened…" Genmai said as Kakashi and Gohan gave him quizzical expressions.

"You really don't remember what happened?" Kakashi asked as Genmai shook his head.

"Nothing." Genmai answered.

"Well I can help find out what happened when we recon with the others." Gohan said as he went to help up Genmai.

"Okay sounds good." Kakashi said as Gohan helped up Genmai but as soon as his palm touched Genmai's a large explosion rocked the area as Gohan and Kakashi soon found themselves in a dark lair.

"Wait what just happened?" Gohan asked before noticing Genmai unconscious as he lied under a circle of kanji.

"It's a seal circle. I think we were duped." Kakashi narrowed his eye.

"Well I can still try to find out what happened…." Gohan said before putting a hand on Genmai's head.

"What're you?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow as Gohan closed his eyes as he remembered his father doing this on him back on Namek before opening his eyes.

"So that's what happened." Gohan said.

"Gohan? Just what did you do?" Kakashi asked.

"I scanned his memories and saw what happened." Gohan explained as Kakashi raised his eyes in shock.

"Wait you can do that? But it's just like the Yamanaka's clan ability!" Kakashi said.

"Yeah. My father could do it better though." Gohan explained before putting his hand over Kakashi's head who narrowed his eye as he took in the information.

"I see….a group of missing ninja with one at the center called Kajika attacked Genmai and sent that trap on him…." Kakashi said as he turned to Gohan.

"What now?" Kakashi asked as Gohan smiled.

"We get out of here, of course." Gohan answered.


Meanwhile, the other members of Team Seven heard the explosion.

"Just what the hell was that!?" Naruto asked startled.

"A trap…" Sakura theorized.

"I'm sure Gohan and Kakashi are alright though…." Sasuke narrowed his eyes before sensing something amiss.

"Both of you! Get down!" Sasuke commanded his two teammates before they were all pushed and knocked back before deflecting several kunai and shuriken based attacks.

"Show yourselves!" Sasuke said as a group of three missing ninja soon revealed themselves; Kajika, Iwana and Yamame. Kajika had a hat resembling that of a shark while Iwana had his face concealed in a mask while Yamame had spiky brown hair.

"Heh, so you're all with that brat who uses Ki, right?" Kajika smirked.

"And what if we are!?" Naruto demanded.

"Why don't we play a game? We'll attack and kill you three scrubs while drawing him out!" Kajika grinned before lunging at the three with his other two teammates as a brief scuffle then ensued with the members of Team Seven being able to hold their grounds. However….

"Too slow!" Yamame smirked as Sakura realized her guard was done before her neck was chopping, turning Sakura's vision black.

"Sakura!" Naruto and Sasuke yelled as they realized their friend was now in the hands of the enemy.

"Let's see now….if we finish now, we'll be disobeying orders…" Kajika said.

"Why don't we play another game of 'Get her back!'? Though you're all are gonna have to haul ass to get her back safely. Less she be returned headless." Iwana grinned with glee as Naruto growled at him as Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"You bastards!" Naruto growled.

"See you around!" Kajika grinned before he and his teammates disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Bastard!" Naruto jumped from branch to branch.

"Naruto! Damn lunkhead…" Sasuke muttered to himself before going after Naruto.

"Just where is Gohan and Kakashi?" Sasuke asked himself.

"Just why're we going to such lengths again?" Yamame asked.

"You heard our lord's orders. Besides I've heard this kid can go toe to toe with even jonin like ninja. I wanna see his powers for myself." Kajika said before a shower of shuriken rained down over them.

"Watch out!" Iwana said as the group stopped as they looked up to see a very irate Naruto.

"Stop right there! Naruto Uzumaki is here now! The fun and games are over now!" Naruto announced as the ninja sneered at him.

"So loud and obnoxious." Kajika rolled his eyes.

"What the hell kind of ninja wears orange? What? Do you wanna get yourself killed so easily?" Yamame added as a tick mark appeared on Naruto's skull.

"Shut up and let's go!" Naruto rolled his sleeve up.

"Heh, you're either extremely confident in your abilities or too stupid to realize your limits." Kajika smirked before snapping his fingers and sending Yamame and Iwana after Naruto before they were kicked into a nearby tree by Sasuke.

"You're so damn impatience. And thanks to you, we lost the element of surprise from our side." Sasuke sighed as Naruto sweat dropped.

"Seriously!?" Naruto yelled as Sasuke covered his ears.

"Always so loud." Sasuke sighed again as Kajika jumped to the tree above.

"I'll leave these two to you." Kajika said before vanishing.

"Leave it to us." Iwana said.

"Damn it! We're even further away from Sakura!" Naruto growled as Sasuke chided Naruto.

"We have to get past these guys first." Sasuke reminded his teammate before the two formed a kanji like formation.

"Well we can't just stand around here." Naruto said before making a hand sign.

"Wait, what're you?" Sasuke asked as Naruto grinned.

"We give it back to then ten fold!" Naruto grinned before he transformed into a naked girl as several tens of clones of him appeared around the rogue ninja.

"Sexy jutsu!" All the clones yelled.

Sasuke meanwhile said nothing as he closed his eyes in obvious disgust.

"Do you really think that'd work on us?" Yamame asked before noticing how Iwana fell from the branch he was on with his eyes rolled to the back of his head with blood streaming down his nose.

"Men…." Yamame deadpanned as Naruto returned to normal.

"Heh, how's that!?" Naruto laughed as Sasuke shook his head.

"Such a pain in the ass." Sasuke sighed.

"Well unfortunately I won't be that simple to be-Huh?" Yamame asked before noticing a paper bomb located on the tree behind her.

"What the?" Sasuke asked as Naruto appeared with five shadow clones behind her.

"Naruto! Uzumaki! Barrage!" Naruto and his clones yelled as they pummeled her with all sorts of hits before she was out cold too.

"Now that these jokers are out, we should go after that main guy now." Sasuke said.

"Right. And thanks to Gohan teaching us how to sense Ki, we can sense Sakura and go to where she's located." Naruto added.

"Right." Sasuke nodded as the two grabbed their two prisoners and made their way to their lost teammate…..


Using a Ki power up, Gohan was able to get the two out of the sealing carrier barrier they were in.

"Wow, you're gonna have to teach me that one of these days." Kakashi said to Gohan.

"Haha sure." Gohan laughed before sensing something off.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked as he noticed the change in Gohan's expression.

"It's Sakura. Her energy signature is weak but she's hanging in there." Gohan replied.

"Then we better hurry immediately." Kakashi said to Gohan.

"Yeah." Gohan answered back before the two went off after their teammates.


In Kajika's lair, Kajika sat back as he awaited for the return of his teammates. However, what he saw was vastly different than what he was expecting…..

"Heh, so you brats were able to overcome Iwana and Yamame?" Kajika asked nonchalantly as Naruto and Sasuke came into the corridor while dropping the two rogue ninjas like a sack of potatoes.

"Yeah, that's right!" Naruto yelled as he threw a shuriken which went right through Kajika before he turned into a pile of logs.

"A clone?" Sasuke asked before hearing the sound of water arising behind him, revealing the real Kajika.

"A water clone." Sasuke muttered before clashing his Shuriken with Kajika as Naruto growled in frustration.

"Damn it!" Naruto cursed as he summoned two shadow clones which clashed against the Kajika clones.

"This is getting annoying!" Naruto said as he cut through two of Kajika's clones like butter before two more appeared.

"For once I agree with you." Sasuke said while activating his Sharingan.

"Why do you want Gohan?" Sasuke demanded as Kajika's smirk widened.

"Why? I simply want to be useful to someone I respect. And my lord has simply ordered me to see the strength of one Son Gohan." Kajika explained.

"Your lord?" Naruto inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. The 'Wonderful One'." Kajika finished before erupting in several water like needles that lunged at Sasuke who dodged them.

"Too slow." Kajika said before kicking Sasuke into a nearby cliff.

Unfazed by this as he got up, Sasuke made more hand signs.

"Fire Style! Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" Sasuke said as several balls of fire launched themselves at Kajika although these were more powerful than Sasuke's normal fire balls as these had Ki infused in them.

Though singed by the fire, Kajika only smiled wilder.

"Not bad! Let's see how you handle this! Water Style! Water Dragon Jutsu!" Kajika announced as a dragon even bigger than the one Zabuza used appeared and lunged itself at Sasuke before Sasuke even knew what happened sending him into a boulder, his arm hitting it first.

"Ugh damn it…I dropped my guard….And now this arm is nearly shot…" Sasuke growled as he winced at the pain.

"Heh, looks like this is over now." Kajika grinned as Naruto punched his square in the face sending him flying into the wall behind him.

"You little shit…" Kajika wiped the blood from his chin.

"It's only over…WHEN WE SAY IT'S OVER!" Naruto yelled before making a hand sign.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as nearly a hundred clones lunged at Kajika.

"Heh, persistent bugger." Kajika said as he wiped all of them out using another water style dragon.

Although…he forgot one…..

"Here it is! Leaf Village Hidden Finger Jutsu, a Thousand Years of Death!" Naruto smirked as he shoved his finger's up Kajika's ass, sending him flying several years as Sasuke deadpanned.

"How you like that!?" Naruto grinned as Kajika's ass was left sizzling.

"You little brat…I'll definitely kill you first! You can count on that!" Kajika said as Sasuke appeared right by Naruto's side.

"Heh, so it's two against one, huh? Better make it worth my while, then." Kajika said before vanishing.

"Hey, he vanished again!" Naruto said.

"That silly technique of yours won't work a second time." Sasuke said, albeit a little jokingly.

"Do you have any smoke bombs?" Sasuke asked.

"Smoke bombs? Why?" Naruto asked.

"Without any cover, he can pick us off easily. This evens the playing field a bit. Not to mention this arm isn't all that useful right now. Thankfully I can still see Chakra flows with my Sharingan though. Now work with me, Naruto." Sasuke said as he activated his Sharingan.

"Uh, okay!" Naruto said as he threw several smoke bombs around the area.

As Kajika made his way around the area, he dodged several kunais aimed for him.

"Not bad. Still some fight left in you both and working together, huh?" Kajika mused.

"You missed! Take better aim next time!" Sasuke scolded Naruto who groaned as he immediately regretted working with the avenger.

"Oh shut up, your guiding sucks." Naruto rolled his eyes before the two dodged their own sets of kunais.

"Heh, lost little kitties huh? Well don't worry, I'll find a permanent home for you two!" Kajika smirked as he chased after the two who tried escaping using the smoke.

"You know what to do? It's not too hard for that brain of yours?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah shut up!" Naruto growled.

"Throw! At 2 O'clock!" Sasuke said.

"You piss me off so much!" Naruto wailed as he wished he were here with Gohan instead.

"Don't miss, clumsy!" Sasuke said.

"Who you calling clumsy!" Naruto argued as he was actually able to graze Kajika's cheek with the weapon. Although…he's right in front of the two now…

"Guess you've got nowhere to run now!" Kajika said.

Naruto and Sasuke were about to make their next move before…

"Glad I caught up with you two!" Gohan said as he jumped right in front of them.

"Gohan! Glad to see you here!" Naruto grinned as Sasuke tried his best not to look happy.

"Where's Kakashi?" Sasuke asked.

"He should be getting Sakura as we speak." Gohan answered as Kajika smirked.

"Son Gohan! Let's see what you got!" Kajika said as he summoned a huge water dragon.

"HOLY SHIT! That's even bigger than the one he used against you!" Naruto exclaimed as Sasuke was silent, waiting to see what Gohan would do.

"TAKE THIS!" Kajika yelled as the dragon hit Gohan as he simply walked through it.

Before Kajika could say anything, Gohan appeared right in front of him with his fist clenched.

"Enough already!" Gohan said before knocking out Kajika with only a single blow to the stomach.

"As always…Gohan will never cease to amaze me…" Sasuke muttered.

"Yeah, yeah let's go to Sakura now!" Naruto grinned.

"Wait, you idiot!" Sasuke said as he went after Naruto.

As Gohan looked at Kajika's unconscious body, much to his confusion he actually stood up.

"Hey wait, I knocked you out." Gohan said, perturbed as Kajika was up and smiling as an ominous chakra surrounded him. His eyes had purple slits under them as his eyes under yellow.

"Ah…the power of Son Gohan…truly impressive indeed…" "Kajika" grinned as Gohan narrowed his eyes.

"You're definitely not Kajika, anymore. Just who the heck are you? What do you want?" Gohan demanded as he took a fighting stance.

"Kajika" only grinned in response.

"Soon…very soon…our paths will cross…." "Kajika" said before he exploded much to Gohan's astonishment.

"Just…who…was that guy?" Gohan asked as the remnants of Team Seven jumped to where he was.

"Gohan, is everything okay?" Kakashi asked.

"I'll explain later. For now we should probably return to the village." Gohan said as everyone agreed to do just that.

As the team happily watched as Genmai was reunited with his family, Gohan's mind was overloaded with questions.

"Just…who was that guy?" Gohan thought to himself.


As all this went on, in a nearby forest, a certain man sat in what looked to be a hideout of sorts. He was tall, had long black hair and had facial features resembling that of a snake as he was very pale with yellow snake like eyes and purple slits under his eyes.

"It looked like Kajika was useful after all, huh Lord Orochimaru?" A man appeared in front of him. He had ash grey hair with black glasses.

Orochimaru then opened his eyes with a smile.

"Yes indeed….I must say I was initially interested in Sasuke Uchiha but Son Gohan has been shown to be a very promising person to check into…His power is simply amazing…" Orochimaru grinned as Kabuto returned said grin.

"It looks like you'll need my infiltration skills, right? After all, the Chunin Exams are coming up soon." Kabuto titled his glasses.

"Yes indeed Kabuto." Orochimaru said as Kabuto took his leave.

"Kukuku…..such promise…..even stronger than possibly even Itachi. Oh yes the Chunin Exams will definitely be interesting this year! And the icing on top of the cake? The destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village!" Orochimaru giggled in glee before making his way back to his room.
