Happy near end of November everyone and a VERY happy Turkey day everyone! With everyone getting their mouthfuls of yummy Thanksgiving food, hopefully this chapter will help you guys digest your food! ^_^

P.S: There's a bunch of goodies at the end of the chapter so keep your eyes open! ^_^


The group had made their way to Capsule Corp shortly after encountering the bizarre ninja, Sai.

They all had their own fair share of opinions of Sai, to say the least.

The girls all found Sai to be a little weird….a bit of an understatement save for Hinata who felt it wasn't fair to judge a person before knowing them whereas Ino felt as if she had somewhat of a binding with Sai…almost as if in a parallel universe, they would actually have some sort of connection.

Kakashi, Future Gohan, Future Trunks, Sasuke, Shino, Neji, Dosu, Zaku and Shikamaru were all extremely wary of Sai. While they didn't hate the Root nin, they definitely didn't trust him. While others like Gohan, Naruto, Goku, Choji, Kiba and Lee had their extremely high reservations about Sai, they still had an air of confidence that if he pulled anything nefarious, they could stop him.

As Gohan and everyone got situated in the café area of Capsule Corp, out came a blonde woman with closed eyes, much to the confusion of everyone.

"Well hello there! You all must be the children Bulma recently took in!" The blonde woman smiled.

"Uh…are your eyes always closed?" Shikamaru muttered though a sharp ear tug from Ino made him retract his statement.

"Hehe, well let's just say I'm different than other people!" The woman chirped as everyone nearly deadpanned at her response.

"Oh I should introduce myself, I'm Mrs. Briefs, Bulma's mother but you can all call me Panchy!" Panchy happily introduced herself as everyone's eyes widened at her proclamation.

"Wait, you're Miss Bulma's mother? But she looks like she's at least in her early thirties!" Karin pointed out as Panchy laughed.

"Why thank you, miss! I'm only a healthy seventy!" Panchy giggled as everyone stared bug eyed at the optimistic blonde, even Dosu and Neji.

"Seventy!?" Konohamaru yelled.

"Man, Tsunade's really got nothing on you!" Goku snorted.

"Lady…were you some sort of model back in the day?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto, what kind of question is that!?" Sakura snapped at Naruto as Panchy giggled.

"Well thank you, young man, you're so kind." Panchy laughed as she remembered how back in the day she received all sorts of invitations for magazines like Sports Illustrated.

"Panchy, I hope you're not scaring away our guests." The voice of Dr. Brief entered the room.

"Congrats Naruto, you found somewhat shorter than you!" Sasuke snorted as Dr. Brief waved off the comment as Naruto snapped back at Sasuke.

"Oh up yours!" Naruto spat.

"And who are you old man?" Zaku rudely asked as Dr. Brief's eyes narrowed at the boy's rudeness.

"Well for your information young man, I am Dr. Briefs, the head behind this entire establishment. Although I admit my daughter took over when she became of age." Dr. Briefs rubbed the back of his head as everyone sans Future Trunks, Future Gohan, Gohan, Goku and Team Seven stared at the man in shock.

"No way! This old geezer's the big cheese!?" Kiba pointed at Dr. Briefs who narrowed his eyes at the Inuzuka.

"My word…kids nowadays are so rude." Dr. Briefs muttered as Panchy waltzed over to the group.

"Now that I can meet all you lovely children, please tell me, what're your names?" Panchy gleamed.

"This is Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Dosu, Kin, Zaku, Karin, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon Sai, an old family friend named Mirai and of course you know Trunks." Gohan gestured to everyone as they nodded as Panchy immediately ran to Trunks.

"Oh Trunks! I see you've grown your hair long again!" Panchy giggled as Trunks laughed while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly as his hair had indeed gone long again in a style similar to when he left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with it being in a ponytail.

"Well what can I say, I think it fits." Trunks grinned as he honestly preferred his hair this way. Thank goodness his hair wasn't blue or anything like his mother's as he honestly thought lavender was a perfect fit for him.

"So Trunks, you have a girlfriend now?" Panchy winked as Trunks blushed.

"N-no! I mean uh…I've had too much on my plate to worry about getting a girlfriend…." Trunks muttered as Future Gohan/Mirai nodded his head.

"Well you sure are cute though." Tenten smiled.

"Yeah totally hotty!" Moegi beamed with a blush as Hanabi nodded feverously.

"Well thanks…hehe…" Trunks sheepishly grinned.

"Out of morbid curiosity, just how old are you two?" Kakashi asked.

"Twenty one." Trunks answered.

"Twenty three." Mirai confirmed as everyone nodded in understanding.

"Hey…if you're a family friend of Gohan's….why hasn't he mentioned you before now?" Naruto asked as Future Gohan and Trunks' eyes widened in dread.

"Oh uh because…we've….uh….recently gotten back in touch, hehe…." Mirai laughed in a manner similar to Goku and Gohan whenever they messed up.

It was then that Sasuke's eyes widened in realization.

"So that's it…." Sasuke muttered to himself.

"I'll have to ask just how strong the Gohan from the future was able to get…" Goku thought to himself.

Gohan then thought about Mirai before his eyes widened in realization too…

"No way…." Gohan said to himself as he couldn't believe he was actually talking to the future version of himself!

Seeming satisfied with this answer, Naruto shrugged it off, much to the future warriors' reliefs.

It was then Vegeta entered the restaurant area decked in a tank top and sweat pants.

"Bulma's mother, I'm hungry! When's the food gonna be ready?" Vegeta barked much to the irritation of the ninja.

"Oh great!" Ino and Sakura thought in irritation.

"This guy?" Dosu rolled his visible eye.

"Just freaking great." Naruto groaned as Sasuke decided to voice his displeasure with the Saiyan prince.

"Well thanks for finally appearing. I thought you were gonna start training me today. What? You busy taking a nap?" Sasuke scoffed before Vegeta's foot found his way into Sasuke's chest, kicking him into a wall behind him.

"Sasuke!" All of Team Seven yelled as the ninja glared at Vegeta.

"What a bully." Tenten muttered.

"Yeah no kidding." Ino glared, upset this jerk would dare attack her love.

"Oh boy…" Dr. Briefs pinched his brow.

"…I see father hasn't changed much…" Trunks nervously laughed.

"Yeah totally." Mirai shook his head although this incarnation of Vegeta seemed more….mellow when compared to the Vegeta from his time.

"You don't talk like that to me, boy. We train on my time not yours!" Vegeta snarled as Sasuke picked himself up, coughing as a bruise started to form on his chest.

"Hmph, whatever." Sasuke smirked as Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"That Sasuke kid kinda reminds me of Vegeta." Mirai whispered to Trunks.

"Heh, I can see why." Trunks smirked as he couldn't believe his father would actually train someone not of Saiyan blood. Maybe his father really was changing….

"Say where were you all day?" Kakashi asked, remembering Vegeta's promise to train as Vegeta scoffed.

"That's none of your business, scare crow." Vegeta spat as Kakashi's eyes narrowed at the description Vegeta gave him. However before he could reply, Vegeta scanned over the whole group before a smirk formed along his lips as he noticed his son was among them.

"Trunks." Vegeta simply said. If Trunks was here that only meant one thing, he had finally defeated the Androids that plagued his future for nearly two decades.

"Hi, father." Trunks smiled back as nearly everyone's eyes bulged from their skulls.

"DAD!?" They all exclaimed. But then it made sense. There was far too much resemblance between the two. Though Trunks seemed more chill than Vegeta….

It was also then the group realized this was the first time they had ever seen Vegeta smile…..

"Well I can see where he gets his cuteness from." Moegi smiled.

"But Trunks seems so nice while his dad's kind of a dick." Kin muttered.

"Haha he may seem like that at first but he's actually not that bad." Trunks laughed off the comment as while he was closer with his father, especially with him being revived in his timeline, although he could understand why people wouldn't care much for Vegeta given his attitude while Vegeta clearly heard it.

"What was that!?" Vegeta demanded as Kin nervously gulped remembering how easily he dealt with Naruto and Sasuke.

"N-nothing sir…" Kin muttered as Vegeta then turned his gaze towards "Mirai".

"Uh…how do you do?" Future Gohan asked as he was never too close to Vegeta, even before he died and even when they were in the Afterlife, he was in Heaven whereas Vegeta was in Hell. Although he told him it wasn't all that bad as he passed his time beating Frieza, King Cold and Cooler every now and again.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow as he instantly connected the dots on who it was sitting by his son from the future before deciding against speaking what he was going to say. He didn't want to hear any more of the irritating ninja brats' yelling. Not for today, anyways.

Vegeta then turned his attention to the ninja before snorting.

"Hmph, so you're all really staying here, huh? Make sure not to get in my way, ninja brats. After all, I doubt you could all wipe your asses." Vegeta jeered much to the ninjas' displeasures.

"C'mon Vegeta, don't be mean." Gohan offered as Vegeta cut his eyes at Gohan.

"And who said I was nice?" Vegeta scoffed.

"Look here asshole, don't underestimate ninjas! We could all kick your ass if we outsmart you!" Kiba yelled as Vegeta looked amused by his proclamation.

"Oh really?" Vegeta snorted.

"That's right. There's nothing as an unbeatable opponent. For all your strength, you can still be outsmarted and defeated." Kakashi stated.

"Kakashi's right. That's how I was able to beat villains like Raditz. And how Sasuke beat you." Goku agreed in a matter of fact tone.

"Ridiculous. All you're probably good for is walking that shitting canine up and down the street." Vegeta scoffed as that was the last straw for Kiba.

"Don't you dare insult Akamaru!" Kiba roared, intending to pummel Vegeta with Akamaru growling in agreement.

Vegeta stood his ground, daring for the Inuzuka to try to fight him before he was held back by Choji.

"Kiba, just chill and be the bigger person." Choji said, not forgiving Vegeta for his rude words towards him the other day.

"Yeah you're bigger alright." Vegeta mocked as Choji's already short fuse was lit….for a lack of better words.

This time it was Shikamaru having to hold the two back.

"What were you just telling Kiba, idiot!?" Shikamaru chided his two friends as he cut his eyes to Vegeta, "They're right. You may be strong for now but we're training and honing our skills. For all you know we could surpass you before we turn eighteen." Shikamaru said to Vegeta who crossed his arms before walking off.

"Vegeta! You bullying these kids again!?" The voice of Bulma barked as she walked through the corridor as Vegeta groaned at the sight of the taller girl.

"No, woman. I'm only joking." Vegeta said in irritation.

"Hmph, you better be. That's why you were denied all this, last night." Bulma gestured to her lower region as the more mature of the ninja paled realizing exactly what Bulma meant as Vegeta's teeth grit in rage as he remembered the argument they had last night…..

"The hell are you so mad at me for!? The brat wanted me to be his master! I was testing him!" Vegeta yelled as Bulma socked him hard in the skull with a frying pan Chichi gave to her when she turned thirty as a birthday present.

"You don't attack kids, you dick!" Bulma roared, whacking Vegeta again as Vegeta's nostrils flared in rage. How did the former Prince of the Saiyans fall this hard to the point where some fragile female could assault him like this without any repercussions?

"Well what's done is done, woman!" Vegeta spat as Bulma jeered at Vegeta.

"You're right, what's done is done which is why you're grounded!" Bulma shouted as Vegeta scoffed, overhearing the term from Gohan once.

"What do you mean I'm 'grounded'? Do I look like some ten year old brat?" Vegeta snorted as Bulma smirked.

"I mean you're grounded from the goodies." Bulma smirked wider as she pointed downstairs as Vegeta paled in dread.

"You can't be serious!" Vegeta gasped out. Way back when he was pissed about not being able to turn Super Saiyan it was Bulma's goodies that got Vegeta through the day.

"Dead serious. But don't worry, you have this to pleasure you." Bulma winked handing Vegeta a certain bottle as Vegeta examined it.

"….Men's…Vasoline….the hell is that supposed to do?" Vegeta looked at Bulma as if she grew a second eye.

"I dunno, figure it out!" Bulma snapped before slamming the door in his face as baby Trunks giggled at the entire spectacle.

Shaking her head at Vegeta's petulant expression, Bulma then took note of the Root Nin sitting next to Sasuke.

"Hey Sasuke, you never told us you had a twin brother." Bulma pointed at Sai as Sasuke shook his head. Did people really think he and Sai really look that much alike?

"He's not my brother or any kin of mine. In fact this guy is bad news. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. He followed us here." Sasuke bluntly said.

"Wow…way to be direct and to the point, Sasuke." Shikamaru blinked.

"Are you a bad guy?" Bulma asked taking a step back while making sure to have a good hold on the infant in her arms.

"Ma'am I assure you that while I may serve a master these people don't approve of, I care very deeply for the village we all hail from." Sai "smiled".

Bulma gave him a skeptical look before deciding to give Sai a chance, deciding to be fair. Not to mention, she had a feeling even if Sai decided to try something her husband, Goku and Gohan would easily set him straight.

"Well okay….then I'm Bulma and this idiot here is my husband, Vegeta." Bulma decided to introduce herself as nearly all the ninja went wide-eyed with astonishment.

"NO WAY! HOW'D THIS DWARF GET A HOT PIECE OF ASS LIKE THAT!" Zaku yelled before he was immediately back-handed into a table behind him.

"You don't ever say anything about my height, boy." Vegeta growled as Zaku got up, rubbing his swollen jaw.

"…Noted…" Zaku muttered as Sakura pointed to the baby in Bulma's arms.

"And that's also your kid." Sakura smiled in recognition, remembering him from Gohan's memories.

"Yep. This is Trunks." Bulma held her baby son close as most of the ninja were even more confused.

"But wait, that's Trunks." Udon pointed at Future Trunks as Bulma's eyes widened.

"You have two sons that're named Trunks?" Hanabi tilted her head as Goku, Gohan and Bulma realized they were in deep crap and needed a good excuse to get themselves out of it.

"Oh uh….I decided to name my baby after his big, strong brother! But it's not like it's too uncommon! And more importantly, how about a tissue for your nose?" Bulma quickly changed the subject before things got too weird.

"Oh uh…thanks…" Udon thanked as Bulma handed him a Kleenix.

"Still two sons with the same name. Talk about weird." Choji chomped on a bag of chips as everyone decided to shrug off the entire situation.

"But how's it going Trunks? Are things going okay for you?" Bulma asked, not sure if the kids would believe this version of Trunks was from a formerly apocalyptic future.

"Yep, things are definitely going well, one hundred percent!" Trunks grinned, much to Bulma's joy as she was able to get the message that Trunks had dealt with the Android problem in his future.

Bulma's eyes then darted towards Mirai before her eyes widened in realization, remembering all the pictures Trunks would show her of him and his master, Gohan. However she thought better of it as to not speak up as to not have her sanity questioned.

Deciding to speak up, Sai cleared his throat.

"I see. Thanks for the hospitable welcome. I am Sai and I must ask Vegeta something." Sai turned to Vegeta.

"Yeah what it is, brat?" Vegeta crossed his arms as Sai's smile returned.

"You never told us you were married to an Okama!" Sai grinned as everyone paled.

"…..Okama?" Bulma still kept her sweet smile.

"Wait, you mean you're not one? You sure fooled me? You're a real woman?" Sai honestly questioned.

"Oh…" Gohan began.

"SHIT!" Goku and Trunks finished as Bulma calmly handed baby Trunks to her parents before….

"OKAMA!? GET OVER HERE SO I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT AN 'OKAMA' CAN DO!" Bulma had to be restrained by Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Gohan, Hinata, Goku, Trunks, Mirai, Shino, Shikamaru and Sasuke.

"Sai, that wasn't nice!" Sakura chided the ninja who laughed.

"Well I was merely stating facts." Sai shrugged.

"Oh my word." Dr. Briefs shook his head, not believing that the youths nowadays could be so uncouth. What happened to children who were respectful to their adults and superiors?

Bulma roughed shoved the others off of her as she flared her nostrils.

"Little asshole, I don't want him here!" Bulma spat as Vegeta's reaction was actually interesting.

Rather than being pissed that someone would insult his wife like most other people would, Vegeta snickered before nearly falling back laughing, nearly crying.

"He just insulted your woman and you're happy?" Naruto blinked.

"Yep that's dad for you." Trunks sighed as he whispered that to him.

"How I treat my woman is my business, boy." Vegeta shoved Naruto to the side before looking down at Sai.

"So you're Sai, huh? What can you do?" Vegeta questioned the pale Root nin who pulled out a scroll.

"Ninja Art, Super Beast Scroll!" Sai yelled as several animals such as mini lions erupted from the scroll, much to everyone's amazement.

"How the hell?" Mirai asked.

"He can bring drawings to life?" Trunks asked.

"How can he even?" Lee turned to Shikamaru who looked lost for words.

"Holy crap! Animated drawings!?" Gohan yelled.

"You should draw manga!" Goku remarked, "What?" at all the deadpan looks he received.

"Huh…so you can animate life into drawings and you them as weapons in battle?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes sir. I am the most skilled in my organization of Root." Sai confirmed.

"Interesting…" Vegeta then turned and left as Neji had a thought in his head.

"No…I must be crazy even thinking that idea…." Neji shook his head. Would it work?

"That's…kinda freaky." Tenten muttered with Bulma, Kakashi, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Dosu, Kin, Trunks and Mirai nodding.

"I think it's kinda cool!" Naruto remarked as Goku, Gohan, Zaku, Kiba, Choji and Lee nodding in agreement.

"Well I think we better get home before it gets too late." Goku said to Gohan.

"Right." Gohan said, holding his hand to Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi and Hanabi who took it before they were gone in a flash.

"And there they go…" Lee muttered.

Bulma crossed her arms, still upset over Sai's comment. SHE, who was voted the most beautiful in High School, being compared to an OKAMA?

"Oh boy…" Bulma groaned only wondering what the future could hold in store….


One Week Later…

After being introduced to Master Roshi, Sai was allowed to train alongside the ninja with the promise that he would do nothing to harm the fellow ninja and if he did anything out of line, he would swiftly be dealt with.

Although Roshi had his reservation about Sai, he decided not to be too harsh on the boy and give him a chance.

Currently Teams 8,10, Guy, Dosu, Sai and Karin were embarking on a very hard training session.

This being?

"WHY IS THIS THING CHASING US!?" Ino yelled as she and everyone else were being chased by a huge dinosaur as they carried Milk Jugs.

"Shouldn't they all be gone or something!?" Lee demanded more than asked.

"Over here!" Kin yelled, pointing to where they could hide until the Dinosaur could leave.

"Geesh, what was with that thing? It's been after us for the last three days." Choji gasped, never being scared of being eaten before now.

"That was nothing short of cumbersome. The reason being is that thing looked prehistoric and so it shouldn't even be around." Shino stated as everyone couldn't help but agree with him.

Honestly, to say the ninja were frustrated was an understatement. Rather than the traditional training they were used to, they had been tasked with plowing fields, being chased by bees, swimming away from hungry strikes, hunting for stones that had a weird Kanji on it and even delivering milk right at the crack of dawn. And the biggest detriment with all this? NO Chakra could be used…..

"I guess this is how we get stronger? Especially with all the weight we've had to carry?" Hinata asked.

"I guess…" Shikamaru shook his head as everyone looked unsure at Hinata's words. Though…if this old man was really Goku's master than maybe it worked?

"Either way we should all get up and continue the training." Neji said.

"Why isn't Team Seven doing this with us?" Kiba groaned.

"Apparently since they've done a lot of training with Gohan, they've decided to up their training or something." Zaku shrugged.

"Lucky bastards." Dosu muttered, though he was thankful that Goku made it able to where his back was normal again.

"Well either way, let's finish our training so Master Roshi won't get mad." Karin stated as everyone decided to do just that.


Yes that's right. Due to having a leg up above everyone else, Team Seven were allowed to train on their own. Gohan had decided to train with his father while Sasuke trained with Vegeta, Kakashi was shockingly training with the Future incarnation of Gohan, Sakura was surprisingly training with Trunks due to her showing him a darth maul sword she brought from back home and even more surprisingly, Naruto was training with Piccolo.

"Okay Sakura, I can see you're decent with that axe but you need to improve your form." Trunks said to the young girl.

"My form?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Improve your posture." Trunks said as he held literally adjust Sakura and her position.

"Oh wow, thanks!" Sakura blinked, unaware her posture was so flawed.

"It's nothing." Trunks smiled as his eyes went to the axe in her arm.

"Where did those come from?" Trunks asked as Sakura smiled.

"These were darth maul swords that came from my grandparents that were skilled Shinobi in their prime. Although my parents never decided to become ninja…" Sakura shrugged as she was meaning to ask why her parents never decided to become ninja. Maybe in a parallel universe her father may have even become Hokage!

"Although Trunks I have to wonder, where did you get your sword?" Sakura asked as Trunks marveled at his blade before giving a nostalgic smile at the helm of the blade.

"Heh…it was a gift…from my master Gohan…when I turned ten he gave it to me. It was actually a blade he got from his master Piccolo…" Trunks trailed off, unaware of everything he was saying.

"And your master Gohan is that 'Mirai' guy, right?" Sakura winked, catching Trunks hook, line and sinker.

"Yes…I mean no! I uh…" Trunks blinked realizing he was caught in a loop. How could this girl figure out his master was Gohan from the future? Does…she know he's from the future?

"And you're from the future too, right?" Sakura grinned as Trunks' face turned even paler.

"…How do you…" Trunks asked as Sakura laughed at Trunks' dumbfounded expression.

"Know? Gohan told me and my team about how you were from the future? Sent to save the past from a pair of crazy Androids. I think it was pretty noble on your part. Though with how he ended up in the world after all that Cell crap, I'm surprised you didn't end up in our world with an accident from that Time Machine." Sakura shrugged as Trunks could hardly believe his ears before he let out a nervous laugh.

"Well thanks. And I'm glad that things are going well for you and your friends. And although you're new with those blades, I think you can be a formidable warrior with proper training." Trunks smirked as Sakura grinned.

"I understand and thank you. Trunks Sensei!" Sakura beamed as Trunks blinked. He had spent that last decade being taught and now he was someone's teacher? My how times have really changed….

"Now, come at me!" Trunks instructed as Sakura donned a more acceptable pose.

"Right!" Sakura charged her new teacher.


At the exact same time, Sasuke was training with his new teacher as he dodged a hit that nearly blindsided him.

"Fire Style! Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as Vegeta shot his own attack at him.

"Galick Gun!" Vegeta yelled, shooting his technique at Sasuke which he narrowly avoided at the cost of his jutsu being obliterated.

Sasuke then threw a flurry of Shuriken at Vegeta which he easily blasted away with Ki blasts.

"Throwing toys at me? You brat!" Vegeta was about to wail on Sasuke before he suddenly found himself restrained by wire.

"The Shuriken were just a diversion!" Sasuke smirked as he readied handsigns, "Fire Style! Dragon Flame Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as a flurry of fire exploded from his mouth as it charged right at the Saiyan Prince.

"Not bad brat. However…." Vegeta smirked as he yelled, the flames disappearing as a shield of Ki appeared around him, dispelling the flames.

However as soon as Vegeta did, the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang through his ears.

"Another diversion?" Vegeta asked.

"CHIDORI!" Sasuke yelled, slamming Kakashi's original jutsu into the stomach of his armor plate, sending him skidding several meters backwards.

Vegeta was quick to get up on his feet, although rather than being enraged that he had fallen into a trap, he looked at the Uchiha survivor with an expression akin to respect?

"Hehe….well done boy. I can see you've gotten smarter since our first meeting." Vegeta chuckled, remembering their very first one-sided battle.

"Yeah well I realize I can't be the same one trick pony I can be at times." Sasuke admitted as Vegeta then noticed the Chokuto blade strapped across Sasuke's chest.

"Boy, what is with the sword on you?" Vegeta asked as Sasuke looked at the blade on his back before facing the Saiyan Prince.

"Well I was hoping for the chance of training with your son since he looks to be a competent swordsman." Sasuke said as Vegeta cut his eyes at Sasuke.

"Not 'looks like' he is, idiot." Vegeta chided Sasuke who rolled his eyes.

"Right." Sasuke snorted though he was careful not to be too rude with Vegeta as it was clear to both of them who the stronger of the two were. Although Sasuke couldn't help but internally laugh at the knowledge of someone as selfish as Vegeta actually defending someone else other than himself.

"I do wonder, you mentioned seeking revenge against someone who wronged you. Who was it? And no bullshitting around." Vegeta asked as Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Was Vegeta actually taking an interest in his life?

"Well…okay. The person I want to kill…is my older brother." Sasuke admitted.

Vegeta raised an obvious eyebrow as his thoughts trailed to his younger brother, Tarble. Although Tarble was such a softhearted reject that their father took pity on to the point where he sent him off to another planet, Vegeta never thought able killing him. At Vegeta's silence, Sasuke continued.

"I know, weird. But the reason being is because…for some reason I can't comprehend…he killed our entire clan as well as our parents…but for some reason….Itachi left me alive. Why? I have no idea but I will show him for making a fool out of and betraying me…to restore the honor of my clan…I will kill him!" Sasuke vowed as he glared at Sasuke with the Sharingan blazing in his eyes as Vegeta was outwardly stoic but on the inside he couldn't believe just how similar this Sasuke was to him….Both were men thrust into situations they had no control over and ended up losing their families as a result….Just like how Sasuke had the entire honor of the Uchiha Clan on his back, Vegeta was shouldered with the pride of the entire Saiyan race on his chest.

And it infuriated him to no end that his son and even Kakarot to some degree were the ones to kill Frieza whereas he was just turned into a toy that Frieza brutally tortured before eventually killing.

And the pure hatred in Sasuke's eyes reminded him of his reaction to Planet Vegeta's destruction thirty seven years ago….

A five year old Vegeta had just finished purging a planet. Currently he was eating a bag of rations while sitting around the corpses of his dead enemies.

"Another easy mission. Hmph." Vegeta scoffed. He knew that jerk Frieza was intentionally holding back on he and his teammates and were deliberately assigning them easy tasks in an effort to halt their progress. Speaking of his teammates, Raditz and Nappa were off conquering another world. Oh well, not like he cared.

It was then his scouter came to life, much to his annoyance. Couldn't those assholes at Frieza's base give him space for five minutes?

"Prince Vegeta! Do you copy sir?" A voice asked through Vegeta's scouter. Although annoyed, Vegeta was slightly relieved it wasn't that flamboyant Zarbon or that ugly asshole Dodoria.

"I'm here." Vegeta answered.

"Sir, unfortunate news from Lord Frieza, Planet Vegeta was just struck by a large asteroid and was destroyed." The voice informed him as Vegeta nearly dropped the food he was holding. That…was unexpected. His father….the King of Saiyans….killed? And gone by something as undignified as an Asteroid collision?

"….And…you're sure?" Vegeta asked after a long pause.

"Affirmative, sir. Lord Frieza sends his sympathies and regrets." The voice stated as Vegeta fought off the urge to scoff? Since when could that cold-hearted bastard be capable or any kind of kind-hearted emotion? It was obvious the informant and by proxy Frieza were simply patronizing him and it was taking all of Vegeta's mental discipline to go to where this man was and murder him in cold blood.

"As of now, you and the others on your crew are the only known survivors." The voice gravelly informed as Vegeta couldn't understand what it was he was feeling….just…what…was it?

"Oh really?" Vegeta asked, feeling surprisingly numb.

"Would you like to send a reply, sir?" The voice asked as Vegeta was going through an internal emotional battle right now.

"No…no reply…" Vegeta said as he ended the transmission as he stared into the dark, black sky for several seconds.

Planet Vegeta destroyed? And he, that brat Raditz, that oaf Nappa and his worthless brother were all that were left? The fact that the mighty Saiyan race were all but extinct turned Vegeta's stomach. Although…something smelled very funny about all this and it wasn't that ugly, rat bastard Dodoria.

An asteroid colliding with the planet at the exact same time all when all the Saiyans were on the planet. That sounded like too much of a coincidence and Vegeta didn't believe in coincidences. His mind then flashed to Frieza and his half assed "condolences".

Could Frieza actually have been the one responsible? He knew Frieza detested the Saiyans and treated them as animals, hence his name for them being "Monkeys" but why? The Saiyans were nothing but loyal to him! And this is the thanks they received?

Vegeta snarled as he clenched his fist before destroying a random tree in the distance as he slowly breathed, his anger barely contained.

His worthless little brother may have been alive but he didn't care about him. He was just some peasant oaf! Same with his father, too weak to save him from a life under Frieza's thumb.

But there was one person…he couldn't stop thinking of…..a woman….of almost uncontested beauty in the Universe….

"M-mother…" Vegeta muttered, his emotions out of whack. Before he knew it, he felt something wet drip from his eye.

"A tear? A tear!? What is wrong with me!?" Vegeta yelled, upset at showing such weakness. He was a coldhearted killer who showed no mercy to his enemies yet he was getting upset over the death of his mother, someone who was as weak as Raditz's mother, that weakling Gine. However…he couldn't deny it….years before being thrust under Frieza's thumb, his mother would often encourage and hold him…make him feel safe and warm…..actually protected….such a softhearted fool…he didn't even like her….yet he missed her….

Vegeta growled, angrily wiping his eyes before blasting the corpses of his fallen enemies to Otherworld before exhaling. He had no doubt Raditz was bawling his eyes out at the death of his mother, father and little brother. His father was such a low class clown while his mother was a soft-hearted reject who was banished to simply being a meat cutter while his brother had a power level of two. TWO! How could anyone be a Saiyan with that weak powerlevel!?

He sighed before looking to the moon as he blasted another tree to oblivion.

"I promise Frieza…I WILL kill you!" Vegeta vowed.

Vegeta snapped from his flashback before walking away from Sasuke.

"Tell me one thing, are there more ocular abilities in that planet of yours?" Vegeta asked.

"Yeah. There's the Byakugan which belongs to the famed Hyuga Clan of the Leaf Village. Their characters are pearlish white eyes. Although they claim to be the strongest in the Leaf." Sasuke scoffed at the last part as Vegeta's mind went to Neji and Hinata.

"I see. Well then, you need to work on your swordsman skills to. And I suppose you want Trunks to train you then?" Vegeta asked, much to Sasuke's surprise.

"How did you…" Sasuke blinked as Vegeta snorted.

"Your aura and face said it all, brat." Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"Well…" Sasuke tried speaking before Vegeta flew off.

"Come on, already!" Vegeta ordered.

"Right!" Sasuke said before flying also. Vegeta raised an eyebrow but he surmised Gohan taught the Uchiha brat how to fly.


Sakura and Trunks continued clashing their blades before he was able to actually send Sakura tumbling to the ground as the blades were knocked out of her hand.

"Nicely done Sakura. With more work, you'll be as good as me one day or maybe even better!" Trunks praised as Sakura couldn't stop the proud smile from forming along her lips.

"Heh, thanks. Hopefully I can be a stronger kunoichi that even Lady Tsunade!" Sakura declared as Trunks raised an eyebrow at the name.

"Tsunade?" Trunks questioned.

"A very powerful female ninja. The most powerful female in the ninja world." Sakura clarified as Trunks thought to himself. However he was shaken from his thoughts as he noticed Vegeta and Sasuke touch down.

"Father! Why is Sasuke here?" Trunks questioned.

"The brat wishes to seek tutelage with you and your swordsmanship." Vegeta bluntly stated as Trunks raised an eyebrow.

"You can use swords?" Trunks asked as Sasuke readied his Sharingan as he pulled the blade from his holster.

"Why don't we test each other out?" Sasuke suggested as Trunks smirked, eyeing the twelve year old.

"Let's." Trunks smirked, readying his own sword as he decided to ask the question on his mind, "I do have a question. What's with those eyes of yours? They changed from black to red?"

"It's my Sharingan. An ability exclusive to my clan, the Uchiha Clan. Think of it similar to the Super Saiyan Gohan has." Sasuke explained as Trunks raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? So Gohan told you about Super Saiyans? Well then, come at me!" Trunks stated as Sasuke vanished before coming right above Trunks.

"He's fast." Trunks noted as he leapt out of the way as Sasuke charged chakra and Ki to his blade.

"He's combining Ki and something else with his sword in order to power it up? Clever!" Trunks thought as Sasuke's blade was actually able to cut a few strands of his hair off as Trunks dodged another hit as he knocked his fist into Sasuke gut, knocking the last Uchiha back.

Making hand-signs, Sasuke held his hands to his mouth.

"Firestyle! Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled as he aimed a fireball right at Trunks.

Thinking fast, Trunks quickly made a series of motions with his hands before energy arose in the center of his hands.

"Burning Attack!" Trunks yelled, firing his technique at Sasuke's fireball, easily destroying the ball of fire.

If Trunks thought that was the end of it, he got a ready rude awakening as he noticed a long piece of metal flying his way.

"Windmill Shuriken!" Sasuke yelled.

"So the fire was just a diversion?" Trunks raised an eyebrow as he leapt out of the way before seeing a second Shuriken aimed at him.

Trunks fired off a Ki blast destroying it before noticing a pair of arms wrap tightly around him.

"What the?" Trunks asked as Sasuke smirked.

"How about we go for a drop?" Sasuke joked as he started to bring them down to the ground.

"FALCON DROP!" Sasuke yelled, although he was careful not to go too far as he definitely didn't want to break Trunks' neck.

Getting over his shock, Trunks was able to easily knock Sasuke off as he charged up his Ki, knocking Sasuke off of him before either of them got close to the ground.

Shaking his head from a dizzy spell, Sasuke turned to see a hand from Trunks.

"Good game, Sasuke. I can see you have some skills with your sword." Trunks gave Sasuke a friendly smile which he accepted.

"Thanks. Yeah when I was a kid I would train with one of my clan members, Shisui Uchiha from time to time." Sasuke explained.

"This Shisui sounds like a really strong guy. He around?" Trunks asked, curious to test this Shisui guy himself.

"No…he's gone." Sasuke explained as his eyes became dead cast. Trunks raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing the look in Sasuke's eyes….that look of sorrow and desolation….the same eyes he once had….

"Well anyways, I can help you improve your blade along with Sakura over there." Trunks gestured as Sasuke's eye widened as he hadn't noticed Sakura standing there.

"Sakura? You have blades?" Sasuke pointed to the blades in Sakura's hands.

"Eh. I found them laying around in my attic. Apparently they belonged to my grandparents." Sakura shrugged as she looked at the blades as she noticed they had the same insignia on the back of Sakura's dress.

"So the brats are getting their training, yay for them." Vegeta rolled his eyes much to Sakura and Sasuke's annoyance. Why would Sasuke ever want this asshole to train him?

"Now I assume since you brats are acquainted with Gohan, you knew of the Android threat that once plagued us?" Vegeta asked.

"Yeah." Sasuke confirmed with Sakura nodding.

"And I assume he told you two of the brats of Trunks' origins and whereabouts?" Vegeta questioned as Sasuke and Sakura nodded again.

"Well now that's out of the way, I assume your mission back to your time was successful, yes?" Vegeta crossed his arms, expecting nothing but the best from his son.

"Yes…" Trunks smiled as he closed his eyes, remembering the exhilaration he felt upon finally conquering the demons that plagued his world for nearly two decades.

After returning back home and reuniting with his mother, he flew off after hearing sightings of the Androids, finally ready to make the monsters that brought Hell to his world finally pay. Seeing that 17 was able to shoot an old man with a gun, he shot a KI blast that forced the Android away from the injured old man.

"What was that!?" 17 exclaimed in shock as Trunks landed right in front of him and his sister. They raised an eyebrow as they realized something was different about Trunks from the last time they had seen him, he was taller and more muscular.

"Oh it's you. I didn't know if you were even still alive. Glad to see you've managed to keep yourself in good health." 17 smirked as Trunks glared at the Android, no mood for any more of his crap.

"It's over. It all stops here," Trunks spat as 17 put his gun away.

"It does, huh? Trunks, don't you remember what happened last time? Nothing stops here, except for you." 17 jeered at Trunks.

"How rude. What an arrogant little punk." 18 glared at Trunks, already in a bad mood that 17 destroyed the clothing store she was planning on raiding and destroying as Trunks smirked. Arrogant? Boy did she have another thing coming? Real soon…she better enjoy what little time she has left.

"That's it! I want him dead! It's a matter of principle!" 18 vowed, thinking the blood of Trunks would be more than enough to make her satisfied.

"I don't mind, consider it done. But look sis, we'll be blowing weeks of fun." 17 said in mock sadness as Gohan and Trunks were merely toys they kept around until they viewed them as an annoyance.

"I don't care, I need this. I've been in a bad mood all day." 18 smirked, readying to end Trunks the same way she and her brother ended Gohan all those years ago.

Trunks merely glared at the two, ready to bring justice to his world for all the innocent people slain in their psychotic quest for seeking a cheap thrill.

18 attempted to blast him which he easily dodged before appearing right behind her, thanks to all the training he received in the past, he was able to discern how predictable and sluggish the Androids truly were. It was only through their limitless energy and tendency to gang up on people was what gave them the edge on all the previous Z-Fighters. Thankfully, he was now stronger than them.

"Hey, he's behind you!" 17 yelled in warning as Trunks' fist instantly slammed into 18's jaw, sending her flying through a building. While their last encounter ended with them literally toying with his fists, he knew they felt that.

18 growled, even more slowly due to not being as focused because of her anger as he easily dodged her attacks before viciously kicking her 18 towards her brother, as 17 was completely perplexed. To say he was shocked was an understatement. And Trunks couldn't stop the feeling of amusement building in his chest, for once, the Androids were on the defensive, unaware of the end that was slowly waiting for them.

"Man he's changed…I don't know how but he's good." 17 muttered, realizing Trunks hadn't just gotten a growth spurt as 18 stood up as she was literally trembling in rage.

"I hate you!" 18 spat, as she truly hated Trunks as he scoffed.

"You hate the fact that you're powerless to stop me. That you're completely outmatched. Well imagine feeling the way you do now all the time like the people of this planet do! Fools! How do you think my master Gohan felt when you ganged up on him in the rain and he had no way out!? Well now it's your turn. I hope you enjoy it." Trunks stated coldly ready to take revenge on all the people slain by these monsters; Piccolo and the other Z-fighters, his father, Gohan…..

"You've improved but you can't beat us." 17 arrogantly smirked.

"17, let's kill this punk!" 18 shouted as they both nodded before charging Trunks. It was then Trunks realized they weren't holding back and giving him their full strength which made him smirk. They were nothing compared to the Androids of the past. They were merely fools on borrowed time.

Trunks dodged their reckless charge as he appeared behind 17 and decked him across the face before deflected a blast with ease from 18 before flying until he was mere inches from her face.

18 could barely register shock as she heard the following words:

"THIS IS FOR GOHAN!"

Trunks obliterated her, leaving absolutely no trace behind as 17 was frozen still in shock.

As Trunks turned his eyes towards the Android, inwardly he smirked as he had seen something in the Android he had never before seen, fear. It was the same look millions of people on Earth had experienced before being cruelly snuffed out and to have the monsters that caused so much pain receive their much comeuppance was nothing short of grand.

"You…you…killed her…" 17 muttered, not believing his sister was actually gone. One of the hellions that turned the Earth into a playground for nearly twenty years was actually dead….It was then he realized his death was all but assured.

Trunks also couldn't help but notice sadness in his eyes as he was able to see that even if he and his sister detested all humans, they still loved and cared for each other.

Despite his hatred for them, he couldn't stop the pity he felt for him. But it was too late for this Android. While the Androids of the past have some hope of being redeemed, these were far too gone over the moral event horizon.

"Kid! That was one mistake you won't live to regret!" 17 growled as Trunks snorted. ALL the innocent people these monsters have killed and it's only when they're on the receiving end is when they draw a line? Pathetic.

"You think this life is all about you? What about the others? The ones you two killed!" Trunks yelled, ready to end this as he flash stepped and kicked 17 in the chin, sending him tumbling towards the ground. Before 17 could even open an eye, Trunks destoyed him with a simple blast, ending the life of the remaining Android.

It felt like forever when he stared at the crater before a smile broken across his face.

FINALLY. FINALLY…the Nightmare was over!

As Trunks opened his eyes after recounting his victory, he couldn't help but smile at the expressions he received.

Sasuke and Sakura looked very impressed whereas Vegeta….

To say he looked proud was an understatement.

"Hmph." Was all Vegeta said before he flew off.

"I…will never get that guy." Sakura shook her head.

"Yeah." Sasuke agreed as Trunks merely smiled.


"I must say, you're pretty good, Kakashi, right?" Mirai asked.

"Indeed. And let's just kill the elephant in the room, you're Gohan from the Future just like Trunks is from the future, correct?" Kakashi asked as Mirai's eyes widened.

"How did you-" Mirai was barely able to gasp out as Kakashi smirked under his mask.

"Well for one you look so much like Gohan down to your haircuts. Not to mention your mannerisms are the same with you being a bit more hardened. And also, you seemed to scramble until you chose the first name that came to your mind when Karin asked for your name." Kakashi explained as "Mirai" sighed.

"Well…I guess you're right." Mirai sighed.

"But if you want to, I won't tell a soul though I have a feeling my team knows. And for clarification my team is Gohan, the girl with freakish color hair, the kid that looks like a brooding emo at first glance and the short, blonde kid with the "kill me" orange outfit." Kakashi grinned as Mirai sighed, having a feeling that was the case and laughed slightly at Kakashi's descriptions for his team.

"Well…okay. Thanks." Mirai sighed.

"It's nothing." Kakashi chuckled as Mirai decided to ask what was on his mind.

"So you know Ki?" Mirai asked, remembering how Kakashi was able to fire a Ki blast earlier.

"Indeed. Gohan taught my team and I several months back and recently I've been finding ways to add it to my Chidori." Kakashi said before showing Mirai the jutsu.

"Amazing…it sounds like birds chirping." Mirai crossed his arms, obviously impressed with the jutsu.

"Why thank you. I came up with it back when I was thirteen." Kakashi smiled, remembering his times with Obito and Rin.

"So…Shinobi huh? You've been one since you were thirteen?" Mirai asked.

"Actually since I was five. You see, the hidden villages breed soldiers as young as toddlers." Kakashi explained as Mirai's eyes widened. How could one world be so….corrupt as to have child soldiers? He was one taken against his will and he wouldn't wish that on any child…It was what his timeline iteration of the Z-Fighters fought to prevent.

"My god…was your world always a craphole?" Mirai asked as Kakashi donned a sad expression.

"Yes…" Kakashi replied before telling the future version of his student the events of the First Great Ninja war he heard about as a young boy, the events of the second ninja war and finally the Third Ninja War which resulted in the deaths of his teammates, his sensei and even his father who took his life after a mission went awry…

To say Mirai was disgusted was an understatement.

"But it's okay. Because I have new precious people to protect…" Kakashi smiled as he thought of Gohan, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura. "And I assume you do to, right?"

"Yes…" Mirai replied, as he thought of Trunks, his mother, Bulma and the rest of the Z-Fighters, even Vegeta.


"Explosive Demon Wave!" Piccolo fired a wave at the Nine Tails container as he made a hand sign.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as three clones were summoned to his side as one got close to his hand.

"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he was to nearly catch Piccolo in the chest with his attack as he was able to grab Naruto's wrist at the last second. Although this only served as a diversion as Piccolo felt the air grow warm around him.

"What in the?" Piccolo asked, feeling the energy akin to a demon.

"Let's see how you deal with this! Naruto!" Naruto yelled as he was actually able to uppercut Piccolo kick a kick.

Before Piccolo knew anything, another Naruto appeared over him.

"Uzumaki Barrage!" Naruto yelled, slamming his foot into Piccolo's skull, sending him flying to the ground, though he was able to regain his mobility as he landed on his feet.

"Heh, not brat, kid." Piccolo smirked as Naruto returned the smirk.

"Heh, you ain't seen nothing yet!" Naruto grinned as he powered down his Ki and Nine Tails' chakra.

"I take it Gohan's been training you? I mean if you've gotten so close to him then…" Piccolo surmised.

"Yep! Gohan's my best friend. He's helped me out more than anyone in my life." Naruto admitted as his eyes grew fond as Piccolo's own eyes softened.

"You too, huh? That kid is really something…" Piccolo muttered, more to himself even though Naruto clearly heard him.

"We're both alike, you know…." Naruto admitted.

"What makes you say that?" Piccolo asked as Naruto's eyes softened harder.

"Normally I wouldn't tell this to just anyone but since you're so close to Gohan I guess I can trust you!" Naruto stated as Piccolo gave Naruto his undivided attention.

"Twelve years ago, there was a nine tailed demon that attacked the Leaf Village and many people were killed when it attacked. However, the Fourth Hokage intervened and sealed the beast in a newborn baby…" Naruto explained as Piccolo was able to put two and two together as his eyes widened in realization.

"That monster was you, then?" Piccolo asked as Naruto looked down.

"….Yeah…..because of that beast my whole town treated me like crap ever since I could remember…..I had to deal with store owners kicking me out, parents keeping me from hanging out with their kids, kids either outright rejecting me or them making excuses not to hang out with me and I'd occasionally run into the person who would pity me and act like my friend when in reality they were just laughing at me and everyone treating me like I don't exist…" Naruto teared up as even though things were so much better for him now…the pain of his past still hurt…

Sensing this, Piccolo put a comforting hand on his head. Smiling in thanks, Naruto slowly removed Piccolo's hand from his cranium as he continued.

"But then Gohan literally popped up in my life….He was the first person to ever show me genuine kindness and was the person who accepted me for who I was. People think I want this training so I can be stronger and become Hokage. That's partially true but my real reason is so I can get strong to protect Gohan like he's done for me so many times in the past. If I ever lost him I don't know what I'd do…..If he died…..He's my best friend and I won't let anyone ever hurt him again like that Cell prick did!" Naruto declared as Piccolo blinked before remembering how alone and full of hate he was…before Gohan came into his life….

"Gohan told me how you were literally created to kill Goku but then he changed you too with just how good of a person he was. It's funny, we're both monsters but Gohan really had an impact on us, didn't he?" Naruto smiled as Piccolo smiled back.

"I'm glad you feel that way….Is that why you wanted me to train you?" Piccolo asked.

"Yep! Because I feel you can get stronger especially with those who relate to you….we're all the same…you…me….Gaara…" Naruto's mind wondered as Piccolo raised a non-existent eyebrow.

"Gaara?" Piccolo questioned as Naruto laughed, realizing Piccolo would be clueless as to who Gaara was.

"Yeah. He's someone like me who had a Tailed Beast in me. We fought but we realized he's just like me. I haven't seen him since we left the Ninja World. Hopefully he's gotten better now!" Naruto said as he was looking forward to seeing Gaara again.

"I see…." Piccolo smirked before powering up.

"Your nine tails power kind of reminded me of my Kaioken ability." Piccolo surmised before a red aura flared around him.

"Whoa! That's just like Bushy Brows' Eight Gates ability!" Naruto thought as Piccolo once again raised a non-existant eyebrow.

"Bushy Brows?" Piccolo asked.

"Hey! Can you train Lee too? I'd love to see how strong he'd get if he got the Kaioken ability too!" Naruto said, as he wanted to have a proper rematch against Lee with all the training they could receive though if Naruto had Kaioken, he had a feeling he would win this time.

"Lee…wait you mean that weird kid with the green body suit? Uh…" Piccolo paled, remembering the hug he and Guy gave him….that was definitely a nightmare for the reincarnation of the Demon King.

"C'mon! Plus he could just come here himself and harass you." Naruto shrugged as Piccolo paled even harder, realizing Naruto was right.

"Well…okay…fine…" Piccolo reluctantly sighed as Naruto smiled, excited at the thought of getting a proper rematch against Lee.

Unlike in the Chunin Exams, Naruto would definitely win!


"Kamehameha!"

"Masenko-Ha!"

The two beams collided from two Super Saiyans; these being the father son duo of Goku and Gohan who had decided to test how strong the other had gotten in their time being separated from each other.

"Nicely done Gohan. You've definitely gotten stronger since you've been gone." Goku smirked.

"Heh, that's nothing. Take a look at this! SUMMONING JUTSU!" Gohan yelled before summoning none other than Spyro!

"Whoa! That's so cool! You can summon Dragons!" Goku remarked with sparkly eyes as Gohan giggled.

"Hi there! I'm Spyro!" Spyro waved as Goku raised an eyebrow as the name sounded oddly familiar….

"Alright, Spyro! Show dad what we've been working on!" Gohan nodded to Spyro.

"Right!" Spyro yelled as he puffed in his chest before fireballs came out of his mouth, launching towards Goku.

"Fireball, Fire Star Jutsu!" Spyro yelled, the balls transforming into stars which Goku dodged.

However as Goku dispelled the flames, he noticed how one of Spyro's hands had turned as black as iron as Gohan readied a fist before inflaming it with Ki.

"Dragon Claw Attack!" Gohan and Spyro yelled as they were actually able to land a hit in Goku's abdomen, sending him flying several meters back as he was able to barely land on his feet.

"Wow! That really knocked the wind outta me!" Goku slightly laughed as Gohan and Spyro snickered.

"Thanks! It's a combo attack we came up with while training together one day!" Spyro grinned.

"And you can really summon Dragons? Heh, reminds me of Shenron…" Goku smiled in nostalgia, remembering the first time he met him.

"And Icarus too…" Gohan smiled fondly as he wondered where his favorite childhood friend was before dispelling his jutsu.

"You know son, I was thinking...while you were gone I taught Piccolo, Krillin and the others the Kaioken." Goku said as Gohan looked to his father in surprise.

"Seriously?" Gohan asked.

"Yep. And I was thinking...since you're back now...I can teach you it? If you're interested?" Goku suggested as Son Gohan was definitely more than interested!

"Of course I am!" Gohan grinned.

"Glad to hear it, champ." Goku rubbed his forehead with a smile.

As Goku and Gohan powered down from their training for the day, Goku motioned for Gohan to follow him.

"Okay, so what's up?" Gohan asked as Goku sighed as he donned an expression Gohan had rarely before seen from his father. Sadness?

"Son…I'm sorry…" Goku began as Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry? For what?" Gohan asked as Goku looked at his some empathetically.

"It wasn't your fault. Against Cell…" Goku began as Gohan looked down. While he had gotten over the events of that day, it was still a day he would never forget….

"Dad…" Gohan tried to argue but Goku shook his head.

"It's true….Piccolo was right….I should have stepped in earlier but I had so much faith in you…but I nearly got you killed because I was being too arrogant….I know…you want to be seen as someone else in my shadow right?" Goku questioned with Gohan's silence being his answer.

"However if I would've just been serious…none of this would have happened. I wish I could've been able to beat Cell but I couldn't…." Goku explained much to Gohan's confusion.

"Believe it or not, I actually achieved Super Saiyan 2 myself one day while you were resting." Goku said as Gohan looked at his father in disbelief.

"You did?" Gohan asked as Goku nodded.

"However…I could only sustain it for several seconds before I nearly blacked out…the reason?" Goku tapped his heart.

"That virus! I should've known it would've done more damage to you!" Gohan's eyes widened as Goku was grateful that his son was too exhausted too sense him nearly dying.

"But does that mean?" Gohan began as Goku chuckled.

"Believe it or not, it's the equivalent of a newborn's heart. Dying in that explosion gave me a new body. My original body and heart are gone forever." Goku said as Gohan sighed in relief, as he wouldn't have to worry about his father having nasty side effects from that horrible heart virus.

"The main reason I'm telling you all this is because…I plan on being a better father to you…as well as being a dependable father to Goten. You both deserve it…The last thing I wanna be is a…terrible father…" Goku murmured before feeling a pair of arms embrace his waist side. He looked down to see the source was his son.

"Dad…I've never thought of you as being terrible. You've always been so gentle and kind…" Gohan began as Goku felt tears prick his eyes.

"Gohan…" Goku's eyes welded with tears as Gohan continued.

"You're nothing but the light to my darkness! My own guardian angel!" Gohan smiled, despite the tears trailing down his face as Goku couldn't stop the tears falling down his own eyes.

"Gohan…I promise…to protect Chichi, you and Goten…" Goku smiled before embracing his son as Mirai flew towards Mount Paozu, smiling at the sight as he remembered all the times his father would hold him.

"Hey, Gohan!" Goku smiled as Mirai touched down.

"So you knew all along?" Mirai asked as Goku grinned.

"You think I wouldn't know my own son?" Goku laughed as Gohan smiled at Mirai.

"And you know about our…connection?" Mirai asked Gohan who chuckled.

"Well we both have the same Ki only yours feels…bigger." Gohan laughed sheepishly as Mirai returned the laugh at the description his younger self gave.

"So son….I know….how you fought against the Androids…Trunks told me." Goku said as Mirai sighed.

"Yeah….I let the world down…but at least Trunks was able to succeed where I failed." Mirai half-smiled as Goku put his hand on his future son's shoulder.

"Hey don't say that! You had the odds against you for thirteen years and you went down on your feet like a true warrior. For that I have nothing but pride for you, Gohan." Goku smiled as Mirai felt tears pricking his eyes before quickly blinking them back.

"Thank you…father…for everything." Mirai hugged his father as Goku returned the hug.

"And thank you for protecting the world as long as you could." Goku smiled at his son with pride as Mirai wiped the tears returning his eyes.

"So I saw you were able to achieve Super Saiyan 2?" Goku asked, wanting to change the subject before things got too melodramatic.

"Yes! You see, I trained with your alternate self along with the other versions of the Z-Fighters and even participated in an otherworld tournament!" Mirai exclaimed as Goku and Gohan's eyes widened at the phenomenon.

"An otherworld tournament?" Goku asked."

"They actually have a tournament in the Afterlife?" Gohan blinked as Mirai laughed, having the exact same reaction when he first learned about it after he died.

"Yep. And let me tell you something, dad, you got so strong in the Afterlife!" Mirai praised as Goku raised an eyebrow.

"I did?" Goku pondered.

"Yep. You achieved a form called…Super Saiyan 3." Mirai explained as both present Goku and Gohan looked at Gohan's future self in shock.

"There's a 3rd form!?" Gohan blinked.

"Yep! And let me tell you, once it's achieved, it's a total powerhouse! Your strength and speed are maximized four times the power of your Super Saiyan 2 form and four hundred times that of your base form!" Mirai clarified as both Goku and Gohan were flabbergasted at the information they were presented with.

"….Seriously?" Gohan asked.

"Yep." Mirai confirmed.

"Were you able to get it?" Goku asked as Mirai shook his head "no".

"No. I wasn't dead as long as you were." Mirai explained as Goku frowned slightly. He really wanted to see Super Saiyan 3 in action. Oh well, he was sure he and the other Saiyans could achieve it someday.

"I wonder if there's a Fourth Super Saiyan form…" Gohan muttered as Mirai shrugged.

"Who knows? Also in case you're wondering, the other Z-Fighters were revived alongside me after Trunks defeated the Androids…well everyone except…" Mirai trailed on.

"Me. Yeah…I know since I died of natural causes….I can't come back…." Goku sadly smiled.

"Right…" Mirai sighed as Gohan looked to his dad.

"Hey dad? Can I talk with future me for a little while?" Gohan asked as Goku smiled, knowing his son would want to talk with his future self. After all, who wouldn't pass up the chance of getting to know an alternate future version of themselves?

"Sure son. Chichi will probably want me to help her with dinner, anyways." Goku laughed before going inside the house.

"So…I hear you're a ninja, right?" Mirai asked, sitting down on a rock near the outside of the house as Gohan smiled.

"Yep! Wanna hear about all the Adventures I had?" Gohan smiled.

"Totally." Mirai smiled as he happily listened as Gohan animatedly recounted all the tales he experienced in the world of the Shinobi….


However, at Kame House, the atmosphere was far from being pleasant.

"That's it! To hell with this!" Zaku yelled, throwing his turtle shell off.

"Zaku, what're you doing?" Tenten asked.

"I've had it with this crap! Old man! Get your ass out here!" Zaku yelled as Roshi made his way outside, a little annoyed he was distracted from watching his favorite television program.

"We've been doing all this bullshit for a freaking week! And you know what!? We're sick of it!" Zaku yelled. Although the others were being silent, they were wondering what the point of these seemingly lames training tasks.

"Son, like I said, this is necessary for your training." Roshi remarked as Zaku snarled, raising a hand.

"Zaku, you idiot! Stop it!" Dosu chided his teammate.

"Shut up! I'm sick of this old man and his stupid ass training! SLICING SOUND WAVE!" Zaku yelled as Roshi seemingly was hit by Zaku's jutsu.

To say everyone was stunned was an understatement.

"Zaku…what the hell did you…" Kin's jaw clenched in anger.

"Do?" The voice of Roshi asked through the air before he gave Zaku a solid chop to his back.

Zaku grunted in pain before he fell to the ground in pain.

"Now do you all see why this training is necessary? All of this isn't just me working you for the hell of it!" Roshi reminded everyone as Zaku pouted.

"Okay fair enough…" Choji muttered as everyone else nodded in understanding.

"Great! Now remember…..find me a nice girl!" Roshi giggled perversely as everyone groaned. Well mostly everyone as the old master was smacked with a power pole from Tenten and narrowly dodged needles from Kin.


Soon two weeks passed since the group of ninja had made their way into the ninja world as everyone had definitely increased in strength along with all sorts of bonds being formed. While it was a bit harder for the boys to warm to Dosu and Zaku, the girls and Karin had formed a friendship with Kin after a week after they learned she wasn't so bad after all…just misled. And not to mention she was friendlier than her teammates.

With their training done for the day, the girls of the group all lounged in the room Bulma gave for them. The girls watched a movie on one of the TVs in the room which was a very entertaining film about a group of Acapella College Girls who formed their own Acapella Group and traveled across the country, competing in National competitions.

"Hey, look at them…think we can be like that?" Karin asked.

"Haha, seriously? Us, an Acapella whatever group like them?" Kin snorted.

"I can't imagine us wearing Flight Attendant outfits like them." Tenten giggled.

"But we could seriously do that while we're in the world! Think about it! A group of all female singers! I think we'd be cool!" Ino gleamed.

"Seriously?" Hinata asked as that didn't sound too bad of an idea.

"I think that sounds kinda cool! I used to wanna do that as a kid!" Sakura grinned, eating popcorn.

"Okay….but what could be our name?" Kin asked.

The girls all pondered as Hinata raised her hand with a smile.

"How about Kunoichi Rumble?" Hinata suggested as the girls stared at her for a couple of seconds before….

"Yeah!"

"Sounds good!"

"You're a genius Hinata!" were the following responses Hinata received.

Sasuke made his way to the girls' corridors of Capsule Corp as Bulma had told him of an interesting idea, since the group were here, rather than spending all their time training, Gohan could show them across the City since they were here as essentially tourists.

"Hey guys?" Sasuke asked before raising his eyes as he looked at the scene before him.

All the girls were giggling as they were all in a pillow fight of sorts.

"What is going on here?" Sasuke asked as Ino turned to Sasuke smiled.

"Pillow Fighting!" Ino laughed before pelting Sasuke in the face with one.

Sasuke's brow twitched before he regained his composure.

"Bulma wanted us to take a break from training and go see the city tomorrow." Sasuke simply said as the girls cheered.

"I say let's do it!" Hinata laughed.

"Yeah, after two weeks of training, we deserve a little break." Tenten winked.

"So yeah let's do it, thanks Sasuke!" Sakura beamed as Sasuke nodded before leaving, leading the girls to continue their pillow fight.

Sasuke then made his way to the boys' room to relay them the same information which they agreed to, albeit some shrugged but still.

"Now, why don't we get some sleep before tomorrow?" Shikamaru yawned before turning over. However he was soon pelted in the back of his head with a pillow from Shikamaru.

"You've been sleeping all day, asshole!" Kiba growled as Shikamaru snarled.

"You bastard…." Shikamaru pelted his pillow at Kiba, however it hit Zaku in his head.

"Hey, don't throw a pillow at me, you asshole!" Zaku growled as he tried nailing Kiba before nailing Naruto accidently.

"Hey, don't bring me into this shit!" Naruto got into Zaku's face.

"Wanna say that again shortie!?" Zaku spat.

"Now, now, let's all get al-"Choji tried reasoning as Zaku threw his pillow at Choji's bag, sending it to the floor.

"Oh shove it, fat ass." Zaku jeered as a fire lit in Choji's eyes.

"DON'T CALL ME FAT!" Choji growled as he pelted a pillow at Zaku, only to hit Lee.

"Hey watch it!" Lee yelled.

"Oh shut up!" Dosu growled before he got a pillow from Sai.

"All's fair in love and war." Sai laughed. After two weeks, everyone was starting to slowly warm to him, at least somewhat anyways, as he was keeping his promise in not starting anything.

"Okay that is IT!" Dosu growled before the boys' ended their pillow fight and got into a straight fist fight.

Or most boys as Neji made his way to the training room where Vegeta once was. His purpose? To get the Saiyan Prince to train him like he did Sasuke. He had a feeling Vegeta would help him improve his Byakugan usage.

As he neared the room, before Neji could knock on the door, the door opened as Vegeta looked down on Neji.

"What is it, brat?" Vegeta spat as Neji exhaled slowly before speaking.

"I'd like for you to train me. If you would?" Neji asked as Vegeta scoffed.

"And what's in it for me?" Vegeta asked as Neji activated his Byakugan.

"This is the Dojutsu of my clan, the Hyuga Clan." Neji explained as Vegeta's eyes widened slightly, remembering Sasuke talking about the Hyuga Clan. Although he hmphed as he crossed his arms.

"Simply having fancy eyes won't earn you my training b-"Vegeta was about to snort as Neji fired his "Gentle Cannon" he used against Gohan in the Chunin Exams, singing off one of Vegeta's hair, making him raise an eyebrow.

"Good enough?" Neji smirked as Vegeta shook his head. How did he get so soft as to allow himself to train all of these kids? Where did he go wrong?

"Meet me outside in thirty minutes. And I don't want to hear any moaning and groaning, got it? I won't be wiping your ass brat." Vegeta spat before walking away as Neji huffed.

"Little short midget. Acting like he's so bad when he's barely taller than me…" Neji muttered to himself, hoping Vegeta didn't hear him.

The sudden Ki flare behind Vegeta confirmed his worst fears.

"Meet me outside in five minutes so I can beat that disrespect out of you, boy!" Vegeta snarled as he walked out of the building as Neji gulped.

Just what did the Hyuga get himself into?


The next day Gohan decided to take his friends into Satan City as they marveled at all the futuristic and modern day sights as compared to the traditional architectural buildings of the ninja world.

"Once again…this world will never cease to amaze me." Kin said.

"No kidding." Karin agreed as everyone came across a statue of Mr. Satan, giving the peace sign in the heart of the city.

"And this is Mr. Satan, one of the 'heroes' of the world." Gohan exclaimed with a laugh as everyone was able to pick up on the sarcasm in his voice as Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all rolled their eyes, remembering the shallow, idiotic man who took Gohan's glory and honor. How Gohan wasn't pissed was beyond them?

"He looks like a total scrub." Dosu rolled his visible eye.

"For once I agree with you." Shikamaru said.

However…

"Gohan! Hey Gohan!" A familiar voice said as everyone turned to see it was none other than one of Gohan's old friends.

"Well I'll be….Krillin!" Gohan grinned as Krillin walked over to the group

"Hey!" Krillin grinned. In the last near year, Krillin hadn't changed much from the last time Gohan had seen him.

"Long time no see!" Krillin greeted his old friend.

"Yeah I'm glad to see you're okay!" Gohan happily grinned.

"Me? You kidding!? Krillin grinned before he took note of the other people around Gohan.

"Oh? So who're these guys? Your ninja friends?" Krillin raised an eyebrow.

"This is Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Dosu, Kin, Zaku, Karin, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon and Sai." Gohan introduced.

As they all respectively introduced themselves, Sai however was silent.

"Excuse me but where's your nose?" Sai bluntly asked as the ninja sans Team Seven looked and saw that he indeed had no nose!

"What the?" Shikamaru asked.

"How do you breathe?" Karin asked as Krillin sheepishly laughed.

"Through…my mouth?" Krillin awkwardly answered though people looked unconvinced.

"So you're a midget and have no nose? Talk about a total freakshow!" Zaku laughed, much to Krillin's comical depression.

"Well that's kinda mean…" Krillin looked down as most of the ninja glared at Zaku before sighing.

"So what brings you around here?" Kakashi asked.

"Oh just getting some grocery shopping done. After all there's…a certain person I love…" Krillin looked down blushing as the girls all "cooed".

"So who is it?" Kiba grinned as Krillin blushed harder.

"Wait, you mean 18, right!?" Gohan asked as Krillin was quick to smack Gohan's skull.

"Shut up!" Krillin spat.

"Wait 18?" Choji asked.

"The hell kinda name is that?" Dosu asked as Krillin rubbed his head bashfully.

"Well the last time I saw her was a week ago and she kinda blew me off…hehe…" Krillin laughed.

"Oh I see…friend zone, huh?" Lee asked as Krillin nearly fell over.

"What!? No!" Krillin argued.

"You're the last person to be talking about friend zoning." Naruto deadpanned as Krillin regained his composure.

"Well in any case, have you heard? They're hosting the World Tournament again! In two months!" Krillin informed Gohan.

"Wait, seriously!?" Gohan smiled, remembering all the stories his father would tell him.

"Yep." Krillin confirmed.

"Wait, World Tournament? What's that?" Neji asked, still a bit sore from the "punishment" Vegeta gave him.

"It's similar to the Chunin Exams where warriors all over the world compete to be the best." Gohan explained as Naruto and Lee immediately cut eyes at each other.

"Man…I remember the good old days…" Krillin smiled in nostalgia as memories of the old world tournaments he fought in radiated through his mind.

"Wait you actually fought in the World Tournament?" Tenten asked.

"That's right! I actually fought Gohan's dad, Goku. Although….he beat me." Krillin laughed with slight embarrassment.

"The father of a monster is an even bigger one." Udon muttered as Hanabi, Konohamaru and Moegi agreed whole-heartedly.

"Although while he beat him in the fighting I beat him in the girls' department since I didn't too bad with the ladies!" Krillin laughed as there was a blank silence, one that he noticed immediately.

"I mean before 18 I remember you being with that Maron girl." Gohan said as Krillin sighed, knowing his "cool" cover was blown.

"Whatever happened to her anyways?" Gohan asked as Krillin sighed again.

"From what I know she apparently came to Kame House during the whole Android debacle and left according to Chiaotzu." Krillin whispered to Gohan, not sure whether his friends would believe the whole story of Red Ribbon army androids, especially with one of the being his wife.

"That theme sounds so familiar…" Hanna said.

"…..We…Are?" Konohamaru tilted his head as Krillin answered it before shutting it.

"Uh oh! Gotta go, the lady's waiting." Krillin said before turning to everyone.

"Well it was nice meeting all of you!" Krillin smiled before leaving.

"Bye!" Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon waved.

"It was nice meeting you Krillin!" Hinata waved as she watched Krillin leave.

"He seems nice." Kakashi smiled.

"He is. But why don't we do some exploring of the city?" Gohan suggested.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Karin smiled.

As the teens explored the city, the sound of cheering got everyone's attention.

"What's that?" Gohan asked.

"Over there!" Ino pointed as a man stood in the center of everyone.

As the group got closer, they noticed the man was a rather goofy looking man with an afro.

"…Who…is that bozo?" Konohamaru bluntly asked.

"Oh no…" Naruto and Sakura grimaced as Sasuke pinched his brow.

"YEAH! THE HERO OF THE WORLD HERCULE SATAN CAN OVERTAKE ANYTHING!" Hercule yelled as he broke a rock with his bare hands as the crowd around him went wild.

"YES! MR SATAN IS THE HERO OF THE WORLD!

"HERCULE!"

"HERCULE FOR KING!"

The ninjas all deadpanned at the sight of the "World's Hero".

"…Seriously?" Kin asked.

"All that cause he broke a rock?" Choji blinked.

"Big deal." Kiba snorted.

As Gohan and Kakashi sighed; Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all glared at the man, they couldn't stop feeling angry at the fact that he took the credit from their friend. While their friend went through literal hell over the Cell Games, this assclown sat on his ass and took all the credit.

"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled, getting the attention of everyone.

"Oh? And just what's gotten into you, young man?" Hercule's reporter asked.

"You guys are worshipping the wrong person! The one who saved the world wasn't him but Gohan!" Sakura pointed at Gohan as he flinched at all the attention directed towards his way.

"Uh…well…." Gohan muttered as he was never one who cared about fame.

"Wait, they actually think this oaf saved the world?" Tenten whispered to her teammates as they shrugged in confusion.

"They're right, you're all worshipping a fraud and a phony!" Sasuke said as Hercule paled.

"How the hell do these brats know the truth!? Oh no…gotta think fast!" Hercule thought as his fans seemed to stand up for him as they started booing the group.

"How dare you try to insinuate Lord Hercule is lying!" One man yelled.

"Exactly! And you think this twig saved the world! How disgraceful!" Another woman yelled.

"Yeah! Don't insult our world's savior!"

"Satan! Satan!"

"Get out of here, freaks!"

"Weirdos!"

While some of the level headed people could ignore their comments, some of the more hotheaded members of the group were willing to send these idiots to Kingdom Come.

"Can I knock these idiots away? They're really getting on my nerves…." Dosu drawled, getting out his sound speaker.

"I'm right there with you." Naruto made a hand sign along with Kiba and Zaku before Gohan immediately got in front of the two.

"No." Gohan said. Before the two could argue, Kakashi got in front of them.

"Gohan's right. It probably would be in our best interest not to cause a scene. Let the fool get his fame. It's not like he won't get his just desserts someday." Kakashi said as they glared at Kakashi before they sighed before deciding to reluctantly stand down.

Not willing to argue with Kakashi, they reluctantly left as they realized Kakashi was right, and Hercule wasn't worth it.

"That's right! Get the hell outta here!"

"Unless you want Mr. Satan on your ass!"

Naruto was about to charge at that last comment but Sasuke held him back as Naruto huffed before turning around.

"The nerve of those fools, trying to sabotage you Hercule…" A fan turned to Hercule.

"….Yeah…right…haha!" Hercule laughed, though inwardly, he nearly was shitting himself.

"How do those brats know the truth about what happened? And the name Gohan? Why does that sound so familiar!?" Hercule's inner voice yelled to himself.

"At this World Tournament, if we get paired with that dumbass I'll definitely have something for his ass!" Naruto spat as his friends couldn't help but agree with the blonde.

"Wait, how do they think he killed that Cell guy?" Lee asked Gohan.

"Uh…long story. Too long to explain right now, hehe!" Gohan laughed as everyone deadpanned.

"Seriously, can you be the bad cop for more than five minutes?" Sasuke sighed before noticing what appeared to be a local Dojo.

"Wow, what a big dojo!" Tenten exclaimed before smirking.

"I say let's go in!" Naruto cheered before running in as nearly everyone sighed at the blonde's exuberance.

"Let's follow after him." Ino sighed as everyone soon followed behind him.

As they reached the part where there was a martial arts arena, they noticed a preteen girl around their age with black hair in pig tails sparring against an adult fighter before defeating him.

"And the winner is Videl!" The referee announced as everyone cheered for Videl.

"Wow, she's strong!" Sakura exclaimed.

"For a civilian anyways." Shikamaru shrugged.

"Yeah." Naruto, Lee and Konohamaru laughed.

The girl known as Videl wiped the sweat from her face before turning to the group before frowning.

"And who're you guys?" Videl raised a brow.

"Visitors." Gohan exclaimed before going through everyone's respective introductions.

"And you're some sort of fighter, correct?" Neji asked.

"Uh…yeah…what's it to you?" Videl asked as Neji smiled a little.

"It's just…that kata looks similar to the styles my family uses." Neji said as Hinata and Hanabi nodded.

"Yeah! Let's see big bro Neji kick your ass!" Hanabi cheered as everyone looked at the girl.

"Hanabi!" Hinata yelled as Hanabi shrugged.

"What? It's true, right?" Hanabi asked as Neji sighed, not liking the spotlight on him.

A very tall teenager with blonde hair and red eyes snorted.

"Bug eyes stronger than Videl? The daughter of Hercule? Yeah right." Sharpner snorted.

"Yeah! Though he is cute." Erasa blushed as Neji blushed, hearing her comment.

"Wait, you mean she's the daughter of that dumb oaf!" Kiba pointed at Videl with blank eyes.

"Oaf!? How dare you!" Videl yelled.

"It's true! Your dad's a huge phony!" Naruto added as Videl was seriously willing to kick all these brats' asses.

"Listen here! You have no idea what my dad has done for this world! And if you keep talking, I'll kick your ass!" Videl yelled as Naruto grinned, rolling his sleeves up.

"Oh yeah?" Naruto smirked as a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Neji?" Naruto asked as Neji smirked.

"Stand down, Naruto. I can knock her down a few pegs." Neji said before making his way into the dojo ring.

"Just who does this squirt think he is? Fighting the daughter of the world's strongest man?" Sharpner loudly declared. Thankfully for him, Neji wasn't as brash as Naruto or Lee.

The referee fell for the poor kid, obviously over his head.

"Begin!" The referee said as Videl charged Neji.

"Remember. Not too much." Neji mentally reminded himself as he sidestepped Videl's hit.

"What the?" All the teens asked as Videl nearly fell before catching herself.

"I…missed?" Videl asked.

"Too slow." Neji couldn't help but tease.

"Why you!" Videl growled.

"Looks like Neji might win." Gohan smiled, happy for his friend.

"Oh get real!" Sharpner spat.

"C'mon Videl!" Erasa cheered for her friend.

"Go Neji!" Naruto, Sakura, Gohan, Lee, Hanabi, Hinata and Tenten all cheered for Neji.

Videl charged Neji again with a series of blows and kicks as Neji easily avoided each one.

"No way!" Sharpner raised his eyebrows as he could barely believe what he was seeing. He had never even heard of a "Neji Hyuga" yet this brat was easily holding his own with Videl Satan of all people?

"…This can't be real…." Erasa muttered.

"Why can't I hit you!?" Videl growled in frustration.

Neji responded by catching her hands before basically putting her outside of the ring as he sent her flying with a mini Air Palm.

Everyone could only be wide-eyed in shock.

"…Whoa…." Was all Sharpner could say.

"….The winner is…uh…." The referee basically asked for Neji's name.

"Neji Hyuga." Neji answered.

"Neji!" The referee finished as Neji's friends cheered for him before running over to him.

"That was amazing!" Lee congratulated his friends.

"Yes, simply great watching, brother Neji." Hinata smiled as Neji waved off the praise.

"Haha well I've have been training." Neji gave a small smile before he made his way over to Videl before he lifted her up.

"That was a good match. Train yourself and come face me again when you're stronger." Neji politely bowed to Videl before leaving.

Videl could only stare at the backside of Neji before leaving.

"You okay Videl?" Erasa asked as she appeared at Videl's side.

"…Uh…yeah…" Videl lied as her mind was just racing.

"…Just who was that Neji Hyuga…" Videl asked to no one in particular.


Two celebrate the near month the ninja had been on Planet Earth, Bulma had decided to throw a party of sorts.

Well that as well as considering the fact that it was Friday and Fridays are fun days.

Gohan, Naruto, Lee, Zaku, Kiba and Choji all decided to have an honorary eat off.

Who won? Well?

Lee, Zaku and Kiba were hauled off in medical stretchers courtesy of Capsule Corp employees as Gohan rubbed his belly in satisfaction.

"Man that was good!" Gohan laughed as Naruto and Lee glared at him.

"Curse you Gohan!" Lee yelled.

"Someday I'll beat you!" Naruto growled as Gohan smirked.

"But not a day when I'm alive." Gohan snorted, deciding to add salt to Naruto and Lee's wound.

Some of the adults on the other hand had gotten rather…under the influence to say the least….

"MY SON IS BACK! AND I GET THE BEST DICK IN THE WORLD!" Bulma shouted as Kakashi made his way to Bulma's side worriedly.

"Uh…Bulma? I think you've had a bit too much to drink tonight." Kakashi said as Bulma shoved him off.

"Uh shut the hell up and get some! I heard from Launch you shoved her off! You like dudes with tight jumpsuits or something~~" Bulma slurred as Kakashi's brow twitched at that comment.

"Bulma I…." Kakashi tried reasoning with the bluenette although she was having none of it.

"HELLO WORLD! I'M BULMA BRIEFS!" Bulma yelled, ripping off her lab coat, revealing the green shirt she wore underneath.

All the boys included Kakashi had to cover their noses as they realized just how tight her shirt was to her bra….

"I'M FUCKING BULMA BRIEFS!" Bulma yelled as she jumped in the pool behind her.

"Whoa!" Everyone, even Sasuke and Dosu, yelled amazed the president of Capsule Corp had actually made a complete spectacle of herself.

"Everyone! Get in the water! Come on!" Bulma yelled as she received blank looks from everyone present.

"Uh yeah no thanks, this is a nice dress." Sakura bluntly stated.

"Yeah I'd prefer not to get wet, thanks." Shikamaru said as Bulma didn't seem to notice how much of a fool she was making herself as she started swimming as everyone decided to cheer for her with all the entertainment she was providing.


Eventually Gohan made his way home as he had his second dinner for the evening as him, Goku, Goten, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon and Moegi all wolfed down their dinner.

"So you think you can achieve that Super Saiyan whatever?" Konohamaru asked.

"Hehe yep!" Goku laughed.

"And so can I!" Gohan nodded as Goten clapped his pudgy hands.

"Hey guys, can I ask you two something?" Chichi asked, before she was ignored.

"How much training would we need though?" Gohan asked.

"Hmm…who knows?" Goku thought pensively.

"Bet I'll reach it first!" Gohan joked.

"Oh yeah, wanna bet?" Goku grinned challengingly.

"Guys, I'm trying to ask you something." Chichi said as she was ignored again…a tick mark forming on her head.

"Of course!" Gohan grinned.

"We'll see it when it happens!" Goku said as that was the last straw for Chichi as Goku and Gohan didn't even notice Team Konohamaru and Moegi had managed to slip away with Goten in tow. What they did notice was Chichi cloaked in a red Kaioken like aura, making the two men pale in fear. Frieza and Cell had NOTHING on a pissed off Chichi.

"DON'T IGNORE ME GODDAMMIT!" Chichi yelled, wielding a special pan meant for two people.

Goku and Gohan were soon sent flying to the Moon, courtesy of a very pissed off Chichi.

Monster Carrot soon had a reunion long overdue with Goku nearly twenty years later….


(Saiyan Shinobi Ending #5 Parada by CHABA) (I know this is technically the third I've shown but technically it'd be the 5th! I can do the first two if you're all curious! XD)

A Dragon Ball lands in the hand of a confused Karin who grabs it.

Kaze ga fuite... Aai... Itai...
Kienai omoi
Nani wo motte ikou ka atsumete hitotsu

Karin takes the Dragon Ball into her room with her as she stares at it both in amazement and wonder.

Nido to nai, Nido to nai
Suteru nante baka mitai
Mujaki ni natte... Aai... IMEJI

The Dragon Ball even started to reflect Karin's image with a bowl of rice by herside.

Kitto sore wa owaranai...
Kitto sore wa owaranai...

As Karin drifted off into a deep slumber, the Dragon Ball slowly levitated above her before it started to glow, awakening Karin.

Ai no mune kogase
Sen no yume watare
Juou mujin kakete
Te ni tsukamu sekai
Kumo ga chigirete
Hi ga mata ochite
Hitori no PAREDO ga ugokidasou...

Much to Karin's amazement, tens of hundreds of sparkles surrounded her before she could barely make it who or what it is.

Bouken
Kichijitsu
Shinpaku
Joushou

Meian
Souguu
Seimei
Souai

The sparkles then slowly compressed as they formed an outline of a boy with gravity defying spiky hair, a purple GI and a warm grin that made Karin blush as it extended its hand before her.

However...before she could reciprocate the gesture, Karin awoke.


On the planet of Whis, stood both Naruto and Luffy as they both faced towards Goku.

"Whoa, where is this place?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah it's so massive!" Luffy added as Goku laughed at the reaction of the two boys'.

"This is the planet of my master Whis. I've been taking my son here to train with me recently." Goku smiled as he explained before his expression became serious.

"But enough on that, we gotta get you two trained up right?" Goku asked as Naruto and Luffy's expressions turned serious.

"Yeah…that bastard Blackbeard's back…" Luffy punched his fist in his palm, still angry with how that bastard had led to his brother's death.

"Along with some of the old enemies of my world…" Naruto said, still not over seeing Kaguya again.

"I'll help train you too. But first I gotta gauge your powers so come at me!" Goku held a hand in a "come at me" gesture.

"I'll make sure to hold back on these two…." Goku reminded himself, sensing how weaker they were in comparison to him.

(Insert One Piece Soundtrack: Karakuri Castle, Transform)

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he summoned three clones, as Luffy and Goku's eyes bugged out in shock.

"No way! Like Raizo!" Luffy smiled with sparkly eyes.

"You can use Tien's multiform technique?" Goku asked.

"I dunno who the hell that is but take this! Rasengan!" Naruto yelled, trying to slam his trademark jutsu into Goku's chest which Goku was able to easily grab Naruto's wrist and send him skidding yards away.

"The hell!?" Naruto and Luffy exclaimed.

"How is he that fast?" Luffy asked, suddenly being reminded of Rob Lucci.

"If that's all you got, you're not gonna be able to beat who's behind all this crap." Goku crossed his arms as Luffy charged him.

"Gum Gum BULLET!" Luffy yelled, bombarding Goku with several punches as Goku was able to easily hold his own against Luffy before slamming his fist into Luffy's gut, making him spit spittle before backhanding him.

"Not good enough!" Goku said as this was starting to remind him of back when he used to train Gohan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Goku then turned to hearing the sound of footsteps behind him as a bigger version of the "Rasengan" was headed his way.

"Eat this! BIG BALL RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as Goku was able to catch Naruto's hand before sending him into the ground below. Had Naruto not moved his wrist at the last second, his write would've been torn to slivers.

"Damn! Just what is this guy made of?" Naruto growled as Luffy pulled himself out of the ground.

"I dunno but this guy is definitely harder than Katakuri!" Luffy noted.

Naruto then donned a peculiar stance as Luffy assumed a horse stance.

"Now….Second Gear!" Luffy yelled before he vanished.

"Wait, that's kinda like my Kaioken!" Goku noted.

"Now Gum Gum….Armanent Hardening!" Luffy yelled as he appeared right behind Goku.

"Now try this, Gum Gum Jet Gatling!" Luffy yelled as his consistent barrage of blows were actually pushing back Goku as he held his arms to defend himself.

"Heh, not bad." Goku remarked, very much impressed.

"Heh, thanks." Luffy smirked as he suddenly vanished in the air as his arm black hands expanded.

"Now Gum Gum ELEPHANT GUN!" Luffy yelled as a massive hand slammed into Goku as he was able to narrowly catch it.

"Okay…maybe holding back against these two wasn't such of a good idea…" Goku muttered as he managed to throw Luffy into a nearby tree several yards away.

As he did that, he suddenly came face to face with Naruto, although he noticed something different about Naruto before he swung a fist that wasn't…aimed at Goku?

"Narut-"Goku tried asking before he was suddenly sent flying away.

"Whoa…just what was that?" Goku rubbed his jaw as Naruto smiled.

"My Sage Mode. Though I can only keep it up for five minutes." Naruto said as he readied a hand sign before nearly a hundred clones appeared over Goku.

"Whoa! Even Tien can't summon these many clones!" Goku noted, both in awe and fascination.

"Once again, I don't know who the hell you're talking about!" All the Naruto clones yelled before the same blue sphere Goku recognized appeared in all of the hands.

"Now Sage Art: MASSIVE RASENGAN MEGA BARRAGE!" All the Clones yelled as Goku was able to narrowly Instant Transmission away.

"Whew…some jutsu…" Goku muttered before looking down at his new ruined clothes.

"But my Gi top's destroyed…" Goku sighed, dismally as he noticed Luffy appear in front of him with his hand blazing.

"Gum Gum…RED HAWK!" Luffy yelled as Goku was able to catch it before he winced at the heat.

"Ow! Ouch! Damn that's hot!" Goku cursed as he was able to narrowly kick Luffy away, slowly regretting his decision to hold back on these two.

"You two are definitely strong…Especially for your world but you two need to get stronger in order to face off against this new threat that's making the enemies in both of your worlds stronger through some unknown means." Goku instructed the two teenagers.

"You're right…." Naruto began.

"This is why I spent two years training….To get stronger to protect those I love…and to not lose anyone else…" Luffy closed his eyes as Ace's bloodied body rang through his mind as he slowly blew into his arms.

"Sinc with me…Kurama!" Naruto ordered his Tailed Beast.

"RIGHT!" Kurama said.

Much to Goku's confusion, Naruto suddenly started glowing like a light bulb. His appearance was reminding Goku of a Super Saiyan.

"Now, Tailed Beast Chakra Mode!" Naruto declared.

Before Goku could say anything else, both boys turned to the sound of smoke as Luffy's appearance had changed as he became taller, slimmer and his hair had grown longer as he donned a pose.

"Snakeman!" Luffy yelled.

WHEN UNIVERSES COLLIDE

COMING FEBRUARY 2020


And with over 16,000 words this chapter is DONE!

Heh I remember when I first started this story one of the few complains I got was how the chapters were too short in the beginning but now I can say I think I rectified that problem! XD Huh…funny how two years changes two =P

Now I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and all it offered with the ninja finally receiving their training, Sai introducing himself to everyone, everyone getting unexpected training apprentices, Future Gohan and Goku FINALLY interacting along with Future and Present Gohan FINALLY meeting and bonding and finally the ninja going to the city! (It's in the title after all! XD)

I hope you all liked the twists I had in this chapter with Trunks training BOTH Sakura and Sasuke because I bet you all expected ONLY Vegeta would train Sasuke which is why I wanted to throw a curve ball at you guys! XD And yeah Sakura's blades were inspired by old Manga covers I would see with Sakura holding blades and I always thought it sucked that Kishi never had her utilize blades or any weapons for that matter. *Shrugs Sadly* Oh well…

And I bet you all didn't see Vegeta training Neji! I did that for two reasons:

I feel Vegeta and Neji would get along VERY WELL given their pasts and personalities.

I have yet to see any DBZ X Naruto fanfictions where Neji and Vegeta have had any direct interactions which sucks since Neji and Vegeta are some of my favorite anime characters.

And on the subject of Neji, what could happen between and Videl? ;) Stay and find out but I will promise Neji will get A WAY BETTER ending than he got in the actual series. Like seriously, he was irrelevant for all of Part II only to get shoehorned and die half-assedly by Ten Tails' toothpicks?

God you all have no idea how PISSED I was when I first read that chapter, OMFG! And to find out he was killed for a freaking PAIRING!?

*Breathes slowly* Okay let me stop before I make this chapter another thousand words long because I will. Neji's one of my favorite characters and Kishi REALLY did him dirty. I hope we can all agree that Neji deserved SO MUCH BETTER.

In ANY case, I also hope you all liked the sneak preview of When Universes Collide that showed the start of the training session between Goku, Naruto and Luffy where they all get a feel on each others powers. With EVERYTHING I have planned for that story, I think you all are really gonna like the story when it comes February next year! ^_^

And before I end this chapter I should point out that Chapter 37 will not in fact be the sequel to this chapter but it will instead be a special chapter where we go back in time and learn how Goku got his Super Saiyan 2 form in this story. I have a feeling you all will enjoy it and to kill the elephant in the room, it's coming out December 18th!

Why?

That's the TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY of when this story was published!

And what better way to celebrate two years than with a special chapter!? =D

Now until next time, Happy Turkey Day guys and remember to eat all your Turkey fills! ^_^
