Well everyone! We are FINALLY back in real time in Saiyan Shinobi! I'm glad people enjoyed the Android 17 centric chapter last time since I feel that was the PERFECT chapter to celebrate coming off from my Hiatus!

Now I admit there were more people who continued to be very rude in their reviews about the story and "nerfing" even though there is NO nerfing and for the last time I'm sick of saying THERE IS NO NERFING in my story so get over it already, for god's sake. Although unlike last time, I COMPLETELY blew my top and said some rotten things myself, you can all look at my review section since I feel there's nothing for me to hide and it'd be disingenuous to act if I was innocent and from now on, I'll try not to get myself so riled up and I'm sorry to those who saw me behave in that manner. NOTHING justified how I acted.

Thank you all for your support of this story and if you think I take you for granted, I GENUINELY appreciate every single of one of you and thank you all for your support over the last three years.

Now with all that said, let the chapter begin already.


Grunts of fighting were heard as Kakashi and Gohan or rather his Future counterpart were sparing against each other.

"Chidori!" Kakashi yelled as Mirai raised his hands to his forehead to defend himself.

Mirai merely powered up as he smiled before firing back with an attack of his own.

"Special Beam Cannon!" Mirai yelled, firing the move of his teacher as Kakashi managed to narrowly avoid the deadly beam.

"Man…that damn thing sure is fast…..if not for this training, that could have drilled right through me…." Kakashi muttered in slight amusement as he smirked before making a hand sign as he suddenly vanished much to the future version of Gohan's slight surprise.

"That guy….really acting like a ninja…" Mirai smirked before he looked to see his foot tightly grasped with a hand.

"Trying to take me under? Really original?" Mirai grinned before literally brining Kakashi up to the sky before Kakashi let go of Mirai's foot though rather than being strung up in the air like some sort of ragdoll.

"Heh, touche." Kakashi smirked before the two fighters descended back to the ground below.

"We've been training all day. Wanna break for lunch?" Kakashi suggested as Mirai actually nodded at that.

"Sure thing. I was getting hungry, anyways." The future version of Gohan smiled as he put a hand to his stomach.

As the two made their way back to Mount Paozu, they were happily given a lunch as they eagerly dug in.

Unlike the younger version of himself, Mirai didn't seem too interested in seeing the face under Kakashi's mask.

"So, Kakashi?" Mirai began as Kakashi put his mask back on his face after devouring his lunch.

"Hm?" Kakashi asked.

"Why didn't you accompany the kids on their Dragon Ball hunt? I mean I think you'd probably enjoy it." Mirai stated as Kakashi laughed.

"Probably but I feel this is more fun for them. Besides, I need to broaden my skills." Kakashi smirked as Mirai snickered at that notion.

"Heh, I guess that makes sense. Which reminds me…that eye….that Sharingan…you said it was transplanted and not something you were born with?" Mirai asked.

"Yes….given to me…by my late friend….Obito Uchiha….someone….who was just as much of a victim of the same hellish world I grew up in…and….he…was someone I never truly appreciated until he died…." Kakashi looked down as Mirai frowned, knowing exactly how Kakashi was feeling.

"Believe me I understand….when Piccolo, Krillin and the others died…I felt so alone….." Mirai clenched his jaw, not wanting to have those old memories of when the Androids attacked that island and murdered all of his friends again.

Though, he was able to have a semblance of closure when he found out that it was him that put an end to the curse that was Dr. Gero.

"It's funny isn't it? Both you and I….were children grown up in hellish conditions…but…there's a bright side to all of this." Kakashi said as Mirai cocked his head to the veteran ninja.

"We have a new generation of people to train who will definitely carry on our legacy when we're no longer in this world." Kakashi smiled under his mask, thinking of Naruto, Gohan and the other members of the Leaf Ninja Twelve as Mirai blinked before smiling.

"Yeah….you're right….we're essentially meant to be the guidance for the next generation of protectors." Mirai smiled, thinking of Trunks.

"Then let's do it." Mirai announced standing up.

"We can get strong so we can make everyone that left their hopes to us like my father or that Obito guy will rest easy." Mirai grinned, extended a hand to Kakashi who happily accepted the Z-Fighter's hand.

"Right." Kakashi smiled though his thoughts lingered as he looked to the sunny sky.

"Obito…if only there was a way that I could see you just one last time…."


While Kakashi thought of old days, the team of boys were busy hunting their Dragon Ball.

"Okay so if we have one Dragon Ball, the girls definitely have to have one." Shikamaru announced.

"Yeah no doubt. We need to get these Dragon Balls so we can get our wish!" Zaku said.

"Okay so we're coming up…." Shikamaru said as the group of boys stopped at a remote village that was definitely…..interesting looking to say the least.

"….Penguin Village?" Naruto narrowed his eyes as they looked to the smartest of the group, Sasuke.

"What's the radar say, Sasuke?" Choji asked.

"It says the Dragon Ball is inside of their house." Sasuke explained.

"Then we go in there and take it!" Naruto grinned, all but ready to run into the identified house and take their Dragon Ball before a harsh grab from Neji stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Hold it!" Neji stated, nearly choking Naruto, albeit indirectly, before releasing him.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Naruto grunted, messaging his sore throat.

"Think about it. We can't just storm in and take their Dragon Ball. That'd be rude." Neji chastised his friend.

"So what do we do then?" Zaku groaned, not willing to take an L from the girls.

"We go in casually, ask for the Dragon Ball politely and they'll have to give it to us. After all, the Dragon Ball is so foreign here according to Mrs. Bulma, right?" Sai suggested as everyone blinked before realizing the pale root ninja did indeed have a point.

"Huh…I guess he's right." Choji said as Sasuke grunted, still not fully trusting the Root ninja.

"Well then, let's go!" Naruto grinned before running off as the ninja in question surveyed Penguin Village as they had their own opinions about the very…..interesting appearance of said village to say the least.

"Uh….is that mountain staring at us?" Kiba asked, clearly freaked at the sight of the mountain before it smiled at the ninja.

"HELLO!" The mountain greeted as the ninjas cringed sans Naruto who ran off.

"And why on earth is that sun smiling?" Shino asked as the sun literally beamed down at them.

"Not to mention the terrain back here…." Choji muttered.

"It's like something out of a gag manga!" Zaku's eye buzzed under his mask.

"We need to get out of here before we all go insane…" Sasuke muttered.

As Naruto eagerly ran to the small little house, behind the other side of the door was a rather short, casual man wearing a cap with casual clothes consisting of a shirt and jean shorts.

"And who are you kid?" The man asked Naruto who was slightly shocked this man just as tall as him.

"No, who the hell are you, old man?" Naruto bluntly asked as the man cocked an eyebrow at the name.

"Old man? Now let me tell you, how rude! Ugh, I haven't met someone so rude since Goku all those years ago…." The man muttered as the other Leaf Ninja appeared right behind him.

"You know Goku?" Kiba asked.

"Know him? He was good friends with my daughter!" The man grinned.

"Your daughter?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes indeed! Arale, come out here!" The man announced before a young looking girl appeared right beside him almost as soon as he called her name.

"Sup pops?" The girl known as Arale beamed at her father. She was a short girl with a hat and a long shirt with the name "Arale" on it.

"Arale, it looks like we have a couple of friends with us." The man said.

"Wait, you said daughter? Then who are you, sir?" Choji asked, not wanting to be rude like Naruto.

"The name's Senbei Norimaki, only the best scientist in the world! Even better than Bulma Briefs herself!" Senbei smirked as the boys looked unconvinced.

"Even better than Bulma? Yeah I doubt that gramps." Zaku smirked.

"For once I agree with you." Naruto snickered as Sai decided to get down to business.

"We're here for the Dragon Ball." Sai bluntly stated as Senbei and Arale blinked before looking to each other.

"You said the Dragon Ball, young man?" Senbei asked.

"Oh! I remember that hunt we had for those Dragon Ball thingies! Like this?" Arale asked, holding up a Dragon Ball with two stars on it.

"Yes!" All the boys exclaimed save for Neji, Sai and Dosu.

"I dunno….I don't really wanna part with it….." Arale looked down.

"Oh c'mon, you little brat, just give it to us!" Zaku growled.

"No, go away!" Arale stuck her tongue out as Zaku as Zaku's face reddened in rage.

"Listen here you little-"Zaku was about to growl before a light bulb appeared over Senbei's head.

"Wait, I've got it! How about a contest?" Senbei suggested.

"A contest?" Everyone asked.

"Indeed. If you can all literally get the Dragon Ball from my dear Arale, you can all get the Dragon Ball." Senbei crossed his arms with a grin.

"Wait, seriously! That'll be no sweat!" Kiba nearly fell over from laughing too hard.

"Yeah, we'll get it in less than five seconds." Dosu said, gesturing to the amplifier in his head. (For his current appearance, I believe I said he shed his canon clothes and has a similar appearance to Katakuri from One Piece).

"However, don't think it'll be so simple. You see, my daughter isn't like normal girls. She is a cybernetic creation of mine." Senbei smirked proudly.

"Wait, you mean like a robot?" Naruto blinked.

"Hmph, you learn new stuff every day." Sasuke crossed his arms.

"Wait, wasn't there a show like this where a scientist created a girl?" Shino asked.

"Yeah, I saw the girls watching it a couple of days ago. They were made with sugar, spice and everything nice. Their names were B-"Kiba was about to say before Arale cut them off.

"You guys are funny! How about we do some Pro-Wrestling!" Arale giggled as she jumped up and down.

"….Wrestling?" The boys, even Sai, all said in unison as they were wondering just what was wrong with this girl.

"Listen up, you little brat. Just give us the god-"Zaku was cut off.

"HEADBUTT!" Arale giggled before she rammed her head, dead into Zaku's center as she was sent hurdling into the sky.

"Zaku!" A majority of the boys all yelled before nothing but a twinkle appeared in the sky.

"What in the? She's so fast?" Lee blinked.

"How can a little kid be so fast?" Neji looked to the seemingly little girl in awe.

"Hmph, it's obvious she may be strong but we've definitely gotten stronger over the last month of training." Dosu gestured to the amplifier in on his wrist.

"Try this!" Dosu advanced to Arale before putting it dead to Arale's ear.

"Guys, you might wanna cover your ears." Dosu reminded his allies as they did just that before a wave of supersonic sound suddenly rummaged through Arale's head.

"W-whoa! Mister that sounds so good!" Arale grinned as Dosu raised his visible eyebrows.

"What in the?" Dosu's eyes widened in alarmed as Arale opened her mouth.

"Lemme show you something cool!" Arale giggled before opening her mouth as she aimed it right at a surprised Dosu with his defenses low.

"N'CHA!" Arale yelled as a huge beam slowly built in her eyes before she fired a very powerful Ki blast from her mouth as it hit Dosu head on, sending him skidding several yards.

All Dosu could mutter was a mouthful of smoke before his head dangled, signifying that he was definitely out.

"Man this kid ain't no joke…..Grrr…." Kiba made a hand-sign.

"It's gonna be hard. She's tougher than she looks." Sasuke growled as Senbei laughed.

"Now do you see? I'm gonna put on some tea and watch some anime. There's a load to choose from, one with pirates with weird fruits, another with some thug who literally dies to become a detective, one with robots and alchemy and so much other too choose from!" Senbei grinned though no one really paid him much mind.

"Don't you mess with us! Let's go Akamaru!" Kiba and Akamaru got ready.

"Yip, yip!" Akamaru barked before he changed into a literal clone over Akamaru.

"Fang over Fang!" KIba yelled as the two literally spun towards Arale with speeds that were amplified due to the training he received from Roshi as well as the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"Haha yay! More fun!" Arale grinned before literally head-butting the real Kiba though how she realized which Kiba was the real one was anyone's guess.

The last result was Kiba sent flying into a tree with Akamaru running to his side.

"Bark, bark!" Akamaru tried licking Kiba's face who was in a swirly eyed daze.

"Where's the leak…ma'am…." Kiba's eyes were practically rolled into the back of his head.

"Keep it coming, haha!" Arale giggled as she made her way to the remaining men consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, Shino, Neji, Konohamaru, Udon, Choji, and Lee.

Though she failed to notice that one was missing.

"Oi-yo?" Arale blinked as she felt herself suddenly not moving. When she looked down, she found the source was a long, black, shadowy line.

"Shadow Possession Jutsu, success!" Shikamaru smirked as the boys looked satisfied.

"Yes! Awesome Shikamaru!" Naruto pumped his fists in triumph.

"As smart as always." Sasuke smirked.

"As expected from someone of the Nara Clan." Sai gave a small smile.

"Now we'll release the jutsu if you just go along with us….nicely…." Shikamaru gave his ultimatum as the Shadow moved upwards to Arale's body.

"Oh…yeah?" Arale asked before she literally pulled her head off, making the Shadow come off as well.

A blank silence filled the air as Shikamaru could only blink as sweat dripped from his head.

"…H-huh?" Shikamaru could barely get out before Arale pumped her feet.

"Yay! Let's go for a fun ride to the sky!" Arale cheered.

"….A fun what?" Naruto, Lee and Choji all blinked before Shikamaru was literally ejected to the sky before hitting the ground with a long hard thud.

"Darn it! We can't just let her get the win!" Choji yelled before expanding his body.

"Expansion Jutsu!" Choji yelled.

"Human Boulder!" Choji yelled as Arale clapped happily.

"A Human Boulder? How about a real boulder?" Arale yelled as she picked a real boulder from god knows where.

"Wait how did she get that?" Lee asked.

"It's like something from a gag manga!" Neji explained as Arale nailed Choji in the head with a hard boulder.

The final result?

Choji was knocked out, seeing stars.

"….Hot…wings…." Choji muttered with "X" eyes.

"Wait, how did that knock him out? I thought that jutsu was supposed to have insane durability!" Naruto blinked.

"It's like she's freaking broken!" Konohamaru yelled, a combination of being freaked and amazed at the same time.

"We cannot let ourselves be defeated by a robot child! Fifth Gate! Open!" Lee yelled as he attempted to kick Arale in the head with a powerful dynamic entry as she ran right to Lee.

"Arale Kick!" Arale literally drop kicked Lee dead in the skull, knocking out the favorite disciple of Might Guy.

"We're dropping like flies…" Udon literally fell back on his butt.

"What the hell are we gonna do?" Konohamaru backed up before a fist jammed in his skull.

"Oww….what was that for?" Konohamaru whined as Naruto glared at him.

"Have you forgotten what we are!? We're Ninja who never give up, no matter what! There's no such thing as no winning! In my book, you never give up until you succeed!" Naruto reminded the young boy as Konohamaru merely stared at Naruto.

"Naruto…" Konohamaru blinked as he grew an inkling of respect for the blonde.

"Now c'mon, let's get this rugrat back in her nursery!" Naruto yelled as he summoned a hoard of clones that all charged at Arale.

"Whoa! You can make copies of yourself!? What're you? Some sort of magician?" Arale stared at Naruto with sparkling eyes.

"Not copies, clones!" Naruto grinned, happy he made the little twerp happy.

However, much to everyone's dismay, she was cutting through them with ease.

"….She's slicing through them like butter…" Sai blinked, utterly amazed at Arale's strength.

"Nevertheless we can still overcome her!" Neji said as he suddenly appeared right in front of her before spinning around.

"Whoa! What are you doing?" Arale asked the Hyuga in amazement as Neji smirked.

"Enjoy my Rotation!" Neji practically bragged as the boys looked impressed as Arale beamed with excitement.

"Whoa! So fast! Lemme show you how fast I am!" Arale gasped happily before running around Neji's rotation.

However as Neji's rotation got faster as a result so did Arale's speed around him.

"Wait, is she copying Neji's rotation!?" Naruto asked in amazement.

"Kiiin!" Arale yelled before Arale's speeds started to slowly uptake Neji's before he was literally sent flying into the sky and hit the literally moon in space before crashing down on the ground, several metres away, hard and injured.

"….So….fast…." Neji muttered.

"Yay! What's next!?" Arale smiled broadly before the sounds of a thousand birds chirping filled her ears.

Chidori!" Sasuke yelled as he tried ramming his technique into Arale's head as Arale looked unfazed with the deadly jutsu heading her direction.

"Whoa! So pretty! Lemme try!" Arale grinned before sucking in the breath in her mouth before literally firing an even bigger version of the N'Cha Cannon she used early as Sasuke was hit head on, sending him flying away.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as Arale nearly fell back on her butt.

"Boy, you guys are fun!" Arale giggled before literally feeling bugs floating around her.

"Let's see how you handle my bugs. Now Aburame Style Jutsu!" Shino yelled as Arale's mouth started to bulge as she was practically eating the bugs.

But rather than show any signs of pain and discomfort, she merely burped in satisfaction.

"How yummy!" Arale giggled.

"….Huh?" Naruto, Konohamaru, Udon and Shino all blinked in confusion.

"Lemme show you something amazing!" Arale giggled before holding something very squishy and disgusting in her hands.

"Wait is that shit?" Naruto asked in disgust.

"Yep! Super Poop Toss!" Arale literally threw the turd at Shino at speeds too fast for him to avoid and was hit dead in the face with it.

"Wait, Shino!" Naruto and the other two survivors ran to his side with Sai getting out his Ninja Scroll.

"Wait, what's wrong? It's just crap!" Naruto said.

"It looks like he's in a state of being shocked!" Udon yelled in concern as Naruto turned to the small child, no doubt excited for more conflict.

"Ninja Art! Super Beast Scroll!" Sai asked as he sent rats and even an eagle made of ink hurdling towards Arale.

"Whoa! Cool!" Arale beamed as she easily jumped and crushed them into ink.

"Haha! Keep it up!" Arale yelled as she suddenly pulled out a launcher and a handful of watermelons and pumpkinds.

"Where does she get that crap!?" Naruto and Arale yelled in annoyance.

"Rocket Launcher of Fun!" Arale laughed before Sai found himself hit with hordes of Watermlons and Pumpkins.

Now while nothing like that should hurt an experienced ninja, Arale has the power of gag behind her and not even the most veteran of ninja can withstand that amount of power and as such Sai was left battered and unconscious.

"Alright, you little twerp! I'm sick of you hurting my friends!" Naruto summoned his chakra before the Nine Tails chakra swarmed around him though he still retained his sense of reason. (Think of what he used against Neji in episode 62).

"Whoa! Amazing!" Udon blinked as Konohamaru's eyes widened in alarm.

"Is that…the Nine Tails'?" Konohamaru could barely believe what he was seeing.

"Whoa! You can transform!" Arale asked.

"That's right. Prepare yourself!" Naruto said as Arale grinned.

"You can transform too!?" Arale beamed as Naruto got nervous.

"Wait, you can transform?" Naruto asked in dread as a sparkling light appeared around the small girl.

"That's right! Ultraman! Schwaaa!" Arale beamed before she just changed her clothes into a spandex superhero jumpsuit.

"…That's it…." Udon blinked.

"You just changed your clothes!" Naruto and Konohamaru yelled in annoyance.

"Lemme show you a move I got from Goku…." Arale said before cupping her hands.

"Wait is that…." Konohamaru blinked as Naruto turned to him and Udon.

"Konohamaru, get outta here and take Udon with you. I'll take care of her!" Naruto told the two.

"What about you?" Konohamaru asked his friend in concern.

"Just leave her to me!" Naruto said as he summoned a clone as they readied a certain jutsu.

"Ka…Me…..Ha….Me….HA!" Arale yelled.

"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as the two techniques collided.

Try as he might….though Naruto tried overwhelming Arale, in the end….it was all for naught….

IN the end, Naruto was left and crispy crisp on the ground.

Konohamaru and Udon merely looked at each other unsure of what to do as Arale literally dropped in front of her.

Sensing their apprehension, Arale merely smiled at them.

"Your friends are fun. I like them! Here!" Arale smiled.

"Wait, you're really giving us the Dragon Ball?" Udon asked, catching it.

"Thanks but….why?" Konohamaru asked as Arale shrugged.

"Dunno. Consider it my prize to them for a good time! See ya!" Arale happily skipped inside as Konohamaru and Udon were left lost.

"What….just….happened?" Udon asked his best friend.

"…I don't even know…." Konohamaru muttered.

Goku merely rubbed his head nervously as he had seen everything from a nearby distance.

"Man….that Arale really doesn't hold back, huh?" Goku asked though he wondered if she could still keep up with him….


Meanwhile the girls were in literal better spirits as they followed the Dragon Radar that Bulma gave them into a desert.

"Jesus Christ, I know they said the Dragon Balls were anywhere in the world….but a desert?" Ino asked, wiping the sweat from her brow.

"But the Dragon Ball should be here, right?" Hinata asked with Tenten nodding for affirmation.

"Then let's just shut up and deal with it." Kin muttered as Karin leaned into Sakura.

"What's her deal?" Karin asked.

"Eh, had a rough night." Sakura shrugged before the girls all entered a small remote home.

"Awesome! And the Dragon Ball is right over there!" Moegi giggled as she ran and snatched a Dragon Ball with "Five Stars" on the table.

However, a voice cut her off.

"Well isn't this just ironic? A couple of young girls in my home?" An amused voice said as the Kunoichi all turned to see a man with short hair and a scar on his face.

"Who're you!?" Hanabi asked, her hands on her weapons with all the girls except for Sakura.

"Wait, it's you, Yamcha!" Sakura stated as Yamcha blinked, slightly surprised that this pink haired girl know who he was.

"Uh….I am…..how do you know about me?" Yamcha asked as Sakura nervously laughed.

"Oh, Gohan told me! I'm friends with him!" Sakura laughed, a bit too phony for the girls' tastes.

"Smooth Sakura…" All the girls shook their heads as Yamcha's eyes widned.

"Wait, you said Gohan? You're the ninja!?" Yamcha's eyes sparkled as the Kunoichi smirked with pride.

"The one and same!" Sakura grinned as Yamcha grinned.

"Oh you can definitely take my Dragon Ball! What a boy wouldn't do for a pair of badass ninja." Yamcha grinned as Ino happily accepted the ball.

"Thanks so much!" Ino thanked.

"Yeah but quick question….Bulma said you two were a couple at one point, right? Well….what…..happened….?" Sakura asked as Yamcha looked down.

"You see….we got together….when we were young and dumb….we would fall apart yet come together though….we were both young and knew nothing….and before I knew it….she had come to really realize what it truly meant to be in love….and I had lost her…." Yamcha looked down and his voice was tight….almost as if he was biting back tears.

"My god…" Karin frowned.

"Loving someone who doesn't love you back….I know the feeling…." Ino frowned as some of the other girls nodded.

Though Yamcha looked up with a smile.

"But you know something? As long as Bulma's happy, I'm happy. Sure I have my ups and downs with him, but if Bulma wants to be happy with Vegeta….I can live with that." Yamcha smiled as the girls all "Cooed".

"Aww, how sweet!" Ino grinned.

"I dunno why Bulma's with that Vegeta asshole! You're way sweeter!" Tenten added as Yamcha blushed at the praise he received.

"Aww thanks but you know…hehe…." Yamcha blushed like a dork as the kunoichi giggled.

"Off to continue our Dragon Ball hunt. Thanks again!" Kin grinned as the other girls all smiled and said their goodbyes to Yamcha as he grinned.

"Yeah…haha…smooth…." Yamcha grinned as Puar sighed.

"Okay, where next?" Tenten asked.

But before she and the other girls knew anything, they felt their eyes go hazy before their entire world turned black.

When next they awoke, they found themselves on the carpeted floor of a room.

"Ugh…where the hell…are…we…" Sakura muttered.

"Glad to see the guests are awake!" A woman's voice said.

"Huh what the?" Ino's head darted as she and the other Kunoichi tried getting a feel for their surroundings before noticing standing on a throne in front of them were three figures, a black haired woman, a dog and a short blue man. All of them looked wrinkled and elderly.

"Eww gross…." Moegi groaned.

"Gross!? How dare you!? Have you any idea of where you are!?" Emperor Pilaf growled, offended by the Kunoichi's rudeness.

"Nope." Kin bluntly said.

"Well let me tell you, you are in the den of Emperor Pilaf!" Emperor Pilaf laughed triumphantly to the heavens as the Kunoichi looked unimpressed.

"And I'm Mai." Mai smirked despite coughing.

"And I'm Shu." Shu said as the Kunoichi looked even more bored and uninterested.

"Hey what's with those unimpressed looks!?" Pilaf said as the Kunoichi just yawned in response.

"Sorry it's just if this is supposed to be a part in a story where the big bad guys kidnap helpless damsels in despair, the kidnappers should be badass and fit, not wrinkly and worn out." Kin said as the girls snickered while the Pilaf gang blushed in embarrassment.

"You bastards….but let's see who's laughing now! Don't you girls notice the binds constricting your wrists?" Pilaf jeered as the girls all then noticed the handcuffs binding their wrists.

"What the hell?" Ino asked.

"They're Ki suppression cuffs meaning you can't use your fancy, schmancy powers!" Shu laughed with his comrades.

"We know you've been training with that monster Goku and we know you've been hunting the Dragon Balls meaning we can add one more to our collection!" Mai confidently smirked.

"Soon we will establish our world order! Emperor Pilaf will finally reign down as the world's greatest champion!" Pilaf heartily laughed as the girls blinked before looking at each other, not at all intimidated.

"It's a great thing that these fools don't know anything about Chakra." Sakura whispered.

"And I've also noticed Hanabi isn't here! They must've missed her." Hinata pointed out as the girls all nearly freaked at the realization.

"So she can come in and sneak in and take their Dragon Ball since we left the radar with her, then!" Karin exclaimed.

"Right so until then we can just play it cool and play by their rules until she bursts in here." Tenten said as the girls all seemed receptive of that idea.

It was then the girls turned to their captors.

"Well we concede defeat but there's something we have to do." Sakura said as the Pilaf gang raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" Pilaf asked.

"If we're gonna go out, let's all go out with a song." Ino added on following what her childhood friend was thinking.

"A song?" Mai nearly laughed.

"Yeah. We wanna become an Acapella group so if we're gonna die, just give us this one thing before we die, please?" Hinata suggested as the Pilaf gang all blinked before looking to each other and back to the girls.

"Well…okay…I guess…" Pilaf said as the girls were all unhand cuffed before they moved furniture around.

"You girls have ten minutes!" Pilaf said as they all nodded in thanks.

"What song you have in mind?" Tenten asked as Sakura grinned.

"We listened to a lot over the last couple of days. Just follow my toxic lead." Ino winked as the girls all smiled in understand before Sakura stands in front, taking the leadership role starting off the performance.

Baby, can't you see I'm calling?
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm falling
There's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm lovin' it

Hanabi jumped in Pilaf's castle and started running as she heard the girls start singing.

"That's them!" Hanabi smiled, happy that her friends were alive. However she noticed remote controls and Televisions and thinking smart she turned on the TVs as loud as they can go and hides behind a curtain as several of Pilaf's robotic henchman all leave to see what the deal was.

Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

The Kunoichi then continue their routine as they look to Sakura for direction as she notices the noise downstairs and starts singing louder with the other girls singing louder as well.

"Halt! Who are you!?" One of Pilaf's robotic henchmen asked as Hanabi was quick to blow the robots away.

"Rotation!" Hanabi yelled as they were knocked into the walls while dispatching easily of more robots that came in an attempt to apprehend her.

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Hanabi then literally kicked the last robot into a door as she advanced downwards towards the room where Pilaf was keeping the room.

Hearing the noise, Pilaf panicked.

"What the hell is going on!?" Shu asked.

"I don't know!" Mai exclaimed though she was tapping her foot, enjoying the Kunoichi's homage to Britney Spears' song.

"Well examine it you dolts!" Pilaf snapped at his men.

"R-right sir!" Shu and Mai exclaimed in surprise as the girls continued their song.

Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

"Wait a child?" Mai asked as she and Shu raised an eyebrow at the sight of Hanabi, no doubt having a flashback of a child Goku.

"Aren't you lost h-" Shu asked before he was suddenly knocked out.

"Shu!" Mai ran to her longtime friend as Hanabi smirked, happy that Mai was paying her no mind.

"Tenketsu!" Hanabi smirked before Mai's pressure points were all struck as Hanabi smirked.

"Now, onwards to the girls!" Hanabi ran to where the girls were right as they were concluding their song.

Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now (I think I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

Right as the girls all finished their song, the door literally burst open with Hanabi literally throwing the bodies of Shu and Mai right at Pilaf.

"Mai! Shu!" Pilaf exclaimed in horror.

"Hanabi!" All the girls all smiled in relief that she was okay.

"I snagged their Dragon Ball too!" Hanabi grinned proudly as the Kunoichi cheered her on.

"By the way, nice voices." Hanabi praised the girls.

"Thanks, our plan worked." Tenten smirked as Pilaf felt a nervous sweat drip down his head.

"Y-you mean…this was all a set up!?" Pilaf asked.

"Damn right." Kin confirmed as she drew her senbon needles, Tenten drew a pole, Hinata and Hanabi activated their Byakugan, Sakura was channeling her Inner Sakura power into her Axe, Ino readier her Mind Control Jutsu and Kairn cracked her knuckles.

Pilaf was definitely having flashbacks to Goku from all those years ago.

"U…uh….can we talk about this?" Pilaf suggested.

"HELL NO." Was the answer Pilaf received before his pained screams rang through the sky.

As all this went on, Gohan watched the whole scenario from above.

"….Remind me never to piss off those girls…." Gohan sighed as all the women in his life were definitely screw balls.

"Though that whole ordeal reminded me of that movie I saw with mom those three years before the Androids came. Uh what was it called again? Uh… Pit-OW!" Gohan moaned as a rock hit his skull.

"Why is my luck so crappy today…." Gohan muttered.


Thankfully, the boys were able to recover after their….for a lack of better words, ordeal with Arale.

"Alright, it looks like the Dragon Ball is in this village!" Naruto pointed, using the Dragon Ball radar.

"Hopefully we don't have to deal with another crazy robot child." Kiba muttered.

"At least we got the Dragon Ball?" Sai tried to offer.

As they all pulled up to the village, right away the group of boys noticed something immediately wrong.

"Hey where is everyone in the village?" Naruto asked, jumping out of the vehicle.

"It's like a ghost town…" Lee said.

"I wonder just where everyone is…." Choji asked.

"The Radar's going off. Let's go!" Shikamaru pointed as the boys all ran to where they definitely saw an oddity for a lack of better words.

Several bald, monk-like warriors were floating around in the sky almost the equivalent of ghouls.

"What in the?" Neji asked.

"Are they ghosts?" Konohamaru asked, looking no doubt frightened.

"DODON RAY!" A voice yelled, nailing some of the ghoulish-looking warriors with the powerful beam though they got up seemingly unfazed by the attack.

Before the group of ninja could even contemplate how they were even still conscious they turned to the source of the attack.

A tall man with three eyes was the source of the attack.

"…Who the hell is that?" Kiba bluntly asked.

"Does he have three eyes?" Zaku asked.

"How bizarre…" Neji cocked an interested eyebrow.

"Hey, kids! You should get out of here, it's not safe!" The man ordered.

"Yeah right, we ain't no cowards!" Naruto stated, smiling as he recognized the man as Tien.

"Damn kids…" Tien muttered though he was reminded of a younger Goku and Krillin at the sight of them.

"So what happened?" Sasuke asked.

"Her." Tien said pointing to a beautiful young woman with blue hair and wearing a green pair of robes.

"Oh Tien, don't you just like my warriors! I can form my very own school of warriors too." The woman smirked.

"Yurin, you didn't have to do this!" Tien growled as Yurin smirked.

"And look at these brats. More warriors I can put under my control." Yurin grinned as she launched at the ninja who looked unfazed and unthreatened.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto grinned as Yurin suddenly found herself overwhelemed with nearly twenty Narutos.

"What in the? GET OFF ME!" Yurin yelled, trying to get away from the swarm as she jumped upwards to a building.

"Fang Over Fang!" Kiba yelled as Yurin found herself in the side of a building.

Yurin rubbed her sore jaw as she growled at the ninja in a mix of hatred and anger.

"You…..worthless…..bastards!" Yurin growled as the ninja smirked.

"Hey Tien, how are we gonna stop her?" Naruto asked as Tien looked at the young kids.

"As you have all probably imagined, she is controlling those poor souls. However, if you can take her out, we can free them." Tien explained as the ninja grinned.

"Just leave it to us!" Choji grinned as the ninja decided to act as diversions as they all had a way to knock her out.

"Just leave it to Udon and me!" Konohamaru beamed.

"Uh….okay…" Shikamaru blinked as Konohamaru and Udon had handfuls of certain items.

"Come at me you irritating, annoying-" Yurin said as Konohamaru and Udon ran to her before dropping the items, revealed to be paper bomb balls.

Much to her amazement they actually exploded right in front of her.

Yurin was more aggravated than hurt.

"Okay you brats are seriously pissing me off now! You'll be fine little lap-d-"Yurin was about to place her magical tags on Konohamaru and Udon's heads before she found herself stuck on the ground, unable to move.

"W-what the?" Yurin asked.

(Naruto OST: Fake)

"Shadow Possession Jutsu, success!" Shikamaru grinned.

"Nice, man! And it didn't fail like Arale this time!" Kiba pumped his fist.

"You dirty little weasel! How on earth could you trap me!?" Yurin demanded more than asked as Shikamaru smirked.

"You had your guard down when you were occupied with Konohamaru and Udon, giving me more than enough time to trap you in my Shadow Possession Jutsu." Shikamaru elaborated.

"Shadow….Possession….Jutsu?" Yurin asked, utterly lost.

"What is that?" Tien asked.

"You see, we're ninja." Sai explained as Tien's eyes all widened.

"Wait, you're all ninja?" Tien asked.

"You're all the ninja!?" Chiaotzu asked.

"Indeed!" Lee nodded.

"And now this game is set, game and match." Shikamaru grinned as Yurin growled, definitely wishing blood murder on Shikamaru and the ninja.

"Man…that Shikamaru might be as smart as Gohan!" Goku smiled as he watched the whole scenario from above.

"You damn plebian! Unhand me!" Yurin shouted.

"With pleasure. Choji!" Shikamaru said as Choji expanded.

"Body Expansion Jutsu! Human Boulder!" Choji yelled before Yurin was literally railroaded into the ground as her painful screams rang through the air….

(End Naruto OST: Fake)

"And that's the whole sitch." Shikamaru explained the whole situation to Tien and Chiaotzu.

"So you're here on training." Chiaotzu said.

"Correct. And we're in a race against the girls to collect the Dragon Balls." Neji explained as Tien laughed.

"Goku and Bulma did the exact same thing when they were your ages." Tien mused as Naruto's came out with a certain orange ball in hand.

"Guys we got it! The Dragon Ball!" Naruto pumped up and down as the boys cheered, or rather a majority of them.

"Alright that makes three that we've got! We've got to get moving!" Naruto said.

"Take it. Consider it my thanks for helping Chiaotzu and I." Tien smirked.

"Thanks a ton!" Choji said as the boys went on their merry way.

"You really are something, Goku. Not getting involved." Tien chuckled as Goku came down right beside him.

"Well it's their kid fun. Why should we get involved?" Goku asked.

"When you make it sound like that, you make us sound like we're old relics or something." Chiaotzu pointed out as Goku merely laughed.


With both teams tied for three Dragon Balls each, they all finally reached the final destination of the last star, the one star ball, coincidentally.

"That's it!" Both teams exclaimed simultaneously as the ball was located at the forest floor in a remote jungle in the middle of nowhere.

"Out of the way!" Both teams yelled as they were all practically wrestling each other before two hands put their hands on their Dragon Balls, the hands belonging to Sasuke and Ino.

"Wait! No way! A tie!?" Sasuke and Ino yelled irate as everyone turned to the sound of clapping.

"Good job guys!" Goku grinned as he touched down.

"Wait who won the contest?" Kiba asked as Goku laughed.

"It's a tie!" Goku grinned though no one laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Huh!?" Everyone, even Sai, Neji and Dosu exclaimed clearly angry.

"No way we went through all that crap just to end it in a tie!" Zaku yelled.

"Well look at it this way you all got-Hey!" Goku was cut off as he was nailed in the head by the one star Dragon Ball courtesy of Naruto.

"Nice throw Naruto!" Sakura snickered.

"Thanks!" Naruto grinned.

"Uh…g-guys?" Goku blinked before he suddenly found himself pelted with all seven Dragon Balls.

"Ow! Hey! Chi was right! You guys really are crazy!" Goku yelled before Instant Transmissioning away.

"Man…poor dad…" Gohan said though he sounded more amused that sympathetic.


"Can't believe all that and it ended in a tie…" Kiba muttered looking over his straw.

"Tell me about it…" Ino sighed.

"Wait, I've just thought of something!" Udon said.

"What?" Konohamaru asked.

"When we get to Planet Ninjitsu, we can show everyone back home the Dragon!" Hinata exclaimed as everyone's eyes widened before they seemed on board with that idea they were.

Even Sai though his expression looked sort of…..conflicted?

"That sounds amazing!" Naruto grinned.

"Yeah, way to plan Hinata!" Gohan grinned as Hinata blushed at the praise she received from both her former and current crush.

Before anyone knew anything, the door to the dining hall of Capsule Corp opened.

"Well, well. Looks like the brats are back home." Vegeta entered the hall with crossed arms.

"Good to see you too." Tenten rolled her eyes though a harsh glare from the Saiyan Prince shut her up.

"What brings you here?" Sakura asked.

"I see you've all gotten stronger in the last month since you've been here." Vegeta said as everyone smiled.

"Thanks for stating the obvious." Kiba smirked though Vegeta ignored him.

"Although this planet's gravity isn't enough. In the morning, Sasuke! Neji! Be in the courtyard by 6 A:M tomorrow. And no whining or moaning or I will put you six feet under!" Vegeta snapped at the two before leaving the room.

"Uh…he's just a bundle of roses." Choji rolled his eyes.

"How did you two put up with him?" Ino asked her crush and friend.

"Uh well…you see…" As Neji rubbed the back of his neck as everyone leaned in, eager to learn just how they kept their sanity with someone as….interesting….as Vegeta.


And as all this went on, the Namekians on the New Planet Namek all tended to farming as well as socializing with the young children running amok and playing.

However…they noticed the sky darken slightly….

"What on earth…" Moori's eyes widened as a big star-like figure started literally attaching itself to the surface of the planet…..
