Hey, guys!
Here's today's chapter, sorry for the delay, I didn't have the time nor the inspiration to finish it yesterday.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter and remember:
I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.
Naruto was really excited, he would finally receive his ninja headband after all. Gohan, on the other side, was a littile but nervous as he doesn't know what being a ninja in this world is. As the two boys arrived at the classroom, they were received by their friends.
"Wow, when did I get so many friends?" Gohan asked to himself as he saw how happy Naruto was, smiling at what he saw.
After they greeted their friends, Iruka went into the classroom.
"Good morning, guys." He said. "How's it going?"
"As you know, today is the day in which you become Genin." Iruka continued before anyone could answer his previous question. "Here I have you headbands, so come and get them."
Everyone went to grab their respective headband, and to put them on. After everyone had their headbands on, Iruka intervened to keep talking.
"Also, today is the day in which you'll be assigned with your respective team." Iruka announced.
Everyone started talking about which team they'd have and who their teammates would be.
Gohan wondered who his teammates and sensei would be, but Naruto interrupted his thoughts.
"Gohan, we'll be in the same team, right?" He said, confidently.
"I hope so." Said Gohan with a little bit less confidence.
"We'll start calling the students by group." Iruka announced.
And so it began, the clock started ticking and the students started to be called by Iruka to form each group.
"Team 8 will be formed by-" Iruka stopped for a moment to check on a piece of paper. "Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame."
"Aww, I wanted to be with Naruto." Hinata thought, feeling disappointed.
"Well, this isn't so bad, I guess." Shino thought.
The three students went out of the class to meet their sensei.
"Next is team 10, which will be formed by Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka And Gohan." Iruka said. "This team will be formed by one extra ninja as there aren't enough people to pair Gohan with."
"Ugh, I'll have to compete with Gohan, how troublesome…" Shikamaru said, although he felt a bit annoyed at the fact that Gohan was in his team, he felt a bit happy about it, too.
"How lucky we are, we are the only team of 4!" Chouji cheered.
"Hehe, I am in the same team as Gohan, today's my lucky day." Ino thought, laughing softly afterwards.
"Aw, I wanted to be with Naruto." Gohan said, then turned to see his new teammates. "I guess it isn't that bad, after all."
As Gohan smiled at his teammates, Naruto felt disappointed. He turned to look at the people who were left.
"Now team 7." Iruka said. "Which will be formed by Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."
"Hmph." Sasuke turned to look at Gohan, who had a better team than him. "Don't get in my way." He said to his new teammates.
"YESSS. I'm in Sasuke's team." Sakura thought. "In your face, Ino!"
"No way that I'm in the same team as Sasuke!" Naruto tried to complain with Iruka, but his professor ignored him.
"Go to the rooftop, your new sensei will be waiting there for you." Iruka said.
After a long and tiring day, Naruto and Gohan finally met at their home.
"So how was your day?" Gohan asked.
"Meh, could've been better." Naruto replied.
"Why?" Gohan continued asking.
"Well, I'm in the same team as Sasuke, that's why." Naruto explained. "He's a lose, he just stands in my way!"
"Hehe, it seems you had fun today." Gohan laughed at his comment.
"Anyway, how was your day?" Naruto asked.
"It was actually pretty good." Gohan replied. "I met Asuma-sensei and got to know more about my teammates."
"Well, now that I think about it, I'm in the same team as Sakura." He said. "And I actually liked Kakashi-sensei."
"Wow, your leader is Kakashi?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah, why?" Naruto replied.
"Kakashi is one of the strongest ninja in the village." Gohan explained.
"Yeah I figured." Naruto said, remembering the bell test they did with Kakashi.
"Anyway, I'm hungry, wanna go to Ichiraku?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Naruto said before getting ready to go.
"That Naruto went where?" Gohan asked seriously.
"He went to the land of waves in a C-ranked mission." The Hokage explained.
"But aren't Genin supposed to receive D-ranked missions?" Gohan asked.
"He wanted a higher rank mission, so I gave him one." The Hokage explained.
"But isn't that too dangerous for a Genin?" Gohan asked, starting to get a little mad.
"I gave them one of the easiest C-ranked missions I had." The Hokage explained.
"Never mind it, Gohan, they'll be fine. Kakashi's with them after all." Asuma said trying to get Gohan to calm down.
"Yeah, you may be right." Gohan admitted.
"Anyway, what's our next mission?" Shikamaru asked.
"Well, you have to go and help some villagers with their tasks." The Hokage said.
"I thought being a ninja would be more exciting." Gohan thought.
After being assigned the mission, team 10 headed for the exit of the building.
"How are we supposed to do so many things, we'll need a lot of time to finish all this." Chouji said.
"Maybe we can divide the group." Gohan suggested.
"That could work." Asuma said. "We can maybe divide it in 2. Chouji and Shikamaru, Ino And Gohan."
"What about you?" Shikamaru asked.
"I'll be watching you." Asuma explained. "To make sure you do the mission succefully."
"Yeah, of course." Shikamaru said.
"But I have and objec-" Gohan couldn't finish his phrase as Shikamaru headed for one of the locals in the village.
"Let's go, Chouji." Shikamaru said.
"But Asuma-sensei-" Gohan said turning to look at Asuma, who had already gone to wherever he was now.
Gohan sighed and beckoned at Ino, who was happy as she could spend with Gohan, to follow him.
After a long day of boring tasks, team 10 finally reunited and talked a bit about how boring it had been. Asuma laughed at his students' comments, although they started to complain about his laziness.
After a coupke of days, team 7 finally came back and gave it's report about the mission, which resulted to be actually harder than it appeared to be. Everyone between the new Genin respected them as they couldn't believe that they had fought enemies that were so powerful.
But now, there was some new interest between Genin, the Chuunin exams. This exams would be very important for any Genin who wanted to be stronger. But there was something different this year, every leader of the rookie genin teams had recommended their students for this year's exam.
"Are you sure you want them to participate?" The Hokage asked. "I know Asuma's team could have a good performance thanks to Son Gohan, but what about the rest of you?"
"My team has the Fourth's son and Itachi's brother. I'm sure they'll be ok." Kakashi said.
"My students have improved a lot lately, I'm sure they will have a good performance in the exam." Kurenai explained.
"Then it's settled, your teams will participate in the exams." The Third said.
"So you're saying that we're going to participate in the Chuunin exams?" Shikamaru asked. "How troublesome…"
"But are we strong enough, Asuma-sensei?" Chouji asked, he wasn't sure if they were ready for the exams.
"Yeah, I'm not so sure that we're ready for something as important as the Chuunin exams." Ino added.
"Come on, guys, I'm sure we can do it." Gohan said, reassuringly. "If you feel that you're not ready I can help you with some training, anyway."
"Yeah, Gohan's right. There's nothing to worry about." Asuma said, scratching the back of his head.
"And when would this training be, Gohan?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yes! I want to train too." Chouji added
"When does the exams start?" Gohan asked, turning to Asuma.
"Next week, I believe." Asuma replied.
"Then it would be throughout this week, we can maybe start tomorrow." Gohan said, turning to his teammates.
"It's ok for me." Chouji said.
"I guess I'll have to get up early, how troublesome." Shikamaru said, getting his hands inside his pockets.
"Where do we meet?" Ino asked, she felt weak needing to ask for help, but she wanted to become a Chuunin so she'd train with his team.
"Maybe at Ichiraku or directly at the Third teaming ground." Gohan replied.
"Let's meet at the training ground." Shikamaru said.
"But what if other team is training there?" Chouji asked.
"Then we'll have to do a friendly battle to see who stays in there." Gohan said, laughing at his comment
"Yeah… haha." Everyone noticed Chouji's fake laughter.
"If there's another team we can split the training ground or go to other place, there's nothing to worry about." Gohan explained.
"Well yeah, I guess." Chouji said, feeling a little bit more calm.
"Anyway, we should rest today because there's a lot of training waiting for us!" Gohan said.
"Yeah, goodbye!" Shikamaru said before heading for his house.
"Bye!" Chouji and Asuma said as they headed for their respective houses.
"Goodbye, Gohan!" Ino said, hugging Gohan before leaving.
"Umm, that's weird, why didn't she hug anyone else? I guess it's nothing important.." Gohan thought, heading for his house afterwards.
The next day, team 10 met at the Third training ground, just as they had planned. Fortunately, there was no team in the place when they arrived, so they started training. To start, Gohan asked them to try to defeat him using their best techniques and fighting at a 100%. Just after he said this, Chouji used his Human Bullet Tank, which Gohan could barely avoid.
Everyone was astonished at Gohan's speed, could someone even be as fast as him? Shikamaru decided to use his Shadow Imitation Technique to trap Gohan and help Chouji hit him.
Gohan noticed the technique and started to fly to avoid the shadow.
"Wait, you can fly?!" Shikamaru asked, annoyed at Gohan's apparent infinite repertoire of techniques.
Chouji tried attacking Gohan when he was distracted by Shikamaru, but Gohan turned to stop Chouji with his hands, throwing him to the ground underground.
"Wait, where's Ino?" Gohan thought.
"Behind you! Mind Body Switch Technique!" Ino said, before taking control of Gohan's body.
"Now!" Gohan said, as he was controled by Ino.
Shikamaru used his shadow as Ino got Gohan's body down. Then, Ino was taken out of Gohan's mind by himself, but it was too late, he was trapped by Shikamaru's shadow. Gohan tried to escape, but Chouji was already behind him. Chouji used the Multi Size technique to smash Gohan to the ground. Gohan escaped Shikamaru's technique and immediately used his arms to receive Chouji's hit. The clash of Gohan's arms and Chouji's giant knuckles created a crater, but Gohan used a bit more power to stop Chouji's attack once and for all. Chouji felt astonished as his attack was deflected by Gohan and he fell back. Gohan's teammates were surprised and fell exhausted to the ground. The hybrid saiyan was a bit tired too, he had to admit he didn't expect them to be such a good combination when fighting.
"Whew, you took me by surprise." Gohan said as he sat down at the floor.
"H-How did you stop our combination?" Shikamaru asked, he still couldn't understand how Gohan was so powerful.
"I guess I was lucky hehe." Gohan said.
"You're just too powerful." Ino said, tiredly. "Your mind was so hard to control, it seemed impossible to hold it for more than 2 minutes!"
"Are you human?" Chouji asked as he lied down from the exhaustion.
"Hehehe." Gohan laughed nervously. "Anyway, we can start training now!"
Everyone felt astonished as Gohan got up to his feet. How could he not be exhausted after what he had done.
"Give us a break." Shikamaru said, annoyed.
"Ok, let's rest for a bit, then we'll start training." Gohan said.
"Right!" The Ino-Shika-Cho trio said.
After resting for a couple of hours, the trio started training with Gohan. The demi-saiyan remembered al the training he did with Piccolo, and tried to apply it to them. He wasn't as harsh as Piccolo, but he still tried to be a good mentor. He also try to make up new training methods of his own, such as carrying rocks for some time, trying to beat him in a race (obviously holding back) and trying to take him down.
While they were training, Gohan felt someone who was hiding in a tree behind him.
"Who's there?" Gohan asked, pointing to the tree. "Come out, already!"
Then, a boy who was dressed in a peculiar green uniform came out of the tree, followed by his teammates.
"Lee wanted to spy on you so he could study your fighting style." Tenten said, making Lee nervous.
"Yeah, he's scared that the rumours about you are true." Neji added. "But I want to prove it by myself, fight me."
"B-but-" Lee was interrupted by Gohan.
"We're training here, I can't fight you." The hybrid said, declining Neji's petition.
"I don't care, fight me." Neji demanded.
"Fight us." Lee corrected, getting in his fighting position afterwards. Although he felt really nervous.
"Are you su-" Gohan was interrupted by Neji's palm, hitting his bandages arm.
Rock Lee followed by kicking one of his legs, but Gohan disappeared just as he touched his leg.
"W-What?" Rock Lee asked to himself.
"Substitution jutsu?" Neji tried to explain what just happened. But Gohan simply disappeared, could it be that he was just that fast.
"Just leave us alone." Gohan said from behind Neji.
Neji was taken by surprise and turned to his back to try and hit Gohan, but he fell unconscious after Gohan quickly hit his neck. Lee was astonished at how simply the hybrid had defeated his rival, but then remembered that Neji hadn't used his Byakugan, so he calmed down a bit.
"Wow, who are you?" Chouji asked as team 10 came at Gohan when they noticed the fight.
"We are Team Guy! The strongest team in Konoha!" Lee said.
"Never heard of it." Shikamaru said, making Lee fall back.
"These 2 just wanted to test your friend to make sure he wasn't a problem during the exams." Tenten explained. "I tried to tell them not to do it but they wouldn't hear me."
"So you are going to participate in the exams, too?" Ino asked.
"Yep." Tenten replied.
"Is this guy Hinata's brother or something?" Gohan asked. "They have the same type of eyes."
"They're cousins. Everyone in the Hyuuga-clan have those eyes." Tenten said.
"Oh, right, I had forgotten." Gohan said, laughing nervously afterwards.
"Anyway, sorry for annoying you." Tenten said. "Let's go Lee, take Neji please."
"I'll beat you, whatever your name is!" Lee said before grabbing Neji and heading towards Tenten.
"That is a peculiar team, isn't it?" Ino said, cringing a bit.
"Yeah…" Gohan said, scratching the back of his head.
"So, what's next?" Chouji asked, referring to their training.
"As you've been so committed to your training, that would be it for today." Gohan said. "Go and rest for the rest of the day."
"Thank god, I was starting to get crazy from the exhaustion." Shikamaru said, relieved.
"Goodbye, then, I'm hungry." Chouji said. "Wanna come, anyone?"
"Yeah, I'm hungry, too." Shikamaru said.
"I'm good, I think I'll go home to sleep." Gohan said.
"I'll go with you guys." Ino said, before turning to hug Gohan. "Thanks for helping us with training. Goodbye!"
"I think that Ino is starting to like Gohan too much or something." Shikamaru thought. "That'll be annoying."
"Bye, Gohan!" Chouji and Shikamaru said.
"Bye." Gohan said, before trying to feel Naruto's power to see if he was at home.
He wasn't there, so he had to go walking, he preferred not to fly as he could make the villagers freak out.
Thanks for reading and have a nice one!
