Hey, how's it going? I hope everything's okay.

Anyway, I hope you like today's chapter, and remember:

I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.

"Naruto." Gohan said as he knocked Naruto's bedroom's door. "Are you okay?"

The onyx haired warrior was worried about his roommate and friend, he hadn't gone out of his rooms since the funeral of the Third Hokage.

"Naruto?" Gohan said, trying to make Naruto talk.

The hybrid saiyan finally had an idea, he would offer him training, Naruto never rejects training. He, himself, had been training a lot, too, more than usual.

"I know you're having a bad time," Gohan said. "But, what about we go to train a bit? You and me, like some months ago."

Naruto raised his head, showing his surprised face, he hadn't trained with Gohan in a long time. He got up to open the door and as he could see his roommate's smile, he nodded. The saiyan gave Naruto a gigantic smile.

"Then, let's eat something and get ready!" Gohan said with a really happy tone.

Naruto nodded again and gave Gohan a little smile.

Gohan, who had already cooked some food, started to eat first, as Naruto ate slowly. The saiyan stopped eating as he saw the blonde ninja.

"I've lost important people, too." Gohan said.

"Yeah? Like whom?" Naruto asked, he was curious about who could someone as strong as Gohan lose.

"My father died, and it was because of me." Gohan answered, lowering his head, staring at his food. "I also lost my master once, it was my fault, too."

Naruto noticed how Gohan had lost his cheerfulness and was now dull and maybe even a sad.

"I just can't believe someone died because of you." Naruto replied.

"Oh, don't worry, I have already gone through that, so don't worry." Gohan said, trying to focus the conversation on his friend's problem. "The point is that I know what you feel and that I want to make you feel better."

"Yeah…" Naruto said, remembering the motive of his sadness.

"Anyway, how's it going with Sakura?" Gohan said, giving him a naughty face.

"Umm…" Naruto started to get nervous, he blushed as he didn't know what to answer. "She still likes Sasuke." He finally answered, letting his face down in defeat.

"Really? Looks like she won't easily forget that guy." Gohan said with a thoughtful face. "Doesn't she understand that he just hates her presence?"

"I think I made her understand that, but she still likes him." Naruto explained. "It's as if she liked being treated as trash."

"Yeah, that's weird, it's just as if she was some weird bad written character." Gohan pointed out, remembering some of the fiction books he read back in his world.

"What?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, forget it." Gohan nervously replied, scratching the back of his head.

"So, how're you doing with-" Naruto was interrumpted by Gohan, who stood up quickly.

"I have to get ready for the training, you should too!" He said as he went to his room.

The son of the Fourth cringed at his friend's reaction, heading to his rooms to change his clothes.

"I want to try your Rasengan!" Gohan said, as he got in position to charge his Masenko.

"Let's do it!" Naruto replied excitedly.

As the hybrid charged his Masenko, his blonde friend made his Rasengan. Gohan threw his technique at his roommate, making him use his Rasengan to break through the technique. Surprisingly, Naruto went through the Masenko, but his Gohan quickly appeared behind him and punched him to the floor.

"Aw man, what's the point when you're so strong?" Naruto complained.

"What are you talking about? You almost hit me with that Rasengan!" The onyx-haired warrior replied.

"Yeah of course, as if you'd tell me how weak I am." Naruto didn't believe his friend's words.

"I'm just going to say that you're the one with more potential between your friends, and that's saying a lot as one of those is Sasuke." Gohan pointed out.

"Wait, how do you know?" The blonde ninja asked.

"I can feel your energy, as well as your hidden potential. I learned this from my master as he could feel my inner potential." The half saiyan replied.

"Am I really that good? I mean, I knew I was the best, but I didn't know that I was that good." Naruto asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure that if you keep training you'll be the Hokage sooner than you think." Gohan answered.

Naruto could just smile at his friend's comment. Then, he went to hug his friend, who hugged him back.

"So who'll be the next Hokage?" Danzo asked, looking at everyone in the room.

"I propose Jiraiya as the new Hokage." An old man next to Danzo said.

"I thought I had told you that I won't be the next Hokage." Jiraiya replied.

"Then who do you propose?" The old man asked.

"Tsunade." He said. "I'll search for her if necessary."

"I guess she's the next candidate, yes." An old woman said thoughtfully.

The old man and Danzo both were clearly against the idea of Tsunade, but finally, the old man nodded at Jiraiya, accepting his mission of searching for Tsunade.

"I have a little petition, too." Jiraiya added. "I want to take the son of Minato with me."

The old lady tried to say something but was interrumpted by the old man.

"That would mean that you have to take care of him with your life. Konoha can't lose it's most powerful weapon." The old man said.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Jiraiya said, he was trying to keep himself calm at the elder's comment about Naruto.

"Then you can take the kid with you." The old man finally said.

As Jiraiya thanked the old man, he went out of the room and headed to Naruto's house.

"Huh? That's weird." Jiraiya said to himself. "Where's Naruto?"

He had arrived at his pupil's house to search for him. He took a seat to think a bit about where Naruto would be, but then the door opened as two figures, one more muscular than the other one, entered the house.

"I'm hungry." The muscular figure said. "Should we go out to eat something or maybe we could eat ramen for today. We have a lot anyway."

"I think that Ramen will do." The slimmer figure said, turning the light of the kitchen on, finding Jiraiya.

Naruto simply cringed at Jiraiya being there, to which Jiraiya responded by waving at him nervously.

"What are you doing here? And who are you?" Gohan asked, showing visible confusion.

"He is Jiraiya… my master." Naruto explained, scratching his head.

"The perverted one?" The half saiyan asked, remembering Master Roshi and cringing at the memory.

Naruto nodded as Jiraiya waved nervously at Gohan, who waved back at the old man. Jiraiya got up from his seat.

"Naruto, we have a mission, that's why I'm here." He suddenly took a more serious tone.

"I won't tell you where my froggy is." Naruto said.

Jiraiya cringed at Naruto's comment while Gohan directly fell back.

"No no, a real mission, stupid kid." Jiraiya said. "We'll go to find the next Hokage."

"Really?!" Naruto asked excitedly. "Who is he?"

"She used to be my teammate, she is called Tsunade." Jiraiya explained, remembering his old friend and her attributes too.

Gohan cringed at the old man's face, waving off the room after taking a bowl of instant ramen.

"When will we go?" Naruto asked.

"Right now!" Jiraiya said, opening the window for them to exit the house.

The blonde ninja simply pointed to the door, meaning that they could exit the house using the door, to which his master replied by lowering his head in defeat. They headed for the door, and as they exited they said goodbye to Gohan, who waved them back while he ate his bowl of ramen.

Two jounin were walking by a little river that was in the village.

"So… would you like to eat something?" Asuma asked.

"Yeah, why not?" Kurenai happily answered.

But suddenly, they saw two people wearing a really peculiar black robe. They recognised one of the two guys and quickly crossed to the other side of the river to face them. They arrived and got in the way of the two mysterious guys, who simply stood still.

"Itachi Uchiha, why do you return to Konoha?" Asuma asked in a menacing tone.

"It is none of your business." The shark-looking guy said. "Now get out of our way or we'll kill you."

The other guy simply stood still, watching Asuma and Kurenai carefully.

"We won't let you do whatever you want to do." Kurenai firmly said, getting in her fighting position.

Asuma did the same and took a kunai out.

"Kill them." The other figure said.

The shark-looking guy attacked the two jounin, using a water jutsu, but he was interrumpted by Kakashi, who used another water jutsu to block it, while a clone appeared behind Itachi and got a Kunai next to his throat.

"What are you doing here?" Asuma asked.

"I told you to take care of this two, but now I see that you're not capable of doing so." Kakashi explained.

"Now talk." The other Kakashi said as he got the kunai even closer to Itachi's throat.

Itachi turned his head to look at Kakashi.

"Hatake, Kakashi." He coldly said.

"Uchiha, Itachi And Hoshigaki, Kisame, one of the 7 swordsmen of the village hidden in the mist." One of the two Kakashi said.

"Oh I know you know our names, what an honor." Kisame said sarcastically.

"Yeah…" Kakashi said, as he took a kunai.

Kisame quickly took his sword out.

"Stop it already, Kisame." The Uchiha ordered.

Everyone looked at Itachi with visible surprise in their faces.

"That would cause unnecessary commotion in the village and would make our mission harder." He continued. "Remember what we came for."

"And what is it? Why did you came for?" Kakashi quickly asked.

"It's none of your business!" Kisame yelled, taking his fighting posture.

"The legacy of the Fourth Hokage." Itachi coldly answered.

The jounin of Konoha looked at Itachi, they were shocked at what he had said. The Uchiha used this distraction to attack them.

First, he ordered Kisame to attack the Kakashi that was in front of him, which was a shadow clone. Then, he attacked the one that was behind him, who went into the river and used a water wall, blocking Itachi's water jutsu.

"I see you sensed my movements." Itachi pointed out.

"But you cannot sense all of them." Another Itachi said from behind Kakashi, nailing a Kunai in his back.

Kurenai went into the river to help Kakashi, but that one disolved into water, being rescued by the real Kakashi. Then, the three of them stood in front of the Uchiha, who activated his Sharingan.

"Close your eyes!" The silver-haired ninja ordered. "Don't look him directly in the eyes!"

The two of them closed his eyes, following orders, and Kakashi just closed his normal eye, leaving his Sharingan open.

"You sure are stubborn, you won't be able to stand a chance against Itachi's genjutsu." Kisame said, laughing at Kakashi.

The silver-haired ninja decided to attend the shark-looking guy and attacked Itachi before he could use any genjutsu. The Uchiha avoided every attack Kakashi did, but eventually got tired and took distance from the silver-haired ninja.

"Let's go Kisame, I've had enough." He said.

Asuma and Kurenai aimed to attack him, but a tired Kakashi stopped them, beckoning them to stay there and let them go.

As the two guys left, Kakashi turned to them.

"They won't find him here." He said, before falling down to the water.

Suddenly, Might Guy appeared, asking what had happened. After Kurenai explained it to him, he took Kakashi to the hospital.

"What will you teach me now?" Naruto asked, he was curious about what his master would teach him next.

"Before teaching you anything else, you need to master the Rasengan and the summoning technique." Jiraiya explained.

"But I do!" Naruto said.

"No, you don't. You can only make a small and weak rasengan and you depend on the Kyubi for summoning a good Toad." The perverted man explained.

"So you're telling me that the rasengan can be stronger?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Yep." Jiraiya simply answered.

Naruto cheered in excitement after his master's response.

"Oh, look!" Jiraiya said, pointing to some buildings the they could see from their position. "I think we found the village."

As Guy arrived at the hospital and left Kakashi to the doctors, he saw that Sasuke was walking towards him.

"What happened to him?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing important, he just fought Itachi, but he's okay." Guy said giving a radiant smile, obviously before noticing his mistake and trying to fix it. "I meant a ninja like Itachi , not Itachi-"

"Itachi is back?!" Sasuke said. "I'll go for him, where is he?"

"I don't know, and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you, are you crazy or what?" Guy said. "Don't go anywhere near him, you'll just die."

"I guess I'll have to ask that Gohan guy to take me to him." The young avenger said, leaving the hospital and running towards Naruto's house.

So that's it for now, guys!

I hope you liked today's chapter.
