Hey guys!
Sorry for the delay, but this days are complicated, but anyway.
I hope you like today's chapter and remember:
I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO
"Lady Tsunade, I believe this may concern you." Shizune told her boss.
"What happened?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Son Gohan has come, he says he's sensed a great threat." Shizune explained.
"Let him in." The Fifth ordered.
The assistant nodded and proceeded to open the door.
As Gohan entered, Tsunade noticed his concern and it kind of made her concerned, too.
"Hokage-sama, I think we have a serious problem." Gohan quickly said. "Back in my world I had a fight against a being so powerful that was capable of destroying the entire solar system, actually, that fight sent me here."
"W-What?!" Tsunade asked, Gohan's statement took her by surprise. "The entire solar system?"
"Yes. But the thing is, when I arrived here, he apparently died as I cannot sense his energy anymore." Gohan added. "But like an hour ago, I sensed his energy melt with Orochimaru's, he isn't as strong as my enemy was, or that's at least what I sense, but he still is stronger now than before."
Tsunade looked with a shocked expression at Gohan, then her face filled with fear.
"Do you think you can defeat him?" Tsunade asked.
"Maybe, but I don't know any of his techniques and that could lead to my defeat." Gohan said. "But if we fight together, we can win."
"I cannot leave my duty as a Hokage, but maybe Jiraiya can help you." Tsunade said. "Although you'll have to wait for him to return from his mission."
"Understood." Gohan said. "Please notify me when Jiraiya arrives."
"Yep." Tsunade said, before beckoning Gohan to leave and returning to her boring duties.
Sasuke, along with Naruto and Konohamaru, had been hearing the conversation between Gohan and the Hokage. After hearing it, Naruto and Konohamaru looked at each other in shock and fear. But Sasuke was actually interested by the fact that Orochimaru had now become so powerful. The Uchiha had remembered his proposal of training him and he was now sure he'd take it.
As Naruto and Konohamaru heard Gohan approaching the door, they quickly ran away, being followed by the Uchiha, who had been lost in his thoughts.
Now, Naruto, Sasuke and Konohamaru had trained with Gohan for a week, and they had learned one or two new things.
The boys had learned how to give their energy to other people to help them recover, and Konohamaru learned how to do a Ki barrier. Sasuke didn't felt as if it was necessary and Naruto wasn't good enough at controlling chakra to do one.
Now, Sasuke wanted to prove himself and fight against Naruto again, to measure their power.
"Naruto, fight me." Sasuke said. "I want to measure how much I've improved since I started training."
"Yes! I wanted to ask you the same thing!" Naruto excitedly replied.
"Then I'll be the referee." Gohan said.
"I don't think a referee is needed." Konohamaru said. "The can handle themselves."
"It is, what if any of them go out of control?" Gohan replied. "You never know."
"Whatever." Konohamaru said.
Sasuke and Naruto got in their fighting stance, looking directly to each other, ready for the fight. The blonde ninja quickly kicked Sasuke's ribs, making the black-haired ninja throw up some saliva. Then, the Uchiha punched Naruto in the face and then attempted to kick his ribs, but Naruto quickly created a shadow clone and blocked the attack. Sasuke, shocked, tried to kick him again, but this time Naruto avoided it. Then, the Uzumaki quickly throwed shurikens at Sasuke, who jumped and dodged them all, but suddenly 3 clones of Naruto appeared in front of him. The Uchiha used his great fireball jutsu, but the clones exploded into smoke which made Sasuke nervous as the real Naruto wasn't there. The blonde ninja punched Sasuke's back and then knocked him away, leaving his opponent on a very distant location.
The Black-haired ninja was frustrated and shocked by his rival's incredible speed and strength, he was still superior. Then, he desperately thought about an strategy, but he then decided to use the Chidori. As Sasuke started charging his Chidori, Naruto did the same but with his Rasengan. Gohan thought that he should stop the fight before the two techniques clashed, but he still was a bit hesitant. As the half-saiyan got out of his thoughts, he saw how the two techniques were about to clash and it was already impossible for him to stop them, but suddenly, a white-haired ninja appeared and blocked the two attacks, stopping the fight.
"Don't do that, you could destroy the place, or maybe even kill someone." The ninja said. "You surely are irresponsible."
"Huh? Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto tried to get up as he looked confused at his master.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke angrily asked.
"I believe it is obvious, but anyway, I'm here to stop your stupid fight." The silver-haired jounin explained.
"Don't intervene." The uchiha menacingly said, walking towards Naruto to continue the battle, but he was knocked out by his master.
"Take him to his house, I'm off." Kakashi said, leaving as quickly as he finished his phrase.
Naruto looked at Gohan, who simply shrugged at his friend.
"That guy is weird." Konohamaru said. "He came only for stopping them? And how much time has he been here?"
"Now that I think about it, it is kind of weird." Gohan replied. "Anyway, he probably had his reasons."
Naruto simply got up and took Sasuke with him.
"I guess we should go with him." Gohan said.
"Yeah, let's go." Konohamaru said, running towards Naruto while Gohan simply walked quickly.
"Shit! Shit! SHIT!" Sasuke yelled in frustration. "How can he still be stronger than me? What the fuck is he?!"
Sasuke was yelling alone in his house, feeling useless and weak despite Gohan's training.
"I improved so much physically and yet he is still faster and stronger than me." Sasuke told to himself. "ARGH!"
Sasuke grabbed a shuriken and threw it towards one of the walls, so hard that it went through the wall. This only helped the Uchiha to get even more frustrated as that just proved that he had improved immensely.
But then, someone knocked his door. He went to open it, expecting it to be either Naruto or Gohan, but to his surprise, no one was there. He felt confused, but he didn't think that much about it and just closed the door. As he went back to his room, he saw Kabuto, apparently waiting for him. Sasuke opened his eyes in shock at the sight of the silver-haired ninja.
"Hello, Sasuke." Kabuto said, turning to look at the Uchiha.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, grabbing a kunai and taking it behind his back.
"Orochimaru wanted to offer his training to you." Kabuto replied.
Sasuke kept silence as he glared carefully at Kabuto.
"I see you've been angry." Kabuto said, pointing to the hole the shuriken has left in the wall.
"And what can offer Orochimaru to me that I cannot find in this village?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, he's one of the legendary Sannin, I'm sure he can teach you a lot of interesting things." Kabuto said. "Remember your friend has been training with another Sannin, maybe you can keep up with him with Orochimaru's training."
Sasuke had forgotten that Naruto had been training with Jiraiya, he thought that training with Orochimaru would make things a bit more equal. But before answering Kabuto, he remembered something else: joining Orochimaru would mean leaving the village along with his friends. Sasuke doubted for a moment, but still accepted the offer either way, he needed to defeat Naruto and then Itachi.
"Good. Orochimaru will be pleased with your answer." Kabuto said. "I have to leave now, so excuse me."
Sasuke nodded in response.
"But before I leave, we'll come for you in two days exactly." The silver-haired ninja explained. "You'll meet with the Sound Four at the outskirts of the village, then you'll meet with me at the Valley of the End. Then we'll escort you to Orochimaru's hiding place."
The Uchiha nodded again.
"I'll leave now." Kabuto said.
Kabuto then exploded into smoke.
"A shadow clone." Sasuke told to himself.
Two days had already passed. Sasuke was ready to leave, he had everything he needed. He then proceeded to head for the exit of the village, but Sakura saw him run in the rooftops, which made her follow him.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked as she got in Sasuke's way.
"None of your business." The uchiha answered. "Now get out of my way."
"Wait, are you leaving the village?" Sakura asked in shock as she saw where her friend was heading.
"Get put of the way!" Sasuke yelled, pushing Sakura away, making her fell off.
"Hey!" Sakura yelled as she got up.
Sakura tried to keep up with Sasuke, but he was too fast, so Sakura decided to go and tell his friends as fast as possible.
After searching for some time, she finally found her friends, who were fortunately together, at least most of them. She then explained the situation to them, and Shikamaru , Naruto and Gohan decided to tell the Hokage, so Gohan helped them by teleporting them there.
As they arrived, they asked for an emergency meeting with Tsunade, to which Shizune fortunately accepted.
"Lady Tsunade, the new Chuunin asked for an emergency meeting." Shizune said.
"What for?" Tsunade asked while looking at a paper she was signing.
"Sasuke is out of the village." Naruto said.
Sasuke was running as fast as he could through the rooftops, he could finally see the gates of the village. As he arrived at the gates, someone was already waiting for him.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Kakashi furiously asked.
"Wow, you were early." Sasuke pointed out.
"Of course! I won't let you leave the village." The silver haired ninja replied. "That's my job as your sensei and as a jounin."
"Whatever." Sasuke said carelessly. "I'll leave anyway and there's nothing you can do to stop me."
"Sure?" Kakashi said before several clones of himself attacked Sasuke from behind.
The Uchiha responded by jumping up high and throwing a Masenko at the clones. The copy-nin watched in awe how Sasuke had beaten his clones easily.
"So it is true that you've been training with Gohan." Kakashi pointed out.
Sasuke activated his Sharingan because he knew he'd need it against Kakashi.
"So you'll try to defeat me? That's interesting." The silver haired ninja got in his fighting stance.
Sasuke throwed a Ki ball at the floor, creating a dust cloud and using it to escape. But his master wasn't going to let him go that easily, so, for Sasuke's surprise, Kakashi appeared in front of him, punching him towards the dust cloud. The Uchiha was now in a difficult situation: he had to either escape or fight one of the strongest ninja alive. The boy definitely needed to escape, but he needed an excellent strategy for him to fool Kakashi. He decided to throw energy balls to his sides as a distraction and then jumped up high again, but this time he threw a Kunai at Kakashi, who exploded into smoke, meaning it was a shadow clone.
The silver-haired knew as soon as the clone was killed that he had failed.
"We don't know why, but we'd like to arrange a mission to go for him." Shikamaru added.
"Sakura tried to stop him, but he was simply too fast for her." Gohan said.
Tsunade looked up at the boys, with a really serious face.
"We can't handle another rogue Uchiha." Tsunade said. "He's probably going with Orochimaru, so it's worse."
"How do you know?" Naruto asked.
"Jiraiya told me that Orochimaru had a plan that included training Sasuke." Tsuande explained. "Either way, your new mission is to get Sasuke back at all costs."
The boys nodded in response.
"We'll need a team of 5 to be sure to have enough people." Shikamaru said.
"Maybe more, although some of your friends are busy, such as Shino." Tsunade added.
"What about we three, Chouji and Neji?" Gohan suggested.
"That'll be good." Tsunade said. "Now go!"
"Right!" The three boys said, bowing at the Hokage afterwards.
So that was it for now! This will probably be the last chapter of the year. But next year I'll try to keep the pace up!
Anyway, I hope you have a nice new year's eve and see you later!
