Hey guys! So here's chapter 15! I hope you like it.

Remember:

I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.

Kimimaro was still in the air after Gohan's punch, even though had already hit at least 20 trees. He felt extreme pain and it got worse by every tree he hit,, he was sure that most of his bones were already broken. He couldn't deny that he felt disappointed in himself, which made him feel frustration. Orochimaru would surely think that he was just a useless piece of crap.

Gohan had been following his enemy as he flew in the air, but he started to go down as the white-haired ninja finally crashed against the floor. Kimimaro screamed in pain as he crashed. This scream made Gohan remember all the suffering he'd gone through, from his training with Piccolo to his fight against Cell. He felt sorry for his opponent, so he was ready to offer him his help.

As Gohan saw his face, he hardly identified the blood from his tattoos but he clearly saw the pain reflected in his face. Suddenly, he felt Kimimaro's fist in his abdomen. He looked at his opponent's face, but he was looking down to the floor. Gohan was sure of what the correct thing to do was.

"You don't have to do this." Gohan said as he grabbed Kimimaro's wrist and took it away from his abdomen. Kimimaro raised his face, revealing his tears of frustration, although he tried to hid his pain. Gohan give him a hit in the neck, strong enough to make him faint. "I'll take you to the village."

Gohan grabbed Kimimaro and put him on his shoulders. Then, he put two of his fingers on his forehead as he stood still and, suddenly, he disappeared.

Shikamaru was starting to sweat out of nervousness. He had already thought about a 1001 strategies, but all of them required him to stop his technique as this technique limited his movement. Although his physical abilities had improved a lot since training with Gohan, he knew that he couldn't afford a fight against the two headed ninja. He also knew that he would have close to no time to do anything after releasing his opponent of his technique. He noticed how his chakra was starting to drain out, which forced him to take a risk.

As soon as Sakon and Ukon saw that they were released from the shadow, they attacked Shikamaru as fast and hard as they could. The ninja from Konoha could hardly avoid their attacks as he waited for them to leave an opening for him to counter. He then started to deflect their attacks with kunai as Sakon and Ukon attacked him with their fists.

Sakon and Ukon noticed his strategy so they tried to attack him while avoiding his kunai, but it proved to be an unnecessarily risky plan. Finally, the two-headed ninja tried to avoid an attack as Shikamaru took advantage of this and cut one of his hands, making him scream. Shikamaru couldn't help but smile as his strategy had worked. He had gotten distracted for a second, but it was enough for the two-headed ninja to strike back.

Shikamaru was a bit dizzy after receiving a punch directly in the head, he could hardly stay up. As he struggled to stay up, he saw how his enemy ran towards him, ready to kill him. He raised his hand, trembling, when suddenly Sakon and Ukon stopped moving.

"What?!" Ukon said in a really furious tone. "Move, you piece of shit!"

"Come on, Shikamaru! Finish him!" Sakon yelled. Shikamaru was really confused, but did not hesitate to fatally attack his opponent. As his kunai nailed Sakon and Ukon's chest as the monster screamed in pain before finally dying.

Shikamaru quickly turned around in search for the one who had helped him, finally finding Ino, who was just behind him. As she was trying to get up, he helped her and told her about the situation. She couldn't hide her concern about Gohan as he was fighting the leader and probably the strongest of Orochimaru's servants. "Thanks for worrying about me." Shikamaru said, making Ino laugh.

As Ino stopped laughing, Gohan appeared next to them. He was shocked to see Ino there and reflected it in his face as he was hugged by the blonde girl. "I thought i had told you not to follow us."

"I couldn't just leave you fight by yourselves." Ino explained as she stopped hugging Gohan. "Shikamaru would've died if I hadn't helped."

The Nara nodded as Gohan turned to look at him for confirmation, turning to look back at Ino. He nodded as a form of admitting that she was right.

"We have to go for Naruto, he has to be fighting Sasuke and Kabuto by now." Shikamaru said, to which Gohan responded by nodding. "Take us to them, Gohan."

Gohan nodded as he took two of his fingers into his forehead. Shikamaru and Ino placed their hands on Gohan's shoulder as he was about to teleport to Naruto's position. "Got him." Gohan said as the three of them disappeared.

After following Kabuto and Sasuke for several minutes now, and he was getting closer to them by the minute. Sasuke was frustrated by his inability to lose Naruto, he wasn't sure if it was Kabuto's fault for forcing him to go slower, or if it was because Naruto was simply too fast for them, the only thing he knew is that he was about to stop and defeat his friend for good. In the end, it wasn't necessary as the forest finally ended and gave a step to the valley of the end. Sasuke jumped quickly into the valley, but Kabuto took a bit more time to do it. Naruto took advantage of Kabuto being slower than the Uchiha and quickly nailed a Kunai in his back as he jumped into the valley, too, following Sasuke.

The Uchiha turned to look behind him, seeing Naruto standing just in front of him and Kabuto behind the blonde, although he appeared to be injured.

"Why do you make this so hard?!" Sasuke complained. He felt frustrated as it had already been hard to make the decision of leaving the village. "Stop insisting and fuck off!"

"I won't let you go, I'll stop you." Naruto said as he got ready to fight against his friend. "Even if I have to break all your bones."

Kabuto was about to attack Naruto, but his chest was suddenly hit by a kunai, making him fall down to the water. Sasuke saw this, making him activate his Sharingan and getting in his fighting stance. "Then you'll die."

Naruto started to create clones of himself as he saw Sasuke coming at him. The Uchiha continuosly destroyed this clones as his opponent created 2 clones for every one he destroyed. Finally, the army of clones appeared to end, but Sasuke couldn't find Naruto there. Meanwhile, Naruto created several clones while he was underwater. Then, those clones went out of the water, surrounding the young avenger.

The Uchiha throwed shurikens all around him, destroying the clones quickly. The avenger noticed that none was the real Naruto, so he did not lower his guard. Then, Naruto went out of the water that was under him and punched his chin, knocking him off with a powerful kick afterwards.

Sasuke used his Great Fireball jutsu to stop his flight and regain balance. The blonde ninja saw this and quickly noticed that Sasuke hadn't stopped throwing fire out of his mouth, so he started to walk back as the fire got closer to him by the minute.

Gohan, Ino and Shikamaru suddenly appeared in Konoha, making Ino and Shikamaru confused.

"What are we doing here?" Ino asked in confusion. As she raised her head, she noticed Gohan's serious expression.

"I can't let you risk your lives." The half-saiyan said, he clearly was concerned about what could happen in that forest. "I sensed really strong energies in there, strong enough to kill you with close to no effort."

"I don't care! I have to help as much as I can." Ino said, she didn't know why she was trying to convince Gohan if she could just go to the forest by herself instead of losing more time. Gohan got his fingers to her forehead and said on last thing before disappearing. "Well, sorry then, because I care."

Ino tried to touch Gohan arm, but she was stopped by Shikamaru, who grabbed her arm. He shook his head as she looked at him. She really got mad at the two boys, but decided to go and see if Chouji was alright instead of following Gohan into the forest. Shikamaru followed her as he literally prayed for everyone to be alright by the end of the mission.

As the two ninjas arrived at the hospital, Tenten, who was sitting in the waiting room, stood up and asked if the mission was over. Shikamaru shooked his head in denial, which made Tenten worried. "Then Lee and Kiba are still there."

"What?! Weren't they here?" Shikamaru asked as he showed his deep concern. Tenten nodded in response and then explained the situation to him.

"We have to go back there." Ino said as she turned to look at Shikamaru for acceptance, but wasn't able to find it.

"Gohan can take care, maybe that was why he left us here." The Nara deduced. "Let's go and check on Chouji."

"I'm afraid he's still being treated." Tenten said, with clear concern in her face. "Neji was already treated, but he is still unconscious. I don't know why they've had complications with Chouji."

Ino and Shikamaru asked for Chouji's room number and as soon as Tenten gave it to them, they went as fast as they possibly could to the room.

"Do you really know where we're going?" Lee asked nervously as he failed to recognize any of the places they were going through. Kiba didn't know what to answer, he didn't know where they were but he wouldn't admit it. After thinking for a moment, he was ready to answer and so he opened his mouth to talk.

Lee was totally astonished, this astonishment quickly turned into raw fear. Kiba had been kicked directly in the face from up a tree as one of the masked men appeared. Lee knew that Kiba was now either dead or heavily injured, which made him tremble. The masked man throwed Kiba to Lee as the boy quickly checked if his friend was alive, sighing in relieve as he felt his heartbeat.

"Go away, we already warned you." The masked man turned and started to walk away, thinking that they'd leave instantly. As he walked away, Lee pulled himself together and attacked the man, quickly disappearing and reappearing around him as a distraction and finally nailing a kunai in his chest. The boy's face now showed surprise, the man had exploded into smoke. He was a clone.

Lee grabbed Kiba and tried to escape as fast as he could, but his way was already blocked by the blonde masked man. As the man stood in his way, Lee smiled confidently smiled as he thought the man was a clone, too. As the boy tried to kick him, the man grabbed his leg and throwed him away. "Go away, final warning."

Lee got up and wasn't able to react in any way apart from trembling. The man was forced to knock him out, so he started to walk towards him. Lee remembered Guy's words, he always told him to never surrender, and he would not fail his master. Guy's apprentice jumped back and left Kiba in a place that was away from the danger. Then, Lee got in front of his opponent as he got in his fighting stance and invited his enemy to attack him.

"I see, you're brave, but stupid." The man said as he throwed a kunai at the boy and then appeared suddenly next to him as the boy avoided the kunai he had previously thrown. Lee was astonished but didn't hesitate to kneel down and kick his legs. The man easily dodged the kick by jumping and pounded the boy with a powerful punch.

As Lee got up, his face was trampled by his opponent's foot. The boy knew he was going to die there, but he never thought he would be defeated that quickly. He took out a kunai and then nailed it in the man's leg, getting a chance to escape. The man quickly got himself together and attacked the boy, but his attack was blocked a another arm, a more muscular arm than even his own. Gohan had arrived just in time. "Go away, Lee, take Kiba with you. I'll take care of him."

Lee nodded as he ran towards Kiba and grabbed him, escaping shortly after, leaving Gohan alone to fight the mysterious man by himself.
