Hey guys!

I hope you like this week's chapter!

Remember:

I DO NOT OWN DBZ NOR NARUTO.

"How's everything?" Shizune asked as she sat in a chair that was next to the bed.

"Horrible, I can't move at all." Kimimaro answered as he looked to the opposite side of the room. "You're useless at this."

"It's been some hours, don't exaggerate things." Shizune said as she cringed.

"Hmph." Was all Kimimaro could reply. He knew she had a point and that made him frustrated.

"Anyway, do you want me to stay here with you?" Shizune kindly asked as she smiled.

"No, go away." Kimimaro said as he finally looked at the woman, who nodded in understanding as she kept her smile and left the room shortly after.

"This is not possible." Gohan said as the blonde man kept his shocked expression. The saiyan then remembered Trunks and the fact that he came from the future, so he thought that time travelling was possible in that world, too. "N-Naruto?"

"No..." The man said, lowering his head and looking to the floor. Gohan tried to approach the man, but he quickly disappeared and reappeared right behind him, holding a Kunai just behind the saiyan's back.

As he felt the man pressing the Kunai against his back, the saiyan used his extraordinary speed to get away from the man and get behind him. After noticing his opponent's disappearance, the blonde-man turned to every direction to look for the boy, finally finding him above his head, flying.

Gohan suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the man, taking him by surprise. The boy used his surprise to hit his back, making him fly away.

"Who are you?" Gohan firmly asked as the man got up after being hit.

Unfortunately for the saiyan, the man used a substitution jutsu and escaped. He tried to feel his energy, but for any reason, he wasn't able to. Then, he wondered who the man could be, but he decided he'd ask the Hokage or his master later as he needed to focus on helping Naruto.

Naruto stood up to see that Sasuke had already done the same, although he appeared to be struggling to keep his position.

The blonde boy ran towards his opponent as the Uchiha covered his head with his arms. Naruto jumped as he was already close enough to Sasuke, aiming his knee to his friend's arms and finally hitting him.

As soon as his arms were hit by the blonde's knee, Sasuke grabbed one of his legs as Naruto was still in the air. After grabbing his leg, the Uchiha throwed him towards Hashirama's statue, damaging it in the process. The blonde got up short after hitting the statue, blood going down his arm just like a little river.

Now both boys were on similar conditions, both of them were considerably injured.

"Sasuke..." Naruto said as he cleaned the blood that had just started to come out from his mouth.

"Shut up." Sasuke replied as he took his last kunai out from his pocket.

"Don't make this harder, please." Naruto said as he got ready for the attack.

Sasuke did not answer. His silence made the environment really tense, which the blonde boy noticed.

As Sasuke's Sharingan's color became brighter, his cursed mark finally took over his body, transforming him into a monster with almost no resemblance of his past human form. This made Naruto nervous and afraid, but his determination was strong enough to make him focus on the battle.

The Uchiha, who had been smiling confidently at the blonde's shock-filled face, became serious again. A dense aura of orange chakra now covered Naruto's body as he had gained some facial traits similar to those of a fox.

Both ninjas now ran against each other. The two boys had different objectives, one wanted to kill the other and the other just wanted to take him back to the village.

"Why am I so eager to bring him back? Have we really got such a strong friendship? I'm not even sure if we're even 'friends' anymore." The blonde thought as he got closer and closer to the black haired ninja, the last of the Uchiha.

"What the hell happened?!" A horrified Tenten asked as she saw Lee enter the hospital with Kiba in his arms.

"The masked man..." Lee said as he stopped for a minute. Hinata could just cover her mouth with her hands as she saw Kiba in such a critical state. "He defeated us as if we were nothing."

"W-What?" Hinata asked as her face started to get filled by fear.

"So you don't know what he looks like, right?" Tenten asked as she tried to look for a solution.

"That does not matter now." Shikamaru said as he came from behind Ino and Tenten. "Lee, take Kiba to a doctor. We have to go to the forest, Naruto and Gohan are still there."

"But..." Hinata tried to protest, but she didn't find any good reason not to go there.

"Don't be stupid, Shikamaru." Ino said, taking everyone by surprise. The Nara raised his eyebrow as he looked at Ino, showing his confusion. "We told Gohan we were staying here, and either way, you're not fit for fighting."

"I'm pretty sure I-" Shikamaru couldn't end his phrase as he got kicked directly in the abdomen by Ino, making him fall to the floor. The pain made him take his hands to his abdomen, making Ino smile confidently.

"But what we'll we do? We can't just leave Naruto and Gohan there to die." Tenten asked, she really was worried about what could happen to them.

"Don't worry." Shizune said as she walked into the waiting room from behind Ino. "Kakashi and Might Guy are already there."

"How long have they been there?" Ino asked as she and the others cringed at the revelation.

"Since the start of the mission." Shizune calmly answered. She raised her eyebrow as she noticed the faces of the kids. "Did you really think we would send such young shinobi alone to such a high-ranked and dangerous mission?"

"I hope Hayate is okay." Guy said as his friend and himself went through the forest trying to find the remaining shinobi on the forest.

"He'll be okay, don't even worry." Kakashi said trying to make his friend and rival calm. "Anyway, I hope we find the boys alive."

Guy nodded in response as they continued their way through the dense forest.

As soon as they reached each other, the two young shinobi started to exchange punches and kicks, making the lake's waves bigger and stronger.

Even though he had gotten more power from the cursed seal, Sasuke could really notice Naruto's superiority. The blonde was stronger and faster than him, which made the Uchiha struggle a lot when having to keep up with his opponent's pace.

After several hits towards each other, Naruto's power finally overwhelmed Sasuke, which made the Uchiha furious. The last member of the Uchiha clan was sent flying towards Madara's statue, destroying one of it's feet.

As soon as he got up, he knew what he had to do, he had to kill Naruto at all costs. Suprisingly for Naruto, Sasuke charged a Chidori, but it's Sound was strangely stronger than the usual. This alarmed Naruto, who got ready for everything.

The Uchiha started running towards Naruto as quickly as he could possibly run. He was aiming for the head, he didn't even want to take risks.

"Die!" Sasuke screamed as he finally reached the blonde boy. Naruto's eyes were wide open due to the astonishment he was feeling at the moment.

As soon as the Chidori went through Naruto's chest, he exploded into smoke, revealing that it wasn't the real Naruto. Sasuke turned to look at every direction possible, but wasn't able to find his enemy.

He then thought of the obvious, he was beneath his feet, and he was right, the blonde ninja had done it again. The Uzumaki went out quickly and tried to attack the Uchiha, but with the help of his Sharingan, he was able to dodge every attack. Using the momentum, Sasuke quickly made a new Chidori, probably the weakest he had done, but it was enough, or at least that was what he thought.

"Shit." Naruto said as the Chidori got through his chest. He was totally shocked and disappointed in himself, he had just let his opponent counter attack him and he had succeeded.

"HAHAHA! FINALLY!" Sasuke started laughing and yelling crazily as he had finally defeated Naruto, someone that had humiliated him so much and yet he called himself a friend of his.

Naruto started spitting blood as Sasuke took his hand of his chest and continued laughing maniacally. But before falling down to the water, Naruto was grabbed by Gohan, who had just arrived thanks to his speed.

"SASUKEEE." A voice said from the distance.

"Shit." Kakashi said as he identified Gohan's voice and angry tone.

"Was that...?" Guy asked to himself, trying to identify the voice.

"It's Gohan let's go!" Kakashi said as he increased his speed, being followed by Guy, who did the same.

Sasuke's maniac smile vanished as he now had someone even stronger before him. He couldn't hide his fear, but he would try to kill him, he really thought he could.

Gohan simply used one hand to stop Sasuke's kick while still having Naruto on his shoulder. The Uchiha instantly knew how far Gohan's level was from his own. His confidence vanished totally. He now did not know how he'd go out of it.

"You don't deserve to be saved." Was all Gohan said before turning his back to Sasuke and leaving place flying.

"Saved?" Sasuke thought. Although his thoughts were interrupted by Orochimaru's sudden appearance.

"Where are the others?" Orochimaru asked as he just found Sasuke.

"Dead." The Uchiha coldly answered as he tried to hide the fear he'd gotten from Gohan.

"That's... unfortunate." Orochimaru said as he saw Kabuto's body floating in the lake. He grabbed it with his tongue and beckoned Sasuke to go with him, which he did, although he now doubted if he should really leave the village.

Kakashi and Guy had met Gohan in their way towards the Valley of the End. Gohan had told them to touch his shoulder for the teleporting technique as Naruto was in a really critical state. The 4 of them arrived at the village thanks to the technique and Naruto was taken to the hospital.

Everyone had asked what had happened, but Gohan ignores their questions and quickly took his friend to a doctor. Fortunately for them, Tsunade was already at the hospital treating other patients, and immediately treated Naruto.

As he got back, he ignored everyone's questions again and exited the place without even turning to look at any of his friends. He needed to meditate.

"What happened to him?" Lee asked as he stopped looking at his bandages for a moment to look at Gohan.

"Uh, I don't know." Tenten said as she shrugged.

"I'll go with him." Ino said as she quickly got up from her seat and ran towards the exit of the waiting room and then exited the hospital.

"How troublesome." Shikamaru said as he got up to go to the bathroom.

Hinata noticed Ino's determination and tried to emulate it by going to look for Naruto's room.

"I think we should go and take a look for Neji." Lee said as he struggled to get up.

"I'll take you to your room and I'll go take a look on Neji." Tenten said as she helped Lee walk.

"Hey! Wait!" Ino said, calling for Gohan, who struggled to ignore her. "Come on! Stop ignoring me!"

Gohan finally stopped walking and sat down in one of the training camps, as it was lonely and calm. He got in the same position Piccolo would do and started to levitate as he meditated.

Ino continued to talk to him, but he just wanted to medidtate for a moment. He didn't know if he could really live in such a cruel world, it just didn't suit him. He thought of ways in which he could improve everything, but he wasn't able to think of anything.

But as he dived through his thoughts, he heard a really familiar voice.

"Gohan? Can you hear me?" The voice said, making Gohan open his eyes and get in his feet out of shock.

"Dad?! Is that you?!" Gohan asked as Ino looked for the origin of the voice.

"Yes! Finally!" The voice said. "It's me, Gohan."

Gohan started to cheer as his father finally found a way to communicate with him. Then, he started to get curious about how he had done it. "But how could you do it? Talk to me I mean."

"Yeah... about that." Goku said as Gohan raised his eyebrow. At this point, Ino was simply hearing the conversation between the two, but she couldn't hide how confused she was. "Shenglong helped us."

"But why didn't you ask him to take me back?" Gohan asked, expecting his dad to say that he hadn't tried that.

"He can't." Goku answered as Gohan's look went down to the floor. His happiness dropped as he knew he wouldn't be able to see his family and friends anymore.

So that was the chapter. I hope you liked it.

Anyway, see you next week!
