It's time for chapter 7. Hope you enjoy it. I don't own DBZ or Naruto. We get to also see how the Saiyan trio is doing. This story is brought to you by a twenty-two year old Christian.
Ch 7. Meeting the Team
It has been five months since the gang had moved into Konoha. They all received jobs as shinobi. Bardock received the rank of Jonin, and was going to be given a squad of Genin very soon. Goku, Krillin, Tien, and Chiaotzu were given the rank of Chunin. Even Yamcha, but he decided to do it part time to keep with his career as a Base Ball star. Chi-Chi and Bulma also became Chunin, but they weren't going to be doing the same things that the others were doing. Chi-Chi, is being trained by Tsunade to be a medical ninja, so she may treat Goku and Bardock's wounds from training. As for Bulma she is working there part time as well, and is studying seals so she may be able to incorporate them into modern technology.
"So dad, tomorrow's the big day." Goku asked, his hirarate on his forehead.
"Yep, tomorrow I'm getting my first Genin team." Bardock said as he sat down on the couch. He was wearing a green turtle style gi, with a red obi, wristbands, his signature headband, blue boots and his hiratate on his right arm.
"So who is it that your going to be teaching?"
"Let's see here, their names are Hyuga Kikyo, she's the top konochi. Uchiha Isamu, he's the class rookie. Then there's Takemaru Kazuki, he's the class dobe."
"Why are you training them?" Chi-Chi asked, "I expected you to train the best of the best."
"Well it's a tradition around here to do this sort of thing. You put the top male and female students with the one who did the worse that graduated. Also Kazuki has a lot of potential. One thing I learned before I died last time, was to never underestimate the weakest looking one." Bardock said with experience.
"How do you know that?"
"Kakarot did have a power level of two when he was born. Now look at him. Now he's getting stronger with each passing day. No one ever thought he would get this far I'll bet you anything."
At that moment while Naruto was trying to crawl, but instead is going in circles. Gohan on the other hand, was crawling circles around Naruto. Seriously. Gohan was developing at a faster rate than Naruto. He's been crawling around since he was three months. Naruto was happy for his tailed brother, and started to give it another try. Putting his knees under himself. He began to try and move them forward. But instead ended up going backwards. Either way, Naruto was now beginning to crawl, and was squealing with joy. Gohan joining in with his own sequels of delight as well.
Goku saw this first, and immediately informed the others, "Look everyone! Naruto's finally crawling!" he exclaimed with pure joy.
"Way to go Naruto." Bardock cheered. Chi-Chi was happy and was left speechless. At that moment, she couldn't be happier.
…
The next day Bardock got to meet his team. He was told that before they could be ninja, they had to pass a test of his own choosing. So for the next hour before he met his team. He thought of ways to test them and see if they can work together as a team. Then he realized, that it was as simple as that. He smiled at his brilliantly simple idea.
…
It was time to meet his team, and as he walked through the halls of the Ninja Academe for the first time in his life. He saw a lot of classrooms, and knew he had to be one more floor up before he would reach his team. But he wanted to see how it was done. And if he was a little late, then so what? At least he wasn't absurdly late like Kakashi was every morning for their training. That always got on his nerves.
It was pretty simple, all he had to do was walk into the right room, ask for his team, and he left with them to do whatever for his exam. He could have them take it today or tomorrow. His choice, but it had to be by tomorrow so he could tell the Hokage if they had passed or failed his test.
He walked up the stairs, and made his way to the room where he was to meet his students. When he walked in he saw that he was just in time, and he wasn't the last one that needed to pick up his team, there were still a few teams left.
"Ah Saiyan Bardock." the Chunin instructor said. He was a veteran teacher in the academe. "I see you made it just in time. Some of the Jonin came early and took their students during lunch."
"Guess they wanted it over and done with." he said, "I'm here for team five."
At that moment, a hyper redhead boy, a blushing brown haired girl, and a mellow black duck-butt haired boy stood up. Kazuki smiled as he walked down unlike the others. He smiled back at the boy. He reminded of his old friend Tora when they were kids with that smile of his. He decided to take them to the roof so they could learn about each other.
"Alright, let's start with your names, likes, and dislikes, hobbies, and plans for the future. I'll start. My name is Saiyan Bardock. I like a lot of things, and I dislike other things. I have lots of hobbies, and my plans for the future… I don't think that's any of your business." 'Let's see if they catch on.'
'All we got was his name.' Isamu thought to himself.
'So that's how he plays it. Interesting.' Kikyo said in her mind.
"What the? Are you keeping secrets Sensei?" Kazuki blurted out. The Uchiha glared at him thinking he was stupid, but then he realized he was right and was shocked.
"Very good Kazuki, I knew I'd like you." Bardock said making the redhead blush in embarrassment.
"Playing favorites already Sensei?" Isamu asked with a hint of ire in his voice.
"I'm just saying I like that he wasn't afraid to voice his thoughts."
"Oh, so now your saying I'm a coward?"
"You do not use that tone to your superior!" Bardock shouted, as he placed some killing intent in his words. It worked as the boy backed off.
"Alright then Kazuki, you go first." Bardock said to the boy.
"My name is Takemaru Kazuki. I like making people laugh at my antics. I dislike people who can't take a joke. Even when it's me making fun of myself. Unless they're an Aburame, they never laugh. So I'm okay with that. My hobbies are of course pranks and practical jokes. My goal in life is to become an academe teacher for trap making"
"Trap making?" Isamu asked, "I thought you'd want to become a comedian?" He had not a trace of sarcasm in his voice.
"I myself thought the same thing," Kikyo said in an even tone.
"I thought there was a class for that." Bardock said in a surprised tone.
"No there's not." Isamu said, "Besides why would you want to do that? They have nothing in common."
"As a matter of fact Isamu, they do." Kazuki said, " They have the same process to them. You have to know the area, along with what time they do everything, and have a plan of what your gonna do. Then you have to execute said plan, and pull the prank, or in the world of the shinobi trip the trap. Make since?"
"I guess."
"Okay Isamu, your turn." Bardock said.
"Yes, Sensei, I'm Uchiha Isamu. I like training and hanging out with my family. I don't like it when people play favorites. My hobbies are reading and training. My goal is to one day become a Jonin Sensei, and teach my own squad of Genin one day."
"Well, that makes since. I intend to treat you all as equals. Has been my intention from the start. You just shouldn't jump to conclusions like that. It'll get you into trouble."
"Yes Sensei."
"Alright young lady, your up."
"My name is Hyuga Kikyo. I like swimming, practicing my Byakugan, and being with my family. I don't like it, when people look down on me for being part of the branch family. My hobbies include studying and training. And my goal in life is to be allowed to follow my heart."
"Well I like your honesty. Now then, let's get down to business. It's about your real Genin exams."
…
"So how did it go dad?" Goku asked.
"They're doing well so far. I told them where to go and what time I expected them. I hope to fight them as a team. I'm giving them a day to prepare."
"Do you think they have what it takes?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Most definitely."
…
The next day, Bardock waited for his students to show up. He showed up at sunrise, just three hours before his test began to see who was the most prompt. He decided to walk around and see what they may have done. He soon realized that it was a big mistake as a sires of explosions all around him.
"Paperbombs!" He exclaimed.
…
Meanwhile the three Genin sat at their campfire waiting for him to show, to hear the explosion. Isamu stood up first. "He's here."
"Let's move out then!" Kazuki shouted.
"Wait! He might've left the area by now, and is waiting for us to be there." Kikyo explained.
"Your right. Use the Byakugan to see where he is."
"Way ahead of you." Focusing her chakara, she quickly located their Sensei. "He's three kilometers from the blast site and he's not moving from there."
"Alright. Let's do this."
…
Realizing that they had caught him off guard, he kept his senses on high alert. He heard something in the distance. It had to be the kids, and it was. Several kuni were at the branch he was just crouching at. He saw that Isamu had his Sharingan active. He knew that he would be able to copy his moves with that. But it was doing something he never saw before.
It was spinning.
"That's new." He said as he landed on a branch that had another paperbomb. "Oh…"
*BOOM!*
'They must have proximity censors or something.' He thought to himself as he looked back at the spinning Sharingan. 'What is up with that?' His thoughts distracted by the spinning Sharingan, he didn't notice Kikyo coming in for an attack until it was too late.
"Ninja art! Four palm! Eight palm! Sixteen palm! Thirty-two palm! Ninja art: Sixty-four Palm Jutsu!"
His chakara blocked, he fell to the ground, and felt a kuni at his thought. It was Kazuki. He smiled as he held it at his thought.
"I guess this means we win?"
Bardock smiled back and said, "Yes I believe you do win. I wanna know though, who did what?"
Kazuki smiled and said, "Well I did the layout for the planning, and set up the proximity bombs. Because we decided to stay overnight and wait for you to arrive. Then we could be ready at a moments notice. Kikyo told us where to find you with her Byakugan. Also hitting you with the Gentle Fist style attack. With Isamu using the Hypnotic Eye of the Sharingan to set you up."
"And you held the kuni at the end."
"Yep."
"I knew I liked you kids from the start. Your test is done. And you pass. It takes a lot to get me. And not to mention I underestimated you. You'll start your training as full fledged shinobi tomorrow."
The young trio cheered in celebration. They had passed his test, and right before breakfast. They didn't care what lied before them. For they knew they could handle anything.
…
"Now what?" Nappa asked, they had just tried to destroy a village again. Every time it's the same thing. They fail to kill any of them.
"I don't know." The Saiyan Prince uttered.
He thought it was going to be an easy mission. Fly around, kill some people, take their skills to Frieza and be done in a few weeks. Goof off some for the first time in ten years, do some training, even learn some of the secrets of the locals fighting abilities.
That never happened. And while Vegeta and Nappa had some minor cuts and bruises, they didn't know what happened to Raditz. They lost him during their latest attempt to wipe out a village.
Raditz was the brains of the group. While Vegeta could formulate plans, he was never as good as Raditz. In fact, his plans are the only reason why they didn't die in previous attempts. In fact if it wasn't for him, they would've died years ago. He may have been weak, but he was a genus.
"We have to do something. Otherwise he might die. And say goodbye to the best planner we Saiyans ever had, since his father!" Nappa vented.
"I know! I'm thinking!" Vegeta shouted at his teammate. Sometimes he could just kill him, but Raditz always told him, that they need his strength. "Where are you?"
…
Raditz woke up sore. He also found himself sitting up in a chair, something binding him to it. He looked around and realized that he had been captured. He also noticed that something was restraining his power.
"I see your awake." He heard a feminine voice say from the shadows. He growled, he knew that voice. It was the voice he heard before he passed out.
"Who are you and why have you come here?" She asked as she came out of the shadows. She had silver hair and lavender eyes. With a gray ninja gi with lavender wristbands and sandals.
The saiyan chuckled. "I am Raditz of the Saiyan race. My comrades and I have come here for your planet."
"Why is that? What's your angle?"
"We're what you would call 'Planet Brokers.' We go from one planet to another, and whip out all life. And it can be for any reason."
"Such as?"
"Some race needs a new home. They want their rivals taken out. Some planet looks nice. Or in your case… You have powerful warriors, and it's a join us or die kind of thing. I know you think we're pushovers. But compared to the boss, we're like flies."
"Yet he keeps you?"
"We're basically cannon fodder." he admitted casually.
"If you were on our side, things could be different."
"Yeah, I'd be killed for defecting."
"Well they don't sound nice."
"Well of course not, they're pretty much evil. Then again I'm no different. And the weakest in the bunch." his eyes widened as he realized that he was telling her everything.
"What did you do to me?" he asked.
"It's a jutsu that looses the tong. I'm impressed that you realized it so soon."
"I'm not the average warrior when it come to intelligence."
"I can see that. Perhaps we can work together."
"Work together, are you kidding," he asked, "You don't know what they're capable of. Prince Vegeta could blow up a planet when he was a child. It's literally it was child's play to him, because he could do it as a child. And Frieza… He's far more powerful then you can ever imagine. And here's the worse part. He's coming here to this planet in seven months. You don't have a chance. Especially if other villages were to join him."
She was put into deep thought from that. "Here's something for you to think about. There are ten ninja villages in the world counting this one. They have about as many shinobi as we do, give of take. Along with power. Do you think that with a combination between all ten villages, plus the three of you, have a chance of beating this Frieza?"
Raditz thought about this long and hard. He then told her his answer. "If I die, I wanna die fighting, and free." he smirked.
"I'll tell my grandmother." She said as she began to walk out the door.
"Wait," he called, "What's your name?"
"My name is Hana."
Next chapter you will meet Hana's grandmother. And the story will soon progress even more. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for reading. Please review. God bless you either way.
