"The next Dragonball should be right up here," Bulma said looking at the radar.
A village could be seen up ahead as the duo continued their journey for the mystical items. "We might as well start at the village and work our way form there." Naruto suggested as they walked into the small town. There was no one out going about their daily business, no adult or children. In a small looking community like this that was weird.
"This place looks deserted. I wonder what happened?" Bulma wondered allowed as she and Naruto continued looking around.
"I hear shuffling from inside and I can smell their sweat. There are people here but they're hiding from someone or something."
Bulma scrunched her nose at that. The idea of smelling sweat was disgusting.
"That's strange," Bulma commented. "Why would they all be hiding?"
"There's only one way to find out." Naruto commented as he walked up to one of the lemon colored looking shacks and knocked on the door. "There's no point in pretending otherwise. I know you're in there. Open up." After waiting patiently for nearly a minute Naruto slammed his finger on the door causing the handle to break and dislodge as the door creek ajar slightly.
Suddenly an axe came down at Naruto's head. In an instantly the shinobi caught the blade between two of his fingers. "Now that's not nice. You could hurt someone." Naruto commented. His attacker was an older man about his forties wearing a plaid yellow pattern shirt with brunette hair and thick moustache.
"I thought you were Oolong," the man on the other end of the axe said.
"Oolong? Who is that?" Bulma asked.
"The monster that keeps taking our daughters," the man said with a dismayed sigh. "A horrible demon that can take any form. He usually comes in the form of a giant of some kind. He comes and destroys part of our town and then takes our daughters. Now he has his sights on my daughter. So when I thought you were Oolong I wanted to protect her."
"Chalk it up to luck. If I was an ordinary person I'd be seriously injured or dead."
"What brings you here anyway," the man asked deciding it was a good time to change the subject.
"We're looking for a ball like this one," Bulma answered pulling out one of the dragonballs.
"That's odd," the man said. "I've never seen anything like it. It's a ball but it's got stars in it."
"I've seen it," an old woman said pulling out another dragonball.
Bulma's eyes lit up. "Can we have it?"
"It's been in my family for generations," the woman replied.
"What if we defeat Oolong and get your daughters back?" Bulma asked.
"If you can manage to do that I would be willing to part with it."
"Okay here's the plan," Bulma said to Naruto. "We'll put you in a dress and then let Oolong take you back to where he's hiding the girls then you can beat him and we'll get the girls back."
"Or we skip that part, I just beat him up and interrogate him. " Naruto counter offered.
"Fine," Bulma remarked with a huff. As long as they got the dragonball she didn't care how they did it.

Naruto who had been resting on one of the roofs was awoken by the sound of stomping and roaring.
He turned his head to see a twenty foot tall red giant with a pig snout.
"Where's my lovely bride," Oolong said as he smashed his way into town.
"So you're supposed to be Oolong?" Naruto jumped down from the house and begna approaching. "I recommend you surrender now. Your kidnapping days are over."
"You beat me?" Oolong laughed. "You must be joking. You think someone like you stands a chance against..." Oolong the terrible was instantly silenced as Naruto shot forward and kneed him between the eyes knocking him to the ground and out cold. An instant later in a puff of smoke the giant that was Oolong turned into a short little pig in army fatigues.
"What why did he shrink?" Bulma asked from where she was watching.
"Well the villagers did say he could change form. This shrimpy little piglet form must be his true form." Naruto reasoned.
"Wow I can't believe bacon bits here was the one terrorizing the town," Bulma said laughing.
"The weaklings are always the one that showboat the most and talk the biggest." Naruto said as he unfurled the rope around his shoulder. It was time to put those interrogation lessons to work.
A few hours later Oolong awoke. "Where am I?" he asked confused as he looked around to see he was in the outskirts outside of the village. "And why am I tied up."
"You've been defeated and caught. Now Oolong you're going to tell me where those girls are."
"Why would I do that?" Oolong asked.
Naruto drew out a large butcher's knife. "Its either that or become Breakfast."
Oolong immediately panicked as his face spasmed. "W-Wait! I-I'll tell you just please don't kill me."
"Wise choice."
Oolong swallowed hard. "Man you're a scary guy. Why is someone strong like you helping these people anyway?"
"Because its the right thing to do. I'm not one who believes in the strong preying on the weak. You squander the talent to ransform for ill-gains. If you were smarter there were ways you could have used your ability to make a better life for yourself. Consider this your once chance to turn your life around."
If you were to ask the blue haired woman she would have described this moment as a stroke of genius. "You've just given me an idea Naruto. Let's bring him along with us. "He might be useful with is ability to change like that. And its not like you can't just knock him out if he tries to pull something."
'Whatever helps you get your wish huh?' Naruto thought with a roll of his eyes. He didn't care all he wanted to do was free those captive girls and continue on with the journey.
A few days had passed and the group was continuing on with their journey. Currently they were traveling down river in one of Bulma's boats.
"We're really making good time using this river," Bulma commented.
"Where are we going anyway?" Oolong asked as he watched the water from over the side.
"Well," Bulma replied as she checked the map. "The next dragonball is just on the other side of the Diablo Desert. It shouldn't be too much farther."
"The Diablo Desert!" Oolong exclaimed as his head whipped up and his face shown with panic. "But Yamcha lives there."
"Who's Yamcha?" Bulma asked rather iddly.
"He rules the Diablo Desert," Oolong replies. "He's a martial arts user said to rob and kill anyone who comes in his territory. His Wolf Fang Fist technique is said to be invincible."
"Really?" Naruto perked up in interest. "Sounds fun. I hope he's a challenge I've been looking to test my strength against someone."
"I don't think you understand," Oolong said. "He's a monster. I'm getting out of here." In an instant the pig transformed into a fish and made to jump overboard.
Before he hit water he was caught by Naruto's hand. "Stop worrying pig. We'll be fine."
"But Yamcha will kill us," Oolong pleaded.
"Don't worry Oolong," Bulma said. "Naruto is really strong. He can keep us safe."
Suddenly the motor on the boat quit. "We're out of gas," Bulma said worried. "Oolong can you turn into some gas to get us to shore?"
"Can't, I'd get used up," Oolong said.
"I've got it," Naruto said as he leaned over the side. Bringing his hands near the water he formed Rasengans and used them to propel the boat forward.
"Just head to the shore," Bulma said.
Minutes later the three got out of the boat on dry land. "Oh no," Bulma said giving herself a pat down. "My capsules."
"We'll have to walk then." Naruto replied but his suggestion did not sit well with Bulma.
"That's easy for you to say," Bulma yelled hysterical. "You're a fighter this outdoor stuff meanings nothing for you."
"Look unless you want the journey to end here you're going to have to walk." With that Bulma quit her whining.

The sun shone down brightly in the depths of the desert as Naruto, Bulma, and Oolong walked until the latter two started to lag behind. Bulma was panting heavily. "I can't go on," She then began to complain. "I'm not meant to walk in the desert."
"Half hour break then we continue." He did not want to be in this area any longer than he had to.
Bulma walked over to the shade of a rock and down against it to rest.
Naruto began to look around until he spotted a dust cloud in the distance.
"What's that?" Oolong asked quaking with fear.
"It could be anything. Be on your guard." Naruto said as he continued to watch the advancing cloud.
In minutes the figure that caused the dust cloud developed into a man on a hover scooter. The figure drew closer before finally coming to a stop in front of Naruto and Oolong.
The man stepped down off the scooter. He was dressed in green pants and an orange shirt and carried a sword sheathed at his side. Atop his shoulder sat a small cat like creature. "Give me your money and any capsules and I'll let you live," the man said.
"Rude to make demands of someone without introducing yourself first." Naruto replied.
"I am the Desert Bandit Yamcha, and these lands are my domain," Yamcha replied.
"Hey," the small cat said interrupting, "that's Oolong. He was in my shape shifting class. He was always a big bully."
"Well Puar," Yamcha said with a grin. "It appears the tables have turned."
"I wouldn't say that," Oolong said with a smug look. "My boy Naruto here will take out both of you."
"Just like always," Puar said. "Having someone else fight for him."
"This is your last chance," Yamcha said. "Give me your money and you won't get hurt."
"Counter offer, walk away and I won't have to hurt you." Naruto offered.
"No deal!" Yamcha said charging at the an instant he had his sword out swinging the blade at Naruto who stepped to the side and swung his closed fist into Yamcha's back sending the bandit flying forward across the ground but Yamcha quickly rebounded himself charging back at Naruto. The shinobi dodged the series of punches and kicks until the two of them jumped apart.
"At best you're slightly above an average person." Naruto remarked with a sigh. So much for that challenge.
"Now you're going to get it," Yamcha said panting. "I'll show you my Wolf Fang Fist."
Naruto merely crossed his arms.
"Wolf Fang Fist," Yamcha yelled as he moved his hands around in a complex motion. The tall warrior began to take the form of a wolf as he charged at Naruto throwing punches at lighting speed. Using his palm Naruto blocked every strike until the barriage of attacks was over and countered with a headbutt sent Yamcha flying back and slamming into a nearby mushroom pillar thing.
"Still, not enough." Naruto commented as he still hadn't moved from his spot.
"You're going to pay for this! No one makes a fool out of me!" Yamcha said getting to his feet.
The sound of an exasperated exhale garnered attention. "What's up with all that noise? Can't a girl rest in peace?" Bulma demanded as she sat up and began rubbing her eyes.
"A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A." Yamcha began to stammer and his face turned a bright pepto red. "GIRL!"
Next thing Naruto knew his opponen jumped back on his scooter and hauling ass back to his lair.
"Guess bossy was right. You are strong." Oolong said to Naruto in awe.
All Naruto could do was wonder what the hell just happened?
00000000000000000000000000000
"So what do these Dragonballs do anyway?" Oolong finally asked them. They were sitting in an RV after Naruto went back to river to retrieve Bulma's misplaced case of capsules.
"There are supposed to be seven dragon balls in all. Legends say whoever gathers all seven can get a single wish from the eternal dragon," Bulma said.
Naruto could practically see the greed flash through Oolong's eyes.
"So, I'm curious, what are we actually plan on wishing for?" Oolong asked.
"You mean what am I going to wish for," Bulma corrected him. "I'm going to wish for the perfect boyfriend."

From outside the vehicle the group was being spied on.
"Did you hear that?" Yamcha asked Puar where they were listening outside the window. "If we could get those Dragonballs we could wish for anything."
"What would you wish for?"
"I'd wish to never be nervous around women again," the bandit replied.
"But how are we going to get the Dragonballs?" Puar asked.
"Well wait for them to let their guard down and then we'll strike."
Though as Yamcha would soon learn Naruto was not one to let his guard down easily.
After another two ardorous days the group was making their way to the dreaded fire mountain where the next Dragonball was suspected to be.
"What's this fire mountain anyway?" Bulma asked.
"Well," Oolong replied. "As its name suggest its a nation on top of a mountainous region where the primary mountain is on fire. It's also the home of the dreaded Ox King."
"Who's this Ox King?" Naruto asked as e balanced a ball of Ki in his palm.
"He's a killer," Oolong said. "They said not only is he monstrously strong but that he eats human beings whole." Coming across an area where they could no longer continue in vehicle they found themselves walking a trail.
"Ugh it's so hot here!" Bulma loudly complained as they continued their journey.
Oolong panicked saying, "Dummy shut up! The Ox-King will hear you!" Upon coming across a piles of bones Oolong lets out a scream far louder than Bulma's earlier complaining.
Naruto justled the remains with his foot and looked at them as to see how long the remains had been there.
"Hey Naruto think you two can make it through that fire!" Bulma aske him.
"I can give it a try." Naruto said as he scaled up the area til he neared the giant flame. As Naruto got closer he could feel the heat. He brought his hand near it only to recoil and hiss in pain.
This wasn't normal fire. Normal fire wouldn't have made him feel this amount of pain. "No dice Bulma-san. I can't get through this fire its..." He was cut off by the sound of heavy foot steps. He suddenly heard the others screams for terror as he rushed to where they were.
Naruto landed to face his opponent.
The giant man was around ten feet tall, had a lot of brown facial hair and is very muscular. He wore a helmet with horns on each side, a long blue feather, and goggles made of gold. The giant wore a red cape and what seems like a violet and gold armor.
"I knew it!" The giant says angrily swinging his massive axe quite easily.
Naruto dodged out of the way and watched as the Axe rebound back to its owner.
He traveled around and landed a solid elbow strike to the giant's back before quickly traveling through the front and landing a punch between the eyes. The giant stumbled slightly before he recoiled with a headbutt sending Naruto crashing back into the ground.
"And here I thought no one besides Muten Roshi was going to give me a good fight." Naruto remarked as he recovered.
"Muten Roshi?" The giant spoke to Naruto's surprise. "How did you encounter Muten Roshi?"
"I helped out his turtle and he induldged me in a request for a spar." He answered as he tried to read the gian't complexion.
"You speak of my old teacher. Do you know where I could find him?"
"My companions and I encountered him not too long ago by the ocean. I shouldn't have that much difficulty tracking him down."
Ox-King started hopping from one foot to another in pure joy. "Oh boy! I can finally return to my castle!"
"Old Pupil? Would you happen to know Gohan-Oji-san?" Naruto asked.
"He was trained alongside me by the master! Gohan and I were very close friends almost like brothers back in the day! We trained under Master Roshi he became the first to be chosen and I was the second! Say! What is your name?"
"Uzumaki Naruto, I've been a guest at Gohan's cottage for a while and I've been seeking to improve myself in martial arts. Anyway now that we got that misunderstanding out of the way I was wondering if I could ask you about this fire. My companions and I are lookning for a particular item that we believe is in your possession, but this fire is proving to be a problem."
The Ox-King became solemn at that. "The mythical properties of the mountain's fire has flared out of the control and there is only one thing that can putt hem out. The Master has a very powerful fan made of a palm-leaf and it's called the bansho fan. It's the only thing that will extinguish the flames," He placed both his hands together in a praying position, "Will you go to Master Roshi and borrow the fan for me?"
Well this proved to be easier than he thought. "Sure, as long as I can get the item I'm seeking in return. Bulma." Naruto called out to the girl who was still hiding with Oolong off to the side. Bulma merely stuck out a dragonball in her hand.
The Ox-King took a good look at it before saying. "Yes I've seen it in my castle of course you can have it my friend!"
"Then I'll be back before you know it." Naruto remarked as he readied to take off.
"Wait!" The Ox-King lifted his giant hand "There's something you should know," Naruto turned to the king, "Why just yesterday I sent my darling daughter to find Master Roshi," he shook his head, "I'm concerned she might have gotten lost. Do you think you can bring her back as well?" He then took out a picture.
"This is my daughter Chichi!" The picture he held showed a girl around twelve or thirteen years of age with long straight raven hair, her eyes are large and the color of onyx with the loveliest fluttering eyelashes. She seemed to be wearing wear a pink helmet and a type of blue armor stylized like a bikini and was wearing a bright smile.
'Is she old enough to be wearing that?' Naruto kept the thought to himself. "I'll do my best to find her."
"Ah she's really cute!" Oolong said surprised that a giant like him would have something so adorable. He also thought of who would actually want to marry such a scary man like him.
0000000000000000000
Some miles away from Fire Mountain a young girl sat on the green land alone and rubbing her head in pain. A cute young girl wearing pink gloves, pink boots, and a pink helmet with a sharp ax on top and a white button on the center. She also wore blue armor that seems more like a bikini top with bottoms, blue shoulder blades, and a blue choker holding her blue cape.
The young girl had killed the giant dinosaur that chased her around for who knows how long with a decapitating slice from her blade when not too long after a boy five to seven years older than her came out of nowhere and giving her head a sharp elbow strike. She passed out right after and woke up to the same person who knocked her out.
He seems to blabber on about being in love with her, to which she foolishly fell for it when he bolted on her when she turned his back. How dare he do such a thing? What kind of scum would play with the heart of a maiden such as her? She should have stuck with her initial instincts that told her he was a threat.
"That took a bit longer than I expected. You're Chi-Chi right?" A voice called out to her.
She looked up to see a young man with slightly tan skinned, dressed in a black t-shirt and black and orange jump suit pants with dark blue sandal shoes. Then that's when she saw it. Yellow Hair. She let out a scream causing Naruto's eyes to widen.
"Whoa what's with..." He found himself having o dodge the attack from her helmet. His line of sight followed the projectile to which it hit a large boulder and obliterating it.
"Stay away from me deliquent! I know what your kind do to vunerable young girls like me!" She accused him to which Naruto's eyes began to twitch.
"Damnit! My hair isn't dyed its natural!" He practically exploded. Unfortunately this was a thing that happened fairly often in which people mistook his shade of blond as died as none of the blondes he encountered had the same shade as him.
He plucked some hairs from his head. "Look! Look at the roots! Look at the hair! Its natural!"
Chi-Chi narrowed her eyes.
Naruto let out a sigh. "Your father the Ox-King sent me to find you. He said he sent you out here not too long ago to find Muten Roshi to get the fan that can quell the flames of Fire Mountain and he was worried for your safety."
There was no way some random deliquent would have known that.
That meant she was telling the truth.
"O-Oh...I'm s-sorry." Chi-Chi stammered out and did a bow. She felt so embarassed. Her face heated up and she began to sniffle. "Uugh so stupid! F-First that jerk and now I accused you...and..."
"H-Hey its alright!" He called out to her as he tried to prevent the girl from breaking out in tears. "I'm not mad! It was an honest mistake! Lets just forget it happened okay." He softly urged her.
Chichi looked up and noticed his warm expression. He didn't seem like he was lying like the other one. Maybe it was the fact that he was looking at her and his eyes seemed honest.
He also looks kind of cute. Well blond wasn't that bad of a color she suppose. It was...well kind of exotic.
"There you go. See, you look much better with a smile." He said, his compliment being completely and utterly innocent in nature. He looked up, completely missing the effect his compliment had on the girl. "Since I'm already on my way, want to come with me to get the bansho fan? If your father is like many fathers you probably don't get to leave home often, think of it as an adventure."
"You want me to come?" Well if her father trusted him then she could too right?
"Come on hop on." He said getting on one knee and kneeling.
"D-Do you think you can really carry me that far?" Chichi wondered.
"Of course. It'd be rude of me to not accomdate a princess such as yourself." Naruto answered playfully.
Faintly blushing the girl got on his back and let out a small cry as he suddenly stood up, her arms wrapping around his neck.
What neither of them knew that this was the start of a life long bond.

Tidbits-
ChiChi will appear more often then in canon.
Chichi and Naruto will have time to bond before a relationship starts.
And with his based of DBM X9 expect similar events but changes and twists.
The divergence will start to occur more and more the later we get into the series.
