The Kamehameha Wave
"This is just great!" Yamcha and Puar were hiding behind a rock that was conveniently placed beside the vehicle that his target was standing in front of. Chi Chi looked extremely nervous, but he didn't care. All he wanted was his wish.
"Hey Yamcha," Puar asked, "how come you aren't scared of Chi Chi? She is a girl, and is pretty too."
Yamcha scoffed. "I'm only scared of girls my age. She's nothing more than a pawn too me."
"Oh." Puar turned back towards the girl. She looked like she was having an internal conflict. Her hand was positioned in front of the door, almost as if she was afraid to knock.
"Knock on the door already!" Yamcha yelled in irritation. Chi Chi jumped into the door, causing a loud bang. She looked back at the two with a mortified expression.
"Whose there?" In an instant the door was sprung open. Chi Chi crouched and covered her head with a shriek. She noticed the sent of Sake on his breath an instantly evaluated that he was much to old for her.
"Was that a girl?" Jiraiya was quickly shoved back into the vehicle as a shirtless Master Roshi took his spot. He cleared his throat as he leaned in to get a better look.
Chi Chi peeked through her fingers and saw the old shirtless man and she shuddered. She was much too young to be involved in something of this caliber. She inhaled deeply and straightened herself. A promise was a promise, and she had to make sure the little kittens were safe. She had a soft spot for baby animals.
"H-hello, boys," she said with a shaky voice. She grimaced as the older man began to chuckle creepily. Chi Chi gulped as she twiddled with her fingers while shifting from foot to foot.
Master Roshi continued to snicker. He reached his hand out to the girl. "Do you wanna come in?"
Chi Chi's heart skipped a beat. She stared into the man's creepy face and it sent shivers down her spine. She subconsciously took a step back from the vehicle.
"That's enough, you horny old dog," Jiraiya said as he pushed the old man back into the vehicle, ignoring his shouts of protest. He stepped outside and looked the girl up and down. Something about her was extremely familiar, he just couldn't put his finger on it. "Would you be more comfortable if we came out here?"
Yamcha couldn't help but chuckle from his position. Things were going perfectly! He looked to Puar and he nodded and quickly turned into a fly.
Chi Chi nodded to the man. She couldn't understand why she felt so comfortable around him, her father told her to never speak to strangers She turned and walked away with two men tailing her, one snickering uncontrollably and the other gazing her with interest.
After the two were a good distance from the vehicle, she looked towards Yamcha. The man smirked and nodded at her. Chi Chi looked back at the men, then her eyes fell to the ground.
Jiraiya remained silent. "Well?" he asked after a pause.
Chi Chi shakily dug into a pink pouch on her waist. Jiraiya tensed, expecting the girl to grab a weapon. He was surprised to see her remove a small blue tube.
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows in curiosity The girl held the bottle out towards the men, her eyes clenched shut. "Would you rub this on my back? Please?"
Roshi fell backwards with a trail of blood spewing from his nose. Jiraiya looked at the terrified girl. He had to admit she was pretty, but he liked his woman... well, woman.
Chi Chi was shocked as she felt a pair of hands on hers. She opened her eyes and saw the younger of the old men looking at her, causing her to blush. She was slightly shocked as they began to tighten.
"I'm going to ask you some question's, and it'll be in your best interests not to lie to me, OK?" Chi Chi nodded through tears as she looked at the man. Although he was calm, she could hear the seriousness in his tone.
"First off," Chi Chi's eyes quickly widened as she heard a yell. Behind the man she was shocked to see a twin of his walking out of the RV. The most surprising part, however was that he was carrying the two that she met before, both unconscious The copy dropped them off beside the group of three and disappeared in a pop. "Why are you with these two?"
Chi Chi trembled even harder. Maybe Yamcha was right, these were bad men! "They-they said that you st-stole the k-k-kittens!"
Jiraiya's eyebrow rose. That was definitely not the answer he expected. He sighed. "You do know that this is a highly wanted criminal, right?"
Chi Chi couldn't believe what the man was saying. She tried to wrench her hands free of the man's grip but he was just too strong. "Don't lie to me! I know that you two are the bad ones! Let me go or I'll...I'll tell my daddy!"
Jiraiya shook his head. He really didn't want things to go this way. He let go of the girl, and her momentum caused her to tumble backwards and land hard on her bottom.
Chi Chi stood up and gripped her helmet. Jiraiya was surprised as the blade flew out, but he easily side stepped it. He was shocked however as he felt energy gathering behind him.
"Ha!" At the last second Jiraiya jumped to dodge a wave of energy being shot from her helmet. He dodged again and again as she continued to fire.
"Damn it girl, I'm not trying to hurt you!" he yelled as he narrowly dodged another. He heard the sound of wind rushing behind him a second too late and was struck in the thigh by the blade, causing him to yell and fall to the ground. As he landed again, he saw her charging another wave. Jiraiya tried to stand, but grimaced as pain shot up his body. "Damn it. If I would've died by a girl, I thought it would be Tsunade."
"Jiraiya! Master Roshi!"
"Master Roshi?" the energy the girl was gathering quickly sizzled away. The two conscious members looked to the north and saw a motor scooter quickly approaching. Jiraiya couldn't help but smile as he saw the girl.
Bulma quickly pulled up beside the group. She quickly took in the scene and shook it off. "Jiraiya! Hey, what happened to Master Roshi?" she asked as she saw him laid out in a pool of blood. "And why's Yamcha here?" It was then that she noticed Jiraiya's leg. "OH KAMI WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG!?" Chi Chi couldn't help but blush as she rubbed her foot in the sand.
Jiraiya looked between the two girls. "Long story," he mumbled
Bulma shook her head. "Goku and Naruto are getting beat up by a giant! They need your help!"
The old unconscious man groaned as he slowly sat up. He looked at the scene before him with little interest. He then turned back to Chi Chi. "Do ya still need that lotion?" he asked with a smile.
Chi Chi's head sprung up at this. "M-Master Roshi! My dad told me to get Master Roshi!" she quickly ran to the man's side and gripped his shoulders, shaking him vigorously
"Alright already! I'm here so I'll help ya!" the man said as he shook his head. He slowly sat up and rubbed his head. "Where do you live?"
"That way!" she pointed in the direction Bulma just came from.
Bulma decided now was a good time to interrupt. "Are you forgetting about your two students?"
Jiraiya groaned. "They're obviously in the same direction."
"Oh yeah," Bulma said. She turned and ran to the vehicle. "Load up! We don't have any time to waste!"
Chi Chi saw Jiraiya struggling to stand and quickly ran to help him. "I'm sorry," she said softly, but he shrugged it off with a smile.
"I've dealt with worse than this by my own teammates. Don't beat yourself up for it." He grimaced as he landed too hard on the hurt leg." He created four clones, one grabbed both of his captures and the other two helped him to walk. "Let's just hope we make it in time to save my boys."
XxxoxxX
"So, you've decided that you want more power?"
Neji was kneeling at the feet of the mysterious man he met before. He was anxious and desperate so kneeling before him didn't faze him one bit.
Besides, fate made him kneel before others an immeasurable amount of times already.
"Yes. Please, teach me to be strong."
The man smiled as he looked Neji up and down. He would never understand Orochimaru's interest in the Uchiha, the Hyuuga were much more powerful. Besides, they were all destroyed by a single member of their clan. It was no way that they were as strong as they boasted to be.
"Good." The man walked towards Neji and put a hand on his shoulder. "But first, you must prove to me your worth."
Neji gripped his pants leg. He was tired of proving himself, his name was already well known amongst his peers. He was fine with it, however. He never failed at anything in his life.
"Anything, Sensei."
"Don't regret those words, boy." Neji flinched at the coldness in the mans tone. The air around the two seemed to get colder, and he couldn't help but notice a cold breeze that blew his hair into his face.
The man continued to smile. Everything was playing into his palms perfectly. He figured that it would take some work on his part, but the boy was far too gone already.
"Destroy the Uchiha."
Neji grit his teeth. He felt disrespected by the mission that he was given. He rose his head and glared at the smirking figure before him. "Do you feel that I would lose to the boy? Have you no faith in my skills?" He rose to his feet, still glaring at the man as he lowered into his stance. "I would be more than happy to show you how foolish of a claim that would be."
"Down, boy!" Neji was startled by the outburst. He felt an enormous wave of killer intent flowing from him, even more than when he faced Hiashi. He slowly lowered his gaze to the ground and fell back down to one knee.
"Heh, that's better." The man snickered at his obedient pet. This will be a valuable asset to his team. "I do not doubt your strength I don't want you to just win, I want you to beat him until his miserable life is on the line. Then, once you succeed in that, beat him some more." The mans calm demeanor was quickly evaporating as he continued to speak. "Make him beg for mercy, while his blood drips from your palms. And when he begs, rip his eyes out of his socket!" The man was gasping for breath out of his rant.
Neji shivered on the ground. He didn't have any personal grudge against Sasuke, he was better than the boy and everyone knew it. He was looking forward to his match with the boy but now, he was dreaming of it. He couldn't help but smirk as he thought about it. "It will be done."
"Oh, I know." The man slowly began levitating, his eyes lowered at the boy still on the ground. "For if you don't, then I will personally kill you."
XxxoxxX
Naruto struggled to free himself from the giants grasp. The large man was sitting on the small frame of Goku, laughing as the boy squirmed beneath him.
"Hahahaha! What's the matter? Is the smoke stopping you from breathing?" the man laughed again at his joke.
Naruto cursed himself. This moment he really wished that he could used a substitution jutsu! If only he paid attention in Iruka sensei's class!
The giant seemed to get tired of the boy under him. "Hmm, I'm hungry." He looked at Naruto with a smile. "Unfortunately for you, I really enjoy cats for breakfast."
Naruto's eyes widened at the statement. He squirmed like he never did before to get loose, but to no avail. The man merely snickered as he watched the boy in his hand. He tossed Naruto into the air and opened his mouth wide.
"Shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto used the opportunity to create as much clones as he could, which was only twenty, he didn't realize how much chakra he expended struggling. The giant growled as he reached for one, only for it to burst into smoke. All of the clones scrambled away and circled the man, glaring at him.
The Ox King chuckled. "Just because there's more of you don't mean that I won't eat you. In fact," he reached down and picked up his ax, "I can use the workout before I eat." The man rose to his feet and twirled his weapon, looking around at the clones.
"Just because you're bigger than me don't mean your stronger!" Each clone grabbed a kunai and ran at the massive figure. The man simply smirked at them.
"Wind style! Great Vortex Jutsu!" The beast swung at an extremely rapid pace, destroying each of the clones as the sound of metal hitting metal ensued. As he slowed down, he swung the ax one more time to clear the air of the smoke that appeared from the clones dispersing. He saw a single Naruto laying in a pile of bricks in front of him. He slowly chuckled as he took slow steps towards the frightened boy. "And then there was one."
Naruto glared at the man as he struggled to catch his breath. This had to be the true definition of a nightmare, but he continued to smirk. As each step got closer, his smirk turned into a chuckle and then a laugh.
The Ox King glared down at the boy. He didn't like being laughed at, but it was common to see his foes go hysterical before their death. "You finally lost it, eh?" he asked with a smirk.
Naruto's laugh continued as he fearlessly glared at his opponent. "Me, lost it? Nah, I think if anyone lost something it's you." He laughed even harder as he saw the confused expression on the man's face.
"Do you take me for a joke?" The Ox King roughly grasped Naruto by the chest, prepared to end his miserable life. He was surprised however as the boy burst into smoke. "Huh?" he turned and saw the blonde boy with his tailed friend's arm wrapped around his neck, holding him up. The most surprising part was that the monkey boy was still conscious,even if barely. The King growled at the boy. "You DARE make a fool out of ME?" The giant man began to run towards the two, his large ax creating a deep trail in the ground behind him.
Naruto weakly laughed, even though it hurt his side to do so. "Goku?"
Goku continued to stare out of his one open eye at the figure approaching. "Yeah?"
"We're so screwed."
Goku chuckled weakly. "I don't know what that means, but I guess your right."
The large figure was less than twenty feet from the two. They both struggled to stand, and the trembling ground from the large footsteps weren't helping. He cocked his blade back and prepared to end both of the boys with one final swipe. Naruto closed his eyes, prepared to meet his fate.
"Daddy STOP!"
The large figure slid to a halt. His blade was stopped inches from the face of the two boys. They both were breathing hard, both from fatigue and fear.
"Chi Chi?" The man turned around and saw his daughter running towards him, holding onto the hand of a smiling old man. He gripped his ax even harder. "I TOLD you, you are too young for BOYFRIENDS!"
"Is that you, Gyumao?" The large figure dropped his ax. He hadn't heard anyone call his name since his wife passed away after his daughter's birth. He squinted his eyes to get a better look at the man.
"M-master Roshi!" The man took off in a full spring towards the old man. "It's really you!"He fell to his knees in front of the man, which was an amusing sight.
Master Roshi leaned forward and clocked the giant on the head. "Is that how you show respect? Attacking kids to keep your treasure safe?"
Gyumao rubbed the sore spot on his helmet "I'm sorry Master."
"Well you should be. While you were over here being a waste of space, my other student has become an author!"
"A best selling author, actually." Jiraiya corrected as he rode onto the scene with a certain girls scooter. Behind him was a disgruntled Bulma.
Gyumao's face turned into a wide smile. "Jiraiya!" he yelled as he sprinted toward the man.
Jiraiya's face was drained of color. "Oh no-don't do it-stay back-AIIIYYY!" Jiraiya released a high pitched squeal as he was pulled into a deathly bear hug. His hurt leg dangled lifelessly as he was spun around in circles.
"Jiraiya! Jiraiya my brother how I've missed you!" the man danced as he clung onto his longtime friend, Hell his only friend that he had left.
Jiraiya groaned as he fought to free himself. "Missed you two, now can you PLEASE put me down?"
"Oh, sorry hehe." Jiraiya was dropped down onto the ground. A healthy Sannin would've caught himself with ease. An injured one , however fell pitifully onto his back, groaning curses at his friend. Why did all of his friends seem to beat him up?
Chi Chi approached the two young boys that were watching the scene leaning onto each other. They looked pretty beat up. This was the first time she's ever seen people her age before. She began blushing heavily as she got close enough to touch them. Besides, they were kind of cute... OK, very cute.
"Hi, I'm Chi Chi!" she said with a wide smile.
Both boys turned to the girl slowly. They didn't even realize her approach, they were still silently celebrating being alive. Goku decided to be the first to speak. "Hi, my names Go-" Goku was cut off as he felt Naruto, the person holding him up, collapse. He followed suit and fell on top of the boy, his head hitting the ground. They both were passed out in seconds.
Chi Chi looked at the boys with a shy smile. "Oh my gosh, I think I like Go!"
XxxoxxX
After an hour of the old guys catching up, the young guys getting patched up, and the tension between the giant and the kids calmed down the matter at hand was finally decided.
"So, you need me to put out the fire?" Master Roshi asked as he rubbed his chin.
"Yeah, I thought that you may have had the Bansho fan with you."
Jiraiya chuckled. "You were using that as a door mat the last time I checked."
Roshi's face burned a bright red. "W-well I don't need no stinkin' fan. I have the greatest weapon on earth right here!" the man pointed to his skinny arms.
"Yeah right," Naruto grumbled to himself. Unfortunately, the old man could hear him.
"I'll show you!" Master Roshi removed his shirt and showed off his slim figure. He flexed his arms and began to power up.
Goku's eyes widened with surprise. "Wow! Look at him!"
Naruto also couldn't believe what he was seeing. The man's body began to expand, his skinny frame quickly bursting with muscles.
Master Roshi put his hands together in a meditative pose. He then pulled them apart and released a growl, his muscles expanding to an unreal size.
"W-what the heck is he?" Bulma asked as she hugged a blushing Naruto.
Jiraiya smirked at the man. "He's my Master."
The old man held one hand forward as he concentrated. White energy began to gather in that hand and travel down towards the rest of his body.
"He's going to do the Kamehameha Wave!" the Ox King yelled in excitement.
"Kaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeehaaaaaaameeeeeee"
Jiraiya grimaced as he saw the amount of energy being gathered. "That's too much old man! Your going to destroy the castle if you keep that up!"
Chi Chi's eyes widened. "No, not the castle!"
A large sphere of white energy began gathering at the mans fingertips to the amazement of everyone watching. After Jiraiya's outburst, they saw it began to shrink to a smaller size.
"Haaaaaa!" a beam of pure white energy shot towards the castle. The large fire began to glow white, and then it slowly disappeared. To everyone's delight, the castle remained standing, but the old man collapsed onto his butt.
"Wow! That was amazing!" both teen boys yelled as they sprung to their feet.
"My castle!" Gyumao ran to his old master and scooped him into a bear hug. "Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!"
"Heh heh no problem! You just have to promise to never hurt anyone again!"
The giant nodded with a goofy grin on his face. "I promise!"
"Good! Now, would you happen to have anything to eat in there? Someone refuses to feed me."
Bulma growled. "Well someone doesn't understand I'm not on the menu!"
"I was only fooling!"
"I'm only fifteen!"
"Enough!" Jiraiya groaned. The two looked at each other and huffed.
"Of course I'll cook for you! Just let me go and hunt some boar, and I'll be back in a jiffy! Chi Chi, show them around the castle!"
Chi Chi saluted her dad. "You got it Daddy!" She said with a nod.
As the Ox King ran off, both Goku and Naruto ran towards the turtle hermit.
"Can you teach me how to do that?"
"Huh canya?"
"Please?"
Master Roshi nodded to the boys. "Sure, but it'll take you fifty years to learn the Kamehameha Wave."
Naruto groaned. "Fifty years? You'll be dead then, so I won't be able to show it off!"
Goku turned away from Naruto and began to mimic the old man. "Kamehameha!" The group was amazed as a small wave came from the boy's hands.
"No fair! I was gonna do it first!" Naruto copied the same motion. He began to charge energy into his palms. "Kamehameha!" A wave a slight bit smaller than Goku's came out of his hand and broke down a nearby house.
"We did it!" Both boys yelled. They began to dance in celebration while chanting over and over. Bulma decided to break the celebration by grabbing each by the ear. "Yeah, now let's go get that Dragon Ball!"
Jiraiya watched the three walk away, led by Bulma. He was both amazed and proud at his student, and Goku as well. These boys were going to be powerful and he couldn't wait to see it. "Minato, Kushina, he's going to make you proud."

To the unnamed guest: I'm not necessarily making Naruto weak. In the manga, Naruto really didn't get strong until his training with Jiraiya. Since this is technically that time, he is slowly gaining power. And the reason strong people are in already, well, I want to follow some canon but also keep it original. In other words, since there's new characters the bad guys motives change.
To gamerlover41592: Thanks. A lot. Even though it seems like this story isn't getting any buzz, I want to thank you for being here from the start and still here. I really plan to keep this going until I complete it. I have huge ideas, just please stay for the ride
