On my profile, you should see a poll about Goku being able to utalize Advanced Chakra Natures. Go check it out if you want to have input on that.
Outside Konoha: Day…
Team 7, Neji, Zabuza, and Haku could see Konoha ahead. They were quite the sight given it was six Leaf Shinobi traveling amicably with what appeared to be two Mist Shinobi. Additionally, while Hinata had recovered from being called a brat, Neji was still deep in contemplation.
"Do I fear Hinata's wrath more than Uncle Hiashi's?" Neji had been mumbling this to himself for quite some time.
"Will you shut up already!" Zabuza shouted, annoyed.
Suddenly, Kakashi, Haku, and Zabuza noticed something, and the latter went about unsheathing his Executioner Blade before stabbing it into the ground before him.
"Dynamic Entry!" A boisterous voice declared.
A boy with bowl cut black hair and thick eyebrows had lunged at Zabuza. As the former Mist Jonin had noticed this coming, his sword acted as a shield. Despite feeling strength behind the impact, he effortlessly held this Genin in green spandex back.
As the boy lept to the ground, Haku sped in from the front with six senbon, three in each hand. Goku joined in, coming at the Genin from behind with his staff drawn aiming to debilitate. This was still a fellow member of the Leaf after all.
With a great deal of speed neither were expecting, Lee had dropped to a hand stand to perform a spinning split kick. While both moved to defend themselves, it was unnecessary. Kakashi caught the foot aimed at his student while Neji did the same for Haku.
"Lee, why would you think it's okay to attack without warning?" Neji asked sternly.
Lee pushed off his hands and flipped in midair to land on his feet. "Team 9 has been looking for you these past two weeks." He leveled an accusatory finger at Zabuza. "Today, I found you seemingly incapacitated, and at the mercy of a Mist Shinobi.
Someone who took you along with family to you and Turles hostage. I had assumed they were forcing you all to bring them back to the village, so I simply had to step in. It is my duty as your comrade. Was I mistaken?"
"Yes Lee." Neji voiced. "I commend you for the care you showed the team of family to your teammates; however, you should have taken a second look at the situation." He grabbed his teammate, brought him before Zabuza, and made him bow. "Now, apologize."
"I am most sorry for attacking you without proper context!" Lee apologized genuinely. "I was in the wrong!"
"Good." Neji then began to drag Lee off. "Now, let's go."
"Hm, for a Genin, he's got a good deal of strength behind that kick of his." Zabuza noted.
"Huh, I should have thought Neji might be that Genin Iruka Sensei mentioned who was promoted." Goku hadn't run into his brother much, certainly not enough to talk about their respective training. "Turles is on one strong team."
"With that excitement over, let's head on in." Kakashi voiced.
Team 7 and the former Mist Shinobi entered through the gate before four Anbu suddenly surrounded the latter. No one reacted too strongly to this since Kakashi had sent in his report, via messenger hawk, and got a reply not long before they left The Land of Waves.
Along the way, he'd informed everyone of what would happen. The Anbu that now encircled the former Mist Shinobi wore cloaks and masks. They were of a bear, wolf, lion, and tiger. The one with the lion mask approached.
"Zabuza Momochi and Haku?"
"Zabuza and Haku Momochi." Zabuza corrected sternly.
Haku went wide eyed at that as he looked up at Zabuza. While his expression hadn't changed, the fact that he was letting Haku have his last name was a clear message to the ice user. He beamed without mentioning it, content to know how the Jonin now viewed him.
"My mistake. Now, follow us."
The two rouge Shinobi followed the Anbu who encircled the pair as they walked through the village. Team 7 didn't know when they'd see their new friends again, but Kakashi had informed them that it shouldn't take long for things to pan out.
Training Ground 7: 5 Days Later, Morning…
With their return to the village, Kakashi saw fit to give his students proper time off. After all the training they put in prior, as well as what their C rank turned into, he figured they could use some days back in the village. Now, it was time to get back on the grind.
Upon arriving to meet with his Genin, still late yet better than his tardiness had been at the start of their time as a team, Kakahi noticed something was off with the Hyuga Heiress. She seemed rather reserved yet riled up at the same time.
"What's more, those three don't seem to know what to make of this." Kakashi noted as his gaze momentarily shifted to the male Genin. "Is there a problem Hinata?"
"It's my father…" Hinata sighed as she blushed. "He wants to invite the whole team to dinner, so he can meet my fellow Genin teammates."
At that, Kakashi, Naruto, and Goku began to laugh while even Sasuke had a small, amused smile on his face.
"What's so funny?" Hinata demanded. "This is a serious problem."
"We fought and befriended a rouge Jonin." Naruto retorted. "Some stuffy dinner will be child's play."
"My father carries a lot of sway within the village." Hinata rounded Naruto as she stomped her right foot. "If things go poorly, it could be the end of Team 7."
"Aw, come on Hinata." Goku smiled. "Sasuke, Kakashi, and I are all from clans. Granted, Naruto and I do like to eat wilder at times, yet I know how to be more proper than that. As for Naruto, he can do table manner himself when he must."
Hinata seemed slightly more at ease upon hearing that; however, she wasn't entirely convinced.
Kakashi decided to let this sit with the girl while also switching up the schedule. "On second thought to my prior instructions, let's head to the tower and grab up missions." The Jonin started walking. "If you all do well enough, I'll treat you to a BBQ lunch."
Naruto and Goku were excited by that as they immediately followed their sensei. Sasuke shook his head before joining them. Hinata was last as her worries and doubts over the coming dinner prevented her from following right away. She eventually did before losing sight of them.
BBQ: Later…
The Genin did do well on their D rank missions; however, that wasn't why Kakashi brought them to BBQ in the first place. "This lunch has two purposes and neither one aligns with what I told you prior. Would anyone like to tell me what they are?"
"It's to act as a cover while granting us a chance to practice our table etiquette." Sasuke reasoned.
"Correct on both fronts." Kakashi nodded. "A noisy and crowded place like this is the perfect setting to have a private conversation. After all, most eavesdroppers would find it difficult to make out one conversation amongst a sea of them."
"So, you've seen him to." Hinata voiced gloomily.
"Who do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Ever since my return to the village, a member of the Branch Family has tailed me." Hinata explained. "Though I haven't narrowed down why, the timing of this with the dinner invite is suspicious."
"You're likely right that there is a connection, but that is why we're here." Kakashi stated. "We'll practice ensuring everything goes well for the dinner."
This finally made the Hyuga heiress smile which was a relief to the rest of the team. As other patrons cooked their meet and yammered, she began outlining their strategy to impress her dad.
Hyuga Compound: Hinata's Room, Evening…
Evening light bathed the Hyuga Compound with the only sounds being that of distant cicada. Hinata's home was the picture of serenity, yet she felt more panic now than at any point in her team's prior mission to the Land of Waves.
As she was dressed in her yukata, the Hyuga Heiress paced back and forth as every way this dinner could go wrong ran through her mind. From her teammates forgetting their etiquette to the compound somehow burning down around her.
While this could go on forever, there was a knocking at her open door followed by Neji's voice. "Hinata, dinner is almost ready."
Just as she was dressed in a yukata, her cousin wore a robe befitting the occasion.
"Have my guests arrived yet?" Hinata asked, her worry leaking into her voice.
In response, Neji sighed and shook his head.
"What if they got lost!?" Hinata gasped.
Neji shook his head again. "Kakashi has been to the compound before, so if he's leading the boys, they should be able to find this place. It's more likely Lee has ambushed them again. Perhaps with Guy Sensei, Tenten, and Turles as back up."
Hinata let out a horrified squeak. "They can't show up here all scuffed up from a fight."
Neji nodded vigorously with terror in his own eyes. "I worry Kakashi might invite Guy and the others along. Not only would they all be dirty, but that'd be four extra mouths to feed."
Hinata cringed as she began spiraling alongside her cousin. "What if Kakashi Sensei and Guy get into the sake and do something in a drunken haze?"
"That would be disastrous." Neji lamented. "I don't even want to think about what would happen should Lee somehow get some in his system."
Neji had told his sister how Lee could get with alcohol in his system, and while it sounded as though it made his teammate strong, he was also unpredictably destructive. For just a moment, there was a semblance of sense that came over the heiress.
"Why are you so concerned about this dinner?" Hinata asked.
"I don't want anything to happen to your team." Neji responded. "They grew on me while we were in the Land of Waves, and I've seen how much you all care about one another. They also make you happy, and I'm not about to let you lose that."
Hinata was on the verge of happy tears at her cousin's sentiment, but the older Hyuga barely noticed as he was back to worrying about tonight.
Fortunately, Hanabi came to their rescue as she boisterously entered the room. "Big sis Hinata, your teammates and sensei are here!"
Hinata composed herself as both Hyuga followed the young one out the room.
Mansion
At the entrance of the mansion, Hinata's team, no Team Guy in sight, stood with Hiashi and Hizashi. As instructed, Team 7 had dressed to impress in more formal clothing. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto were dressed as one would expect anyone to dress for the occasion.
Goku's wore something more in line with Neji since it was closer to the gi he always wore. While not a Sarutobi tradition, it was a tradition within his immediate family. One started by Gohan himself after training under Muten Roshi.
Kakashi had an expensive bottle of sake which he held out to Hiashi. "Here is a gift of appreciation for your swift acceptance that tonight be the night we have dinner."
"Thank you." Hiashi accepted the gift stiffly.
With his brother's present demeanor, Hizashi knew the social aspect would weigh more on him this evening. "Dinner is being finished as we speak." He nodded. "How about we give you four a tour of our home?"
"We would be honored." Kakashi voiced.
As such, the five Hyuga's led the four guests around their home.
"Sasuke, what has your living situation been since the massacre?" Haishi asked.
Sasuke stared at the older Hyuga before his gaze settled on Hinata, who seemed to be silently begging him not to cause any sort of a scene.
"I was granted an apartment, nicer than most would likely get due to the Uchiha's funds falling squarely to me." Sasuke voiced before shooting his female teammate a look back that said she owed him.
"I see." Hiashi stated. "Naruto Uzumaki, do you feel inadequate being on a team with high born Dojutsu users and the son of a hero?"
Naruto knew Hiashi was attempting to put him down. While he didn't like what was said, the blond knew this night wasn't about him. He cared more about Team 7 than picking a fight with the clan head.
"Not at all." Naruto smiled. "They give me the drive to improve so one day no one thinks I'm inferior. My sensei also has me studying Fuinjutsu, which I understand is its own high-profile study."
"Naruto is coming along quite nicely." Kakashi voiced. "In his first two weeks, he got the calligraphy down and is ready to begin attempting the practice itself. Even without that, Naruto has proven himself as valuable a team member as any of them."
This wasn't going how Hiashi expected, so he turned his attention to the remaining member of Team 7. "Goku, I haven't seen you or Turles around the compound like your older brother."
"Yeah, I suppose we just haven't seen much reason to seek out training here." Goku shrugged. "At least, that's how I see it, but I can't really speak for Turles."
Hiashi knew he was pushing, or attempting to, on sensitive topics. While normally he'd avoid such things, tonight he was on a mission to discern the truth behind the Land of Waves. Just as he was about to push further, Hizashi led them to the dining room.
There were plates piled high with delicious food to the point Naruto couldn't help himself from making a comment. "Oh man, if this is the kind of food you get to eat nightly Hinata, I might just have to find a way to join the family."
It was said in jest, yet Hinata became as red as a tomato at the insinuation. Much more respectfully, the other members of Team 7 bowed. Then, everyone took a seat around the table and began eating. Hinata was glad her team hadn't forgotten their etiquette, like she feared.
As everyone else began to eat, Hiashi focused on their guest as he decided to change the game. "Naruto, I hear your team rather recently got back from the Land of Waves. What was that like?"
"It was cool getting out of the village, and we met great people." Naruto answered.
"Kakashi, I've heard the bridge was named after you." Hiashi raised an eyebrow. "The Silver Demon Bridge, I believe is what Neji put down in his report."
Hinata managed to sneak a glare her cousin's way making him flinch as he forgot to omit that part from his report.
"We ran into a bit of trouble." Kakashi deftly answered. "I handled it, yet you know how us Shinobi can look to a citizen, especially someone who doesn't normally see our type. Since he did name it after me, I must have generally given off a good impression."
"I'll bet." Hiashi voiced with narrowed eyes. "Sasuke, I've heard of a man by the name of Gato out there who's not the best, to put it lightly. Did he cause you or your teammates any problems?"
"Someone like Gato had nothing on Genin, let alone a Jonin." Sasuke answered.
"Surely someone underhanded could have managed something." Hiashi voiced. "Goku, did the man try anything noteworthy?"
"He sent people to try and end the bridge builder." Goku answered. "Since the mission was a success, you can imagine that didn't go well."
At this point, Hiashi knew he wasn't getting anywhere, so he cut the games before looking the Jonin Sensei square in the eye. "Kakashi Hatake, just what mission rank did you take my daughter on?"
"Lord Third assigned us a C rank mission." Kakashi answered with a placid eye smile. "Just as we agreed."
The usually impassive face of Hiashi Hyuga contorted into anger at such a statement. Hizashi rose from his seat with the intention of taking his leave. He was not keen to remain for what would surely come next.
"Hizashi, stay." Hiashi ordered with venom in his tone. "This is on you as well." He then turned on Kakashi. "You are a liar. I did some digging after you all got back. You were paid for an A rank mission and seen at the gate with Zabuza Momochi, former Demon of the Mist. You're either lying by omission or being downright deceitful."
The male Genin of Team 7 shared worried looks while their sensei bowed his head in acceptance, prepared to take the blame.
"Father, that's enough." Hinata finally spoke up, rather firmly, drawing everyone's attention. "The rank was changed part way through the mission, so what my sensei said was true. The decision to keep going was everyone's. In the end, we were ready to handle it."
Hiashi/Hizashi were stunned to see this side of their daughter/niece. The clan head spent a moment mulling over everything before ultimately sighing.
"Yes, I can see that." Hiashi finally stated.
Hizashi laid a supportive hand on his shoulder. "Brother, I believe you should start trusting in Hinata just as her team does."
"I do, and I'm proud of her strength of character." Hiashi sighed as his anger evaporated. "I just…"
"You want to protect her." Kakashi voiced. "I do to because each of my students have become one of my precious comrades; however, they're all skilled in their own right."
"I can see that." Hiashi nodded. "Truthfully, I am grateful for the care you've shown my daughter. That is why I can forgive this Land of Waves' incident, after a truthful report, and put a little more faith in Hinata moving forward."
This proclamation made everyone smile as Hinata and her father shared a hug.
Outside: Night…
With the atmosphere drastically improved, desert was had outside enabling the party to look up at the stars as they enjoyed cinnamon buns. This was much to Hinata's delight given they were her favorite food.
"Next week, we should invite Neji's squad for dinner." Hisashi suggested.
"NO!" Hinata and Neji exclaimed.
Their faces were red from embarrassment upon imagining what the youth obsessed Jonin might end up doing.
Over the Course of Weeks…
With the dinner behind them, and an eventual report given, a true system was worked out. One that would see the Genin improving steadily while keeping Hiashi content in his daughter's safety. For every 10 D ranks the team completed, they'd attempt one C rank.
For every 5 C ranks, Kakashi would check in with the Hyuga and see how they felt about him taking his team on a B rank. This deal would account for the backlog of D ranks they've already completed. This led to Team 7 raking up plenty of C ranks.
That only made their records look all the better with the one A rank, the Land of Waves, already on there. While this garnered them experience, Kakashi continued his Genin's training. Hinata was back at the hospital, furthering her Medical-Nin knowledge.
Naruto delved into storage seals and managed to turn out successful ones. Sasuke pressed on with his saber while Goku worked to increase the speed of his hand signs. In this way, he'd truly open Ninjutsu as a viable route, beyond Flying Rajin.
Given his Genin were quite advanced, Kakashi began integrating general skills into their training. Ninjutsu for everyone, Taijutsu, learning ways to deal with Genjutsu, and much more. As each Genin had their reasons for being stronger, they took to Kakashi's training well.
Konoha Streets: Midday…
Team 7 had just finished their morning missions and were heading back to the tower to inform as such, when Kakashi noticed a certain hawk soaring through the sky.
"There's been a change in plans." The Genin looked at their sensei. "Something just came to mind that I must attend to, so we'll call it a day."
"Since we're being let off, I should head back to my compound." Hinata voiced.
"Alright then." Sasuke walked off. "I'm out of here."
The Jonin and two Genin took off, leaving Naruto and Goku alone.
"Want to go grab lunch at Ichiraku?" Naruto asked his friend.
"You know it!" Goku exclaimed with a big grin.
The pair took off that way, but it wasn't long before they heard something peculiar.
"So, does this hurt punk?"
It was followed by someone groaning in pain.
"Put him down Kankuro, or you know you'll pay for it later."
Goku and Naruto moved to investigate and peaked around a corner. Just down the street, they saw Konohamaru being held up by his scarf. The perpetrator was some Suna Shinobi in a black, baggy suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He had a bundle on his back.
Just behind him there was a female Suna Shinobi with teal eyes and sandy blonde hair in four consecutive pigtails. She wore a light purple, off-the-shoulders garment that extended down to her thighs. On her back there was a collapsed, giant fan.
Two other children stood back terrified, and they wore the same goggles as Konohamaru. One was a boy with brown hair and glasses while the other was a girl with orange hair. a discarded box meant to resemble the road was discarded nearby.
"You better take your hands off him right now!" Naruto shouted angrily.
"Big bro Naruto." Konohamaru managed, happy to see him.
Kankuro smirked. "A Leaf Village…"
Suddenly, a kunai was thrown at his feet, interrupting the Suna Shinobi's thought process. He just registered the fact that there was the kanji for protection inscribed on said kunai before Goku appeared, in a black flash, right before him.
The Sarutobi slammed a powerful haymaker right across Kankuro's face forcing him to let go of Konohamaru as he was sent hurtling down the street. Goku caught his fellow clansmen with his other arm before setting him down and pushing him back protectively.
"Thank you, Goku." Konohamaru declared.
Kankuro slowly got up while glaring at the Sarutobi. "I'm not sure where you came from, but that's a big mistake kid."
"The only one who made a mistake is you." Goku declared sternly. "Beyond the fact that you were threatening a clansman of mine, family, this is Lord Third's grandson." Both Suna Shinobi paled at that. "Consider yourself lucky the Anbu weren't around.
They'd have your heads. As it stands, you're already on the cusp of war just by your actions alone. Two foreign Shinobi, allies at that, come in and attack the grandson of our Hokage. Attacking a civilian alone is bad, but the fact you attacked the worst possible civilian is worse."
"Yeah, is this why you are here?" Naruto moved to stand beside Goku, ready to move as he was. "Did you two come here just to attack people of the Leaf?"
"N-No!" The female stammered as she was reeling from the mess her brother got her into. "We're here for the Chunin Exams."
"Chunin Exams?" Naruto questioned.
"I didn't realize they were coming up." Goku thought.
"Kankuro, you're an embarrassment to our village." A new voice declared.
Everyone reacted in shock and turned to see a third Sand Shinobi who stood on the underside of a nearby branch looking at them. He had fair skin, green eyes, short auburn hair, and no eye brows. On his back there was a huge gourd.
"He got this close without even making a sound." Goku stared at him firmly. "Your average Genin couldn't achieve that."
"Have you forgotten the reason we are here?" The guy continued.
"I know Gaara, but those kids started it." Kankuro nervously chuckled. "See, those kids there were following us in an awful disguise, so we…"
"Shut up or I'll kill you." Gaara declared firmly.
"Right." Kankuro held up his hands. "I was totally out of line."
Gaara looked at the Shinobi and kids. "I'm sorry for any trouble he caused."
"He's got a certain look about him, and it's directed squarely at me." Goku noted.
"He appeared before Kankuro in a flash. Somehow this boy knows a Jutsu made famous by the Fourth Hokage." Gaara thought. "It was all too easy for him to handle Kankuro. He's someone to keep an eye on." He then body flickered to the ground in a swirl of sand. "Let's go."
"Sure, I get it." Kankuro agreed.
"Hold on!" Naruto called out, stopping the Sand Shinobi. "What are the Chunin Exams?"
"Have you been living under a rock?" Temari retorted with a smirk.
"Boss, they're the typical way a Genin goes about being promoted to Chunin." Konohamaru explained. "It's an exam."
"Why didn't you say so?" Naruto grinned. "I'm there!"
"Before you all go, why don't you give me your names?" Goku questioned.
"I'm Gaara of the Desert." Gaara responded. "They are Kankuro and Temari. I'm curious about you too. Who are you?"
"Goku Sarutobi." Goku answered.
"Hey there!" Naruto was grinning and pointing at himself. "I bet you're dying to know my name, right?"
"I could care less." Gaara retorted.
From there, the Shinobi turned and lept away while Naruto was left in a depressed state. "Konohamaru, do I seem uncool or something?"
"Well, compared to Goku you are pretty lame." Konohamaru answered earnestly.
Naruto hung his head while on a further branch from all the action, three other Shinobi, bearing headbands with one sound note on them, had observed everything. As most Genin squads tend to be, this one was comprised of two guys and a girl.
To the left was Zaku Abumi, a guy with spiky, black hair and dark eyes. He wore a beige shirt, with two black stripes, overtop a long-sleeved black shirt. He, like his teammate Kin, wore a snake-patterned scarf around his neck.
Speaking of Kin Tsuchi, she stood to the right. Her skin was fair, eyes black, and had long black hair tied by a violet ribbon near the end. She wore a pale green vest and snake- patterned pants with a snake-patterned skirt over top.
The one in the middle was Vegeta Hokori. He was well built with black hair that spikes upwards and a prominent widows peak. He wore a black, full-bodied jumpsuit underneath lavender torso armor. Additionally, he had light purple gloves and combat boots on.
"What do you think Vegeta?" Zaku asked.
"The only ones worth our time are the red head Suina Shinobi and the boy with the Fourth's Jutsu." Vegeta answered critically. "Watch them, carefully."
Hiashi came off as a jerk because he was genuinely worried about his daughter; however, everything turned out alright in the end. Then, we get to the start of the Chunin Exams arc where I honestly believe Kankuro was not thinking about the possible ramifications that came from hurting a civilian. Even though the plan was the Konoha Crush, injuring a civilian of the Leaf is just asking for trouble far too early. Injuring the grandson of the Hokage is only asking for worse.
Finally, we get to the Sound Shinobi with Vegeta taking the place of Dosu. A reviewer, NBAT, reminded me that having Vegeta working for Orochiamaru is near perfect given he did work for Frieza. I put him in Dosu's place because that roll is perfect. It not only fits a Vegeta in this context, but I genuinely believe that had Kishimoto thought about it, Dosu could have been the first instance we see of a genuine enemy Shinobi turning to the good side.
Note: Hokori, according to google translate, means pride.
Mandalorian6969: Thank you.
GojiraSerizawa: Naruto will be fine. As for a mission to introduce the Konoha 12, sorry I'm not doing that.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 1): I get it, Goku is strong with an insane aptitude for learning. That said, he didn't have no prior knowledge. While it was a tad cryptic, Whis had informed Goku of moving without thought. The angel has been pushing Goku towards this. Look, if I want Goku to just replicate Jutsu, I'd have made Gine an Uchiha. The capability to have ease of access in learning any Ninjutsu is a solid compromise in my opinion.
Of course, Goku is going to be a bit smarter here compared to the canon version. Who says SSJ is the only transformation Goku will have access to. I made ground rules for a reason. Transformations will be equivalent. Whether you want to say the Naruto one's line up with the DBZ ones or vice versa is your choice. The fact remains, no transformation is superior to another meaning the potential to ascend higher forms is there.
The prior explanation stands against any other point made in this review. I already said, in the ground rules, there would be one exception to keeping. things consistant in displaying their level of threat. Now, this does not mean this Janemba was at the apex of his power, but he was the exception. Super Saiyan is not above Kagyua. To get there, someone would need a higher level.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 3): Look, there's no one in the Leaf that could have set Goku up with a buster sword. Going with the staff was easiest since it is a Hiruzen staple, and we know Gohan used one as well given that's how Goku got the power pole. This isn't saying he couldn't pick up a larger sword later, but it made more sense for him to have a staff first.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 4): I've already said all I wanted on Flying Rajin vs Instant Transmission, the former Jutsu is what I'm sticking with. as for the Kaguya thing, I'll keep it in mind.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 5): Thank you.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 6): Like I said, if I wanted Goku to be able to copy Jutsu, I'd have made Gine an Uchiha. Giving Goku that capability without it encroaches on what the Sharingan and Rinnegan can achieve. Not to mention, I think Goku will be more than fine without the power of the Sharingan. While staffs aren't a Sarutobi thing, they are a Gohan thing given the power pole was his at one point.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 8): Corrected the mistakes, thank you.
Dontus -not Donut- Powerus (Ch. 10): Actually, it's even worse odds as it's Zabuza and Haku vs Kakashi, Neji, Hianta, Sasuke, Naruto, and Goku. 2 to 6 or 1 to 3. I just imagine the Anbu of the Leaf came to collect the brothers.
