Goku suddenly appeared in Sasuke's house, his cheerful energy radiating throughout the room, alongside ShisuiUU. The walls were lined with training scrolls, and a faint smell of ramen lingered in the air. He quickly spotted Vegeta lounging on the couch, arms crossed and an eyebrow raised, while Sasuke sat at the table, an ice pack pressed to his head, looking both frustrated and defeated.
"Man, I feel like I've seen this scene before," Goku joked, a playful grin spreading across his face, drawing the attention of the others.
"Get used to it, Kakarot. You'll be seeing plenty more," Vegeta smirked, glancing at Sasuke, whose face paled at the thought of another round of training. In an instant, Sasuke was in front of Goku, desperation evident in his wide eyes.
"Please, Goku-sensei, don't leave me alone with him! I'll do anything!" Sasuke's voice trembled as tears welled in his eyes. The three Saiyans erupted into laughter, the sound echoing off the walls, breaking the tension in the room.
After the laughter faded, Vegeta stood up, brushing off his pants. He approached ShisuiUU with a serious demeanor. "Alright, ShisuiUU, time to get you settled. We're heading to the Hokage's office. You'll probably be staying here, but we have some important matters to discuss."
As they left, Goku turned to Sasuke, his grin widening. "So, what did I miss?"
Sasuke shot him a glare, annoyance flashing in his dark eyes. "I'm heading out to train." He turned sharply, moving toward the door, his mind already racing with thoughts of his training regimen.
"Oh, I'll come with you!" Goku exclaimed, bouncing on his feet with enthusiasm, his carefree nature shining through.
"No!" Sasuke yelled, the memory of his intense training sessions with Vegeta flooding his mind, a shiver running down his spine.
HOKAGE TOWER
Meanwhile, at the Hokage Tower, the Third Hokage sat buried under stacks of paperwork, his glasses perched precariously on his nose. Vegeta stood before him, arms crossed, his expression stern.
"Now, Hokage-dono, we need to get ShisuiUU situated," Vegeta stated, his tone unwavering, causing the Hokage to look up with a sigh.
"Fine, he can stay. What rank do you think he deserves?" the Hokage asked, scratching his head, his brow furrowing in thought.
"Make him a Chunin. He's strong but still learning, and he'd make a great leader. He just isn't ready to teach yet," Vegeta replied, a hint of pride creeping into his voice as he thought of ShisuiUU's potential.
"Done," the Hokage said, tossing a headband and vest to ShisuiUU, who caught them with wide eyes. "Now, could you give us a moment alone?"
ShisuiUU nodded, stepping outside, his heart racing with excitement and nerves.
"What's on your mind?" Vegeta asked, crossing his arms, his curiosity piqued.
"I'd like you to join the Anbu Black Ops," the Hokage said, his gaze steady.
"Why me instead of Goku?" Vegeta inquired, genuinely intrigued.
"Your character. You're calm and strategic. Goku, while a good leader, is a bit too carefree. What do you say?" the Hokage suggested, his voice firm.
Vegeta considered it, weighing the implications. "I'll accept, Hokage-dono," he replied, a newfound sense of purpose in his voice.
"But what about Goku?" the Hokage asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I plan to create a team for him. He'll lead, and ShisuiUU will be under him. It makes sense for their growth," Vegeta stated, his tone confident.
"Good thinking. We'll pair him with Naruto and Sasuke, and add a normal Genin to balance the team," the Hokage said, pleased with the plan, a smile breaking through his paperwork-induced frown.
Vegeta nodded. "And for my mask, I want a custom one—dark brown with a devil ape design and red eyes. It needs a seal to withstand my power."
"Consider it done. When you get it, you'll be known as 'Devil Ape.' And remember, keep your identity a secret." The Hokage returned to his paperwork, a look of relief on his face as Vegeta left.
WITH NARUTO
Meanwhile, Naruto and Yugito traveled to Kumo, the sun shining brightly overhead. The bustling village was alive with merchants shouting and children playing. Yugito quickly explained her situation to the Raikage, her voice steady despite the weight of her words.
"Thank you for your help, Naruto-san. Yugito, you'll take a month off to train," the Raikage said, rubbing his temples as he processed the information.
"Actually, Raikage-sama, I want to quit being a Kunoichi," Yugito announced, her heart pounding as she saw the shock on both the Raikage's and Naruto's faces.
"Why would you want that? You're one of our best!" the Raikage exclaimed, frustration boiling beneath the surface.
"No offense, Raikage-sama, but I feel out of place here. I want to be in Konoha, where I feel accepted. I want to be with Naruto-kun," she said, determination igniting in her eyes.
"Your reasons are selfish. I can't agree to that," the Raikage replied firmly, his voice stern.
Seeing her tear up made Naruto's heart ache. "Listen, old man, I challenge you to a battle!" he declared, a fierce determination shining in his blue eyes.
The Raikage chuckled, amusement turning to disbelief. "You think you can take me? The only one who could was the Fourth Hokage."
"Oh, so you're scared of losing to a ten-year-old?" Naruto taunted, crossing his arms defiantly, watching the Raikage's expression shift.
"Fine, brat. What are the stakes?" the Raikage asked, raising an eyebrow.
"If I win, Yugito-chan comes with me. If I lose, I'll quit being a ninja for good," Naruto replied confidently, the weight of his words hanging in the air.
"Deal. But if you lose, you can't return to Konoha ever again," the Raikage added, his eyes narrowing with intensity.
TRAINING GROUND 11
Naruto and Yugito arrived at Training Ground 11, where a crowd had gathered, excitement buzzing in the air. The Raikage stood tall beside a mysterious man, a serious expression etched on his face.
"Prepare yourself, Gaki," the Raikage warned, fire flickering in his eyes.
"Let's see what you've got!" Naruto replied, dropping into a fighting stance, adrenaline surging through his veins.
The mystery man stepped forward, a wide grin on his face. "I'm Killer Bee, and I'll be the referee. No killing and no below-the-belt moves. Let the battle begin!"
Tension crackled in the air as Naruto launched himself at the Raikage, his determination driving him forward. The Raikage, confident in his abilities, braced for impact. But shock spread through the crowd when Naruto blocked his punch with a single finger, a confident smile forming on his lips.
In a swift, fluid motion, Naruto struck the Raikage in the gut, sending him crashing into a mountain. The impact shook the ground, and stunned silence enveloped the onlookers.
Killer Bee quickly snapped out of his shock and announced, "Uhh, Naruto is the winner!" He rushed to check on the Raikage, concern etched on his face.
Yugito rushed to Naruto, her eyes sparkling with joy. "You did it!" she exclaimed, enveloping him in a tight hug, her heart racing. She captured his lips in a quick kiss, a mix of relief and excitement washing over her.
"Of course! I fought for you," he replied, a proud smile lighting up his face.
BACK IN KONOHA
After a few days of travel, they finally returned to Konoha, the village bustling with activity. As they approached the Hokage's office, Naruto could feel a sense of excitement building within him. The Hokage listened attentively as Naruto explained the situation.
"Alright, Yugito, you can join us. You'll be a Chunin and part of Team Goku, with ShisuiUU and Goku as your leader," the Hokage announced, a hint of weariness in his voice from all the recent changes.
Yugito's eyes lit up, her excitement bubbling over. "Thank you, Hokage-sama!" she exclaimed, her heart soaring at the prospect of finally belonging somewhere.
After receiving her headband and vest, they hurried out, but realized they had forgotten one important detail—Yugito had nowhere to stay.
"Yugito-chan, you can stay in my room. I'll take the couch," Naruto offered, his tone earnest.
"No, we can share the bed. But if you try anything, you might lose something precious," she teased, a playful smile dancing on her lips, causing Naruto to shiver at the implication.
A NEW FAMILY
Days passed, and the group noticed Vegeta's absence more acutely. Concerned but knowing he could take care of himself, they decided to eat out together at Naruto's favorite restaurant. The aroma of delicious food wafted through the air, and laughter filled the space as they enjoyed each other's company, engaging in light teasing and playful banter.
Unbeknownst to them, Vegeta watched from a distance, hidden in the shadows, a small smile creeping onto his face as he observed the bond forming between them. "Once again, I have a family to protect," he thought, determination swelling within him.
Goku paused mid-bite, sensing something beyond the laughter. He glanced toward the shadows, a knowing smirk forming on his lips. "Have fun, Vegeta," he mused, then dove back into the conversation, blissfully unaware of the depth of their new bonds.
