So I've been thinking about this kind of crossover for awhile now. And yes as I've said previously, I know I make a lot of stories of Naruto and DragonBall Z. Truth be told, those past stories have never been as really thought out as I have for this story.

The story will start off in the DB Era and the same Era where Naruto is a Genin. So before everyone starts freaking out about powerlevels this and powerlevels that, don't worry about it so much. Trust me, I've already got all of that figured out. Now this story will expand into the Z Era and through the Shippuden Saga as well. But that's a little further down the road. Anyway I'm excited to get this started, I hope you all are excited to read it.

Before the disclaimer, if you're a fan of Danny Phantom and Naruto crossovers as well, check out one of my other current stories. It's titled Not Everything Has To Be Ghostly. You'll enjoy that one as much as you will this story hopefully.

I own nothing, not DragonBall Z or Naruto related.

In the beginning, the Universe was a void of nothing except for complete darkness. Then from out of the void came a being of unsurpassed power and childlike wonder. This being would come to be known as Zeno-Sama.

Zeno-sama seen the darkness and was not pleased with the absolute nothing and boredom it brought. So with his incredible power, Zeno began the creation of not just the Universe, but the Multi-Verse as well. Outside of reality, Zeno had used his power to bring forth twelve different Universes. And within these Universes, they would spawn beings of untold might and Zeno would watch over them all. He was still a child at heart, so they were created for his own amusement.

But deciding he wouldn't interfere with the affairs of these universes, the Omni-King decided he would create Gods to watch over them. The Omni-King split portions of his power to create these beings. There were two different types of Gods for each universe, there was a God of Destruction and God of creation. Zeno gave the Gods their orders to keep the balance of the Universe and to make sure to never force his hand. If he had to return to fix their mistakes, he would end up destroying them and replacing them. The Omni-King had also decided to make a place to where if conflicts should arise, they could come and resolve them peacefully. And with that being said, Heaven had come into creation as well. With his work complete, Zeno vanished from reality and back to his kingdom and the Gods went to their respective Universes.

But this story doesn't focus on all twelve universes, it only focuses on two Universes. Those Universes were numbered Universe Seven and Universe Nine. The God of Destruction in charge of Universe Seven was an Egyptian Cat like being that would come to be called Beerus and on his side was his Angel, Whis. Beerus didn't care to really interact with the affairs of his Universe. The only time he acted was when something was needed to be destroyed. Besides that, he let the Kai's do what they did best as they were the ones in charge of creating planets and life in the Seventh Universe.

Whis, unlike his Godly friend, did interact with the affairs of the Universe. He helped teach the Kai's all about the concept of Creation and how to utilize the Ki within their bodies. Whis did help play a big part in what Universe Seven would shape out to be.

In Universe Nine, it contained the God of Destruction that had called himself Lucifer. And by his side was the Angel that had taken the name of Michael. They two were given the knowledge of Ki and the Mystical Arts of Creation. Unlike his Universe Seven counter part, Lucifer was a greedy God of Destruction that did enjoy his work. Lucifer loathed the fact that he wasn't the head deity above all others. And he really didn't like the way the Omni-King had created things, he believed he could do a much better job at ruling.

The Angel, Michael had grown worried about Lucifer's need to further his own power. Amongst the Gods and Angels, there was rumored speculation that Lucifer was planning a rebellion in Heaven. Michael decided he needed to act before a war would break out, so the Angel traveled to the Seventh Universe to talk with Whis and Beerus. As the Angel of Universe Nine, Michael couldn't act against Lucifer due to certain implications. Those implications being that if Lucifer was destroyed, then Michael himself would cease to exist. So Whis and Beerus decided to set a trap for Lucifer, one that would deal with him while keeping Michael in this plane of existence.

Lucifer had decided at the next meeting of the Gods would be his moment to strike. With all the minor Angels he had gathered and all being trained in the art of Ki, there was no way he would fail. He didn't expect for his own and most trusted Angel, Michael to cut his connection with his Army and keep him stranded in Heaven. While Michael and Whis dealt with Lucifer's Army, Beerus and Lucifer himself waged a battle in Heaven.

The Heavens had shaken and nearly been ripped a part from their Godly might and ferocity. But in the end, with his Army defeated, Lucifer was sealed within a void at the edge of the Seventh Universe with two of Whis's most trusted companions to keep watch. Making sure the seal was never to be broken again. With the God of Destruction from Universe Nine sealed, Michael began to fade. He wasn't ceasing to exist but with Lucifer sealed away, he was being deactivated. You could compare it to him being forced into a deep sleep.

With there being no God of Destruction or Angel present within the Ninth Universe, the Omni-King had to do something about this. As the Universe would not survive without either one present. So once again with his incredible power, Zeno merged both the Seventh and the Ninth Universe together. Thus leaving both Beerus and Whis in charge of a much larger Universe itself.

And after billions of years, it's time for our story to take place.

(Age 737, Mount Paozu)

An Elderly man that would one day adopt the nickname of Grandpa Gohan was walking through the forest. Gohan listened as the sounds of nature in the forest seemed as lively as ever. He wiped away the bead of sweat that dribbled down his forehead, today was a bit of a humid day after all.

So why was Gohan hiking on such a warm day you may wonder? Well being secluded on Mount Paozu, he wasn't given the luxury of quick medical services or a quick meals on the go. So he was currently adventuring to find himself a meal for the afternoon and some herbs that he could turn into medicine. The Martial Artist sighed, this trek though wasn't as easy at it used to be. In his youth, this adventure through the forest would have taken an hour tops. But at the ripe ol age of eighty, it has made it last an even four hours.

As Gohan continued his travel, he started to ponder on his life. He had done many things during his time on Earth. He had trained under Master Roshi, became a successful Martial Artist and gone on some adventures that most normal people would never do in their life time. But there was one void in his life he had yet to fill. The void of having a family. Over the years, Gohan had definitely had his fair share of relationships with many beautiful women. But not once did he consider the idea of settling down and leaving the world of Martial Arts behind. Now in his elderly age, he wondered if he was regretting not making the decision to earlier.

"To have a wife and a child to call my own. Maybe even have a couple of grand.."

Gohan's thoughts vanished as he overheard a loud noise coming from the sky. He glanced into the sky to see what could have made such a noise. The object was too small to be an aircraft and they rarely flew around his area anyway. Despite not being able to identify what the object was, he was able to make out one clear thing. Whatever the object was came hurdling towards the forest at incredible speeds! Gohan decided he didn't want to be anywhere in the area when the thing touched down. By the time he tried to make a run for it, it was too late.

BOOM!

The forest on Mount Paozu shook as the object collided with the unforgiving surface. Gohan almost tripped do to the sheer tremors of the impact. Gohan took a few breaths to calm himself. Once he regained his composure, the elderly Martial Artist decided he would go investigate whatever the object was.

"Good grief." Gohan muttered after finally reaching his destination. Deep within a crater was a spherical object of some kind. Gohan got closer and examined the sphere with caution. It was obvious a mode of transportation but he had never seen anything like it before. It was small as well so it wouldn't be able to carry that many passengers. Gohan glanced within the cracked window of the sphere to find the seat was empty.

Was their no passenger to begin with? But what would be the point of sending an empty sphere all the way out here? Was this an attack by some of those Shinobi he had heard about? If so why would they want to attack him of all people? Gohan had many thoughts and more running through his head, but they all came to a screeching halt when he heard something.

"Whaaaa!" The sound of crying could be heard from a few feet off into the forest. Gohan followed the sound into the forest and found an infant child with wild spikey hair sitting on the ground.

"A baby? Now where on Earth did you come from little guy?" Gohan lifted the infant up and to his amazement, a tail fell down. "You have a tail too? Huh I can't say I've heard of a clan from around these parts or anywhere that had a tail. Do you have a special Kekkie Genkai or something?"

The child just looked at Gohan with an innocent and confused expression. The way Gohans face was scrunched up in thought made the child giggle. And he lashed out with a kick that caught Gohan on the cheek.

"Feisty little guy huh?" Gohan chuckled. "Well I just can't leave you out here all alone now can I?"

The baby shook its head, like he knew what the old man was saying.

"Well it's decided then, I'll take you home with me." As he cradled the baby and began to make the trek back to his home, he almost forgot one important detail. "I can't leave you without a name little guy."

Gohan stared at the infant for the longest time, his mind racing with all sorts of names he could give the child. After a few moments, he made his choice.

"Goku."

(Months later, Konohagakure.)

Namikaze Minato appeared on the replica of his head on the Hokage Monument. He could hear the destruction and cries of his people from down within the village. It was all caused by the massive creature before him, the Nine Tailed Fox. Some unknown assailant had managed to kidnap his wife after she had just given birth to their son and undo the seal that kept the beast trapped.

Now the Kyuubi was causing massive damage within the village and he had to put a stop to it. The Kyuubi looked up towards the Hokage Monument and glared at it spitefully.

"So you've noticed me huh?" Minato asked the beast. The Nine Tails growled and opened its mouth, orbs of energy fused together to make one massive sphere of Chakra. Minato quickly flew through hand seals. "I won't let you do as you please!"

The Kyuubi fired its Bijudama at the Monument. Instead of impacting and causing a massive explosion, the attack seemingly froze within meters from the mountain. Minato, with his famous tri-pronged Kunai in hand, used a Space-time technique to divert the blast to another location. Minato chose to ignore the massive explosion he could hear, even though it was miles out.

The Yondaime's senses came alive, his instincts telling him that danger was near. The Hokage spun at incredible speeds, the Kunai poised to slam right into the masked man's skull. Imagine his surprise when the attack actually phased through his skull! The Masked Man grabbed Minato's wrist tightly.

"I'm your opponent." The masked man said, his voice baritone and smooth. "And it's all over for you now."

Minato felt a strong pulling sensation as a vortex seemingly was pulling him in towards the eye hole of his assailants mask. Minato knew he had to get away, acting quickly he vanished using the Hiraishin.

"Quick one isn't he?" The Masked Man muttered before vanishing himself.

Minato appeared in the field that contained his old hideout. One of his signature Kunai was firmly planted in the ground. He kept it there just in case he needed to make a quick escape.

"My attack missed." Minato muttered as he pulled himself up from the ground. "And he materialized and instantly almost dragged me in. I've never seen a Jutsu like that before."

The Yondaime heard the air distort in front of him and looked up to see the Masked Man seemingly appear from out of a swirling vortex.

"I won't let you get away!" The man declared and in the darkness of the night, Minato seen the familiar crimson hue of the Sharingan staring at him.

"A Shinobi who out maneuvered the Anbu assigned by Lord Third himself, slipped through a top secret barrier and knew about the Nine Tails seal would weaken during childbirth." Minato watched the hooded figure with a calculating gaze. The Masked Man simply stretched the muscles in his neck while putting on metal gauntlets. "Furthermore he tamed the Nine Tails and infiltrated the barrier set up by the Hidden Leaf. Only one Shinobi I've ever heard about is capable of such a thing."

"Are you Uchiha Madara?" Minato asked. The Masked Man tilted his head to the side, like a confused animal would before he pulled down his hood. "That's an impossibility, Uchiha Madara is dead."

"I wouldn't be so sure." The Man replied simply.

"At this point it doesn't matter who you are anyway. Why target Konoha?" Minato asked.

"You could say I had planned all this out." The Masked Man said casually. "Or maybe I wanted to start a war. Maybe this is all for the sake of peace?"

"He has some dangerous ideology too. If I don't stop him now, he's going to be a bigger threat than even the Nine Tails." Minato readied his Kunai while his opponent slipped into his own kind of stance. The two didn't move, the only thing moving at the moment was the leaves in the forest surrounding them as a strong breeze caressed them.

"Now that the Nine Tails is free and I've got you all to myself. There is no hope left for Konoha!" The Masked Man declared while rushing towards Minato, the Yondaime mimicked his movements. Minato stabbed forward with his kunai, to any normal opponent they would have been dead on the spot. But once again it becomes apparent that the foe he was facing was anything but normal. Minato found himself slipping through the Masked Man once again and the assailant tugged hard on his chains. The metal links wrapped around Minato's frame. Thinking fast, Minato once again used the Hiraishin to escape the Masked Man's grasp.

"Regular physical attacks have no effect on this man. But yet he materializes in an instant for a counter attack. It seems whoever is the quickest will win this battle." Minato once again rushed the Masked Man. "Kami-willing the quicker one will be me."

Minato did the unexpected and chucked his tri-pronged Kunai at the Masked Man. The Kunai simply phased through his body. As the Kunai was phasing through his foe, Minato summoned up his signature Jutsu, the Rasengan. The bright blue swirling orb came to life and the Masked Man reached out to grab him. Minato had no doubt if the man was able to lay his fingers on him, it would be all over.

"I win!" The Masked Man declared, his fingers mere inches away from grasping the Yondaime.

Then quicker than lightning, Minato vanished! Minato appeared above the Masked Man, one hand grasping the Kunai and the Rasengan in the other. Minato slammed his signature Jutsu into the back of the Masked Man. The ground beneath them caved in due to the ferocity of the attack. The Masked Man grunted in pain as the Rasengan was drilling into his exposed back. He had also unknowingly been marked by the Hiraishin seal.

"My Flying Rajin level two." Minato said as the Masked Man leaped away, clutching his arm. As the Yondaime got to his feet, he noticed the Man's hand seemed to be falling off.

"No wonder you're declared the fastest man in the Elemental Nations. And very elusive as well." Anything else the Masked Man was about to say was cut off as Minato appeared before him in an instant and impaled him with his kunai. A sealing array appeared on the Masked Man's body. "A contract seal?!"

"Yes now the Nine Tails is no longer under your control." The Masked Man leaped back and Minato watched as blood dripped from his wound.

"The Nine Tails will be under my control again eventually as will this world as well." The swirling vortex appeared and began to suck up the Masked Man's body. The Masked Man decided to give off a few parting words before he vanished. "There are so many ways to do it as well."

"He wasn't kidding, he really plans to come after the Nine Tails again." Minato muttered before the very being he was talking could be heard roaring off in the distance. Now that his problems with the Masked assailant were finished, he needed to do something about the Nine Tails.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(An hour later)

Minato and his beloved wife, Uzumaki Kushina, were bleeding heavily. The Nine Tails had impaled both of them with one of its massive claws. Once Minato confronted the Kyuubi again, he had already sorted out what he was going to do.

Minato had summoned the Death God itself and used its power to split the Kyuubi's Chakra in half. He sealed one portion within himself and he was about to do the unthinkable with the other. He had planned to seal the other half of the Nine Tails within his own son. The Nine Tails had other ideas and tried to kill the infant before he could be sealed. Minato and Kushina had taken the hit themselves. Now they were dying and Minato wanted his wife to give their final goodbyes to their beautiful child.

"Kushi-chan, my time is running out." Minato said, ignoring the metallic taste of blood as it dripped from his mouth. "I'll begin the Eight Trigram seal in a moment and seal some of our Chakra within Naruto." Minato, despite the situation couldn't help but smile at how peacefully his child looked as he slept. "Lets tell him our final words."

Hiruzen and his Shinobi listened as Kushina poured her heart out to her child. Giving her final last words of wisdom and things for him to live by. Like respecting his teachers, stay away from bad women and Jiraiya the Sannin because he was a pervert.

"You'll be facing so much hardship and so much pain Naruto-kun." Kushina said, her voice cracking and tears dripped from her eyes. "And I'm sorry we can't be there for you. I hate that you'll be growing up without us. But make sure to have a dream and always stay true to your word."

"Naruto, my advice is the same as your mothers. I hope you realize that we love you." Minato closed his eyes, their final moments had arrived. "Eight Trigrams seal."

With those final words, the Yondaime and his wife had passed onto the next life. And it left Uzumaki Naruto with a heavy burden on his infant shoulders. With that great burden, he would help change not only the Elemental Nations but the world.

I believe that's where I'll end this story for the first chapter. Once again I want to really say how I care little for powerlevels. Not until the Z portion at least.

Now in this story, both the Naruto Universe and DragonBall/Z Universe had been connected. Naruto will meet Kid Goku and they will go on plenty of adventures that will shape the history from both their worlds. Naruto will fight DB enemies in some Saga's and Goku will fight enemies of Konoha eventually. It will be an even balance as I've put a lot of thought into how this story is going to go.
