What ifs

Gohan launched relentless attacks at Naruto, his speed skyrocketing thanks to the potent Super Saiyan transformation. Despite his fierce onslaught, each of Gohan's strikes seemed to glide through the air, missing Naruto by mere inches, who dodged effortlessly as if dancing with the attacks. Watching from a distance, Beerus raised an eyebrow, astonished at the young fighter's agility. Turning to Whis, he inquired, "Does this boy have Ultra Instinct?" Whis, his keen eyes analyzing the battle, replied thoughtfully, "I can't tell right now, my lord. We shall need to observe more." It was clear that as the clash intensified, both Whis and Beerus found themselves increasingly captivated by Naruto's astounding capabilities. Goku, filled with excitement, grinned broadly, pleased to witness Naruto matching Gohan's formidable Super Saiyan might. In contrast, Vegeta stood aloof, arms crossed, maintaining his usual prideful demeanor, though a flicker of intrigue danced in his eyes.

Eventually, Gohan halted, panting slightly as the realization dawned on him that none of his strikes had found their mark. He stepped back, his eyes narrowing as he found Naruto nonchalantly mocking him, a playful smirk adorning his face. "Done already?" Naruto taunted, his voice laced with amusement. Determined to turn the tide, Gohan summoned his resolve and transformed into his Mystic form, an air of seriousness enveloping him as he glared at Naruto.

"I apologize; it's time to get serious," Gohan declared, his tone deepening with commitment. He launched toward Naruto, his speed now remarkable, unleashing a rapid flurry of strikes. Although Naruto continued evading most of the attacks, he felt the pressure mounting, struggling to keep up. Gohan's speed surged to new heights, landing a powerful punch against Naruto's chest that sent him stumbling back momentarily. Seizing the opportunity, Gohan unleashed a formidable ki blast aimed right at Naruto's location. As the brilliant explosion of energy dissipated, Gohan's eyes widened in disbelief as Naruto emerged from the swirling smoke, unmarked and unfazed.

Unfazed yet focused, Gohan braced himself, readying for Naruto's impending counterattack. As Naruto stepped forth from the haze, he noted Gohan's prepared stance. "I guess it's time to take it up a notch," he declared, a fierce glint in his eyes. Harnessing his power, he transformed once more. As he stood still, energy surged around him, sending tremors through the air with an electrifying intensity. His hair elongated, his physique became more defined, and a vivid blue aura enveloped him like a blazing tempest. Stretching his arms wide, he issued a booming proclamation, "Let's go."

In a blink, Naruto warped beside Gohan, delivering a swift slap that sent him careening away. But he wouldn't let up; as Gohan prepared to retaliate, Naruto reappeared at his side, landing a crushing kick to his stomach that sent Gohan crashing down to the ground. Standing tall, Naruto assessed the scene, watching Gohan rise slowly, his clothes tattered and body battered, yet a faint smile lingered on his lips, revealing his unwavering spirit. Breathing heavily, Gohan declared, "I was kinda planning to save this for my father, but I guess it's time to use it now."

Gohan took position, his roar echoing through the atmosphere as an immense aura erupted around him, sending flickering dust swirling into the air like a tempest. Those on the sidelines, particularly Goku and Vegeta, were stunned, sensing Gohan's power now rivaling their strongest forms. As the dust settled like a forgotten memory, Gohan stood transformed, his hair a striking cascade of spiky white, surrounded by a brilliant white aura filled with buzzing sparks. "This is what I call Beast Form," he declared with gritty conviction. "Now, let's continue what we started."

As both warriors stood poised for battle, a palpable determination radiated from them, their fierce spirits crackling in the charged atmosphere of Beerus' planet. The air vibrated with energy as their powers clashed, each moment echoing like thunder, threatening to unravel the very fabric of reality itself. Trails of chaos and destruction snaked across the outer planets, a testament to the magnitude of their conflict.

When they collided once more, Naruto demonstrated incredible skill, deftly redirecting a devastating punch from Gohan. Channeling that raw force, he surged forward, driving his knee sharply into Gohan's stomach, a move that sent him crashing to the ground. As Naruto landed with the grace of a dancer, the two fighters locked eyes, their unyielding glares a silent vow to push each other to their limits. Every ounce of their focus was poured into this monumental clash, where only the strongest would emerge victorious.
