Return of old Legends, Rise of new Heroes V2

Chapter 1: I want to see the Hokegi!

Pain, the one and only burning sensation felt by the toad sage as five long black spears were jammed into his body by the red headed Akatsuki leader. After fighting an intensely drawn out battle against Pein, the most powerful of the Sannin was just simply, done. He had even fought using his Legendary Sennin Mode, including the summoning of both Shima and Fukasaku. Alas, all was in vain, as Nagato and his Puppets of Rinnengan proved too much, barely incurring any significant losses. And now, Jiraya lay face down in his own blood, with only his mind intact.

'I've got to tell the Head Sage…before it's too late' he thought to himself.

Slowly, his brain fired signals to various parts of his body, trying to figure out what can still be used.

'Ok...let's see. I can move my pinky toe, my left wrist and left middle finger, some part of my face….and get a load of this! Of all things, my little brother down there seems to be working! Ha!'

Jiraya would have laughed, if such a thing was even possible in his condition. Metaphorically shaking his head clear, he got serious.

'My throat's caved in. I cannot move my major limbs to get me upright. My vision is blurring, and the pain has me hallucinating already. What do I do…' Jiraya pondered, thinking of a way to leave his dying message. He knew his time was no matter how hard he willed, his body wouldn't respond. His Will of Fire, seemed to be out of fuel for good. 'Darn it…Darn it…I…can't….It's no good…I'm passing out…I'm dying'

With those last few thoughts, his eyes shut tight. DMT molecules, whose only purpose is to be released at the time of death, activated themselves, having lain dormant from birth. Time stopped. Or at least that's what it felt like. Jiraya's perception of Time and Space had been thrown off a cliff. His entire life, every single second of his 58 years, was being playing in front of him. He saw, for the first time ever, his birth, the cutting of his umbilical cord, the Medical Ninja holding him upside down and slapping his butt, his Mother's serene face and all the initial aspects of his life he would have been too young to remember. 10 years passed, 20 years, 30, 40, 50 and finally the replay of his life was over. He had seen the faces of the teammates that he had loved, teammates that he hadn't been able to save, his star pupil, the man that had lived and died as the ideal Hokage.

He wished he could have lived and died like they had done, for he believed that his shortcomings were just an amusing distraction that would end up blurring his true character. After all the failures and mistakes that he had committed, he would be given one last grand adventure and be able to die the death of a true shinobi. That's what he had believed in. Oh but no! Instead, he found himself here; face down in a massive pool of his own blood, betrayed, humiliated and defeated. The man, whom at one point had called him Sensei, was responsible for this awesome situation he was in. Definitely not the death he had hoped for. He had always wanted to go down fighting for his home, defending the village in some way, just like the great Hokages of past. Fighting some overpowered evil enemy, charging up an insane attack even more powerful than his OPed enemy, striking him down with one awesome final blow and succumbing to his wounds or whatever. And as he lay dying a beautiful woman would be sobbing over him, begging him to stay with her just a little longer, surrounded by crying faces of his loved ones. He would then proceed to give a lengthy, tear-jerking speech, which would be long enough that they could have healed him had he shut up, but everyone knows that lengthy speeches are the best way to die. Especially after Overpowering an Overpowered enemy. And looking super cool. But alas the dream death he had always envisioned only accumulated to just that, a dream.

Finally, he started seeing a bizzare skull shape. Which was imprinted on a door. For some reason, his hand seemed to be reaching out to the door. He was certain now that he was, quite literally, at Death's Door. But before he could touch the handle, Jiraiya heard a familiar voice, one that he had heard so much in the last few years. It belonged to that crazy knucklehead of an apprentice of his, saying loudly exclaiming something that he had done a million times before.

"I'm going to be Hokage someday, the greatest one in history! I don't go back on my word, for that is my Nindo-ttebayo!" Uzumaki Naruto yelled in his usual overly flamboyant way, a determined look in his eyes and cheeky grin on his face.

'Hehe…The most important thing for a shinobi to have is the spirit and the guts to never give up! Right Naruto? Never go back on your word…and never give up, no matter how bad it gets. That's your ninja way. And I'm supposed to be your teacher…The student's ninja way should be the masters too…right Naruto? I can't go out like this!' he yelled in his head. 'Because Iam…Jiraya of…the Sannin….Master…of Konoha's future best hokage!' Slowly, the door with the skull on it began to disappear, as Jiraya felt his physical eyes move. With one last push, he forced his eyelids open.

As if his body seemed to understand, he was filled with sudden but tiny warmth, almost as if his metaphorical Will of Fire had been relit in reality. He then realized, from god knows where, his body had supplied him a tiny amount of energy. Making best use of it while he can, Jiraya began to lift himself up. "GHA-HACK" he grunted as he coughed up a large sum of blood from his mouth

Pein who wasn't too far away along with his other selves were preparing to leave. At that moment, his senses tingled as he turned to take a look back, and he took in the sight of an almost dead, but still alive Jiraya grinning at him.

'Hmm. Strange. I was sure his heart had stopped.' Pein thought. Pushing some chakra into his Rinnegan, he had another good look at him. 'Hmph. Chakra. I don't know where or how he still has some, but Chakra is the only thing keeping him alive still. His heart has definitely stopped.' Pein had heard of this phenomenon. Intense willpower, combined with the DMT molecule would be the cause of Jiraya's obvious lack of death.

Jiraiya lifted his head to lock eyes with his fallen apprentice for only a moment before he turned his gaze to the elder toad on his shoulder. Without saying a word the elder toad knew what he was being asked to do and hoped on to the ground in front of him. Using some of his new-found chakra, Jiraiya managed to create a small flame on his right index finger and etched one final message on the toads back. As he finished he notice the other Peins heading in his direction and with a final look, he sent his friend away, carrying his last words on his back.

'Never give up…that was the choice I had to make...Naruto…you're the destined child, I know it…the rest is up to you!' He thought to himself, smiling before one of the Peins launched his arm aimed at the concrete slab Jiraiya was laying one. When the projectile made contact, Jiraiya felt himself being plunged into the dark cold water below.

'There we go! Now, that ending was a little better' he thought as he slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, a divine smile on his face.

'Yep the frog at the bottom of the well…pulled off into the great ocean. Hehe…Yep…pretty damn honorable' he thought to himself as he felt himself slowly go numb and his surroundings became dark once again.

'Guess it's finally time to put down my pen…oops! I need a title for the next book! Let's see…

Ah got it! The tale of Uzumaki Naruto…Perfect.' he thought as he finally lost consciousness.

This is probably where he would have died. Note the uncertainty in the previous statement, for that wasn't the end of the toad hermit. At that very moment someone appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Jiraiya, and disappeared. All of this happened in one truti*. It was impossible for anyone, even Pein to know what had happened. As such, Pein, convinced of Jiraya's death, turned away and headed back to the base. Of course, no one was there to notice the small tear, threatening to fall from his face.


Jiraiya groaned rolling over before his eyes popped open. He immediately sat up and looked around.

'Where am I?'

He looked around.

He was now in a small white room with a window to his left, a desk to the right and a door, probably leading outside, at the far end of the room. He was laying on a very comfortable futon, wearing a white spa robe. The old man's eyes darted back and forth simply taking in everything about his new surrounds when something else caught his attention.

'What the devil?!'

His arm that had been blown off by the Akatsuki leader had somehow been reattached and was fully functional again. Now one must acknowledge that Jiraiya had functional level knowledge about medical jutsus. He might not be any good at them, but he had been partners with Tsunade for years. Unless it was some kind of forbidden jutsu, there was no way that someone can reattach a destroyed limb without any fragments of the appendage to work with. Ok assuming that there was indeed a way to do so, it was still near impossible to get all motor skill back to 100%!

As he looked at his new arm and moved it around a little something else hit him, he could talk again! Due to the spear that went through his throat almost every tube in his neck had collapsed and inhibited him from breathing too much, let alone talking. Hell, even his heart had stopped!

'Ok, I'm really starting to freak out now' he thought to himself as he looked at his chest where the spears should have gone through. Not only his throat but all the injuries that he had endured through the fight had been healed not even leaving any scares.

'O….kay' he thought trying to calm himself down.

'Could the whole experience with Pein have been a dream? Yea right. Why is that when such impossible things happen, we people keep thinking of it as a dream? Well whatever, it definitely was not one.' he thought. One does not have such a realistic death in dreams.

'Genjustu? Hmm…it most certainly did not feel like one.'

He knew the difference form real life and genjutsu. A hot lady named Kurenai had made sure of that after the last time he used Henge to look like Asuma and seduced her to sleep with him. Oh yea, he definitely knew the difference.

'Ok then. Let's see. My arms are back. The hole in my chest is gone. My heart is fully functional. I even feel chakra burning in me, albeit slightly a different way.' He thought, stroking his chin, eyes closed.

And then it struck him, like a train would. 'This is Heaven. Or Hell. Whatever it is, I seem to be dead and this is the afterlife.' At this point, he was just hoping that he wasn't in Hell.

It was the only explanation that the sage could think of. He looked out the window to his left.

"Holy Crap!" He yelled.

The only thing he could see out of his window was white clouds and blue sky. Yep, he was dead he concluded. THUD He fell back onto the futon.

Holding his head in his hands, and staring at the celing, he thought, 'Well looks like my story's finally done and dusted. Hmm…who would have thought that my own student would have been the one to do it? I just wish I knew what caused him to become so twisted." He thought as he pondered over the actions of his former student.


Flashback

Jiraiya had just found his former student, the now Leader of the Akatsuki, and while he had him restrained the toad sage was attempting to get some answers.

"Sensei you are still just a normal person. But I, living in the center of an infinite universe of pain, have grown from a person into something more." The restrained Pain said.

Jiraya merely growled "Explain."

"That's right…I've grown from a person…into a god. As a god what I say, what I think becomes the Laws of this World. Sensei you're still just a person…I don't expect you to understand what I'm telling you". Jiraya could sense calm, but intense superiority in voice.

"Things I couldn't comprehend as a human are crystal clear now that I am a god. And by the same token, I've noticed there are things I can do as a god that I could never dream of doing as a human. To put it simply, I have evolved"

After hearing this Jiraiya was dumbfounded, mostly in the fact that his young apprentice, whose only wish was to protect those close to him, was now proclaiming himself a God.

"What are you trying to accomplish?" the old sage asked trying to find some reason in his thinking. After hearing the question Pain paused for a moment before speaking again.

"I'm going to put an end to this pathetic world and its endless wars. It will be an act of god."

"Is that why you are gathering the Bijuu*?"

"Haha! Sharp as usual aren't you, Jiraya? Think of this information as a farewell present. Using the tailed beasts, I will create a new forbidden technique, a technique that will eradicate an entire country in less than a second." He said without a hint of remorse or mercy in his voice.

"What?! My god….you are Insane! How could you even think something like that will stop wars?! You'll just make them bigger!" Jiraiya yelled after hearing such lunacy.

"When countries quarrel with one another, what is the quickest way to end the dispute? What? No answer? I'll tell you. Power. That is the quickest way. And hence, I will give my ultimate weapon of Power to the warring nations. People who have a weapon will inevitably use it. Hundreds of millions of people would be killed instantly, and the survivors would be completely terrified! All people…all the world will learn what true pain is. With the instant death of so many people, the war will cease, the pain and fear bringing about a window of peace, till mankind, once again forgets their pain and start the fighting again. Again, I will come in and pass judgment on this world. My technique will breed fear and serve as a deterrent, and the wars will quickly cease, putting the cycle back into motion. The only way to achieve world peace is in this never-ending cycle of War and Peace. One could say this world of ours is still growing slowly, becoming more balanced. Pain will quicken the world's growth, as it did mine. Our world is still in its infancy. But the hands of God have come to guide it to maturity" he said. A brief maniacal look in his eyes flashed in his eyes, before his calmness reappeared, and the fighting resumed.


Present Time

"Damn it Nagato! How can you honestly think that mass bloodshed could possibly bring about Peace. He has become worse than Orochimaru!" Jiraiya thought, grunting in anger.

"But…I suppose in retrospect there really isn't much more I can do about the situation at this point, seeing as I'm dead and all. I just hope that Tsunade gets my message and is able to bring that lunatic down before he goes through with this crazy plan. Oh well…seeing as I'm not involved…I can finally…not care…I guess. Haha!" He relaxed again and began thinking of his life and what he was going to do now, and what he could expect from this Afterlife.

Just then, from the far end of the room the knob on the door began to turn. He immediately sat up expecting to see a divinely beautiful feminine Angel, coming to tend to his every needs. 'And perhaps all my desires too hehehe…' Jiraya thought as a mischievous look spread on his face. 'Hehehe…maybe being dead won't be so bad afterall! Maybe I could even choose my very own personal Angel' He thought giggling.

As he sat there smiling he was shocked at what he saw. It most certainly was NOT and Angel. Heck it wasn't even a girl, but some short fat man. From the looks of him he was no taller the 4 feet and very stocky. He was wearing a small red vest, white poofy pants, red pointed shoes that somewhat resembled elf shoes, a turban on his head. His skin was very dark, so much so that Jiraya was pretty sure he fell into a Tar tub or something, and he had very red puffy lips that made him look like he was a fish mutant.

"Ah I'm glad to see that you have finally woken up" the fat man said in a weird but cheerful voice "You had us all worried for a bit."

Jiraiya just looked at the man in shock. "I thought heaven was supposed to have Angels in it, not fat…whatever he is" he thought to himself. Then, something flashed Jiraiya's head.

"Ok Mr. Oompa Loompa. I can see that you are here to guide me through whatever this (Jiraiya waved his arms around signaling the space around him) is. But I want an Angel. Who's a lady. And is well blessed with great assets. Also, make sure that she is Blonde, and wearing as minimal, if not nothing, clothes as possible. Now go, shoo" Jiraiya said to the person who he had decided was to be called Tarfishman.

"Hahaha! I see you have misunderstood many things! I will get my Master to explain everything. He will be quite pleased to see your healthy condition; I will retrieve him but in the meantime, please do help yourself to this" Tarfishman said, as he brought in a tray of food and set it by Jiraya's futon and then left promptly.

'O….kay. That was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen' Jiraya thought to himself still staring at the door. He looked down at the platter of food the fat man had left him and felt his stomach begin to growl.

'Oh man' he thought 'I haven't eaten anything since I left the village and that was at least two days ago'

So not wanting the food to go to waste, he began to stuff his face, until he noticed a bowl of something that that looked familiar. It was a bowl of ramen. When he saw it, he stopped eating and stared at it, thinking about the disciple of his that ate that stuff all the time.

'Man I'm really gonna miss that kid' he thought to himself, while reminiscing about the two years that they had spent together. Even thought putting up with Naruto wasn't easy, heck sometimes it was darn near impossible, he had kind of grown on the toad sage and was seen by him almost as a grandson more than an apprentice.

'Oh well… I guess he's Kakashi's fulltime problem now' he said as he continued eating.

Moments later the doorknob began to turn again and Tarfishman once again came in.

Jiraiya looked up and just about lost all the food in that was in his mouth when he saw who, or rather what, was behind the midget. Granted Jiraiya had thought that Tarfishman looked strange but the … thing behind him looked even stranger. It was tall…very tall easily being about 8 to 8.5 feet tall and was wearing a white robe with a red symbol in the middle that said "Kami". But the weirdest part was, this thing was green. Not just that but it had pointed ears and short antennas sticking out of its forehead, combined with pink muscles and an odd walking stick.

'Alright' Jiraiya thought. 'If Heaven is this weird, I don't even want to know what hell is like'

"It's good to see that you are doing well Jiraiya, you gave us quite a scare for awhile" The green thing chuckled in a low but calm voice.

'This guy is obviously the oompa loompa's master and the person who owned this place' Jiraiya thought to himself.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions by this point about what happened, don't you?" said the green person.

Jiraiya nodded slightly, indicating his confusion.

"Alright" the green guy said, "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dende, and I am the Earth's Guardian and you are on my Lookout Tower. And before you ask, do not worry, you are still very much alive." Jiraiya simply looked at him, even more dumbfounded.

'Earth's guardian? The fuck is that?'

Jiraiya had been around the block more than once but in all of his travels he had never heard of a guardian of earth before, not to mention a lookout tower.

"I see you have already met Mr. Popo!" the man continued, Tarfishman bowing his head as he heard his name.

At this point Jiraiya's brain was going into overload as he was coming to grips with the fact that he wasn't dead and that he was talking with the strangest beings that he had ever seen in his life Finally, he decided to say something.

"Ok… hold on one second you mean to tell me that A) I'm not dead, B) There are green men guarding the earth on floating towers and C) That you healed me?"

Dende simply smiled and nodded.

"Well then, it seems that I should thank you for saving my life, but I just need to know what exactly are you two?" Jiraiya asked

"Well" Dende chuckled "I assume that by now, you have realized that I'm not human. I am from the planet Namek, several thousand light years from earth and Mr. Popo is what you humans would call a genie."

"So…you're an Alien? And…genie meaning…like a 'Rub the side, poof comes out a magical being to grant 3 wishes' type – genie? I thought they only came out of magic lamps! And that too in stories!" Jiraiya said taking a closer look at Dende's shorter companion.

"Hahaha! Not quite, Mr. Popo doesn't grant wishes but he does posses some magical abilities and has been on this tower since it was first erected." Dende said with a smile.

"And how long ago was that?"

"Well…to tell you the truth I really am not sure how long this tower has been here, but I have been here for over 3,000 years." He answered cheerfully.

"So what is it that you two do exactly?"

"As I said before, I have the esteemed honor of holding the position of Earth's Guardian. My job is to oversee what goes on below and to prevent certain harmful events from taking place that the human race isn't ready to deal with. Of course, I wouldn't be able to do any of that without Mr. Popo's help." He said.

"Ok then let me ask you this, if you are supposed to be some kind of all powerful watchman, why haven't you stopped the activities of the Akatsuki yet?" Jiraiya asked, slightly annoyed that someone who was supposed to be Earth's Guardian, didn't seem to be really doing his job.

"Ah you mean the whole ordeal with the Bijuu and all. In all reality that is why you are here, but it is really not my place to reveal too much yet." Dende said "Anyways, right now I would like to introduce you to someone. If you would please follow me." he said as he turned to face the door.

Jiraiya nodded, got up and followed the two men out, still dazed as to what's going on. As they left his room Jiraiya noticed that the lookout tower was huge. It was hard to tell how big yet but it well extended his room. They first went up several flights of stairs and through a few hallways before anyone spoke.

"So what other questions do you have for me Jiraiya?" Dende asked as they walked.

"Huh?" Jiraiya snapped back from his thoughts. "Oh well, you could tell me how I got here; last thing I remember was that I was floating down to the bottom of a lake".

"Of course" Dende said nodding "Actually the man you are about to meet is the one who went and got you out of the lake and brought you here so I could heal you. But I will tell you it was touch and go for a while. When you got here all of your vital signs were fading fast and it took me several hours just to get you out of a critical state. I guess now would be appropriate to tell you that you've had a Heart transplant, for your old one was completely destroyed from having Ki forcibly keeping it beating. It has been some time since I have had to work on someone that injured. After I healed your major wounds it still took you almost a week to wake up on your own"

"My god! A heart transplant?! And a whole week?!" Jiraiya yelled in amazement. With all of this new information, Jiraiya managed to miss the word 'Ki' was used and not 'Chakra'. Dende nodded and kept walking.

'Well, if I've been here a week already, I'm sure everyone at home thinks I'm dead. Now won't they have a surprise, hehe~." Jiraiya snickered at that thought.

"Well, once again, thank you very much." Jiraiya said scratching the back of his head and smiled. "But what jutsu did you use to heal me? I have a friend who is probably the best known medical expert, and I don't think even she could have healed me in the state I was in." Jiraiya said.

"Oh, you mean Tsunade?" Dende turned with a smile.

Taken aback, Jiraiya said "Yes, but how did you…?"

"As I already told you, I am Earth's Guardian. Keeping an eye on who is doing what on earth is part of my job. Anyways, her skills are impressive for your species but my technique is of Namekian origin. Over the years, I have improved them to meet the requirements to treat almost any type of wound. 3000 years…is quite a bit of time you know" Dende said with a smile as they continued walking.

'So' Jiraiya thought 'This guy is a 3000 year old alien and he healed me with an alien technique. Also, for some reason the Earth's Guardian is not from Earth… interesting."

"Here we are" Popo said as they finally reached the outside and entered into a huge courtyard.

Jiraiya winced for a second, letting his eyes adjust to the light. A few seconds later he saw someone in a fighting stance in the center of the courtyard, but given the fact that the courtyard was so big it was hard to tell who it was. Then all of the sudden the figure flew into the air and started flying around.

Jiraiya fell down in pure amazement, he knew that the people from the land of lightning had acquired jutsus for hovering and mid air movement, but nothing like this! This guy was seriously flying around, at very high speeds to boot. Then the man came back down and started going through a series of kicks and punches that would have toppled buildings if they had hit one.

Then he suddenly stopped looked their way and yelled.

"HEYYYYYYYYYYYY! What's up you guys" he said and suddenly in the blink of an eye he was standing right in front of them.

"Holy crap!" Jiraya yelled in surprise.

"This guy just traveled a good forty feet in under a second, not even the Yondaime was that fast" Jiraiya thought to himself.

Unlike the other two that Jiraiya had met, till this point this guy at least had looked normal. He was about 5'10" to 5'11" and wore a sky blue training shirt, baggy blue pants, and black training shoes. This guy also had one of the goofiest haircuts Jiraiya had seen; his hair was jet black and sticking up in three large spikes in the front and a few shorter spikes running horizontally in the back, he was also sporting a smile that rivaled Naruto's after promising to buy him ramen, which did creep Jiraiya out a little.

"Jiraiya I would like to introduce you to Goku, the man who pulled you out of the lake" Dende said.

"Nice to meet you" Goku said happily as he grabbed Jiraiya's hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too" Jiraiya said.

"Well I will leave you two to get acquainted, I have some other things I need to get done in the meantime. Mr. Popo will be here if either of you two needs anything" Dende said as he turned and went back inside.

"Ok see you later Dende" Goku said waving goodbye.

"Well It's good to see that you're up on feet again Jiraiya! Ok, I know you probably have some questions but…. Can we get something to eat first? I just went through my morning training and if I don't get something to eat soon I'm gonna fall over!" Goku asked while holding his stomach laughing a bit. Not knowing what to say at this point Jiraiya simply nodded.

"Great follow me!" Goku exclaimed.

'This guy is reminding me more and more of Naruto every second' Jiraiya thought to himself with a slight chuckle. 'Always ready to go when there's food involved'

Goku first ran over to where Mr. Popo was standing.

"Hey Mr. Popo if you don't mind could you please get us something to eat?" Goku asked as politely as he could with an empty stomach.

"Of course Goku, it would be my pleasure" the midget said in his weird but cheery monotone voice.

And with that he led them to a dining area, where he asked them to wait while he rounded up there meal.

"Ok" Goku started cheerfully as ever "While we wait I'm ready to answer whatever I can for you"

"Well" Jiraiya started trying to clear his mind enough to coherently think of where to start "You could tell who you are and why you saved me? I don't think up till now we have met before and given the fact that you don't look like any ninja I've ever seen, I can't think of any reason you would have to save me"

"Ok" Goku started but was interrupted when Mr. Popo came out with a plethora of food on a rather large tray and set it down in front of the two men.

"Dig in" the short man said "I'll be back with more in a moment"

"More?!" Jiraiya thought "There's enough here to feed about ten people, way more than me and Goku could eat by ourselves and he's getting more?" Or so he thought for as soon as he had finished his thought he witnessed a sight that would scar him for life….Goku eating.

Now, anyone who knew Goku would have been somewhat prepared for this, but being that Jiraiya had just met the guy mere minuets ago, he was completely taken back by the speed and sheer quantity of food this guy was taking in. In less than 10 minutes the entire platter had been cleared leaving only dirty bowls pilling up on the table, and he was still going.

"And I thought Naruto could wolf down food fast…this guy's a machine" Jiriaya thought to himself in complete astonishment and wonder.

As Mr. Popo brought out the next batch of food and took away the first batch of dishes Goku noticed that Jiraiya wasn't eating but staring at him with his mouth open and his eyes bugging out of his head.

"Hey did you want some?" Goku offered, his face still stuffed with food.

Jiraiya didn't say anything back just shook his head with his mouth still open and bug eyed.

"Ok but you don't know what you're missing" Goku grinned before he continued to wolf down his food.

'Oh man' Jiraiya thought to himself putting his hand on his stomach "At this point I just hope I can keep my lunch down from earlier…If I have to watch him for much longer I'm gonna be sick"

About twenty minutes and three platters latter Goku had finally hit his stride, sat back and patted his stomach.

"AHHHHH now that was a meal" Goku said in satisfaction "So what was that question you asked me earlier" Goku asked the still dumfounded sage.

Jiraiya snapped out of his trance and tried to remember what he had asked this garbage disposal of a man.

"I asked you who you were and why you saved me" Jiraiya said still clinching his stomach somewhat.

"Oh yeah that's right" Goku said as his memory was jogged a bit.

"Well" he started "you already know my name is Goku and that I did save you, but the reason I did was because I had to ask you something"

"What" the sage asked curiously as he leaned forward towards Goku

"Ummm well….Hehe…. I kinda…. forgot" He said smiling and chucking at the same time. Hearing this made Jiraiya simply fall over for a second or two.

"Yep, he's not a ninja alright" he thought to himself. He was very aware that people, even he, where known for forgetting things from time to time, but even Naruto would remember something this important.

"Hold on… let me think for a minute it will come to me now that my stomach is full" Goku said to the sage sill laying on the floor in amazement at Goku's forgetfulness.

"Now what was it that King Kai wanted me to ask you…" Goku trailed away as he put his hand on his chin.


Flashback

"Goku…Goku….GOKU! Are you listening to me at all?!" Said the north Kai who at this point was getting more and more put off at Goku who was, as usual, stuffing his face with food.

"Sorry King Kai but this stuff you put in the dumplings is Awesome!" The hungry saiyan exclaimed as he continued eating.

"Goku we don't have time for this…and if you don't start paying attention to what I am saying right now the next time I call you here you won't get any food at all!" Yelled the shot blue Kai.

"Ok, ok, ok I'm sorry King Kai I'll listen but you don't have to be mean about it" Said the now pouting Goku.

"Fine, now listen Goku I need you to return to earth something is going on that may require you to step in" said the now serious Kai.

"What? Back to earth? But I haven't been there since….erm I can't remember. I went at least a few times after the fight with Omega Shenron…I think the last time we went down was when Chichi wanted to try out these new "Pleasure Toys" they were selling down there…whatever they were. But we most certainly had some 'Pleasure' afterwards..hehe…But anyways, that was quite sometime back! Besides, I thought you told me Earthlings are getting stronger and wouldn't need help anymore?" Goku questioned.

"I know what I said Goku but something is going on that I just don't like…I need you to go to earth and…


Present Time

"Ah! Now I remember!" Goku shouted triumphantly

"Well what?" Jiraiya questioned again "And who the heck is King Kai?"

"Uh…well he's the one who watches over the northern galaxy but that's not important now!" Goku said quickly trying not to forget what he was really trying to get out

"I'm supposed to ask you if you could get me in to see the ho…hokige…hokegi…"

"You mean the Hokage?" Jiraiya finished the Goku's sentence.

"Yah that's it I need to tell her of what's going on, and King Kai thought that me just warping into her office and explaining everything wouldn't be a good idea."

"So you saved me in order to talk with the Hokage is that right?" The sage asked thinking that this guy was just trying to get a favor out of him by saving his life.

"Yep but originally I wasn't intending to cut it so close, I had to come here and ask Dende to help me find you, since we've never met I didn't know what your energy felt like so I needed some help. By the time we located you, you had just been blown into the lake by that weird eyed guy so I had to use my instant transition to get to you bring you back here so Dende could heal you"

"Now hold on a minute there are still several things I don't get" the sage started "First off what do you mean when you said what my energy felt like?"

Goku looked at the older man in confusion "What do you mean? Can't you feel the energy of people you know or that are very powerful?" Goku asked

"Well some people can trace chakra trails using curtain Jutsus and others can do it with the aid of a Kekai Genkai but if you mean sensing others due to their chakra levels alone…not usually" Jiraiya finished.

"Well I guess it just takes practice and given the fact that when I was last on earth not many people could do it, I guess it's not that surprising". Goku said

"This guy is really not making any sense at all" Jiraiya thought "I've heard of rambling before but he is constantly pulling stuff out of mid air, I'm beginning to think he may just be crazy" Noticing the sages confusion Goku stopped.

"Oh man, I guess for everything to make sense I should probably start from the beginning huh?" Goku asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah that might make things a bit easier"

"Ok my name is Goku and I am a Saiyan, born on Planet Vegeta, but grew up on Earth, which is what my heart holds as Home." he started "I was sent to Earth as a baby to initially take it over, but given a bump on the head my initial mission was forgotten and I was raised as a normal human. Right now there is only one other original pure blooded Saiyan other than me left alive, the rest of them were killed by an intergalactic overlord named Freiza, when he destroyed their home Planet Vegeta a few thousand years ago. Are you following me so far?" Goku asked

"Well sort of" Jiraya said still a little confused.

"Ok then…the last time Earth was in major trouble was when I had my fight with the evil dragon Omega Shenron. After the battle, I ended up absorbing the dragonballs and became well… immortal as far as my age goes anyway. After that I ended up leaving Earth to act as a Universal Guardian at the request of the Supreme Kai who watches over the entire universe, given the fact that I'm a lot stronger the he is, and I have been doing that ever since." Goku stopped for a second smiling.

"So…you are some kind of super guardian sent to earth by some super being to ask me to get you an audience with the Hokage?

"Yep"

"But if you're all that strong why not just take care of the problem yourself?"

"Well I guess I could if I wanted to but I think if we work fast enough my strength won't be needed at all."

"So what is this big emergency anyway?" Jiraiya asked inquisitively

"Well" Goku started much more serious than before "King Kai told me that there was a group of people on Earth that were collecting these creatures of mass power and putting them into a giant statue, in the hopes of using the creatures power as a weapon. I think he told me that there were nine of them but I could be wrong."

"The nine tailed beasts. Then the group he is talking about must be the Akatsuki" Jiraiya thought to himself. The idea made sense, being that the last conversation he had with Pein, he did say something about making everyone feel pain or some such nonsense like that.

"The thing they don't realize, is that if they get enough power into the statue there will be a weapon but not what they're thinking it will be. Inside the seal is another saiyan…one I have fought before and one who was too strong for King Yemma, the guy who decides who goes where after death, to put in his place after he died. I would be able to stop him if he does awaken, but why go there eh?" Goku said grimly

"So who is this guy?" Jiraiya asked

"His name is Broly and he is what is known as a Legendary Super Saiyan. Out of what I remember Vegeta telling me, the Saiyans give birth to a Legendary Super Saiyan only once every millennium, and this individual has such immense power and strength. The only problem is that with all that power, the individual usually goes crazy and ends up destroying themselves. Broly's no exception, however he has had a direct goal to kill me due to us being born on the same day. I guess I tormented him with my crying as an infant hehe. Anyways, I defeated Broly once and my sons killed him the second time. However, after he died, king Yemma couldn't control him long enough to send him anywhere, and given Broly's great strength he could have destroyed a good part of other world if Yemma didn't act quickly. Hence, he immediately had him sealed in what he called a Seal of the Buffalo, which unless bombarded with extreme power, would never break. The seal was then cast into the far corners of the galaxy where it just so happened to land on Earth. Somehow everything happens to Earth. Well after that, somehow this group found it thinking that they could use it as a supreme weapon. If they released Broly could easily destroy almost every planet in the solar system and then some."

At the end of Goku's story Jiraiya was dumbfounded, not just in the fact that it made some scenes but the fact that any being could possibly be that powerful. He knew that some forbidden jutsu could potentially destroy a large village like Konoha but to destroy even a whole planet just seemed impossible.

"So if this being is so powerful then why do you need to see the Hokage? I mean shouldn't you go in and finish it yourself?" Jiraiya questioned

"Like I said before, this is mostly an earth made problem and if it comes down to it I will fight, but if we can stop this group from gaining control of any more of these creatures it won't matter. The power that is in the statue harboring the seal will eventually dissipate out again if not used in a few years time. So what my job right now is, is to get you guys ready to fight this group and stop any chance of them releasing Broly. Besides, Earths Heroes have to come from Earth not just fall out of the sky like me" Goku said, with a wise smile.

"Fine but let me ask you this…you said you defeated this guy once and that he is capable of destroying planets. So… just how strong does that make you?" the sage asked

"Oh I guess I kinda left that part out didn't I… Hehe." Goku said rubbing the back of his head laughing

"Ok I'll show you, but we'll have to go back to the court yard I don't want to accidentally destroy anything while I'm powering up"

"Well this should prove interesting" Jiraiya thought, as he followed him out.


Alright guys! So as you can see, not much has changed, Story-wise, and character-wise. Also, I will be including Power Levels at the end of every chapter, which is of course to put things into better perspective. Also, some new words, if used, will be explained in what I like to call a StarNote. Star notes explain any words which have a * next to them in the story.

StarNote*:

1) Truti: Truti is a Sanskrit word. It is the smallest measure of time used in the Hindu Vedas. A truti is the time needed to integrate 3 trasarenus. A trasarenus is a collection of 6 atoms. Basically its a fancy way of saying 0.00059259259 seconds have passed. Pretty insane if you ask me.

2) Bijuu: A Bijuu is a Tailed Beast

3) Henge: A henge is the Jutsu used to change one's physical appearance to whatever desired.

4) Jutsu: If you didn't know this...sigh. Anyways, a Jutsu just means technique.

PowerLevels

Goku (super-relaxed): 5

Jiraiya (Full sage mode): 10,000

Jiraiya (After Heart Transplant): 4,000

Jiraiya (After Heart Transplant, If full power): 11,000

Dende (Full power): 1 Billion.

Thats it folks! Till next time, may life treat you well!
