Hey Guys. Now your probably wondering why I decided to delete The Dragon of the Leaf and re-publish it as it probably wasn't a good idea I have a good reason why I decided to do this.
The reason being is because...I wasn't happy with how my story was going. Whenever it came to me doing chapters for my stories, I always want to make sure that I don't make a single error as I mentioned it before in the latest chapter before it was deleted from my list and I felt like I made a lot of mistakes before (especially how bad my writing was in like the first four to five chapters) and I felt like starting over with a new clean slate.
I don't know if this will be a good decision or not, but please bear with me on this and if you don't then I'm sorry.
Also, who else here has seen the trailer for the new Dragon Ball Super movie because it looks AWESOME! Broly making his canon debut after his previous three movies in DBZ and I can not wait! Although January is a rather long wait, I can wait that long because 1# Broly is one of my top 5 favorite characters and 2# IT'S GOD DAMN BROLY!
Anyway, with those things said, here's the prologue once again of The Dragon of the Leaf!
(A/N: I was also able to create a cover for the story as well and I hope you guys like it and this is my longest chapter I've done and I'll be trying to make the chapters as long as this and not short.)

"Thinking"

The Dragon of the Leaf
Prologue
-On the Exploding Planet Namek...
Namek...it was once a planet that was a thing of beauty which was home to the Namekian race and it's own version of the Dragon Balls...had now become a apocalyptic battlefield for two powerful warriors who had fought it out to the very end.
The first warrior was one of the reason that Planet Namek had become what it was who was known all over the galaxy as Lord Frieza, Galactic tyrant of the universe. Frieza had but one goal when he had come here to Planet Namek and that was to use it's Dragon Balls to wish for immortality which would've made him unstoppable.
His quest for immortality was shortened however as a certain group of people who had come from Earth to also find the Dragon Balls as well for their own reason. That group consisted of Gohan, Krillin and Bulma who had come to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to wish their friends back to life after the brutal battle between them and the Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa.
Speaking of Vegeta, he was also one of the people who was also in the way of Frieza's quest for immortality as Vegeta also planned to use the Namekian Dragon Balls for immortality and then kill Frieza to avenge the Saiyan race.
Things had not gone in favor for them however as Frieza had called in his special force group known as the Ginyu Force to aid in his quest for immortality and Gohan and the others were decimated by the overwhelming power of the Ginyu Force.
However...it turned in their favor as another person had arrived as well who was also the second warrior on the exploding Planet Namek which was Son Goku, the strongest warrior of Earth who had arrived on Namek as well to help get the Dragon Balls on Namek to bring their friends back to life.
He had arrived in the nick of time as the Ginyu Force had nearly killed Gohan and the others if he had not arrived the moment he did. So he had stepped in as he took out each one of the members with no trouble at all which only left two of the members.
They had been taken out even after a dirty trick from from the captain himself as he had stole his body and was almost fatally wounded because of that and had to be in a special healing chamber to take care of his injuries.
During this time, Frieza had decided finally take care of business himself and went to go find the Dragon Balls himself and do things himself. So he went off and had dealt with all of them and he had to go into his final form as well to end things.
However at the last moment, Goku had arrived after his injuries had healed finally and began to do battle with the galactic tyrant. It was a hard battle but with the help from his friends and the power of the Spirit Bomb that he made, it was the end of Frieza.
It seemed as though that Goku and his friends would be able to head back home now that everything was fine now...except that things were not as they were. It turned out that Frieza had not been defeated as they thought and was furious that he was nearly defeated because of them.
Thus wanting to exact revenge for nearly being defeated, he proceeded to kill two of Goku's friends which those victims were Piccolo, once evil now turned good and his best friend Krillin. Not only did it hurt Goku as he had seen his best friend killed right in front of his eyes...something else had awoken inside of him.
In a scream of rage, Goku had attained the legendary form that the Saiyan race had called Super Saiyan and as he gained this new form did he unleash it on the tyrant and thus the final battle between the two had begun.
It was a battle to the death as both warriors were heavily wounded and near the point of passing out, but in the end the winner of the battle was Goku as he had defeated Frieza from his own attack and after sending an energy blast at him after giving him a chance to leave and never come back to only try and kill him again.
The victory however was short lived as he was on a Namek that was only minutes away from exploding and had to find a way off of the planet and escape in time. His spaceship that he took here was gone as he told Gohan to use it to get back to Earth, so the only option he had was Frieza's Spaceship and it was his only hope of escape.
So he headed for the ship and entered as fast as he could to get it started, pressing any button to start it and fly off but nothing was working. Then to his horror, he was forced to exit out of the ship as it fell into the lava of the planet as his only chance of escape was now out of his grasp.
And now we can find Goku who was still in his Super Saiyan form who had multiple cuts and bruises all around his body and only had on his torn up pants and shoes as he floated in the air as he came to one conclusion as he stared off into the darkened sky.
He had no way to get off Planet Namek...and his only option was to be engulfed with the explosion. Goku floated where he was as he thought of some things as he waited for the inevitable that was to come.
"I'm sorry Chi-Chi...I won't be able to come back to you like I promised...Gohan...I won't ever be able to see you again..." Goku thought to himself "I'm sorry everyone...I promised that I would come back...but I won't be able to."
For the first time in his life from what he could remember, he felt tears come to his eyes as he failed everyone and he wouldn't be able to come back to them ever again. As his last thoughts went back to his family, he felt the entire planet begin to shake crazily as Namek was now seconds away from exploding.
There was only one thing he could do as he floated there...and that was to scream at the top of his lungs. So with a mighty and defiant yell, Goku screamed at the top of his lungs as a bright light engulfed his entire body and then in one quick moment-
*KA-BOOM!*
Planet Namek exploded into millions of pieces and thus marked the end...of Son Goku.
-At the Gate of Konoha...
Here at the Gate of Konoha it was currently a quiet night as everyone in the village was in their homes sleeping or out doing things with their friends and in simple terms was peaceful.
Except for the two Shinobi who were currently guarding the gate as no one was passing by and there was no movement of the sort of any kind of enemy or anything in general. Well...mostly one in particular between the two.
The first one was a young man who had brown hair that was combed down to cover his right eye, dark colored eyes, he had a forehead protector wrapped around his head like a bandanna, the standard shinobi outfit that reached to his chin and a flak jacket.
This was Izumo Kamizuki, one of the two guards of the gate.
"Well...it looks like it's going to be another quiet night." Izumo said as he stood where he was.
He heard a groan come from his left and was already preparing for his negative comment about how the two got a job like this.
His partner and friend was also a young man as well who had long spiky black hair, dark colored eyes, a bandage that went across the bridge of his nose, a light colored marking on his chin and the standard Shinobi outfit with a flak jacket as well.
His name was Kotetsu Hagane and right now he was rather annoyed that it was going to be another quiet night.
"Again? Why is it we have to do such a boring job like this?" Kotetsu asked, annoyed.
"It's your fault honestly. You wanted to take this job, so your the reason you do a boring job like this." Izumo told him "Me, I honestly don't mind it being quiet for the night."
"Of course you wouldn't mind." Kotetsu muttered.
"Did you say something?" Izumo asked.
"Oh, nothing." Kotetsu replied.
Izumo proceeded to go back to looking around as the night continued on, both not knowing that tonight wasn't going to be quiet anymore.
-At the Hokage Tower...
Inside the Hokage Tower in his room, Hiruzen sat in his chair as he smoked from his smoke pipe as he stared out his window, looking at the village of Konoha as it was a quiet night.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was an old man who for his appearance consisted of a customary hat, a haori with a red, full length kimono that was tied together with a white sash and the back of his haori had the kanji that said Hokage as he was the person that kept the balance and peace in Konoha.
Things had calmed down ever since the Kyuubi attack that had occurred some time ago after the loss of the Yondaime Hokage who was Minato Namikaze as he had sacrificed himself to seal the tailed beast inside of a young boy who just so happened to have been his son, Naruto Uzumaki.
He still remembered two nights ago about what had happened with the young boy as he had sneaked into his office that night and had taken the secret scroll that contained all of the rare secret Jutsu's that were inside of it. At first it troubled him a bit as he had no idea of why he had done so.
But he was then told by Iruka who he remembered had no headband on told him that he was tricked by another shinobi named Mizuki who said that if he had gotten the scroll, he would've been able to graduate as a shinobi. It was all a ruse as Mizuki had wanted the scroll for himself and even revealed to him as to why the village had hated him.
However, Iruka then told him that after he protected Naruto from an attack from Mizuki that he gave him his own opinion on him and how he wasn't the Kyuubi, but a splendid boy and a shinobi of Konoha.
His words got through Naruto as he then proceeded to use a Kage Bunshin no Jutsu which he remembered Iruka saying that it was his most weakest jutsu and after looking at the scroll was able to perfect it with no trouble at all and used the same jutsu to take down Mizuki and save Iruka at the same time too.
It brought a smile to his face as he remembered how happy Iruka was to see that Naruto had grown so much that night and how he had given him his headband as he promoted him to a genin so he could begin his goal to become Hokage.
Although with the thought of Naruto in his mind, he felt that something else had it's eyes on Konoha and he had no idea of whenever what it was that he felt was coming.
"Hah...I shouldn't be worried like this. For the past years Konoha has had peace and if something else were to come, it will be dealt with." Hiruzen thought to himself.
As he did, he stood up from his chair and walked over to his windows as he continued to look around the village of Konoha, his thoughts going back once more to Naruto.
In a few days he and the other genin would be getting assigned to their teams and Hiruzen only hoped that Naruto would train hard to become a great shinobi like he had promised that he would become.
Even if his antics wouldn't change, he knew that he would become a splendid shinobi.
He would've thought more on him, but his attention however was on something else as he saw some kind of light flying down from the sky and it was heading right for Konoha.
-Back at the gate...
As both Izumo and Kotetsu continued to guard the gate as they stood there, Kotetsu thought he saw something coming from the sky as from far away it looked like a star, but he looked more closely and saw that it was getting bigger.
"The hell? Izumo do you see that?" Kotetsu asked.
"See what? Kotetsu, are you trying to distract me from our job?" Izumo asked, annoyed that Kotetsu was trying to distract him.
"I'm serious! Look!" Kotetsu said as he pointed up into the sky.
Izumo groaned, but he did look up to the sky for his eyes to widen as the thing that Kotetsu was looking at was now a ball of light as it was heading right for them.
"Oh...shit." Izumo muttered "MOVE!"
As he yelled, the two jumped out of the way as the ball of light that was coming landed right in front of the two as a small crater had now been made from where the ball of light had landed and it was only a few feet away from the gate.
"Wha...What the hell was that?!" Kotetsu asked.
"Don't ask me! Let's check it out!" Izumo replied as he headed for the crater.
Seeing him head for the crater, Kotetsu was already up on his feet as he followed behind.
-Back inside the Hokage Tower...
Hiruzen couldn't believe what had happened right now as he saw the ball of light he had seen in the sky come flying down which looked like it landed in front of the village and it took no time for him to be heading out of his room as he opened the door to head for the mysterious ball of light that had appeared. As he walked, a ANBU shinobi appeared by his side.
"Your orders Lord Hokage?" The ANBU shinobi asked.
"Get me all available Jounin and bring them to where that ball of light landed." Hiruzen told the ANBU shinobi.
"Yes sir!" The ANBU shinobi replied as he disappeared from where he was.
After the ANBU shinobi left, Hiruzen continued on to where the ball of light had landed in Konoha. He only hoped that it wasn't an attack on Konoha.
-At the Crater...
As Izumo and Kotetsu looked into the crater, they were rather shocked at what it was that they were seeing that had landed in the crater.
"Jesus...how could someone survive those kind of injuries?" Kotetsu asked.
Izumo didn't answer as he was thinking the same question in his head as well.
As their attention was on the crater, they heard someone arrive and looked to see that Hiruzen had arrived and he was followed behind by two people.
The first person was a young man who had long ash blonde hair that went down to his back, while at the same time was spiky that it ended in a ponytail, blue green eyes, the standard flak jacket that went over a black outfit, hand-guards, his forehead protector and a sleeveless red haori.
This was Inoichi Yamanaka.
The second person was a tall imposing man who had his forehead protector like a bandana, a rugged head and face that was covered in scars, a darker version of the standard uniform of the intelligence division, a black trench coat and black gloves.
This was Ibiki Morino.
"Oh! Lord Hokage! You've arrived!" Izumo said.
"Just in time as well." Hiruzen said "Now...could you tell us what it is we are dealing with?"
"Oh...well Lord Hokage...it would be better if you saw what it was yourself." Izumo said.
Hiruzen wondered what it was they had seen in the crater and proceeded to look over the crater, Inoichi and Ibiki following behind as well. The moment their eyes laid on whatever it was that was in the crater, they were shocked at what they were seeing.
Inside the crater was what looked like a young teen who was heavily wounded all over his body as the only type of clothing he had was ripped up orange pants that had holes all around which left only his bare chest which had multiple deep cuts, what looked burnt marks and bruises everywhere. The only thing that seemed to be untouched was the teen's hair as it was black and it sticked all around in a messy pattern.
"My god...how can someone have these kind of injuries and still be alive?" Inoichi asked as he couldn't believe at what he was looking at.
Even Ibiki was wondering how this teen survived all those wounds. Even he himself couldn't survive whatever kind of injuries the teen had received.
Hiruzen who was shocked as well, instead knew that this teen was not from any village as he saw no headband anywhere on his body and he never knew of any kind of jutsu that made someone come falling down from the sky in a ball of light.
He had many questions as to who this teen was, but remembered that they had a heavily injured teen that if not treated could possibly die right now.
"We must take this teen to the hospital immediately. If we're to interrogate and ask him about how he came here as he did, we must make sure that he doesn't die." Hiruzen said "Ibiki, could you help with bringing him to the hospital?"
Ibiki noddded as he grabbed the teen and began to head for the hospital with Hiruzen and Inoichi following behind.
"Um...Lord Hokage sir? What should we do?" Izumo asked.
"Keep guard at the gate. We have no idea if there will be anymore of those balls of light, so keep watch for if anymore appear." Hiruzen told him.
"Yes sir!" Izumo replied "Come on Kotetsu!"
Kotetsu simply nodded as some excitement had finally come for the night as he had complained about it earlier and followed Izumo back to the front of the gate to keep watch for any more balls of light.
-At the Hospital (Some time later)...
After about a few hours from the doctors working on the injuries of the teen, he was now laying on a bed with bandages wrapped all around his body except for his face as they only needed to put small bandages that covered small cuts that were there.
The doctor was standing by the unconscious teen as Hiruzen, Ibiki and Inoichi were also standing besides him as well.
"So...how long will it be before he awakens?" Hiruzen asked.
"I...don't know. From the injuries the boy received, we have no idea as to when he could awaken." The doctor informed him.
Hiruzen nodded from his information on the teen. So that meant they were going to need someone to guard him until he woke up from his unconscious state.
The door opened from behind them and everyone looked to see that another person had arrived to see what was happening.
It was a young man who had spiky white hair, dark grey eyes, a forehead protector that was down to where it covered his left eye, the standard infantry clothing, a flak jacket, dark blue pants, a long sleeve shirt and finger-less gloves that had metal plates on the backhand.
This man was Kakashi Hatake or better known as either "Kakashi of the Sharingan" or "The Copy-Nin".
"Yo." Kakashi said as he arrived "I was informed from the ANBU of what was going on. So...what is it we're dealing with?"
"Come take a look." Hiruzen said as he stepped aside.
Kakashi walked over and looked to see the unconscious teen and his one eye that wasn't covered widened in shock as he saw how covered up he was in bandages.
"His injuries were that bad?" Kakashi asked wanting to make sure he was seeing things right.
"Indeed. It's the kind of injuries that from what I had seen would usually be after the end of a war." Hiruzen replied.
"How long will it be before he wakes up?" Kakashi asked again.
"We don't know. Until then, I've planned for us to be on guard and wait for him to wake up." Hiruzen replied "Before we do, Inoichi. I think it would be best if we can get an idea of where this teen had come from."
Inoichi nodded as he walked over to the unconscious boy's body and went through a series of hand signs before settling his hand on his forehead.
"Saiko Denshin no Jutsu" Inoichi thought to himself.
Then before he knew it, the scenery around him changed and his breathe was nearly taken away as he couldn't believe what it was he was seeing.
No longer did he see the hospital room...now he saw what looked like an apocalyptic wasteland as a darkened sky was in the air with thunder and lightning mixed together, massive tornadoes that glided over a green colored water, lava that went through multiple cracks all around and even coming out like a geyser and winds that were so strong that rocks were blown away.
Where in the world was this? Not anywhere in the Hidden Nations had he heard or seen of a place like this.
"Where in the world am I?" Inoichi thought to himself as he looked around wherever he was.
All around he saw the same exact thing before his eyes finally stopped as he saw two people were besides him as one of them he recognized to be the unconscious teen.
His look was just about the same with the only difference being that instead of the messy patterned black hair that he had, it was now spiked up and was blonde now. However it wasn't the attire of the teen that he was focusing on as his attention was on the look on his face.
Rage...that was all that he saw as his look showed a silent rage that nearly made his skin crawl. It was a look that showed that the teen wasn't going to show any mercy.
And his look was sent towards the second person or whatever it was as some kind of humanoid lizard creature that was mostly white and had purple spots on its shoulders and head was laying on the ground and was rather horrified to see that half of it's body was gone.
It only made him question even more where this teen had come from, but his attention went back to the teen as he then began to walk away from the humanoid lizard's body as it seemed it was the end of a brutal battle as he spoke.
"Well...you might've had this coming, but I didn't think you'd fall so hard." The teen said "One way or another, I'll still be able to make my way back home. Meanwhile, you can lay there and think about what you've done as you share the same fate as the planet you destroyed."
Planet? Did that mean that this teen came from another planet?
However his attention went back to the teen as he stopped as he heard the creature speak.
"P-Please...H-Help me...I beg of you..." The creature spoke.
Inoichi could see the teen flinch the moment he heard him beg. He then looked back as his face showed even more rage as he looked at the creature's body.
"P-Please...H-Have mercy on me..." The creature spoke once more.
"How many people asked you for mercy?! Hundreds?! Thousands?! Why should you think I would give you any mercy?!" The teen asked in an angry and disgusted tone.
Hundreds? Thousands? Was this creature whatever it was killed dozens of people?
The teen immediately turned around as he was about to walk away once more.
"P-Please...S-Spare me..." The creature said once more.
The look that was shown on his face said that he didn't want to spare the humanoid creature, but at the same time he could see something else that showed that he didn't know what to do.
"Dammit..."Goku muttered.
Then with a yell and a thrust of his hand, a yellow ball of some kind was sent into the humanoid lizard as it surrounded his body and was shocked to see that the lizard who was barely alive began to move.
"There...I gave you some of my energy. It should be enough to allow to escape the planet before it's too late." The teen told the lizard "This is the only chance I'm giving you so you better stop your evil ways now...and hope that we never meet again."
Then the teen began to fly in the air much to the shock of Inoichi as he flew off to wherever it was he was heading to. He then looked back over to the humanoid lizard and was shocked again to see that the humanoid lizard who was missing the bottom half of his body was floating where he was in the air.
"N-No...I won't accept this...I...I am the strongest in the universe!" The lizard said "To be beaten...by a monkey like him...I...I won't allow it!"
The lizard's left hand began to glow as a purple aura surrounded it.
"That is why...you...damned monkey...must..."
Then with a look of rage as his hand was aimed at the teen as he flew off-
"YOU MUST DIE BY MY HAND!" The lizard yelled as a purple pillar of light came out and was sent towards the teen.
Inoichi could only look at what was happening in shock as he was seeing things that were impossible to do for even the most experienced shinobi.
The teen looked back as it seemed he was able to sense the pillar of light coming from behind him and his look of rage was shown once again as he pulled his arm back and just like with the lizard, a yellow aura surrounded his hand.
"YOU FOOL!" The teen yelled in rage.
Then a yellow pillar of light came out of his hand as it proceeded to completely overpowered the humanoid lizard's pillar of light as the lizard looked in horror as it saw it's own attack get overwhelmed before it screamed in terror as he was engulfed by the pillar and an explosion now came to where the lizard had been originally.
Afterwards, Inoichi saw that the look on the teen's face showed that he didn't like taking the life of someone like the creature. He floated there for some time before he continued to fly off to wherever he headed to.
After he was far away enough to where he couldn't see him anymore, Inoichi felt that he had seen enough as he stopped the Saiko Denshin no Jutsu as the scenery changed once again before he found himself back inside the hospital room.
Hiruzen noticed that he had returned after doing his jutsu and knew just from his look that he had gotten quite a bit of information.
"Assuming from your look you've learned quite a lot about him?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes I have. Would you like me to explain everything I saw?" Inoichi asked.
"Indeed, but let's speak about this back at the tower. Kakashi, Ibiki, keep a close eye on the teen while I gather all the information from Inoichi." Hiruzen ordered the two.
"You can count on us." Kakashi replied.
With that said, Hiruzen and Inoichi left the room as it left both Kakashi and Ibiki to guard the unconscious teen until he awakened. Wanting to pass time, Kakashi decided to ask some questions with Ibiki about the situation they were in.
"So...what do you think it was that Inoichi had seen in that teen's mind?" Kakashi asked Ibiki.
"Not a clue. But from what I was able to see in his face, it showed that he'd seen stuff in his head that isn't possible from any kind of shinobi we know of." Ibiki replied.
"Is that so?" Kakashi said.
"Yeah. So for all we know, we could be dealing with someone very powerful." Ibiki said "We need to make sure we keep a very close eye on this teen."
Kakashi nodded as the two continued to wait where they were until the teen woke up finally.
-Some time later (Goku's POV)
If it was possible for him...he was feeling quite groggy right now as he began to slowly wake up. It was only a few seconds in when he woke up that he knew something was wrong.
The first thing to show that something was wrong was he felt pain all over his body as he woke up. That confused him as if he was supposed to be dead, he shouldn't have been feeling any pain as he arrived in Otherworld.
That was also the second reason that showed something was wrong...he didn't appear in Otherworld neither had he heard King Kai trying to talk to him as he arrived and also it felt like he was laying on a bed.
Which begged one simple question...where in the world was he?
So wanting to see for himself, he opened his eyes slowly as his vision was a bit blurry as it was slowly coming back to him. His hearing was also slowly coming back as he could hear muffled voices around him, two of them sounding male and one female.
After a little bit, his vision had come back finally and Goku was able to see that he was in some kind of room that was completely white and shelves were on the wall that held some kinds of stuff that he didn't know about.
He shivered a little as the white wall around him made it think he was in a hospital. Goku continued to look around until he saw the people who's voices he heard were recognizable now.
There was three people standing a little bit away from him which ranged to a white spiky haired man, to a large man with a bandana wrapped around his head and the third person was a young woman that...seemed like she was wearing some kind of cage like thing on her chest? He hadn't seen any kind of clothing like that ever before and it made him wonder who these people were.
But then his vision went down to a small table besides him and his eyes widened in horror as he recognized the sharp looking object that was on it.
-Earlier (Before Goku awakens)
A few hours had passed now as they awaited for the teen to awaken from his unconscious state and in Kakashi's state, he was bored to death.
Ibiki didn't mind the hours that had passed as he had been sitting in the chair he was in the entire time as his arms were crossed together as he just stared at the teen as he waited.
Kakashi couldn't take it anymore as he decided to interest himself with something else as he pulled out his book called Icha Icha Paradise and read it as he had somewhat of a perverted look on his face as he did so.
"What is it with you and that book?" Ibiki asked.
"What is it with me and this book?" Kakashi said "Wouldn't you like to know."
At the same time he giggled as he saw special looking pictures in his book as Ibiki just simply rolled his eyes as his attention went back to the teen. However it immediately went to the door as it opened to reveal that someone else had arrived and it wasn't the Hokage.
Instead it was a young woman that had light brown pupil-less eyes, blueish violet hair in a spiked fanned-ponytail, a fitted mesh body suit that went down from her neck to her thighs, a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam and pockets on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt and pale grey shin guards.
This was Anko Mitarashi and she was rather excited as she entered the room looking mostly at the teen.
"Well if it isn't my two good buddies Kakashi and Ibiki! How's it going?" Anko asked.
"Anko. Your in a rather good mood tonight." Kakashi said.
"I am. I thought this would be another boring night, but then we got Mr. muscles over here on the bed and things just got interesting." Anko replied as she looked over the teen.
"Knowing you, your probably just hoping to interrogate the kid and possibly torture him for any answers when he wakes up." Ibiki said as he looked at her.
"Oh Ibiki, you know me so well. That might be one of the reasons why I'm interested in the teen." Anko said "Well...that and seeing the muscles makes me wonder if he's...packing anywhere else."
"Anko. Could you please let us wait in peace as I had just gotten to my favorite part in my book." Kakashi asked.
"Book? You mean that porno novel your always reading?" Anko replied.
"It's not a porno! It's a rather interesting book I like to read!" Kakashi said, defending his book from her.
"Please! Just about everyone knows about you giggling every time you get to certain parts in that porno novel that we can all see!"Anko said.
"I won't deny it, but she is right. Even Lord Hokage knows about it too." Ibiki added in, a small smile on his face as he saw Kakashi's panicked face.
"Mind your guys own business! It's not like you would probably want to experience the things that are in this book!" Kakashi said.
"Hah! You just admitted it is a porno novel! That proves my point!" Anko said with a big smile.
"W-What!? No! That's not what I-"
"Guys. As much as I would like to make more fun of him, I think our guest has awakened finally." Ibiki told them.
Both Anko and Kakashi looked to the teen to see that he was indeed awake as for some reason he had a horrified look on his face as he looked at a table beside him that had a-
-Present(Goku's POV)
"NEEDLE!" Goku screamed in terror as he saw it right besides him.
Almost immediately he fell out of his bed as he tried to scramble away from the needle and the people that we're in here as he had already come to a conclusion of where he was.
He was in a hospital! Why was in a hospital?! Couldn't he have been anywhere else except a hospital!?
Goku then noticed the one with the white spiky hair walk up to him and it only made him panic even more now.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO BE STUNG BY A NEEDLE!" Goku screamed in terror.
"Calm down. Your not going to be-"
"GET AWAY! DON'T STING ME WITH THE NEEDLE PLEASE!" Goku continued to scream in terror.
During the midst of Goku's terror of the needle, the woman began laugh hysterically as she had to hold her stomach in the process.
"HAHAHAHA! OH GOD! THIS IS THE MOST FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN!" The woman said while laughing.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT A NEEDLE! THEY STING AND I DON'T WANT TO BE STUNG BY ONE!" Goku yelled in terror.
"STOP! STOP! I CAN'T BREATHE!" The woman said, continuing to laugh.
"Calm down! Your not getting stung by the needle!" The white haired man told him.
For a moment, Goku looked at the man for a moment.
"Wait...your not gonna sting me with the needle?" Goku asked him.
"No I'm not." The white haired man replied.
Then in a single second, he sighed in relief as he didn't have to be stung by a needle.
-Normal POV...
Kakashi and Ibiki had a tear drop appear on their face after seeing the antics of the teen as he woke up and saw the needle. Was this teen really as dangerous as they assumed from the look Inoichi had from what Ibiki had seen?
Meanwhile, after falling down and finally calming down as he wasn't going to be stung by the needle he saw, Goku was helped up by Kakashi as he sat back on his bed.
"Ehehe, sorry. It's just that I can't stand the sight of needles ever since I was a kid as I hated the feeling of it stinging me." Goku told Kakashi.
"We got a pretty good idea from how you reacted." Kakashi replied "Although I think the word hated might be an understatement."
As Goku sat back down, Anko walked up to him as she had finally calmed down from his little show he had.
"O-Oh...man. You really cracked me up there kid." Anko said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Cracked you up? But your not cracked anywhere, so how could you be cracked up?" Goku asked.
"What kind of question is that? I said you cracked me up cause you made me laugh so hard that I never thought was possible." Anko said, almost shocked that Goku didn't know what cracked up meant.
"Well, why didn't you say that then in the first place instead of cracked me up?" Goku asked again.
Anko was almost nearly ticked off at how stupid Goku was being, before Kakashi intervened in it happening.
"Anko, why don't you go inform Lord Hokage that our guest has awakened?" Kakashi asked her.
"Tch, sure." Anko replied, her tone rather annoyed now "How can a guy who's so packed with those muscles be so stupid?! I wanted to smack that kid right in the jaw because of that!"
Anko then proceeded to leave the room as it left Goku, Kakashi and Ibiki in the room, her attitude again annoyed.
"Well...while we wait for Lord Hokage to come, I think introductions should be put out of the way now?" Kakashi asked.
"Oh sure! My name's Son Goku, but you can call me Goku!" Goku introduced himself with his traditional smile.
"Well Goku, my name's Kakashi Hatake, but you can call me Kakashi." Kakashi introduced himself "And over there is Ibiki."
Ibiki simply brought his hand up as a way of introducing himself.
"It's nice to meet you two!" Goku asked "Hey, if you don't mind me asking but where am I?"
"As much as I would like to answer your questions, why don't you save them for when Lord Hokage arrives?" Kakashi asked back.
Although he could just tell from how Goku acted that he didn't seem like a bad kid, he wasn't going to just give information about Konoha.
"Oh OK then. But can you answer me this?" Goku said.
Kakashi wondered what he was going to ask until both he and Ibiki heard a humongous growl and looked around as they tried to figure out what the noise was, until they saw Goku put his hand on his stomach.
"Do you guys have anything to eat?" Goku asked.
-Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower...
"...Then after his light beam attack, he flew off to wherever he was going to and that was all I saw." Inoichi finished explaining.
Hiruzen nodded as he listened to everything that he had just explained to him and thought of a few things about all the information he was told.
The first thing he wondered about was this person's motives. From what he remembered, this teen had killed a lizard like creature who he had said killed about thousands of victims which death was the only option for this creature. At the same time though, what kind of things has the teen done in his past that could be evil or good?
The second thing was the attacks Inoichi described to him. Some kind of light attack that makes a pillar of it come out and have such destructive force is very questionable to what this teen could do. Then to be able to fly like how the Tsuchikage could but in a different way? It made him wonder if the teen had any other hidden attacks.
Then the last thing and what was the most important thing...was this teen a danger to the village? The only way he could confirm this was to speak with the teen himself once he had awakened.
"Thank you Inoichi. You've done everything you could tonight. You can head back home." Hiruzen told him.
"As you wish Lord Hokage." Inoichi replied.
Then in seconds, he was gone as he left the Hokage tower leaving Hiruzen alone. It wasn't for long though as the doors opened to reveal Anko arriving, her attitude he noticed rather annoyed for some reason.
"Anko? What brings you here?" Hiruzen asked.
"Oh, just came here to tell you that blockhead guest is awake." Anko told him.
"Is that so? Well then, I better get going." Hiruzen said "Thank you for telling me."
"Don't thank me yet, cause the kid's a total idiot for not knowing a simple term." Anko said before leaving, still annoyed.
Hiruzen was rather confused at her attitude, but ignored it as he headed for the hospital, while also getting a pack of clothes remembering the state of the teen's attire.
-Some time later...
After some walking and getting a pack of clothes, he arrived at the hospital as he then proceeded to enter the room that the teen was in and as he did...he was rather shocked at what he saw.
On the small table besides him, he saw the teen eating some of the hospital food as a total of twenty plates were on it and he had just set another empty plate on the pile and began to dig into another meal.
Just like him, both Kakashi and Ibiki were rather shocked at Goku's appetite.
"Thus ifs remmly gufd!" Goku tried saying as he continued to stuff himself up.
"Uh...maybe don't speak with your mouth full?" Kakashi told him.
Then after one more gulp, a total of twenty-two plates sat right beside him as he patted his stomach feeling full.
"Man...that was good! I never knew hospital food was so good!" Goku said with a big smile on his face.
"Jesus...how big is his stomach?" Ibiki thought to himself.
Kakashi was almost tempted to go bring another plate as he didn't believe that he was full, until he noticed that Hiruzen had arrived.
"Oh Lord Hokage! You've arrived." Kakashi said.
"Yes and I can see our guest was rather hungry as I was gone." Hiruzen said.
"Hehe, my stomach couldn't take being hungry anymore." Goku said.
"Well...now that dinner is out of the way, I would like you to come with me as I have some questions to ask you." Hiruzen told him.
"Questions? Sure! I'll answer them!" Goku replied.
"Good. But first...I brought these for you as your rather...lacking in attire." Hiruzen told him.
Goku raised an eyebrow as he wondered what he meant by that until he looked down and saw that he was rather bandaged up and he had no clothes on besides his torn up pants. So with a nod, Hiruzen gave him the pair of clothes which was a simple white shirt and blue shorts.
A minute later, Goku now had on the pair of clothing as his torn up pants were left on the bed.
"Now then. Let us talk back at my place. Ibiki, come along." Hiruzen said.
Ibiki nodded as he got up from his chair and began to follow the two, before Kakashi interrupted them.
"Uh, what about me?" Kakashi asked.
"Kakashi, why don't you help with those dishes so the hospital people don't have to go through that task?" Hiruzen told him.
"What!? B-But...fine." Kakashi said, not trying to fight back as he knew he would've lost in trying to come up with something to not have to do it.
Then with a smile, Hiruzen left with Goku and Ibiki behind him which left Kakashi alone with the pile of dishes.
-At the Hokage Tower...
After some walking, the group had arrived at the Hokage tower as Goku continued to follow Hiruzen with Ibiki following behind as they walked down a hallway.
"I forgot to ask you of this, but I was wondering what your name was." Hiruzen asked.
"Oh, I'm Son Goku but you can call me Goku." Goku introduced himself again "What's your name?"
"Hiruzen. It is nice to meet you Goku." Hiruzen said.
As they introduced themselves, the group had arrived at a room that Goku noticed was being guarded by two people that wore clothing that looked a little similar to the one Kakashi was wearing.
But he didn't have much time to look at them as Hiruzen waved his hand on a silent command and the two ANBU shinobi left as he then proceeded to enter into the room.
Goku followed with Ibiki behind him and he was a bit awed as he saw what was in the room he was in.
All around him he saw shelves that were full of books, scrolls and other things that he didn't recognize, a row of pictures that had the faces of people who he noticed wore the same attire and he saw a few different kinds of weapons tat looked really sharp and dangerous.
His attention however was mostly on the row of pictures as Goku was interested about the people as it started with a young man with long black hair, to a young man with white spiky hair, then he was surprised to see that Hiruzen was on their as well and it ended with a man with yellow spiky hair.
Hiruzen noticed that he was quite interested in the pictures.
"I see that the pictures have caught your eye." Hiruzen said.
"Yeah. Who are these people?" Goku asked.
"Those are the previous people who have taken the role as the Hokage. They are the one that keeps peace and balance with the village and making sure that things are always good." Hiruzen said "Every generation however, the title of Hokage is always passed down and such we always have a new person that will take place for the older one."
Goku nodded, although he didn't understand what he was saying, he was able to simply understand that the Hokage is the one who takes care of anything that tries to attack the village.
However, he wondered about something as he noticed the last Hokage who was the one with the yellow spiky hair wasn't here and instead was Hiruzen which made him wonder where the yellow spiky haired guy was.
"Wait a minute...if these are all the previous Hokake, then how come the guy with the yellow hair isn't here?" Goku asked while saying Hokage wrong.
"It's Hokage and that is the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. As to why he isn't here and I am instead of him...he died protecting the village from an incident that occurred some time ago." Hiruzen explained.
"Oh...I'm sorry." Goku said, feeling bad about bringing it up.
"It's alright. Now then...I think it's time we got down to questions." Hiruzen said, his eyes looking at Ibiki indicating to be ready to tell for any lie in Goku's face.
"Oh sure! Ask away!" Goku said.
"Good. The first question I have for you is how was it you had gained such injuries as that?" Hiruzen asked.
Goku flinched as he thought back to his brutal battle with Frieza and remembered how much the two had nearly killed each other because of it.
"These...I was facing someone that was really strong that it took me just about everything to take him out." Goku explained, his hand trailing down his chest.
Hiruzen looked to Ibiki for a moment and he nodded showing that he was telling the truth, so he proceeded to ask his next question.
"Alright. My next question is what village is it that you are from?" Hiruzen asked.
It was a silly question as he had an idea of where Goku had come from, but it didn't hurt to ask but he had an idea of what his answer would be as he saw his confused expression.
"Village? I don't recalling being from a village...as least from what I can remember." Goku replied.
Once again he looked over to Ibiki and he nodded again.
"OK, my last question is what was the last thing you remembered before you had awakened back at the hospital?" Hiruzen asked.
Goku thought about it for a moment as he put a hand up to his chin as he tried to remember the last thing he could before awakening here.
"Well...the last thing I remember was being engulfed in a bright light and after that I blacked out." Goku replied.
This time, Ibiki did nothing as he didn't nod nor did he shake his head which meant he was saying the truth but at the same time it didn't feel like the truth.
"Is that so? Is it all you can remember?" Hiruzen asked once more.
"Hm...sorry, my memory is a little fuzzy." Goku replied, trying to not reveal that he was on the exploding Namek.
However he was shocked as the next thing Hiruzen said revealed everything.
"Did it involve a volcanic like area with thunderstorms and such?" Hiruzen asked.
"What!? How did you know that? Can you read minds?" Goku asked.
"Well not me, but I do have a shinobi that is able to read peoples minds." Hiruzen told him "And we learned of a few things as to the someone you were facing and where your from."
"Is that so? Well...did you have any questions about where am I from?" Goku asked as he didn't really like it having someone come into his mind without him knowing.
"I have quite a few, but the main one I want to ask is...would you be able to head back to where you had come from?" Hiruzen asked.
Goku was about to answer, but didn't as...he didn't have a way to get back home. Even if his friends could get the Dragon Balls, it wouldn't be able to work because of one major thing.
If they believed that he was dead after the explosion from Namek, then he wouldn't be able to come back to life because he had "died" twice. Once from sacrificing himself against Raditz long ago and if he hadn't survived the explosion of Namek, then he would've technically died twice and because of that he wouldn't be able to be brought back to life.
The Dragon Balls only allowed the person to be brought back to life once, so he wouldn't be able to return to his world.
Hiruzen noticed the look that he had and could tell that he had no way of getting back to where he had come from.
"I...don't think I'll be able to head back to where I came from." Goku said, his tone sad.
"Is that so? Well then...how would you like to live here then?" Hiruzen asked.
Goku looked at him in shock as he couldn't believe what he heard him say. He was offering him a home here after they had just met?
"You really mean it?" Goku asked.
"Of course. I do have a few conditions however." Hiruzen replied.
"What are the conditions?" Goku asked again.
"The first condition is if you are going live here, I would like for you to become a Konoha shinobi as I can tell from how you are with those muscles that you are a capable fighter." Hiruzen told him.
"Alright, any other conditions?" Goku said.
"The other condition is that I would like you to meet me at the training grounds tomorrow so I can test your skills to see how well you are as a fighter." Hiruzen said.
"Test my skills? As in do sparring matches?" Goku said.
"Yes. Is that alright with you?" Hiruzen asked.
"Sounds simple enough! Yeah!" Goku replied.
"Excellent." Hiruzen said "Now then...it's time to talk about where you'll be living here in Konoha."
"Where I'll live? Is is simple to do?" Goku asked, having no knowledge of how getting a house works.
"Well...I don't think we'll be able to get you a house immediately as I'll have to look into any houses that are available...but...I might have an idea of who could help us." Hiruzen said.
-Later...
Goku wondered who it was that could help them as Hiruzen had brought him along as they walked up to a small apartment that was some distance away from where the Hokage tower was and it made him curious.
As they walked up to the door, Hiruzen decided to tell him about a few things about this person that could help him.
"I'll let you know ahead of time that this person is...quite a trickster and loves to pull pranks." Hiruzen told him.
Goku raised an eyebrow as he wondered about that, before he heard Hiruzen knocking on the door.
"Naruto. Are you busy?" Hiruzen said through the door.
"G-Gramps!? Give me a sec!" A voice said panicking from the other side.
A minute later, the door opened and Goku was able to get a good look of the person that was now standing in the door.
It was a young boy that had yellow spiky hair that felt familiar for some reason, blue colored eyes, a white tank top and light blue shorts.
This was Naruto Uzumaki.
"Sorry for the wait Gramps! I had to put a shirt on because I was only in my shorts. Did you need something?" Naruto asked.
"Yes I do. Your apartment is big enough to hold two people right?" Hiruzen said.
"Uh I think so. Why?" Naruto asked again.
"I was hoping if you could let my friend live here for a little bit until I can get him his own home." Hiruzen replied as he moved over to reveal Goku.
Being that he was meeting someone new, he introduced himself.
"Hi there! My name's Goku!" Goku introduced himself.
"O-Oh uh...Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto introduced back, although shocked about what Gramps was asking for him.
"Could you let him stay here until I can get him his own home? I would appreciate it a lot." Hiruzen asked again.
"Uh...alright. I'll do it for you Gramps." Naruto replied "In exchange though, you gotta take me out for Ramen!"
"I'll see if I can. Now then, I best be going now. I hope you two can get along." Hiruzen said before disappearing from where he was.
Which left Goku and Naruto by themselves as they continued to stare at each other.
"R-Right...well...come on in." Naruto said, moving out of the way.
Goku walked in and looked around to see it was a rather small apartment that looked like it was able to hold the two of them with no trouble as it had a small kitchen at the side, a hallway that lead to a room and the bathroom as well. He also noticed that there was a couch by the entrance and a small table there as well.
"Hm...nice little place you have here!" Goku said.
"Eh, I don't know if it's nice but its better than nothing." Naruto said "Well...if you need to go to the bathroom, it's over there and if you get hungry I have some instant cup ramen in the shelve if you get hungry."
"And I'm guessing this is where I sleep?" Goku asked as he pointed at the couch.
"Yeah. Sorry, it's because I only have one bed so you'll have to sleep on the couch." Naruto told him "Well...it's really late so we better get some sleep."
"Right. Well, good night Naruto!" Goku said as he laid down on the couch.
"Night." Naruto said as he went to his room, before turning the lights off.
As Naruto went to his room and he laid on the couch, Goku thought of one thing before going to sleep.
"It looks as though that I'm going to start my new life here in this place. I'm gonna really miss my world, but I hope I can get used to things here and make some friends too." Goku thought to himself.
Then after his last thought, his eyes closed as he fell asleep with tomorrow being his first day living here in Konoha.
