Chapter 1

"Oh my, what a show! Simply stupendous!" A purple and white alien cackled. This alien's name was Frieza, and he had just launched a gigantic, flaming orange ball of ki at Planet Vegeta, eliminating it along with a warrior race known as the saiyans. He did this in fear of one of the saiyans developing the legendary power required in order to defeat him, the power of the Super Saiyan. "My son lives! Kakarrot! He will be your doom!" A man with black hair that spiked in all directions roared, just before the blast hit.

Bardock woke in a cold sweat. He looked around. The room he was in was white, daylight shining through the window. He sat up, pain shooting through his body as he did so. 'I'm alive?' He wondered. The door opened, and a man wearing what looked like a doctors uniform walked through. On his head was a headband bearing some sort of stylized leaf symbol. "He's awake!" the man announced.

"Where am I?" Bardock asked the man, as several other people wearing the same uniform filed in through the door.

"You're in Konohagakure," the doctor replied.

"Konohagakure, huh? Never heard of it..." Bardock muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" the doctor asked.

"Nothing" Bardock replied.

"Anyways, you were in pretty bad shape. Your ribs and arms were broken and you had some pretty hefty lung damage as well. You're lucky to be alive," the doctor said, "Our medical ninjas are top-notch, we were able to repair most of the damage. You'll need to rest now, Mr..."

"My name's Bardock," Bardock grunted, annoyed at being stuck in the hospital, when he should be trying to find and eliminate a certain purple alien. Bardock's eyes widened, and he clutched his head. "Not now..." he muttered.

A gigantic, red fox had just appeared out of nowhere. It attacked everything in its path, killing several people. The crowd was in a mass panic. A man with brown, short, and spiky hair, wearing a white cloak bearing the kanji for 'fourth' with the standard jonin uniform under it, appeared in front of the fox, a woman with long, flaming red hair, wearing the same uniform, right beside him. Both had tails wrapped around their waists. "Kushina-kāsan..." the man with brown hair said, "You know what I have to do... I just hope Naruto-kun can forgive me for this."

Kushina nodded, "I'll miss you, Minato-chan, I just wish we could've seen Naruto-kun grow up."A man with silver hair and a mask covering his left eye appeared in front of them.

"Yondaime-sama, there have been twelve casualties and twenty others injured. The evacuation of the village is running smoothly." he said.

Minato nodded, "Thank you, Kakashi-san, go back to your post."

Minato glared at the fox. "I'll lure the fox to the sealing point. You grab Naruto-kun and meet me there."

Kushina nodded, before dashing off.

Minato made several hand seals. and slapped his palm on the ground. A giant, red toad appeared in a burst of smoke. The toad and the fox started fighting.

Time skip...

Minato made the last hand seal before putting his hand onto a tiny baby boy's belly. The fox roared in rage as a giant, transparent creature shoved the last of it's chakra into the boy's belly. Minato smiled weakly, "I hope...I...made...the right...choice...Use this power...wisely...Naruto-kun. I...wish...I had... more...time...with you." He said, as he collapsed on the floor.

Kushina stroked her husbands hair. "Heh, my time's almost up as well. I've got a few minutes left before I die too... that's the result of having the beast extracted from you. Naruto-kun, please remember to study hard, and don't let Jiraiya-sama pervert your views on women. Find a good wife...one who will stay with you no matter what." Kushina said weakly, before collapsing.

The vision ended. The doctors were staring at Bardock, unsure of what to do. The door opened, and the brown haired man Bardock saw in his vision walked. "Yondaime-sama" The doctors said, bowing.

"At ease. You can go take care of the other patients, leave us alone." Minato said. The doctors relaxed and left them. Bardock's eyes widened when he saw Minato up close. "There's no way... Nalrak? Is that you? I thought you and your wife left. Why did you settle here, of all the planets?"

Minato was shocked. "Bardock?! It's been too long! How did you get here?! How are the others?"

Bardock snarled, "They're all dead. It was that bastard Frieza, he betrayed us and destroyed our home, along with all the Saiyans. The only ones left are you, me, your wife, Kakarrot, Prince Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz. I got lucky and survived the explosion, the only reason the others are alive is because Frieza sent them away on special 'missions'."

Minato's eyes widened, "That's terrible," he said, "I never did like Frieza. I'm just glad our ships were destroyed in the crash, disabling the call-back feature on them. If our ships had come home empty, Frieza would've been pretty angry at the open defiance. He would've searched the universe for me and my wife, destroying the planets he searched after he was done. The damned scumbag..." Minato growled.

"You crash landed here? But what could happen to make a saiyan ship crash?" Bardock wondered.

"I've been wondering the same thing myself, but I'm glad I did. When we landed here, our first goal was to rid the planet of life...then our scouters gave some rather surprising readings. Readings that were higher, much higher, than Frieza's. And they were in combat" he trailed off. 'Power levels higher than Frieza's...is that really possible?' Bardock brought out his pocketed scouter, and put it on his face. He scanned the planet, but he didn't get any readings over 1000. 'He did say they were in combat...' Bardock thought. Then his scouter beeped. Bardock's eyes widened. 'TWO POWER LEVELS OVER TWO MILLION?!' he shouted in his mind. 'I-I don't want to get into a fight with these people,' he thought, 'then again, I might get the edge I need over Frieza if I train with them...' The power levels vanished almost as soon as they appeared.

"Was their something else?" Bardock asked, regaining his composure.

"You know that odd feeling that saiyans get, like they're missing something?" Minato asked.

"I've always wondered about that," Bardock admitted, "Why did you change your name to Minato?"

Minato chuckled, "It wasn't my idea. We told Nidaime-sama who we were, and he came up with the idea. My wife Barda changed her name to Uzumaki Kushina, and I changed my name to Namikaze Minato. Anyways, let me tell you a little something,

"Saiyans were born with a special ability that very few know about. This ability allows us to control two different types of energy. When I discovered this, I immediately set out to find a type of energy to master. In my search, I came across an energy known as 'chakra', which utilizes ki, along with physical energy.' " Minato said.

"Can you teach me how to use this 'chakra'?" Bardock asked.

Minato smiled, "Anything for my older brother," he said.
