Saiyan Reborn Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Finding Out Who You Are

Naruto was running through the streets of the village with a mob of civilians and some low level chunin chasing behind him. Now you might be asking yourself why a mob of people would be chasing a child through the streets. Well it would be because today was Naruto's birthday and he had just turned seven years old but not only was it Naruto's birthday it was also the day when the Nine-Tails attacked the village which still left a large number of people angry about all they had lost in the attack.

Now Naruto was by no means a normal child though which was why it was taking them so long to catch him. Naruto wore normal civilian clothes which consisted of a white shirt and blue shorts but what made him different than others was his strange black hair which was spiked out in different directions, his unending stamina which for a child to have was ridiculous because even the ninja in the crowd beginning to tire, but what separated him the most was the brown tail that was currently wrapped around his waist like a belt. "Come on! Am I to fast for you?!" Naruto yelled back as he stuck his tongue out at them which angered the chunin who until now had not used any jutsu on the child "that's it brat this time we'll be sure to catch you and this time the Hokage won't save you!" yelled a chunin who then threw a handful of shuriken at Naruto while the others spat out balls of fire or mud at Naruto.

Naruto hearing what the chunin said was confused 'why wouldn't gramps be able to save me?' Naruto thought and was almost unable to dodge the incoming barrage of shuriken and balls of fire. Unfortunately Naruto was unable to dodge the ball of mud and was hit straight in the chest and was sent sailing into the nearest alley. "What the heck is this" Naruto said out loud as he tried to get up but the mud prevented him from escaping so he was forced to watch as the group got closer and closer to him 'oh great this is not going to end well for me. Where the heck is the old man?' Naruto thought and for a brief second saw an image of a man in an orange Gi who looked a like an older version of himself except he didn't have a tail 'No not now!' thought Naruto as he knew what this was. It was a reoccurring dream that he kept on having about this man sometimes there would be words along with the images and sometimes there wouldn't be but they all had one thing in common the man named Goku was in all of them.

Naruto had at one time asked the Hokage about these reoccurring dreams or visions but when someone who was blonde and was supposed to be able to enter people's mind came in to see him he said that there was nothing wrong as far as he could tell with Naruto. Leaving it at that Naruto never complained about the dreams or visions to the Hokage again since when he did he noticed a lot of worry in his eyes and he did not like doing that to the man who he thought as a grandfather figure.

Of course Naruto was still curious about the visions or dreams but right now was not the time since the mob of people had just reached him "what do you want I've never done anything to you!" Naruto yelled as he continued to struggle but to his surprise the chunin pulled him out of it which Naruto was happy about but before Naruto could do anything he was punched in the face by said chunin "ha nice try demon! You might have the Hokage fooled with your act but we aren't tonight we will kill you!" the chunin yelled as he and the others began to surround Naruto and beat him up. Naruto was crying out in pain when he felt it stop and he looked up weakly as he saw that one of the chunin had hold of his tail. "Now I'm going to take something from you just like you took something from all of us!" the crazy chunin yelled as he held up a kunai ready to cut off Naruto's tail.

"NO! Stop it please!" Naruto yelled but his cries fell on deaf ears as he was forced to watch the man cut off his tail and then everything went dark.

XXXXX Mindscape

"Where am I?" Naruto said out loud as he looked around only to notice that his surroundings looked like a sewer "Great they threw me in the sewer" Naruto sarcastically said as he stood up and started to walk down the sewer path. 'Might as well as try to find my way out' Naruto thought and then quickly spared a look behind him to see that his tail really was gone.

It was not to long until Naruto spotted a doorway farther down which got him excited since being down here was starting to freak him out "Finally a way out of here!" Naruto yelled as he ran to the door but when he looked inside he was surprised to see that it was only a large room with a large cage at the end of it. "What is this?" Naruto said out loud "and why does this place seem familiar!?" Naruto shouted expecting an answer but from what he still didn't know.

"This is your mind boy" a voice said from within the cage.

"Who said that?" Naruto asked as he tried to look inside the cage but couldn't see anything because of how dark it was.

"Don't tell me you don't remember me?" the voice asked as the cage lit up and showed the Nine-Tailed Fox grinning down at Naruto but Naruto wasn't worried about the giant fox in front of him instead he was on the ground clutching his head in pain as he saw images from the meeting between Goku and the fox.

"Kurama?" Naruto said weakly which made Kurama's grin widen.

"So you do know my name that's good for a second I thought I messed up which would have been bad." Kurama said delighted to know that he had done the process correctly.

"Wait hold up what's going on? I only know your name from these visions so could you please tell me what is happening." Naruto said as he sat down hoping that he would get some answers.

"Ah I see so it didn't go as well as it thought then huh? No matter I can still salvage this while you might not understand the memories completely yet I have had time to gain an understanding of them so I will transfer my understanding to you." Kurama said as he stuck his fist out between two of the bars "All you need to do is bump fists with me and you'll understand everything I promise." The fox said waiting to see if the child would take him up on his offer and smiled when he saw Naruto almost immediately bump fists with him.

One minute later Naruto's hand drops back to his side "so do you finally understand everything" Kurama asked as he too brought his fist back.

"Yeah and man is it great to have those memories finally settled. Oh I can't wait to get that strong! But I do have one question that I would like to have your opinion on?" Naruto asked which caused Kurama to have a curious look on his face "Oh and what would that be?"

"So far as Naruto all that's happened is I have been treated like trash and you're the only one that has actually talked to Goku so…"

"So what get to the point" Kurama said not getting at what the kid was trying to say.

"Fine... my point is what do you think of me taking up Goku's name as my own?" Naruto said as he looked at the floor and then to Kurama and then back to the floor.

"Well I didn't know him to well" Kurama said as he looked at the young Saiyan who was looking toward him for guidance "… heh I think he would be honored that you would want to take up his name kid" hearing this the newly named Goku couldn't help but smile "Alright now what are you going to do Goku?" Kurama asked him.

"Well I guess I should wake up and talk to the old man huh." Goku said as he scratched the back of his head and noticed that his body was starting to fade out.

"Fine but if you want to talk just think of what you want to say and I'll hear you alright"

"Yeah you bet Kurama!"

XXXXX Real World

Goku was getting up from the ground as he looked up to see the last mob go down the street probably thinking he was dead but he could already feel his wounds starting to heal and in a few moments he felt good as new in fact he felt stronger than ever. Walking out of the alley very quietly while making sure no one saw him he made his way to the Hokage tower which wasn't that far from where he was. Standing outside he got a smirk on his face as he thought of a way that he might surprise the old man who was undoubtedly sitting at his desk doing paperwork. 'Heh I wonder if this will work' Goku thought as he jumped all the way up to outside the window 'yep totally worked!' Goku thought as he looked through the window only to have to jump back as he saw the Third Hokage looking down at him as he opened the window "Naruto what are you doing out there you could get hurt" Sarutobi said as he ushered the child inside.

"Well there was something I wanted to talk to you about grandpa" Goku said as he stood in the middle of the room with multiple holes still in his clothes.

"Well what is it my boy?" Sarutobi said but then took a closer look at Goku "Naruto what happened to you and where is your tail?" the aged Hokage asked his surrogate grandson worried about what could have happened to him while he was talking to the civilian council who had all but demanded that they must have a meeting stating that it was completely urgent. But when it began from start to finish it was only trivial matters.

"Well actually that's sort of why I'm here you see I was attacked earlier today and they cut off my tail and then they left me for dead" Goku said only to immediately regret it as he could see the Third Hokage barley restrain his anger 'so that's why they wanted a meeting so bad so they could attack Naruto without me there to watch him those bastards!" thought Hiruzen furiously who despite wanting to go over there and kill every civilian in the council knew he needed to calm down since the boy he thought of as a grandson was in the room. "Naruto I will see to it that everyone who participated in your beating is severely punished is there anything else you wanted to tell me?" Sarutobi asked the young boy in front of him.

"Well actually yeah there is I would like to change my name to Goku if that's okay?" Goku asked and noticed the hurt that he saw in his grandfather's eyes "Goku I have no problem changing your name but why now if I may ask?"

"I guess it's because of today or for that matter every day I want to be different I want to be stronger than before and I think this will help me to get a new start." Goku said only for Hiruzen to sit back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh "how I have failed you. You must not think fairly high of me huh?" Hiruzen said as he let out a chuckle but it held no mirth only sadness.

"What are you talking about grandpa without you I probably would have turned out terribly and evil" Goku said as he ran up and sat on his lap "also without you who would have taught me about the Will of Fire!" Goku said as he waved his small arms around.

"Heh how true very well then I'll handle the papers to change your name officially and I'll also take you shopping tomorrow so that we can buy you some new clothes how does sound?"

"Yay that sounds great old man!" Goku said as he got up and jumped down to the ground but without noticing accidently stepped on Sarutobi's very special part "I'll see you tomorrow old man!" Goku said as he ran out the door barely hearing a thud which was Hiruzen hitting the floor as he cried anime tears from being hit in his special area.

'Kurama!' Goku yelled loudly in his mind as he raced through the streets to get to his apartment.

"What do you want kid?" Kurama said annoyed at having to wake up since he was in the middle of taking a nap.

'Tomorrow after shopping I'm going to start practicing I wanted to know if you had any good ideas for what to get.' Goku replied just as he reached his apartment.

"I'm not sure yet but I'm sure we'll find you something good at the store for now just go to sleep your still just a kid and need your sleep." Kurama replied trying to get Goku to go to sleep so he could also go to sleep.

"Okay goodnight Kurama!" Goku said out loud as entered his room and jumped on his bed and put his head on his pillow where he proceeded to pass out for the night.

"Keh yeah goodnight Goku." Kurama said as he to lie down in his cage and went to sleep.

XXXXX Next Day 2:00 p.m.

"Rise and shine brat!" shouted the booming voice of Kurama.

"Ah what time is it?" Goku said as he rolled over only to fall off his bed "ah darn it why me?"

"Because it's funny now get up I can feel the Hokage coming up the stairs" Kurama said now a few seconds later there was a knock heard at the door.

"Nar- crap… Goku are you ready to go shopping?" Sarutobi asked from the other side of the door.

"Yeah I'll be there in a sec gramps just got to finish some things" Goku said as he quickly moved around his apartment to get a shirt and shorts on along with some sandals. After a few minutes of waiting Hiruzen was about to knock on the door again when the door opened "Alright come on lets go old man!" Naruto yelled back as he dashed past the Hokage and down the stairs only for said Hokage to sigh at Goku's actions and disappear in a puff of smoke and to reappear at the bottom of the stairs before Goku could get there "Hey how did you get here so fast. Last I checked I ran past you" Goku said confused not getting how the old man was so fast.

"Haha you're much too young to beat me in a race Goku maybe when you're older" Hiruzen said as he pat him on the head "Now let's get going we have much to do Goku."

XXXXX Ninja Shop 30 Minutes Later

"Hey gramps is this the place you wanted to take me?" Goku asked as he and the third Hokage entered a store that had a lot of things inside of it ranging from clothes to weapons to books on ninja arts. "Yes Goku this is the place and don't worry they won't treat you unfairly here so if you're ever in need of supplies I want you to come here to the Dragon Claw understand?" Hiruzen asked his young companion who nodded to signify he understood.

As they walked further inside Goku noticed that they were walking toward an area with tons of books which caused him to try and sneak away but was he caught by the old man "and where do you think you're going Goku" Hiruzen asked as he gave the boy a friendly smile that said nice try "these books have great knowledge and to become a great fighter it helps to be prepared understand?"

"Yes sir" Goku said as he put his head down in boredom but was relieved when the old man nudged his arm causing him to look up "I want you to take those words to heart Goku but for now you can go over there and pick out some clothes while I select some books for you to read okay?" Hiruzen said as he looked from the books back to where Goku was only to see that the boy had already dashed over to the clothing section 'heh he's still just a kid' Hiruzen thought as he shook his head at Goku's actions and looked back toward the shelves of books and grabbing several extra books on sealing 'hmm these should help him in the future' thought the Hokage.

Meanwhile with Goku it was clear that he was searching for something specific when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder to which Naruto quickly turned around feeling very annoyed that he couldn't find what he wanted "hi my name is Ten-Ten my dad owns this shop is there anything I can help you with?" she asked Goku to which he could only laugh nervously and scratch the back of his head since he wasn't used to talking to other kids around his age "Well actually I was looking for a Gi to wear so that I can practice but it also needs to very durable." Goku said to which the girl frowned at "practice but your still just a kid not even old enough to enter the academy." She said causing Goku to frown himself "yeah so? That's not going to stop me from being the strongest out there! Besides you don't look that much older than me." Goku said as he crossed his arms.

"At least I'm already in the academy!" Ten-Ten yelled heatedly as she crossed her arms too.

"Yeah well just you wait someday I'm going to be stronger than everyone even the Hokages!" Goku claimed confidently but Ten-Ten wasn't impressed "yeah sure whatever. I think we have some Gi over in the back." Ten-Ten said as she led the way to the back of the store.

Over in the back of the store Goku looked and looked but all the Gi Ten-Ten showed him he dismissed saying that it wasn't what he wanted until Ten-Ten started to get fed up with the young Saiyan "What do you mean this one isn't the color you want!" She yelled as she threw another Gi back into the pile.

"I mean that it's not the one I want! If you don't want to help then I'll just find it myself." Goku said as he began rummaging through the pile of clothes. "Fine if you don't want my help then I'll just be going!" Ten-Ten said as left to go back to the register.

'Whatever who needs her I'll find it on my own… hey what's that' Naruto thought as he looked over at a box that wasn't opened "only one way to find out I guess" mumbled as he opened the box only to find that it was full of orange Gi, blue shirts, some blue wrist bands, and by the looks of it there were also some in bigger sizes for when he got older. "Well looks like you just hit the jackpot kid." Kurama said bringing Goku out of his own thoughts 'heh you've got that right Kurama!' Goku replied excitedly as he quickly changed into the smallest pair to find that it fit him perfectly. "Awesome now I just got to find some boots" Goku said as he went to look around the shoe section.

XXXXX A Few Minutes Later

Goku had finally found the boots that he was looking for when he arrived at the cash register to find Hiruzen there with a ton load of books and another man next to Ten-Ten who he guessed was her father "Hey gramps don't you think that's a bit much?" Goku said as he saw him place all of the books on the counter and then brought out a scroll "hey what's that for?" Goku asked.

"Just watch and you'll see." Hiruzen said as he placed his hand on the scroll "Seal!" Hiruzen said and in a puff of smoke all of the books were gone from the counter. Goku was shocked for a second before he realized that it was sort of the same thing like the capsules from where the Goku before him was from except instead of some capsule the object was stored inside a scroll "oh I get it its inside the scroll isn't it?" Goku said which got a smile from the old man "yes you are correct and to take what is out all you need to do is apply chakra. Now enough about that put everything you want on the counter so I can pay for it." Hiruzen said as he watched the price number skyrocket "Why so much for the clothes?" he asked Ten-Ten's father to which he only said that it was because of the material that was used in making that specific Gi making it more durable than most other clothes.

"Very well." Hiruzen said as he sighed in defeat and watched as his wallet became completely empty. "Well Goku I'm afraid that I must get back to the dreaded paperwork I hope you will put all of this to good work" the aged Hokage said as he placed the scroll with all of the books on top of the box of clothing that Goku was holding "of course you bet thanks again old man!"

"Don't worry about it Goku think of it as my way of helping you get your new start okay." Hiruzen said before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Okay well it was nice meeting you Ten-Ten and Ten-Ten's father. Maybe next time we see each other we can spar Ten-Ten!" Goku shouted as he ran out the store as fast as he could and back to the apartment.

XXXXX At Goku's Apartment

Goku had just gotten home when he placed everything down when a slip of paper fell from the scroll it read 'oh Naruto sorry I forgot to tell you I signed you up to join the ninja academy next year so use this year to train and get strong.' "Yes that's so cool starting next year I get to start fighting other kids who are strong and then after that I'll be able to even fight people from other villages!" Goku said as he got a huge grin on his face. "But before that you will be trained by me you got that" Kurama said brining its container back down to earth. "Hmph party pooper" Goku said as he crossed his arms but immediately regretted it as he was brought into his mindscape right in front of Kurama's cage "What was that?" Kurama said as he brought his head down to the ground "Nothing" Goku quickly said. "Damn right! From now on your days will consist of day in and day out tor- I mean training. You will train to use chakra and other things from me and you will use the other Goku's memories so as to learn how to control your Ki you got it? Kurama said waiting to see if he had any questions and sure enough he did. "Why do I need to know how to use chakra if learn how to use Ki?" Goku asked not understanding the purpose of learning both.

"Because by learning both you arsenal in a fight becomes more diverse and allows you to become less predictable in a fight. Now let the training begin!" Yelled Kurama as he and Goku both smirked at each other. Oh how it was going to be a hellish next few years for our young Saiyan.
