I'm back! I know this update seems too soon, but I want to get these rewritten chapters out as soon as possible. Anywho, last chapter I asked if you guys wanted me to have Goku still go by his earth name or stick with his saiyan name. Until I have enough reviews to warrant it, he shall continue to be called Kakarot. Now then, time for the rewritten first chapter. I don't own Naruto or Dragon Ball. I do own OC's unless credit is given.

Temple of Space and Time

Fu couldn't decide what to wear for his visit to the boys. The kids in question had each gotten him an outfit to wear as a gift, and he certainly didn't want to disappoint either of them. He was trying to decide whether he'd wear the ninja uniform Goku got him or the martial arts uniform from Naruto. He also didn't want to change out certain outfit parts. He looked at certain parts of each outfit, then got an idea.

He walked through the temple as he approached Shenron. He still wore his muscle T-shirt, boots, glasses, and scabbard, but he also sported black pants that came from his time branch, some black fingerless gloves from the same spot, and a dark blue trench coat from Konoha. He also had a bag full of scrolls around his torso. Most of the scrolls were on jutsu, but some were martial arts styles from both sides. They were for him and the boys to learn from.

He had studied some beforehand so that he knew which to give the boys each at one point. He saved a few specific ones for emergencies or when they were older. He stood in front of the dragon statue. He placed his hand on a seal at the base of the statue. He had learned that the dragon had a hard time awakening, so he created the seal to fix the problem.

Unlike last time, the dragon's eyes flashed blue. The same moan still filled the temple.

"You look different young Fu." stated the dragon. "I can see the individual outfits the boys got you mixed into your current attire."

"I just couldn't disappoint them." said Fu. "So I told each of them that I'd wear what I could. This is the most appealing outcome that will make both happy."

"You've grown attached to the boys." Fu rubbed the back of his head.

"Well it just feels good to be Uncle Fu." The dragon statue formed one of his tears. Once again the pool glowed upon contact from the tear. A split image of the boys appeared on the surface of the water. Fu instinctively looked to Naruto first.

Son Naruto was six right now. He wore a white T-shirt, blue gi pants, a white belt, and black shoes. He also wore a fake mustache he made to play around with Grandpa Gohan. Right now he was practicing with the Power Poll. Fu had developed a strong connection to the boy, having not really known his parents either.

Grandpa Gohan came out of the hut.

"Naruto!" shouted Gohan. "Come inside and get ready. Uncle Fu could be here any minute." Naruto looked at Grandpa Gohan with a smile as he rushed into the hut. Fu turned his attention to Kakarot.

Goku Toyotomi was the nine right now. He was wearing a burnt orange T-shirt, black pants, black wristbands, and black sandals. He was having a friend over. Rock Lee was usually one of the strange kids, but Goku wasn't one to judge a book by its cover, or the first half. They were both doing push ups to the extreme.

Lee was counting of course.

"107, 108, 109, 110!" shouted Lee as he fell to the ground.

"115, 116, 117, 118, 119... What comes after 119?" asked Goku as he held himself up.

"120."

"Thanks! 120." Goku stopped at 120, which was the limit they set themselves. Truth be told, he could go to 150 easily, he just wanted to help Lee get stronger. Then again, the monkey boy couldn't count past 120. He looked over to his friend.

Lee looked over at him. The boy knew he was getting stronger. He just didn't know if he was getting stronger than his friend. He really wanted to know the difference. He decided it was finally time.

"Goku!" started Lee. "Spar with me!" Goku's face lit up at the prospect of a fight.

"Later." said a voice from behind them. Hiruzen walked out of the Hokage building. He wasn't planning on resuming his roll as the Hokage, but that all changed when Fu swapped Naruto for Goku. He felt that if a man went to great lengths to try to give a child from his village a better life, then he needed to do something about the way the village worked. "For now, Goku needs to get to his studies if he wants to be a great ninja."

"Aww!" whined Goku.

"Need I remind you that today is a special training day?" The saiyan shot up like a rocket.

"I completely forgot! See ya later Lee! We'll spar tomorrow for sure!" Lee followed Goku's rise.

"I will train for that day!" shouted Lee. Lee ran for home.

"Just don't forget to eat!" Goku followed Hiruzen into the building. Special training meant that it was one of the days Fu would most likely show up. Hiruzen had his suspicions about Fu, but that changed after they actually got to talk for a bit. He saw Fu as a young man who only wanted to see people happy, even at the expense of his own happiness.

Fu watched them walk into the building. He had a routine of switching who he visited first. The first time he visited Naruto first then Goku, and he switched it from there on. His recent visit was to Naruto first. That meant he would visit Goku first today.

"Be back soon." said Fu as he fazed into the time branch. The dragon watched the events from the pool.

Time Branch 149, Hokage Mansion, Konohagakure

Goku had just finished his studies and was training with Grandpa Hiruzen on the roof of the Hokage mansion. His tail wagged in the air as he prepared for their next clash. He got in his stance before he launched himself at Hiruzen. They exchanged blows for a bit, smiles on their faces as they got faster and faster.

Hiruzen was launched back by Goku's fist, but he caught himself and threw some shuriken. Goku pulled out a kunai and deflected them. One of the shuriken exploded on contact. Goku threw the kunai at Hiruzen, but it was a clone.

"You're Taijutsu and accuracy are exceptional, but how are your Ninjutsu coming along?" asked Hiruzen as he made some hand signs. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" He shot a ball of fire at Goku. The boy smiled as he made some hand signs of his own.

The fire ball connected with it's target. When the smoke cleared, however, Goku was nowhere to be found. Hiruzen looked for the monkey boy, but could not find him. Did he go too far?

The boy wasn't of this world. Could it be possible that chakra was his weakness? All thoughts came to a halt when he heard a battle cry behind him.

"Fire Style: Twin Fireball Jutsu!" shouted a voice behind him. He turned around to find two huge fireballs flying towards him. All he could do was brace for impact as the attack hit its mark. He got up as he looked for the source. He found two of Goku laughing while laying on their backs.

"How did you do that!?" shouted Hiruzen in surprise. "That was a powerful jutsu!"

"It's easier with two of me." answered Goku.

"That's still a powerful jutsu even with just one fireball!"

"It's as easy as your clone jutsu." Hiruzen held a puzzled look on his face. His clone jutsu? What did Kakarot mean by that? He looked bellow the children.

They both had shadows.

"Shadow clones!"

"Yep."

"How did... When did...Explain!"

"Remember when I dared you to get serious but you still held back?" Hiruzen nodded. "Well I saw the hand signs you used for the jutsu. After some practice, I got it down pat." Hiruzen was shocked.

Goku truly was a prodigy. Their conversation was cut off by clapping. They looked around until they found the origin of the sound. They saw Fu sitting on the railing with a smile on his face.

"Nice job Goku!" shouted Fu. "You might have to teach me today."

"Uncle Fu!" The boy ran to hug Fu, almost toppling him.

"Careful little tyke! We're on a roof ya know!"

"Sorry." Hiruzen let out a cough.

"Goku." said Hiruzen. "Why don't you go get ready? I have to speak with Uncle Fu for a bit."

"Ok!" Goku ran off into the mansion. Hiruzen began his check when the boy disappeared.

"How's Naruto?" asked Hiruzen.

"He's doing great." answered Fu with a smile. "Gohan's been taking good care of him. They live alone on a mountain but he takes Naruto into town every now and then. He's also been training him martial arts. He won't be training him to be a ninja, but I'll be there to train him to use his Chakra."

"Good to hear." They stopped conversating as Goku arrived. He had put on some goggles and a pair of orange gloves. He carried a bag of ninja tools that he made for this occasion. He walked over to Fu, ready to begin their training.

"Same place as last time?" asked Goku as he stretched.

"Smart as ever kid." answered Fu as he jogged in place. "Do good enough and I'll teach ya something neat."

"You're on!" They got in a running stance, then took off across the village. They hoped along the rooftops, Fu in the lead.

He suddenly saw Goku go flying ahead of him. He never taught Goku to fly. He realized that the boy had a shadow clone launch him forward. That was actually clever, except the boy probably hadn't thought about what to do once he was in the air.

"CRAP!" shouted Goku, proving Fu right. He kept falling until he ran into a wall. He slid down the wall before he plopped onto another roof. Fu stopped to check on the boy.

"You alright?" asked Fu.

"Yeah." answered Goku. "I'm alright Uncle Fu."

"That was clever kid. I'll let you rest a bit before we start again."

"It'll be fine. I can't wait to learn something new."

"You still haven't..." He stopped as he sensed Kakarot's energy. He chuckled as he looked at the boy. "Seriously, you're good."

"I have the best teachers." Goku disappeared in a puff of smoke. He had sent ahead a shadow clone to distract Fu, then he ran for the designated location. He stood on a giant stone version of Grandpa Hiruzen's head as he waited for Fu.

"Not bad kid." said Fu. Goku turned around, but took a step back as he saw Fu floating in the air. His face still held shock as Fu landed.

"How did..." started Goku as he pointed at his adopted uncle.

"That is what I'll teach you today." interrupted Fu. "It's as easy in concept as the ki blast, but still fairly complicated to put to use. You ready?"

"Yes Uncle Fu." The man smiled as he began the lecture.

"Alright, the trick is to feel the ki deep in your stomach. Once you have it, you need to send it to your feet. How much you need depends on how big you are and how heavy you feel. It'll take some time to master, even for you. You'll have a great advantage if you can do it though."

With Fu's instructions, Goku searched for the ki in his stomach. He pushed what he found down to his feet. He tried all he could to get it to his feet. He started to lift off. He was suddenly thrust into the sky.

He went higher than he intended and he couldn't hold on to the power. He stopped, before he fell from the sky.

"Why the crap does this always happen to me!?" He tried to get the feeling back as he descended further and further. He stopped mid air, but frowned as Fu held his leg. They reached the ground. Goku fought his way out of Fu's grasp.

"Don't be so upset!" reassured Fu. "You did great. It's honestly a good sign that you have a lot of potential if you actually over do that. You just need to learn control. Let's keep going."

They continued for a bit. Goku would sometimes go skyrocketing, but he was getting better. He'd over do, under do, and almost have it but he never fully grasped it. He sat on the ground in defeat. Fu sat next to him as he rubbed his tail.

"Hey! Cheer up sport! I told you it's hard, and nothing that's worth doing is ever easy. Why don't we go get some grub?" Goku perked up. He jumped and clicked his heels.

"HECK YEAH!" shouted Goku as he ran for his favorite spot. Ichiraku Ramen. He walked through the village with Fu. He tried not to look at some of the people.

He wasn't exactly the most popular kid. Some of the villagers had a thing against him. They seemed to think he was a freak. He thought that it was either because of his tail, the fact that he hangs around the 'purple stranger,' or both. Fu noticed his discomfort.

He stared down some villagers that were judging them. They looked away and walked off. He kneeled to Goku.

"Don't be so down champ." said Fu.

"I don't understand why they hate me." sighed Goku.

"They don't hate you little buddy, or at least they shouldn't. You've given them no reason to hate you. I think their just scared."

"That's supposed to be better how?"

"People are just scared of what they don't understand. They just can't understand why you're so awesome." Goku smiled. Fu sniffed, a smile forming on his face. "I smell ramen."

Goku ran as those words left his lips.

"Ichiraku's!" shouted the monkey boy as he took a seat.

"Well if it isn't my favorite customer!" said a man in the small restaurant. "How's the monkey king doing?" Goku frowned at that title.

"I'M NOT A MONKEY!" shouted Goku in rage.

"I don't know buddy." said Fu. "You sure do act like one."

"KNOCK IT OFF!" The two men laughed for a bit. They stopped laughing and the man, Mr. Ichiraku, got some ramen for the two customers. He gave one medium bowl to Fu and nine large bowls to Goku.

"ITADAKIMASU!" shouted Goku before he dug into the first bowl. He scarfed the ramen down like it was going out of stock. As he went through his third bowl, Fu was halfway through his bowl. Goku finished before his uncle, who was only a third of the way through his one bowl. Goku hopped down from the chair.

"Thank you for the food." said Goku as he entered a respectful bow.

"No problem kid." sighed Mr. Ichiraku. "Just warn me next time you swing by. Then I can better prepare for the rest of the day." Goku laughed as Fu finished and put the yen on the counter. He stood up, the time of day obvious.

"We better get you home Goku." said Fu.

"Aww!" pouted Goku. "But I still need to master flying."

"You can do that anytime. Unfortunately for me, I've got somewhere to be or else I'd live here in this nice village. Plus if I don't get you home Grandpa Hiruzen will get mad." Goku gulped. He knew it was a bad idea to get Grandpa mad.

They headed off for Goku's apartment. The boy waved to all his neighbors as they made their way home. Goku was fairly loved by the people at the apartments. He was a nice kid who loved to help when he could. They soon reached the apartment.

Goku opened the door as he walked into the building.

"Well little tyke, I guess this is goodbye for now." said Fu. "See ya later." The man hovered in the air as he prepared to leave.

"Bye Uncle Fu!" shouted Goku as Fu took off. Once he disappeared, Goku jumped to the roof to resume flight training. He went through the process. He had it for a split second.

Then he went sideways, crashing into a tree.

"Darn it." groaned Goku as he slid down the tree.

Time Branch 147, Gohan's Hut, Mt. Pazao

Naruto sat outside. It had been hours since he got ready, and he really wanted to show Uncle Fu the new technique he came up with. He spent a whole month working on it. He sighed in impatience.

"Where is he?" asked Naruto out loud. He heard rustling nearby. He hoped that it was Uncle Fu. He ran over as he heard the trap he placed spring. He had set the trap so he could prank his adopted Uncle.

He didn't do them often, but when he did it always put a smile on Uncle Fu's face. The same didn't go for Grandpa Gohan. He never got in any real trouble because the pranks were light and harmless. He arrived to see the chicken running from his cut out log.

"Crap!" shouted Naruto in disappointment. "I need to raise the weight limit."

"Might also help if you added a pie to fling." said a voice.

"Yeah, that'll work!" Naruto paused. He pulled out a kunai and threw it in the direction of the voice. He looked in horror as the man he hit was Uncle Fu. He fell to the ground. He screamed.

"Uncle Fu!" shouted Naruto as he ran over to Fu. When he got there, he reached for Fu's hand. Fu turned into a puff of smoke, however, and a lot stood in his place. Naruto's eyes widened as he jumped back in fear.

"What the heck!" shouted Naruto. He turned to find a pie in his face.

"Got ya didn't I?" laughed Fu. He jumped back as Naruto threw a punch. Naruto removed the pie from his face as Fu continued to laugh.

"Don't scare me like that! How did you even do that!?"

"All in good time Naruto. How's the fox doing?"

"He's still grumpy, but we've come to an understanding. I think he's my friend, but he probably doesn't feel the same. He's one stubborn dog." Naruto stopped for a moment. "Yeah I know foxes aren't exactly dogs but what are you gonna do about it!?"

"Talking to it out loud instead of in your head? Grandpa Gohan must think you're crazy." Naruto looked over to him.

"Never mind that! I've got something cool I wanna show ya! Come on!" Fu followed Naruto to an open area. Naruto stood in the middle of it.

He charged his Ki as he held up his hand. An orange sphere appeared, swirling in his hand. He looked over to Fu.

"This is all chakra." said Naruto as he pushed some more chakra into the sphere. It swirled orange and white energy. He pulled it to the side and opened his eyes as he stomped on the ground. Nine disks hopped in the air.

"Nine Tail Blitz!" shouted Naruto as he pushed the sphere forward. Nine beams sprouted from the orb and chased the disks. Some disks shattered while others were turned to ash. He dropped his arm as he huffed and puffed before turning to Fu.

"I can do different increments of tails, but I wanted to show off." said Naruto as he placed his arms behind his head. Fu clapped as he approached the boy.

"Nice work kid!" approved Fu. "You may need to work on your stamina more if you want to perfect that move, but it was incredible all the same. Did the Nine Tails help you with that one?"

"Heck no! I just named it after him to try and impress him. Didn't work out so well as he ranted about using his title without the chakra. I think he's warming up to me since he stopped calling me stupid and started calling me his jailer. I don't like the title but that only made him do it more."

"You gotta give it time. Not all people change in one day. He'll come around at some point. I mean, he kinda has to since you're basically stuck with each other." Naruto smilled.

"What am I gonna learn today?"

"You basically threw part of my schedule out the window. You've already created your own chakra technique based off of ki principles. I guess we'll just have to keep going. Let's do substitution jutsu." Naruto bowed as the lesson began.

"This jutsu is fairly easy, but it requires that you have an object on or nearby you at all times." continued Fu. "All you have to do is sense the chakra of the object you want to replace yourself with, and..." He suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke. The cut out log Naruto made stood in his place. He jumped from a tree behind Naruto.

"You swap places." finished Fu as Naruto jumped in fear. "This jutsu is best used when an attack is about to hit. It will look like the attack connected before they realize they hit the substitute. Just don't use something that you'll regret. Also, the jutsu doesn't allow you to swap with people."

Naruto nodded as he looked over to the log. He looked for it's chakra, then smirked. Suddenly, Fu kicked him square in the jaw.

There was a puff of smoke. Instead of the log, however, a rock was in its place. A hard, heavy rock.

"YOWCH!" shouted Fu as he grabbed his foot. Naruto walked from in between the trees.

"I'm sorry!" shouted Naruto. "I thought I had the log."

"It's okay. You just need to learn which chakra is which. Other than that, you did well." Naruto smiled. He got an idea.

"Since I completed the lesson in such a short time, why don't we spar?" suggested Naruto.

"Sounds good." They got into their stances. The match began, a few animals running at the sound of combat. They fought for hours, only stopping when they heard Grandpa Gohan call them for dinner. They raced to the hut, Naruto quickly taking the lead.

"Nice to see you Fu." greeted Gohan as the two arrived.

"Nice to see you too Gohan." replied Fu. They began to eat, Naruto eating almost as much as Goku. The boy finished his ramen quickly and ran into the forest. He grabbed a mat as he went out. Fu looked at Gohan.

"He always goes out after dinner to talk to his imaginary friend." said Gohan as if he knew what Fu was gonna ask. "I know kids have imaginary friends, but Naruto is starting to get ridiculous. I think I need to tell him that his friend isn't real."

"Come on Gohan, lighten up." argued Fu. "It'll be over soon, plus it's kinda funny to watch him talk about his friend. It's just a way for him to have fun. You don't have to worry."

"If you say so Fu." Fu still hadn't told Gohan about the Nine Tails. He feared that Gohan would try to remove it and seal it away in a Mafuba Jar. That would kill Naruto, obviously. He decided to let the imaginary friend thing continue for a while.

Somewhere in the forest, Naruto meditated. He never liked meditating until he started talking to Kurama, the Nine Tailed Beast. He really liked the giant fuzzy fox, even if he was grumpy. The fox really didn't like being called fuzzy. He smacked Naruto across the mindscape in retaliation.

"Don't call me fuzzy!" roared Kurama. Naruto stood up.

"Why do you have to hit me so much!?" shouted Naruto.

"That time you deserved it. I told you not to call me fuzzy ten fricken times!"

"Well excuse me if it's true."

"Just leave Brat." Kurama turned his back to Naruto.

"What's wrong? Why do you hate me?"

"Every time I look at you, it reminds me of that darn village with the darn Hokage and his darn seal. I hate them! I HATE THEM ALL! I WANT TO JUST GET RID OF THEM! PERMANENTLY!"

"What did they do to you that was so wrong?"

"They called me a demon. They sealed me within stupid humans. They keep me locked away. I can't even breathe here. I WISH THEY'D ALL JUST DIE!"

Naruto put a hand on one of Kurama's tails.

"Hate isn't the answer. Why can't you just move on? I don't want to be your enemy. I want to be your friend. It's time to..."

Naruto didn't get to finish his sentence as he was knocked away by the beasts tail. Kurama stomped down on him, keeping his torso free from his paw.

"DON'T YOU TELL ME TO MOVE ON!" roared the beast. "WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE!? YOU'RE ONE OF THEM! THE STUPID HUMANS WHO LOCKED ME IN HERE! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOUR ANY DIFFERENT FROM THEM!?"

"BECAUSE I'M YOUR FRIEND!" shouted Naruto. "I WON'T LET MY FRIEND FALL INTO HATRED! YOU'RE TO IMPORTANT TO ME!"

as Naruto finished that last word, Kurama's paw was sent flying off of him. Naruto stood up.

"Please stop." continued Naruto. A tear rolled down his face. "It hurts to see a friend go through such pain. Please." Kurama was silent.

"Who could ever be friends with a demon." sighed Kurama.

"You're not a demon."

"If I'm not a demon or a power source, then what am I too you." Naruto looked the beast in the eyes. Kurama saw the tears flooding Naruto's face. He never saw someone look at him such a way. Not with such care.

"Didn't you hear me!? You're my friend!" cried Naruto. "Don't you ever forget that!" The whole mindscape was silent. A single tear rolled down the beasts cheek.

"Are you crying?" asked Naruto. Kurama wiped his eyes with one of his tails.

"No Brat!" denied Kurama. Naruto made note of the fox's nickname change. "You just... spat in my eye." Naruto smiled.

"Let's just talk about it Kurama." Naruto crosses his legs as he sat in the water. Kurama sat like an animal to no one's surprise.

"Thanks, Naruto."

Fu came to check on Naruto. He knew the Nine Tails could be extremely rough on people. Saying that was a complete understatement. He witnessed first hand how harsh the beast was. He suddenly saw a small continuous glow.

When he reached the area, he was stunned by what he saw. He saw Naruto levitating above a rock. He was golden with the exception of some black markings that ran across his outfit. He started to turn back as he slowly descended on to the rock. He opened his eyes and turned to Fu.

"Uncle Fu?" asked Naruto.

"What did you just do Naruto?" asked Fu.

"I had a talk with Kurama. He feels a lot better. We both agree that it's unfair for my friend to be trapped."

"Let's talk about this later Naruto. I have to leave. This time I'll come back real soon. You have to go back home." After a bit, which Naruto was probably using that bit to ask Kurama his opinion, Naruto agreed.

They arrived back home. Naruto bid Fu goodbye. The next day, Naruto was standing in the clearing. He was in a state of peace. He opened his eyes.

"It's time to work on our attack." stated Naruto.

'I still think Vengeance Barrage sounds pretty good.' suggested Kurama from the mindscape.

"We'll cross the name bridge when we get there."

'Fair enough.' Naruto stomped his foot. Three targets popped out. He held his hand in the air. This time he and Kurama put energy into the attack.

"Nine Tail Blitz!" shouted Naruto as he thrust his hand forward.

Temple of Time and Space

Fu was still taking his time getting back. Shenron saw the pool begin to glow. He knew he couldn't ignore this any longer. He let the image change. The image changed to large yellow eyes.

"Mighty Shenron." said the booming voice.

"Supreme Kai of Space." responded Shenron. "Is something the matter?"

"There has been a disturbance in time and Space. It could be an attempt to create a convergence."

"I assure you that I have everything under control. You need not worry. I have one of my associates looking into it."

"Since when do you have subordinates?"

"He's a friend. I put high trust in his success. If you'll excuse me, I need some rest." He switched the image before the Supreme Kai could say anything. Fu returned from the trip.

"They grow up so fast." sighed Fu.

"Naruto is experiencing a power he shouldn't have access to yet." said Shenron. "It may be a problem."

"His power level when I first met him was too small for the world. He'll need it if he's to go up against the big players like Vegeta and Frieza since he doesn't have the zenkai boost. Plus he's not from that world. He needs that power. Besides, he'll need the time to master it and I don't think he's gonna learn that power right off the bat. They need to form that level of trust and the situation needs to be dire."

"I trust your judgment Fu. It's time to rest." Fu gave a respectful bow, then left for his temple room. Shenron replayed the moment Fu was talking to Goku.

"Unfortunately for me, I've got somewhere to be or else I'd live here in this nice village." said Fu in the image.

"If you wish it young Fu," said Shenron, "then you shall receive." The puddle dissipated as the statue's eyes turned green.

That's rewritten chapter 1 out of the way. I had to bold a lot of the words in this chapter and fix many of the sentences. Again, not much changes here, save for some added words and commas. Remember to leave a review down below, and I'll respond as soon as possible. This is Caliban, signing out.
