Back for more. Here's chapter 2 of this story, now there are going to be some timeskips in the next few chapters. By that I mean around the next few chapters. Right on, let's do this. Also, some clarification. Thanks to RinneItachi for pointing out the rage and power thing. I suppose direct was the wrong word to use to describe Broly. But remember, his rage reached a point where it caused his power to increase significantly and when it kept going, he inevitably lost all control. I mean, he pretty much lost control when he went into his Wrathful state and Super Saiyan and Legendary Super Saiyan are tens of times more powerful. But yeah, angrier he gets, more he unconsciously taps into his full potential and the more control he loses. Given that the Broly is this story, while powerful already, will not be subjected to the same training as the one in the movie, so he will be noticeably weaker.
...
One month later...
"We've received word about an interesting turn of events in Konoha."
"Out with it."
"Yes, Lord Raikage. It seems that they've received a visitor from the stars as well. He's a young boy with undeterminable power, according to our sources, unlike anything we've ever seen."
"How's that?"
"Well, it appears the cause of the most recent attack on Konoha was caused by this boy. Reports described him as a bijuu powerhouse. He's likely to rival the nanabi in terms of raw power."
"So? He may be a threat in the future, but we have our own weapon to combat him. Our own alien. How's Goku?"
"In the orphanage, Lord Raikage. And like you've requested, no one there is aware of his heritage, though they do question the tail."
"Perhaps we should remove it if he's going to blend in with everyone else."
"Perhaps we can get one of our more skilled shinobi to adopt him? If Konoha does indeed have another of his species, who is five years old, we should begin training as early as possible."
"Who would you recommend?"
"Yugito Nii. She may not of age, but she is 14 years old. And I believe she is capable of training the young boy. She has recently finished her jinchuriki training with Lord B, if anyone can train him, it's her."
"She may be an ideal candidate but she's still only 14, not to mention she has neither the resources or the time. We'll leave Goku in the care of the orphanage until he reaches the age of 3, by then Yugito will have amassed enough resources from her missions and I will grant her a maternity leave so she can watch over him until they get used to each other."
"Yes, Lord Raikage."
"Get Yugito in here, now."
...
"Alright Broly." Kushina poured the rest of the ramen noodles into his bowl, or should she say pot. The kid was a messy eater and he definitely enjoyed her cooking that much was true.
'Old man Hokage wasn't lying when he said Broly could eat a horse. I'm just glad Minato left this money for us, that's one less thing I have to worry about.'
Kushina paused for a second when she thought of Minato. It had only been a little over a month since his death and thankfully she's had Broly and Naruto to keep her distracted, but her heart still ached for his touch.
Broly practically salivated when he saw the big bowl of ramen his mom made for him. She was really nice to him, she made sure he got new clothes. A pair of blue shorts with a mesh shirt and gray shirt to wear over that, as well as a pair of sandals. As for his tail, well that was cut off a few weeks into his new life.
Broly had made the mistake of looking into the moon while outside the village. He was with Kushina and Naruto in the outskirts of the village when he transformed.
...
"What the hell?!" Kushina screamed. She bore witness as Broly began to growl and roar. His eyes turned to a blood red and fur grew all over his body.
Kushina jumped back several feet and watched in horror as the Kyuubi's attack replayed in her mind. That bastard Uchiha that ripped him out of the seal and set him to wreak havoc across the village. It was her duty to prevent that, and she failed.
The redhead made a handsign and a solid clone appeared in a cloud of smoke. She didn't waste anytime in handing her Naruto. "Get him home." The clone nodded and hurried back to their home. Kushina turned to what was once Broly.
What stood in his place was a hundred foot gargantuan ape. It's massive size made the ground shake whenever he took a step.
"Broly!" Kushina called out to him.
The giant beast turned its head down he seemed to recognize her for a few seconds before turning away and opening his massive snout. It was lined with unbelievably sharp teeth. He pounded his chest several times, each time it created a small shockwave.
Kushina was at a loss for words, she didn't know how to react. Well, there was one way. She flared her chakra until it reached a certain point. It was an emergency flare, the sensor shinobi would catch wind and alert the rest of the village's forces. Until then, she had to hold Broly off on her own.
Any possible thoughts were promptly thrown out the window when she saw something terrifying. Kushina's mouth hung open when she saw Broly do the impossible, he shot a massive beam of energy from his maw. It wasn't aimed at the village, thank god for that. She couldn't afford to let that destructive attack hit it, it'd probably destroy the entirety of Konoha.
"No!" Kushina balled her hands into fists. She instantly unleashed every single chakra chain she could muster. They were more taxing than normal, but she didn't care. She needed to stop Broly before he could do any serious damage.
Kushina's famous Adamantine Sealing Chains all wrapped around Broly. He was around the same size as the kyuubi so she didn't have a problem getting Broly. The moment the chains got him they began to siphon off his energy in the hopes that the drain would revert him to normal.
Raw green energy surrounded the chains and Broly was immobilized for the time being. His power began to rise even higher in an attempt to overload the chains and break free. Kushina struggled with all her might to hold him in place. He definitely had bijuu-level power, that much was true.
Her violet eyes widened when she saw him look down at her. His red eyes glowed even brighter and he opened his mouth. Kushina jumped back to avoid the stream of fire that melted the ground he aimed it at. 'That would've killed me! Oh... after this is over, I'm gonna have to take a look at-' She jumped aside again to avoid another stream of fire.
Broly roared one last time and snapped the chains around him. He took a step forward and tried to crush his adoptive mother under his feet. However, with each step he took, she jumped away. Each unsuccessful stomp made him even angrier.
Kushina stopped next to a big pond and went through several hand seals, "Water Release: Giant Waterfall!" The water from the pond was suddenly redirected up through the air and above Broly, she aimed it down at her son in the hopes it would at least stun him.
Broly roared as water dropped onto him. Some got in his mouth and caused him to cough, the rest simply got his fur wet.
"No way! That was an A-rank jutsu! Guess that was stupid to do." Kushina thought of other techniques that could either restrain him or stop him.
Several figures landed on the ground next to her. To her immediate relief, it was the Hokage, Kakashi, Itachi, and several more ANBU.
"Old man 'kage!" Kushina couldn't be happier to see her leader.
"Kushina! What is this beast?!" Sarutobi pointed at the massive ape.
"It's Broly!"
"What?!" Even Kakashi and Itachi were caught off guard by the answer. "How?!"
"I don't know! We were walking around when all of a sudden he started turning into that thing!"
"Can you think of anything that might've caused it?"
"Well... now that you mention it," It struck Kushina like a ton of bricks. "The moon! He was looking at the moon when he started changing."
'We can't destroy the moon.' Sarutobi thought to himself. "Itachi, I know this is a lot to ask, but can you calm him down with your sharingan?"
"I can try, Lord Hokage." Itachi went from a five year old child to the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. His mind began calculating how he could get close enough to the beast. "I'll need a distraction."
"Done." Kushina summoned her chains once more. "I was able to hold him still for a few minutes with my chains. That'll give you plenty of time to cast a genjutsu on him and put him to sleep."
Itachi nodded and used Broly's arm to run up to his face. He activated his dojutsu and stared into his eyes. "Sleep my friend."
Broly did calm down, but only for a moment. Itachi saw this and knew that anything less than a full power genjutsu would be useless. He pushed as much chakra as he could into his eyes and tried once again to put Broly to sleep.
Everyone saw Broly stand in confusion for several moments. Their relief turned to shock when Broly snapped out of it a minute later. Itachi jumped down to Sarutobi and held his right eye, it was bleeding profusely from over exertion. "I'm sorry, Lord Hokage. Even my most powerful genjutsu was only able to confuse him."
"That's alright, my boy. You tried and now we know that normal sharingan aren't effective. Perhaps the mangekyo. Boar, Tiger, Bear, on me. We're going to provide a diversion while Itachi, Kushina and Kakashi take him from behind.
Kushina couldn't help but snigger in her mind. 'Hehe, we're gonna take him from behind.'
They all watched as Broly broke through the chains once more. He aimed his mouth at them and released a giant beam of energy. Each of the shinobi got out of the way before the attack could land. Unfortunately, they couldn't escape the shockwave. It sent them flying. The ANBU were slammed into the surrounding trees. Kushina was thrown into the pond. Sarutobi, Kakashi and Itachi were the only ones to land gracefully.
"Now!" Sarutobi shouted. The others picked themselves up and ran into position.
Broly stomped around trying to kill the tiny humans. They were irritating him with their attempts to stop him. He heard noises behind him and swung his tail to smack Kakashi away.
'Damn tail.' Kakashi thought. 'We should cut it off.'
"It appears he can control that tail like another arm. Looks almost as strong as well." Itachi spoke aloud. Sarutobi heard this and created a few shadow clones to aid them. Itachi followed suit. The increased numbers were cut down a couple due to the tail slamming into them with the force of a running rhino.
The ANBU maintained their distance while shooting at Broly with long range jutsu. Whenever he shifted his attention to the three behind him, they temporarily increased their chakra input for their techniques to increase their power in order to recapture his attention.
Kakashi stepped back and squashed his chakra as low as possible. If he was going to pull this off, he needed to sneak up on the mad titan.
Sarutobi saw his intention and summoned Enma once more. "Hiruzen. What do you need me for this time?"
"That." He simply pointed.
"That's not something you see everyday. Is Iwa attacking? That looks like Son Goku."
"No, that's young Broly. Apparently, part of his biology allows him to transform into a giant ape. His power has increased several fold."
"And what are we gonna do about it?"
"Kakashi intends to remove the tail to reduce the number of appendages. It's our job to distract him along with the others."
"Say no more." Enma shifted to his adamantine staff form and Sarutobi picked him up. The lifelong friends flanked Broly and joined the others in the front while Itachi remained behind him.
"Extend!" Sarutobi aimed his staff at Broly's chest and used Enma to push the mighty beast back.
Broly certainly wasn't expecting that and was caught off guard. He felt himself get pushed back and even fell on his back. Whatever it was, he got even angrier. If that was possible.
Broly pounded on his chest several more times. He was going to crush these ants. No more. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. It confused the shinobi below him. Suddenly, bright green light washed over everything surrounding them, it even reached the other side of the village.
A giant sphere of pure energy was coalescing in front of his mouth. It grew larger and larger with every passing moment.
'We're gonna die.' Was all Kushina could think.
'Kakashi my boy, whatever you're going to do, do it now!' Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as impending doom approached. He severely doubted their ability to outrun whatever explosion Broly was going to cause.
Itachi kept his composure but on the inside, he was having trouble accepting the fact that he was going to die. But unless his kage ordered him to do something, he would not act.
Broly roared one last time as he aimed the giant ball at them. His attack stalled for a few seconds. Broly roared in pain and it detonated in his face, sending everyone back even further than the first shockwave. Everybody was knocked unconscious.
Broly's body shrunk until he reached his normal size and he fell asleep from exhaustion. Standing over him was Kakashi, another Chidori in his hand. He briefly considered killing Broly but decided not to. He let his attack fade into nothing and waited for reinforcements.
...
The council wanted Broly's head after that incident. Well, more the elders and the civilian council. The shinobi council elected to have Hiashi conduct a thorough examination of Broly with his byakugan. What he found, shocked the council, likely not for the last time either.
Broly didn't have the natural chakra pathways and tenketsu that normal shinobi and even civilians possessed. In its place was a massive well of energy in his stomach area. Hiashi was nearly blinded when he stared into its depths.
As for the rest of his Saiyan physiology, Hiashi noted the adrenal glands were far more developed. This allowed the saiyan to reach higher levels of power if pushed far enough. When examining the severed tail, he saw what appeared to be strange 'glands', if he had to put a word on it, they didn't exist anywhere else in Broly's body.
If this was indeed the cause of Broly's transformation, then by cutting it off, they cut off his ability to transform into the towering behemoth from the night before. While potentially useful as a surprise attack to decimate enemy forces during a battle or war, they couldn't control him.
"This boy is dangerous." Danzo spoke for the first time that meeting. After the Hokage was cleared from the hospital, the meeting was called. "If he is to control his power, then perhaps adoption was not the course we should have taken."
"What do you propose, Danzo?" Shikaku sat back in his chair, arms crossed behind his head. He already knew that the elder wanted Broly for himself. His own personal guard or slave.
"We need the boy trained, effectively and quickly. Itachi is proof that even young children are as capable as an adult. I believe Broly would best be cared for under me."
"I disagree." Inoichi said. "Last night was an isolated incident. I combed deeper through Broly's mind. According to his instincts, the transformation we saw is indeed only capable of happening with a tail. That's not all, I have reason to believe that when pushed even further, he may be capable of transforming yet again, though to what I don't know."
"Can he control it?" Choza asked what everyone was thinking.
"I don't think he can in his current state, but perhaps when he's older and has a full grasp of his abilities then he may be able to control it." Inoichi elaborated.
"And you're willing to leave this to chance?" Homura asked.
"No, I leave this to him and whoever is willing to train him."
"Without knowledge of what he's capable of, we can only train him in taijutsu, stealth, and a few other select topics." Sarutobi sighed. "I'll ask Guy about this. He's our village's taijutsu master, if anyone can train him, it's Guy. Meeting adjourned for today."
...
Kushina sighed. Thankfully, Broly's execution was off the table. They were lucky Broly was acting on instinct and not in control. He was easy to trick and that was their advantage. When Inoichi told her after the meeting that it wouldn't happen again with his tail gone, she was glad. Not just for the safety of Naruto and Broly, but for Broly's sanity. That type of power could probably drive him insane one day.
"Just glad that's over and done with." Kushina muttered. She joined Broly at the table and began to eat. They were almost done when there was a knock at the door. Kushina stood up and dusted herself off. The redhead opened the door and was pleasantly surprised to see Itachi. "Itachi? Please come in. Do you want ramen? Mikoto would kill me if I let you leave on an empty stomach."
"I'm okay, Miss Kushina. I wanted to see if Broly could come out and play."
"Oh really!" Kushina beamed. She was ecstatic to see that Itachi took an interest in her son. He could have friends his own age, and even better was the fact that it was her best friend's son too. "Broly." She practically sung. "Do you want to go out and play with Itachi?"
"Play?" Broly looked at Itachi. He was that boy with the old man when they went to the hospital. He looked friendly enough, he even offered a smile. "Okay." He left the table and went to the front door.
"Where are you going to play, Itachi?"
"I wanted to bring him to my house. We have lots of animals around and there are other kids our age. I hope that's okay."
"Of course, just don't be out too late!" Kushina wagged her finger at both of them. "Be back before dark, okay?"
"Yes, Miss Kushina." Itachi nodded.
"Okay, mommy." Broly nodded too.
...
"Itachi is playing with that boy." Fugaku noted from inside the kitchen. It had a window and through it he could see his son, Broly, and several other clan children playing tag and hide and seek.
"I think it's wonderful that he made a new friend." Mikoto smiled as she washed the dishes. "Shisui has been his only friend for some time now, and it's great that he's opening up to the other kids too."
"He's dangerous that boy." Fugaku muttered to himself. Then an idea struck him. Itachi informed him of the details from when Broly went ape, how he couldn't control him with his sharingan. It was surprising. Itachi has one of the most powerful sharingan he had ever seen, his abilities with them were second only to his own visual prowess.
No one knew his deepest secret, but even then, he wouldn't attempt to use it on Broly, it'd be too obvious. No, he'd simply have Broly join them of his own free will. If it meant pushing Itachi to get as close to the boy as possible, it'd be worth it with Broly on their side for the coup.
"I disapprove." Was all Fugaku said as he walked away. Mikoto heard this and decided to ignore her husband's remark. He was this way with everyone, stranger or no and she wanted Itachi to have more friends. All the pressure Fugaku put on him, he was only five years old, Mikoto wanted her son to have as close to a normal childhood as possible.
Outside, Broly had just caught up to one of the other children and tagged them, now he was trying his best not to get caught. They were definitely Uchiha kids, even though they were young they were put through training as early as four years old and were fast for their age. Itachi was hiding on top of one of the branches of a nearby tree. He stuck out a little because he didn't want to make it too hard for the others to spot him.
Broly was a hair's width away from being touched and out of instinct, jumped up and hovered over the ground.
"Woah!"
"Wow!"
"Cool!"
Several children were amazed that a kid their age could fly, or any age really. Flying was practically unheard of around the world and to see it up close and personal like this, it was pretty cool.
Broly saw their reactions and grinned for the first time since he got to Konoha. This was his first time playing with others and nothing could ruin this. He took advantage of their awe and flew around some more. He even did a few loops in midair.
Itachi jumped down from his hiding spot and couldn't believe his eyes. Never in his life had he seen somebody fly. The only person who could achieve such a feat was the Third Tsuchikage of Iwa, but the old man wasn't friendly from what he heard. "Broly... you can fly?"
Broly looked at him and nodded, that grin still on his face. "I can fly." He repeated.
"That's awesome!" Itachi acted like the rest of the kids with them. It really was a sight to behold.
Broly touched down on the ground and ran away. "I'm not it!"
The rest of the kids quickly got the message and dispersed. They ran for dear life to avoid being tagged.
...
"Broly! You're back. How was playing with Itachi? Did you have fun?" Kushina asked him several questions and Broly didn't know what to say.
"I had fun." Was what he settled with. Broly thought about it a little more and then nodded his head. "Itachi is nice and he's fun. Watch mommy! I can do this!" Broly began to levitate and was watching for Kushina's reaction.
"Silly little boy." Kushina pulled his floating body into a hug. "You're just full of energy and surprises, huh?"
Broly snuggled into her arms. He really did take comfort in Kushina. She was the best mom he could ever hope for and he wanted her in his life forever. "I love you, mommy."
Kushina's eyes widened when she heard that. That was the first time he said that to her and while she never said it to him either, it felt... good. Yeah, it felt good to hear that. "Oh Broly... I love you too. Now what do you say we go play with Naruto okay? Mommy needs to clean and I need you to be a big brother."
"Okay." Broly nodded and floated off to his little brother's crib.
Kushina was joyful inside. She already knew Broly could fly and no one knew her son better than she did. Still, him openly telling her that meant that he trusted her. And if that wasn't enough, he even told her he loved her.
If only Minato was here to see this.
...
"There have been talks around the nations about a boy from the stars crash landing in one of the villages." One man spoke. His features were hidden behind a solid hologram, it only exposed his eyes and outline. With him were several other people who also were merely projections in the air.
"The fuck's that gotta do with us? Jashin has no interest in a boy from the stars! Not to mention you interrupted me during a slaughter! Oh all that blood! They were worthy sacrifices for you, my lord!"
"Shut up, Hidan." A tall man standing next to him growled. "Keep talking and I'll rip your arms off and beat you with them til you're unconscious."
"As if, you old fuck! Tell me, how was gettin' to know Sage of Six Paths?"
"Silence." The man with rippled, metallic purple eyes commanded. Both of his subordinates stood silent. "According to Zetsu, they've kept his heritage a secret."
"Then how did we find out?" A hunched over man with sharp eyes questioned.
"The village may have taken precautions to hide his identity, but the boy has given himself away." The one known as Zetsu answered. His outline was a strange one, probably the most out of all his allies. It consisted of a Venus flytrap jutting out of his shoulders and standing above his head. "Thanks to the many well-places sources Sasori has around the village, I was able to discern where the boy lived. I followed him around for quite sometime before leaving, even now I intend to leave a white zetsu in my place while I handle other tasks."
"Well? I didn't come here to listen to your ramblings."
"Our person of interest? Broly Uzumaki. No, he's not a real clan member, but he was adopted and is under the care of Kushina Uzumaki, Konoha's red hot-blooded habañero. A-rank shinobi, borderline S-rank. There are agents watching him from time to time but aside from that, the village doesn't have a security detail on him."
"Then he is vulnerable." The apparent leader added. "We'll leave the boy alone for now. When he gets older, we'll make our move."
"Why don't we just kill him now?" Hidan asked.
"He may be weaker now, but Kushina Uzumaki is a formidable shinobi. Despite her low odds of winning against one of our pairs, reinforcements may be close by if Konoha has an invested interest in him. Zetsu can monitor him as he grows and report on his abilities so we'll be prepared for any future encounters." He didn't say anything else and faded from view. Everyone else followed suit, save for Sasori.
'Zetsu, you walking pile of grass. Next time you use my agents without my knowledge I'll scatter your remains across Kusagakure.'
...
"You want me to take care of a kid?" Yugito crossed her arms under her bust. "I'm still a kid."
"I know." A, the fourth Raikage of Kumogakure acknowledged. "This is a pending assignment. You won't take care of him now, you're still too young not to mention broke." A noted her eyebrow twitch. "Once you turn seventeen, I'll grant you an extended leave to care for the boy."
"And who is this kid? What's so special about him that you need me to do it?" Yugito wasn't too thrilled about taking care of another, hell, ever since her parents died when she was a young child, she had trouble taking care of herself.
"You'll know when you are his legal guardian." A left no room for argument.
Yugito balled her hands into fists and felt her anger rise. She had no interest in this and being forced to do it just soured her mood more. "Whatever. Can I go?"
A signed a few more papers in silence before looking up at her. He knew she was mad, quite frankly he didn't care. "Dismissed."
Yugito didn't waste anymore time and walked out.
...
"You damn kids!" A tall man shook his fist at the pair of boys running away from his store. One of them mooned his customers while the other clogged his public toilet and used marker to write 'kids rule' on his door.
Luckily for the owner, it wasn't permanent marker and they didn't take his plunger. Just kids looking for a fun time he supposed. Still, one of the kids had an Uchiha clan symbol on his back. 'I thought Uchiha's were above this kind of behavior. Kids.'
He was simply the first victim in what became one of the largest prank wars ever. Throughout the entire day Itachi and Broly played harmless pranks on the store owners and citizens of Konoha. It was all in good fun and no permanent damage was caused.
"Alright kids, enough is enough." A voice called out from behind them. "Broly Uzumaki. Itachi Uchiha. You kids could be spotted from a mile away."
Broly and Itachi turned around and knew they were screwed. In front of them was one of Konoha's ANBU, not just any of them, the commander of the entire division. He was the toughest of the tough. The only ones who could defeat him in one-on-one were the Hokage, Jiraiya, and Fugaku Uchiha. He wasn't an S-rank shinobi for nothing. His code name was Dragon. Unlike all his subordinates who wore white masks with animal markings, Dragon wore a dark green mask.
Dragon didn't usually conduct patrols at all but he had just finished a meeting with the Hokage and caught wind of pranks that had befallen the villagers.
"Un oh. Even Father doesn't mess with Dragon." Itachi knew his chances of escaping were slim to none.
Broly looked at Dragon and back to Itachi. They were in a back alley with three-story buildings on either sides and a dead end. No way out. Broly grinned and grabbed Itachi's hand and took off flying out of the there.
Dragon jumped up the side of the building to catch up to them. He threw two kunai with ninja wire attached to them. They landed in front of Broly but he saw their glimmer of light so he flew even higher. A few copies of Dragon jumped in front of them and each pulled out several kunai.
Broly had to maneuver around the constant barrage of knives that were intent on cutting him. One grazed his cheek so he shifted course to the left behind some shops. Dragon was close behind with his clones.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Dragon aimed the fireball just a little too close for Broly and Itachi's comfort so Broly threw Itachi far ahead to give him a head start. Itachi landed on his feet with the grace of a seasoned shinobi. He saw Broly take off due east and figured he'd head toward his home.
Itachi followed suit, but took the long way around. He didn't need Dragon to follow him.
...
"Broly?" Kushina opened the door and was almost knocked over when Broly rushed inside. She stuck her head out of the doorway and looked around for any trouble that might've followed her son. When she was satisfied that none had, she closed the door. "Broly." She crosses her arms across her chest and looked down expectantly at her son. "What did you do?"
Broly had the decency to look ashamed. He traced his foot around in circles on the floor and didn't look up for a few seconds. "Me and Itachi-"
"Itachi and I." Kushina corrected.
"Itachi and I were playing pranks on people. We were having fun when this man started chasing us."
Kushina giggled when Broly told her about the pranks. He might not be her biological son, but damn he sure acts like it. She used to prank others all the time, motherhood mellowed her out. When she heard what the man looked like, she nodded knowingly. Minato and Dragon were a fearsome duo, even more than herself and Minato, at least when it came to missions that didn't involve jinchuriki or bijuu.
"Don't worry about that man Broly. He's just another ninja protecting everyone, even you."
"Me?" Broly pointed to himself.
"Yes you." Kushina ruffled his unruly hair. "You're a villager of Konoha and you're a kid. Dragon's job is to protect you from the bad guys."
"Oh, okay." Broly nodded. "You're gonna see Mommy, I'm gonna protect everyone too."
Kushina jumped for joy, not literally, but she was happy that her son already adopted the protector mentality. She just hoped it wasn't like Minato's or the other Hokage, she admired them greatly, but they always put the village before everything, even family. 'And they all paid the ultimate price.' She thought somberly. "I believe in you, Broly. I think you'll be so strong that you'll be able to protect everyone."
The redhead took her son to take his bath.
...
Alright, a place to stop for today. This chapter kinda has the same purpose as the first, it sets up other characters and their potential interests. So far it's been one month since Broly arrived and even less time since he went Great Ape.
I can understand if some people have problems with how I handled it given how much trouble Goku, Krillin and Gohan had dealing with Vegeta. None of them really won at the end of the day, everyone walked away from that fight pretty fucked up. Plus, I'm not the greatest when it comes to fight scenes. My logic here was Broly's inexperience.
That was Broly's first time going Great Ape and he was running on pure instinct whereas Vegeta had complete control of himself. Also, Broly is five years old, he's not gonna do much other than stomp on buildings and shoot fire and energy out of his mouth.
So once again, please leave a review, you can compliment me, criticize me, I don't have a problem with it, but at the end of the day, it better be constructive. If not, deleted. Thanks for reading and I'll see you all next chapter.
