Happy New Years! Hope you guys saw the bell drop, I'll continue to work on more projects, but enjoy the first chapter of 2019.

Chapter 3: Recruitment and Planning

- Hidden Leaf Training Fields -

The Training Field was nearly crowded by ninjas and villagers as they were about to watch a fight between a legendary sannin and a fighter whose talents were unknown to them. Goku and Tsunade were preparing for the fight that was about to begin.

Goku: Alright, I can't wait for this.

Sparks: Goku, do you realize what you've done?

Goku: It's just a small spar, what's the worst that could happen?

Sparks: You could kill her.

Goku: Relax, I'll hold back. I won't even go Super Saiyan.

Sparks: That's what I'm afraid of. They don't seem like people who take holding back as an okay.

Goku: Don't worry, it's all for fun.

Sparks: *Sighs* Whatever you say.

Sparks jumped onto a tree as Goku walked into the opening that was kept to make way for the fight.

Tsunade: You ready?

Goku: *Fighting Stance* Ready!

Sakura: Who do you think will win Kakashi sensei?

Kakashi: I'm not sure. Lady Tsunade is strong, but we know nothing about this guy.

Sakura: So you think Goku is even stronger?

Kakashi: We'll just have to see.

Sakura: I see. What do you think Naruto?

Naruto: Come on, Granny! Kick that ramen thief's ass!

Sakura: *Sweatdrop* I'm not surprised.

The fight began when Tsunade threw a punch at Goku who dodged it and delivered a punch to the gut which sent Tsunade back. Tsunade recovered quickly and launched a Heaven Kick of Pain, but Goku blocked it this time.

Goku: You're strong, but your attacks are too slow. If you put less weight into your attacks, you might be able to land a hit on me.

Tsunade: This is a fight, I'm not here to take advice from you.

Tsunade kicked Goku in the face. And then proceeded to add more force to her punches which allowed Goku to dodge with more ease. Goku was about to punch Tsunade but she used substitution jutsu to sneak behind Goku and karate chop him right on the neck. Goku then felt a sharp pain and he couldn't move.

Goku: Ah, what did you do?

Tsunade: I blocked out your chakra. Good luck avoiding this.

Tsunade punched Goku straight in the chest and smashed him onto the ground. Tsunade continued to pummel Goku until the Saiyan powered up. The power up blasted Tsunade off him and forced him to go Super Saiyan which he quickly reverts back to normal.

Goku: That actually stunned me.

Tsunade: How are you moving again?

Goku: I just powered up. Raising my ki allowed me to overpower whatever you did.

Tsunade: Ki? You mean chakra, right? He can't be using Ki. If he was, it would consume his life energy.

Goku: I've never heard of chakra. But I'm ready to finish this. Kamehameha!

Tsunade just leaped over Goku's Kamehameha wave and when she landed, Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport in front of her and use a Meteor Combination ending with him landing a sharp blow to the gut and kicked her into a tree. Tsunade was able to recover but she wasn't sure she was going to be able to continue fighting much longer. But she continued to fight against Goku.

Sakura: No way, this Goku guy is able to go toe to toe with Lady Tsunade. He might actually win this.

Naruto: Of course not, Granny can win this. She's just toying with him.

Kakashi: I'm not sure, she could just be tired from her fight with Madara or Goku is just that good. Either way, she's losing.

Tsunade: I have to finish this fast or else I won't be able to beat him. But his attacks did more damage than I thought. I'll just have to end this in one attack. Alright Goku, let's finish this.

Goku: Sounds good to me.

Tsunade channeled her chakra into her fist and charged at Goku while the Saiyan also charged toward the Hokage. They clashed resulting in a shockwave that could be felt throughout the village. Despite Tsunade's best attempts, she was overpowered by Goku and fell to the ground nearly unconscious.

Goku: Hey are you okay?

Ay tries to hit Goku with a Lariat but Sparks stops him and throws him into the nearby cliff.

Mei: Lava Release! Rubber Wall Technique!

Sparks and Goku dodged the attack and Sparks drew his swords in a ready position to strike anyone that attacked.

Mei: You may be cute, but if you hurt my friend you're an enemy to me and the Allied Shinobi Force. So one more step and you're dead.

Sparks: As if you could hurt us. If you want a fight, I'll gladly give you one.

Goku: No Sparks.

Sparks: What?

Goku: We're not trying to make enemies okay. It's best to just leave.

Sparks: Where though? We've basically made enemies with everyone here and we have no idea how to get to Mt. Pazou, Kame House or Capsule Corp. So how are we going to get home or find our friends?

Goku: We'll find them. But do you really want to fight these people?

Sparks: *Sheathes his katanas* Fine, let's go.

Tsunade: Wait.

Tsunade walked up in front of the crowd which shocked Sparks and Goku because she was completely healed.

Sparks: You're completely fine?

Tsunade: Yes, it's my own ability. Goku, you've proved yourself to be a powerful fighter, and given our current circumstances we need strong fighters.

Goku: Huh?

Sparks: She's proposing an alliance.

Goku: Oh, well I accept.

Naruto: What, we don't even know anything about these guys. They could be working with Madara and Tobi for all we know.

Goku: Who?

Sparks: We've never heard of anyone who goes by those names. But if they're your enemies and if we were working for them, we would have killed you by now.

Naruto: You may say that now, but then you'll go and betray us when we least expect it.

Sakura: Shut up Naruto!

Sparks: Thank you. Anyway I'm in too. You'll need as many allies as you can get if you need someone like Goku.

Tsunade: Very well, from now on you two are allies to the Allied Shinobi Force.

- Akatsuki Hideout -

Tobi just finished making a replicate of the mask that Naruto broke.

Tobi: I won't be able to summon the Gedo Statue for awhile. This could be a problem for the war.

It wasn't long after that Madara appeared along with Frieza and the other villains.

Tobi: Madara?!

Madara: Tobi.

Tobi: You're alive.

Madara: I got help. Now we need to get Kabuto so we can rebuild our army.

Tobi: Who are they?

Madara: Reinforcements. Ones that will crush the Allied Shinobi Force. In two weeks, the Infinite Tsukuyomi will become a reality. But first, we need to find Kabuto.

Tobi: I've lost track of him.

Madara: Don't worry, I've been taking some time to track him. He's currently battling two Uchihas.

Tobi: I can only assume that it's Sasuke and Itachi. So they betrayed us, just like Nagato.

Madara: We'll deal with them later, Kabuto is all that matters. Cell, I need you to use your teleportation jutsu to retrieve him.

Cell: Well I won't know who bring back without a description.

Tobi: He'll have white hair and wear glasses, that should distinct him from the others.

Cell placed two fingers on his head and teleported to the Kabuto's chakra.

- Hidden Snake Grotto -

Itachi: Izanami.

Itachi was on the third lope on trapping Kabuto in Izanami. He just needed one more loop and he'd be able to reverse the reanimation ninjutsu. But before he could start another one, Cell teleported in and launch a ki blast at the Uchiha.

Cell: You two must be the ones Madara said betrayed him.

Sasuke: Who are you?

Cell: A new acquaintance of his. I'd suppose he has plans for you later, but as of now I'll be taking Kabuto.

Itachi & Sasuke: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

The two balls of flames hit Cell, but the android was unfazed.

Sasuke: What the hell?

Cell: Well I guess I can get a small warmup out of you two.

Cell charged at the two and teleported behind the Uchihas. He swatted Itachi away like fly and Sasuke tried to land a blow with his sword, but Cell grabbed it and flicked Sasuke into a wall.

Cell: Well that's about all I have time for, but how about a little present for you before I leave. *Cups his hands* Kamehame . . .

Itachi & Sasuke: Amaterasu!

Black flames surround Cell, but the ultimate android flared his ki up the flames faded. Leaving the Uchihas in shock.

Cell: Ha!

Cell fired his Kamehameha wave that deliberately missed the ninjas and blasted a gigantic hole through the cave, obliterating the nearby forest.

Cell: That was disappointing, I knew I shouldn't expect much but I was at least expecting some entertainment. Well I'll be taking Kabuto now.

Kabuto: I don't even know you. How do I know your not with the Ninja Alliance.

Cell: Madara sent me to bring you back. So unless you want to stay, I suggest you grab on.

Kabuto reluctantly grabbed Cell's hand and the android used Instant Transmission to leave the cave.

Sasuke: Who was that monster? And what kind of jutsu is that?

Itachi: I don't know. But if he is working for Madara, the Allied Shinobi Forces won't stand a chance. You need to go to the Leaf and warn them.

Sasuke: I'm not going back to the Leaf. You may have forgiven them for what they made you do to our clan, but I will never forgive them.

Itachi: Please Sasuke, don't do it for them. Do it for me.

Sasuke: Fine, but what will you do?

Itachi: I'll go find try to find out what Madara is up to with that monster. And if he has any weakness. Then we'll defeat Kabuto.

Sasuke nods and runs off to the Hidden Leaf Village.

- Hidden Leaf Village -

Naruto angrily walks around the village still thinking about the new "allies" that were now in a meeting with the 5 Kage.

Naruto: What's so special about that thief and asshole. So what if their strong, they're not heroes. But still if that guy was able to beat Granny. They could be talking about him becoming the next hokage! Wait, there's no way that could happen, right?

Kurama: You're seriously still complaining about the new recruits, Naruto?

Naruto: Like you would understand Kurama. They could be praising them as superheroes and I don't trust that Son Goku guy. Wait, where have I heard that name before?

Naruto's thought process would be interrupted by a kunai that was thrown in front of him.

Naruto: What the hell? Huh?

Naruto picks up the kunai and sees a note tied to it. He untied the note and read it.

Naruto: 'Gathering everyone Naruto. Meet in the Leaf Forest, Fa Show.' Octopops. Looks like I have to go now. I'll find a way to show the village that I'm stronger than Goku.

- Universe 7 - Capsule Corp. -

Chiara and Gohan just arrived at Capsule Corporation to see Piccolo and Vegeta already there.

Gohan: Any luck finding Dad?

Piccolo: No, Shenron couldn't find Goku. He said Goku wasn't even in this realm.

Chiara: Then how could dad even leave the multiverse?

Bulma: We're not sure. So I'm going to make some beefcakes and hope Beerus and Whis will come.

Before anyone else could do anything, Beerus and Whis arrived.

Bulma: What the hell? You guys can't just barge in whenever you want.

Beerus: Oh my apologies, I guess you don't want to know where Goku is. Come on Whis . . .

Vegeta: Wait Lord Beerus. *Bows before Beerus* We want to know what happened to Kakarot and where he is?

Beerus: Very well, I sent him to do some special training with Sparks.

Chiara: So you just sent my dad to another realm?

Beerus: You have a problem with that girl?

Gohan: *holds onto Chiara while keeping her mouth shut* No she doesn't have a problem Lord Beerus.

Beerus: Good. Well I must be going, and if everything goes well. Goku will be back in 2 weeks.

Whis teleports with Beerus holding his shoulder as they go back to his planet.

Chiara: Goddammit. That jackass sent my dad to another realm. And for what?

Gohan: That doesn't matter Chiara. We'll just have find dad ourselves.

Piccolo: We can ask the Supreme Kai. He'll probably be able to help. Chiara can use to take Gohan and me to his planet while Vegeta stays.

Vegeta: What, why do I have to stay?

Piccolo: In case Beerus comes back. We need someone to distract if he gets suspicious of what he's doing. Alright?

Vegeta: Fine.

Gohan and Piccolo grab onto Chiara's shoulder and they teleport to Supreme Kai's planet.

- Universe 7 - Future Trunks Timeline -

Trunks was finishing up the preparations for the Time Machine, thanks to Whis bringing him and Mai back to his timeline before Goku Black and Zamasu came, Trunks was able to kill Goku Black and Whis took care of the Immortal Zamasu. This also led to many people being saved including Future Bulma. Now Trunks was going back to Goku's time in order to get stronger.

Old Bulma: Almost ready?

Trunks: Yeah, you know you don't have to come.

Old Bulma: I know, but I want to come. It's been awhile since I've seen my old friends.

Trunks: Alright, well the Time Machine is fueled up. It's about time for us to get going.

Trunks and Bulma hop in and set their coordinates to follow Goku. The time machine began to whirl as it was surrounded by a bright glow and then it teleports but they end up in a forest that they didn't recognize it.

Trunks: This is weird, I don't recognize this place.

Old Bulma: How did we get here? I programmed this to pick up Goku's ki.

Trunks: Yeah, give me a minute. *Takes a minute ts sense Goku's ki* I got it. Come on Mom, we should be able to reach him soon.

After they stored the time machine back in it's capsule, Mai hopped onto Trunks' back as they fly off to find Goku.

- Hidden Leaf Village - Hokage's Office -

Sparks: So you guys are in the middle of a war with this Madara Uchiha guy, and he's brought reinforcements from somewhere and they're more powerful than you. So you need us because we might stand a chance.

Tsunade: That's the simple explanation. We had gone up against what Madara claimed to be the weaker ones, and they beat us without breaking a sweat. We're not sure how powerful they are but if we had taken them on even at our best, we wouldn't have stood a chance against one of them.

Goku: Well it's kind of hard to say if we can help you.

Sparks: Of course we can, if they're too powerful for our best forms, we can transform.

Tsunade: What do you mean by transform?

Sparks: We have transformation. You know, a change in form or appearance. But with us, the change in form comes with a boost in our physical and spiritual abilities.

Onoki: So your saying that these transformations of yours can help you fight those monsters.

Sparks: It's no guarantee, we might not need it to beat them. Or they might be a step above our power. Who knows.

Goku: But you can count on us to help you fight them, cause we don't walk away from a fight.

A knock on the door interrupts them.

Tsunade: Come in.

Shizune, Tsunade's assistant, walks in breathing heavily which suggested she had ran here.

Shizune: Lady Tsunade, the anbu has reported back from their last mission.

Tsunade: Their report?

Shizune: No news on Madara, but they spotted Sasuke headed towards the village.

Tsunade: Then stop him.

Sparks: Enemy?

Tsunade: A former ninja of the Hidden Leaf. The last we've heard of him, he joined forces with Madara.

Goku: But you guys said that Madara gave you two weeks before the war starts again, so why would he send someone here to attack?

Sparks: I'd think that this guy might have defected from Madara. We could probably give him a chance to explain his reasoning before attacking him.

Ay: If you're suggesting that ally ourselves with that traitor, you can forget it. He's caused too much damage to make up for it.

Sparks: You guys need as many allies as you can get. Throw him in jail afterwards, but until the war ends. He could be useful.

Gaara: Sparks has a point, we should take this as an opportunity of recruitment until the end of the war.

Mei: He does make a valid point, but in the end this decision is for Tsunade to make since Sasuke was formerly a Leaf Ninja.

Tsunade was currently in a debate with herself. Sasuke was a rogue ninja and couldn't be trusted, but Sparks was right about needing as many allies as possible.

Tsunade: We'll proceed with Sparks' idea. But you have to accompany them.

Sparks: What, why me?

Tsunade: Sasuke is a powerful ninja that can rival each of us on his own. I can't just send a ninja force to him if he's expecting a fight.

Sparks: Fair point, but it would be better if we bring someone he's familiar with or else he might just try to attack me.

Tsunade: Shizune, inform Naruto and Sakura that they have a new mission.

Shizune: Yes ma'am.

- Hidden Leaf Forest -

Trunks continued to fly over the forest in the direction of Goku's ki while carrying his mother on his back until she screamed.

Trunks: What's wrong Mom?

Old Bulma: My capsules just fell out of my pocket. We need land, now.

Trunks: Oh, okay. Sure.

Trunks descends to the ground and Bulma to find her capsules.

Trunks: Do you need some help?

Bulma: No, just wait here.

Trunks: Alright. Mom might take a while so I might as well do a little training while I'm here.

Trunks began to throw random punches and kicks in the air until he unsheathed his sword and swung it through the air. Eventually he curved his hands above his hand as he charged his attack. But Sasuke was nearby and felt Trunks' energy spiking.

Sasuke: His chakra is like that monster who took Kabuto, he must be with him. If I land a good surprise attack, I should be able to kill him.

Trunks: Galick Gun!

Trunks fired the purple beam up into the sky, and after a few seconds it dissipated. Before Trunks could relax, Sasuke launched his Inferno Style: Flame Control which launched black flames as sharp as kunais which Trunks stopped with a Burning Attack.

Old Bulma: Trunks, I found the capsules . . . what's going on!?

Trunks: We're being attack, stay behind me.

Sasuke: Damnit, at least I still the element of surprise. I just need to attack from different angles. Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu.

- Hidden Leaf Entrance -

Sparks was waiting at the front gate for a couple of minutes until Sakura and Shizune finally showed up.

Sparks: Hey, Sakura I presume. Where's your blond-haired friend? He is the other person that should be coming with us, right?

Sakura: His name is Naruto, and he's not here?

Sparks: Nope.

Shizune: I couldn't find Naruto anywhere so you'll just have to go on your mission with someone else.

Sparks: No need, Sakura and I can handle it just fine. Tell Whiskers to catch up if you see him.

Sakura: Whiskers?

Sparks: Because of the whisker marks on his cheeks. Now let's go find your friend.

A large purple beam could be seen through the sky as the ground around them shook and then the beam dissipated.

Sparks: Was that Vegeta's Galick Gun? I think I know where we should start.

Sakura: Wait, what was that?

Sparks: I'll explain on the way now let's go.

Sparks and Sakura run off to the site of the energy beam.

- Hidden Leaf Forest -

Naruto makes it to the meeting place to see Killer Bee.

Naruto: Octopops, what's with the sudden call?

Killer Bee: Cool off bro, wait for the others Naruto.

Naruto: The others?

Yagua: He means us Naruto.

The other jinchuriki except for Gaara arrived.

Utakata: So what's this emergency about?

Killer Bee: New . . *Gets punched by Yugito*

Yugito: We weren't supposed to tell anyone but we decided to forewarn you all.

Fuu: What about Gaara.

Yugito: He already knows. Madara somehow got his hands on warriors that could decimate the entire Allied Shinobi Forces.

Naruto: What? That's not possible.

Yugito: They went up against the weakest of those monsters and they got one-shot.

Naruto: So that's why Granny recruited those jerks.

Han: What jerks?

Naruto: These two weirdos showed up out of nowhere today and ate my ramen.

Yugito: That's it?

Naruto: Of course not, one of them beat Granny in a sparring match and she recruited the two of them to the Ninja Alliance.

Yugua: And how is that bad news?

Naruto: I don't trust these guys, that's why.

Roshi: You shouldn't let your emotions cloud your judgement Naruto. If these new allies are powerful, we shouldn't anger them.

Naruto: Whatever. I need to prove that I can beat that Son Goku guy anyway so I can prove that I'm worthy of becoming Hokage.

Roshi: Son Goku? You mean like Son?

Naruto: What?! He has the same name as Son, I can't believe I forgot that! He might connected to Son's remaining chakra.

Just then a the shock of Trunks' Galick Gun could be felt by the jinchuuriki.

Naruto: What was that?

Yugito: I don't know, but it's definitely something that we should check out.

Sasuke continued to launch attacks from all angles while Trunks continued to counter the attacks.

Trunks: Mom, duck.

As Bulma ducked, Trunks shot a Dual Masenko destroying the trees that Sasuke was using which revealed him to his opponents. Bulma opened one her capsules that had an energy gun in it and fired a blast but Sasuke dodged it.

Sasuke: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

Trunks used a kiai to put out the giant fireball but Sasuke had already formed his Susanoo avatar and launched an giant flame arrow. Trunks cut the arrow in half with his sword and then punched the avatar which completely shattered it. Sasuke recovered and engaged in a sword duel with Trunks. They parried each others blows with one of Sasuke swipes nearly hit Trunks, but they hit his capsules instead. Sasuke tries to launch a chidori, but Trunks dodges and punches Sasuke into a tree. When Sasuke got up, he charged at Trunks again. But before they clashed, Sparks intervened and stopped the clash with his own swords.

Sparks: Alright, that's enough.

Trunks & Sasuke: Who are you?

Sparks: My name is . . . *looks at Trunks* Trunks?

Trunks: What?

Sparks: Oh, sorry you just look like this kid I know. But he has purple hair. And you look a friend of mine but older.

Trunks: No, it's not that. I'm just confused as to how you know my name.

Sparks: Are your parents Vegeta and Bulma Briefs?

Trunks: Yeah.

Sparks: Oh my god. You're that Trunks from the future aren't you?

Trunks: Wait, how do you know me and my parents?

Sparks: I met your parents and their friends. So you must be Future Bulma?

Old Bulma: Yes I am.

Trunks: If you know my parents, then do you happen to know Son Goku?

Sparks: Yeah, I'm here with him.

Trunks: Then can you take me to him, uh. I'm sorry I didn't get your name.

Sparks: Sparks.

Sakura and the jinchuuriki just arrived at the scene too.

Naruto & Sakura: Sasuke.

Sasuke: Naruto? Sakura?

Yugua: What are you doing here, rogue ninja?

Sasuke: I'm here to fight against Madara.

Naruto: So your coming back to the village?

Sasuke: Don't get the wrong idea. This is only temporary, I have no intention of staying. But as of now, yes.

Sparks: Well that's nice to know that all friends here.

Naruto: We are not friends, especially after you and Goku ate all my ramen!

Sparks: Whiskers, the ramen stunt was only Goku. I had nothing to do with it.

Naruto: What did you call me?!

Sparks: Shut up Naruto. You're super annoying when you yell.

Naruto: Don't tell me to shut up!

Sakura: You better shut up or I'll kick your ass!

Naruto: Yes Sakura.

- Akatsuki Hideout -

Madara was currently resting for tomorrow when he starts to make his new plan for when the war is continued. During this time, Beerus and Whis appear in front of him, waking him up from his nap.

Madara: Lord Beerus?

Beerus: Madara, how's the war coming along?

Madara: I gave them 2 weeks before the war continues so I can devise a new plan with your warriors and increase my army.

Beerus: Well that's nice. Anyway I'm in mood from some of that ramen that I was promised.

Madara: I can't just go there. It's the Hidden Leaf and I'm their biggest enemy.

Whis: May I suggest using Broly. He would blend in with normal people in the village and he can just go in and get the ramen. He'll be able to stay calm with the spell I have on him.

Madara: Very well, I'll have Broly fly over to the village tonight and get your ramen. Any flavor?

Beerus: I don't care, I just want some delicious ramen.

Madara: Alright, well I'll get Broly prepared now

This might be where I have to pause on this project for a short while so I can see the Broly movie. So look out for my other projects, until next time. And once again, Happy New Year!
