He could feel as Porunga left, returning to his slumber. And the ever growing power of Kakarot was brighter to his senses than the very three suns that orbited the planet.

Such a powerful young lad he was, with an almost frightening will behind him. If he was so inclined, the boy could have become a scourge on the universe more deadly than the one he called Frieza himself. As it was, while the boy doubted himself he had been able to see his true nature as plain as day when he was unlocking his sleeping powers and sifting through his memories. The boy had a hero's heart, true he was selfish, but many were. What was better, to be born pure and without evil, or to have evil within your very nature and overcome it?

Kakarot was braver than he. Once upon a time, Guru hundreds of years ago after the extinction of his race, where upon he was the only survivor had been consumed by despair and rage. Oh how he had raged in those days. He was afraid that his darkness would poison his children, the new hope of his race, and so he had done what the one the boy knew as Kami had once done. He had split himself in two, clawing the dark emotions that festered within him out and forced them on his other half.

Despite himself, Guru chuckled lightly as he recalled some of the memories he'd found within Kakarot's mind, memories of Guru himself. 'Evil half eh?' he mused. Truly, it wasn't that far from the truth. What he did to his other half Slug was a truly detestable act. And with them both weakened from the split, it had been a simple matter for Porunga to banish Slug from the planet. He had forced evil onto his other half and saved his race. And in the process, he let loose that evil on the galaxy itself.

'Hmm?' Guru perked up when he felt Nail's power spike and grow almost half again in strength, and then Kakarot's began to rapidly swell and spike massively.

It must be due to those fruit, from the Tree of Might. He'd read about them once before in the Namekian Book of Legends. He'd been quite surprised to find they were real when sifting through Kakarot's memories and him deciding to wish for them when the God Ki he sought was confirmed out of his grasp through Porunga.

With his sleeping power in the process of awakening, those fruit would be making his power and sleeping strength spike and grow tremendously.

Good, that was very good. It took quite a lot out of him to unlock his sleeping power and coax it out of him. It had been the first time he'd used that ability in many years. Using it drained even more from the dwindling power keeping him alive. There was a reason he had not awoken Nail's sleeping power after all.

A moment later, he felt Kakarot's presence up and shoot away from him home at a blinding speed. He was so fast even with his senses honed for over a thousand years he could barely keep track of him.

He heard the sound of the entrance door opening and closing, and moments later Nail was elevated up into the room carrying quite a few oddly orange and spiky looking fruit between his arms.

"A gift?" Guru asked, amused.

"Yes sir," Nail nodded, casting an almost awed glance down at the fruit within his arms, eleven of them in total if Guru was not wrong, "..These are amazing, just eating one of them and my power has grown drastically, I've never felt anything like it Lord Guru."

"I would expect nothing less from the legendary Tree of Might," Guru hummed, "What will you do with them? If you eat them all your power should grow quite nicely."

"Indeed," Nail agreed, "But I think you should have them Lord Guru, your power is waning more and more each passing day, with these your power will be able to sustain you much more easily."

Guru smiled, "I thank you my child," he replied, and then shook his head, "But it's better that you, our strongest warrior eat them and become stronger."

Nail's facial features tightened a bit, "..I'm afraid I must insist Lord Guru," he replied looking him straight in the eyes, "If you will not eat at least a few of them, I will not either."

"Ever the stubborn one young Nail," Guru huffed in amusement. He lifted one hand from the armrest of his chair and held it out towards Nail, "Very well, if you will not budge, I will accept on the condition that you eat the majority of them." he relented. It was not that he wanted to die, it was just that his time had been approaching for a while now and he had accepted that, and when he died, he would take Slug with him to the after life.

"Thank you Lord Guru." Nail bowed in gratefulness, as if it was Guru himself who had done him a great honour and not Nail being the honourable one as he always was. Nail made his way over and deposited three of the fruit into Guru's palm.

Under Nail's watchful gaze, Guru lifted the fruit up to his mouth and easily fit all three into it at once and began crunching down on them. They were very sweet and juicy and despite the fact that he only needed water to survive, they left a taste that he would not mind experiencing again.

And as he swallowed, his eyes shot open wide. Power suffused his being. It was a fraction of the power he once wielded when he was whole, but he luxuriated in the feeling. that was not the source of his shock no. It was, the potent life force he felt coursing from his stomach up into his veins. Aches and pains from age dulled and disappeared, his muscles bulked and filled with strength and before his very eyes his skin began to lighten and return to a more youthful state!

Suddenly, he felt a thousand years younger, he felt like he was once again in his prime. And for the first time in years Guru pushed himself up from his seating position and stood on his legs. As he felt his youth return he felt the power within him multiply.

"Lord Guru?" Nail looked up at him wide eyed.

'This...this changes things.' Guru decided after a moment. "Eat your fruit Nail." he bid as he smiled down at his strongest son.

"Yes Lord Guru!" Nail grinned and did as he was told, beginning to chow down on the strange and mystical orange fruit one after another, his power growing and growing with each one.

There was little time to waste when mere decades were the prelude to the destruction of their universe.

As Nail ate, Guru lifted a hand to his face and pressed two fingers against his forehead and concentrated on the link he shared with all of his children on the planet of Namek, 'My children, this may be sudden, but won't you all come to meet me?' Guru sent a telepathic message to all of them, 'There is something of great importance I would like your help with.'

It would be unbecoming to deposit all responsibility on young Kakarot when he now had the ability to help much more.
And there was something he could do now that he was unable to accomplish before because of how feeble his body and power had become by time he had learned the ability.

Guru reached up and grasped his own head, reaching deep into the depths of his ki and essence with his magic power and he coaxed the sleeping power that had been building up within him bit by it for years.

And when Nail was done eating, he would do the same for him.

I awoke to my senses going haywire. "What the fuck?" I jerked up into a sitting position from where I lay on my bed. A mass gathering of powers had just suddenly began to rapidly spike upwards all of a sudden at insane speeds.

"What's wrong with you?" Bulma who was sitting on the bed nursing a cup of coffee asked with a raised brow.

"I just sensed a crazy amount of power rising." I told her. The weird thing was, while I didn't recognise most of them, I did recognise the two that stood out the most, higher than all the others by quite a margin. It was Guru and Nail. And by god were they fucking massive in comparison to what they were when I left Guru's home behind. What the hell did they get up to when I left?

"Eh?" Bulma went wide eyed, "Should we get out of here then?" she panicked.

"No, it's fine," I waved her off, either way it's still Guru "I know who they are, they aren't bad guys and they wouldn't be a threat to me even if they were, compared to yesterday my power is in a completely new league." I explained with a smile before reaching over to grab my scouter, I wanted to check at what kind of numbers they were sitting at for a solid understanding.

There was a list of one hundred battle powers in total that were read and scrolled through in just moments. Not a single one of them was below ten thousand. Some were even approaching a million. But the two that stood out the most, were obviously Nail and Guru's powers. they had both exceeded twenty million! Guru wasn't far off from thirty million!
What the hell happened while I was asleep? While I'd been training to get a hold of my new strength I'd felt both Guru and Nail's powers rising, but nothing like this! On top of that, it seemed every single Namekian on the planet had gathered together and all of their powers and exploded upwards.

Had Guru freaking unlocked the potential of every single member of his race on the planet? That was absurd! Hell, would they even need my help now a year from now? If Frieza came down here and wasn't in his final form he'd get killed instantly by Nail or Guru, hell some of the random powers I saw could gank him before he transformed if he appeared on Namek in his first form.

Shit, I've really butterflied the shit out of canon now haven't I? And he did it all while I was sleeping too, how crazy.

A dainty finger flicked my nose bringing me out of my thoughts and I looked to see Bulma standing in front of me, clad in her grey panties and tank top, her arms crossed and glaring at me with those pretty blue eyes of hers, "That reminds me you dick, why the hell did you go ahead and summon the dragon already!?" she ground out, "I wanted to see it as well! What's the point of me coming if you don't let me see the cool stuff."

...Oh right, that damn clone must have told her.

"And another thing, what's with all that weird fruit?" she asked, pointing to the table where we had eaten our meals, where I had left the ten spiky orange fruit of the Tree of Might.

"You didn't want to come remember?" I shrugged, "Besides, it isn't like I wasn't thinking of you, check this out." I reached out and gently grabbed her hand, then sliced one of my fingernails across skin on her hand lightly, drawing a small little cut.

"What the hell are you-ah you asshole!" She hissed. She jerked her hand out of my grip and raised it to slap me before stopping and blinking. She brought her hand to her face and looked at the back of it, where not a single mark remained, "..What the fuck did you do buster?"

"I wished for regeneration for the both of us," I smirked at her, crossing my arms across my chest smugly, "Now you can survive and heal from pretty much anything besides having your entire body vaporized, and the best of it is it should keep you young forever."

"...Huh, neat," Bulma blinked, before reaching up and cupping her breasts in her hands and juggling them a bit, "Now that you mention it, I don't feel any pain in my back at all right now. With how big my tits have gotten there's always been at least a small little ache."

"As for the fruit," I continued after admiring the contours of those amazingly shaped breasts, pointing over at them, "They're fruit from the Tree of Might. Eating them will give you a massive power boost. Each one should give you roughly a boost of twenty thousand in battle power. I ate a few last night and gave some to the Namekians for letting me use the dragon balls and doing me a big favour and I kept those ten for you so you could get strong easy yourself without having to do any training and nobody can basically hurt you."

"..Wait seriously?" Bulma arched a brow at me, incredulous, "Ten of them at twenty thousand means two hundred thousand battle power, as in one hundred and thirty three times stronger than Raditz who bitch slapped around Piccolo and Goku the two strongest guys on Earth by far just two months ago?"

"Thaaat's right." There was smug, and then there was the level above it, which was probably what was plastered across my face right now.

"That's so sweet!" Bulma squealed, throwing her arms around my neck and hugging me tight before pressing a large wet kiss right against my lips. "So do I just eat them?"

"Yep, have at them, they taste good to so they'll do for breakfast," I replied, gesturing to the fruit on the table, "And as for the Namekian Dragon, don't worry about it, I'll be able to show you him later."

"Sure, sure," Bulma waved me off before hopping over to the table. It did amazing things to that pawg ass of hers, "Bottoms up!" she cheered as she grabbed one of the spiky orange fruit and took a massive bite out of it.

As soon as she did, a massive blue aura burst into existence around her body and I felt her miniscule ki expand hundreds of times over in an instant, overtaking the power I felt from Tien, Yamcha, Krillin in such in split moments.
"Woooo!" Bulma hollered, taking another bite and causing her power to expand again, "This feels amazing! No wonder you meatheads love this so much!"

I snorted in amusement while idly grabbing the items being sent through the air by her blazing aura of power.

'Interesting, it seems that the fruit will unlock the ki of those who have never even used it before when eaten.' I observed. That was very good to know for later.

"You know, I'm stupidly strong now, I could totally beat those saiyan guys coming to Earth myself," Bulma boasted from where I carried her bridal style as we blasted through the air at a stupidly fast feed towards where I felt the gathering of Namekians, "But you...you take the freaking cake honey, a hundred and seven million are you kidding me? If you breathe the wrong way you're gonna wipe out a city or something you freaking monster." she looked at me in disbelief over the scouter attached to her eye displaying my battle power to her.

"I'm just awesome like that baby." I replied easily with a shrug.

"You're bullshit more like," she rolled her eyes, "What were you making such a big deal out of this Frieza guy for? You said he was a hundred and twenty million right? Right now with that big muscle thing you do you can get even stronger right? Aren't you way stronger than him now? Gimme back my time spent being worried and fretting over the guy when a month later you can smack him around like he owes you money."

"I'm just as surprised as you are." I retorted, and I freaking was. At this point, back when I made this plan I was expecting to breach maybe a million at most by this point. Talk about shattering my own expectations. I don't even need to be a Super Saiyan and I could body Frieza. My plans have been sped along massively. I was honestly expecting to have to sit and let Tien or somebody blow holes in my stomach constantly for months on end to reach even a fifth as strong as I am right now.

"Honestly, it almost doesn't feel real, Roshi only had a battle power of a hundred and thirty nine and he could blow up the moon with that kamehameha of his," Bulma sighed, "Now you're literally over a million times stronger than that. If I couldn't see it I'd think it was just too stupid to believe."

It wasn't much long later until we arrived at our destination. One of the islands below Guru's mountain, there was a mass of green skinned humanoids all gathered together. And right in the middle of them all was a massive behemoth of a Namekian that stood as tall as three full grown ones together.

The robes he had been wearing had been replaced for a pair of baggy white pants the same as what Nail wore and an open vest that showed off a massive and powerfully muscled bulky chest and biceps as thick as my entire body.

Guru was looking fucking swoll as fuck!

"Jeez they really are an entire race of Piccolo's! And they're all way stronger than he ever was," Bulma grimaced, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Yeah, don't worry," I assured her with a smile, "The Namekian's are a peaceful race of kind people. Piccolo only went evil because of evil people back on Earth corrupting him."

"Well, if you say so I'll believe you I guess," Bulma nodded hesitantly, and then a moment later puffing her bountiful chest out proudly, "Besides, even if they do get all murdery you're stronger than them all put together so you can just beat the crap outta them all."

"That to I guess." I snorted.

Moments later we touched down and I set Bulma on her feet, "Been hitting the gym or something Guru?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him, even as the numerous Namekian's around us looked on in curiosity.

Guru chuckled, "Or something my young friend," he replied warmly, he spread his arms wide and gestured to the gathered people, "This is all thanks to you. It seems fruit from the Tree of Might contains very potent stores of life force and eating just three of them was more than enough to return me to my prime and allow me to use my ability to awaken sleeping power much more freely."

"You're welcome, I guess?" I replied, I wasn't sure how to respond other than that. I didn't expect this to happen either. But it is still a really pleasant surprise, that means a couple of them will restore Master Roshi's youth as well and probably increase the lifespan of any who eats them. Honestly, Namek has been nothing but good to me, so I'm very much happy to see Guru in such good health.

"Yes, I am most grateful," Guru nodded, he eyes moved to settle on Bulma at my side and he smiled gently down at her, "Hello to you to Miss Bulma, it's a pleasure to meet you. I know you have not had the best experiences with we Namekians due to the one known as King Piccolo, but I hope we may get along, I hope to establish a good relationship with you and your friends."

Huh, weird that he knew her name. But then again, he did look through my memories so it would be weird if he didn't know who she was considering how important she was not just to me, but the whole canon plot entirely.

"Err...nice to meet you to I guess," she waved up at him before sighing and slumping a bit, "And it's fine, it looks like you aren't anything like that dick Piccolo.

"That is relieving to hear," Guru inclined his head, "Still, if you will allow me to make recompense in place of the Son of Katas, my once best friend, I can unlock any sleeping power you may have."

"It's fine," Bulma waved him off, relaxing and becoming much more casual with the giant Namekian, "Besides, the only power I've got is the power I got from those fruit Kakarot here gave me earlier, I'm not exactly a trained fighter or anything like that."

"Just let him," I cut in, drawing her eyes to me, "Everyone in the universe has some hidden potential. Doing this will bring that out and make your power stronger even if you don't have any specific special abilities."

She raised an eyebrow at me before shaking her ahead, "Fine fine," Bulma waved me off and held her arms out in a welcoming gesture to Guru, "Alright big guy, have at it I guess."

"Alright then, brace yourself." Guru nodded. He reached down and placed his massive hand on her tiny in comparison head gently and light rippled around his hand before travelling down Bulma's frame.

"W-WOAH!" Bulma screamed in shock as the same blue aura from earlier burst into existence around her with all the force of a typhoon. Some of the Namekian's around me screamed in shock as they were blown backwards from the sheer explosive force of it.

Bulma is a genius of the highest order, there is no denying it. And with her massively increased thought processing thanks to how massively her new power has surged explosively upwards within it.

Little basic tricks with Ki like firing blasts? She picked that up in two minutes at most, and she was already beginning to to get the hang of floating after fifteen minutes. Having her ki unlocked and her power being so massively increased from the get go was the main reason behind it all, but for being human, a species that had no ingrained instinct to use ki like a Saiyan or Namekian made it an impressive feat in of itself.

And already her potential had been fully unlocked. Apparently, with Guru in much better health and vastly superior strength now, he could make the time it took lessen drastically.

It was mind boggling to think, that according to my scouter, Bulma had a battle power that put the canon Namek Saga Goku to shame, at least at the base.

14,000,840.

It was ludicrous how utterly absurdly broken Guru's ability was to unlock sleeping power and potential. From what Guru explained, most are born with a set potential. It doesn't matter how strong they grow, because their set potential will be that set amount of potential stronger. Guru could, for many bring out their full potential. They could still get stronger from there, but it would take a long time for their potential to grow back to its previous state.

It made sense. And because of me feeding her those fruit from the Tree of Might, her base ability had increased massively, and as such, her potential that was as many times her current base ability, meant that the amount of strength she would gain would become that much larger.

Still, it was absurd that Bulma went from a battle power of twelve to fourteen million and strong enough to easily kill Frieza in any of his forms outside his final one. She had went from a weakling at the bottom of the barrel of the universe, to easily within the top twenty strongest beings currently alive within Universe 7.

Still, while she was busy chatting up the Namekian's and satiating her natural curiosity about how their species lived while pestering them into showing her basic ki techniques, I took the time to take off into the air for a bit and flew off into the distance. With my speed, it was easy to get a few miles away within less than a minute.

There was something I wanted to try. Something I was almost sure I could accomplish.

Just moments after I touched down, a familiar massive form landed behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see the gigantic bulky form of Guru smiling down at me. "You followed me?" I asked.

"Indeed," Guru nodded, "There can be only one reason why you would seek to get this far from everyone else now that your power has grown so massively, at least from what I can infer from the memories I saw yesterday."

He pinned me with an intense stare, "You plan to ascend to the legendary form of your species," he stated, "You plan to try and become a Super Saiyan."

"Yeah." I nodded, no point lying. Yesterday, it was only for a moment, but my aura had turned golden, and I felt my power multiply massively in that split moment before it dyed down. And over the course of the day yesterday up until I feel asleep, that golden light within me had grown and grown and grown to the point where just looking within myself felt like I was bathed in a world of golden light.

It was easily at least one hundred times the amount there was compared to yesterday when for that moment where I was sure that I had ascended for that one second.

"You should brace yourself, this might be rough." I warned him as I settled into my stance and drew upon my ki, powering up to my maximum, my crimson red aura bursting into existence around me like a roaring flame.

"I expect so," Guru hummed, "It's part of the reason why I've come to keep an eye on you."

I saw Guru lift a hand and conjure a barrier of ki around himself as the air began tremble, the ground beneath my feet began to buckle inwards, debris levitating into the air and the waters of the ocean surrounding the island we were on churn violently, quaking back and forth into massive waves.

I looked deep inside myself, centred myself within that golden radiance and pulled with all my might.

It slipped through my mental grasp. I tried again, to no avail. And again, and again. But no matter how I grasped at it I couldn't keep a hold of it. Ages passed, it felt almost like hours really and frustration began to build within me.

The power comes in response to a need, not a desire. Use the pain of loss.

Goku's voice floated through my mind and I ground my teeth. 'Shut the fuck up!' I snarled mentally. Easy for him to fucking say, what the fuck did he know about loss? Boohoo my best friend died! He's gonna be stuck in the afterlife getting free training from a god for a year before getting wished back, get something perspective you fucking tard!

What the fuck has he ever truly lost? Grandpa? No he fucking hasn't, he can go see Grandpa Gohan whenever he fucking wants. He fucking killed him too and he doesn't fucking know that, but I do! I fucking remember that night clearly, I got all his memories when I was given life, even the ones he can't remember or was consciously aware of. I remember the feeling of Grandpa's body going crunch beneath my foot and the feel of his blood soaking into my heel.

Beyond that, nothing! He doesn't even remember our fucking parents, and he doesn't want to. He got lucky like that. They might already be fucking reincarnated right now. I get the memories without them ever being mine and the prospect that they may just already be gone for good and even if not, they're not truly my parents, they're his!

And the worst of it all, is that he's the Super Variation. He will one day go the route of being a fucking retard that will put the very universe at risk. Oh the erasure of the universes not meeting the mortal level is not his fault, and him getting the Tournament of Power going was something that he should be praised for. But you know what shouldn't be praised yet fucking is every damn time?

Him not taking fucking any of the fights seriously until the end. Holding back on his power, going easy on the other contestants of the other universes just so he can see what they're made of and put the entire universe at jeopardy. His sons, his wife, his newly born grandaughter! All of his friends and all the countless innocents. How many fucking times did he almost get kicked out of the battle arena during that tournament because he was holding back?

It's his fucking fault. I have to fucking work myself into the ground, blow holes in my fucking self to get strong enough to make a difference because I can't leave it to fucking him and jeopardize everyone in the known universe just because he wants to hold back for a good fucking fight!

SERIOUSLY! FUCK SON GOKU!

Something slipped into place, and my entire being erupted into gold shining light. A moment later, my vision returned and I found myself staring out of through a blinding golden aura while the sky above had gone pitch black as if Porunga had come to back out to play, thunder booming throughout the sky and lightning dancing through the clouds.

And from the scouter over my right eye, a truly mindboggling number was reflected back at me.

5,370,568,000.

And Chapter ten.

Now, something about potential unlocks. Roughly, I used Krillin and Gohan as a base, going by how much their powers initially creased, roughly by seven times, and then how much their power increased again over time as it continued to steadily rise and level out over the next day or so. I noticed though, that the gains of Gohan and Krillin after the initial seven times increase, was vastly different, and the answer I came to, was it being their innate potential, and then I used that to make a reference of potential ratings using dice and such by using Gohan and Krillin as reference.

Canonically going by my sources, it went something like this;

Krillin bas 14 (14 being Krillin's potential rating.)

Gohan bas 70 (Not Gohan's full potential, but the most Guru had the ability to draw out.)

As far as Kakarot and Bulma's potential went, I used dice to decide them and left them up to the luck of the draw. And in the end, the reason their power reached as it is, is because of these multipliers on potential unlock;

Bulma Bas 10

Kakarot bas 20

...And well of course, the tons of fruit from the tree of Might helped as well.

And for reference, I have SSJ3 Goku in the Buu arc clocked at 12,000,000,000

Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
