Chapter 2:5- Meet the Grand Elder!
Age 762, December 18- Planet Namek- With Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende
Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende were flying on way to Grand Elder's house. 'Vegeta seems to be even stronger than he was before, and I sensed an even more incredible Ki from that Freeza guy.' Kuririn thought, 'I don't know what kind of training Goku is doing, but this time, even he might not be up to the task. In any case, we'll get the one Dragon Ball the Grand Elder has, and then just hide for five and a half days until Goku arrives.' Then they descended close to the ocean as they flew away. 'After that, all we can do is wait for Goku to perform a miracle. Ah, If I'm starting to hope for miracles, then we've had it.'
Kuririn rubbed his bald head and sigh, 'Geez, I've never had a single woman in my life, either.'
Naruto smirked, 'I can't wait to see Grand Elder! I wonder what he looked like! If we get the Dragon Ball to guard, then there's no way that Vegeta or that Freeza guy could get their wish granted. All we need do is to revive our dead friends who were killed by that Saiyans. Oh, man! Six days to go until Goku arrives! Ha! As if! I'm not going to die here on this Planet Namek! If I die again, then I will never come back to life again! I'm not going to abandon my two dreams! One, Return to Planet Element! Two, I'm going to become Hokage someday! Oh, yeah! Datteboya!'
Sasuke folded his arms while flying on way to Grand Elder's house, and thought, 'Seems like Vegeta and that Freeza guys are after Dragon Ball to obtain their eternal life.' Then he stared at Naruto. 'I cannot let them to happen. Who knows one day they could be terrorizing the Element and we can't do anything about it? I can't let them kill Itachi before I do. I will accomplish my revenge on you, Itachi! Well, for now, killing Vegeta is my top priority, then Freeza, and finally Itachi! I'm not going to die here on this planet. I will need to kill Itach first before I die!'
Spaceship, Outer Space- With Goku
Goku continued his training in his spaceship under twenty times Earth's normal gravity. He pumped his fists through air several times, then performing a few back-flips. He sweated heavily. He sat down and breathed heavily. He chuckled, "All right… terrific… I'm pretty used to this 20-times gravity now… Okay, maybe I should try 30-times now."
When he got on his feet, he suddenly heard the voice in his head and said, "Goku! Can you hear me? Goku! Huh?"
Goku looked up and smiled, "Oh! That voice! Is that you, Kaio-sama!?"
"Oh, indeed it is Kaio. By any chance, is that outer space you're in now? What are you doing in space? Oh, I get it. Planet Namek, right? It would be nice if you could find their Dragon Balls, huh?" asked Kaio.
Goku confused, "What's with you, Kaio-sama!? Don't you know anything?" Then he sighed, "There's something terrible happening on Planet Namek."
Kaio puzzled, "Something terrible? Well, I'll ask about that later." Then he smiled, "As it happens, I've had some visitors come by here."
"Visitors? What about them?" confused Goku.
Kaio nodded, "It's amazing. These visitors cleared the Serpentine Road and arrived in far less time than Naruto and you did. What's more, there are four of them. Minato and Kushina are glad to meet them although."
Goku confused, "Huh? Four of them? Wait a second! Naruto's daddy and mommy are still there?"
"That's right. Minato and Kushina are still here. Anyways, you know these four quite well," said Kaio.
Goku shocked, "Y- you don't mean-?"
Kaio's Planet, Other World
It was Piccolo, Tienshinhan, Yamucha, and Chaozu stood behind him. Kaio laughed, "They all want even tougher training than what you went through."
Goku smiled, "T- that's awesome! You mean that each of them has arrived there together at your place, Kaio-sama?"
"Can I talk to Goku?" asked Yamucha.
Kaio glanced over his shoulder and nodded, "Place your hand on my shoulder and speak."
Yamucha then placed his hand on Kaio's shoulder and smiled, "Yo, do you hear me, Goku?"
Goku smiled, "Yamucha! I'm glad to hear you're all doing okay."
Yamucha smiled, "We met the dead Kami-sama here on the Other Side, and he told us about this place. Hey, we hear that you're going off to Piccolo's homeworld in search of the Dragon Balls there for us. In order to bring us back to life."
"He said there was four of you, right? Yamucha and Tienshinhan… By any chance, is Piccolo there, too?" asked Goku.
Yamucha nodded, "Yeah, Piccolo is here."
Piccolo heard the whole conversation what Goku and Yamucha said. He scoffed under his breath, "Hmph. My pride won't allow for only you getting stronger, after all."
"Is the last one Kami-sama?" asked Goku.
Yamucha shook his head and said, "No, it's not. Kami-sama stayed in the Next World. It's Chaozu, if you can believe that."
"Chaozu!? Chaozu got blown to pieces. Is he still okay?" shocked Goku. Tenshinhan placed his hands on Chaozu as the white pale midget looked up at him and smiled.
Yamucha nodded, "Yeah, Kami-sama apparently regenerated his body, especially for him."
Goku smiled, "Wow, that's amazing! Good for you, Chaozu! Awesome! That's awesome! With everyone alongside, my courage is a hundred times greater! I'm glad to hear you're all doing okay."
Yamucha chuckled, "Yeah, but the gravity here has us beat. Our bodies are so heavy, we can barely even run."
Goku nodded, "Yeah, I know, I know. But I'm heading for a place called Planet Namek, where they have Dragon Balls, and I've started training under even more incredible gravity than that." Then he frowned, "I've got to get a whole lot stronger in the next five and a half days, or we're going to be in bad shape."
Yamucha puzzled, "Huh? Why? Has something happened?"
"I was injured really bad, so Naruto-san, Sasuke, Sakura, Kuririn, Bulma, and Gohan went to Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls. But that Saiyan, Vegeta, has also gone to Planet Namek to find the Dragon Balls."
Yamucha shocked, "W- what!?"
"So, did they get themselves done in by him?" asked Kaio.
Goku shook his head and said, "No, it appears that Vegeta still ain't discovered Naruto-san and others yet. But that ain't all. There's something even more unbelievable. They said there are these other strange guys who are after the Dragon Balls. The weird thing about them is that they were wearing the exact same outfits Vegeta was. What's more, they said that one of them has a Ki that's far greater than Vegeta's."
Yamucha and Kaio shocked in unison, "W- what!?"
Tienshinhan stared at them and folded his arms. "What? Has something happened?" asked the confused Tienshinhan.
From the very distance, on the table, Minato and Kushina were eating a food, but they heard the scream so they had to come to see what's going on. "What's wrong, guys?" asked Minato.
Yamucha shocked, "E- even greater than Vegeta, who was too much for even Goku to handle?"
"B- by any chance, was his name Freeza?" asked the trembled Kaio.
Goku raised his eyebrows and replied, "Huh? I've heard that name before. Daddy told me about him. But I don't know, I ain't heard, but once I know, I'll tell you.'
'If it is Freeza, then this is exceptionally bad…' thought Kaio. "G- Goku, I'm going to check out Planet Namek for you."
Goku smiled, "Could you, Kaio-sama?"
Kaio walked away from Yamucha and mumbled to himself, "Let's see, which direction is Planet Namek in?"
Minato walked to Yamucha and asked, "What's up? What's going on, Yamucha-san?"
Kaio used his antennae to check the identity of the invader on Namek. He saw all the way to Planet Namek. He widened his eyes and shocked, "I'm definitely sensing at tremendous Ki. Now to find the source of this Ki…" He used his antennae to see more in Planet Namek. He saw the guy in hover-pod who was flying to somewhere with five Dragon Balls. He got a good look on the invader's face who was smirking.
Kaio became extremely frightened, expressing his surprise through nervous shaking. "F- Freeza!" Everyone looked at Kaio who screamed.
"What, that was Freeza, Kaio-sama?" asked Goku.
"Goku, this foe is more than just too much for you, he's the worst of the worst. There is no way you can handle this opponent."
Goku frowned, "Yeah, I heard about him from my Father. He said that Freeza is too powerful foe."
"Listen to me, Goku. This is an order from Kaio. Do not go near him. When you get to Planet Namek, take the other six aboard and get out of there immediately. Got that? I'm not just saying this for your own sake. I'm saying this for the sake of everyone on Earth, Namek, and many other planets as well. If you launch some shoddy attack on Freeza and get him angry, something terrible is going to happen. You have to leave that guy alone," said Kaio.
Goku sighed, "Sorry, but I'm going to take him on, since he's the one who wiped all of Saiyans. Daddy asked me to take him on. So I would like to fight him."
Kaio scowled, "Absolutely not! Do not go near him! Do you understand me!?"
Goku chuckled, "But still…"
"'But still' my spongy hind end!" yelled Kaio.
Suddenly, Piccolo placed his arm on Kaio's shoulder in order to convey his message. He chuckled, "Goku, whatever it takes, gather the Dragon Balls, and bring us back to life."
Goku looked up and smiled, "Piccolo!"
"I'm going to build myself up even more than you did here, and go to Planet Namek," said Piccolo.
Goku nodded, "All right!"
Piccolo smirked, "The two of us will blow away this ridiculous whatever-his-name-is."
Kaio turned his around at Piccolo and scowled, "Don't be absurd! You guys don't know a thing about Freeza!"
Piccolo stared at Kaio and chuckled, "There's no time. Hurry and start training us."
"If you're planning to fight Freeza, I cannot teach you. Promise me that you won't go to Planet Namek," demanded Kaio.
Piccolo sighed, "All right."
Kaio wiped his face with his napkins and sighed in relief, "You mean it, right? I'm trusting you." Then he pointed at Yamucha, Chaozu, and Tienshinhan, and said, "That goes for you, too!" All of Earthlings nodded at him.
Piccolo smirked and thought, 'There's no way I'm going to keep a worthless promise like that.'
Tienshinhan smirked and thought, 'I won't be able to surpass Goku by doing the same training that he did. I'll have to pick up the points of the training, and then hone the techniques of my own.' Yamucha began to smirk and Chaozu only looked confusion.
Kaio sighed, "All right, how about we get started?"
'Here we go…' thought Tienshinhan.
'Let's do this…' thought Yamucha.
Minato chuckled, 'For sure… He's going to start with joking stuff. I can prove that…'
Kushina smiled at rest of Earthlings, "Good luck on your training."
Kaio turned his back on the Namekian and Earthlings, and sighed, "First of all…" then he turned around back at them and smiled, "…try to make me laugh with a pun. I will allow anyone who passes this test to train under me," which confused Piccolo, and Earthlings.
Minato chuckled, 'I knew it!'
Spaceship, Outer Space- With Goku
Goku smirked to himself, "Even if he has told me not to mess with him, there's no harm in getting stronger! All right, let's try jumping all the way to 50-times gravity!"
(Planet Namek- With Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn and Dende- Elsewhere)
While they were flying on way to Grand Elder's place, Kuririn asked Dende, "Hey, if we keep flying at this pace, how long before we arrive at the Grand Elder's place?"
"We should be able to make it in another five hours," replied Dende.
Naruto, Kuririn and Sasuke began to frown. It was going to long day just to reach Grand Elder's place!
Planet Namek- With Vegeta
Vegeta was swiftly flying in midair. He looked around him and growled, "Damn, I can't find anywhere that has multiple powers. What does that mean? Aren't there any more villages?" Suddenly, he sensed another sign of energy. He glanced over his shoulder and said, "There are four powers moving. That's strange… one of them doesn't feel like a Namekian, or one of Freeza's men. That's disconcerting. Maybe I should go check it out." Then he flew to different direction in which he sensed the powers.
Kaio's Planet, Other World
Tienshinhan struggled to tell a joke to Kaio so he could laugh in order to qualify for his training. Yamucha and Chaozu were successful in their attempts as Piccolo became annoyed with the whole prospect.
Tienshinhan fell to his knees on the grass and sighed, "I am chagrined…"
Chaozu ran to Tienshinhan and cheered on him, "Tien-san, hang in there!"
Yamucha's face was close to Tienshinhan's face and sighed, "Tienshinhan…" then he mumbled to his ears about something.
Tienshinhan looked at Yamucha and asked, "And I can really make him laugh with that?"
Yamucha nodded, "You'll be fine. This is my ace-in-the-hole gag."
Tienshinhan nodded, "It is, huh?" Then he stood up and sighed, "All right, I'll be right back." He walked towards Kaio.
Chaozu cupped his mouth and cheered loudly, "Tien-san, fight!"
Tienshinhan stopped walking and stared at Kaio. Taking a deep breath, he sighed, "Here I go!"
Kaio smiled, "Bring it on."
Tienshinhan gulped, "Here goes!" Finally, he began, "Y- you think… you think…" He was too embarrassed to say that which make Yamucha and Chaozu shocked. He blushed in embarrassed, "You think…" Kaio cupped his ear, and he was not sure if Tienshinhan did make a joke or something.
"Tien-san! Hang in there!" encouraged Chaozu.
Tienshinhan closed his eyes and thought, 'Have faith in yourself! This one is definitely going to go over well!'
Kaio still cupped his ears and confused, "Huh? What was that?"
Tienshinhan closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then reopened his eyes to reveal the shiny from his eyes which amazed Kaio.
Kaio shocked, "This is different! His determination is different than the others up to now!"
Yamucha clenched his fists and thought hopefully, 'Now!'
Tienshinhan finally spoke up with no hesitation to say. "You think up your nose is secret, but it's (s)not!"
Kaio shocked, but he heard Tienshinhan repeated the puns to him like three or four times. 'What's that? A secret up my nose? I- I'm not sure I understand it, but in any case, it is funny, huh?' thought Kaio.
Tienshinhan panted trying to get some of oxygen inside him because he repeated the pun of his too much.
"W- what should I do? Should I laugh?' wondered Kaio. He suddenly erupted with laughter.
Tienshinhan smiled happily, "I did it!"
Yamucha patted on his shoulder and cheered, "You did it, Tienshinhan!"
Chaozu cheered, "Tien-san! You did it! You did it, Tien-san!"
Yamucha chuckled, "Well done! Good for you!"
Piccolo watched their joking. He folded his arms and scowled, "This is nonsense!"
"You're right! It's nonsense!" said Minato who stood next to Piccolo. "But if you don't give Kaio-sama a pun, then you won't get to train under him!"
"Nonsense! I'm not going to say any damn joke! Remember this: I'm Demon King Piccolo! There's no way that I, Piccolo-sama, am going to say it!" scowled Piccolo.
"Well, it's your loss. Kaio-sama probably wouldn't train you anyways," said Minato. Then he walked away from him, and sighed, "I'm going to see Kushina."
Planet Namek- With Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende
While Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende were flying on way to Grand Elder's place, Naruto sensed someone tremendous power and shouted, "Stop, guys!" Everyone stopped and looked at him. "It's Vegeta! He's discovered us, all right!"
Kuririn shocked, "He's right! Vegeta's coming straight toward us at incredible speed!"
"Then hide! Hurry!" cried Sasuke. They proceeded to hide in order to avoid being spotted, and they retreated behind a mountain. Dende covered his head in fear. They hide and waited for Vegeta to arrive there.
With Vegeta
Vegeta flew through the air to find where four powers were, but he suddenly sensed another enormous power and changed his direction.
With Naruto and Others
Naruto sensed that Vegeta had changed the direction. He confused, "Huh?
"W- what happened?" wondered Kuririn.
"He changed direction," said Sasuke.
Naruto widened his eyes and shocked, "There's another large Ki out there! He went in that direction."
With Vegeta
Vegeta flew at incredible speed towards enormous power and chuckled, "This power is Zarbon, no doubt about it. I've been waiting for him to move out on his own."
Spaceship, Outer Space- With Goku
Goku was training in the spaceship heading for Namek. He performed sit-ups and counted, "28…29…30!" He finally finished with his sit-ups and let his head lay on the floor. He breathed heavily. "Damn… I finally made it to 30… That's 50-times gravity for you…" said Goku.
Kaio's Planet, Other World
Kaio smiled at Eartlings and said, "Now then, to begin your conditioning. I should warn you, my conditioning is un-'condition'-ally severe." Suddenly, he laughed at one of his own another pun. "I just said another one!" Yamucha, Tienshinhan and Chaozu didn't laugh at all and confused at his joking. He stopped laughing and raised his eyebrows. "H- huh?" He turned his back on them and sighed, "You guys want to go home?"
Yamucha and Chaozu had to make up for their fake laughter. "That's funny! That was funny! That was funny!" Tienshinhan had to follow their example to laugh at one of Kaio's jokes.
Kaio nodded and smiled, "Yeah, wasn't it though? Wasn't it though? You can laugh even more." Then he laughed again. "Laugh!"
Yamucha laughed, "That was great! That was great!" Tienshinhan laughed nervously. Chaozu was laughing, but fake laughing anyways.
Kaio chuckled, "Go ahead, laugh!" Then he sighed, "Okay, let's get started right away." Suddenly, Yamucha, Tienshinhan, and Chaozu became serious. He cupped his mouth and called, "Hey! Bubbles-kun!" Piccolo and Earthlings looked at the house.
Bubbles emerged from the house and walked to Kaio. Everyone confused and looked at Kaio. Kaio smiled, "First of all, you are going to catch Bubbles-kun here."
Yamucha chuckled, "Oh, is that it?"
Chaozu nodded, "Easy, easy."
Kaio smiled, "I'm not so sure. It took even Son Goku and Uzumaki Naruto three weeks to do it."
"Goku!? Naruto!?" shocked Tienshinhan.
Piccolo raised his eyebrows and thought, 'It took them three weeks?'
Choazu raised his right hand almost as if he was in school. "Question!"
"What is it?" asked Kaio.
Chaozu pointed at Bubbles and asked, "If we catch that monkey, will you train us, Kaio-sama?"
'That's wishful thinking. After this, you have to train with Gregory. You'll train with me after all that is done. Understood?" replied Kaio. The Earthlings reply with their head nod. "All right." Then he looked at Piccolo who looked away from him. He looked at Bubbles and said, "Okay, run, Bubbles-kun!"
Bubbles began to run as Yamucha, Tienshinhan, and Chaozu chased him. "Wait up!"
Chaozu fell to the ground, and sighed, "I'll fly." Then he floated to chase Bubbles.
Kaio smiled, "Good luck! Now then…" As he turned, he noticed that Piccolo was missing. He turned around again, he was surprised to see that Piccolo had already caught the monkey with ease. "W- what the-!?"
Piccolo dragged Bubbles and dropped him in front of Kaio, and said, "Is this what you call training? This is laughable."
Kaio growled, "I don't remember giving you permission to participate in the training!" Yamucha, Tienshinhan, and Choazu walked up to Piccolo and breath heavily because of 10 times gravity.
Piccolo turned his back on Kaio and scowled, "Hmph! I don't wish to undertake any training under you if it undermines my own dignity," which made Kaio erupted with laughter. None of the warriors shared Kaio's enthusiasm for jokes.
Kaio giggled, "'Under'- take any training 'under' me… if it 'under'-mines your dignity…You made a triple, did you?" He continued to laugh and pointed at the Namekian warrior, "Piccolo, you passed the test. I will train you." Then he looked at Eartlings and sighed, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you all standing around for? Laugh! Laugh! That was funny! That was funny, right?"
Planet Namek- Vegeta vs Zarbon
Zarbon was tearing through the Namekian skies as he continued to search for the Dragon Balls. He sighed, "If only I had a Scouter, a village would be easy to find." Suddenly, he noticed a powerful energy approaching him and realized it was Vegeta. "That's… Vegeta!"
The two forces of Zarbon and Vegeta collided as they were bounced back from the energy that was emitted from their aura.
"Yo, it's been quite a long time, hasn't it, Zarbon-san?" greeted Vegeta. "I have disposed of Dodoria. Next, it's your turn."
Zarbon shocked, "What!? Y- you disposed of Dodoria?"
"Without any trouble," replied Vegeta.
"Unbelievable," impressed Zarbon.
Vegeta chuckled, "You'll find out once we go at it. You'll realize how strong I am."
"Vegeta, why are you turning against Freeza-sama?" asked Zarbon.
"It's a simple matter. I've never liked that Freeza bastard. Up until now, I've been pinned down by his power, and had no choice but to do as he said, but then I unexpectedly learned that I could gain eternal life."
"You mean the Dragon Balls."
"You think I'm about to let Freeza have them? Once I have obtained eternal life, my chance to beat Freeza will come along for sure."
Zarbon chuckled, "You fool. Do you think you can beat Freeza-sama with just eternal life?"
"It's too bad you don't have a Scouter. I have gained more power than you could imagine over my many battles," said Vegeta.
Zarbon scoffed, "You're the one who doesn't understand. Freeza-sama's ability far transcends even your level."
Vegeta growled, "I'm through with all of this pointless talk!" He raised his hand at Zarbon and chuckled, "I heard from Dodoria that Freeza is afraid of Saiyans. I'm going to show you that Saiyan power, right now!"
Zarbon smirked, "You really are full of yourself. What Freeza-sama was afraid of was the Saiyans banding together. You can't do anything all by yourself."
Vegeta snickered, "Well, let's see about that." He suddenly disappeared.
Zarbon punched to his right, but Vegeta reappeared and caught it. He tossed Zarbon into the sky, sending him sprawling.
Zarbon got a grip as he quickly recovered in mid. Vegeta disappeared, but he phased farther away from him. He put his hand forward with the other supporting it in a manner, then he charged an orange energy sphere and fired it in the form of an energy wave at Vegeta. The huge blast quickly approached Vegeta, who proceeded to knock it away, deflecting it with his hand. The blast left a tremendous explosion on the ground below and debris flew all over.
BOOM!
Zarbon became amazed at Vegeta's improved speed and skill. "He deflected it!" shocked Zarbon.
With Naruto and others
Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn and Dende watched the fight from afar. There was a blazing wave left over from Zarbon's blast.
Kuririn shocked, "Incredible!"
"It's a clash of Ki against Ki!" said Naruto.
"Vegeta and someone else are banging into each other!" said Sasuke.
"H- his opponent is probably the one who was at that Freeza guy's side. T- they're both monsters. There's no way I can square off against them. I hope the two of them end up flattening each other."
"All right… Hold on to me tight!" said Naruto. He quickly grabbed Dende. He glanced over his shoulder at Kuririn and Sasuke, and said, "Speed up, guys!" as he speeded toward the eldest Namek's house with Kuririn and Sasuke follow up. "This is our chance! We'll hurry to the Grand Elder while the two of them are fighting each other! If we fly as fast as we can, we'll get there a lot sooner! Let's go!"
Zarbon vs Vegeta
Vegeta elbowed Zarbon directly in the face, stunning him. Zarbon retaliated with a flurry of rapid kick. Prince of all Sayian still managed to dodge all his attacks and mocked, "What's the matter!? Zarbon-sama, of all people! Your movements make you look like you're standing still!"
Zarbon tried to kick him but he couldn't, and growled, "Damn it!" With the final kick to Vegeta, he disappeared and reappeared above Zarbon. He then flipped and rammed Zarbon downward, sending him into the ground. Zarbon gripped the ground as he slammed down and Vegeta appeared behind him, surprising Zarbon, only to kick him once again. Zarbon was pushed forward as he bit into the dirt.
Vegeta began to laugh uncontrollably, and declared, "To think that you'd be so helpless at this level!"
However, instead of acknowledging defeat, Zarbon began to snicker with an elegant tone. He was still on his knees and was facing ground as Vegeta's smile faded and Zarbon's smile became apparent. "You've surprised me. You have indeed made magnificent progress. But as a result," he turned to face Vegeta, slowly raising his head, "you have awakened my true power, which has been dormant for many years." As he laughed, the wind blew his long hair wildly, his eyes had a distinct glare, and he continued to smile at Vegeta.
Zarbon began to raise himself from the ground and he was wearing a wicked smile. Zarbon and Vegeta were staring at each other after their initial scuffle. The overconfident Vegeta boasted, "What? You say I've awakened your true power, which has been dormant for many years?"
Zarbon chuckled, "That's correct."
Vegeta began to laugh wildly, "That's a hilarious joke!"
Zarbon simply chuckled and responded, "I will tell you why I have let my true power lie dormant and unused before you die. In order to display my true power, I must transform myself. However, my transformed appearance is unattractive. As someone who prefers beauty, I cannot abide it. But I will choose to transform before I choose death."
Vegeta laughed, "Transform, you say? The way we Saiyans do? Those who are cornered will say the most absurd things out of desperation."
Zarbon turned around at Vegeta and smiled, "Unlike a Saiyan, I do not transform into something larger than is needed. My power just increases." He elegantly flicked his long hair as the wind hit his face. "Overwhelmingly so!"
Vegeta smirked, "Show me!"
Zarbon chuckled, "You need not ask. I will show it to you, now!" He transformed into a musclebound and beastly reptilian state, completely shocking Vegeta.
Vegeta was left in utter and complete shock, "W- what is this!?"
Zarbon's size increased as well as his muscular build and his skin became covered with noticeable scales, similar to that of a reptile.
"My appearance isn't the only thing that has transformed! Don't be too terrified by my power!" said Zarbon. He charged towards Vegeta and kneed him in his stomach. Then, he slapped Vegeta in the face down the ground, and kicked him up into the air. Finally, he grabbed him by his leg and swung him onto the ground. He then raised him up to brutally and relentlessly headbutted him repeatedly countless times.
With Naruto and others
Meanwhile, Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende were flying towards the eldest Namek's home. Naruto asked, "Dende, aren't we to the Grand Elder's place yet?"
"It's a little bit farther ahead," said Dende.
Kuririn sighed, "We have to do something while Vegeta and that other guy are fighting."
Sasuke looked around him and asked, "You know, I get the feeling that a lot of time has passed since we landed on this planet, but it doesn't look like the sun is setting one bit, huh? Why is that?"
"The sun doesn't go down," replied Dende. "After all, we have three suns, and they all come out in turn."
Kuririn looked behind him, and asked, "Then, you don't have night on your world?" then he looked up at another sun.
"No, we don't," said Dende.
"Wow! This planet doesn't have night! That's weird!" said Naruto. Then he looked down at Dende who he was still holding, and sighed, "Well, okay…"
Zarbon vs Vegeta
Zarbon continued beating the life out of Vegeta, throwing him into the sky and tossed him around like a rag doll.
Vegeta growled, "Dammit!" He stopped himself from knocking away and rocketed towards Zarbon.
Zarbon collided with Vegeta in midair with countless swift punches and kicks, until finally giving him the chance to fight back, although Vegeta did not land a single hit. They created a lot of shockwave as the land began to collapse. They bounced off from each other. Vegeta breathed heavily due to Zarbon's overwhelming power.
Suddenly, Zarbon charged toward Vegeta and kneed him in the gut before knocking him through the mountain. Vegeta got on his knees and glared up at the monster Zarbon. The beast descended to the ground with the smirk on his face.
Spaceship, Outer Space- With Goku
Goku was inside his spaceship training under fifty times Earth's normal gravity. He was practicing many high-speed techniques until deciding to take a break. He sighed, "That's my limit… I've got to have a little rest…"
Then he lied on the floor and chuckled, "Still, I've conquered this 50-times gravity a lot faster than I thought I would. Looks like that duel with Vegeta wasn't altogether useless. I wonder if Tienshinhan and those guys are training under Kaio-sama."
He thought about Piccolo, Chazou, Yamucha, and Tienshinhan's training on Kaio's Planet. He remembered when Kaio used his telepathy to speak to him and warning him to avoid Freeza at costs, claiming that he was an unbeatable opponent and the most powerful being in the universe. He also remembered about Bardock, his father, saying something about the Saiyan's history and Freeza…
Flashback Began
Bardock growled, "We were wiped by Freeza, because he feared that we, Saiyans, might be able to surpass Freeza!" then he finally turned his body and stared at Goku, "Kakarrot, Raditz probably told you the reason why you were sent to Earth. Let me tell you again, you were sent to destroy the Earth. That was your mission. I knew you wouldn't kill single Earthling."
"Hmph, you knew it?" asked Raditz while folding his arms.
However, Bardock ignored Raditz, and continued, "Kakarrot, my son! Carry out my will! You will avenge the Saiyans and your Planet Vegeta! Defeat Freeza!" demanded Bardock.
Flashback Ended
Goku narrowed his eyebrows and said, "I can't go resting now! All right!" As a result, knowing that such a powerful opponent existed, he was suddenly fueled with energy and continued training.
Kaio's Planet, Other World
Piccolo was meditating while Yamucha, Tienshinhan, and Chaozu went after Kaio's pet monkey, Bubbles. Tienshinhan raised the sledgehammer and shouted, "Hold it!" as he slammed the large sledgehammer on Bubbles, but the monkey jumped just in time to dodge in fear. The small planet was unbelievably shaking! They chased Bubbles again and shouted, "Hold it!"
As Kaio tried to eat lunch, but trio of Earthlings went past him and continued to chase the monkey. Suddenly, the monkey ran in front of Kaio then run away which scared him because Tienshinhan was about to hit him with the sledgehammer on the table as the food and himself were sent up into the sky.
"Hold it! Hold it!" cried Tienshinhan.
When Kaio went back to the chair, he miraculously caught all of food in his hand. "'Rice catch!' Get it? That was a great pun!" then he eventually laughed at one of his own pun again.
Planet Namek- Zarbon vs Vegeta
Vegeta jumped back and growled, "Dammit, I'm not about to lose!" Zarbon rocketed towards Vegeta and beating him up into the sky, then he backflip kicked Vegeta square in the jaw. He fired a purple blast onto Vegeta's stomach, sending him down the ground. Vegeta freed himself from the blast, and knocked onto the ground.
Zarbon threw a barrage of Ki blast, which made Vegeta run away in fear just to dodge, however, unfortunately, the explosion threw Vegeta away on the ground. Vegeta jumped and threw a blast at Zarbon, which he dodged and returned a blast at him. Vegeta flew just time to dodge Zarbon's blast.
Zarbon kneed Vegeta's stomach and propelling himself into the sky with back-flip kicks, with Vegeta's jaw on the receiving end, sending him flying further into the sky. He looked up and chuckled, "No matter how you might struggle, you cannot beat me!"
Vegeta and Zarbon rocketed themselves towards each other and clashed against each other.
With Naruto and others
Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, and Dende stop flying, shocked by the amount of power they detected from Zarbon. "Incredible!" shocked Kuririn.
"Even as far away as we are, I can feel the Ki from their battle," said Naruto.
"Unbelievable… They are fighting like a crazy! I can tell by that!" said Sasuke.
Zarbon vs Vegeta
Vegeta continued to battle Zarbon, and then they bounced off from each other. Suddenly, Zarbon charged him and got him in a choke hold. "My power now doesn't even compare to what it was before I transformed!" stated Zarbon.
Suddenly, Vegeta repeatedly elbowed him in the gut and struggled to get free from Zarbon's deadly grip. He managed to escape Zarbon's onslaught.
Vegeta leisurely descended to the ground and thought, 'I- it's no good… Even after I powered up on Earth…'
Zarbon followed him, as Vegeta was preparing to strike back, only to get aerial back-flip at his face. Then Zarbon kicked Vegeta in the gut, and grabbed his hair. He slapped his face around, then pummeled him by the head, sending him plummeting below at high velocity. He appeared behind Vegeta in midair and grabbed him, performing a headfirst pile-driver. "I'm not going to let you die easy!" said Zarbon.
Before they reached the ground, he tossed him into the ground, creating a massive crater using Vegeta's body. He looked down at the large crater and mocked, "Vegeta, is that all for you?"
The crater was suddenly filled with water. Zarbon chuckled, "You're not showing yourself, huh? Looks like you weren't able to move, and now you've drowned." He regressed to his normal form and said, "You did give me a hard time, and even forced me to take on my loathsome transformation. Now then, I guess I should go report this to Freeza-sama." As he left the devastated area behind, he believed he had successfully finished off the arrogant Saiyan.
Capsule House- With Sakura, Bulma and Gohan
Bulma sat on the couch and gave Sakura a haircut while Gohan was meditating on the floor. While she gave Sakura a haircut, she complained, "Why did I come to this planet, anyhow!? We can't get the Dragon Balls, and our spaceship has been wrecked!" When she finished cutting Sakura's hair, she smiled, "Now your hair is clean and fresh cut!"
Sakura looked at mirror and smiled, "Thank you. Now with my haircut, I don't have to worry if someone grabs my hair anymore. Thank you so much, Bulma-san!" Her pink hair was now very short.
Bulma smiled, "You're welcome." Then she looked down at Gohan whom was still mediating on the floor. She sighed, "I'm surprised that you can be so calm."
Gohan glanced over his shoulder at her and nodded, "It's just a little while longer. When Father gets here, he'll manage to do something."
Bulma sighed, "I hope Son-kun gets here soon." Then she looked up and frowned, "If I'm forced to stay cooped up in a place like this for too long, I'll go crazy!" Then she went to lie on the couch.
Sakura sat down on the couch, and sighed, "I wonder if Naruto-kun, Sasuke, and Kuririn-san have found that Grand Elder person."
With Naruto and others
"The Ki have subsided," said Kuririn.
Naruto nodded, "The fight is over."
"Which one of them won?" asked Dende.
Kuririn sighed, "I don't know."
"Whichever one of them won, it's all the same! Let's hurry!" said Sasuke.
Naruto nodded, "Yeah! We gotta hurry up!" as he grabbed Dende and resumed their flight to the eldest Namek's house.
Later
While Naruto and others were flying at higher speed, he looked at Dende and asked, "Which way? Should we just keep going straight like this?"
"Um, a little more to the left," said Dende. So they did and went to the left a bit more. He pointed at the tall rock and said, "There it is. You see that tall rock over there, right?"
Kuririn blinked and asked, "T- that one, huh?" As they finally arrive at the outside of the elder's house, they both flew in front. "Whew, that sure was a long way."
Dende smiled at the house and pointed at it, "Grand Elder-sama is inside that house."
"I'm surprised it's still even here. As conspicuous a location as this is, it's only a matter of time before those bad guys find it," mumbled Kuririn. They landed on the tall rock next to the house.
Sasuke sighed, "Even more, I'm surprised Vegeta or that Freeza bastard didn't see the tall rock. It was very easy to find, if you ask me."
"He hasn't already been killed, right?" asked Naruto.
"He couldn't be…" said Dende.
Suddenly, they saw a Namekian warrior who emerged from the house. Dende smiled happily, "Nail-san! Thank goodness! You're all right!"
Nail took a very similar appearance to Piccolo. He donned a blue vest and a white scarf around his neck. His chest and stomach were mostly exposed. He wore a blue belt (similar to that of Piccolo's) with white pants (also similar to Piccolo's, only a different color,) and brown pointed boots (which were identical to Piccolo's and the other Namekians).
Kuririn chuckled nervously, 'H- he looks exactly like Piccolo!'
'He looked like Piccolo, except for the design of those clothes,' thought Naruto.
"Glad you're here, Dende," greeted Nail. "Visitors, Grand Elder-sama is roughly familiar with the course of events."
Dende ran to him and looked up at him. "Then, Grand Elder-sama does know what is happening?"
Naruto chuckled, "T- that will spare us the time of explaining, then."
"All of you, come inside. Grand Elder-sama will see you," said Nail.
"Um, if he already knows what is generally going on, why hasn't he left this unsafe location?" asked Dende.
"Grand Elder-sama has grown too aged. He is aware that his death is approaching. The only thing he could do is to remain here quietly, with me here protecting him," replied Nail.
"I had heard that his death was near, but I didn't know it was so close," shocked Dende.
Nail pointed at house and said, "Come, inside."
'That guy is capable. I can sense quite a bit of power from him, compared to the other Namekians,' thought Sasuke.
As they went inside the house, Nail looked up, and said, "Up." He floated to next level.
Dende nodded, "Right," as he followed up to Nail.
As remained three rose one level upward into the house, Nail spoke up, "Grand Elder-sama, Dende and a visitors.
Kuririn, Naruto and Sasuke became surprised when they saw Grand Elder. 'H- he's huge!'
"Welcome. One of you are an Earthlings, and two of you are an Elementians, correct? First, I would like to offer my gratitude for rescuing my child Dende here. Thank you," said Grand Elder.
Kuririn waved him off and chuckled, "N- not at all. We didn't do anything all that great."
Naruto nodded and smiled, "Sasuke and I weren't there at all anyways. So we didn't do anything anyways."
Sasuke looked up at Grand Elder and thought, 'For a Namekian, he is really huge. He's not just huge, but he's really aged very well. Well, that would explain he's Grand Elder anyways.'
With Vegeta
Meanwhile, a winged creature was flying around the place where Vegeta and Zarbon fought. As the creature decided to rest atop the water, Vegeta's hand came out from underneath, trying to grab into the air, and yanked the creature under, suffocating it.
As the feathers floated on the water, the bruised and battered Vegeta emerged, and declared, "That miserable Zarbon! T- this isn't over yet! I'm going to become even stronger! And then, I'm going to defeat both Zarbon and Freeza! I- I'm not about to turn over the Dragon Balls to anyone!" Then he fainted from exhaustion again.
Grand Elder Guru's House
Naruto, Sasuke, Kuririn, Dende and Nail were waiting for Grand Elder to say something. Dende looked at them and asked, "C- could he have fallen asleep?"
Kuririn sighed, "I don't know… U- um…"
"I couldn't tell if he is actually sleeping because his eyes are closed all the times!" said Naruto.
Sasuke sighed, "Maybe…"
Grand Elder finally spoke up, "Because of those villains, most of my children across this world have been killed." He coughed, "This is grievous. They appear to be after the Dragon Balls."
Naruto nodded, "Yeah…"
Grand Elder sighed, "To think that this would happen because of these Balls of hope, testament to the wisdom and power of the Namekians…"
Kuririn looked up and asked, "Excuse me for coming right to the point, but could I ask you to let me borrow the Dragon Ball over your head for a short while? I absolutely will not turn it over to them! I promise you!"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah! I promised you too! I would never go back on my own words, because that's my Nindo!"
Grand Elder looked down at them and asked, "You are gathering the Dragon Balls too, are you?"
Kuririn nodded, "Yes. We would like to bring our dead friends back to life."
"I ask on my behalf, as well," pleaded Dende. "Grand Elder-sama, if these people's friends come back to life, they may be able to defeat those bad people."
"How do you know of the Dragon Balls?" asked Grand Elder.
"We had them on Earth as well," replied Sasuke.
Grand Elder shocked, "What did you say!?"
"Long ago," Kuririn explained, "during this planet's crisis, there was a Namekian who made his way to Earth. That person created our Dragon Balls."
"Is that so? I remember now. Katattsu's child. What a surprise," said Grand Elder. "Who would have thought that he would arrive safely on Earth? That child was a Dragon-type prodigy, who was capable of creating Dragon Balls."
Kuririn looked up at Grand Elder and said, "He was killed along with our other friends by the Saiyan Vegeta, who is now here."
"The Saiyans are indeed terrible. That child prodigy, huh? This Saiyan wouldn't happen to be a Super Saiyan, would he?" asked Grand Elder.
"Super Saiyan?" confused Naruto and Sasuke in unison.
"Huh? W- what's that?" confused Kuririn.
Grand Elder looked down at Kuririn and said, "Gentleman from Earth, could I get you to come over here?" Kuririn came beside him as Grand Elder placed his arm on Kuririn's head. "Please allow me to probe into your past a little."
Kuririn confused, "Past?"
Grand Elder began to feel Kuririn's past just by absorbing Kuririn's thoughts. He shocked, "How can this be!? Once evil made its way inside him, he split into two!?"
Kami and King Piccolo were originally one being and they separated out of anguish from a grueling internal struggle. Grand Elder could see that King Piccolo attacked the city and enjoyed killing people on Earth. King Piccolo was laughing upon killing the people while Kami was very angry with him.
Grand Elder sighed, "So in order for him to become Kami, he couldn't have even the slightest of evil feelings within him, then? And as a result, the evil Piccolo was born. But what a shame. To think that he should divide the uncanny power he was born with in half. If he had become one, as he was before, he may not have had to die." He removed his hand from Kuririn's head.
Kuririn looked up at him and confused, "Become one?"
"What do you mean by becoming one?" asked Naruto.
"Well, I guess it would be all right. Your desires are pure, and the courage you had displayed up to now is greatly esteemed," said Grand Elder. He reached for the Dragon Ball over his head, and handed it to Kuririn. "I will give this Dragon Ball to you."
Dende smiled, "Terrific!"
Sasuke smirked, "Good!"
"YAHOO!" cheered Naruto.
Kuririn grabbed the Dragon Balls and nodded, "Thank you very much." Then he smiled, "So this is a Dragon Ball from the homeland. It sure is huge."
Capsule House- With Sakura, Gohan, and Bulma
Bulma sat next to Sakura. Sakura sat next to Gohan. Bulma was brushing her hair and sighed, "Things sure are slow, huh?"
Sakura got lost in thought, 'Naruto-kun… Since when I am starting to like him? I didn't even realize that I like him since he returned to rescue me before that Nappa guy could stomp me to death. What happened to old me when I used to like Sasuke? What's going on? Maybe I was blinded by Sasuke's appearance, because he was too cool. I should've known from the beginning. Naruto already proved that he is a true ninja. Now I feel bad for Naruto-kun. I used to pick up on him. Maybe…I will apologize to him when he comes back. But how do I can confess to him that I like him? He probably thought I still have a crush on him. I don't think I can confess to him at time like this. He probably doesn't have time to talk to me since Planet Namek is in danger right now. Nah...'
Sakura rubbed her hair and groaned, 'No… confess to him today… I'm not sure when I can tell him… Earth… or Namek… I don't know what to do!'
Suddenly, Gohan got up, startling them. Bulma and Sakura jumped up and took in defense. "AHH! What's wrong, Gohan-kun!?" asked Sakura.
"Is someone here!?" asked Bulma.
Gohan shook his head and said, "No, I'm bored, so I thought I would do some training."
Bulma relieved, "Oh…"
"Don't scare me like that!" scowled Sakura. "I thought someone was going to break and enter in here!"
Gohan frowned, "I'm sorry…"
Grand Elder Guru's House
Kuririn was overjoyed for acquiring the Dragon Ball. He looked at it and smiled, "Six more to go, huh? I'll do my best."
"Yeah! I can't wait! Once we get all seven Dragon Balls, we will be able to revive our dead friend!" said Naruto.
Sasuke chuckled, "Yeah, then the Earth's Dragon Balls would be revived as well."
"Still, I doubt you will have your wish granted," said Grand Elder.
Kuririn confused, "Huh? Why not?"
"What do you mean, Grand Elder-sama?" asked Naruto.
"We can't have our wish granted, you say?" asked Sasuke.
"Unfortunately, my life will only hold out for another few days," said Grand Elder. Everyone was in shocked. He asked, "Can you get the Balls that those bad men have already gathered away from them before then?"
Kuririn frowned, 'I would think that would be impossible. Once I die...'
Naruto nodded, "YEAH! I will get all of Balls before then! I will not let them get that before us! I promised!"
Grand Elder suddenly coughed hardly. Nail and Dende panicked and were about to help him, but Grand Elder stopped them. He sighed, "…the Dragon Balls will also expire."
"It's okay! That can't be helped! For the time being, I will guard this Ball with my life. That's far better than allowing those guys to gain eternal life, after all," promised Kuririn.
"If we ever let them gain eternal life, the universe would be doomed forever!" said Naruto.
Grand Elder smiled, "If you'd be so kind. I cannot guard it anymore with the power I have left."
"We will, for sure!" said Naruto.
"You have such outstanding power. It's such a waste that you still have power lying dormant," said Grand Elder.
"Power lying dormant?" confused Kuririn.
"What do you mean, 'power lying dormant?'" confused Naruto.
"Don't tell me that we still have a power hidden?" asked Sasuke.
"I will awaken that power for you," said Grand Elder. He placed his arm on Kuririn's head once more
Kuririn chuckled, "I couldn't possibly have any power left. I've thoroughly trained myself, after all. I'm beyond my limits now as it is."
Grand Elder's hand began to glow as a ray of light shined around Kuririn's body. Naruto, Sasuke, Dende and Nail watched as Kuririn's body surged with a blazing white aura.
"WHAT!?" shocked Sasuke.
"Awesome Ki! Your Ki is suddenly raising now, Kuririn-san!" shocked Naruto.
"Please escape from their clutches somehow," said Grand Elder.
Kuririn shocked, "My power… my power…" He found great joy in the magnitude of strength that he had acquired. "My power has shot up! This is awesome! I- I don't believe it! It feels like I've been reborn! Thank you so much!"
Sasuke widened his eyes and shocked, 'What was that!? Grand Elder raised Kuririn past his limit to his power! Damn! I need a power! POWER! I need him to give me a power right now!' Then he looked up at Grand Elder and asked, "Give me a power! Can you give me a power?"
"I will awaken that power for you, too. Please come here, so I can awaken it for you," said Grand Elder.
Sasuke began to smirk and walked next to Grand Elder. "Okay, I'm ready."
Grand Elder placed his hand on Sasuke's head, but there was something definitely wrong about him. "It seems that I have a problem. I'm not sure whether I should awaken your power dormant or not."
Sasuke shocked, "What? What do you mean? Why can't you give me a power?"
"You have a lot of vengeances that held inside you," Grand Elder said. Sasuke began to scowl more. He sighed, "However… Before I make a decision, I will probe you into past. It might take a while."
Sasuke sighed, "Fine…"
Grand Elder began to probe Sasuke in the past…
Flashback Began- Age 757, July 22- Konogakure, Element
At the Uchiha Clan's Estate, seven years old Sasuke walked up to Itach, and smiled, "Brother. Can you help me out with my shuriken training today after school?"
Itachi was a young man with onyx eyes, black hair with bangs that farmed his face, and low-tied ponytail which reached down into his upper back. His most distinguishing features were the long, pronounced tear-troughs under his eyes. His casual clothes consisted of a black shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back, and pants with a weapons pouch strapped to his back.
Itachi sat on the small stair and glanced over his shoulder at his younger brother. He sighed, "I'm busy. Ask Father."
Sasuke frowned, "But he said that you're better with shurikens… And I think that, too. You always treat me like I'm a nuisance, Brother.'
Itach gestured him come at him. Sasuke immediately walked up to him, but Itach tapped onto his forehead with his index and middle fingers. Sasuke blinked, "Ouch."
"Forgive me, Sasuke," said Itachi."Maybe another time." Then he stood up, and sighed, "I have no time to help you out today."
Sasuke rubbed his forehead and sighed, "You always say, 'Forgive me, Sasuke,' and hit my forehead. And you don't ever help me out, not just today.' But Itach ignored him and walked out of door. Sasuke simply smiled at him because he always loved his brother even if he couldn't get trained from him.
Later
Sasuke sat next to Father on the floor besides the lower table. His father drank the hot tea. Sasuke looked him and sighed, "Father. Does Brother not care about me?"
Sasuke's father gently placed his cup of hot tea on the table and sighed, "He's a bit different. He doesn't like interacting with people."
Sasuke's father had short, black hair that reached to his shoulders and onxy-coloured eyes, with visible creases below them made more pronounced whether he adopted a stern look (both of which Itach inherited from him). He wore a simple kimono with grey pants which had the clan's symbol on the back.
"Why?" asked Sasuke.
"I don't know. Even I, his father, can't understand him," said Sasuke's father.
Sasuke's mother handed some kind of lunchbox or something that wrapped around to Sasuke and smiled, "Here, Sasuke. Your lunch. If you want to practice with your shuriken, I'll help you out after you come back."
Sasuke picked the lunchbox up and sighed, "It's not practice, it's training." Then he walked out of door and smiled at his parents, "Bye!"
He walked the path of villages and noticed that the old woman who swept his broom on the concrete. "Sasuke-chan, are you heading to school?" asked the old woman.
Sasuke nodded and smiled, "Yes."
"I just saw Itachi-chan a while ago. My, has he grown up. He has become an excellent ninja. He graduated the academy at the age of seven with top grades… And he moved up to Chuunin of ten, right?" asked the old woman.
Sasuke nodded and smiled, "He was able to use his Sharingan when he was eight."
The old woman looked up at the icon of Uchiha Clan and smiled, "Yes. I'm proud that he's part of the Uchiha Clan. Oh yes, holw old are you now, Sasuke-chan?"
Sasuke frowned and thought, 'I'm the same age as when Brother graduated, but I…"
"What's wrong?" asked the old woman.
"Hey!" cried the voice. An old man who showed up next to old woman and smiled, "Stop talking about those stupid things."
"Hey, honey," greeted the old woman.
The old man looked down at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, you and Itachi are both of the Uchiha clan… A noble family in the Village of Konoha. Be confident about yourself. You can become a great ninja like Itachi one day."
Sasuke nodded, "Yes." Then he ran off on way to academy and yelled, "Bye!"
The old man smiled, "Do your best!"
"Be sure to study hard!" said the old woman.
Ninja Academy
In the class, he read the book and thought, 'Yes, I'm part of the Uchiha clan like my brother.'
Later, he would throw a shuriken straight at the tree to practice his skills, or training, that's what Sasuke said to his own mother. 'I won't lose to Brother,' thought Sasuke.
Later that night
During the full moon, Sasuke rushed on way back to home and thought, 'I've stayed out for a while.' When he looked up, he was frozen. He stared into someone's Sharingan who was on the top of lighting pole. He stopped running and looked up, someone disappeared!
'What was that? I thought someone was there…' thought Sasuke. He widened his eyes, and looked around him. 'The lights are out… It's not time to sleep yet.' He ran around the corner and shocked, 'This is…'
There were blood on the floor, the Uchiha Clan's balls were slicked in half, and a lot of dead people were on the concrete in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke shocked, "What is this?" He then rushed to see what's going. 'What's going on?" wondered Sasuke. Suddenly, he noticed the old man and old woman he just spoke to earlier morning on the floor. He walked to check them and shocked. They were dead. "Shizu… Auntie Shizu…" shocked Sasuke.
He looked at his home and worried, "Father… Mother…" He went inside the house and opened the door. He did not see them waiting for him inside the house. He sniffed, "Father? Mother? Are you here?"
Before he could go any further in the house, he had to remove his shoes and put away on the floor next to the small stair. He dropped his bag and went into the kitchen room. They were not there. They had to check the living room, but they weren't there as well. Suddenly, he heard the screaming.
He ran outside and went to his parent's room. He was so trembled in fear and worried if his parents might had dead too. He didn't want them to dead. He reached for the door, but he was so scared to open the door. "Someone's in there…" trembled Sasuke. He breathed trying to stop himself from hyperventilation. He didn't want to go into the door. He worried that his parents might have died, too.
He closed his eyes and thought, 'Move…' His legs were so trembled that he could not move. 'Move…' Then he finally took a step and reached for his door once again. 'Move!'
Finally, he leisurely opened the door and looked down. Sure enough, he was right. His parents were dead too! His father's body was on top of his mother's body. There were a lot of bloods on the floor. He shocked, "Father! Mother!" He ran to them.
Suddenly, he looked up, and someone walked towards him from the shadow. He walked backward in fear. Someone's eyes were opened and it was Sharingans in his eyes! It was Itachi!
He shocked, "Brother! Brother, Father and Mother were… Why? Why… Who did this?" Suddenly, the shuriken swooped past him. His left shoulder was only cut and bleeds a bit. He held his left shoulder in pain. "Brother, what are you…" He looked into his older brother's eyes. "What are you doing, Brother?"
"Foolish little brother," muttered Itachi. He closed his eyes then reopened his eyes with his new Sharingan and shouted, "Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Suddenly, he was outside the house. He looked around and confused. He was not sure what's going on. He remembered that he was in his parent's house, but now he was suddenly outside.
Suddenly, he saw the members of Uchiha Clan fell to their death one after another. He tried to move and shocked, 'My legs…' Other members of Uchiha Clan fell to their death again! One of Uchiha Clan member tried to run but was in vain and died. He saw more members died one after one! The blood was spilled out one after one! The massacre would not be stopped and continued to butcher every single of Uchiha members!
He clenched his head in agony and cried, "Stop! Brother! Don't' show me this!" He realized that it was the past! Itachi revealed himself in front of Sasuke. He realized it was Itachi! Itachi was the one who butchered the Uchiha Clan. "Why… Why did you do this, Brother? No… No…
More members of Uchiha Clan charged towards Itachi and attempted to kill him, only to get pushed away and died.
Then Sasuke looked around and saw that the old man sheltered the old woman who glared at Itachi. "Mister, Auntie…" worried Sasuke.
Suddenly, the old man and old woman fell to their death.
Now, he was in his parent's room once again, but it was still past! He saw that Itachi drew his swords and was about to swing his sword. Sasuke sniffed, "Father, Mother…" He could see that his father and mother were on his knees. "Don't, Brother! Don't do that to Father and Mother…"
Itachi swung his katana as the bloods spilled out.
Back to the present, Sasuke fell to his knees and screamed, "AHHHHHHH!" He was lying on the ground and leaked the saliva from his mouth on the floor. He couldn't believe that his brother really did kill his own family! He looked up at his dead parents, and then moved his pupils towards his older brother. He glared up at Itachi with the hatred in his eyes. Well, a little hatred.
Itachi needed to pay for what he'd done! He massacred his own clan! Why did he have to kill them!? For what!? He did not have to kill them! What did their parents do to him!? "Why… Why did you…"
"To see what I was capable of," replied Itachi.
Sasuke bared his teeth in anger and growled, "What you were capable of? That was it? You killed everyone for that reason?"
Itachi slowly closed his eyes and sighed, "It is important."
Sasuke leisurely got on his knees and glared at Itachi. "What the hell…" Suddenly, he charged towards his own older brother and shouted, "Don't screw around!" as he tried to attack Itachi, only to get punched in the gut. He fell to the floor in pain. He slowly lifted his head up and stared at his dead father and dead mother.
Why did they have to die? His own brother killed them just to see what he's capable of. That was stupid! That was really stupid of him to do like that!
Sasuke began to grieve over his parents' death. Itach stepped next to Sasuke. He looked up at his older brother and trembled, 'I'm scared… I'm scared!' He quickly ran away from him and left the room.
He ran around other building and continued to flee in fear. He was crying while running away. He shouted, "Don't kill me!" When he opened his eyes, he saw that Itachi stood in front of him. He stopped running and stared at his older brother.
"Don't kill me…" pleaded Sasuke.
Itachi sighed, "You are not even worth killing. Foolish little brother… If you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me… And survive in an unsightly way. Run. Run and cling to life."
Flashback Ended
"I see… Your Clan was massacred by your own brother, right?" asked Grand Elder.
Sasuke widened his eyes and looked up at Grand Elder. "How did you know?" shocked Sasuke.
"Like I said, I can probe you into past. Now I know anything about you. I cannot decide if I should power you up or not. You have some good side and bad side. You have good side such as: You want to save my people, you do care towards your comrades or friends, and you want to kill the terrible Saiyan and the evil tyrant. For bad side: You want to get Dragon Balls for your own selfish reason, and you want to have your revenge on your brother for murdering your clan. I'm not sure if I should awaken your powers." said Grand Elder. Sasuke began to frown. "However, on the second thought, if I power you up, then there's possibility chance that we might save this Namek. I might regret this decision. I shall awaken your power dormant now." He had released Sasuke's dormant energy.
Sasuke widened his eyes and looked at his hands. He smirked, 'That's great! Now I have a power! Now I have this power! I can definitely kill Itachi! At last, I got this power! POWER!'
Grand Elder looked down at Naruto and said, "Come here so I can awaken your hidden power as well." Naruto only reply with his head nod and walked next to him. He placed his hand on Naruto's head. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You used to have demon fox inside you. Were you a former jinchuriki?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I was a jinchuriki until I died on Earth for very first time."
"You have a lot of power dormant lies in you even more than them I just had awakened. I shall release your huge hidden power right now," said Grand Elder.
Grand Elder's hand began to glow as a ray of light shined around Naruto's body. Finally, Naruto's body surged with a unbelievably large blazing white aura.
Kuririn widened his eyes and shocked, "Incredible! What a unbelievable power you have, Naruto!"
Naruto cheered, "INCREDIBLE! My power is even rising higher and higher! I probably should be able to beat Vegeta!"
Sasuke clenched his fists and thought angrily, 'What!? When did he get all of this power!? No! HE should be weakling! Nobody will be stronger than me! Not especially you, Naruto!'
Grand Elder sighed, "No…" everyone looked up at him in confusion. "I don't think you can beat the Saiyan just yet. Not yet. You are still below the Saiyan's level of Ki right now. "
Naruto shocked, "What? But how?"
"You will know once you see him again," said Grand Elder.
Kuririn cleared his throat and began, "Um…Can you call forth anyone's power? Say, even a little kid's?"
Grand Elder smiled, "As long as there is dormant power within them, it is possible, whomever they may be."
"I- it won't shorten your life if you do it too much, will it?" asked the worried Kuririn.
"All I do is provide the occasion. It has nothing to do with my life," said Grand Elder.
"C- could we bring another two of my friends here?" asked Kuririn. "I am positive that one of them has an incredible amount of power lying dormant."
"Bring them here. The more strong just men we have, the better," said Grand Elder.
Kuririn nodded and smiled, "Right! We'll go bring them right now! Let's go, guys!" Before he could leave, he looked down at Dragon Ball that he was holding right now. "U- uh… as for this…"
"Please take it with you," said Grand Elder. "I am leaving the future of this world and the universe to you."
Kuririn nodded and looked at the Namekian child. "Dende, wait here. We'll go get Gohan and Sakura, and bring them right back here."
Dende nodded, "P- please be careful."
"Don't worry. We will be fine," said Naruto. "Let's go!" Sasuke, Kuririn and he flew out of hole and headed for the cave in such an incredible speed.
