Note: Thanks all, for the pouring of support for this story. I'll try to keep up with the quality so that you all can keep being entertained. Plus, while I'd have loved to post this on Naruto's birthday, the work wasn't done by then, unfortunately.

.

In the skies of planet Namek, two figures were in the middle of a clash of fists.

One was the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta.

The other was the human-shaped 'God' Naruto Uzumaki.

And as Vegeta launched kicks and strikes at his target, getting even more frustrated with each lack of connection, Naruto simply hummed to himself as his body shifted out of the way of every punch and kick sent.

When Naruto appeared behind Vegeta the prince stopped his next strike and looked around in confusion but before he could do that for long, the blond spun the Saiyan's body around and lightly flicked the said Saiyan's forehead with his middle finger causing the Saiyan prince to flinch in shock.

"Is this the full power of the Prince of all Saiyans?" the blond taunted. "Come on, there's gotta be more in the tank 'cause you were yapping about wanting to be the Supreme Ruler of the Universe so at least you should have the power to back it up, or is that all just some pipe dream?"

"Shut up!" Vegeta shouts as he links his fingers above his head, slammed the hands down on the body of the blond, and watched as it- *crash* -slammed into the ground beneath but instead of seeing his opponent on the ground flat, as the smoke died down, he saw said opponent looking up at him with his two knees bent, and a facial expression that annoyed the Prince even further than he was. "Ugh! I can't believe I'm saiyin' this but you're more annoying than that clown, Kakarot!"

"Who's Kakarot? Is it someone I know?" Naruto tilts his head. "And I'm annoying?" He crossed his hands over his chest. "Well that's not very nice; what happened to wanting me to join you in Universal Conquest, or something?"

Vegeta took a deep breath. "Believe me..."He spread his hands apart from his body and started charging his Ki. "I realise now, how much of a mistake that was; Big Bang Flash!" His shout was accompanied by a bright flash of light from the blue wave of energy that shot out from his hands as he brought them together, and in front of him.

Naruto was simply inspecting the nails of his left finger with a bored look on his face; and when the attack reached him, he simply raised his right hand and used it to completely absorb any and all traces of the powerful Wave of Energy until nothing was left.

He was still inspecting his fingernails.

"Is that it?" Naruto looked up at the wide eyed Vegeta. "No, seriously, is that it? 'Cause if so, well…" he aimed four of his right fingers at the Prince. "I've seen better."

With that, the attack sent by the Saiyan was returned, twice as powerful, back to its spiky haired sender and before he could do anything to react and unsurprisingly it hit.

*!FWOOSH!* *!BOOM!*

And unlike with blue eyed blond, when the Saiyan Prince hit the ground, he was heavily and badly injured.

…Chapter Two: Branching Actions…

.

Krillin and Bulma, startled, jumped at the sudden appearance of the blue eyed blond in front of him.

"Yo!" Naruto greets with a single hand wave. "How's it going?"

"How's it going?" Krillin returned in surprise. "How's it going?! You just wiped out Vegeta easily, and this is the same Vegeta who Goku barely won against.. the same Vegeta my friends fought against and died and they're some of the strongest people I know. How strong are you?!"

"I don't know," Naruto shrugs. "Pretty strong I guess. I mean, I'm sure I can take on most people on this planet, including this Frieza."

"Vegeta? Sure, especially with how easy you made it look..." Krillin replied, agreeing with at least that part of the conversation. "But Frieza? I may not be able to sense your Ki so I can't tell how strong you really are, but Frieza's in a whole other ball park, and I know that what I felt is only a drop in the ocean of what he probably has in reserve. I doubt there's anyone on this planet that could take him."

"He says he can take him, Krillin and after what we saw him do to Vegeta, I say we should believe him." Bulma defended, annoyed at the shorter males lack of faith; she then looked at the unconscious body of the Prince and frowned. "Speaking of which, what are we going to do with him? Leave him there for someone to find?"

"Oh," Naruto grinned. "Leave that to me."

With that said, he then brought his right hand up to his chest and materialised a small scroll from out of nothing, an action that startled the two watching; and, ignoring the expressions he received from the two Earthlings, he suddenly appeared next to the knocked out body, tapped it with the the scroll's tip, and watched as the body of the Saiyan Prince - almost one second later - was sucked up and vanished.

"There, done." Naruto says with a wide smirk after appearing in front of the still shocked Bulma and Krillin with the purple scroll, now containing Vegeta's body, in his hand. "No need to worry about what happens to Vegeta's body now."

Krillin and Bulma stared, "Um…"

"You're wondering what just happened, aren't ya?" Naruto understood immediately and at the nod he received, he continued. "That's easy. I just sealed Vegeta's body in this scroll here so that I'd know where it is at all times." with that, he flicked his fingers and the scroll disappeared. "I wouldn't think hard about it. It's just a technique I got from home and improved on."

"Well, aren't you just full of surprises, big guy?" Bulma grinned at the spiky haired blond. "Well, I don't mind. It just means that there's more for me to find out."

"Speaking of surprises-" Naruto tilted his head in a seemingly random direction. "-there's someone flying this way at incredible speeds with a Ki Signature very similar to Goku's and I'd say just about the same strength as you." he was looking down at the shorter male as he spoke. "Anyone you know?"

"Similar to Goku? That's Goha-wait…" Krillin, stopping before he finished his sentence, shot the spiky haired blond a narrowed eye look. "Just about the same strength as me? But he's just a kid and I had my potential unlocked by Guru! I'm not Yamcha, God damn it!"

"Don't look at me, little guy." Naruto shrugged, mentally cackling loudly at the diss to the black haired male on King Kai's planet. "I'm just stating it as It is."

And, before Krillin could respond to that, a child in a bowl cut, wearing a purple sleeveless gi with a red sash around its waist, and a pair of brown, pointed shoes, appeared and landed next to Bulma, Naruto, and the bald martial artist.

"Hey guys, guess wha-" this new arrival was none other than Gohan; he stopped before he could finish his sentence, and as he noticed the unfamiliar blond. "Um, hello?"

"Sup little guy?" Naruto greeted with an eye smile and a single hand wave. "How's it going?"

"Um…" Gohan looked towards Krillin who smiled, and replied, "Relax Gohan, he's with us."

"Gohan, huh?" Naruto grinned, finally realising why the Ki felt so familiar. He then crouched down to meet the boy's coal eyes. "Yeah, I can definitely see the similarities; you're Goku's kid, eh?"

"Um, yes?" Gohan blinked, tilting his head in confusion. "You know my dad? Mr…"

"Naruto." the blue eyed blond replied. "Naruto Uzumaki; and yeah I do. We got to know each other a while back. Y' know, he won't stop talking about you when he was training with me back in King Kai's place."

"All you need to know is that he's on our side and he effortlessly took on Vegeta and came out on top with no scratches; a win win for us." Krillin states to the Halfbreed Saiyan. "But we have more important things to focus on right now, so worry about that later."

"Right!" Gohan nodded resolutely after a little moment of hesitation before facing the blue eyed blond, placing his hands together, and politely bowing. His mother instructed him to do this when meeting new people. "Pleased to meet you Mr. Naruto, I'm Son Gohan; I hope we can be good friends."

"Ditto, kid." Naruto replied, amused at how different from his father Gohan was. "And trust me, the pleasure's all mine."

And it was at that moment that Gohan noticed something else.

"Um, Krillin-san," he states, catching the martial artist's attention. "You're a lot stronger than when we got here. What happened?"

"Before that, where's the Dragon Ball, Gohan?" Bulma interrupted Krillin before he was about to answer. "Weren't you able to find it with the Radar?"

"Oh, thanks for reminding me Bulma; I did!" Gohan grinned excitedly. "But guess what: I found five of the other Dragon Balls unattended, too!"

Krillin's eyes bulged in excitement. "Really!?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" Gohan nodded, the speed of which showed that his excitement was ever growing. "I hid them nearby so that someone wouldn't happen to see me flying with them by accident. We're one step closer to getting our wish, guys!"

"What do you mean one step closer? We have all seven!" Bulma whooped excitedly. "Krillin was able to find a Dragon Ball where he took that Namekian kid. Finally! And here I thought we won't get anywhere with the things going on with this planet."

"All seven?" Gohan blinked, "Krillin, you found a Dragon Ball?"

"Yup!" Krillin boasted, thumbing his nose. "And that's not the only thing I got from there." he grins. "You asked why I got stronger? Well, that's why: Guru has this special technique that allows him to bring out the latent potential of anyone he wants to; which reminds me," here, he gained a serious look. "Gohan, Bulma, we need to get you guys to Guru's place as soon as possible, and Goku too when he gets here!"

"I can help with that." Naruto states, drawing the attention of the Earthlings back to him. "At least, now that I know where to look properly… I can teleport you guys to Guru's place in an instant. Heck, I can probably teleport Goku from wherever he is to Namek if you guys want him to be here as quickly as possible."

"Wait, you can teleport?" Krillin blinked. He frowned, seconds later. "If you could do that, then why didn't you teleport me and Dende to the Elder's place? Heck, why didn't you teleport me to Bulma when we were done with Guru?"

"One, you didn't ask." Naruto pointed out, and that earned him a sheepish look from the martial artist. "And two, like I said before, I need to know where I'm going or have a presence to lock on to if I want to be precise."

"Oh," Krillin scratched the back of his head and looked away sheepishly. "Right."

"So, what are we gonna do?" Bulma asked. "We have all Seven Dragon Balls. We can make our wish as soon as we want… or, we go to this Guru's place to have our, what, potential unlocked? I still don't know how that works."

"Trust me, you'll understand once it happens to you." Krillin stated. "I say we have our potential unlocked. The Dragon Balls are safe and Frieza doesn't have a way to track them. Last time, he needed to interrogate the villages to get the balls. He doesn't have that now, and we have both the Dragon Balls, and the Dragon Radar... as far as I'm concerned, we're safe."

"Just for that, if something happens, I'm blaming you." Bulma deadpanned. She looked at Gohan. "What about you kid? Potential or Wish?"

"Well, I want what Krillin got," Gohan stated in response. "It looks like it'll help in the long run. So I'll go for potential, please."

"Two out of four," Bulma shrugged. "And with me leaning on the former, I guess that means we go to Guru's. So big guy, you're up."

"Got it!" Naruto placed the index and middle finger of his right hand on his forehead. "All you gotta do is place your hand on me. I'll handle the rest." Gohan and Krillin rested their hands on Naruto's leg and back. Bulma threw her hands around his neck and flushed her tits on his chest with a smirk; the blond blinked. "Not exactly what I said, but that works too."

A second later, the four vanished.

.

Somewhere else on the planet, meanwhile, as our heroes moved to Guru's place, a certain space emperor stood in front of the see-through glass of his ship.

'Run as hard as you can prince Vegeta...' He held a glass of fine wine to his chest and as he admired the view of the soon to be dead planet with three suns from the hull damage done to his ship by the rogue prince, he took a sip of his very expensive drink. 'Because when the Ginyu force arrives with my new special scouters, your life will be forfeit, regardless of how useful you may have been to me over the years. I'm not about to let you get in my way for my wish.'

And as he continued mulling to himself, his attention was caught by specks of light, five of them, that caused him to smirk.

"Speak of the Devil." he paused. "Or, in this case, I guess I should say Devils."

With that, he finished his drink and left his current quarters.

.

Moments later, the Emperor was seen floating out of his ship as five individuals, accompanied by background music, landed in front of him and on the roof of his ship.

"Men," one shouted. "Introductions." then he does a pose "Ginyu!"

"Jeice!" another replies; a third poses and replies, "Burter!"

"Guldo!" the fourth posed; and the fifth replied, "Recoome!"

"And together, we are…" at once, the group snapped to a well rehearsed group pose and shouted, in unison. "SANJOU! GINYU TOKUSENTAI!"

The background theme ended after that and from his hover chair, as he watched the display, the Space Emperor couldn't help but blush in embarrassment at the same time a massive drop of sweat dripped on his forehead.

"Lord Frieza," Ginyu bowed respectively, before approaching the emperor. "Thank you for this chance to serve you."

"And bust some heads!" Recoome roared, with Ginyu nodding and replying, "Quite; but before we go down to business, Jeice?"

"Yes sir, cap'n." Jeice stood in attention before walking over to the Emperor, now identified as Frieza, with a briefcase in his hand and presenting it. "Here you go, Lord Frieza: the new up-to-date scouters."

"Good." Frieza nodded before putting it on. "And does it have the new Ringtone I ordered?"

Ginyu puffs his chest- "Yes, sir!" -and presses a button on his scouter.

The Emperor's scouter starts playing "F" by Maximum the Hormone with a text that reads "Incoming Call From: Ginyu" printed on it.

"Glorious." Frieza smirks. "Now then, as you have been informed, Vegeta and a few other pests have taken my Dragon Balls and It turns out Zarbon and Dodoria weren't enough. I've called you five here to get them back."

"Easy enough." Ginyu nodded. "Would you rather them dead or alive?"

Frieza- "Either or." -shrugs dismissively.

"Dead it is!" Ginyu grins before he turns to his men. "Ginyu Force: Assemble!"

The Ginyu Force huddles up and performs a warm up routine.

"Speed of light and strength of all, the Ginyu Force shall make them fall! Lord King Cold's army's strongest force… We'll rid them all, secure the course; and if trouble meets us as we pass… We'll shove our fists right up their ass!"

The Ginyu Force stands in a line and pumps out their fists in unison.

"Ginyu Force…" and as Captain Ginyu calls out to his team, his men replied, "Move out!"

With that, they shot to the air at once, leaving Frieza to watch them depart in his lonesome… seconds later, "F" by Maximum the Hormone starts playing again and the emperor smirks as listened to the tune.

.

Back with our heroes, after getting over the shock in Guru's change in appearance - Krillin and Naruto were the ones shocked because compared to the towering mass of bulk they had met earlier, the Elder who greeted them in their second arrival was an athletically built, muscular, young-ish looking giant of a man - Gohan and Bulma were presented to Guru and as he'd promised Krillin, he unlocked the potential of the two but unlike with the bald martial artist earlier, when Guru unlocked the potential of Bulma and Gohan at the same time - thanks to his Godly Enhancement - he was able to pull the said potential to its very limit.

He did the same with Krillin once he was done with Bulma and Gohan.

Naruto once again refused the offer to have his potential unlocked.

With a smile on his face, Guru accepted Naruuto's refusal; however, with a heavy heart he revealed to the Earthlings that five extremely powerful power levels had arrived on the planet and would likely seek them out.

Krillin and Gohan were terrified by this, and even more when they felt the Ki Guru picked up.

Dende suggested that they quickly make a wish on the Dragon Balls since that's what the bad guys are obviously here for and Krillin eagerly agreed to this; in response to this, Naruto was about to teleport everyone away but before he could, an idea flashed on the centre of his mind.

.

"What if I cloaked us?" Naruto suggested to the group. "I mean these guys, using whatever means they have, can track you, specifically your Ki: Mortal Ki." he stated. "But I'm willing to bet they don't have the tech to track my Ki. What if I used it to essentially give you guys a layer of cloak that'll allow you to move about as freely as you please? That's if they don't have other senses to track you, and such."

"On behalf of what is left of my people, I am going to have to unfortunately decline your offer." Nail firmly replied, speaking up before his Elder could. "Accepting any more help from an outsider only further emphasizes that we are unable to take care of our problems ourselves and as the last of the Warrior Namekians, I refuse to let that be the case."

"Except, accepting help from others is also a way of taking care of your problems." Bulma crossed her hands, and stood next to Naruto, as she was speaking. "Do you really want your entire species to die because of pride? That's pretty stupid, if you ask me."

"Couldn't have said it any better myself." Naruto added, nodding in agreement. "Besides, there's still the fact that there's five of them and one of you... sure you can maybe take one or two of them no problem, but what about the rest? And note that that's if they don't choose to gang up on you, and this is still ignoring the fact that that Frieza guy doesn't show up on a whim and decide to just take you out."

"I say go for it." Krillin suggested, with Gohan agreeing. "I mean, you already have living proof that the idea has merit." the martial artist motioned to Elder Guru. "And if everything went as planned, then we'll have more fighters to deal with Frieza and make sure people like him won't bother you guys again." he stated. "Seeing as we'd be using the Dragon Balls to wish back all those killed by Frieza and everyone who ever worked under him, and that includes the Namekians who died."

Nail was briefly lost in his thoughts.

He looked to the Namekian Elder for guidance shortly thereafter.

"Lord Guru," the younger Namekian states. "What do you suggest?"

"Nail," Guru replied. "I have seen the hearts and minds of the outsiders; they are unlike the people attacking our home. They wish to help us." he paused. "And it is true that you are the strongest of our people, our Number One son, but these forces that have brought doom to our world, even with the gift of your potential unlocked, they are too much for you to deal with on your own. I believe you know the answer to your question, my son."

"Plus, um…" Gohan added. "Sorry if I'm sounding rude, but the more time we waste here, the more time those guys get here, and the more time we don't get to make our wish."

Nail took a deep breath, and sighed.

"My duty is to protect Namek and its people." He decided. "And, if accepting help from you will provide the best outcome, then that is what I will do… despite my instincts wanting me to do otherwise."

"Good." Naruto stretched his right hand into a fist. "Now: five way fist bump."

After a moment of confused hesitation, Krillin, Dende, Gohan, Bulma and Nail did as directed and a second later, after the blond closed his eyes and concentrated, a fiery flash of bright light encased the room.

.

The scouters on the faces of the Ginyu Force beeped and in response, they stopped mid-flight and hovered in the air.

"This is rather…" Ginyu frowned at the development. "Unsettling."

"They all just vanished." Burter stated, as confused as the others. "What do you think happened?"

"No idea, mate." Jeice replied. "But I reckon' this'll make our mission harder to complete."

"What should we do, captain?" Guildo asked. "Report this to Frieza, or…"

"There is no doubt that Lord Frieza already knows about this development." Ginyu decided. "Even more so thanks to the technology of a basic scouter; it would be rather pointless to go to him and report this new development. What we should do is instead continue on our mission. We shouldn't let a small issue like this distract us from it, should we, men?"

And following a chorus of 'NO CAPTAIN!' from his men, Ginyu relayed his new plan.

.

Back with our heroes, the recipients of the foreign Ki currently wore varied degrees of shock and awe expressed on their faces because of the silver sheen of energy wrapped around their body; and as they experienced this, words couldn't even begin to describe what they felt, even Bulma who (even with her increased intelligence) couldn't still sense Ki in general, especially the one that was covering her entire being.

'Whoa…' the engineer thought. 'Is this what having access to the stuff these guys feel like? Whoa… maybe should consider having Goku teach me a thing or two about this stuff… or maybe I should just ask Shenron.'

'Oh, wow!' Krillin exclaimed in his mind. 'I thought God Ki would feel like Normal Ki but slightly different, but this is… wow!' He looked at the blond. 'Is this what he feels all the time? No wonder he's so confident!' He clenched his fists. 'I'd be too if I had this all the time! Heck, with the extra boost I got from Guru and now, this, I feel like I can take on anyone! Heck, even Goku!'

"Friends," Guru brought them all back to reality, however. "I must remind you all that time is of the essence."

"Guru's right." Naruto firmly stated, shaking everyone out of their stupor. "Yes the plan worked in hiding from the senses of whatever they were using to track us but judging from what I can sense, one of them is still heading in this direction, no doubt to find out why the powers they were feeling suddenly disappeared, which means we have to move quickly."

"Then you and your earthling friends should go, right now." Nail replied. "Because I am more than capable of dealing with this threat and making sure that Guru is safe; you should take Dende as well just to make sure he's safe."

"But Nail, I want to stay here, with you… and Lord Guru!" Dende protested. "I can help!"

"Dende, no." Nail knelt down to meet the eyes of the younger, smaller Namekian. "These people I am going to fight are dangerous and I would need to focus all my attention on them if I am to come out of this alive; I can't do that if I am also keeping you safe."

"What about Guru?" Bulma pointed out. "Because by your logic, he should come with us seeing as even if Dende isn't around, you'll still need to focus on keeping him, Guru, safe, and that splits your attention."

"I agree, Nail!" Dende added, "That is why-"

"Dende…" Guru cut in, drawing the attention to him. "The powers of Porunga will be needed if our planet is to live beyond this day." He stated, "And the earthlings cannot have that if they do not have access to someone who can summon him from the Dragon Balls; you are the last son of the Namekian Dragon Clan thus I see none more fitting for the task than you, my child."

"But, Elder Guru, what about you?" Dende retorts. "Your life is linked with the Dragon; if you fall, it falls too. Remaining here with Nail only puts you and our entire goal at risk!"

Guru simply smiled and folded his hands on his back.

"Do not worry about me, my child." the Namekian Elder stated. "Now go. Summon the Dragon and bring back your friends and those who have lost their lives today."

"I'll make sure he comes out of this alive." Naruto states, walking up to Dende and placing a hand on the shoulder of the young Namekian shoulder. "You can count on me, believe it."

Guru smiled and thanked Naruto, after Nail said his goodbye to the young Namekian, before watching as the Earthlings all placed their hands on Naruto and disappeared in the same way they appeared.

"Lord Guru," Nail stated. "Why did you stay?"

"Because, Nail," the Namekian Elder walked up to the younger Namekian. "There is one more gift I wish to pass on to you…"

Nail simply blinks in confusion.

.

The group watches as, with Vegeta, Naruto seals the Seven Dragon Balls in a scroll.

"There." the blond stated. "Now-"

However, he stopped, and looked at the direction of Guru's place before he completed his sentence.

Seconds later, memories flashed in his mind.

'Huh, looks like it was a good idea to leave a clone or two behind to make sure things didn't go south…' Naruto mused in thought. 'But still… fusion… didn't think the Namekians had their own version of that.'

"Um, Naruto?" the blond was pulled out of his thoughts and glanced down at Krillin. "Is everything alright? Did something happen?"

"Nothing to worry about." Naruto dispersed the Dragon Ball scroll with a hand wave. "Now let's get out of here and some place far away if we wanna make those wishes."

And once more, after placing their hands on the blond, the group vanishes.

.

(...In an unknown location…)

.

Naruto, currently floating in a void of nothing but white, with wisps of silver whooshing around, locked his eyes at the pair of spheres before him.

"So that's what you are, huh?" they were planet sized. "Dragon Balls… but on a planet sized scale; I wonder what kind of person made you, and how big your Dragon really is. Judging by the fact that you're practically the size of a planet and I've seen the size of a Dragon relative to the Dragon Balls, I'm guessing pretty big and probably scary." the blond grinned. "On the plus side, thanks to you guys, it looks like I'm gonna have a pretty awesome set of Dragon Balls."

And with that said - and as the blond continues to look at the planet sized Dragon Balls in the unknown void of white containing nothing but tiny asteroids floating around aimlessly - we bring this chapter to a close.

.

.

.

Authors note: Already a few things have changed in the story, like the fact that unlike the original, Guru has God Ki, and he unlocks and pulls Gohan, Dende, Krillin, Bulma and Nails potential to the limit at that age where as in cannon, he only unlocked the potential of Dende, Krillin and Gohan. What would this alteration mean? Plus, Guru fused with Nail at the end and Naruto found this out thanks to a clone he left behind when noone was looking to make sure Nail and Guru were okay. How strong does that make Nail now? Remember, this is a Nail who has his potential unlocked and pulled to its limit, and is given a cloak of God Ki by Naruto while Guru has his life force extended thanks to Naruto granting him God Ki. Does that make the resulting Namekian fusion stronger than Piccolo and Nails fusion was in Canon? How can this power boost affect Porunga's wish granting?

.

Speaking of wishes...

.

Looks like Naruto has two of the Planet sized Dragon Balls in his possession. When and where did he stumble upon them? Now that he knows what they are, will he search for the remaining seven and ask the Dragon a wish? If so, what would he wish for?
