(Saiyan Shinobi Opening: Over the Top by Hiroshi Kitadani & Kohei Tanaka)
One Dream. One Wish. Kanaetai Nara, Over the Top!
The camera opens with a bloodied and beaten Goku being binded in a kind of prison as he tries escaping by pulling on his chains as his eyes shift from black to teal.
As the music starts getting more upbeat all seven Dragon Balls come together before they fall out of the sky revealing Shenron with Gohan, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all riding on him while there's a cross between the logos of Naruto and Dragon Ball Z soon after.
Mitako mo nai sekai mezashi. Araburu namikaze koete
As Team 7 flies on Shenron; Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Rock Lee, Neji, Tenten are displayed to the audience as they all do their signature jutsus at the screen.
Tsukisusumanakya dame sa, Ichibannori shitain da, Shinpai toka atomawashi, Douse shoubu ichika bachika.
Team 7 looks up to see Kakashi coming down with his Chidori while all other leaf ninja such as Iruka, Izumo, Kotetsu, Ibiki, Anko, Kurenai, Asuma, Genma, Raido, Aoba, Inoichi and Shikaku were shown.
Aite ga dekaku mietara, Kokoro ga Chijinderu Shouko.
Orochimaru and Kabuto are then displayed to the audience while the image of a familiar gang of silhouetted ninja mercenaries wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them are shown, looming over them.
Nigeru nanta choisu wa na, Ippo soba e chikadukun da, Namaiki tte homekotoba? Kitsui Toki Hodo.
All of the Z-Fighters; Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Roshi,Chiotzu, Vegeta and Piccolo are shown firing their strongest attacks followed by ninja such as Dosu, Zaku, Kin and Karin.
Warattoke!
As all of this is going on, a looming figure with glowing red eyes is shown.
Atarashi Ashita. Sagashi ni ikitai no nara, Tobikkiri no Jishin wo Migaite.
All of Gohan's adventures in the ninja world are shown starting with him landing in the Leaf Village, meeting Naruto Uzumaki, his adventures in the Ninja Academy, meeting Team Seven, having the bell test with Kakashi and his fights with Haku, Zabuza, the sound nin, the Moryo and finally Gaara of the Sand.
Tabi wo shita, Ashiato ga. Sou! Chizu ni Kawaru Made.
Goku continues struggling in his chains before the screen turns black as the Konoha 11 stand face to face with a silhouetted figurine that is shown glaring down at them as they glare right back at it.
Atarashii Horizen, Hora sunsunde kita bun, Mabushisa to nanido ga joushou.
Naruto gathers some of the nine tails' chakra as he charges at his opponent with Sasuke following with a Chidori followed by Sakura using her Earth Style, Choji using his Expansion Jutsu, Ino using her Mind Transfer Jutsu, Shikamaru using his Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, Hinata and Neji using their Gentle Fists, Tenten throwing her ninja tools, Shino sending his bugs, Kiba and Akamaru using their Fang over Fang and Rock Lee using his Eight Gates.
Yumeutsutsu de okose Hurricane, saa! Chaato Kakimidase!
Gohan then steps up before summoning his Super Saiyan 2 power.
One Dream! One Wish! Yume wa nigenai…zenbu Knock Out!
Super Saiyan 2 Gohan charges then charges their foe as he prepares a two armed Super Kamehameha.
OVER THE TOP!
The opening then ends with Gohan flying back to his friends striking a ninja pose with his Leaf Village headband displayed proudly on his bicep.
The entire room of people practically crammed into the hospital were in a state of stunned silence.
The leaf village citizens could hardly believe they were staring at the father of Son Gohan himself! After all, the father of a monster could only be a bigger monster, right?
The villagers could tell by Goku's tall chiseled and muscular frame that he definitely meant business and some of them were instantly regretting their harsh treatment of the young boy upon his entry into the Leaf Village.
And given what they saw earlier they knew it would be in their best interest if Goku didn't know how they had treated his son…..
The Leaf Village 11 could hardly believe Gohan's father was standing here right in front of them. With how powerful they knew Gohan was, his father was definitely in another league of his own.
But that didn't stop the confusion from clouding their minds.
"Hey Shikamaru, I'm confused. I thought Gohan's father was dead?" Choji whispered to his best friend who was just as puzzled.
"Yeah same here. Gohan doesn't seem like the type to lie so what's the deal?" Shikamaru narrowed his eyes at the father-son Saiyan who were staring at each other with Goku looking happily at his son while Gohan was lost for words.
Team Seven were even more stunned then everyone else considering they had seen the exact memory of Goku dying.
"Hey guys, I'm lost! We saw Goku die in Gohan's memories!" Naruto whispered to Sasuke and Sakura.
"….You got me." Sasuke shrugged, although this was partly due to his recent poisoning experience.
"Hey, you remember those Dragon Ball things, right? They probably used those to bring him back to life." Sakura responded as all eyes were on the valiant hero, Son Gohan.
(Insert Naruto OST: Alone)
Like a couple of times before in his eleven years of existence, Gohan was completely speechless.
Seeing his son's lost expression, Goku smiled.
"What's wrong? Puar got your tongue?" Goku winked as tears welled up in Gohan's eyes as flashes of Goku's heroic sacrifice zapped through his eyes.
The person most precious to him….was finally in front of him after nine months of not seeing him…..
"D….D…." Gohan gasped out as tears started to stream freely down his face before….
"DADDY!" Gohan wailed before running into Goku's arms and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Hehe, I really missed you son…." Goku tenderly smiled before holding his son tight as Gohan cried harder.
"Dad….for what….I did…." Gohan sobbed out as Goku held him tighter as he rubbed his back.
"It's okay…..it's all done now. I'm proud of you, son." Goku smiled as Gohan wiped his eyes before smiling back.
"Hehe!" Gohan happily laughed as he felt really at ease.
Everyone in the room, mainly the ninja and rookie nine watched the teary-eyed reunion, just as touched themselves as they smiled at the two.
"Heh." Kiba smirked.
Team Dosu were silent as they walked in seeing Gohan tearfully embrace his father. While Dosu and Zaku appeared indifferent, Kin couldn't help but smile a little.
"Okay now that's sweet." Sakura smiled as she teared up.
Sasuke wiped a tear, making Naruto smirk.
"Saw that, bastard!" Naruto snorted.
Sasuke was about to make a retort but sighed in defeat.
"Okay fine you got me. I'm not totally heartless." Sasuke scowled at Naruto who looked like he was about to fall over laughing before Gohan got everyone's attention.
(End Naruto OST: Alone)
"But dad! You died!? How did you get here!? When did you get here!?" Gohan nearly spazzed out as Goku gave a hearty chuckle before taking a seat on the bed Sasuke was on.
"Yeah and Gohan said you died! How'd you get here!?" Tenten practically got in Goku's face who laughed nervously.
"And what was all that earlier?" Kiba also demanded as Goku rubbed the back of his head bashfully.
"Okay, okay, let's not overwhelm dad, too much." Gohan said as Goku tapped his shoulders.
"It's fine, Gohan. Now where to start? Oh yeah! I can begin with explaining how I got here!" Goku grinned as he began to recount his tale to the Leaf villagers and ninja alike present….
Winding the clock back a spell…
It was another morning of training as Goku finished his training with his friend, Piccolo. While Goku would often train with the other Z-Fighters, he chose to train with Piccolo this morning. Mainly just to be a tease to his rival, Vegeta.
"Come at me!" Piccolo yelled as he charged at his long time rival as Goku's hair became Golden while his eyes turned Teal.
"Super Saiyan!" Goku yelled as the two rivals charged at each other as they bombarded each other with punches and kicks.
Although Piccolo had grown significantly in the months following the Cell Games, Goku still held an edge over the Namekian.
"Sorry Piccolo but…..I'VE GOT THIS ONE!" Goku yelled as he childishly grinned as his yell slightly caught Piccolo off guard before stopping Piccolo's current assault with a hook to his chin before following up with a sharp elbow to his chest and sending him flying downwards.
"You bastard….throwing me off like that on purpose…" Piccolo grumbled as Goku laughed while powering down.
"Sorry but all's fair in war!" Goku snickered as Piccolo huffed before smirking himself.
"So Goku…about Gohan…..it's been…" Piccolo somberly began as Goku's expression lost its seemingly endless cheerfulness.
"Around eight months….since he's….been gone…." Goku muttered as there was a somber silence between the two men.
Piccolo was silent as he remembered his angry words to Goku during the Cell Games before he sighed.
"Look Goku…about what I said…." Piccolo began as Goku waved him off.
"It's fine…you were right….if only I thought more responsibly….maybe none of this wouldn't have happened….and Gohan wouldn't be in God Knows Where right now…." Goku looked down as not a day went by where Goku didn't think about his son….
Wherever he was….he hoped Gohan was okay and healthy….hopefully he wouldn't get into too much trouble….Nah, Gohan was way more responsible and smarter than Goku when he was eleven.
"Well how about I help you out there, Goku! Piccolo!" The goofy voice of King Kai rang through the air.
"King Kai!?" Goku blinked in surprise.
"Help us how?" Piccolo raised a non-existant eyebrow as King Kai smirked on his planet.
"Remember all those months ago when you were revived when I said I would help to find Gohan's whereabouts?" King Kai asked as Goku and Piccolo's eyes widened as they realized the full implications of the Kai's statement.
"You really found him!?" Goku could barely breathe as King Kai smirked.
"Indeed I did! Although I got quite the earful from those other Kais….bunch of pricks those guys….but if it's to help my favorite student, it's worth dealing with those assholes!" King Kai joked as Goku felt happy tears come to his eyes. He would finally be able to see his son again!
"King Kai, PLEASE tell me! Where is he!?" Goku yelled as King Kai laughed at his student's happiness.
"Bubbles, Gregory, if you two would be so kind as to hand me my book of planet coordinates?" King Kai ushered to his house mates.
"Ooh! Ooh!" Bubbles eagerly jumped as Gregory handed the Kai the informative book.
"Here ya go!" Gregory said.
"Thank You. And I even made sure to book mark it for ya, Goku…" King Kai began as he opened the book before randomly going to a page he had marked.
"Okay so he's at Planet 1078 located in the West Galaxy. Planet Ninjitsu." King Kai explained as Goku and Piccolo raised an eyebrow at the name.
"Planet Ninjitsu?" Both fighters pondered.
"It's a Planet where ninja reside." King Kai elaborated as Piccolo looked bewildered.
"First we have there's a planet of Nameks, a planet of Yardrats and now there's a world of ninjas? What's next, a planet of pirates? A planet of fairies?" Goku blinked even more bewildered.
"So…Gohan's on a planet with ninja? What's he supposed to be? Shinobi Son Gohan?" Piccolo muttered although his confusion wouldn't dare overshadow the happiness and relief that filled his being.
Although his happiness was nothing compared to Goku.
Goku was surprisingly silent however.
Until…..
"YES! FINALLY I GET TO SEE MY SON AGAIN! THANK YOU SO MUCH KING KAI!" Goku jumped up and down like an excited child on Christmas would as King Kai smiled on his planet as he was genuinely happy for his student.
"Of course, Goku! Why not help out a beloved student of mine. Although I do say if you were still dead, you could've met one of those ninja. It's said that he was allowed to train with the Grand Kai himself upon his passing."King Kai stated.
"T-The Grand Kai!?" Piccolo blinked as a nervous sweat started to break out as Goku noticed Piccolo's change in demeanor.
"Wait Piccolo? Who is this guy? Some sort of big shot or something?" Goku casually asked as Piccolo glared at Goku for his casual and bluntness in addressing the Kai.
"Yes he is, you tactless idiot! He's the Kai who's over King Kai himself! So yes he's a very 'big shot'!" Piccolo chided Goku who rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Oh okay…sorry, hehe!" Goku laughed as King Kai and Piccolo huffed in irritation.
"Same Old Goku." King Kai shook his head remembering the day he first met the eccentric Saiyan and how he mistook Bubbles for King Kai.
"So King Kai, what's this ninja like who trains with the Grand Kai?" Goku asked as King Kai smirked.
"It's said he's noble and swift with a heart of gold!" King Kai explained as both Saiyan and Namekian alike found themselves curious at who this man could be?
"Huh…..swift with a heart of gold, huh? I'd love to meet and fight against him….but bringing my son back is more important! Thanks again, King Kai!" Goku smirked as he turned to Piccolo who couldn't hide his happiness even if he tried.
"After so long….." Piccolo began as he couldn't suppress the wide smile from forming on his face.
"We get to see Gohan again!" Goku pumped his fist as he soon went around telling all his friends alike as they all, even Vegeta, seemed elated, at being reunited with the son of Goku again.
But none were more happy than….
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Chichi exclaimed, dropping the plate she had in her hand.
"Dead Serious, Chi!" Goku grinned as Chichi suddenly glared at Goku dangerously.
"Okay don't screw with me. If this is one of your jokes-"Chichi warned as Goku waved his hands nervously at the one person he feared in the Universe.
"It's not I promise. We get to see our boy, again." Goku's eyes softened as he talked in a voice he reserved for no one but his family.
Chichi teared up as she slowly sniffled.
"I can't believe it….We….we….." Chichi started to sob as Goku embraced his wife.
"Yes….we get to see our boy again….." Goku soothed as tears began to come to his own eyes.
He would finally get to see his son again…..
Nearly a Month Later
Goku, Chichi and the rest of the Z-Fighters stood in Bulma's backyard as she and her father brought out something that was currently stored in a capsule.
"Okay guys, feast your eyes on this!" Bulma smirked proudly before pressing the top of the Capsule she had in her hand before throwing it to the ground in front of the group.
As the smoke died down, the object stored in the capsule was a wide circular machine with a bluish top and a red circle in the center of it with the Capsule Corp logo on the front of the machine with airplane parts on the sides.
"Whoa! What is that!?" Yamcha blinked as the other spectators stared agape at the machine.
"This is what we're gonna use to get Gohan back!" Bulma smirked.
"And this is a spaceship?" Tien raised an eyebrow.
"Yes and no. Its design is based off of one but I based it off the Time Machine Trunks used." Bulma explained.
"But how? Trunks already left with his machine." Krillin reminded the Briefs heiress as Vegeta scoffed.
"Use your head, baldy. She's referring to the other time machine Trunks and Gohan found. The one Cell used when he killed the other version of Trunks." Vegeta said although he balled his fists at the last part of his sentence. Bulma's face also darkened as everyone was silent, Goku especially.
"In any case, unlike the spaceship Goku used to get to Namek, this one won't take nearly that long to get to this Planet Ninjitsu. King Kai gave you the coordinates, right Goku?" Bulma asked as Goku nodded.
"Yep!" Goku confirmed with a smile.
"Here's the catch. It won't take nearly that long for you to get to Ninjitsu! I programmed it to where once the coordinates are in, you can get to wherever you want in the blink of an eye!" Bulma winked as Goku and the others, sans Vegeta and Piccolo, happily cheered.
"Good work, Bulma! I swear you're the smartest person in the Universe!" Goku grinned as Vegeta smirked.
"Damn right she is." Vegeta snorted as a blonde woman with a cigarette in hand mockingly-huffed as she walked from behind the machine.
"I'm almost offended you guys forgot me. I mean I worked on the machine too." The blonde woman smirked.
"Hehe, we'd never forget you, Tights." Bulma giggled as Tights snorted.
"Well thanks that makes me feel better." Tights patronized Bulma as Dr. Briefs cleared his throat.
"Now why don't I show you all the insides and outs of the machine?" Dr. Briefs suggested as everyone listened to the old scientist explain the ins and outs of the machine.
Well…everyone except a certain spiky haired, jovial Saiyan.
"I do wonder, who all is going on this little ninja expedition?" Dr. Briefs asked as Goku smiled.
"I am!" Goku smiled.
"And so am I. I would love to see how much Gohan has grown in these past nine months." Piccolo crossed his arms as he nodded also smiling.
Vegeta huffed before going back to the Gravity Chamber only to be stopped by Bulma.
"What woman?" Vegeta asked.
"I want you to go with them." Bulma glared at Vegeta as he gave her a look of utter consternation.
"You can't be serious! What about my training!?" Vegeta scoffed as Bulma rolled her eyes.
"Oh get that stick outta your ass and go with them. You don't wanna admit it but I know you care about Gohan!" Bulma smugly stated as Vegeta gave her a death glare.
"I do not!" Vegeta tried arguing as Bulma crossed her arms.
"Then why'd you apologize to him when he got hurt against Cell." Bulma smugly smirked as Vegeta was at a loss for words for once in his life.
"I just…uh…." Vegeta tried arguing as Bulma swerved around, knowing she won this battle.
"Thanks for your gracious charity, Veggie!" Bulma pat the shorter man's head as he huffed.
"Who even told you anyways?" Vegeta demanded more than asked.
"Krillin." Bulma shrugged as Vegeta sent a death glare towards the former monk.
"Now I think Vegeta wants to kill me for some reason…" Krillin cringed.
"You know sometimes I hate you more than that clown Kakarot." Vegeta pouted as Bulma turned her nose at Vegeta, having enough of his attitude.
"You take your ass to that ninja world or it's the couch for a month!" Bulma harshly stated as Vegeta's expression morphed from that of one of annoyance to one of horror.
"You wouldn't!" Vegeta yelled as Bulma's lips curled upwards.
"Oh yes I would. And the only action you'd get is from a Men's Vasoline bottle." Bulma snickered at Vegeta's defeated expression.
Meanwhile as the VegeBul argument ended with Bulma's victory, Goku was talking with his old friends.
"Goku, before you go I want you to promise us something!" Chiaotzu began as Goku laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Goku reassured his friends.
"No not that. If it's possible….can you bring back a ninja for us?" Tien asked as Goku smirked, immediately knowing what he was getting at.
"Heh, of course I would!" Goku laughed.
"Thanks! We'd really love to meet a ninja!" Yamcha grinned.
"And don't you forget it!" Krillin yelled.
"Why are you guys so obsessed with ninjas all of a sudden?" Bulma asked as she walked up with a sullen looking Vegeta.
Goku and the other men, sans Piccolo, all had darkened eyes.
"It's because…." Goku began before all the boys looked up.
"ALL BOYS LOVE NINJA!" Goku, Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Chiaotzu and Yajirobe all childishly exclaimed.
Piccolo and Vegeta only stared blankly.
"Weebs." Bulma shook her head before everyone noticed Goku suddenly vanishing.
"Wait, where did Goku go?" Chichi asked before his scream from inside the ship got everyone's attention.
"Oh no, not good." Piccolo groaned.
"For once I agree with you." Vegeta said as the two men ran inside of the ship as Goku looked around with childish, sparkling eyes.
"Whoa! This looks so cool! Look what this button does!" Goku said as he started pressing random buttons.
"Don't mess around with the machine you twit!" Vegeta and Piccolo yelled in unison.
"Why not? I already put the coordinates and I'm ready to g-!" Goku yelled before a harsh jerking stopped his word play.
The ship started to literally jump around as the machine was suddenly revving to life.
"What's going on!?" Piccolo asked in alarm.
"That idiot Kakarot flubbed the machine!" Vegeta yelled.
"Hey! I was excited, okay!" Goku yelled as the spectators outside could only watch stunned.
"Bulma, what's happening!?" Chichi yelled.
"I think Goku turned it on and messed it up!" Bulma yelled with raised eyes as the machine was jumping around before it looked like it was about to literally implode.
(As all of this went on a young girl with long brown hair in a bun in her head wearing a white and red Kitsune mask and a pink and red kimono started playing the Shamisen. For those curious of the tune of the song, it's the Wano theme from Episode 892 of One Piece)
Before anyone knew anything, the machine suddenly disappeared, leaving all watching stunned and pressed for words.
"I….guess….it worked…." Krillin blinked with a nervous chuckle.
"Goku!" Chichi yelled, in both irritation and worry.
"….I….should've known Goku would've done something like that…oh boy…I guess I really goofed..." Bulma muttered, oblivious to the bizarre stares she received.
(As the girl continued playing the Shamisen, the curtains closed on the Dragon Ball world. Soon after, they slowly reopened revealing a land located in a range of tall mountains, literally hidden in the clouds. This place was known as Kumogakure….the Village Hidden in the Clouds.)
Kumogakure
All Citizens enjoyed their daily lives in the town area as the ninja returned from their missions meant to uphold the peace and prosperity of the Land of Lightning. Although unlike in the Leaf Village, the standard attire for Cloud village shinobi consists of a long, grey top which gathers just at the waist to give a sash-like appearance, with a matching colored bottom. Over this they wear white, one-strapped flak jackets and arm as well as shin-guards.
The children in the village happily ran through the streets without a care in the world as several ninja made their way to a large blue structure built near the tallest mountain of the village.
"The mission was a success, Lord Raikage." One Jonin informed the leader of the Cloud Village.
"Hmph, thank you." The Raikage, otherwise known by his name A, said as the ninja took their leave. The Raikage was a tall, dark-skinned man with blonde hair and what resembled a pro-wrestler's belt around his waist with the Raikage hat on his head.
The Cloud Village was renowned for its massive military and economic prowess and A prided himself in the power his village had in comparison to the other ninja villages. Although the incident concerning the Hyuga Clan where the Raikage tried taking the Byakugan of a young Hinata was still unresolved….
A was snapped from these thoughts as two ninja phased into his office.
"What is it?" A asked.
"Come with us please, Lord Raikage. It's something you have to see." One of the ninja, a Kunoichi said.
Near the outskirts of the Cloud Village, all the villagers watched in awe as a very bizarre phenomenon was occurring.
The ninja in the area all tried their best to keep the panicking villagers at bay as several lightning bolts suddenly struck down, nearly striking the village.
"Hey, didn't something like this happen in the Leaf Village nearly a year ago?" A tall, dark-skinned man with a lazy voice asked the Raikage who grit his teeth as he begrudgingly remembered hearing that news and could only watch as the same thing happened in his village.
The lightning then died down as an orb suddenly appeared within the sky.
"If it's an enemy, be ready to attack!" A ordered his men.
"Sir!" The ninja responded, readying a jutsu as the orb slowly dissipated as it slowly formed into a circle than landed right in front of everyone.
The villagers around all scattered in fear as the ninja slowly approached the crater that was formed as a result from what fell down from the sky.
As they all ran towards the crater, what they expected was not a man who appeared to be in his late-twenties with gravity defying black hair wearing a orange GI with a short-sleeved blue undershirt underneath with matching boots.
"And just what is a man doing out here and how'd he come from that thing in the sky?" The same man with the lazy tone in his voice asked.
"Lord Raikage?" A blonde man wearing the standard cloud village attire turned to his leader in question.
"We'll bring this man in for questioning and once he wakes up, we'll interrogate him." A crossed his arms.
"Yes sir." Both men said before they picked up the unconscious Goku and brought him to the local Cloud Village hospital.
Goku's eyes stirred awake as he slowly woke up.
"Ugh…where am I?" Goku rubbed his spiky head before his eyes widened in realization.
"So the machine worked then?" Goku asked before noticing how there was a capsule in his hand.
"Okay thank god it's not broken!" Goku sighed in relief before closing his eyes.
Upon doing so, a very relieved smile adorned his features.
"I can sense it! Gohan's alive! My boy's alive! YEAH!" Goku jumped from his bed as he pumped his fists.
"And it looks like Piccolo and Vegeta are okay too!" Goku smiled as he was preparing to see his son again. However before he could take his leave….
"So it looks like you're awake." A voice got Goku's attention as he turned to see two men. One was a dark skinned man with a broad nose and blonde hair while the other was blonde haired with fair skin. They both wore the standard cloud village wear.
"Who are you two? And also where am I?" Goku asked with raised eyebrows as he could feel no malice from the two men.
"I'm Cee and this is my partner Darui and you are in Kumogakure, the village Hidden in the Clouds. Now there question is who are you and what are you doing here?" Cee asked.
"And what was all that light show stuff earlier?" Darui added.
"I'm Son Goku and I'm here to get my son Gohan back." Goku answered as both men's eyes widened at the name.
"Wait you're the Son Gohan's father!?" Cee asked.
"Haha yep!" Goku laughed before his expression turned serious, "Is something wrong?"
"It's just to see that his father of all people is here is just incredible! I mean your son was able to tangle with such high level ninja such as Zabuza Momochi and Orochimaru with no sweat I hear." Darui explained as Goku smiled.
"That's my boy! He was always a powerhouse even when he was a kid!" Goku grinned proudly as he remembered how well he did against foes such as Garlic Jr, Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta and Frieza for example.
"However sorry to say he's not here." Cee said as Goku looked at him.
"Yeah he's in Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Cee added as Goku stared at him.
"I see." Goku said before smiling, "I'll just head there now, thanks Cee! Thanks Darui!" Goku grinned before taking his leave.
"Just sit there for a second." Darui cut Goku off as he turned to Cee.
"You look worried Cee." Darui said as Cee thought about how to phrase this.
"Something just occurred to me…..if powerful people like Gohan and Goku can come here…what if powerful threats from wherever they come from end up in the Ninja World?" Cee asked as Darui was quiet. He hadn't ever considered that option. If Goku and Gohan could show up in the Shinobi World for any arbitrary reason then what could stop a threat from ending up in their realm? Then again it was the reason why everyone thought of Cee as the more mature of the duo.
As the two turned to Goku, they noticed he was gone.
"He's gone! Are you serious!?" Cee was about to pull his hair out.
"Well it's not like his son is here." Darui lazily shrugged.
"And it's reasons like that which are why everyone thinks I'm the more capable of us two." Cee smugly smirked as Darui glared at him.
"Oh screw you." Darui fired back.
Goku walked through the large village of Kumo as he marveled at the sites. Although as he walked, he received several bizarre stares as well as having comments made about him.
"Who is that guy?"
"What's with his hair?"
"His outfit is something you'd see out of an anime!"
Thankfully Goku wasn't the type to pay these kinds of comments any mind.
However as he walked around his stomach growled.
"Ugh….so hungry!" Goku groaned as he put a hand to his stomach before his nose caught a whiff of something that smelled good.
"Gohan's Ki feels fine and he doesn't seem to be in any danger." Goku told himself before the smell got in his nose again.
"What's that?" Goku asked as he hurried to the source of the smell like a starving dog before coming across a plate of dumplings, chicken gizzards, barbecue and miso soup.
"Oh boy I hit the jackpot!" Goku drooled with sparkly eyes before promptly sitting and eating the other person's food without a care in the world.
"Man that is all so good!" Goku grinned as he continued happily gorging the food.
At least until….
"HEY!" A very irate red haired Kunoichi and her teammate with white hair came storming up as Goku continued eating.
"What do you think you're doing with my food!?" The girl demanded as the Saiyan continued eating as if he didn't hear her.
"Yo dumbass!" The girl yelled finally getting Goku's attention.
"Oh, sup?" Goku casually greeted.
"You're eating my food you asshole!" The girl yelled.
"Haha sorry but I got hungry!" Goku grinned his trademark grin as the boy looked irritated while the girl looked ready to rip Goku's head off.
"You can't just steal other people's food you-!" The red haired girl tried yelling before the man got up while laughing sheepishly.
"Look sorry okay!" Goku chuckled as the girl got right in his face
"Don't you 'sorry' me! You're paying for this!" The girl yelled as Goku pulled something from his pocket.
"Here have this. Well see ya!" Goku left as the girl got even more irate.
"YOU BASTARD!" The girl yelled as the paper Goku gave her stated, "Here's an I.O.U from Son Goku! Thanks for accepting it ^_^"
"Food thief!" The girl yelled as the boy put a hand on her shoulder.
"Karui, he's gone." The boy sighed as Karui glared at him.
"Shove it, Omoi! The nerve of that bastard!" Karui cracked her knuckles as she chased after him with Omoi in tow.
"Hey! Get back here!" Karui yelled as she managed to tackle Goku into a table of a nearby restaurant, stunning everyone in said restaurant.
"Yeesh! I said I was sorry!" Goku rubbed his noggin as Karui grabbed his collar.
"And I said you're gonna pay for my meal!" Karui yelled as Cee and Darui managed to catch up to where Goku was.
"Unbelievable! We take our eyes off you for five seconds and you're already causing trouble!?" Cee stated with annoyance in his voice.
"I got hungry!" Goku laughed as Darui rolled his eyes.
However, footsteps got everyone's attention as everyone turned to a tall dark-skinned ninja wearing shades.
"Oh no…" Darui muttered as he could only wonder how worse things could get.
"Yo! What's all the hubbub, motha fuckas!?" The man greeted.
"Oh Lord Killer Bee!" Omoi remarked.
"Bee! This assmunch ate my meal and tried running off!" Karui said as she smacked Goku's head.
Goku however couldn't take his eyes off of Killer Bee.
"I can sense huge power in this guy….I wonder why…" Goku blinked before speaking up, disregarding the angry teenager on him.
"Hey Shades-dude, fight me!" Goku stated, much to the shock of everyone present.
"Huh!?" Cee and Omoi yelled as a man with spiky brown hair glared at him.
"How dare you!? Refer to him as Lord Bee!" The man yelled as Bee waved him off.
"Easy Motoi. I like how this guy operates." Bee smirked as he pointed at Goku.
"And what's yo' name, dumbass phony!?" Bee asked as Goku grinned.
"Son Goku!" Goku grinned as gasps arose from everyone in the restaurant.
"Like Son Gohan?" Omoi asked.
"Yep! I'm his dad!" Goku answered.
"Huh!?" Everyone save for Cee and Darui screamed.
"If he's that runt's dad then…." Bee thought before crossing his arms.
"The name's Killer Bee and I'll sting ya like one, motha fucka! I like you. Put it there!" Bee held his fist out which Goku happily reciprocated.
"Hey thanks! You're pretty cool yourself!" Goku grinned as he bumped Killer Bee's fist back as everyone in the restaurant could hardly believe their eyes.
"Wait….is Lord Bee really buddying it up with this guy?" Omoi blinked as Motoi was even more lost.
"…..It…looks like it." Motoi muttered as Darui sighed.
"What a drab….this guy seems like a Bee 2.0." Cee deadpanned as he could only imagine the hell Goku and Bee would cause if they ever hung out together.
"A-ight, ya dumbass phony! I'll fight ya! At the end of the village there's a battle arena! Be there or be square!" Bee said before he body-flickered away.
"Alright! On my way there!" Goku said as he ran out of the restaurant.
Before he came right back in.
"Could someone show me where it is? Hehe…" Goku laughed as everyone groaned in annoyance.
Goku then stood in the Cloud Village tournament arena as he stared down Killer Bee.
While he had a mission to get his son back, he was able to get a feel for his Ki and he was in no danger so Goku was sure Gohan would be fine. Besides, he wanted to get a feel for this ninja world.
"Alright, whenever you're ready!" Goku donned a battle stance.
"Does this guy really think he has a chance?" A blonde man asked what looked to be his twin sister.
"Who even knows Atsui?" The woman known as Samui shrugged though she and every cloud ninja watching in the tournament seats wondered the same thing. Could the father of the infamous Son Gohan really hold a candle to the hero of the Cloud?
"If he's the father of that monster Gohan then…." Omoi muttered as Karui threw a can down at Goku, hitting him in the head.
"FOOD THIEF!" Karui yelled.
"Okay that's not nice." Goku rubbed his noggin as Killer Bee then adopted his own stance before several of swords were pulled out sticking between his legs, elbows, right leg, stomach, the right side of his neck and in his mouth.
"Wait, you're a swordsman?" Goku asked in surprise.
"That's right, I'll slice ya up and make ya sting like a bee, fool ya fool!" Bee smirked under his blades.
"Heh, this guy doesn't have a chance." Karui smirked as Goku put one finger out.
"Heh, I haven't done this since Trunks." Goku put Ki to his finger making his finger illuminate before it returned to normal.
"And just what the hell is he doing?" Darui raised an eyebrow.
"What you doing?" Bee asked as Goku smiled.
"Just one finger is all I'll need." Goku said as Bee narrowed his eyes under his shades before jumping up into the air before landing right where Goku was.
(Insert DBZ Theme: Pikkon Theme)
"Let's just try it then, fool ya fool!" Bee yelled as Goku proved his hunch just correct as it really took one finger to hold off Bee and his blade or rather blades as Goku was able to knock Bee back before back handing Bee and sending him nearly skidding out of the arena.
"Heh, you're pretty good, fool ya fool." Bee smirked.
"Heh thanks. Same to you." Goku returned the smirk before Bee did his best to try to impale Goku but to no avail as Goku was able to easily dodge his attack.
"Man I wish I had my power pole." Goku slightly lamented before Goku smacked one of Bee's blades out of his mouth before kicking Bee in the stomach and sending him into the air before following up with a hard hook that sent him flying into the ground of the arena floor before.
The Cloud Ninja could hardly believe their eyes.
"No way…..this man…is besting Lord Bee!?" Motoi could not believe what he was seeing.
"Just who the hell is this guy!?" Atsui demanded with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Man…you have a harder hit than my bro….really know how to flow…." Bee muttered as Goku landed in front of him before offering a hand which Bee accepted.
"Thanks, fool ya fool." Bee said as Goku narrowed his eyes at Bee.
"Hey Bee, I can sense you have more power in you. Like some sort of….beast." Goku stated much to Bee's shock.
"Wait, you know about…." Bee could hardly believe Goku as he nodded.
"Yeah. I can sense that beast or whatever inside of you. Go ahead and bring it out. I'm kind of curious." Goku said as Bee looked unsure. Sensing Bee's worry, Goku waved him off.
"Don't worry, I can handle it, believe me." Goku reassured as Bee suddenly grinned.
"Heh, I like the way you operate, Goku." Bee smirked before a red bubbling chakra started to envelope him.
"Before I bring out the big guns, how 'bout I let you have a taste!" Bee yelled before charging at Goku with a speed faster than normal.
"So he's gotten faster." Goku said as he could still see Bee perfectly as he loomed over him with his arm stretched back.
"LARIAT!" Bee yelled as he tried bringing Goku back as Goku yelled before he powered up and combated Bee's lariat with an attack of his own as his force sent the cloud village rapper flying back.
Goku screamed before sending a harsh hook to Bee's jaw making him spit saliva before delivering a series of punches and kicks all over Bee's body before jumping up in the sky and firing a Ki blast that hit Bee dead on.
"Meteor Combination!" Goku yelled as the force of the attack made a cloud of dust fly around the arena.
As the smoke died down, everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
"No way….no freaking way…..this guy…Bee is giving it his all…while that Goku guy isn't even trying…." Karui gasped out as Samui narrowed her eyes at the Earth raised Saiyan.
"Just who are you, Son Goku?" Samui demanded as the smoke revealed Bee on his knees.
"That was just a taste of the beast I can see. Let's see the real beast." Goku said as Bee got on his feet as he smirked.
"Heh, okie-dokie, just remember you asked for it!" Bee said before he started to morph into a gigantic, eight-tailed octopus.
Much to the dismay of the Cloud Ninja watching present.
"No way, he's brining that out!?" Cee asked as he was ready to jump into the arena and end this sparring match which was getting too out of hand.
"Man…." Darui couldn't help but smirk as he noticed how calm and collected Goku was looking.
"Is he seriously gonna stand there!? He's gonna get killed!" Karui was literally choking Omoi as he could barely breathe for air as Goku calmly stood his ground.
After all he faced scarier looking enemies like King Piccolo and a Great Ape Vegeta.
"Bee! You brought me out to deal with one man!?" The Eight Tails asked his carrier in annoyance.
"Now, now, choose to be chill, my man. There's more to him than meets the eye, yo!" Bee said as the Eight Tails could sense no lie coming from Bee as he raised an eyebrow at the orange and blue clad Saiyan.
"So Bee tells me you're strong, huh? What's your name?" The Eight Tails asked.
"Son Goku." Goku smirked as the Eight Tails nearly lost its breathe.
"Son Goku!? Why, that's the name of the Four Tails!" The Eight Tails stammered as it was Goku's turn to be surprised.
"Wait Four Tails? How many of you guys are there?" Goku blinked.
"There are nine of us in all." The Eight Tails answered as Goku suddenly looked determined.
"So there's nine of you guys, huh? I wonder how strong the other eight of you are." Goku said more to himself than anyone around before looking at the Eight Tails.
"Alright, gimme your all! I wanna see how strong you are!" Goku said as the Eight Tails looked at Goku as if he became a Great Ape.
"Are you serious? If I battle you, you would be eviscerated!" The Eight Tails chided Goku who looked unfazed.
"Nah I can handle ya, trust me." Goku smirked as Bee added his two cents.
"I can vouch for him, dude. He's stronger than a motha fucka!" Bee confirmed as the Eight Tails sighed.
"Okay….but if you die, don't blame me!" The Eight Tails said as he opened his mouth before a small black orb as formed as the Eight Tails suddenly ate it, much to the confusion of everyone present.
"No way, it's gonna do that!" Omoi blinked.
"What's he gonna do?" Goku asked in confusion as the Eight Tails suddenly expanded almost like a balloon before it opened its steaming mouth.
"It's here….the Tailed Beast bomb!" Samui said as it fired said blast right at Goku.
"You idiot! Move!" Cee, Motoi and Karui yelled as Darui only watched in stunned silence curious to see how Goku would get out of this fix.
Goku cupped his hands together as a blue fissure of energy started emitting from his hands.
"Ka….Me….Ha….Me…." Goku muttered as the bomb was reaching Goku.
However before it reached an inch of where Goku was….
"HA!" Goku yelled as his childhood move collided with the beam of the Tailed Beast.
Much to the shock of everyone present, it slowly started to overtake the power of the Tailed Beast bomb before the Eight Tails was sent skidding back before the Tailed Beast bomb was sent flying into the sky, evaporating into nothingness….
(End DBZ: Pikkon Theme)
The watching Cloud Village patrons could hardly believe what they had saw.
"No way….this guy…is stronger….than the Tailed Beasts?" Karui nearly felt light-headed as Bee was on his knees, panting in exhaustion.
"Okay….this guy….is definitely….strong….I ain't…had a good fight like that since….the Yellow Flash of the Leaf…motha fucka…." Bee muttered as Goku landed right in front of him.
"Good fight, Bee. I definitely wanna fight you again." Goku smiled his trademark grin as Bee accepted his gesture.
"Oh hell yeah, let's fight again, ya dumbass phony!" Bee smirked.
However before both fighters could leave on good terms….
"BEE! YOU COLASSAL IDIOT!" The irate voice of A boomed, sending everyone sans Goku on edge.
"How dare you be so reckless in the village!?" A yelled as he stormed up to Bee.
"Big Bro! I was just…I wanted to test how strong this guy was!" Bee tried worming his way out of his current situation as A would hear none of it.
"I should give you my Iron Claw for this!" A yelled before turning and narrowing his eyes at Goku.
"And it looks like you're up…" A said as Goku rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Hehe sorry! I wasn't trying to cause trouble I just sensed Bee was strong, hehe." Goku laughed as A continued his gaze at Goku.
"This guy…..reminds me of Minato…." A thought as Goku smiled.
"And lemme tell you, your little brother is definitely strong. And I can sense it, you seem strong too! Lemme fight ya, please!" Goku grinned as A was taken aback.
"What in the?" A remarked dumbstruck as Omoi touched down along with Karui.
"Oh yes sir, I can vouch for him. He's definitely strong. He handled Bee like he was nothing!" Omoi grinned as he found a newfound respect for Goku as A then noticed how Bee looked disheveled while Goku had not even a speck of dust on him.
"Hell he even fought the Eight Tails and handled him like he was nothing too!" Atsui added as he also touched down as A glared at him.
"Well I know that since the villagers who weren't here heard all the commotion from the other side of the village! I thought an enemy had attacked!" A chided the cloud ninja before turning back to Goku.
"And I hear you're the father of that brat, Son Gohan, yes?" A asked as Goku nodded before turning his gaze serious.
"Yeah that's right but don't call my son a brat." Goku said as A waved off Goku.
"Although normally a Kage wouldn't react to a challenger from a newbie….very well…..I'll see what you got!" A stated before throwing his shirt off as a lightning aura surrounded him as his hair stood up.
(Insert DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters OST: Last Hit Victory)
"Whoa….and here I didn't think we'd get all these free shows today." Darui smirked.
"No way….Raikage's gonna use that!" Cee remarked as Goku' eyes widened.
"No way, you can turn Super Saiyan too!" Goku was stunned as A cracked his neck.
"Super Saiyan? No this is my Lightning Release. Wait, don't tell me you can turn into that Super Saiyan fable I've heard about." A remarked as Goku grinned.
"I guess Gohan's showed off some of his power." Goku thought amusingly.
"Yep! Sure can!" Goku said before the ground rumbled as his hair turned blonde while his black eyes changed to teal, leaving in place a Super Saiyan.
"No way…that's the Super Saiyan Kekkai Genkai I've heard about!" Karui yelled as the Raikage was stunned. Right by Goku, he envisioned a man with Blonde Hair wearing a white cloak.
"It's just like…..back then…" A muttered as he powered his lightning around him.
"I pride myself in having my absolute defense! Let's see you try to shatter it!" A yelled as he charged at Goku with the same "Lariat" move, Bee attempted on him.
"I will!" Goku said as he charged at the incoming A who lunged at him like a raging lion.
"LARIAT!" A yelled as Goku's shoulder collided with A's shoulder.
A grit his teeth as he tried gaining the upper-hand but to no avail as he could feel his defenses slowly breaking.
"No way….even stronger…than Kakashi Hatake's lightning style!?" A thought as Goku yelled as he completely broke A's lightning shield and A was slowly sent skidding backwards.
However…Goku hadn't completely paid attention as his slight misstep led A being sent flying mad yards all the way back to his office hidden in the outskirts of the village!
(End DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters OST: Last Hit Victory)
"Uh….." Goku remarked with wide eyes and wide raised eyebrows as he powered down to his base mode as he noticed everyone, even Samui, staring at the direction of the flown Raikage with wide blank eyes.
"I…..think I used too much power." Goku blinked before turning to everyone.
"Uh…he should be okay! Bye!"Goku awkwardly flew off.
"Hey! That asshole never paid me back!" Karui yelled as deep in the Raikage's office, the Raikage's assistant could only imagine the amount of work it'd be putting together the office.
Not to mention….dealing with the obvious irritation the Raikage would be in once he woke up.
"Oh crap, crap, crap! What have I done!?" Goku flew off in a hurry, thankful that no ninja could fly.
At least none that he knew of…
As Goku continued soaring the skies, he started to get a feel for Gohan's Ki.
"Okay good he still feels okay. And it looks like he's with three others who are weaker than him but relatively strong." Goku noted before his stomach growled again.
"Ugh….and that Karui girl's food wasn't enough to fill me up…." Goku groaned before touching down on a certain town.
"Tanzaku Town?" Goku asked before walking through it, while smiling at the peacefulness of the town as everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves as various restaurants, casionos, bars and shops were visible to the Saiyan.
Although Goku mainly cared about the restaurants.
"Although I don't want another Karui incident." Goku frowned as he crossed his arms before noticing two women sitting down having a mid-day meal.
One was a woman with short black hair wearing a black kimono holding a pink pug while the other was a blonde haired woman with a blue diamond on her forehead.
"Perfect!" Goku grinned before touching down in front of the two women, stunning them.
"Yo!" Goku cheerfully greeted as the black haired woman was on edge along with the blonde haired woman.
"Who are you!?" The black haired woman asked as she readied a weapon as Goku took a step back.
"Hold on! I mean you no harm! I'm just a starving man looking for food!" Goku waved his hands as the black haired woman looked at him in apprehension.
"You…want food?" The blonde woman asked as Goku grinned.
"Yep!" Goku sighed in dismay as his stomach growled again.
"So can you spare me a morsel?" Goku grinned as the black haired woman shrugged.
"Well…okay I guess." The woman conceded as the blonde woman stared at Goku as he eagerly sat down with a drooling mouth before digging into their food, much to the dismay of the women.
"Hey old man! Give me seconds!" Goku said to the bartender who blinked before doing what Goku requested of him.
For the next several minutes, Goku continued stacking plate after plate of food, both of the women grew green in the face as the pig in the black haired woman's arms looked like it was ready to spew.
"Geesh…how much does this guy eat…" The blonde woman muttered as Goku finally finished after nearly a hundred bowls.
"Thanks for the meal!" Goku thanked before belching, much to the women's disgust.
"Pig." The blonde muttered.
"What's your name anyways?" The black haired woman asked as Goku grinned.
"I'm Son Goku!" Goku grinned as both women's eyes widened.
"Wait, you mean like Son Gohan?" The black haired woman asked as Goku's grin widened.
"Yep! That's my son!" Goku laughed as the women grew even more shocked.
"No freaking way…" The blonde woman muttered before she gasped. As she noticed Goku's childish, innocent smile, a boy with short brown hair and blushing cheeks slowly materialized besides him.
"N…Naw…Nawak-"The woman muttered as both Goku and the brunette looked at her in concern.
"Hey lady, you okay?" Goku asked as the woman quickly pulled herself together.
"Y-yes, I am." The woman lied as Goku could tell the woman was lying but decided to drop the subject for now.
"Anyways, who're you two?" Goku asked as the two women blinked, slightly caught off guard with how casual Goku was.
"Oh uh….I'm Shizune and this is Lady Tsunade, the world's strongest woman." Shizune explained as Goku pointed at Tsunade in shock.
"What!? Seriously!?" Goku exclaimed as Tsunade smirked.
"Damn right." Tsunade smirked before noticing as Goku couldn't take his eyes off her.
"What the hell are you staring at?" Tsunade glared as Goku blinked.
"Oh well….you just don't seem all that strong." Goku bluntly stated as Tsunade glared at him.
"What!?" Tsunade growled as Goku shrugged.
"You seem kinda like a twig." Goku said as Shizune stared at Goku like he was insane.
"Oh…crap…." Shizune said as she could literally feel the anger radiating from Tsunade.
"Not that strong, huh? Like a twig? Well then, let's put it there." Tsunade smugly smirked as she held out her hand.
"What's that?" Goku blinked as Tsunade deadpanned.
"It's an arm wrestle, dumbass. You put your hand in my hand and we wrestle to see who's stronger but don't get surprised wh-"Tsunade didn't even get to finish before Goku brought her arm down.
"Okay I win!" Goku laughed.
"Hey wait! I'm not!" Tsunade yelled before Goku beat her again.
"I'm not r-!"Tsunade tried yelling before Goku brought her arm down again a third time.
"I'm not ready you jackass!" Tsunade yelled as Goku sheepishly laughed.
"Oh sorry!" Goku laughed as Shizune and Tonton deadpanned.
"Just who is this guy…" Shizune muttered as the chef from earlier came with their bill.
"Ma'am, this is your bill." The man handed Tsunade her bill who nearly had a heart attack as Shizune turned pale at the number.
"Oh my god!" Shizune nearly fainted as Tsunade's face turned red with anger.
"Hey you rude asshole! You're pay-"Tsunade tried turning to Goku before realizing he was gone.
"Uh…my lady?" Shizune blinked as Tsunade balled the bill in her fist before breaking the table in rage.
"I'M GONNA KNOCK HIS HEAD OFF THE NECK TIME I MEET HIM!" Tsunade yelled as Tonton oinked in fear in Shizune's arms.
"Whew! And here all I wanted to do was get Gohan back…" Goku flew before coming across a village with that was literally hidden in trees.
"Alright! I think this is it! Wait….a sec…" Goku cheered at first before sensing battle in the area.
"What is going on here?" Goku asked as he noticed a pack of sound nin surround a man with blank white eyes in all directions.
"That guy's completely surrounded! Hold on!" Goku said as he flew to the man's aid.
(Insert DBS Ost: Android 17 theme)
"Heh! What a fool! He's completely alone!" The sound nin smirked as Hiashi narrowed his eyes at them.
"Do not underestimate the Hyuga Clan, the strongest clan in the Leaf!" Hiashi warned as he readied himself to attack.
At least until…
"KAIOKEN!" Goku yelled he easily knocked away and swatted all the sound nin, much to Hiashi's surprise as Goku lost his red aura.
"You okay, dude?" Goku asked as Hiashi raised an eyebrow.
"He looks just like Gohan!" Hiashi thought before regaining his composure.
"Yes I am. Thank you. And what was that you used?" Hiashi asked.
"That was my Kaioken." Goku said as Hiashi raised an eyebrow.
"Kai…o….ken?" Hiashi questioned, clearly not familiar with the name.
"Yeah. But anyways, what's going on here?" Goku asked, pointing to the unconscious ninja he caused.
"It's a war….the Sound and Sand Villages have banned together to attack us." Hiashi explained as Goku's eyes widened.
"Well that explains it. Thanks for telling me, ghoul-eyes dude! See ya!" Goku said as he flew off as Hiashi's eyes twitched for several reasons.
"Did he….just fly? And 'ghoul eyes'?" Hiashi asked as Goku looked to see Team Guy fighting their own hoard of Sound ninja.
"Hey kids! Look out! Kaioken!" Goku yelled as a red aura surrounded him as he knocked out and easily defeated the sound nin.
"You kids okay?" Goku asked as Team Guy could hardly believe what just happened.
"This guy's fast!" Tenten exclaimed.
"That red aura! It's just like my Gates!" Lee noted.
"Hey wait! You look like Gohan…are you his…." Neji began asking.
"Yeah." Goku confirmed as Team Guy looked at Goku like he grew a second head.
"No way!" Lee and Tenten simultaneously yelled.
"But wait, we thought you were dead." Neji said as Goku's eyes narrowed.
"Yeah….a lot of things happened. But I hear there's a war?" Goku asked.
"Uh…yeah….but still…how are you alive?" Tenten asked as Goku shook his head.
"We can talk later. Why don't I help you guys out?" Goku suggested.
"Guys?" Tenten turned to her teammates.
"If he's Gohan's dad, he could be just as strong if not stronger." Lee said.
"It could be. Okay, we'll accept your help Mr-"Neji tried saying before Goku was already gone.
"….Well he's….impatient…." Tenten blinked.
"He's definitely different from Gohan in that regard…" Lee muttered.
As the Leaf nin battled the Sound Nin, the sound of "KAIOKEN!" rang through their ears as everyone turned to see a red flame knock out and literally knock away all the enemy ninja.
"No way!" Asuma said.
"Who is that!?" Kurenai wondered as Goku touched down in front of everyone.
"Hey, who are you!?" Aoba asked as all the ninja stood on guard, they didn't need any more enemies.
"Where are you from!?" Izumo demanded as he readied a kunai as Goku turned back to face them.
"It's okay! I mean you all no harm!" Goku said as everyone was immediately reminded of Gohan.
"This guy…" Kakashi said as Inoichi stood like he nearly saw a ghost.
"No way…no freaking way…" Inoichi said as some of the Leaf ninja noticed his expression.
"Inoichi, what's wrong?" Choza Akimichi asked.
"It's him! It's Gohan's father!" Inoichi said as all the Leaf ninja's eyes all widened in shock and realization.
"WHAT!?" All the Leaf village ninja yelled.
"But wait! I thought he died!" Shikaku said.
"That explains the resemblance." Kakashi said as Guy couldn't stop looking at Goku.
"That red flame around him….it's just like my Eight Gates technique…" Guy thought before snickers from the sound nin got everyone's attention.
"Hate to break up trivia hour but there's an invasion here!" The sound nin all charged at Goku.
"Run!" Kurenai tried yelling to Goku who stood his ground.
"Heh, don't worry about me!" Goku yelled before flying at the enemy ninja as he easily disposed of them with all the Martial Arts he used as a child.
"Huh? Not that big and bag, huh." Goku shrugged as everyone around could hardly believe their eyes.
(End DBS OST: Android 17 Theme)
"He took care of all of them….with no sweat…." Kotetsu muttered.
"And I thought Gohan was strong…" Genma shook his head.
"No kidding." Ibiki agreed.
The rookies below were even more shocked.
"That guy…is Gohan's dad?" Shikamaru blinked.
"He's so strong!" Choji added, not having an appetite.
"And we haven't even seen the surface of his power…" Ino crossed her arms as Goku turned to the Leaf ninja.
Team Dosu were just as lost for words.
"No freaking way…..he's even stronger than Gohan!" Zaku spat as Kin was lost for words.
Karin meanwhile stared at the back of Goku in awe.
As she sensed his aura she noticed how his aura was even brighter than Gohan's!
"So I hear we're in a war? Why?" Goku asked.
"It's because of the rogue ninja Orochimaru. Right now he's battling the Third Hokage as we speak." Kakashi explained as Goku closed his eyes before they jolted open.
"I can sense it! One nasty power and one power that's waning. I gotta go and help him!" Goku said before taking off in a flame of energy and rushing over to the Chunin Exams stadium.
"…..Did he just fly?" Anko blinked.
"Hehe….yeah…" Kakashi chuckled as everyone turned their gaze over to him.
Goku raised an eyebrow as he took note of the large purple barrier on top of the Hokage tower.
"What's that?" Goku asked as the Sound Four took notice of Goku touching down.
"Did he just fly?" A teen with multiple arms asked.
"He did!?" A portly teen noted as Goku looked at them.
"Hey! What's going on here!? And what's this barrier?" Goku demanded as the Sound Four smirked at him.
"Look at this dickhead! Trying to be a hero?" The red haired female of the group smirked.
"Who are you guys supposed to be?" Goku raised an eyebrow as he donned a serious expression.
"We're the henchmen of Lord Orochimaru. And right now we can't have you get in our wa-"The light blue haired boy of the group tried to say before Goku phased in right between them.
"HA!" Goku yelled as his raw power was able to easily dispel the barrier the Sound Four had set up, much to the shock of Orochimaru, Hiruzen and the ninja watching.
"What!? That man was able to shatter the barrier so easily?" One of the Anbu watching questioned.
"But how? Who is this guy?" One of the Anbu asked as Orochimaru and Hiruzen could only stare at the orange clad man in astonishment.
"Who…is this guy?" Hiruzen asked as the summoned Enma stared at Goku in shock.
"This man….he smells like Gohan…." Enma observed while Orochimaru's eyes narrowed at the man.
"He…reminds me of Gohan…." Orochimaru muttered, instantly not liking this before turning his gaze to the elderly man before him.
"What's wrong, Sarutobi-Sensei!? Has that old age of yours finally gotten to you!?" Orochimaru charged at Hiruzen who grit his teeth at his former student.
"I may be old but my spirit will not waver! You will die here today, Orochimaru!" Hiruzen vowed.
Goku narrowed his eyes at the snake-look-alike sannin.
"So that must be Orochimaru." Goku said as something about the rogue sannin reminded Goku of the evil space tyrant, Frieza.
As Goku tried flying to Orochimaru, he was cut off with a hook to the face by the portly Sound Ninja sending him flying to the ground before he caught himself in the air.
"Okay what gives?" Goku asked as the four ninja ninja smirked at him.
"Sorry old man but we won't let you get in the way of Lord Orochimaru!" The light blue haired teen stated as Goku gazed at the four.
"And who are you four?" Goku questioned.
"The name's Sakon." Sakon smirked.
"Kidomaru." Kidomaru introduced himself.
"Jirobo." Jirobo crossed his arms.
"And I'm Tayuya, the fuck it is to you?" Tayuya got her hand on her flute ready.
Goku narrowed his eyes at the four teens before shaking his head.
"Sorry but you can't defeat me." Goku stated, much to the teens' outrage.
"What was that!?" Kidomaru glared at Goku who was unfazed at his anger.
"Just stating facts. Give up or I'll be forced to fight you guys. And I don't like beating people weaker than me." Goku said as Tayuya pulled her flute out much to Goku's confusion.
"A flute?" Goku raised an eyebrow.
"I'll take this shit head out myself!" Tayuya yelled as she and the four nin charged at Goku who smirked.
(Insert Naruto Ost: Sound 5 Battle Theme 1-Flute Version)
"Heh, this'll be easy!" Goku smirked as he braced himself for Jirobo's attack.
"ARHAT FIST!" Jirobo yelled as he tried sending Goku flying away but to no avail as Goku stood his ground with no difficulty on his end.
"What the!?" Jirobo blinked as he grit his teeth.
"Sorry was that supposed to hurt me?" Goku crossed his arms as the amusement in his voice served to ignite Jirobo's anger.
"Who is this guy?" Sakon looked at Goku in interest as Jirobo grit his fingers into the earth below.
"You bastard….mock me will you!? Eat this! EARTH STYLE: SPHERE OF GRAVES!" Jirobo yelled as he threw a huge chunk of earth at Goku.
"The dumbass! It'll take his head off!" Tayuya scoffed as Goku stood his ground.
"Heh! This is just like fighting the Ginyu Force back on Namek." Goku said as he powered up, causing the huge rock to disintegrate into millions of people.
"No way!" Jirobo yelled. However before he could fully be shocked, he was cut off with a hard knock to his sternum, courtesy of Goku's elbow.
"JIROBO!" Jirobo's teammates yelled as Jirobo was rendered unconscious from Goku's attack.
Before Sakon knew anything, he was swept from under by Goku's feet before a hard hook from Goku's fist into his face sent him flying into one of the destroyed walls of the now broken Chunin Exams stadium.
"Who the hell is this guy…." Tayuya muttered as she couldn't believe this guy was mopping the floor against them. Casually.
"That bastard!" Kidomaru yelled as he spat what looked to be spider webs?
Goku turned his head to see spider webs heading his direction.
"What the hell?" Goku asked, slightly creeped out as he used a Ki blast to blow the web to shreds.
Now it was Kidomaru and Tayuya's turns to be shocked.
"What the hell was that, old man!?" Tayuya demanded.
"A Ki Blast." Goku simply said as both ninja stared at him in shock.
"Don't fuck with me! No one can use Ki! Except for Son Gohan….." Tayuya said as Goku narrowed his eyes.
"He's my son." Goku said, much to the shock of the two teens.
"What!?" Both teens yelled.
"Heh! Well we'll kill you and get to him instead!" Kidomaru smirked as he readied a large arrow.
"This'll take your head off!" Kidomaru yelled as the arrow was sent flying mad yards towards Goku who looked unfazed.
"What an idiot-Huh!?" Kidomaru nearly fell over laughing before a harsh scream from Goku ended up sending the arrow fly the way to the sky before landing on the ground right in front of the still conscious members of the Sound Four.
"How did he-"Kidomaru couldn't even ponder his unsuccess against Goku as he was kicked away from where he was before he was sent flying downwards from the tree he was on before being caught by Goku, or rather his chest was caught by Goku's palm as he spat a mouthful of spittle before he was out.
"And that's another down." Goku said as he turned his sights towards Tayuya, the only conscious member of the Sound Four left.
Rather than feeling fear, Tayuya readied her flute.
"TRY THAT SHIT WITH ME, YOU PRICK!" Tayuya yelled before a large pack of what appeared to be demonic ogres.
"What in the?" Goku asked as Tayuya smirked.
"They react to my special song I have in this flute. Though they may not have any eyes, as long as my flute is in my hand, they'll crush you like a fucking twig!" Tayuya smirked before starting the tune on her flute as the Doki charged over to where Goku was.
"Huh? So all I gotta do is make sure you can't play that flute of yours? Thanks for telling me." Goku smiled before raising his fingers to his forehead.
"Sorry Tien but I'm gonna steal your move! SOLAR FLARE!" Goku yelled before Tayuya covered her eyes as her eyes coursed in pain.
"Damn it! That's a dick move!" Tayuya growled as she accidently dropped her flute.
"Heh!" Goku smirked before taking her flute as the light died down.
Tayuya looked over in shock to see Goku holding her flute.
"Looking for something?" Goku snickered at Tayuya's angered expression.
"YOU ASSHOLE! GIMME MY FLUTE BACK!" Tayuya yelled as Goku's smile widened.
"Okay, sure." Goku shrugged before breaking her flute in two, much to her horror.
(End Naruto OST: Sound Five Flute Theme 1)
"You….you…..you dickwipe!" Tayuya roared before a flash of white appeared in front of her.
"Who is this?" Goku blinked as he looked to see a teenager with white hair, red dots on his forehead and green eyes.
"Kimimaro!" Tayuya remarked.
"You were taking too long, Tayuya." Kimimaro remarked simply.
"Have you ascertained Son Gohan's whereabouts?" Kimimaro asked as Tayuya looked down.
"No…." Tayuya sighed before glaring at Goku.
"We tried finding him but this asswipe attacked us!" Tayuya childishly pointed at Goku.
"I see." Kimimaro said as he turned to Goku who narrowed his eyes at the name of his son.
"Why do you guys want Gohan?" Goku questioned.
"It matters not. But we will have him. By any means necessary…." Kimimaro replied before doing something very….unusual….
Kimimaro pulled out the bones of his wrists like they were swords.
"Ew! That's completely freaky!" Goku cringed as Tayuya snorted.
"Pot Meets Kettle Asshole!" Tayuya growled as Kimimaro stared emotionally at Goku.
"You mock my Kekkai Genkai?" Kimimaro simply asked as Goku smirked.
"You might be the grossest." Goku readied himself for a battle.
"Though Krillin fought that Bacterian guy all those years ago…" Goku chuckled inwardly as Kimimaro charged at Goku with his bone sword as Goku caught his bone with his hand with little to no difficulty.
Cringing slightly at the feel of Kimimaro's bone, Goku knocked Kimimaro back with a punch to his gut, nearly sending him to the tree behind him.
Kimimaro narrowed his eyes at Goku.
"You certainly are strong…" Kimimaro commented as Goku stared at Kimimaro, Tayuya and then the other Sound Ninja.
"You know…you guys don't seem so b-"Goku tried to say. However before he finish his statement, Kimimaro suddenly fell to the ground as blood trailed down his mouth as he clutched his chest.
"No…not…now…." Kimimaro grit his teeth from the blood that came from his mouth.
"Hey!" Goku tried yelling.
"Kimimaro!" Tayuya yelled as she jumped to his side.
"T-This mission….is….a failure…." Kimimaro said. Although outwardly he was stoic, inwardly he was swearing. Of all times for his body to give out on him it had to be now?
"Kimimaro?" Tayuya asked.
"Fall back…we can't….beat….this man….only continuing…will be….suicide…." Kimimaro rasped out, his eyes never leaving the father of Gohan.
"This guy…." Goku said as Tayuya picked up Kimimaro before going and retrieving her other teammates and leaving, albeit begrudgingly.
Although not without some last words for the Earth-raised Saiyan.
"EAT SHIT MOTHER FUCKER!" Tayuya flipped off Goku with both fingers before body flickering away.
"Hey wait!" Goku said before sensing the dying Third Hokage.
"I gotta help that guy!" Goku said before sensing Gohan.
"Okay…he still feels alive and strong." Goku said for clarity before flying ahead.
"What's wrong, sensei? And here I thought you'd be more challenging. I guess you really have gotten old!" Orochimaru smirked as Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.
"To think he would go as far as to revive the First and Second Hokages themselves!" Hiruzen yelled as he stared at his fellow Hokage. Although they were not in control of their actions due to Orochimaru's control.
"Both of you! You must snap out of it!" Hiruzen yelled although his pleas fell on death ears.
"And once I'm done with you, I plan on having these old fossils destroy the Leaf Village and I'll have some alone time with Gohan!" Orochimaru giggled in glee as Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.
"Then that settles it then…I must use the Forbidden Jutsu! The Reaper Death Seal!" Hiruzen yelled before slamming his hands together.
However before the jutsu could start…..
"Hey!" Goku yelled before touching down.
Hiruzen stared at Goku in shock while Orochimaru lost his smile.
"And who might you be?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes….you see I have a date with my old teacher and it is quite rude to receive uninvited visitors." Orochimaru drawled as Goku glared at Orochimaru.
"I'm Son Goku, Gohan's father." Goku answered as both Orochimaru and Hiruzen's eyes widened in shock.
"Gohan's father!? But how!?" Hiruzen exclaimed as he was sure Goku was dead. At least that was what Gohan told him.
"A long story with how I got here but I can see you're on your last legs. Don't throw your life away here, old man. I can handle him. I promise." Goku vowed, not taking his eyes off the Snake Sannin who smiled with glee at the sight of Goku.
Hiruzen would have argued with Goku but there were two points he were stumped on. He was definitely on his last leg for one and if Gohan handled Orochimaru with no problem then his father could definitely handle him.
As Goku was raring to tangle with Orochimaru, everyone turned to the sight of Jiraiya.
"Ah! What a good day it is! First I get to have an invigorating day with Sarutobi-Sensei but I get to reunite with one of my old friends too!?" Orochimaru smirked as Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru.
"Go to hell. I look forward to dealing with you myself." Jiraiya narrowed his eyes as he readied his ninja scroll before Goku turned to look at Jiraiya.
"I can handle him myself, don't worry. Get this old dude outta here!" Goku said as Jiraiya looked at Goku skeptically.
"And who are you?" Jiraiya asked, although he was immediately reminded of one of his proteges.
"This…is Goku….Gohan's father." Hiruzen explained as Jiraiya looked at Goku in disbelief.
"What!? But I thought he was dead!" Jiraiya said as Goku nearly deadpanned.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Like I said, I'll explain everything later. Get him outta here." Goku said as Jiraiya looked at Goku before remembering how he heard how casually Gohan was besting Orochimaru. If Gohan could do it, he was sure Goku could do it even better.
"Okay then…I'll leave it to you." Jiraiya said but before he could leave with Hiruzen, Goku turned to Hiruzen.
"When I was getting up here, I heard he brought those other two dudes back to life. Can they go back?" Goku asked.
"Yes. With a sealing jutsu I was about to use…" Hiruzen admitted as Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.
"And I have a good idea what he was gonna use…." Jiraiya said to himself as Goku smiled.
"I know something that can seal them. Got anything I can seal them with?" Goku asked as Hiruzen looked to Jiraiya.
"Yeah I have a scroll you can use." Jiraiya said before getting a scroll off of him and throwing it to Goku.
"Thanks. I promise I'll end this." Goku said as Jiraiya nodded.
"But if I sense something wrong, I'm coming back, whether you like it or not." Jiraiya said.
"Thanks again. And also, Old Man, you'll need this." Goku said before throwing a Senzu Bean to Hiruzen.
"Is this a!?" Hiruzen blinked.
"A Senzu Bean. I'm glad I stopped at Korin to get some…" Goku pat the brown sack in his pocket.
"A Senzu what?" Jiraiya asked as Hiruzen chuckled.
"I'll tell you later. Now let's leave Goku here to his own devices." Hiruzen said as Jiraiya body-flickered away, leaving Goku staring down Orochimaru and his two zombies.
"So you're Son Gohan's father, huh? Let me say just how much trouble your son has caused me." Orochimaru smirked as Goku returned the smirk.
"That's my boy. I gotta say I'm proud of him. But before we fight, lemme just ask this. You want my son? And you want to destroy this village? Why?" Goku asked as Orochimaru huffed.
"Why? You see my goal is to be the most powerful in this world. And that son of yours will prove to be a very nice vessel for me. The power of the Super Saiyan coursing through my veins will be enough to put even the Tailed Beasts under my control. And then this village will know my reign…" Orochimaru clenched his fists in glee as he remembered how he bit Gohan.
Goku meanwhile was barely controlling his rage at the moment. The audacity of this monster to feel the need to snuff out and destroy so many innocent lives? He reminded him so much of Frieza and why he hated him so much….
The second Orochimaru talked about using Gohan as a vessel, Goku wanted to blast him to hell the same way he did Tambourine after he killed Krillin. However….Goku wasn't that hot headed child anymore.
"And you'd even resort to Grave Robbing." Goku narrowed his eyes at the "revived" Hashirama and Tobirama Senju.
"Strength is strength after all. And it's so sad you and your son are so weak in your beliefs." Orochimaru said as Goku's eyes flickered from black to teal at the insult of his son. How dare he?
"Look. I'll give you one chance to just stop all of this. Everyone deserves a second chance. Even someone as low down and despicable as you." Goku said as Orochimaru nearly doubled over in laughter.
"Me? Are you serious? You have to be the stupidest man in existence to think someone like me would ever go to the side of righteousness and goodness." Orochimaru snorted.
"Now let's begin!" Orochimaru said as the reincarnated First and Second Hokages readied their attacks.
(Insert Naruto Ost: Orochimaru's Fighting Theme)
"Wood Style! Deep Forest Emergence!" Hashirama yelled as the tiles of the roof top morphed into wooden tree branches that aimed at Goku who powered up.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" Goku fired his childhood technique at the wood, rendering it to wood chips.
"What!?" Orochimaru gasped as Hashirame then readied another attack.
"Wood Style: Wood Golum!" Hashirama yelled as an oni-like humanoid figure tried crushing Goku with its Gigantic Hands as Goku was able to smack it away with ease before firing a Ki Blast at it.
However before Goku could turn around, Tobirama made hand signs.
"Water Style! Water Vortex Jutsu!" Tobirama yelled as Goku disappeared under what appeared to be two metres of pressurized water.
"Hmph!" Orochimaru smirked, however his smirk turned into a look of horror as aside from the wetness on Goku's clothes, it was obvious the jutsu was ineffective against the Saiyan.
"You….tried getting my clothes wet?" Goku blinked as Orochimaru glared as he pointed at Goku as a sign for the resurrected Hokage to attack.
"Flying Thunder Slash!" Tobirama yelled as he tried slashing Goku who knocked away his Kunai and sent him flying off the balcony.
As Goku followed after him, he narrowly caught the wooden dragon attempting to cleave him in half.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!" Hashirama yelled as he tried impaling Goku with his wooden Dragon who shot thin disk of Ki at it, bisecting the wooden monster.
"What in the!?" Orochimaru gasped out as Goku then pulled out the scroll Jiraiya gave him.
"Alright, better now than never!" Goku said as he pulled his hands forward before raising them to the sky.
"What the!?" Orochimaru gasped before noticing the Hokage he resurrected slowly go into the Scroll.
"EVIL CONTAINMENT WAVE!" Goku yelled as Hashirama started to go into the scroll followed by Tobirama.
Before Goku could breathe, he then put the seal on the seal, sealing the Hokage in the scroll.
"Phew…I'm glad Roshi taught me that…." Goku huffed before putting a Senzu Bean in his mouth, returning his strength to full power.
"Man I'm really glad I have these…." Goku said as the ninja watching could hardly believe their eyes.
"No way…this man….sealed away Lord First and Lord Second….and defeated them….without hardly even breaking a sweat…." One of the Anbu muttered.
"Well this is Gohan's father we're talking about…" Another of the Anbu's eyes narrowed as Goku touched back up on the Chunin Exams tower.
"Well done, to think you could seal away the First and Second Hokages all by yourself." Orochimaru snickered.
"Like I said, I'm giving you a chance to repent and change your ways. It's good for your sake." Goku narrowed his eyes before Orochimaru pulled a sword from his mouth.
"Gross!" Goku cringed at the spit and slime covering the sword as Orochimaru snorted.
"Like I said…being weak and soft-hearted gets you know where! I am the Devil and in my wake I bring HELL!" Orochimaru yelled as he charged his sword at Goku who dodged it with no problem at all.
"Well done. This is the Sword of Kusanagi, you see. And no one but save Gohan could manage to defend against it." Orochimaru smirked as Goku returned his facial expression.
"Well that's my son for you. He's always been a chip off the old block. But my forearm is enough for you." Goku teased as Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. Was this man really taking him as nothing but a joke?
"I see…well then…don't blame me when you lose your arm!" Orochimaru yelled as he viciously slashed at Goku. Although….much to his chagrin…..his arm wasn't even getting scratched….
"I've had enough of this!" Goku said before punching Orochimaru in his face and breaking the Sword of Kusanagi.
"The sword!" Orochimaru yelled as a noticeable bruise formed on its face.
"Well then…let's see how you handle this! STRIKING SHADOW SNAKE!" Orochimaru yelled as a barrage of snakes made their way towards Goku.
"Ha!" Goku yelled as he blashed them to nothing but ashes.
"Very good. You beat the little snakes but how about the BIG snakes!?" Orochimaru questioned as he summoned three blades that swarmed at Goku.
"I won't need to dodge them. HA!" Goku yelled as he knocked and blasted them away with Ki Blasts.
Orochimaru could hardly believe this….things were going so well for him….no…the invasion would still succeed. IT WOULD!
"Summoning Jutsu!" Orochimaru yelled before he summoned none other than Manda.
"Okay all these snakes are giving me bad memories of that time with Princess Snake…." Goku shuddered as Manda noticed Goku before glaring up at Orochimaru.
"OROCHIMARU! You call me to deal with one man!?" Manda demanded as Orochimaru grit his teeth.
"He's stronger than he looks…" Orochimaru reluctantly admitted as Manda glared at Goku.
"And you didn't even pay me back when I had to deal with that Gohan brat….You owe me for this, ya hear!?" Manda demanded before lunging at Goku who moved no inch further.
"The fool! I'll eat him! Heh, I wonder how he'll taste!" Manda smirked as he opened his mouth as Goku was able to catch Manda by the beak of his mouth.
Orochimaru could say nothing before jumping off as Goku flipped around Manga before slamming him down to the ground hard.
Manda coughed blood as the Anbu ninja were as speechless as ever at Goku's strength.
"Orochimaru….Damn….you…" Manda muttered before he poofed away…..Goku's strength being way too much for him.
Orochimaru then noticed Goku starting a Kamehameha.
"That again? Let's see how it works against this! TRIPLE RASHOMON!" Orochimaru yelled as a demonic gate started to erupt from the tower of the Chunin Exams building.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" Goku yelled as his attack collided with the demonic looking building.
Orochimaru grit his teeth as he could feel his attack slowly dwindle.
"Let's see you handle the second gate!" Orochimaru yelled as a Second Gate erupted behind the First One.
However…much to his chagrin, Goku's blast was pushing the second gate even further.
"No….Not Yet…..THE THIRD GATE!" Orochimaru yelled as Goku's Kamehameha overpowered the first two gates and was on its way to the Third One.
"I…will not…FAIL HERE!" Orochimaru yelled as he tried pushing against the Kamehameha…..But to no avail before he and the Gate were enveloped in the blast.
(End Naruto Ost: Orochimaru Fighting Theme)
"No way…..Did he?" One of the watching Anbu asked.
"Goku!" Jiraiya said as he touched down while Goku narrowed his eyes.
"Not yet…" Goku said as he looked to see Orochimaru who summoned back the injured Manda in an attempt to protect himself from the blast.
"Damn….you….Orochimaru….." Manda growled before his eyes closed for the last time.
Orochimaru gasped as blood fell onto the ground. His robes were in tatters and his face was covered in blood.
How? How could all this be happening to him? Things were supposed to be going his way! He was supposed to have gotten the body of Son Gohan and crush the Hidden Leaf Village and claim the life of his former sensei.
But no! This man had to literally pop out of nowhere!
Orochimaru would never admit it but he was also feeling….fear? No…it would not end this way for him!
Before Orochimaru could charge again at Goku, his body started to spasm and shudder almost like he was having a seizure.
"Not…now!" Orochimaru yelled before his held his head as Goku's eyes widened.
"What's happening?" Goku asked as Jiraiya's eyes narrowed.
"His body has begun to reject him. He's literally starting to lose himself. He's jumped from body to body but after a while the host's body will reject him." Jiraiya explained as Goku stared at Orochimaru.
"So that's why…." Goku said before much to the shock and disgust of everyone watching, Orochimaru morphed into a white scaled snake.
"His true form…" Jiraiya's eyes narrowed as Orochimaru paid his former teammate no mind.
"Now Son Goku…GIVE ME YOUR BODY!" Orochimaru snarled as he lunged at Goku who channeled his inner Ki before gathering it in his hand.
"Never!" Goku yelled as he flew at Orochimaru with his fist of Ki before going through the center of him, making him spit blood as it fell to the ground.
"It's…over…" Jiraiya said. If one could listen closely, they could hear the sadness in his voice at the death of his former friend.
"It's sad…." Goku frowned, "If only things were different….he could've been a very powerful ally…."
"Tell me…was he always like that?" Goku asked.
However before Jiraiya could answer, a reddish mist suddenly enveloped Goku before he found himself standing in what appeared to be….guts?
(Inside a Mindscape…..)
"What the? Where am I?" Goku asked, repulsed at everything around him as the voice of Orochimaru rang through the air.
"You…are within my grasp now!" Orochimaru statted as he was covered in guts as his tongue was the only visible part of him apart from his slitted eyes.
"What the!?" Goku asked before noticing all the other dead bodies around him as they were covered in the same gooey guts Orochimaru was covered in.
"Who are all these people!? Answer me!" Goku yelled as Orochimaru cackled.
"These…were nothing more than pawns in my game of Chess to being the best! And this is where you and your son will be!" Orochimaru said as he was slowly sliding over to where Goku was.
"Pawns?" Goku clenched his fists at how anyone could be so heartless…
"Yes….you see these fools were merely tools that I manipulated to follow my every whim…..All that was required was a few choice words and the moment they outlived their usefulness to me, I killed them and took over their bodies!" Orochimaru cackled as Goku's expression changed from that of disgust to one of righteous anger.
"How can you be so heartless!? So many people risk their lives because they feel obligated to do so! Like those Sound Four guys!" Goku yelled as Orochimaru laughed harder.
"Those brats are nothing but impudent gnats to me! Especially that Kimimaro trash! I'd kill himself if he wasn't so useful!" Orochimaru said as Goku's anger was nearly brought to its limits. But what he said next would forever seal this fight….
"Afer I kill you and take your body I'll go hunt down that Son Gohan brat and take his body once I get done with your body! Just the glee I'll feel when I see his face before killing him!" Orochimaru laughed as that was it for Goku before the slime and guts started covering Goku's body.
"Now Son Goku, GIVE ME YOUR BODY!" Orochimaru yelled.
However before he could advance further, an enraged scream caused Orochimaru to back away as he turned to look at Goku's transformed state. His black hair was now a standing blonde with only a single lock dropping down to his head as lightning clouded his body.
What was most scary to Orochimaru was the look in Goku's eyes…..Gone was the childish, innocent look and in its place was hatred…pure hatred…like a lion about to reign down upon its prey.
"You're scum! You're the worst and no better than Frieza! You think I'll let you touch my son!? YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!" Goku roared as the guts around him vanished as Orochimaru was sent skidding back.
"What…are….you!?" Orochimaru asked as Goku smirked.
"You claim to be the devil who'll bring hell? I am the light in the darkness your hell will bring. The answer to peace. The answer to all beings who cry out for help!" Goku replied as Orochimaru's fear was returning in full force as Goku was finishing his speech.
"ALLY TO GOOD! NIGHTMARE TO YOU, OROCHIMARU!" Goku yelled as his power in rage was enough to end the mindscape Orochimaru had caused.
All the ninja noticed the state Goku was in.
"G-Goku?" Jiraiya muttered as he couldn't even comprehend the power he was seeing. Almost like he was staring at a god…
"Get out of here!" Goku said before noticing one of the snakes of Orochimaru's remains start to wobble and vibrate before they all started rumbling like they all had seizures before something started to pop out.
In place of Orochimaru's remains was standing a super huge monster…or to be more precise….an Eight Headed Serpent…..
All the people in the Leaf Village could see the horrific transformation.
"W…what…." Kin muttered as Zaku went pale…
"I….just…soiled myself…." Zaku paled, not caring who might have heard him.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Kiba yelled.
"It's at the Chunin Exams Stadium!" Lee said as they all started dashing to the stadium.
The Leaf Jonin were just as stunned as they saw the forming creature from a mile away.
"Wait! That's where that Goku guy is!" Kurenai pointed.
"We may need to help him!" Kakashi said as the Leaf Nin all ran to what they thought was Goku's aid.
How wrong they were….
"An Eight Headed Serpent?" Goku asked as the Lightning clouded around him.
As the Serpent opened his mouth, out slithered Orochimaru.
"Wahahahaha!" Orochimaru yelled as the Beast readied its mouth for something…..
"The Power of the Saiyans…" Orochimaru began as the beast was preparing a blast very reminiscent of a Tailed Beast Bomb….
"IS MINE!" Orochimaru yelled as he fired it right at Goku.
"Shit!" Jiraiya yelled as he weaved handsigns before Goku put a hand in front of him.
"It's fine, leave it to me." Goku reassured Jiraiya.
"But-"Jiraiya tried arguing as Goku cupped his hands together.
"Super Ka-Me-Ha-Me-HA!" Goku yelled as his super attack collided with the blast of the Eight Headed Serpent. The force of the blast was strong enough to make
"What!? No! NO!" Orochimaru yelled as he tried gaining the upper hand but even with his Eight Headed Serpent Jutsu, he was still inferior to Goku.
"GO TO HELL!" Goku yelled as his blast started to levitate Orochimaru into the air as he was slowly sent flying into the sky.
"That blasted Saiyan! When I get down from here I'll rip him to shreds!" Orochimaru yelled as a heat started to sting him.
"What's the heat?" Orochimaru asked before turning to see the sun rapidly approaching him. By then, his eyes widened in horror.
"It's the sun! And I'm heading right for it! No! It can't! End this way!" Orochimaru yelled.
However the Eight Headed Serpent of Orochimaru was sent hurtling all the way into the sun. The sudden impact and force of the attack was able to make the sky turn pink as the Leaf Village rumbled and vibrated similar to that of an Earth Quake.
All the Leaf Nin had no words as they touched down to see Goku floating in his Super Saiyan 2 state.
"What…happened…." Asuma tried smoking his cigarette only for it to fall out of his mouth.
Kakashi's eyes widened as he stared at the back of Goku.
"S-Sensei!?" Kakashi asked as he could've sworn he saw the image of the Fourth Hokage right by Goku.
Goku exhaled before powering down as he turned to everyone with a smile.
"It's over guys. I can't sense him anymore." Goku said as everyone had questions in their mind.
"Uh…how are you flying?" Kotetsu asked.
"You can turn into a Super Saiyan too?" Raiga asked.
"And you really defeated Orochimaru?" Ebisu asked.
Before Goku could answer, a loud rumbling echoed around the area as everyone looked to see a sheepish looking Goku.
"Hehe, guess all that fighting worked up an appetite!" Goku rubbed his head as everyone blinked in surprise.
After all that, food was on his mind?
Izumo smiled as he held a hand to Goku.
"For saving us, I'll treat you to a meal. All you can eat." Izumo smiled at Goku.
"Really!? Thanks a ton!" Goku grinned.
Ten Minutes Later…..
Izumo had never regretted his word before now.
Goku vigorously ate through everything as everyone stared wide eyed with disturbed expressions on their faces.
"Okay…I think I'm gonna be sick…" Shikaku muttered.
"More fried rice old man!" Goku ordered the chefs as Choza blinked.
"…I think this guy eats more than all the Akimichi put together…." Choza blinked.
"Haha this is so good!" Goku laughed as all the kid ninja could hardly believe their eyes.
"This…is Gohan's father?" Tenten asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I…expected someone…more serious…." Neji blinked.
"Indeed." Lee admitted.
Kotetsu turned to his long time best friend who grit his teeth in rage. This Goku had eaten out his entire savings account as well as all the bonuses in his pay he collected.
All of the course of his ninja career. And it was lost in ten minutes…
"I want some more food!" Goku yelled as Tsume Izuzuka scowled at him.
"Quit talking with your mouth full!" Tsume barked as Goku laughed.
"Haha sorry! You know you remind me of my wife!" Goku laughed as a tickmark went over Tsume and her daughter Hana's heads.
"We're serious! Quit talking with your mouth full now!" Hana warned, ready to send her ninja hounds on this man. Never had she met anyone with such poor manners.
Goku then let out a huge belch much to the chagrin of the women in the room.
"Gohan's father is such a rude pig…" Kurenai muttered, happy that Asuma had manners.
"Okay now I have a question. How are you alive? Gohan told us you died!" Kiba asked as Goku smiled.
"Haha it's a long story. But first-" Goku began.
"But first?" Kakashi asked.
"Can I have some dessert please!?" Goku grinned as everyone lost their patience with Goku.
"HELL NO!" Everyone, even calm level-headed people like Ibiki and Kurenai shouted.
Back to Present Time…
"And that's the story of how I got here." Goku explained as everyone could hardly believe their ears.
"Wow…to think you ended up in Kumogakure…and fought the Eight Tails Jinchuuriki…." Kakashi began.
"And even met Tsunade…." Hiruzen added as Jiraiya smiled at this news. He had been searching for the blonde medic after all.
"And then you battled and kicked that Orochimaru guy's ass! Man you're really cool!" Naruto exclaimed with sparkly eyes.
"Hmph, thank god. That guy was getting to be a real pain in the ass." Sasuke crossed his arms. Well as much as he could in his current condition anyways.
"Although you attacked the Raikage! Suppose he comes here!" Sakura yelled as Goku shrugged.
"I'll just beat him again, haha!" Goku laughed as everyone reasonable person in the room deadpanned.
"…How is this guy Gohan's father again?" Shino asked as Gohan laughed.
"That's my dad!" Gohan laughed, happy that he could see his father again after so long.
"But you still didn't answer my question. If you died how'd you come here?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah I have the same question." Shikamaru crossed his arms.
"The Dragon Balls." Goku said as everyone, sans Team Seven, went blank eyes.
"….Dragon Balls?" Everyone asked.
"Like a Dragon's-"Lee tried asking before Tenten smacked his skull.
"NO!" Tenten yelled.
"Haha you're friend's right. Basically they're wish granting orbs. When all seven are gathered together, you can make any wish, including bringing the dead back to life!" Goku explained as everyone's eyes widened at his words.
"Any wish?" Karin asked.
Some people…had shallow wishes in their minds….
"I can wish to be a ninja as strong as Guy-Sensei with Sakura's Heart!" Lee thought.
"I could wish to be Sasuke's wife!" Ino gushed.
"I could wish to be Hokage!" Kiba smirked.
While other people had more…sentimental wishes….
"I could wish Obito and Rin back to life…." Kakashi thought.
"I could wish my clan back…." Sasuke thought.
"I could wish to see my parents!" Naruto thought as that was question that always bothered him.
Goku then noticed Sasuke's not so good condition.
"Hey, are you okay? What happened?" Goku asked in concern as Sasuke sighed.
"I…nearly got crushed and poisoned." Sasuke explained as Kakashi and Ino's eyes widened.
"Sasuke!?" Ino asked as Sasuke waved her off.
"They got the poison out but I'm still kinda crushed." Sasuke said to Ino and then Goku.
"Yes, he'll need to be in bed for several days." The doctor said as Goku smiled.
"No need because I have these." Goku took his brown bag of Senzu Beans out as Team Seven's eyes widened while everyone else looked at them.
"What are those?" Kurenai asked.
"Senzu Beans. They can heal any kind of injury and keep a person full for ten days." Goku smiled as the Jonin and other ninja in the room could hardly believe their ears.
"Oh yeah?" Asuma looked at the beans as Goku handed Sasuke one.
"Here take this." Goku said.
"Thanks, Goku." Sasuke thanked before taking and eating the bean.
One…Two….
Sasuke then got out of bed immediately after consuming the bean.
"No way. I feel….better! Even better than before I got crushed!" Sasuke exclaimed flexing his bones as no one could believe their eyes.
"What the hell just happened?" Kurenai blinked.
"You're asking me…." Asuma muttered.
"Okay I need one of those beans!" Choji yelled as he would love to stay full for ten days straight!
"Of course you would." Shikamaru and Kiba deadpanned.
"Whoa! It's like having a little Tsunade." Jiraiya blinked as Hiruzen smiled.
"Indeed. And I'm happy to hear she's doing better." Hiruzen said.
"Man Gohan, your dad is really something!" Shikamaru said as he and the other Rookie Ten ran over to Gohan. Goku couldn't stop the smile on his face seeing Gohan's friends worry about him.
He was about to open his mouth to say something before a scream got his attention.
"Lord Hokage! You have to see this!" Izumo yelled like he saw a ghost.
"What is it, Izumo?" Hiruzen asked.
"Some sort of green monster is in the street!" Kotetsu said.
"Green Monster?" Lee asked as Goku smiled.
"Heh! I'll bet it's-Piccolo!" Goku smiled as Piccolo made his way into the hospital room.
"Holy crap! Monster!" Ino and Choji yelled as Piccolo glared at them before he turned to smile at Gohan.
"Mister Piccolo! You're here!" Gohan happily embraced his teacher who smiled at the return of his touch.
"Yep, I couldn't let your father come here and have all the fun." Piccolo chuckled as Goku smiled.
As all the Leaf Ninja stared at Piccolo in alarm, Goku waved his hands at them.
"Now, now, Piccolo's a good guy! Believe me, he's saved my life a butt load of times!" Goku grinned.
"Yeah! He even died for me!" Gohan added.
The Leaf Ninja stared at the two in disbelief but they decided to drop it….For now….
"So where were you Mister Piccolo, I thought you would've been here earlier?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah. The guy I fought was definitely something." Goku added.
"Well let's just say…I had stuff…." Piccolo said as his mind flashed to previous events.
Winding the Clock Back a Spell….
Iwagakure….
As the orb where Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo died down, he looked to see he was in a village surrounded by what looked to be like…rocks?
"What in the?" Piccolo asked.
As he walked around he then sensed tens of people surround him at all angles.
"Halt! What are you!?" One stone ninja asked.
"Are you some sort of demon!?" A Girl with short black hair asked in amazement.
"Yeah those ears definitely scream demon!" The large boy next to her said as that comment really got to Piccolo.
"I'm not a demon! Just tell me where am I and where can I find Son Gohan?" Piccolo asked as everyone's eyes widened at the latter part of Piccolo's question as a very short man floated to him.
"Son Gohan from my understanding is in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Now what is your purpose here?" The man known as Onoki asked, his hands readying a jutsu in case Piccolo tried anything.
"I merely wish to bring him back home. He is a friend of mine. Thank you for telling me where he is." Piccolo said before flying off, much to everyone's confusion.
"That guy….was definitely weird…" Kurotsuchi muttered.
"Hey pops, who was that guy?" Akatsuchi asked as Onoki narrowed his eyes.
"No clue….but we'll definitely see him again…" Onoki said.
As Piccolo flew to where he could sense Gohan's Ki, he then noticed something down below. In a small village….a small power level was fading….
"Hmm…what's going on here?" Piccolo asked before touching down to a village where the villagers all stood as a small girl stood in front of a cave.
"Aoi…please…you don't have to do this…." A woman who appeared to be her mother practically begged.
"Mother, yes I do. For the sake of the village as well as for myself…I will do this…" Aoi said.
"Tsubaki….let her go…" An old man put his hand on Tsubaki's shoulder.
"But?" Tsubaki tried arguing as Piccolo touched down.
"What in the?" Tsubaki asked as the villagers ran away.
"DEMON!" They all yelled as Piccolo's eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"I'm really getting tired of people saying I'm a demon!" Piccolo muttered as the woman looked at the tall man.
"Um…who…are you?" Tsubaki asked.
"My name…is Piccolo. I mean you no harm. But please tell me, what's going on here?" Piccolo asked as Tsubaki's first instinct would be to run away but….she had a feeling that this Piccolo person might be an ally….
"It's….my daughter….I'm sick…and my daughter is planning on sacrificing herself to the demon of the cave in of getting the plant of the Tree of Life to save me…" Tsubaki looked as Piccolo raised a nonexistent eyebrow.
"The tree of life?" Piccolo pondered before walking to where the girl was. Just by sensing her mother however, he could tell, the woman's life was rapidly approaching to an end.
"Little Girl….I'll help you." Piccolo said as Aoi turned to look up at the tall man. While any other kid would be scared and run away, Aoi could sense no malice from Piccolo.
"B…but how?" Aoi asked as Piccolo gave her a smile. The way she was so small and innocent, it reminded the Namek of when he first met Gohan.
"Just leave it to me. I've faced far scarier enemies than this 'Black Shadow' creature." Piccolo promised before descending to the cave.
"Piccolo wait!" Tsubaki tried yelled as Aoi got in front of her.
"No…I think he can do it." Aoi smiled before frowning as her mother starting getting into a violent coughing fit.
As Piccolo descended down the cave, he noticed all the crystals in the cave. It reminded the Namek of a gold mine. However before he could truly admire the sights, he sensed something malice and foul nearby.
"Alright! Come out! You can stop hiding!" Piccolo yelled as a large wolfish-creature appeared before Piccolo.
"What…are you…doing here!? You will not interfere in my ritual!" Black Shadow yelled as Piccolo smirked.
"So you're the all powerful demon? I've fought lizards stronger than you." Piccolo snorted.
"Silence! But how about I offer you a proposition? You join me!" Black Shadow offered as Piccolo had to fight the urge to roll his eyes.
"And why would I do that?" Piccolo nearly scoffed as Black Shadow smirked.
"Think about it…We could rule this world together and get even stronger than the Tailed Beasts themselves! What do you say!?" Black Shadow offered as Piccolo snorted.
"You know the funny thing? A couple of years ago I might have said yes but now? GO TO HELL!" Piccolo yelled before shooting several blasts at the beast. Black Shadow screamed in alarm before noticing none of the blasts hit him.
"You fool! You couldn't even connect your attacks!" Black Shadow laughed as it was Piccolo's turn to laugh.
"No. You're the fool. HELLZONE GRENADE!" Piccolo yelled as Black Shadow's eyes widened for half of a second before he was suddenly bombarded and assaulted by tens of energy blasts. The force of the attacks killed the beast instantly.
"And that's that." Piccolo smiled before taking the nectar of the tree of life before leaving the cave.
Both of the women worried for Piccolo's safety before he arrived from the cave without a scratch on him.
"Piccolo! You did it!" Aoi happily hugged the Namekian who pet her his with a small smile of his own.
"Piccolo…I can't thank you enough…." Tsubaki gave Piccolo a smile as he handed her the remains of the Tree of Life.
"Think nothing of it." Piccolo said as he turned around….but not before….
"Will I see you again?" Aoi innocently asked as Piccolo chuckled.
"Of course, kid." Piccolo promised before flying to the Leaf Village….
Back to Regular Time…
As Piccolo finished his tale it looked like everyone who was in fear of Piccolo was starting to warm to him.
Sans Team Seven since they saw his good deeds in Gohan's memories.
"That's just like you Piccolo, saving and helping people." Gohan smiled.
"I…guess he's not so bad after all." Choji said.
"I dunno…I'm keeping Akamaru from him…" Kiba said as everyone deadpanned.
"Seriously, dog breath?" Naruto shook his head.
"What was that!?" Kiba yelled.
"Yes! Because I want you and that mutt on a silver platter with a side of Kianti beans!" Piccolo scoffed as Kiba jumped into Shino's arms.
"Get off of me." Shino warned.
Lee and Guy however stared at Piccolo before smiling broadly.
"This guy…isn't actually green! He's…a fan of ours!" Guy exclaimed with flames as everyone stared at the two like they were crazy.
"Uh…." Goku blinked.
"What?" Piccolo asked as Lee put a hand on Piccolo's shoulder.
"He's painted himself green to symbolize his power of youth! Why I bet he isn't much older than Gohan!" Lee beamed as Gohan and Goku laughed at the irony of Lee's words.
"I've got it! Our flames of youth have spread so far across the nations he wants to be just like us! Thank you…for the support!" Guy was openly crying as Piccolo had never been more disturbed than he had been now.
"What are you two on?" Sasuke asked as he had ignored.
"PICCOLO! WILL BE ONE OF US!" Guy hugged Piccolo much to his disgust.
"What the!? Get off me you lunatic!" Piccolo tried shoving Guy off before Lee jumped on as well.
"PICCOLO IS THE BEST!" Lee embraced Piccolo as Naruto, Gohan and Goku laughed their butts off while everyone looked like they had second hand embarrassment.
"Help me!" Piccolo turned to Goku who was dying laughing.
"No way man! I'm too busy laughing!" Goku laughed as Piccolo wished he could break Goku's legs again.
As Gohan finished laughing he turned to his friends.
"Oh yeah, where's that rude asshole anyways?" Sakura asked as Gohan blinked.
"Rude asshole? Oh yeah! Vegeta! You said he was here right? I wonder where he is…" Gohan turned to his father who laughed nervously.
"If I know Vegeta probably getting into trouble somewhere…" Goku snorted.
With Vegeta
Kirigakure
Mei Terumi sighed as she finished the biggest bane to any Kage anywhere; paperwork. As Mei was preparing to get herself a midday drink, in came two of her personal ninja.
"Ao, Chojuro? What brings you two here?" Mei asked.
"You'll never believe this my lady! At first this weird orb thing came out of the sky and nearly destroyed the village!" Chojuro began as Mei raised an eyebrow at this bizarre news.
"Destroy?" Mei questioned.
"Indeed. And out of it came a man." Ao added as Mei put a hand to her chin in thought.
"And something like this happened in the Leaf all those months back…..where is the man now?" Mei asked.
"He's not really talking but he's still here." Chojuro answered as Mei got up from her desk.
"I see. Let's go talk to him." Mei said as both boys followed behind her, unsure.
Vegeta scoffed as he was being interrogated.
"Who are you!? Where are you from!?" A Mist Kunoichi asked.
"What is your purpose here!?" A Mist Ninja demanded.
Vegeta seriously was not liking their threatening tone. He just wanted to find that damned son of his rival. He then noted a beautiful woman, although being second to Bulma like every other woman of course, and two ninja by her side.
"Well he's handsome." Mei blushed with a smile before composing herself.
"Excuse me. You are in my village, the Village Hidden in the Mist. Now may I please ask your name and what you're doing here?" Mei asked as Vegeta felt slightly compelled to answer her. After all the Prince of Saiyans respected strength and he could tell she was the strongest out of this insignificant village.
"I am Vegeta and I'm looking for the snot nosed brat Son Gohan. He's my…kin in a way. So tell me where he is." Vegeta crossed his arms as the ninja glared at him.
"How dare you! That's Lady Mizukage!" Chojuro growled, upset that anyone could disrespect someone as powerful and kind as Mei Terumi!
"I advise you show her respect!" Ao put his hand to his side as he glared down the shorter man.
Vegeta paid the two Mist Ninja no mind as Mei smirked at Vegeta's attitude.
"Bad boy huh?" Mei joked as Vegeta offered her a blank look in return.
"He's in Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Mei smiled as Vegeta nodded.
"Thanks for the info." Vegeta said. However before he could turn he noticed Mei pull something out.
"Here take this. Just in case you get into any cold days." Mei winked as Vegeta looked at what she was offering him. It was a high collared green jacket?
Vegeta shrugged before wordlessly taking the jacket.
From a short distance away a boy looked at Vegeta in curiousity.
"This guy…seems cool!" The boy said before charging at Vegeta and before anyone knew anything, the boy came down from the sky with a sword in hand as Vegeta easily swiped the sword away before bringing down the boy with his foot on his chest.
"So fast!" Chojuro said.
"Remove your foot from him!" Ao ordered as Mei smirked.
"So…a tough guy to boot." Mei grinned as Vegeta glared at the boy. He noticed the boy had short white hair, purple eyes, sharp teeth, a purple shirt and white pants with the Kirigakure headband wrapped around his head. Vegeta was oddly reminded of Trunks for some reason.
"What's the big idea brat?" Vegeta asked as the kid smirked.
"I like you Vegeta. The name's Suigetsu by the way." Suigetsu smirked as Vegeta removed his foot from his chest.
"Watch yourself, brat. Don't get your head cut off." Was all Vegeta said before flying off, much to the astonishment of the ninja below.
"Did that guy just fly!?" Chojuro yelled with blank eyes behind his glasses.
"…I…it appears so…" Ao answered.
"I hope to see you again Vegeta…" Mei smiled as Suigetsu nearly had gleaming eyes as he stared at Vegeta until he became a tiny dot in the sky.
"I'm definitely gonna get him to train me! He's the coolest!" Suigetsu pumped his fists as he declared his vow.
As Vegeta flew through the sky, he took note of the carnage that was going down at a small village below.
"Hmm…weird." Vegeta said before touching down as he looked at the sign of the village he was at.
"Yugakure?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow before noticing the steam arising from around the village.
"And what's with all the dying power levels I sense?" Vegeta asked before going to the source. A couple of years ago, he would've ignored the dying around him but now? It's a testament to how he was slowly changing….
"Hehe! What're you all scared for!? Ain't you all happy to see me after all the years I was gone!?" A man with white hair wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it cheered as all the villagers ran off.
"Honestly, Hidan. Can you be more annoying?" A taller man wearing the same cloak rolled his eyes at Hidan's childish attitude.
"Oh shut the fuck up, Kakuzu! Learn how to get that stick outta your ass once in a while!" Hidan chortled as Kakuzu grit his teeth in frustration. Of all the people to be paired with….
"Have you forgotten our mission?" Kakuzu asked as his mind remembered the task his leader assigned the two of them.
Within an undisclosed location, ten figures stood on top of a hideous looking statue with ten eyes that were closed. At the center of all this stood a man with a bizarre looking Dojutsu. While the Sharingan and Byakugan were well known through the Shinobi World, this man had….purple ringed eyes?
"So what did you drag us together for?" A fish-like man asked as his partner stood by with Sharingan eyes.
"It's to discuss someone….have you all heard of the person Son Gohan?" The Leader asked.
"Well yeah. What about him?" A man asked. And if one got close to him, they'd see he had mouths on his hands.
"Yeah, I've about about him. Nearly a year ago he landed in the Leaf Village?" A member resembling a puppet asked.
"Precisely Sasori. It's been said he can use Ki first of all." The Leader said, much to the astonishment of everyone present.
"That I can attest to. Not only that…it seems he can toy with Jonin level ninja just as easily as we can. He's fought against foes such as Zabuza Momochi and Orochimaru and even toyed with them from what I heard. At only the young age of eleven." The Sharingan member of this meeting added.
"Zabuza? Orochimaru?" The man with hands on his hands blinked.
"So what? We can beat those shit heads too." Hidan shrugged.
"Shut up." Kakuzu stated in annoyance.
"This kid sounds more like an annoyance, Deidara." Sasori said.
"I agree."Deidara agreed.
"I even heard he was marked by Orochimaru." The man with Sharingan stated much to the shock of everyone.
"And he's been said to have some sort of Kekkai Genkai…called….the Super Saiyan." The Sharingan wielding man added as the members of the group stared in confusion.
"Super Saiyan?" Sasori question.
"The hell is that?" Deidara and Hidan asked in unison.
"It sounds like some sort of cheap trick." Kakuzu said.
"If he's that strong at that young of an age and he's been marked by Orochimaru then he'll need to be dealt with before he becomes a nuisance to us." A woman with a flower in her hair stated.
"Precisely." The leader agreed.
"Oh! Let me! I wanna fight against this Super whatever!" Hidan yelled as Kakuzu rolled his eyes as the leader saw no problem with that. After all, Hidan and Kakuzu were the immortal duo.
"Alright then, Hidan and Kakuzu. I leave the assassination mission of Son Gohan to you two. And I hear Son Gohan is in the Leaf Village so if you can help it, try to get the Nine Tails too." The Leader ordered.
"Consider it done." Kakuzu said.
"Then this meeting is adjourned." The Leader ended the meeting as everyone went back to whatever they were doing beforehand.
As Hidan continued torturing his former fellow homeland villagers, he noticed a girl run away before falling right in front of him.
Tears coursed down her eyes as he smirked evilly down at her.
"Little kid goes bye bye!" Hidan smirked as he moved to kill the girl.
However before he could do anything the girl was moved away and aside by Vegeta.
"Run. Now!" Vegeta ordered the girl who ran off in a frenzy panic hoping to find her parents.
Hidan snorted at the sight of Vegeta as Hidan raised an eyebrow.
"Hey Kakuzu! Look at this guy! What!? You trying to be a hero!?" Hidan laughed as it was Vegeta's turn to snort.
"Hell no. You were just annoying me with your incessant shouting. So shut the hell up already." Vegeta smirked as Hidan jeered at him.
"You're a funny bastard aren't you." Hidan laughed as Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
"Now what the hell are you clowns after?" Vegeta asked as both men glared at him for the 'clown' comment.
"Clowns!? Listen here you d-"Hidan tried to say before Kakuzu tapped his shoulder.
"We're on a mission to find and kill Son Gohan in the Leaf Village. He's getting too strong for his own good." Kakuzu explained as Vegeta looked at the rogue Takigakure nin in interest.
"Isn't that the truth?" Vegeta snorted.
"So if you just stand out of the way, we'll let you live." Kakuzu said as Vegeta stared at the two before laughing.
"Let me…live? Let me tell you two dumbasses something. How about you just leave you and go back to whatever shit cave you came from and I won't drill you two together, how's that sound?" Vegeta laughed as Hidan glared at him.
"Oh shut the fuck up already! You short fuck!" Hidan jeered as Vegeta's eyes twitched.
"….What…did you…call me?" Vegeta grit his teeth as Hidan walked up to the shorter man before smirking down on him.
"You heard me! Short ass! What're you? 5'2? 5'3?" Hidan jeered as Vegeta clenched his fists.
"Hidan, enough already." Kakuzu said as Hidan ignored him.
"It's okay to be short, you dumbass garden gnome." Hidan continued mocking Vegeta who closed his eyes as his rage was slowly getting to him.
However what Hidan said next would forever seal his fate…..
"You know you even smell like a monkey! Huh!? Monkey boy!" Hidan laughed as Vegeta's eyes had widened in a rage he hadn't felt in years.
"What…did you…just CALL ME!?" Vegeta thundered.
Kakuzu raised an eyebrow at Vegeta's demeanor.
"Huh? You got a problem, you dumbass monkey? I bet you lived in a cage all your life and got shit thrown at you! Not that I don't believe that of course? Monkey Boy!" Hidan mocked Vegeta before making "ooh ooh" noises.
"Oh that is it….." Vegeta clenched his fists as he would definitely beat this asshole down.
"Eat a dick! C'mon Kakuzu let-"Hidan tried leaving before Vegeta kicked the rogue ninja hard in his chest.
Hidan barely had time to cough before Vegeta was on top of him.
"You see, you've made the mistake of pissing me off. I hadn't had a fight today, you see. But beating on you will feed my hunger for battle!" Vegeta smirked as Hidan picked himself up as he readied his staff.
"Oh the monkey wants to battle! Well then….Lord Jashin…" Hidan began as he grabbed his staff from his back.
"I'LL FEED YOU ANOTHER SACRIFICE!" Hidan vowed before he charged Vegeta as he smirked, readying himself for battle.
The Battle against Saiyan and Akatsuki started….
(Saiyan Shinobi Ending: Mikansei na Hikari-Tachi by Haruka Fukuhara)
The music starts as the endings pans to a look of the Leaf Village followed by a close up look of Sasuke's room.
Surechigatta kaze wa mou
Atarashii kisetsu no nioi
Kimi ga te o furu sukoshi tere kusa sou ni
Sasuke walks around town with his hands in his pocket with a sullen look on his face.
Mikansei na hikaritachi
Kasanatte wa mada chirabaru
Nee doko he yuku no?
Sorezore no ashita he to
A picture of Sasuke's family is shown during happier days before the picture cracks showing how his family was destroyed.
Ah massugu na sono hitomi no mama de
Omoi egaita yume o tsukamu made
Sou kimi no hohaba de kizamu ashiato
Chanto miteru yo
As Sasuke stares out the window of his home, he walks around before noticing an orange and blue Gi, making him smile.
Itsuka mukai kaze no naka o
Aruki dashita kimi ga
Mabushiku hikaru itai hodo aoi sora ni
Sasuke then thinks of his team mates during the missions during the Bell Test, the Land of Waves Mission and the Chunin Exams.
Utsumu ga nai you ni tachidomaranai you ni
Namida ga kyuu ni afuredashita nara
As Sasuke sits on the edge of a pier, the darkness of his past starts to surround him before it slowly turns to light as Naruto and Sakura sit by him while a hand starts reaching out to him.
Wasurenai de koko ni iru yo
Donna ni hanarete itatte
Sasuke then remembers the intimate moments with his team such as team hanging out, chilling and even sillier moments like him getting onto Gohan and Naruto whenever they acted childish.
Daijoubu da yo hitori janai yo
The darkness around completely fades as the hand reaching out to him is none other than Son Gohan himself.
And….I HOPE that chapter was worth three months of waiting! ^_^
OMFG we had SO MUCH in this chapter! Like I said at the beginning this chapter was long as heck and that's NO exaggeration! This chapter has 20,000 words! NO JOKE! I profess I originally intended to end this chapter after Goku's battle with Orochimaru BUT with me making you guys wait for three months I decided to add in more. A LOT more so hopefully that made up for me being gone! XD
But as a small recap, there was SO MUCH world-building in this chapter! So many characters in one chapter! Kinda crazy XD
And I hope I made how Goku and Co. got to the Naruto world believable! After all this is fanfiction so everything goes! XD
But yeah what was your favorite part? Goku fighting Killer Bee, the Raikage, the Sound Four plus Kimimaro and Orochimaru or him encountering Tsunade and making her remember Nawaki with his personality? Piccolo saving the little girl and her mother? (Which I should remind you all that Aoi, Tsubaki and Black Shadow were part of a game called Ultimate Ninja 4 which I actually played a couple of months back!) or Vegeta forming a relationship (well whatever you wanna call it) with Suigetsu and also coming face to face with the AKATSUKI of all people!? =D Yep they've set their their eyes on Gohan! Only a matter of time, right?
I also hope you all liked how I made Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta land in different villages! Yeah I based it on their personalities! Since Goku is as fluffy and free like the clouds I had him land in the Cloud Village, I had Piccolo land in the Hidden Stone Village since he's as hard as a rock and due to his bloody past, what better village for Vegeta to land in than in Blood Mist Village!?
Also as Hidan's gonna learn NEVER make fun of a short person. Yep every one of us that's below 5'3 understand Vegeta's rage XD
Also I hope you all liked the songs I picked for this arc! =D
Over the Top is just amazing and well…OVER THE TOP! =D And Mikansei na Hikaritachi is heartwarming in of itself! Go give them a listen right now! You will NOT be disappointed ^_^ Now don't worry I will NOT have the songs in EVERY chapter since I feel that'd be repetitive and annoying! XP And don't worry when the songs change you all WILL now! XD
And speaking of songs, I hope you all liked how I had OST in some parts of the chapter. I only chose those parts since I thought they fit there the most! Cause let be honest Anime hives us some darn good OST! Don't worry I won't go too overboard with my song placements and if I do please let me know! XD
And also I need to say something, to everyone giving Man of Wrath crap in his fanfiction Mirai Shinobi, LEAVE HIM ALONE! Seriously! It's been four years and he did his story and finished it the WAY he wanted to! If he wants to nerf characters its HIS pregorative so leave the dude alone! And for people giving him crap for getting fed up and lashing back at the haters, given how he's been patient with these guys for four years I say he's VERY MUCH JUSTIFIED in going off on these trolls. Just learn to spread kindness before harassing a guy on his story. Okay? Okay.
Now, with all that said and done, I just wanna say thank you all SO MUCH for supporting this story in its thirty chapters released since its publication nearly TWO YEARS AGO and I hope you continue supporting this story until its completion! ^_^
And with the elephant in the room, I wanna say that due to me making you all wait for three months I will NOT do my standard "one chapter every two weeks" thing! Chapter 32 will be coming NEXT THURSDAY August 22nd so expect it then! ^_^
Like always please let me know your thoughts on this chapter and the story as a whole and until next week, stay beautiful and classy! ^_^
SO HAPPY TO BE BACK! =D
