Back again! Are you ready to keep on rocking with this story!? Once again I have pulled out a lot of stops in order to add greater detail to these older chapters, and even changed things up a slight bit. I look forward to experiencing this tale of heroes with all of you. First thing's first, no pun intended, we finally have the first guest review for the rewrite!

All for Anime- Glad you like it so far! I definitely plan to show Fu's meeting with Anko at some point. The civilian council will definitely be giving the lovebirds some crap.

With that out of the way, let's get on with the chapter! I don't own Dragon Ball, Naruto or the surprise third series. I do own OC characters, objects, concepts, and creatures unless stated otherwise. Roll tape!... Guys?

James: Sorry! Meowth pressed the wrong button!

Meowth: I did not! I stopped Jess from startin' up one of dem old chapters from da Milla story!

Jessie: Well if the author would label these things properly…

Inkaliber: Forget it! I'll press the button up here! Yeesh!

Unknown Building, Unknown Location

Fu's eyes fluttered open as he awoke from his slumber. He scanned around his room, quickly noticing the strange feeling in the air. He had a queen size bed, white carpet, brown bookshelves, and a brown bedside table. In spite of the odd feeling, nothing was out of place. Even the suspicious note on his table was the same as it was before.

He closed his eyes as he let sleep take him once more. He probably had more time before… His eyes shot open as realization hit him. He quickly turned back over, finding the very out of place item.

'Where the heck did that come from?' thought Fu. He sat up as he grabbed the note, flipping it around in his fingers. Curiosity quickly taking over, the teen opened the paper. He furrowed his brow as he read over the message a few times. "Enjoy. S."

The purple man hummed as he flipped the paper closed. It was obvious to him that the message came from Shenron, though that did nothing to answer his questions. He couldn't make heads or tails of the situation. He got up and switched to his exercise clothes, hoping to shrug off the cryptic note. He slid on his slippers before making his way to the other end of the room.

He opened the door that usually led to the temple, only to be met with an unfamiliar hallway. He tried to find any other energies, finding several familiar ones outside. Not knowing whether the individuals were friendly or not, the teen tread down the corridor carefully. He felt his way along the cream walls, hoping to find a light switch. He soon found the device in question, flipping it into the on position.

The floor below him was made of hard wood, freshly waxed as if it was brand new. The teen quickly shook his head as he sighed. "No time to be examining every single detail." He soon reached an opening in the hall, quickly shuffling towards it. His jaw dropped as he got a good look at the room before him.

He was standing above a large living room, the stairs merely a foot away. He definitely wasn't in the temple any more. The room he was in had a cream colored couch, a matching chair close by. Both pieces of furniture sat upon a rug, a brown table resting in front of them. The coup de gras of the room was the large TV that hung upon the wall.

Fu quickly ran down the stairs as he approached the furniture. He rubbed his hand over the cushion of the couch, surprised by its softness. The chair was obviously made from the same material, the pattern matching up precisely. He moved to sit in the seat, only to suddenly turn his head as he noticed a nearby opening. He had discovered the kitchen, and it was nothing to sneeze at itself.

There was a large refrigerator that looked big enough to harbor a good amount of food. It sat in the middle of a marble counter, towering above the tile floor. Upon the left counter stood a standard microwave akin to one of the current era of West City. A nice long table completed the set as it sat in the middle of the room, a cream table cloth over it. A stainless-steel dishwasher, a sink of the same material, an electrical oven, and some brown cabinets stood opposite of the fridge.

He opened the fridge and pulled out an apple, quite surprised by how far back the object went. He smirked as he shut the door, walking away with a satisfied sigh. "I'm kinda liking this. If this is Shenron's doing, then I don't see a need to complain." He chowed down on the fruit as he made his way to what he assumed to be the laundry room.

He dropped the food soon after opening the door, his eyes widening in disbelief. He stumbled upon a small dojo. It had the same hardwood floor as the living room, a beige mat acting as the arena. Some wooden targets rested against a wall, barrels holding various training weapons close by. The piece de resistance was a shrine that resembled the statue form of the Time-Space Shenron, its head hovering over a bowl full of water.

He opened a nearby sliding door, coming face to face with the laundry room. The only differences between it and the dojo were a dryer, a washing machine, and some wooden cabinets. That wasn't to mention the lack of weaponry and a dragon shrine. The teen took a step back as he let all the information hit him. Either his room was expanded to fit all this, or he was somewhere/somewhen in the timebranch.

He stopped his contemplations as he heard a sound. A bird was singing just outside, and the melody was beautiful. He listened to the chirping for a bit, trying to recall where he heard the song before. His eyes widened as realization hit him. There was only one bird he knew that played that tune.

Everything began to make sense as he made his way towards the front door. The familiar energies, the feeling in the air, and even the bird all meant one thing. He jerked the door open, his face settling into disbelief. He was in Konohagakure, particularly the red light district, in a house of his own! He shut the door as a few people started to walk by, curious expressions on their faces.

His back was up against that same door. A thousand questions flooded his mind like a broken dam. What was he doing in Konoha? What happened to the temple? He walked into the middle of the floor, rubbing his temples as he tried to contemplate what just happened.

He sighed as he took a few deep breaths. "It's okay Fu. Everything's fine. It's not like Shenron made you go to a mountain." As those words left his mouth, the windows flashed slightly.

He heard a breeze blow as he took another breath. The air was thinner, as if he had gone up in elevation. He slowly walked over to the door, dreading what might be the truth. The house tilted a little as he opened the door. He was on top of a mountain, the very tip of it!

If he wasn't careful, the house could go sliding down the side. He carefully shut the door. "First Konoha and now the top of a mountain!" shouted Fu. "What's next? Is this thing gonna take me to the coast of the Elemental Nations!?"

The windows flashed again, the man quickly covering his mouth. He should really stop saying place names. The house went dark, the only light coming from the electrical system. He tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. As he kept trying, sand landed on his shoulder.

He was in the beach, literally! The windows bent inward as they tried to keep the sand out, but the pressure continued to build. The purple teen began to panic when an idea sparked in his head. "Above the beach?" Nothing happened as the windows began to screech.

He quickly cycled through the various relocations as he tried to find a solution. He snapped his fingers as one of the glass peins began to crack. "Go above the beach!" The windows flashed, causing the teen to cheer in success. He smirked as he went to check the window.

He suddenly found himself in the air as the building began to fall. It only fell for a short amount of time but it was enough for Fu to find himself in midair. He hit the floor as the house came to a stop. Nothing was damaged, except Fu's pride. He opened the door.

Sure enough, it had worked. He was on the beach, a few scared locals looking on in shock. He shut the door as an excited grin formed on his face. He got a bold idea as he rubbed his hands together. "Take me to an island off the cost of the continent!"

The windows flashed blue, a worrying sign if Fu had ever seen one. Suddenly, water came rushing under the door. Fu didn't need to open it to know that he landed himself smack dab in the middle of the ocean. "I meant on the island!" The windows glowed again, this time carrying the familiar glow.

He was relieved when water stopped filling the building. He opened the door, only to deadpan at what he saw. He was on an island alright, on top of a tree. "Sure! Why not!? Just go back to Konoha ya twisted house!"

He shut the door as the windows glowed again. He suddenly fell to the ceiling, many of his new belongings following him. The entire building was upside down, surprisingly remaining on the edge of the roof. The teen growled, pounding his fist onto the ceiling in anger. That was the last straw.

He clenched his fists as he looked up to the sky, taking a deep breath. "Shenron!" A moan could be heard throughout the building. The windows glowed green, enveloping the entire area. Fu shielded his eyes as he tried to save his vision.

When the light died down, Fu found everything back the way it was when he woke up. He heard a creek as a nearby door slowly opened. It was a closet with shelves, a lone book standing in the middle. He picked up a volume, quickly reading over the cover. He deadpanned at the sight, smacking his face with his free hand.

He let the appendage slide downwards as he groaned. "Of course there's a manual." He sat on the refurbished couch as he read over the book. He was impressed by the functions the building possessed. He was also embarrassed by how many of the do's and don'ts he failed to follow. When he finished reading, he decided to try again.

He quickly held onto something just in case everything went wrong. "Take me to my home space in Konoha." said Fu. The windows flashed once again, everything remaining in place. He opened the door to find himself back in the exact spot he first woke up to. He saw some kids run by, quickly shutting the door once more.

He thought suddenly got an idea. "Go to home space, Mt. Pazao." He waited for a bit, but nothing happened. He cleared his throat as he shook his head. "Take me to my home space, timebranch 147, Mt. Pazao."

The windows flashed upon the correct command, a few streams of temporal energy sliding across the windows. He opened the door to find himself near the clearing where Naruto showed him his new move. He walked outside and breathed in fresh air. He heard the sound of training, telling him a certain knuckle headed fighter was close. He went to his room really quick and switched to his gear.

He ran out the door, shutting it as he heard Naruto scream the name of his signature move. He rushed to the clearing, hoping to catch the action. He stopped when he saw Naruto sweating, though it was the reason for this exertion that impressed the young man. The boy in question was trying to get a better grasp on his chakra. While he could have chosen tree walking, he was currently undergoing a much more difficult type of activity: water walking.

Last year, the very year the duo finally reached an understanding, Kurama told Naruto that his chakra control could mean the difference between life and death. It is this reasoning that currently found the boy standing over a pool of water he put together. He was trying to keep himself standing on the water while practicing his abilities. He was surprised when he heard a snap. He turned for half a second, catching a glimpse of Fu before he fell into the pool.

He swam up to the top, trying to reserve what little energy he had. He gasped for air as he saw Fu's hand and reached out for it. The purple teen allowed his nephew to catch his breath, thankful that he still had any to reach for. "You're moving way ahead of my schedule kid. Don't tell me you've already been practicing walking up trees. We haven't even gotten to the important stuff." Naruto smiled nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sorry Uncle Fu." apologized The blonde. "Kurama was pushing me to get my chakra control down pat. I've got walking up trees down but walking on water still eludes me. I've gotten to where I can stand on it for hours. However, I can only walk on it for twenty seconds."

Fu was impressed to say the least. This early friendship with the Nine Tails has brought a tremendous acceleration in Naruto's development. He's already on his way to the Rasengan stage of training. Plus his martial arts/taijutsu training and Fu's scattered ki lessons are pushing him to new heights. All and all, the man was pleased with his nephew.

He roughed Naruto's hair, to which the Jinchuriki smiled. The boy wiped his nose, shivering slightly under the morning air. Fu's smile faded as he looked over the blonde. He knew that Naruto wasn't entirely alright. The man frowned as he crossed his arms.

"How long have you been doing it?" The boy sweated at the question. He chuckled to himself as he backed away from his uncle.

"Doing what?" The purple man hardened his gaze, something that sent chills down the boy's spine. Fu was not buying it at all.

"Son Naruto. How long have you been training?" The blonde sighed as he rubbed his arm.

"Three hours straight." A loud rumbling could be heard throughout the area, the boy quickly grabbing at his stomach. "Four tops." He hanged his head in defeat. Fu kept his frown, but he knew what kind of kid the fox boy was.

"You're coming with me to get some grub. I'll let Gohan know where you are since he's probably worried right now." He pulled Naruto along, allowing a shadow clone to sneak by on its way to the hut. They made their way over to Fu's new house, the blonde clearly oblivious to the change. He opened the door, quickly ushering the boy into the kitchen.

Fu later came in with a towel since Naruto was soaking wet. The boy decided to meditate for a while as Fu began cooking. He was debating something with Kurama when a bowl of Ichiraku ramen hit the table. He dropped the conversation like a bad habit as he opened his eyes to devour the delicacy. Fu sat across from his nephew, slowly eating into his own bowl of noodles.

He knew that something was on Naruto's mind. The purple man knew that request normally came from his blue eyed nephew weren't usually anything big. More ramen was easy, a new technique was exciting, and Fu's origins were... Well let's just say the Jinchuriki made a funny accidental quip about Fu somehow wearing his mom's and his dad's pants at the same time and how awkward that must feel. The shine in the boy's eyes told him that this was different, however.

Naruto wasn't entirely engulfing the noodles in the bowl, only going through two at the moment. There was something on his mind and once he got like this, it was usually a doozy. One such time was when the child had asked Fu what the seal on his stomach was for. It wasn't very hard to get the boy to see the fox as a good thing, but it was still a very tense moment nonetheless. If this was anything like that, Fu might have a difficult day on his hands.

The purple teen sighed as he shook his head. "Okay. What's eating ya Sport? You've barely even made it into your third bowl." The blonde said nothing as he put down the chopsticks. He looked Fu straight in the eye, a sad expression on his face.

"Did you know my parents?" Fu sighed, actually relieved by the subject matter. He thought it was gonna be the birds and bees talk. Fu adjusted his glasses, hoping to save some grace. He knew exactly how to handle this one.

"I had seen them before but I didn't know them personally. They were caught up in the Kyuubi attack, trying to help put a stop to the rampage. They gave everything to keep you alive." This brought about a sad smile to the Jinchuriki's face. The boy quickly shuffled in his seat as he held his hands together.

"What were they like? Kurama won't tell me anything." Fu smirked as he leaned forward. He was actually grateful that the fox was being protective of his host.

"Your father was said to be a great man. He was on par with the leader of your entire village. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing the tales of him. Your mother, Kushina Uzumaki, was a beautiful and caring young woman." Naruto's smile grew as he leaned into the conversation himself.

He finally had a name to go with one of his parents! That was more than he could ever get with the stupid fox and Grandpa Gohan didn't know anything about them. It was nice to finally know something about them. Fu sat straight up as he looked to his nephew. "If you don't mind me asking, what brought this on buddy?" The blonde looked away for a moment, only to steel his resolve as he returned his gaze forward.

"I know this sounds awkward, but I don't think I'm really from here." That statement caught Fu's attention. "I know Gohan-jiji adopted me and everything, but I can't help but everything just feels foreign to me. I look at the people when I go on occasional outings with Grandpa. It makes me feel like I don't really fit in. I feel alien."

Fu nodded his head as he mentally ran over the situation. Naruto was starting to catch on much faster than he hoped he would. If the boy was smart enough to make these observations, then who was to say he couldn't put everything together. Luckily enough, however, the purple man planned for this kind of scenario.

"Is it really wrong to feel different?" Naruto tilted his head, confused by the response. "You're not like them Naruto. You're unique. It's part of what I love about you Kit."

Naruto grabbed at the side of his head, gritting his teeth in discomfort. Fu had not intended to set the fox off, but something was apparently wrong with the way his nephew reacted. Could it be possible that the fox had figured it out? He got his answer when Naruto sent him a pleading frown.

"Kurama wants you to stop using his nicknames. Could you please say yes so he stops ranting loudly in my ear?" Fu chuckled a bit, once again having to slow his heart rate. He hoped to one day meet that dastardly fox. He had so many questions and so few answers.

Naruto sighed as the yelling stopped. He returned to devouring his ramen as he allowed the atmosphere to settle. Right now it was just him, Kurama, and Uncle Fu in the house... His face clearly displayed his sudden shock, spitting out the bits of ramen that were left over. He sent his uncle a shocked expression as he began to pester him at a rapid pace.

Fu quickly raised his hands in defense, waving them frantically. "Slow down Sport! What's gotten into ya all of a sudden?" Naruto jumped up onto a table, an angry expression on his face.

"Since when do you live close by!?" Fu's jaw hit the floor, honestly surprised by the question. Naruto just noticed? Could he really be that dense? Wasn't Gohan teaching him martial arts which requires focus and awareness?

Fu sighed as he collected his jaw. He didn't wanna know the logic behind Naruto's unawareness. The man rolled his shoulders as he looked into the blue eyes of his nephew.

"I don't. It's a mobile home of sorts that I just got a little while ago. I use it so I can get some good sleep even when there's no civilization." That answer granted Fu a mad look from Naruto. The Jinchuriki had a piece of his mind just for his uncle figure.

"How come you didn't come and get me then? You seem to have plenty of room." The purple man shook his head as he stood up, meeting his nephew face to face.

"I can't support more people right now Naruto. If I could have taken care of you beforehand, I would have kept you for myself instead of dropping you off with Grandpa Gohan. Plus with how busy I am you would be by yourself most of the time. Do you see any possibility for a newborn boy to take care of himself?" Naruto sighed as he lowered back into his seat.

"No. That's irresponsible." The blonde shook his head as he placed his hands on the table. He knew it wasn't right for him to accuse Uncle Fu of laziness. "Sorry."

"Naruto I understand completely what you were getting at. I would be mad too if I was dropped off at some random place by a guy who was fully capable of taking care of me. Just remember to not blow that lid of yours so fast." The blonde nodded with a small smile. A grumble suddenly interrupted the moment.

Fu chuckled as he walked away from the table. "I say you're up for another bowl of ramen." Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he held his bowl up. Fu took the bowl and put more ramen in it. After eating, Fu took Naruto back to Grandpa Gohan's place.

Naruto received a stern talking from the old man, but one couldn't stay mad at the little ramen lover. Fu left the building and went back home. He entered the building, a small frown forming on his face. He was about to head up to his room when he heard a familiar moan. He entered the dojo, slowly approaching the dragon shrine. A tear dropped from the statue's eye before dropping into the water below.

The water in the stone bowl shined brightly, causing the teen to shield his eyes. When the light died down, he was met with the face of Shenron's original statue. Steam left the dragon's nose as his eyes glowed brighter.

"How are you liking the accommodations young Fu?" asked the dragon. The purple teen harrumphed as he crossed his arms. His employer chose now to check up on him.

"It was rough to start out." The being seemed to lack any form of surprise as the light of his eyes dimmed a bit. A soft chuckle vibrated throughout the room.

"That's because you didn't read the manual." Fu blushed in response to the accusation, sputtering a bit. He quickly turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Hey! I was in shock! You think I'd try to find a manual for a magic house?" The dragon sighed. Kids these days.

"You were the one who wanted to live around them. I gave you the best way to do it that also allowed you to keep up with your assigned task." The purple man sighed as he shook his head. He should've known the dragon would've taken him seriously. A sudden smile appeared on his face as an idea crossed his mind.

"Speaking of, I think it's time I get back to Konoha. I need to train with Goku some more. Hopefully, he's finally mastered flying." The dragon seemed to accept this reasoning as his eyes glowed brighter.

"As you will, Young Fu. Just remember that anything can happen during your mission. You may have to take on extra responsibilities along the way." Fu knew what was coming, letting his arms drop to his sides.

"Something's gonna happen today isn't it?" The being made no response, remaining as cryptic as ever. The celestial dragon then let steam loose from his nose.

"Only time will tell. Farewell." With that last word, Shenron faded from view. Fu shook his head in disappointment. That dragon sure liked to think that he was mysterious and hard to read. He looked up at the ceiling as he took a deep breath.

"Go to my home space, timebranch 149, Konohagakure." The windows flashed, temporal essence once again becoming visible. He exited the building but stopped as he took notice of some children nearby. They were staring at the building with looks of surprise. It made sense that they'd do that since the house just popped up out of thin air.

He ignored them as he sensed for Goku's energy. He soon locked on to his target and flew straight over. He saw Goku standing on the roof of one of the apartments. He decided to try and get the drop on him, pulling out a kunai. He was about to throw it in his direction, carefully taking his aim.

"Boo!" shouted a voice from behind. Fu gasped and turned with his small blade at the ready. He was relieved to see it was Goku, the boy floating mere inches from him. He guessed that one of them was a shadow clone. He was impressed by Goku's mastery of pranks.

"Well looks like I was right." said Fu. "Your flight training has been coming along very nicely." The saiyan chuckled as he sent his uncle a peace sign.

"Yep." agreed Goku. "I've mastered the art of flight." The purple teen crossed his arms with a disbelieving smirk.

"Then you won't mind showing me your progress starting from takeoff." Goku smiled before vanishing into a puff of smoke. Fu turned to the roof, only to find that the other Goku disappeared as well. The man chuckled as he shook his head. If it weren't Goku he'd be ticked about being played twice by the same person.

He flew over to their usual training spot. He descended to the ground in front of Goku, the boy snickering the whole time. "Okay, Monkey King, show me your progress." The saiyan frowned at the jab, clearly still bothered by the insult. He just ignored Fu as he powered up.

He began to float in the air, taking a few seconds to get used to the feeling. He steadied himself as he looked to Fu with a smirk on his face. They were eye to eye as he crossed his arms in victory.

"Told you I've mastered..." He screamed flight as he rocketed into the air. The boy tried to get a hold of himself, soon bringing his ascent to a halt. When it became clear that he wasn't going to fall, Fu flew up to him. The man was laughing the whole way.

"Yeah. You've so got it down pat." Goku puffed his cheeks as he waited for Fu to stop laughing. When the man finally had his fill, Goku pulled out a kunai. Fu smirked as he pulled out his sword, knowing full well his nephew's intent.

"Once I beat you in this spar, how about you teach me something new? I've been itching to learn some of those big attacks." The purple teen shook his head in denial.

"You still have a bit of time to go before I can show ya something new. Tell you what? If you win I'll take ya to Ichiraku's." Goku smiled, as he pumped his free fist.

"HECK YEAH!" The duo flew at each other, their blades at the ready. They clashed on multiple occasions, sparks flying across the field. The saiyan would sometimes switch which hand held the kunai in order to throw his uncle off, but no such progress was made. When he finally dropped his kunai they switched to taijutsu.

Goku put his fingers together in a familiar sign, smirking as he pushed energy into it. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Puffs of smoke appeared out of thin air, the debris forcing the purple man to cover his eyes. When Fu finally returned his eyes to the group, he had found himself surrounded by nineteen Goku clones. He smirked as he dropped his sword to the ground.

The clones came at him all at once, though a few did hang back and watch. The teen blocked left and right as he tried to work his way down to the original, sometimes getting jabs in on the group. He took a hard hit to the gut in his effort, hurtling towards the ground. The boys each prepared a familiar jutsu, taking in a deep breath. "Goku-Fire-Ball-Storm!"

Fu quickly reached for his blade as a multitude of fire balls fell his way. The man was honestly glad they chose a forest for their training ground, lest the village suffer from damage. He slashed through the attacks, creating a field of smoke. He suddenly launched himself forward, cutting through two of the clones. He didn't like using his blade against Goku, but in all honesty he was doing it out of respect for Goku's ingenuity.

He continued to cut the opponents down until he was at the last one. He slashed it down the middle, resulting in another column of smoke. He scanned the area as the smoke from the destroyed shadow clones began to dissipate. Goku was nowhere in sight, even his energy disappearing. He found Goku too late as the child disarmed him and kicked him to the roof.

Fu was on his hands and knees, silently celebrating his nephew's success. Goku was just as amazing as the baseline hero! The kid was becoming clever, especially for someone his age. He feared for those who would be his enemies. He saw a hand stretched out to him, looking up to find his nephew on the other end. "You promised."

Fu chuckled as Goku helped him up. Of course the boy would remember the details of their match. The man nodded as he patted the boy's shoulder.

"Ichiraku's it is." The saiyan flew off to the stand, his uncle quick to follow. They quickly reached the area, scaring a few civilians as they touched down. The duo took their seats and began to chow down. This had to be their favorite part if the day, especially after a long round of training.

Goku was going through his fifth bowl when he felt a familiar presence. He smirked as he heard the telltale running of a familiar party. He spun around after finishing his bowl. He smirked as he was now face to face with Lee, the eyebrow boy sweaty from his workout.

"Goku!" shouted the fighter. "My eternal friend! I challenge you to a sparring match! No holds barred!" The saiyan smirked as he nodded, hopping off his spot.

"Glad to see you're ready," accepted the boy. "I was itching for a good match, no offense Uncle Fu." The purple man feigned hurt as he held a hand to his chest.

"And to think I got you ramen!" gasped the man. The boy rolled his eyes as he looked to his friend. He soon took note of Lee's confused face, snapping in realization.

"Right! Lee, this is my uncle, Fu Nisekuma! He's the one who trained me when Grandpa wasn't available." The eyebrow boy's eyes widened before he entered a respectful bow.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Nisekuma-sama!" cried Lee. "I am grateful to be in your presence!" Fu looked around in discomfort, not expecting such a boisterous greeting.

"Um… nice to meet you too kid. Let me just get some bowls to go, then we'll go to our secondary training field." The boys nodded as they began to talk about their day. Mr. Ichiraku quickly scooped the ramen into the plastic disposable bowls. In no time flat the group ran towards the little known area near the Forest of Death.

Fu watched the duo compete along the way, smirking at their antics. It was definitely like Goku to not show off too much unless he was in the mood to showboat. The teen flew overhead, not wanting to be left behind. He finally caught up to the two, watching a bit as they performed some stretches. He landed on a study branch, curious at how this would go.

He grabbed his bowl of ramen as he sat down. Lee and Goku both entered their fighting stances, the tension building between them. All was silent, save for Fu eating his ramen. Neither fighter moved a muscle when a bird took flight nearby. Lee suddenly ran at Goku to the pace of the bird's wings. He kicked Goku square in the gut, a pained expression finding its way to the boy's face.

The saiyan grabbed his leg and pulled him overhead in retaliation. Lee caught himself before he hit the ground. He quickly flung his leg back, pulling his opponent along for the ride. The tailed boy grunted as he was flung face first into a nearby tree. The eyebrow kid resumed his fighting stance as his friend rubbed his forehead.

Goku growled as he turned around, launching himself at Lee. He sent rapid punches at his youthful friend, trying to break through the boy's guard. The scrawny boy was having a hard time blocking all the hits. He was sent flying by one of Goku's kicks, catching himself once again. He leapt at his opponent, entering a flying kick.

"Dynamic Entry!" The hit seemed to connect as Goku was sent flying backwards. Suddenly, the monkey boy hung in the air. Lee was in shock as his friend stayed still in the air. He then floated upright, making the boy's jaw drop.

The saiyan smirked at his friend's surprised face, a swell of pride hitting him. He slowly flew to his friend, increasing speed as he closed the distance. He suddenly reached impressive speeds as he rammed straight into the youthful boy. Lee was on his knees holding his gut. He looked up at Goku, the boy still smiling at his success.

How was it possible? Goku was flying! That shouldn't be possible! "How?" The question make the monkey kid give off a very saiyan-styled grin.

"Remember that special training I do with Uncle Fu?" asked Goku. Lee slowly shook his head as he got up from the ground. "I've been training to harness ki, one of the energies that make up chakra. From there it wasn't hard to translate ki stuff to chakra." As if on cue, the purple teen jumped down from the tree.

He was slowly clapping, as he approached the duo. He stopped as he smacked Goku in the back of the head. The boy cried out in pain as he rubbed the pain away.

"You went too hard on him." scolded Fu. The saiyan looked to his uncle, flabbergasted at the accusation. He gestured to his friend with an incredulous frown.

"But it was no holds barred! Lee literally asked for it!" The purple man hit the same spot, a stern frown on his face.

"You still could have held back a bit. Even normal shinobi in training aren't ready for a flying opponent." The scrawny boy got between the two, shaking his head profusely.

"It's fine Nisekuma-sama." interrupted Lee. "Like my eternal friend said, I asked for him to hold nothing back." He bowed to his friend with a sad smirk. "Thank you for not holding back Goku-san. I need to do more if I want to surpass you."

Fu was surprised by Lee's response to defeat. This kid was determined if such a loss wasn't enough to deter him. Goku went all out to show respect, exactly as his friend requested. He suddenly noticed the eyebrow kid looking at him, becoming uncomfortable by the look on his face. The young boy quickly entered a respectful bow, surprising both individuals.

The scrawny boy didn't even look up as he remained in place. "Grandmaster Nisekuma-sama! Please train me in the ways of ki!" The purple took a step back in surprise, not expecting the request. Was this what Shenron meant by extra responsibilities?

"I… I need time to think it over. This is kinda sudden." The scrawny boy suddenly straightened as he nodded his head.

"Yosh! I will meet you at any destination you require when you are prepared. Until then I shall run across the entire village, and if I cannot do such I shall perform three hundred sit-ups!" Lee ran off before any more could be said, not even bothering to ask where they would meet. The purple teen turned to Goku, the saiyan shrugging in response.

"Can I talk with you for a minute?" The saiyan nodded as they flew off in a random direction. They soon came to a stop atop the Fourth Hokage head, one of their usual meeting spots. Soon after they landed, Fu began to freak out. Someone requested his teaching; Him!

Sure he's been teaching Goku and Naruto, but someone else was a completely different story. "I don't know if I can do it." His nephew gave him a confused look, not exactly convinced.

"What are you talking about?" questioned Goku. "You train me every time you come around. Lee's just a little more… excitable about getting stronger." The purple teen shook his head as he continued to pace.

"With you I know what to do, but he's an unknown. I can't do it." Goku was annoyed, rolling his eyes in annoyance. Normally this kind of thing didn't bother him, but Lee was his friend. There was no way Uncle Fu wasn't at least gonna try.

"Let me put it this way Uncle Fu. Lee is an understanding guy. If you can't teach him, just let him know. His senpai, Guy, will probably give him some speech about how he doesn't need ki because he's so 'youthful.' You won't know until you try, however, and I'm not about to let you turn my friend down."

Fu saw what Goku was getting at. He wouldn't know till he tried, even if he didn't like the idea of taking on another student. Plus, Lee would probably keep going until he said yes. He sighed in defeat, knowing what he had to do. He nodded to his nephew with a serious look.

"Bring him here." The saiyan sent his uncle a set of thumb ups before rocketing into the air. Not long after the sound of excited cries could be heard throughout the air. The green wearing teen laughed as his friend set him down on the Hokage Monument. He suddenly rushed forward, resuming his bow from earlier.

"Grandmaster Fu!" shouted Lee. "I'll repeat my earlier request! Please train me in the ways of ki!" Fu knew he'd never get used to that. He cleared his throat.

"Not all people can use ki, so my program might not even work out for you." Lee looked down, almost expecting this response. It really was too good to be true wasn't it? "If you really want to learn how to use it, then I'm gonna have to test you to see if you even can. Be at my new mobile home tomorrow."

"Wait… you have a mobile home now?" questioned Goku out of the blue. "When did this happen?" The Nisekuma head sighed in response to the question. How many times were people gonna ask about that today.

"Just meet me there." Fu flew off, leaving the kids behind. Still confused by the whole debacle, Goku turned to Lee and gave him a huge smile. The eyebrow boy suddenly began to cry, at which his friend deadpanned. Why was Lee such a cry baby? He decided to place a hand on the boy's shoulder, bringing the tears to a stop.

"You'll want to start training for tomorrow. It won't be easy to keep up." He flew off in another direction, leaving his friend on the head. Lee looked to the sky, happy to have a new chance. He freaked out as he realized there was no way for him to get down.

"GOKU!" cried Lee. "COME BACK! I CAN'T GET DOWN!" The next day, Fu was polishing his sword. He knew that today would either make or break a kid's day.

Goku had already arrived, wanting to be there for his friend. They were just waiting for the last guest to arrive. Fu got a strange feeling and opened one of the windows. "Dynamic Entry!" Fu's feeling was correct because if he didn't open the window, there'd be glass everywhere.

Lee stood at attention as he turned to his new master. "I'm ready for the test Grandmaster Nisekuma!" Fu really hated that title. He quickly shook his head as he regained his focus.

"The thing that concerns me is that your ki may be blocked by your chakra. You may not have much of the energy at your disposal, but you were still conditioned to try and mold it in the shinobi standard way. I'll have to limit your chakra to certain areas." Lee took a step back, fear clearly present in his expression.

"But if you do that I won't be able to live!" Fu sighed as he shook his head. This was honestly what he expected from the boy. He rubbed the bowl cut boy's head with a smirk.

"You shinobi and your one track mind. Chakra is made from your ki and stamina, the former of the two actually being a representation of one's life force. Even if your chakra can't flow through your network, ki flows throughout the entire body." The eyebrow boy seemed to ponder this explanation, still worried about his health. He suddenly returned to normal as he pounded his palm.

"I understand now! I am ready and willing sensei!" Fu led them to the dojo, pleased with the development. He grabbed a scroll, then began to read over it a few times to understand the procedure. He then stepped towards Lee, as he dipped a brush into a vat of ink.

He placed a few seals on the boy, blocking off some of his chakra points. He then went to the back of the boy's neck, slowly applying another seal. This was meant to bring about an individual's latent potential, the particular one modified seal to unlock ki. He was about to pump energy into the mark when a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"Just so you know, if you feel drained as this happens it means you have nothing to pull from that isn't already tied to the small amount of Chakra available. If you start to feel drained let me know." The eyebrow kid nodded his head in response.

"Yes Grand..." Fu suddenly towered over the boy, using his flight to add emphasis.

"Call me Grandmaster one more time and I swear..." The boy gulped as he rapidly nodded his head.

"Sorry!" The time traveler finally pushed some energy into the seal, causing it to glow in power. Everyone was silent as they awaited the results. Nothing seemed to be happening, Lee flexing a bit in order to check on his body. Was it… supposed to feel like nothing was happening?

The green suited teen sighed as the mark began to subside. "I guess it was not meant to…" All of a sudden, he felt a swell of energy hit him at once. A white aura suddenly enveloped him as the ki surrounding him began to flow into his system. The experienced duo were floored by the sudden burst, not expecting such a response from his body.

Truth be told, Fu had never used the mark before. He was honestly expecting some kind of subtle change, but this was extreme. The teen shook his head as the energy began to settle down.

"How you feeling Eyebrows?" Lee did not respond to the jab at his appearance as he looked over his hands. What could he say? He had never felt such a vast amount of power before, much less from himself. The boy was finally able to collect himself as he looked to the duo.

"It feels like I have a fire in my stomach, yet it does not burn. It actually feels… natural." Fu nodded in response, knowing exactly what the boy was talking about. Suddenly, Goku jerked like he caught something his uncle hadn't noticed yet.

"That power!" shouted the saiyan. Fu tried to sense Lee, only to become overwhelmed by the pool of power. For someone who isn't saiyan and had no prior knowledge of ki, Eyebrows certainly had a lot of said energy. He walked towards Lee as the seal disappeared, leaving no trace of its existence. The eyebrow kid looked up in confusion as the energy fully subsided.

"Did it really work? Do I actually have ki now?" The purple teen smirked as he slowly backed away from the boy.

"Only one way to find out." answered Fu. "Goku!" The saiyan nodded created a ball of ki in his hand. He thrusted it at Lee, the green wearing kid screaming in terror as he raised his arms in a defensive position. The attack collided with its target, creating a small explosion.

The smoke began to clear, revealing a sight that made the new master smile. Lee was still standing, lowering his block in surprise. The boy looked down at his ash covered arms. Other than a few spots on his jumpsuit, nothing was damaged. Not even a scratch was visible on his skin.

The eyebrow boy suddenly became giddy as he rubbed over the areas. Fu remained neutral to this response as he held his hands behind his back. "You'll come here at this exact time every day that I'm in Konoha. We'll start out slow then work our way up to the powerful stuff." Lee couldn't help the overwhelming joy rising in him, a few tears rolling down his cheeks.

Fu turned his back to the boy, secretly grinning as he walked away. "If you cry I'll reconsider." Lee suddenly wiped his eyes in response. He entered a very respectful bow.

"Thank you Fu-Sensei!" Fu looked back at the boy, his smirk now visible. He actually liked the sound of that. He turned to walk away, waving Lee off.

"Go home and get some rest. There's a lot of work you have to do." The boy nodded his head as he pumped his fist.

"Yes Sensei!" Lee rushed out the door, Goku narrowly able to open it due to his newfound speed. The saiyan gave his uncle a knowing look, receiving a chuckle in response. He knew Lee could do it. Somehow, he had a feeling that Lee had hidden potential. The purple man quickly gestured to the table.

"Let's get something to eat Goku." The boy became excited as he took his seat. He rubbed his hands together as he watched his uncle reach into the dish cabinet.

"Ichiraku's?" asked Goku. The man turned around, revealing a set of plates rather than bowls.

"Cake." The saiyan tilted his head, confused by the development. He waited till Fu set the plates before returning to the proper position.

"For what occasion?" The purple teen pulled out a rather large cake, one that surprisingly fit in his refrigerator. All of the boy's hesitance died as he drooled over the delicacy.

"I've become a teacher and my energy potential seal was a success, all thanks to my stubborn little monkey. I think you're determination for your friend deserves something." Goku ignored the jab at his tail as he watched the slice of cake slide onto his plate. They spent the rest of the day talking about recent events. Unknown to them, someone was watching.

A strange man stood on a branch, hidden well from the naked eye. The only detail noticeable in the dark of night was that of his black trench coat, red scabbard and violet hair. He looked in the window, then looked down at a holographic rectangle. Fu had readings that screamed Shenron, but he had gotten his hands on that kind of energy before. The individual tapped at an earpiece on his right, opening up a channel.

"I've confirmed the identity of Shenron's little friend." stated the stranger. "It seems to be the criminal Demon Realm denizen Fu. Should I move to engage and retrieve Son Goku?" He heard a few beeps on the other side, receiving a ding soon after.

"Negative." denied a robot voice over the communicator. "Anyone affiliated with the Shenron of Time and Space is considered an ally until proven otherwise, and the now dubbed Goku Sarutobi is too integrated into the civilization of Konohagakure no Sato for successful extraction. Criminals ranked below category four are not considered for immediate arrest under these circumstances. Continue vigilant watch." The figure nodded their head, still unsure about the machine's choice.

"Understood. Trunks out." The stranger known as Trunks watched over the scene a little more, his eyes narrowing as he focused on Goku. The teen smiled softly as he watched the boy pat his chest from swallowing too much cake. Having seen enough, he flew off into the night.

There goes another chapter! I figured it would be a good idea to make Lee's sudden increase in power have a more visible effect, especially with Goku's reaction in both versions prior. As you may have also noticed, Caliban is now absent from the scene. Like my previous username, I am officially retiring Caliban. He just seemed like a blank character without any real necessity whatsoever.

I plan to actually replace him with a character from the surprise third series. In any case, what did you think of the chapter? I know there weren't many changes in this chapter, but I promise we'll be seeing some real changes soon. Please remember to R&R and I'll see you in the next chapter. This is Inkaliber, signing out.
