(Last Time)
Gohan raised an eyebrow, "How do you know my dad?"
"Well, that would be because Porunga told me about him, really just that he saved the Namekians." Naruto closed his eyes and quickly expanded his senses, "Before we go any further, I can tell that there's a bunch of other people outside. If any of them are going to need my back story then I'd rather take this out there so I won't need to repeat it until Goku arrives."
Bulma smiled, "Yeah, I guess that actually makes sense. Come on, we'll introduce you to the whole gang."
(Flashback)
Naruto had just finished telling everyone of the pranks he played in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. This included; sneaking into the clan renown for their 'All seeing eyes', the Hyuga, so that he could superglue sunglasses and walking canes on their council members, hiding catnip in various places on the Inuzuka clan grounds, sneaking into ANBU headquarters to dye their uniforms 'kill me orange', and ending with painting the Hokage monument wearing a jumpsuit of the same color before leading the majority of the shinobi forces in the village on a three hour long chase complete with traps the young boy had set before beginning the prank.
The gathered members of Earth's forces and the Namekian people were all laughing till they cried at the absurdity of the new Saiyans part career as a prankster. The darker parts of the teens past had been told previously, this was so that after fully introducing himself, the group would be able to return to the festivities without being in too bad of a mood. The whisker marked boy ended up being embarrassed when he got attacked in a three way hug by the Chi Chi, Bulma and her mother while all three sobbed after hearing about his childhood years before graduating the academy. Everyone else was crying also, except Piccolo, but he did look like he wanted to murder a few people.
Now, after having silent conversation with each other, Bulma, Chi Chi, and Dr Briefs were addressing Naruto about a topic he was not excited about. "I HAVE TO DO WHAT?!" Beside him, Piccolo and Gohan both cringed. Naruto himself looked like he had just had his 'Ninja way' brought to question, although for those who could see it, there was a slight depression in his eyes.
Bulma smiled softly at him, "You have to go to school Naruto, I promise you won't have any trouble here, the teachers and the rest of us will help you. Without some education, you'll never get very far in life."
Naruto sighed, "I understand that but I already have a plan."
Chi Chi rose an eyebrow, "Oh, and what's your plan?"
The Saiyan smirked in response, "I'm gonna write a book based on my life, I even thought up a title already, The Shinobi Storm. If I change some details, I could probably turn it into a series."
(Flashback end)
Four Months Later: Wastelands
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The sound of shock waves could be heard in the wastelands, shock waves that were leaving craters as proof of the fighting that had happened. Naruto quickly fazed into view, a little dirt on his outfit and a scrape on the right side of his forehead. Other than that, the teen felt fine as he quickly charged two small KI orbs and launched them at the ground, in front and just to the side of where he felt his two opponents were about to appear.
Sure enough, Krillin and Gohan fazed into view long enough to see Naruto for a moment just before the blasts detonated, creating a small cloud of smoke. Just as they began to move back from the cloud, Naruto fazed into view above Krillin, fists clenched together above his head before he hammerfisted the bald monk into a crater.
Gohan's eyes widened for a single moment, before narrowing at the brutal attack on his friend. The young half-breed struck with a quick left, only to watch helplessly as Naruto quickly placed a hand on the ground and spun under the younger warriors strike, taking Gohan's feet out in the process. Before the five year old could even try to right himself from the leg sweep, he was launched into the air by a kick to the gut.
The full-blooded Saiyan appeared before his junior sparring partner just as the young warrior stabilized himself in the air. Unfortunately for Gohan, Naruto appeared with a hard look in his eyes and a fist buried wrist deep in the boy's stomach. Naruto narrowed his eyes watching his opponent hunch over and clench himself, "You gotta push through the pain lil' bro, you can't be leaving yourself open like that. Feel the pain later, fight now!" Naruto shouted as he shot forward and lightly, but still painfully, kicked the boy into the air further. He smiled when he saw the young boy recover and place his hands above his head with his fingers spread as his KI spiked.
Gohan grit his teeth in anger at the smirking Saiyan. Giving a low growl, the younger boy charged most of his remaining KI into his current attack, "Masenko-HAA
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he held a hand out, as a swirling basketball sized orb of KI grew in his hand. As he charged more KI into the orb, the energy inside became a violent maelstrom of energy. 'I'm glad I could recreate my signature attack. Especially since I can now do this with it…' "Rasen-Nami(Spiraling Wave)!" Just as the energy burst from Naruto's hand in a rapidly swirling beam, the Saiyan heard another shout from behind him.
"Kamehame-HAA!"
Looking down, Naruto saw Krillin firing the Turtle Style signature move and grit his teeth as he saw that Krillin had angled so Naruto would be in the direct middle of both his opponents attacks. The teen threw his other hand in Krillin's direction, 'Irritating as this situation is, it was a good plan. If they planned this,' Naruto growled, "Rasen-Nami!" A slightly larger, second swirling beam was fired to meet the opposing swirling beam. Once the two beams met, Naruto was locked into the two on one beam-battle. Gritting his teeth, the Saiyan thought of the first time he actively drew on his KI, on what he felt as he flared his power as high as possible.
(Flashback: Two days after the party)
As Naruto stepped towards to center of the clearing that Bulma had flown him to, whilst following Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin, the eldest Saiyan of the current group closed his eyes and expanded his senses while taking a deep breath. Stopping in the center of the field, Naruto looked towards Piccolo and raised a hand in front of his face, "If it's acceptable, since I have prior experience manipulating an internal energy, I'd like to attempt this on my own once before you give an explanation. If someone would be willing to give a small example?"
Piccolo nodded and smirked, "Sure thing whiskers. Gohan, give him a short but gradual demonstration. Bulma, you may wanna let Krillin lift you in the air. I have a feeling about our new team pet over here."
"OI!"
Krillin gently lifted into the air with Bulma, "Really, how much KI can the guy have?"
Bulma replied with a deadpan look, "Were talking about a full-blooded Saiyan who was trained as a ninja with an internal energy similar yet different to KI
Gohan gave a short snicker at his elder's teasing, he quickly focused afterwards and dropped into a low horse stance. The young boy narrowed his eyes and grit his teeth as he began drawing on his energy. Wind began to sweep outwards from Gohan, "Haah…"
Naruto continued watching for a moment with his arms crossed. He was watching and sensing Gohan's KI, and he nodded after about 15 seconds. "That's enough, thanks a bunch buddy," Naruto said with a grin, before waiting for the boy to take a couple breaths and noticing that Gohan's energy signature was staying steady. The teen then looked toward Piccolo, "So you just draw it to the surface and then maintain the output until it feels natural?"
Piccolo raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, not bad kid."
"So, should I see how far I can push it?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Sure, go for it."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists lightly as he spread his feet a little more than shoulder width apart. He looked inward for his KI and quickly found it, it was certainly calmer than chakra, yet at the same time, felt more powerful. The teenage Saiyan tightened his fists and grit his teeth as he mentally latched on and began pulling his KI to the surface.
The Earth began to lightly shake as Piccolo used all of his sense to monitor the young Saiyan. 'My word, he's already passed my power before Vegeta's partner killed me and he's just starting. I originally was expecting him to have as much KI as Gohan, but at this rate, he may be closer to my level.'
As Piccolo was having his internal debate, the ground began shaking more and a dark blue aura slowly began creeping up Naruto's form while it swirled.
"Haa...haa… Haa!" The Saiyan began shouting, slowly increasing in volume. As the blue aura finished covering his form, Naruto's fists snapped up, bending at the elbows as he threw his head back. "HAA..! HAA..!"
Piccolo watched as the Saiyan's aura exploded outwards, cratering the ground beneath the teen. As the winds picked up, causing Gohan to skid back a few inches, Piccolo was impressed as the teens KI began to level out. Not that he'd ever tell the teen, 'A little more than I had while fighting Frieza's second form. He may be strong enough to take Frieza in his third for.' Just as the Namekian thought that, he saw Naruto suddenly hunch over and felt a small spark.
The teen wasn't quite sure how to describe what he was feeling, he could sense more power and was reaching for it. It felt mostly the same but there was a slightly different feel to it; it felt aggressive and angry, primal would describe it well. "HAA! HAA! HAA..!"
Piccolo was stunned, the boy's hair remained the same, so the other most likely didn't notice anything but a brief fluctuation of KI. Piccolo on the other hand was directly in front of the Saiyan and still close. Therefore, he got to see Naruto's eyes flash jade once before the teen fell to his knees huffing. 'My word, this boy's been a Saiyan a few days and almost unlocked the legend on his first time actively drawing on his KI. I guess a lot of his chakra converted over to KI.' "Good, you've got a large well of power already, now we'll just have to get you proficient using it in high speed combat."
(Flashback End)
Naruto grit his teeth as he tried to grab onto that primal feeling again. To the former shinobi, it felt similar to the nine tails chakra. Except instead of being filled with hate, it was just anger. "GRRRAAHH!" As he shouted, the size of both his beams suddenly increased dramatically.
Krillin abandoned his attack at the last moment, avoiding direct damage.
Gohan didn't, he held out and continually tried to overpower the elder Saiyan.
*BOOM!*
As the young half breed began to fall, Naruto appeared and caught the defeated boy. Looking him over, Naruto saw that while his clothes were in tatters and his body covered in scrapes and cuts, Gohan didn't seem to have any lasting damage.
Piccolo watched with narrowed eyes from the sidelines, 'Honestly, this kid is ridiculous. He never seems to run out of energy unless I beat it out of him. It's only been four months and he can already take Krillin and Gohan at the same time and win two out of three times.' The Namekian was knock it off his thoughts by the bald warrior landing next to him.
"I think those two would get more out of sparring against you. I can't keep up with either of them, damn Saiyans." Krillin mumbled the last part while he rubbed his shoulder.
Piccolo nodded in agreement, "Their rates of growth are astounding. Especially Naruto's, but I guess that's because he already had experience manipulating an internal energy. Plus, his slight healing factor coupled with the boost Saiyans seem to get from intense battles."
Krillin nodded, before taking a thoughtful look, "Isn't tomorrow the day we summon Porunga again?"
Piccolo smirked, "Yeah, but plans have changed. The kid already spoke to the others through King Kai. Tien and Chiaotzu are going to stay until our dragon balls have recharged."
Capsule Corp, the following day
The Z fighters were currently gathered behind Capsule Corp. The visitors from planet Namek had just disappeared along with Porunga. The group from Earth had been surprised to hear that the wouldn't be reviving their friends yet, so they were anxious to find out what exactly the first two wishes had been used for.
Naruto looked towards his new friends as they sent him questioning glances, "Well, I guess I can begin by having Gohan join us now. That'll partially answer what one of the wishes was used for. GOHAN!"
Everyone looked up as the young half Saiyan came down from the top of Capsule Corp. At first, the group was confused as to what they were missing until Chi Chi noticed something that made her angry, "Why is that infernal tail back?!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the overacting mother, "Because that 'infernal tail' is part of who he is whether you like it or not! The first wish was for pure hearted Saiyan's tails to always grow back, no matter the method they were removed in. Based on the little knowledge I've been able to gather, Saiyans are stronger with their tails."
Chi Chi huffed, "I doesn't matter, just because I've allowed him to train doesn't mean he'll ever be fighting with you all again!"
"You're wrong mom," Chi Chi's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked towards her son. "I'm sorry but I refuse to simply sit on the sidelines and do nothing while my FRIENDS sacrifice their lives to keep me safe. That will NEVER happen again. The time for martial arts is not over mom. Considering the events of the past few years, it's more important than ever before. I won't abandon my comrades!"
Naruto smiled at Gohan and ruffled the younger Saiyans hair, "Those who break the rules are scum, this is true… but those who would abandon their friends and comrades are worse than scum." Looking back to the boys mother, Naruto crossed his arms, "To be totally honest, I agree with you on some level. A child his age has no business fighting against some of the monsters that tend to pop up around here."
Seeing some of the shocked looks that he was receiving Naruto continued, "That being said, no other child his age has the amount of power that Gohan has. On top of that, he had made this decision on his own, just like I'm told he made the decision to go to Namek on his own." Seeing Chi Chi look down Naruto frowned, "To be honest, you shouldn't really be too surprised by this. Fighting is literally in his blood. What did you think would happen when you decided to start a family with the strongest guy around? Aren't the morals your son is developing some of the same morals that made you fall in love with Goku?"
Her eyes widened as Chi Chi realized that Naruto was right. Tears began falling as she realized how much of a hypocrite she had been.
Naruto watched with a sad smile as Gohan quickly hugged his mother to soothe her tears. "If it's any consolation, I'd give my life before standing by and watching Gohan die. That's the promise of a lifetime!"
After giving the mother and son some time to recover from the emotional moment, Bulma brought her attention back to Naruto, "So how about the second wish?"
Naruto smirked as he pulled a capsule out of his pocket and pressed the button before tossing it into the open field. A huge amount of smoke appeared, clearing to show a massive building. "This warehouse is split into two halves. The first half is split into four different rooms while the second half is one massive room. Each room has a separate control panel to control gravity and can go as high as 1,000 times that of Earth's gravity."
Bulma raised an eyebrow, "While the limit is impressive, why use a wish on something my father and I could have built?"
Naruto simply smirked, "It's indestructible, meaning it'll also serve as a portable bunker. Meaning the next time there's a major threat, the fighters won't have to worry about the safety of our loved ones, and instead can put all our focus into the battle at hand."
A year later
Near Mount Paozu, outside the Son family home, Gohan and Naruto could be seen having a light spar. After feeling Vegeta land a few hours ago, Gohan wanted to have a simple hand to hand warm up before approaching Capsule Corp. Standing to the side, Chi Chi was watching until both boys stopped.
Naruto was dressed in his usual black GI with a short sleeve red undershirt over mesh armor that reaches his elbows. His belt, wristbands and boots were all red and his tail was wrapped over his belt. Gohan was wearing a GI in the same style but with Piccolo's colors
Naruto looked towards the younger boy, "Gohan, what is this energy signature I'm feeling?"
Gohan looked like he had seen a ghost, "Frieza… but that's not possible."
The elder Saiyan grabbed his cloak off a nearby boulder, "Well, considering how your dad barely made it off world before Namek blew, he probably didn't have enough time to confirm the bastards death." Looking towards Chi Chi as she approached, Naruto signed, "Look, I'm not even gonna try to hide what's going on. Goku failed to kill Frieza. I'm going and I'm pretty sure I couldn't convince Gohan to stay even if I wanted to."
Chi Chi frowned, "Keep him safe for me?"
Naruto smiled gently, "I promise to do my best. You should get to my place, the rest of the noncombatants should be heading there also." Lifting off gently, Naruto looked towards Gohan, "Let's go bro."
Near ground zero
As the two youngest Saiyans landed, they noticed Piccolo was already present and could sense several other energy signatures approaching. Naruto approached the Namekian while Gohan waited on the others to arrive, "So realistically, what are our chances here?"
Piccolo crossed his arms and looked to the sky, "Between Gohan, Vegeta, you and me, we should be okay."
Naruto expanded his senses and focused, "Who is the other energy signature up closer to where the bastard is going to land?"
Piccolo rose a nonexistent eyebrow before focusing his own senses, "To be honest, I'm not sure. Whomever it is, feels like they're at about the same level as Vegeta and you."
"And that's just what we can sense," feeling the arrival of the others, Naruto created a quick mental link with Piccolo. "We should probably keep this between us until we know more."
"I'm going to let Gohan know," Piccolo paused, then his mouth twitched into an amused smirk. "You get to let Vegeta know."
"Aw, why do I have to talk to the princess?"
Piccolo snorted, "Because it'd be better if he found out now, rather than during a fight."
"I think it's just for your twisted amusement," Naruto whispered. "Despite that, you're right. It's better to get this over with." Turning around, the whiskers Saiyan walked up to the arrogant Prince of Saiyans.
A few minutes ago
Landing, Vegeta looked up and saw Gohan and Krillin. Sending their energy, the prince could see that they both had increased their power levels, especially the little half breed. Deciding he could use a warm up, he began to approach the boy, before he sensed the Namekian with another power level.
Looking in their direction, Vegeta saw that the new person was approaching him. The first thing the prince noticed, was that this guy was wearing an outfit similar to Goku's, with the addition of a high collar cloak with black flames. Then Vegeta noticed the tail.
Naruto cut Vegeta off by holding a hand out to shake hands with the prince, "Let's get one thing straight, you're prideful, I get that. No matter how many members are left, you are still the Prince of Saiyans. That being said, you want any respect from me? It's earned not given, so don't talk to me as if I'm an ant and maybe we'll get along. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, as to my past, I'll happily exchange that info for info about the Saiyan race after this situation has been dealt with."
Vegeta held the young Saiyans gaze for a moment, trying to get a measure on the boy. He was slightly ticked off about the whole respect thing, but he couldn't deny being impressed by the way he presented himself. One look and the prince could tell this was a warrior, perhaps he'd wait to judge the boy. Vegeta reached forward and grasped the outstretched hand...tightly, "You'll know your place soon enough boy."
Naruto smirked and gripped back equally as tight, "Oh? And what place is that Princess?" The whiskered Saiyan pulled his hand back when he saw a vein appear on Vegeta's forehead. "The whole reason I came over here is because Piccolo and I sensed another energy up closer to where Frieza should be landing. The person must have noticed us because it disappeared shortly afterwards. Whether you wanted the heads up or not, you know that we can't afford any surprises right now with who's coming. By the way, any clue who the second, slightly weaker, signature is?"
Vegeta took a deep breath to resist lashing out at the 'Princess' comment. "It doesn't matter who this mystery person is, I'll be handling Frieza myself. As to the second signature, maybe I'll let you try your hand against that one, Frieza's father King Cold. I'll get to see what you can do."
Naruto grinned, "I'll try not to make you jealous." Before Vegeta could respond, the younger Saiyan lifted off the ground and faced the group that had been watching the two Saiyans interact. Spotting a head of blue hair, Naruto sighed, "I don't care who's stupid decision it was to bring Bulma but I'm sure I can take a guess. Yamcha, I'm trusting her safety to you. If anything happens to her and you're alive, I'll beat you into a coma." Afterwards, he quickly took to the air, staying close to the ground with his power level suppressed to get closer to Frieza's ship.
Piccolo snorted, "Kids in a bit of a rush, Tien you're with Gohan. Vegeta you're with me or Naruto. Along with Krillin, we'll be surrounding the landing location while Naruto keeps the enemies focus. If he is forced to go full power or quickly overpowered, we'll intervene." Creating a quick mental link with Gohan, Krillin and Vegeta, Piccolo added, "Naruto and I are hoping to draw out our mystery KI source first."
Vegeta simply crossed his arms, "I'll play along for now."
Landing Zone
Frieza's ship had landed and the tyrant, his father and their men had just exited the ship and taken in the sight of the wasteland they landed in. Frieza turned to address the soldiers, "Move out men, and when you encounter the earthlings, well...you know what to do. If you come across Vegeta, I do wish to see him again. No go!"
The moment half of the men lifted off, multiple slashes appeared coming from both directions. The bodies of those men immediately dropped, while the gazes of the remaining soldiers along with the two tyrants were drawn to the two new arrivals.
Glancing to his right, Naruto took in the appearance of the swordsman as he let his energy blade fade. 'To be honest, with the hair color and the Capsule Corp jacket, this guy looks like he's related to Bulma.' Seeing the warrior give him a similar look, Naruto gave a light smile as he looked back to the enemy and spoke lowly, "Naruto Uzumaki."
"...Trunks."
Standing across from the warriors, Frieza gave a quick glance at the two strangers before spotting a twitch from the 'belt' of the black and red dressed warrior. The tyrant gave an amused smirk, "My, you monkeys keep popping up everywhere."
Naruto smirked back, "Well, considering the last monkey you came across gave you such a nice makeover, maybe you should have been more thorough with our annihilation." His smirk turned into a fanged grin when he saw the tyrant tense his crossed arms and increase his grip. "Guess it's hoping for too much to assume that you've come to Earth to repent for your wicked ways?"
Frieza felt his eye twitch, "No, I'm afraid not. I have a much better plan," The tyrant let a cruel smirk form on his lips, "Instead, I'm going to pile the dead bodies of Son Goku's friends and allies in front of my ship-"
Naruto sighed, "I was afraid you were going to say something like that." He shrugged his shoulders, before slipping his coat off and tossing it backwards, forming a crater on impact. "See, I've only been on this a planet a short time. That being said, I kind of like it here. So I'd prefer if you didn't get all blast happy."
"Someone remove this annoying pest from my presence!"
"Guess there's no avoiding it then,"
As the soldiers spread out, Trunks stepped forward, "Listen up, I'll only say this once! Surrender now and I'll let you live! Once we start this, there's no going back!"
One of the soldiers stepped forward before pressing a button to get a read on both warriors power levels. "Hmph, the guy with purple hair is only reading a five, what a joke. The monkey has a power level of three, this shouldn't take long." The soldier raised is hand before firing a small KI orb.
Seeing Trunks carelessly deflect it, Naruto snorted, "Honestly, he's just trying to insult you at this point." Seeing the purple haired boy deflect three more, the whiskered Saiyan sighed, "I'm bored." Deciding to start things, Naruto rushed in low and fast.
Trunks followed close behind, watching as his temporary ally calmy redirected the soldiers arm before dropping to a handstand and driving both feet into the aliens gut, launching him into the air. Taking the shot, Trunks rose up and hit the soldier with a roundhouse kick, sending him into the side of Frieza's ship unconscious.
Naruto stood as Trunks landed beside him, "Good assist." Seeing the rest of the soldiers about to charge, Naruto focused his KI into both hands sharply, "I'll take the left half." Seeing the soldiers charge, both humanoids disappeared.
When they reappeared, Trunks was sheathing his sword while Naruto was seen with dual KI blades just before they faded away. As the bodies dropped, Trunks faced the two tyrants, "Remind me, what was it you were saying to those soldiers before we appeared. Something about killing all the Earthlings before the Super Saiyan showed up?"
Frieza just grinned, "That is what I said, wipe out humanity. Although, finding myself short of minions, I guess I'll just have to roll up the proverbial sleeves and get my hands a little dirty."
Naruto watched the interaction silently while focusing on his senses, 'His KI is slowly rising and the way he's talking is starting to make me question a few things. So, he's a Super Saiyan?' Noticing the rocks starting to rise, Naruto vanished and reappeared about fifty yards to the left. Focusing heavily on his senses, Naruto paid close attention to Trunks' energy and how it was being focused. 'Seems like it's being concentrated into his back...am I sensing anger? I haven't really noticed any emotions until now, maybe I retained a small bit of the negative emotion sensing. Thank you Kurama!' Seeing his new friends hair standing up and golden, with jade eyes, Naruto let out a low whistle, 'That really is an impressive transformation, and if I'm right, I should be able to recreate it later. So let's see, purple hair, Capsule Corp jacket and he's at least part Saiyan. I'm from another dimension, so with some of the tech at Bulma's company currently, it's believable that she's his mother in the future. If that's true, who's daddy?'
Naruto stood to the side and watched as the formery smug tyrant had a short mental breakbone, launching multiple attacks at Trunks. Probably having flashbacks of Goku.' Naruto looked on as Frieza threw a massive blast at the SSJ, he knew Trunks would have no problem with it and was just toying with the alien overlords. He was proven right when Trunks slowly walked out of the crater carrying Frieza's Super Nova above his head. He snorted at the SSJ's sarcasm, "Yeah, we'd probably get along." Naruto followed the Saiyans energy as it reappeared on the cliff above himself and the tyrants. Trunks quickly got the attention of the tyrants as he fired off a powerful KI blast that was narrowly escaped as Frieza and Cold shot into the air in different directions.
Seeing his chance to end this quickly, Naruto vanished in a burst of speed and reappeared in King Cold's guard, drawing the father's attention from the SSJ descending on his son.
Glancing down, the shifter saw a massive swirling blue orb in his gut, "Now wait just-"
"Cho RasenNami! (Super Spiralling wave)" The swirling orb burst into a beam that obliterated Cold from his hip to just below his shoulders. Letting the blast die down, Naruto watched as the former tyrant dropped without a single sound. "I was really starting to get bored with these guys." Looking up, he caught sight of Frieza sliced into pieces just before Trunks incinerated those pieces with a KI blast. As Trunks lowered, Naruto rubbed the back of his neck with a grin present, "Thank god you were here, not sure I could have handled both of them myself." The whiskered Saiyan's voice dropped low as he spoke again, "Then again, I'm sure you already know that your mother and her friends are on that cliff."
Trunk's eyes widened for just a fraction of a second as he dropped his transformation.
Naruto grinned, "I thought so, don't worry, that's family business as far as I'm concerned."
Trunks sighed in relief, "Thanks for that, wouldn't wanna prevent my own birth."
"Might not wanna give them a name then, that plus your appearance and heritage kinda gave it away to me." Naruto shrugged, "Fortunately, Piccolo is the only other person who would put it together that easily."
"That's pretty sound advice."
Both Saiyan's attention was drawn towards a slim female of 5'6". She had purple hair pulled into a ponytail, a purple tank top that stopped just above her navel, tight black shorts, white gloves and shoes. Naruto took in these features for a moment...plus a few other features. 'Damn, she's like a younger, hotter version of Bulma.' Thinking on this for another moment, Naruto smiled, "Another child of Bulma from the future? What is this a family reunion on the battlefield?"
The newcomer giggled while Trunks had his eyes wide. She extended her hand towards the whiskered Saiyan, "Bulla Briefs."
"Naruto Uzumaki," Glancing to the male time traveler and seeing his shocked expression Naruto rose and eyebrow, "We dealing with multiple timelines here?"
The siblings glanced to each other for a moment before Trunks spoke up, "Androids?" Receiving a small nod from his sister, Trunks crossed his arms, "Different but similar it seems, although I've never heard of you Naruto."
"Neither have I, although, I have no future to go back to. So I got plenty of time to get to know you whiskers." At the end of her statement, she ran a finger across Naruto's cheeks getting a purr out of him.
Naruto felt a shiver shoot down his spine, 'Honestly, I feel like I'm dealing with Anko or Ino.' Taking a step back to collect himself, Naruto took a deep breath, "I'm assuming you both came back for more than Frieza?"
Bulla gave a grim nod, "It'd be best if we waited for Kakarot to arrive in about two hours."
Trunks nodded in agreement, "Luckily I know where he's going to land."
Naruto gently lifted off the ground, "Well, let me just hollar at the rest of the group and we'll get going." Turning towards the cliff that his friends were on, Naruto cupped his mouth, "YO! THESE TWO KNOW WHERE GOKU IS GOING TO LAND! LET'S GO WELCOME HIM HOME!" Afterwards, he took off with the siblings just in front of him, "So...Kakarot? Would that make you Vegeta's kids?"
Trunks simply facepalmed while Bulla let out another giggle, "It's nice having another Saiyan around with the ability to use their brain."
"Now wait just a damn minute here!" Vegeta shouted with a glare directed towards the whisker marked Saiyan. "What the hell do you mean you can't tell us anything else about these two brats?!"
Naruto sighed, the prince had been like this since landing, 'Probably because of Trunks transforming into a Super Saiyan.'
Bulla stepped forward, "Look, him and I are siblings but from different futures. For example, I don't have anything to return to and never had a brother until now. Plus, Naruto was never present in either of our timelines, so we're dealing with uncharted territory here. My name is Bulla, his is Trunks, that plus our appearance should tell you all who mommy dearest is."
Bulma stepped forward, "You're both my kids?" Receiving nods, she looked towards her daughter, who she noticed looked like a muscular clone. "And you said there's nothing for you to return to."
"That's right-" before she could continue, she was engulfed in a hug by her 'mother'.
After a moment, Bulma pulled back with an apologetic smile while giving the girls hands a reassuring squeeze, "Then you'll just have to stay at Capsule Corp with you grandparents and me."
Bulla returned the squeeze and the smile, "As much as I would love to, and I really would, I don't really think that would be a good idea. The more interaction I have with you all, the more that the future may change."
The elder of the two Briefs women hummed in thought. After a few moments, her eyes lit up, "You said that Naruto wasn't present in your timeline, correct?" Receiving a nod in response, Bulma smiled brightly, "Then I'll just have to give him a larger Capsule home to accommodate. By the way Naruto, the publisher called about the first Shinobi Storm book, said it'll be hitting the shelves soon."
Bulla smirked as she looked to the shocked Saiyan, "That's a good point, I can interact as much as I want with him without influencing the timeline." She then looked back to her mother, "It's settled then, I'll be staying with whiskers at least until the androids arrive. After all, our goal is to change the timeline from that point on."
The whiskered Saiyan couldn't believe this, "Stop talking about me like I'm not here! Shouldn't I get a say in this?!"
Both women looked to him and grinned, before replying cheerily in unison, "Nope!"
The male Saiyan vanished from sight for a moment, before reappearing off to the side, crouched over, with a small rain cloud above his head as he drew circles in the dirt. After a moment, a thought knocked him out of his temporary depression, "Hey! This just means I won't even need to leave home for a decent sparring partner anymore!"
Piccolo smirked and crossed his arms, "Seriously, with the way you were eyeing her earlier, it's not like you were going to turn her down anyway whiskers."
The group burst into laughter as Naruto blushed brightly while scowling at the Namekian. "Screw you Green Bean!" he yelled as he launched himself at his teacher. The sound of laughter increased as a dust cloud was formed with the occasional limb being seen from the cloud.
Later
After a short scuffle, the fight broke up and the group began conversing to pass the time. Trunks had even pulled out a Capsule to reveal a mini fridge that held refreshments for everyone. Currently, the male time traveler was sitting against a rock throwing occasional glances towards the Saiyan Prince.
Vegeta had noticed the looks coming from Trunks and finally had enough, "What? You see something you like boy?!" Watching as the purple haired Saiyan averted his gaze, Vegeta smirked, "Yeah, that's right, eyes to yourself! I don't swing that way!"
Naruto smirked wickedly and gently elbowed Bulla to get her attention. "Hey Vegeta!" the whiskered Saiyan called out, getting the older Saiyan's attention, "Nice shirt...Princess!"
Bulla giggled when she saw a vein appear on her father's forehead, "Yeah, pink is a good color on you!"
Vegeta's hands began leaking blood from how tight his fists were clinched, "That's enough! I'm going to-"
"Hey look, here comes Goku's ship!"
Seeing the ship approaching, Vegeta took a deep breath, "This isn't over boy!"
Naruto simply smirked in response, "Whatever you say…Princess." Seeing the 'princess' fuming at the continued insults, Naruto snorted. 'Man, never thought I'd enjoy pissing people off this much. Must be a Saiyan thing.'
A few moments later, Goku's ship had landed and everyone was standing at the edge of the crater formed from the impact. Stepping out of the ship, Goku looked in surprise that all his friends were gathered, "Hey, how'd you guys know where I was going to land?"
Vegeta scoffed, "That would be thanks to the purple haired kids."
Trunks stepped forward, "Goku, could I speak to you for a moment."
Goku nodded and stepped and lifted off to follow Trunks. Before either could leave, they were interrupted.
"Trunks, if you're in a hurry to get home then you don't have time for a dick measuring contest."
Goku looked towards the source of the voice and was slightly surprised to find someone in a black and red GI with a coat. Then he remembered that King Kia had mentioned something about a new Saiyan on Earth that his son, Gohan, had taken a liking to. "You're Naruto," after receiving a nod, Goku smiled brightly, "I hear I'm a little late to say this, but welcome to Earth."
Bulla stepped forward, "Look, my name is Bulla," she pointed towards the still hovering teen, "That's Trunks. He and I are both from alternate futures that have been destroyed by androids created by Dr Gero of the Red Ribbon Army. He built these androids for the purpose of killing you in retaliation for you stopping him in your youth. Unfortunately, you had died from a heart virus a few months before the androids attacked. Bulma, who is the mother of both Trunks and I, built a time machine so we could each travel back in time to at least give you all a fighting chance. Everyone here, has died in our timelines..."
Goku's eyes widened, along with everyone else's, "That's...a lot to take in."
Naruto sighed, "You're right Goku...but," Everyone looked to the whiskered Saiyan, as Naruto looked towards the travelers, "Would I be correct in assuming that there was no warning of their attack?" Bulla hesitated for a split second, before nodding immediately after Trunks. 'Could she be...' Naruto shook his head, before looking back to Goku just as the elder Saiyan received a small bottle from Trunks, he'd address her hesitation in private. "That means we have multiple anomalies working in our favor, unfortunately, they could also work against us depending on the changes they bring to the timeline."
Goku tilted his head in confusion, "Would you care to explain?"
The younger Saiyan closed his eyes and raised his right hand with a single finger extended as he began listing the current changes, "First of all, I was never present in either of their timelines, meaning that you all have an extra fighter on your side that is completely unknown to the enemy. Second, if my assumption of the contents of the bottle in your hand is correct, then we'll still have you on our side. Although, considering it was a heart condition that killed you in the future, plus with Trunks and myself taking out Frieza and Cold, your heart condition may not show itself until a later date. Although, that brings me to the last big anomaly, having the knowledge of the attack in the first place."
Vegeta scoffed, "You act like that's such a big deal boy."
Naruto narrowed his eyes, "And your underestimating the value of this knowledge Princess! Everyone here, except Goku and myself, were killed by these androids, that includes you!" Seeing a small amount of realization dawn upon the warrior, Naruto continued, "Knowing that, I'll bet your already revising your current training plan to be more intense than ever, which means you'll be stronger than you were in their future. As long as everyone else here does the same, we may actually stand a chance. Let me be clear though, if you're not training yourself into the ground, then picking yourself up, only to repeat the process until you can't move; then your wasting your time and possibly endangering the lives of the people you care about. When the day comes, you should remain with the non-combatants like the Brief family or Master Roshi as a last line of defense." As he made his statement, his eyes swept over the gathered warriors. 'When did Goku get those ridiculous glasses...?'
Trunks nodded slightly, "As harsh as the wording may be, Naruto has a strong point."
Goku nodded in agreement, "Honestly, even if everyone here does break themselves training, we should still have a last line when the androids attack." The elder SSJ felt his eyes widen in realization as his gaze returned to the time travelling duo, "Speaking of, neither of you actually mentioned when that is."
Once again, Naruto noticed Bulla hesitate before letting Trunks answer.
"Three years from now on May 12th, at 10am, nine miles southwest of South City."
The whiskered Saiyan decided to get a second opinion on his thoughts concerning the female Saiyan while the rest of the group spoke and bid goodbye to Trunks. 'Piccolo, can you here me?' Naruto saw the Namekian make eye contact and nod in confirmation, so he shared his observations and thoughts with his teacher.
Piccolo closed his eyes and crossed his arms, 'You're bringing up valid concerns, but why don't you just tell me what you think the reasoning is. Do you think that Bulla is actually an enemy?'
'WHAT?!' Naruto had to physically restrain himself from reacting outwardly, 'No! I think she's from a different time than Trunks.'
'She already confir-'
Naruto shook his head, 'I'm not just talking about a different future here Piccolo. I think she's from a different point in time, further into the future.'
The seven foot tall warrior felt his eyes widen just a fraction, 'So there was an android attack but it was before she was born, therefore she doesn't know the exact details?' Piccolo saw his student nod, making the Namekian think hard about the possibility. 'It's possible and actually makes sense. The question is, how and when will you confront her?'
Naruto sighed and ran his hands through his black hair, 'I'm not sure yet, but when I do, you and Goku will be the first two that will know whatever I find out. I may be strong, but you two have more experience than me. I'll need help planning...'
END
So I just wanted to credit the idea for my indestructible warehouse to ts24 and his story Searching in the past
Sorry if anyone has a problem with my introduction of Bulla, but I wanted something different.
