Chapter two: The announcement of The Iron Fist Tournament.
The effect was instantaneous. Goku's muscles began to get larger. His nails and teeth began to get sharper. His body began to grow, and hair began to cover his entire body. The parents and the little girl were in shock.
"Wow, what's happening to him," asked the father.
His wife couldn't respond.
The little girl's eyes kept looking at Goku's form in amazement.
The four heroes, except Saitama who found it to be fascinating, gulped nervously.
"Oh, god," said Bang. "Let's just hope he can control this form and he doesn't go on a rampage."
Tatsumaki nodded. "Yeah, I hope so too."
Genos wasn't worried about that. He knew if Goku San went on a rampage his master could easily subdue him. But, it was still an imposing form. A golden light began to surround the great ape. The fur on his body began to turn blond. When the transformation was over. A gigantic golden monkey was looking at them with a,… grin? They all looked in amazement.
"Wow, that's one huge monkey," said Saitama.
"Actually, the correct word for this form is called Oozaru," said the deep voice of Goku.
"Oh, right," said the bald hero with a chuckle. "Sorry about that."
Tatsumaki sighed in relief. It looked like Goku-Kun could control this Oozaru form.
Elena had stars in her eyes. "You look so cool Mr. Goku."
The monkey let out a deep chuckle. "Glad you like it. Now then."
Goku concentrated for a bit. Normally, he couldn't go back to his base form until the moon was gone. But luckily, since his Super Saiyan 4 transformation was connected to his monkey form. He could easily transform into that. And from that point, he could reverse back to his base form. Although, it did take some concentration to pull it off. And he wanted to make sure his Ssj 4 form was kept a secret for now. So he made sure to make his golden aura a bit flashy to hide it.
He also made sure to hide his energy. They couldn't sense ki, but they were able to feel the pressure of his energy. And Genos could calculate his strength with that scanner he has installed into his eyes. Though, Goku doubts that the Cyborg could estimate his full strength. Especially when he uses his god ki. The heroes and family of three shielded their eyes from bright light. And when the light was gone, Goku was back in his base form.
"Well, that's all I'm going to show you today."
Elena pouted but nodded.
The parents chuckled at their little girl. They bowed one last time towards the Saiyan in thanks and walked back to their home.
Goku smiled at the family. It reminded him so much of his own.
Goku looked at the heroes with a grin. "Well, it was nice meeting all of you. It's getting late, so I better get going."
Tatsumaki looked at Goku with a pout. "Hey, don't forget what you promised, Goku-Kun."
The Saiyan looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"Mo, you promised you to teach us to use ki, remember?"
The other three heroes looked up at Tatsumaki's words. They completely forgot about that.
"Oh, yeah. I did promise you that. But right now I'm still looking for a tournament to enter to earn some money. So, I'm sorry Tatsu-Chan," the Saiyan said with a bow. "Can we possibly postpone our lesson?"
The esper sighed but nodded. "Fine, I guess I don't mind."
Bang rubbed his chin in thought. "Oh, so you are looking for a tournament to enter, Goku."
The Saiyan nodded. "Yeah, on my Earth there was this great martial arts tournament that was held once a year. All the most powerful warriors from around the world would enter. And the winner gets not only the title of strongest under the heavens but also the grand prize of 10 million Zenni."
"Ten million Zenni? How much is that in Yen," asked Saitama curious.
Goku thought for a bit. "Mmmm, that's a good question. I think about double the amount. Since a ramen bowl cost about 60 Zenni on my world."
The others looked surprised. "Wow, 60 Zenni for a ramen bowl. That sounds cheap," said Saitama with a grin.
"Here on our Earth, it's about a 120 Yen."
Tatsumaki snorted. "If you buy them in a cheap ramen shop. The more expensive kind that we just ate cost around 250 yen."
Saitama's eyes widened. "WHAT! 250 YEN! That's expensive."
Tatsumaki sighed. "What do you expect? This restaurant is known for using high-quality ingredients in their ramen."
Goku nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. It certainly was delicious. It was almost as good as the ramen Chichi used to make."
"Chichi," said Tatsumaki with a confused look. "Who is that?"
Goku sighed. "My wife."
The others looked surprised.
"You are married, Goku San," asked Genos.
"Well, I used to be. Unfortunately Chichi died a long time ago."
The heroes bowed their heads. Bang couldn't help but feel sadness. Goku looked to be not older than thirty. Losing your wife at such a young age. That must have been devastating. Tatsumaki didn't know what to feel. She was sad that Goku had lost his wife at such a young age. But on the other hand, she felt relieved.
"Oh, we are sorry to hear that Goku San," said Genos with a sad voice.
Goku smiled at the cyborg. "Ah, don't worry. It happened a long time ago."
Saitama looked confused. "Say, Goku. How old are you anyway? You look very young for someone who has been married."
"Huh," said Goku with a thoughtful look. "That's a good question."
He died when he fought Raditz for the first time when he was 23. When he was in Other World his body didn't age. After that, he traveled to Namek and stayed on yardrat for at least a whole year. So, he was around 24 almost 25 then. Three years later he died again when he fought Cell. And stayed in Other World for seven years. So his body didn't age when he returned to Earth and fought Buu.
And after that came three years of peace before Lord Beerus and Whis arrived. Then came the most challenging fights he ever had. Fighting a revived Frieza. Who was still alive, unfortunately. The Ice-Jin had a huge lifespan. The Saiyan from Earth hasn't seen the bastard in over 20 years. He tried to attack Goku when he just started his training journey and made his first stop on a barren planet. But the Ice-Jin overestimated himself again. Goku easily defeated Frieza using his Ultra Instinct technique. He was much stronger when he first used the technique in the Tournament of Power.
Goku grinned. That was when he faced his most challenging opponent yet. Jiren. From what Goku has heard. Jiren became an apprentice of the angel of universe 11. What was her name again? Margarita? And Toppo became the new god of destruction. As for their counterpart universe 6. He had heard that Hit became the new destroyer god. And those Saiyans had become gods like him, Vegeta and Broly.
Goku's eyes softened when he thought of his first student. Broly was another amazing warrior he fought a few weeks after the Tournament of Power. He was incredibly strong and talented. Though he had no control over his powers back then. No thanks to that bastard of a father, Paragus. After that event, Goku took Broly under his wing. He taught the Saiyan everything he knew about martial arts. And after he became a god himself, his power skyrocketed to amazing heights. Surpassing his Super Saiyan blue kaioken times 20 by a long shot. Though, Broly's god form unlike his or Vegeta's was dark green in color instead of red. And when Broly went beyond Super Saiyan God. His aura turned purple. When Broly used that form, he could easily go to and to with the likes of Jiren and Beerus.
But, Goku had two tricks up his sleeve that Broly and even Vegeta didn't know about. He had not only found a new transformation. But he also found a level beyond Super Saiyan blue during his training in outer space. The transformation was called Ssj 5. His appearance changed quite drastically. His red fur of his Ssj 4 transformation turned a light grey. While his eyes turned a dark red. His black hair turned white and grew past his ankles. He looked pretty intimidating in that form. As for his new god form. He called it simple his Omni mode. It was certainly the most powerful god transformation that he had. Although, he didn't like using that form that much. If Goku had to be honest. His appearance in that form made him look like a bad guy. Dark-blue hair with red streaks. His eyes turned purple with three rings in them. A red line covered his chest and arms. With a red dot on the spot of his heart. And to complete the sinister look. Goku gained an upside red triangle on his forehead.
(Yeah, it's my version of Omni god. Honestly, the white hair is getting old. And I wanted something different. Though, I really liked the red line on his arms and his chest. So, I kept that. As for the purple eyes… If you are a Naruto fan. Then you know what they are. Unfortunately, Goku's eyes haven't the same abilities as Nagato's. I just thought they would look cool.)
So yeah, he wasn't planning on using that form unless he really needed it. Anyway, he was getting off track. He achieved his godhood about 5 years after the Tournament of power. At that time he could easily access his ultra instinct technique. Though, even if he mastered said technique. Which was an accomplishment by itself. Since Vegeta and Broly hadn't mastered this technique yet. It took Goku a long time to beat Whis. Goku wasn't quite sure how he would stand against any of the other Angels. Not to mention the grand priest or Zeno. Well, Zeno was out of his reach. He was the Omni king for a reason after all. He respected Zeno's power. And he was a good playmate. That's why he named his new god form after his little friend. Besides, having the ability to erase an entire universe out of existence with a wave of his hand was beyond the Saiyan's ability.
Goku scratched his head in confusion. "I think I'm around 30."
"Around thirty? Can't you recall your own age?"
Goku looked at Saitama with an embarrassed chuckle. "Sorry, it's been such a long time since anybody asked my age. I think I'm around 36, maybe 37."
Well, physically anyway. Mentally he was around 131 years old. But, he decided to keep his godhood a secret for now.
Bang chuckled. "Well, you're certainly very powerful for someone so young. I think that even Saitama and Blast would stand no chance against you."
Genos snorted at Bang's words. "Please, although Goku's powers are impressive. Master Saitama never lost a single match. Each opponent he faced in battle he has beaten them with a single punch."
"That's about right," said Saitama with a nod. "Except for that alien Boros. It took a serious single punch to kill that guy."
Tatsumaki frowned at Saitama. Was this guy for real? A serious punch to defeat a god threat.
"I agree with your statement of Goku-Kun being more powerful than Blast."
She then glared at Saitama. "And you, B-Class. Stop lying about defeating powerful enemies with a single punch. There is no way anyone except that sidekick of yours would believe you."
Saitama gained a tick mark on his forehead. The bald hero tried to stay calm.
Genos glared at the esper. "How dare you call master a liar. And I am no sidekick. I am master's student."
Tatsumaki chuckled. "Oh, how hilarious. An S-class like you following a B-Class like that. How low can you sink."
"Listen up Tornado. The only reason why Master Saitama is a B-Class is because of his low results on the writing exam. But his strength is the real deal. In fact, he far surpasses you or any other S-Class in power. Even Blast and King wouldn't stand a chance against him."
Tornado smirked. An oppressive green aura began to radiate from the Esper. "Is that so? Well, how about we find out right now how strong this B-Class really is."
Saitama sighed. He really didn't want to deal with this now. He wanted to get some sleep. So he could be on the time for the special bargain they had in the supermarket tomorrow.
Genos smirked. "Oh, you will regret it, Esper. But please, go right ahead. I look forward to see Master Saitama stomping you in the dirt were you belong."
Tatsumaki glared at the Cyborg. Nobody talked to her like that. She was going to show this Cyborg just how strong she was. She turned towards, Saitama. The bald hero had a bored look on his face. Like he didn't even care. Tatsumaki glared even harder. If looks could kill, he would already be dead. How dare this baldy ignore her. She was going to teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.
But before Tatsumaki could engage in a fight. All the heroes including Saitama felt suddenly an enormous pressure. It made Genos, Bang and Tatsumaki fell on their knees. They couldn't move. Saitama looked at the person who was responsible for this phenomenon. Goku had a slight silver aura around his body. His eyes were glaring at Tatsumaki.
Saitama felt a slight chill when he saw those eyes. "What the hell was that," though the bald hero confused.
Did his body actually warn him about fighting, Goku? That can't be right, could it? Although, he had never met someone who could give him chills just by looking at him. Saitama smirked. Could Goku really be the one who would give him a decent fight?
Tatsumaki was amazed by the huge pressure coming from Goku. It was even a stronger feeling when Goku turned Super Saiyan. She was also shocked that Saitama was still standing. How could a B-Class still stand when she, an S-Class could not. Was Genos telling the truth? Was Saitama really that strong?
Bang couldn't believe what he was experiencing right now. This pressure he felt was beyond anything he had ever felt before. Goku was incredible. There was no doubt in his mind. King and even the powerful S-class hero Blast would stand no chance. Saitama was the only one who was still standing.
Genos was in shock.. His scanner went into overload. He was on his knees and couldn't move. He knew that Goku was powerful. There was no question about that. But this? Genos looked at his master. He was still standing, as expected from Sensei. Genos saw something that made him even more surprised. His master had a smirk on his face while looking at Goku. He saw Saitama clenching his fist. Almost like he was excited.
The hard pressure suddenly began to disappear. The three S-Class heroes stood up slowly. When Tatsumaki looked in Goku's direction she flinched a bit. He had still his silver aura around him. And his eyes were looking at the Esper with a stern expression.
"Tatsumaki," said Goku with a serious voice.
The Esper flinched again. Goku had never used her full name before.
"I am disappointed in you. You let your emotions get to you when Genos said that Saitama was stronger than you."
The green-haired girl sighed. Goku was right. She let her anger cloud her judgment. She wouldn't believe that a B-Class was stronger than her. I mean, just by looking at Saitama's appearance made her question the hero's strength.
"Sorry, Goku-Kun. It's just that, Saitama doesn't look that strong."
Goku sighed. "Let me give you a lesson you must never forget. No matter how weak a person may look. Never judges someone's ability by appearance. It may cost you your life someday."
All the heroes looked surprised at Goku's wise words.
Saitama smiled at that. This Goku fellow was something else.
Tatsumaki nodded. "I guess you are right. It looks like I still need a lot training to become a strong hero. After all, a hero can't be weak."
Goku frowned. "Let me ask you a question. What defines a warrior? Or in your case a hero."
Tatsumaki thought for a bit. "Uh, power and skill? Maybe experience?"
Goku shook his head. "Wrong. Although those things are important. It does not define a hero."
Tatsumaki and even Genos looked confused. Though Saitama and Bang had a small smile on their face.
"A warrior or a hero are those who risk their lives for others. They are people who selfishly put their lives on the line without expecting anything in return."
The silver aura around Goku began to disappear.
The Saiyan smiled softly. "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength. But the strength of his heart. Remember that Tatsu-Chan."
The girl blushed when Goku called her by her nickname. The girl nodded sheepishly.
Saitama suddenly spoke. "Goku," said Saitama seriously. "I'm going to do something. I apologize in advance if something bad happens to you."
The three heroes were confused at Saitama's words.
But Goku nodded with a grin. "Sure, go right ahead."
In a blink of an eye, Saitama vanished from sight. The other heroes could not comprehend the speed of the bald hero. He appeared behind Goku with a clenched fist ready to strike.
"….. DEATH"
Normally, Saitama would never use this move on a human. Especially someone as friendly as Goku. But, he couldn't help it. When he felt that slight chill in his body earlier. He wanted to test the Saiyan. The only human he ever used this move on was, Genos. Although, he never went through with it. He didn't want to kill the Cyborg. But seeing Goku's abilities and that feeling he felt earlier made him change his mind. He decided to use one of his strongest normal punches. Goku didn't disappoint. Instead of the usual explosion of flesh, his fist was stopped by an incredible force.
Goku was impressed. That attack came close to one of the punches of Majin Buu. (Fat Buu.)
Saitama was amazed. Goku didn't just stop his punch. He negated the force of his attack. Normally, when he punched someone. The force of his strike let out a huge shockwave. But somehow, this guy negated it.
Goku smirked. "Are you satisfied?"
Saitama grinned. "Oh yeah. I am."
Genos stood there. His mind in total shock. Goku San actually stopped one of master's punches. And by the looks of it, Goku did it with ease. His body was surrounded by his Super Saiyan aura. Though, his hair was still black. But at closer inspection. You could see a slight hint of yellow at the top of Goku's spikes.
Tatsumaki couldn't believe what she was seeing. Not even in her wildest dreams did she believe that baldy was capable of such speed. And she was even more amazed by Goku's skill. The Saiyan from Earth easily caught the punch like it was childsplay.
Bang chuckled on the inside. Goku's skill as a martial artist amazed him even further. He not only caught Saitama's punch but completely dispelled the force of said attack.
"You are the first person who ever caught my punch. You are strong," said Saitama with an excited grin.
Goku chuckled. "Thanks, so are you. You are very impressive. Did you have any sort of training in martial arts?"
Saitama shook his head. "Nah, I never followed any martial arts. I just trained my body doing physical exercises."
"Oh," said Goku curious. "What kind of exercises?"
Saitama sighed. "Everybody when I say this. But I did one hundred sit-ups, one hundred pull-ups and a three-kilometer run each day for three years. I also use no air conditioner in the summer to strengthen my mind."
Tatsumaki looked at Saitama like he was crazy. "Are you a moron? How could anyone get so strong with such basic training?"
Saitama frowned. "It wasn't basic, it was really hard. Each day fell like hell on Earth. And when only a year had passed I began to notice a huge difference. My hair started to fall off. And two years later I became bald."
"Wait, you had hair," said Tatsumaki surprised.
Saitama gained a tick mark on his forehead. "Of course I had hair. What did you think? That I was born bald?"
"Technically Sensei, when a baby is born. It normally doesn't possess much hair. Though, some newborns are an exception and are born with a lot of hair or even none at all. It's quite an interesting subject," said Genos with a thoughtful look.
"Thanks for the info, Genos. But could we stop talking about my lack of hair. It's not a fun subject for me to talk about."
The bald hero still missed his beautiful hair. If he had known that his training regime would cause the loss of his hair. He would have never continued his training.
Goku chuckled. "Let me check something for a bit, okay."
"Uh, sure," said Saitama confused.
Goku put his hand on Saitama's bald head. Tatsumaki giggled at Goku's actions.
"What the heck are you doing," said Saitama annoyed.
"Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate," said Goku.
"What for?"
"I am trying to find out the source of your power. And when I locate it I can find out the reason for your increased strength."
All the heroes looked amazed. "You can do that," asked Genos.
"Yes, but it takes concentration. So please, keep quiet for a bit."
After a while, Goku opened his eyes.
"I see, so that's what happened. I understand."
"You do? So, how did I become so strong?"
"It's quite simple really. You have removed your limiters on your body."
"My limiters?"
"Yes. You see, each individual has a certain amount limiters in their body. They acts as blockades, to make sure you don't gain too much strength. Since the human body is made of bones, flesh, muscles, and water. It can only contain a slight amount of power. Though, there is a way to break those limits."
"Oh? And what's that," said Bang curious.
"By training your body in extreme conditions," said Goku with a grin.
Saitama looked at the Tatsumaki with a smug look. "See, I told you. The training I went through helped me to gain my strength."
The Esper rolled her eyes. "Goku-Kun said harsh conditions. Not basic training regimen for a jogger."
"What do you mean basic training? I went through hell during those 3 years."
Goku sighed. "Sorry Saitama, but Tatsumaki is right. The exercises you did are not that hard. I could do those when I was only twelve."
Saitama got depressed. "Then how did I break my limiters?"
Goku smirked. "That's the most impressive thing. You broke your limiters through sheer force."
"But I wasn't that strong back then. How could I have broken them through sheer force?"
Goku shook his head. "By force, I don't mean by strength. You used your mind. You broke yours through sheer willpower. Which is something I have never heard before."
Saitama and the heroes looked surprised. "So, master Saitama gained his strength by using his will? That's quite amazing. Though, It's master Saitama we are talking about. There is nothing he can't do, said the Cyborg with a proud grin."
"Except maybe taking exams," thought Genos with a sweatdrop.
"While impressive as that sounds. It doesn't explain Saitama's lack of hair," said Tatsumaki with a thoughtful look.
Saitama sighed. "Will you lay off already? I don't know why it happened, ok."
Goku chuckled. "Well, that's a side effect of him gaining so much power."
"Wait, are you telling me that by gaining his strength. Saitama has lost his hair," said Bang shocked.
"Well, not exactly. He didn't lose his hair by just gaining strength. Otherwise, everyone with huge powers would be bald. Including me."
Tatsumaki had a mental image of a bald Goku in her head. She began to shake her head.
"Goku-Kun, don't say that. It would be such a waste of your good looks."
The Saiyan scratched his cheek nervously. He had a slight blush on his face. "Euh, thanks Tatsu-Chan."
Saitama frowned. "Hey, what do you mean by that? What's wrong with being bald?"
Tatsumaki looked at the bald hero with a deadpan look. "It's unattractive in my eyes."
Genos tried to console his master. "Don't worry Sensei. If you want, my offer still stands of making that hair-growing medicine."
But before Saitama could reject the offer, Goku spoke up.
"That won't be necessary."
The Saiyan from Earth put his hand for the second time on Saitama's head. Much to the bald hero's annoyance.
"I can easily fix Saitama's problem."
"You can," said Saitama with hope in his eyes.
"Yes," said Goku with a grin.
The Saiyan hand began to glow yellow light. The glow began to surround Saitama's head.
"You, see. The reason why you became bald is because of the sudden increase of power your body at that time experienced. It was way too much power for your body to handle. The sudden increase of strength must have damaged your hair follicles and the blood vessels that are beneath them."
"What are hair follicles," asked Saitama confused.
"Allow me to explain, Master Saitama. Let's begin at the top," said Genos. "First, let's do a quick recap of what hair follicles are and why they're so crucial. Hair growth begins under the human skin, where cells come together to form keratin. This occurs at the hair root, which is housed inside of a follicle, a small tube in your skin. Once your hair grows, it pushes all the way from the root, out of the follicle, and finally, through the skin, where it becomes visible. There are little blood vessels at the base of each hair follicle. These are tasked with feeding the hair root, which keeps it growing. The hair follicle is also usually attached to a sebaceous gland, which produces oil. This gives the hair its shine."
"…...Thanks for the info, Genos," said Saitama with a sweatdrop.
"You are welcome Master," said the cyborg with a proud look.
Goku chuckled at the Cyborg's antics.
It took a while before Goku was finished. The damage that happened was far more severe than he had first thought. He also found a few bones and muscle tissues that were damaged.
"There, that should do it. It took a while to repair the damage. But it should be okay now. Your hair should start growing again in a couple of weeks."
"Really," said Saitama with a happy smile.
This was the best day of Saitama's life. He will finally have his hair again. He bowed in gratitude.
"Thanks, Goku. If my hair does return. I will repay you by treating you to some udon noodles."
Goku grinned. "Sheesh, thanks. I will be looking forward to that. Until I earn some money I will be probably eating fish again."
"Huh, why don't you become a hero," asked Saitama confused. "I mean, the pay is quite good. And you have all the qualifications to be one."
Goku shook his head. "Nah, I don't need to become a hero to save people's lives. Besides, earning money to safe people. It just doesn't sit right with me."
Tatsumaki sighed at Goku's words. "That may be, true Goku-Kun. But how are you going to earn money? Do you have any diplomas?"
Goku grinned at Tatsumaki. "Nope, none at all. But it doesn't matter to me. If I really need money. I can always enter a tournament. Or maybe start my own Dojo."
Bang grinned at that idea. He suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Goku. Since you are looking to enter a tournament. I might have the solution."
"You have," said Goku with a smile.
"Yes. You see, the Hero association announced the start of a brand new tournament. It is called the Iron Fist tournament."
"Oh, I forgot about that," said Tatsumaki. "We had a meeting about that a few weeks ago."
Genos looked thoughtful. "I don't remember that. It must have been when I was busy."
The cyborg suddenly remembered. "Oh, that's right. I was busy doing Master Saitama's shopping that day. That stupid stalker and flasher speed o sound Sonic was also there."
Saitama looked annoyed. "What, Sonic? Did he want to fight me again?"
"Yes," said Genos with a nod. "He first rudely interrupted my shopping. And he demanded to know where you lived. Luckily I managed to lose him when Puri puri prisoner arrived on the scene."
Tatsumaki shivered when she heard that freak's name. She could never deal with that guy's antics.
"Well, anyway," said Bang with a cough. "As I was saying. This tournament has been made possible by Agoni. The man who also created the Hero Association. Any contender may participate. May they be a hero, a martial artist, or even an ordinary person."
Goku grinned. "Sounds like a lot of fun."
Saitama looked intrigued. "Huh, if Goku is planning to enter that tournament," thought the bald hero with an exciting grin. "Then this maybe be worth my time." It's not that the bald hero had anything better to do. Besides, Goku was the first person who had ever caught his punch. Sure, It was only one of his normal punches. But the fact he did it with such ease made the hero excited.
"By the way, Bang. Is there any prize money you can win in this tournament," asked Goku curiously?
"Mmmm, as I recall the winner gets around 30 million yen. And a huge supply of food is given to the runner-up. I think there was a third prize also. But unfortunately, I can't remember what that was."
"30 MILLION YEN," screamed Saitama in shock. "Alright," said the bald hero with a grin. "Genos, I am going to enter that tournament."
The cyborg nodded. "Very well master. If you compete, I shall enter as well. I will do my best to get that second or third prize."
The esper snorted. "In your dreams, Cyborg," said Tatsumaki with a grin.
Goku chuckled. "Well, you all seem motivated. Bang, when and where does this tournament start?"
"The Iron Fist tournament begins in four weeks. It starts around 10 am in C-City."
The Saiyan from Earth nodded. He began to levitate off the ground.
"Great. Now, for those who are still interested in learning how to use ki. Meet me tomorrow at my home. You all remember where I live, right?"
They all nodded.
Goku waved one more time. "See you then." The Saiyan powered up and flew with amazing speeds towards his home.
Saitama looked with calculated eyes at Goku's disappearing form. He clenched his fists. "When that fateful day comes. I hope you won't disappoint me, Son Goku," thought the bald hero with a serious look.
Goku was levitating in a meditated stance above the huge lake where he usually hunts for fish. His Super Saiyan aura surrounded his entire body. The Saiyan from Earth was trying to combine his Super Saiyan transformation with his ultra instinct technique.
His blond hair began to flicker. A small hint of silver began to appear and mix with his Super Saiyan aura. His blond hair gained silver streaks. And when Goku opened his blue eyes, you could see the edges of his irises had turned silver.
The Saiyan looked at his appearance from the surface of the lake.
Huh, not a bad look, said the Saiyan with a grin.
Goku could tell that using his ultra instinct technique with his transformations made them a lot stronger. He wondered if using his MUI on his god transformations was possible. Using Mui with his normal transformations wasn't that easy to pull off. It took many hardships and errors in the beginning. Although his transformations gained a huge power boost. Using Mui on his base form felt just the same as using his ultra instinct when he first awoke it during the tournament of power. A lot stronger of course. Using it with his Super Saiyan was a different story. The technique gave his transformation an incredible boost in strength and speed. He should probably master this transformation first before using it on Ssj2.
Goku suddenly felt four, no wait five ki signatures entering the forest where he lived.
"Strange? How come there are five signatures?"
Goku sensed that the fifth signature felt familiar. "Huh, weird. This person has almost the same signature as Tatsu- Chan."
Then Goku suddenly sensed a six signature following the group. Who the hell was that?
"Oh well, I guess I will find out later."
Goku went inside his cabin to change into a different outfit. This one was a bit smelly from training, after all.
His new outfit was one he made during his travels through space. Light-Blue martial arts pants and a forest-green vest that was held together with a green/brown belt. The belt on the front had a buckle with a light-purple logo on it. He wore a green band around his upper right arm. And dark-purple wristbands. His boots were green in color. A red line ran through the middle and the bottom of his left boot. While a blue line did the same on his left. The topside of his boots was patterned with Orange triangles, as was the bottom of his dogi. On the lower-left side of his dogi were strange markings stitched on. The one in the middle looked to be a misformed blue star. Three small blue dots were centered around the star. One on the right. The left. And above. And on the lower-right side. There looked to be a red pattern of a fearsome crimson dragon.
(AF outfit. There are so many outfits of this online. I just picked the coolest one in my opinion. Although, the red dragon is my idea. Google it if you want to know what it looks like. I don't think it will be that hard to find.)
Goku suddenly heard the familiar voice of Saitama outside.
"I told you a million times already. I'm not going to join your group."
Then our hero heard Genos voice.
"You heard master's answer. Stop bugging him about it."
"Cmon now, no need to be so rude. I was only asking. Besides, joining me and my group comes with a lot of benefits," said an unfamiliar female voice.
Tatsumaki voice was heard. "You should just ditch that bunch of losers. They will only hold you back. I have told you this many times before, Fubuki."
"So, Fubuki was her name," thought Goku.
"Onee San, I won't ditch my friends. They give me strength in battle."
Ah, so that's why the energy felt so familiar. It was Tatsumaki's sister.
"Besides, I can't rise to the top as you can. I'm not as strong as you."
"Then train your powers more. If you would just train yourself more. You could easily become S-Class like me."
Fubuki pouted. "Why do you care what I do? You didn't even show up yesterday."
Tatsumaki gave her a sad look. "It's not my fault, Fubuki. It was Hq. I had to stop a threat. I'm sorry, okay? I promise next time we will go on a shopping trip."
Fubuki snorted. "Yeah, right. I believe that when I see it."
"Now, now you two," said the voice of Bang. "No need to argue. You two are siblings after all."
Saitama looked confused at, Genos. "Don't most siblings argue all the time? I know I did with my brother when I was young."
Genos looked surprised at his master. "You have a sibling, master?"
Saitama nodded. "Yeah, well technically I also have a sister. But she was only ten when I last saw her. And I haven't seen any of them since I left.
"Why don't you see them anymore," asked Tatsumaki curiously.
"Meh, It would be too awkward to go back home now. I got into an argument with my parents about school. I dropped out of college and they didn't like my decision. I left my parent's house when I was about Genos's age. I did all kinds of jobs to get by for a few years. But I decided to quit and train to become a hero instead. After I saved some kid from a crab monster."
The other heroes looked surprised.
"You saved a kid from a crab monster," said Bang curious. "When was this exactly?"
"Mmm, about three years ago, I guess. Why?"
Tatsumaki looked at Saitama with a thoughtful look. "How did this kid look like?"
"Mmm, well I do remember the kid had a large chin."
The heroes looked shocked.
"Wait, are you certain master?"
"Yeah," said Saitama confused. "Why do you act so shocked? It was just a random kid I saved."
"You moron," said Tatsumaki. "You didn't save a random kid. You saved the grandson of Agoni. The person who founded Hero Association."
"Huh, I did?"
"Yes," said Bang who was also surprised. "In fact, you're the main reason why Agoni created the Hero Association in the first place. He did it not only to make an organization to protect humanity from monsters. But he also wanted to find the person who saved his grandson and thank him."
Saitama scratched his head. "Well, it's not like I was hiding or something. I was just busy with my training. Heck, I didn't even know that Hero Association existed until I met Genos."
Fubuki frowned. "It's really strange. I mean, in those three years. You might think that somebody recognized you by now? Any bystander who witnessed the whole thing."
Saitama shrugged his shoulders. "Well, there might have been a couple of bystanders. But I doubt they would remember anything. They were in shock and quite scared."
"Still," Said Fubuki in deep thought. "I find it quite strange. You aren't exactly easy to forget. With that bald head and that stupid look on your face."
Tatsumaki laughed at her sister's words.
"WELL, I'M SORRY FOR BEING BALD AND FOR LOOKING DUMB," yelled Saitama towards the Esper. "YOU ARE REALLY RUDE. YOU ARE ALMOST AS BAD AS YOUR SISTER. FOR YOUR INFORMATION I ONCE HAD HAIR. IT'S NOT MY FAULT IT FELL OFF."
Genos started to raise his hand towards the Esper.
"You have some nerve for insulting master's lack of hair. I don't care if you are the top B-Class Hero or the sister of Tornado. You better apologize before I erase you from existence."
Fubuki began to get scared of the Cyborg.
Tatsumaki glared at Genos. "If you dare to hurt my sister you piece of scrap metal. Then I hope you are prepared to face the consequences." A green aura began to surround the Esper.
Genos glared back. "As long as your sister apologizes I will not hurt her."
Fubuki began to bow. "I'm sorry for insulting you like that. I didn't mean to."
Saitama sighed. His anger disappeared. "Fine, I forgive you. And, Genos, please stop pointing your cannons towards Fubuki."
Genos nodded. "Very well, Master Saitama."
Fubuki sighed in relief. "Um, I'm sorry again. I really didn't mean to insult you. I guess sometimes I don't think that my words or actions may hurt someone."
"It's fine," said Saitama with a smile. "At least you apologized immediately. Unlike your sister."
Fubuki chuckled. "Yes, my sister can be quite stubborn sometimes. Say, are you really sure you don't want to join the Blizzard Bunch? I might find a way to help you get your hair back."
Saitama chuckled. "You really won't give up, do you? Sorry, but I want to become S- Class on my own. As for my hair, it may grow back any day now thanks to the help of, Goku."
Fubuki looked confused. "Goku? Who is that?"
"That would be me," said a voice.
Tatsumaki smiled. "Goku-Kun. It's so good to see you again. I really love your new outfit."
"Goku-Kun," thought Fubuki surprised. "Since when does my sister call someone with such affection?"
Goku smiled. "Thanks, Tatsu-Chan."
Fubuki was shocked. Wait, her sister never allows anyone to call her in such a manner. Fubuki had a sly smile on her face.
"It looks like my big sister found someone who piqued her interest."
The Esper gave the man a look from top to bottom. She smirked. He certainly was handsome. And those muscles are certainly a pleasant look to the eyes. The Esper decided to introduce herself.
"Hello, there. It's nice to meet you. My name is Fubuki. And I'm Tatsumaki's younger sister."
Goku smiled. "Hey, nice to meet you too. So you are Tatsu-Chan's sister? Did you also come here to learn ki?"
Fubuki looked confused. "Ki? What is that?"
Tatsumaki sighed. "I didn't know she was going to be here, Goku Kun. She came here together with Genos and Saitama. She wants Saitama to join her hero group called the Blizzard Bunch. But even after denying her proposal. She didn't give up and decided to follow him and tag along."
Bang chuckled. "Miss Fubuki is certainly determined."
Fubuki had a proud look on her face.
"Of course. Every hero who makes to the top ten in B-Class deserves to be in my group. And he is quite strong. He dit defeat my Group easily. I wanted to fight him also to test him further. But he already walked away since he said he had an appointment. Though, I didn't knew that my sister, Silver Fang, and the Demon Cyborg would be here also."
Goku chuckled. "Well, Fubuki-Chan."
Fubuki gained a slight blush by the nickname.
Tatsumaki frowned. She didn't like Goku-Kun calling her sister that.
"I promised to learn Tatsu-Chan and the rest of the group how to control their energy."
"And what is that exactly," said Fubuki a bit interested.
"Ki or energy is an intangible energy inside the human body. If you learn to unlock it you'll be able to learn all sorts of different techniques and attacks. You'll be even able to sense the strength of an individual."
Fubuki and even the rest of the group looked surprised at that. That would certainly be a handy skill to have.
"Are there any other skills you can learn," asked Fubuki curiously?
Goku nodded. "Yes, but before that."
Goku suddenly had serious look on his face.
"You can come out now. I know you are there."
The others were on guard immediately. Was someone else there?
Suddenly a voice was heard. "Well, well. I am certainly surprised you could sense my presence."
Saitama and Genos sighed.
"Oh no, not him again," said Saitama in annoyance.
A person who looked to be dressed like a ninja suddenly appeared in front of the group.
Genos glared at individual. "You filthy stalker. How many times does master Saitama has to defeat you to take a hint."
"Filthy," thought Goku confused. He didn't look like he needed a bath.
The man glared. Stop calling me a stalker you stupid piece of junk. And I never give up fighting Saitama until I defeat him. So stay out of my way.
Genos glared. "You are not worthy of challenging master. You have to defeat me first, you filthy flasher."
The other heroes frowned in disgust. This guy sounded a lot like that weirdo Puri puri prisoner.
"You," said the ninja with a laughing tone. "What can a piece of scrap metal hope to achieve against a great Shinobi like me? Honestly. Are you that willing to die?" "Besides," said the ninja with a chuckle. "You ran away the last time we fought when Puri puri prisoner showed up."
Genos took on a fighting pose. "Your overconfidence in your own abilities will be your downfall. Besides, I didn't run away. I was doing grocery shopping for Master Saitama. That was my first priority."
"So be it," said the Shinobi with a death stare. "Then you will die."
But before any of the two moved. Goku intervened.
"Hey, take your fight somewhere else. This is my home. And the last forest in the remaining area. I won't let you two fight here and destroy it with your attacks."
The Shinobi glared at Goku. "Stay out of this monkey man. I don't care about this forest. All I care about is fighting Saitama."
The ninja gained a psychotic look. "AND ANYONE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY WILL BE DESTROYED!"
With incredible speed. The man began to rush toward Genos. Ready to cut the Cyborg in half.
But right before the ninja could strike he stopped in his tracks. His face was in agony and he began to cough up a lot of saliva and blood.
Goku was standing in front of him with his fist deeply lodged into his stomach.
Nobody but Saitama saw him move.
Fubuki looked in shock and amazement. Who was this guy?
Saitama smirked. "Damm, Goku is fast." His body began to boil with excitement.
Tatsumaki and Bang were amazed by Goku's speed. And he was only in his base form. How fast and strong would Goku be when he uses one of his transformations?
The Ninja fell to his knees. "Damm, you," said the man in pain. He was never struck with such power before. Not even Saitama's punches hurt him this bad. And what made it worse was that he didn't even see him move. He was like Saitama.
Goku sighed. "Sorry, but you left me no choice. Now, I think it's best you leave right now. You won't be able to fight with those injuries."
The monkey man was right. That attack seriously damaged him. It was best to retreat for now.
The ninja slowly stood up. Y-you, said the ninja with harsh breaths. W-what is y-your name.
"Who me," asked Goku confused. "My name is Son Goku."
"Son Goku," said the ninja with a determined glare. "My name is Speed o Sound Sonic. And I declare you my second obstacle to overcome. I will train to get even stronger than I am today. And I will not only defeat you. But Saitama as well."
Goku chuckled. "Well, Sonic. I wish you the best of luck with your training. And if you really want to fight me or Saitama. There is a Tournament coming up in four weeks. It will be held in C-City at 10 am."
Sonic frowned but nodded.
Goku then threw something at Sonic that he took from his pocket.
Sonic caught it. "What is this supposed to be?"
"Training weights. It's about ten tons."
The others looked shocked. Except for Saitama. Who looked confused. "Why would he give training weights to Sonic?"
Sonic was amazed by the amount. How could anyone wear this much weight?
The Shinobi smirked. "Are you sure you want to give me this? I might surpass you and Saitama."
Goku chuckled. "I doubt that. But yeah, I'm sure."
Sonic glared at Goku. Did this monkey think he couldn't handle the weight? "I'll show him."
The Shinobi vanished from the forest.
Goku sighed. That Sonic guy had potential. But just training in those weights won't make him reach his or Saitama's level. Unless he also manages to somehow remove his limiters. It certainly would make him a lot stronger though. But without Ki, he won't able to handle all of that weight. The human body can only endure so much. Oh, well. I guess we will find out in a month how much stronger this guy will become.
Goku turned toward the group.
"Hey Goku," said Saitama confused. "Why did you give those training to Sonic?"
Goku shrugged his shoulders. "Meh, he looks to have some potential to get stronger. So I thought to give him something to help him."
Saitama accepted Goku's answer.
"Now then, said Goku with a grin. Are you all ready to learn how to unlock your Ki?"
The heroes nodded. Even Fubuki.
Goku smirked. "Great. Let the tortu-I mean training begin."
Everyone except Saitama swallowed nervously. What kind of mess did they get themselves into.
