A/N ~ I've heard some complaints about the strength of Goku as compared to the shinobi in Naruto, and how he'd probably mop the floor with everyone regardless of his age. In any general debate, I'd probably agree, but in order keep this story entertaining; I've decided to keep the power levels modest and even throughout the universe. It'd be no fun if I let the universe's best run amok among these shinobi's, and it's not like they're regular humans, so I think they can realistically hold their own. Stay wAvy, kids.

It's A Small World

K had been sitting in bed all day, like Tsunade had told him to do. It pained him mentally to sit and watch the world move from his bed, but it also pained him physically to walk. He was better than he was before, and for that he's grateful.

Tsunade and Shizune had left to handle business, which the two kumo-nin assumed as gambling. They were making money off of them, and K was sure they wanted to waste it in the casino.

That left only Goku to watch over his sensei, and he was bored to say the least. He had his hand pressed against his cheek, as he was slowly falling asleep. K didn't have much to say, and didn't really care to talk to the boy.

The room was dead silent.

A fly landed on top of Goku's nose and he shot up out of his seat and nearly crashed through the roof, "WHAT WAS THAT!?" He tumbled back onto the ground and got into a defensive stance.

"Don't be foolish, Goku," with a simple flick of his finger; a compressed blast of air shot across the room and killed the fly immediately. The man sighed, "Now quiet down, I'm trying to rest."

"This is what you call rest?" Goku walked up to the end of the man's bed and leaned over. "You haven't shut your eyes once. You just sit up and stare at shit all day."

K raised his finger to correct Goku, "It's very rare a shinobi gets time like this during a mission." The stoic man leaned back against the headboard and looked up toward the roof, "After coming so close to death, the last thing on my mind is sleep." He shot a glance at Goku after saying that.

The boy raised a curious brow, "That's true, you did come close to dying," Goku tapped his chin. "In fact, I felt you die, how the hell did you make it out of that alive?"

The jounin folded his arms, "A very special technique." This answer didn't please Goku in the slightest, and he sucked his teeth. K shrugged his shoulders and continued to stare at Goku. He would at least give him the name, "It's called the Kaio-ken (World King Fist)."

"Eh, that doesn't explain a damn thing, K-sensei," The alien rolled his eyes and pouted his lip. He understood there were certain techniques that could dodge death, but from what he had heard; the Kaio-ken was just a strength buffer. "How the hell did you avoid dying because the Kaio-ken?"

K pushed himself up to sit up straight. A small sigh escaped his lips, "The Kaio-ken multiplies your natural energy in exchange for a heartbeat," He explained to his student. K could tell the boy was struggling to understand, "It was just my heart skipping a beat once Kaio-ken activated."

"So you didn't die?"

"Technically, yes," K was slowly sliding under his covers. "But I'm alive right now, so, no." He wrapped himself in the blanket and shut his eyes. The man had eased his conscious somewhat, and thought he could sleep for once. "Now run along, Goku, I must get my rest."

"You get pretty talkative when you're sleepy, K," Goku joked, but one last stern glance from his sensei made him jump and go in another room.

Until Tsunade and Shizune returned, he was on K-watch.

. . .

A man sat on a slab of rock with his legs crossed. He rested his cheek in his hand as he listened to the woman before him ramble on and on about what she saw. He then held his hand out, "Wait, wait, so this kid's a genin?" The woman nodded, "And him and his sensei are a two man squad that are already leaving their country? That's unheard of."

"This whole situation is unheard of," Tsunade hissed through her teeth. "The boy's not normal at all, and neither is his sensei."

"I've heard about the boy, what of his sensei?" Jiraiya questioned, as he straightened out his stature. He was interested again.

"This man's a monster, he can boost his power level beyond normal limits, and no it's not the eight gates. The drawbacks aren't as fatal, if there are any," Tsunade explained to Jiraiya, who was quietly taking down notes as she talked. "The man's an emotionless, cold, spiritually dead person, and the only reason he had any damage done to his body was because of the chain of explosions he was unfortunate enough to be caught in."

The man was writing as fast as he could, "Tsunade-hime, slow down!"

"He's kind of handsome too," Shizune didn't fail to add, but shut her lips when Tsunade glared at her.

Jiraiya had finished writing in his notepad, "Anything else you want to add, ladies?" He looked up and raised his brow with a smirk on his face.

"He's a manipulative rat, and a compulsive liar too," Tsunade threw one last thing in and then rolled her eyes.

"Hm," Jiraiya looked over his notes on Goku and K. He couldn't hold back his smile, he had a master piece on his hands. "So you have a handsome devil with no outward emotion, and an upbeat alien with a monkey tail who's kind of pervert?" They both nodded at Jiraiya, and then their jaws dropped.

"Wait, Goku is an alien!?" Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya by his shirt and pulled him into her face. "What the hell do you mean he's an alien!?"

"Oops, wasn't supposed to let that slip," Jiraiya lightly tugged on his collar with his freehand. His slip up in information wasn't an accident, he felt like Tsunade had a right to know. "Yes, he's an alien. Just imagine it now, Tales of the Great Ape: Son Goku. It's going to be a smash hit, especially with this K character playing a supporting role. I'm going to be ri-" Jiraiya's head was smacked into rock he was sitting on.

He slowly fell to the ground and Tsunade shook her aching hand after punching him. She gritted her teeth and pressed her heel onto Jiraiya's chest, "You tell me everything you know about Goku right now, and don't skip a damn detail." The woman looked at Jiraiya, and he mouthed the words 'or what?' She lifted her foot from his chest, "Or my whole foot is going to be so far up your ass, you'll be able to see my painted toes in yo-"

"Ok, calm down. I'll spill the beans," Jiraiya smiled at Tsunade and she stepped away from him. A feeling of relief washed over him, and he felt safe enough to sit back on his slab of rock. "Now what I say stays between us, and doesn't end up in K's ears, or Goku's, because as far as I know; he has no clue."

Both women nodded their heads in agreement.

"And I wouldn't want the infamous K to rip your innards from your stomach and make Shizune eat them," Both women looked at Jiraiya in horror, "What? I'm just kidding, girls, calm down. He doesn't do that type of stuff." He offered a weak smile.

"Oh, thank god," Shizune had her hand over her heart. "His name is the Limitless K by the way."

"Infamous K, Immortal K, K The Soulless.. I like my names better, Shizune," The woman rolled her eyes, and he grinned. "I'm a writer you know."

"Could you two stop fucking around!?" Tsunade stomped her foot against the ground and Jiraiya could have sworn the Earth shook. Both Jiraiya and Shizune tensed up, and the man began to tell the story of Goku's origins, or at least what he knew.

"About ten years ago, a ship crash landed in Kumogakure's outskirts," He tried to paint the picture with his words, as well as goofy hand gestures. "A man named Son Gohan discovered it, and found a baby boy housed within; the man named him Goku. The boy has had powerful reserves since the day he was born."

"That doesn't really explain the tail," Shizune furrowed her brow while listening.

"It's relative to his race," Jiraiya held his index finger up and explained. "There are more out there like Goku, but he was raised like a shinobi, and it shows. Son Gohan wanted him to be the boy that changed the world for the better, and his village wanted him to be a nuke that could wipe out entire armies."

"Like a jinchuuriki?" Tsunade asked with a raised brow.

"Yup, like a jinchuuriki, except Goku was born this way. That's what so scary about this, and the fact that there's more is even worse." Jiraiya closed his eyes for a moment as he took a deep breath, "Goku is strong, but the ones that crash landed not too far from here are even stronger. They landed in Tsuchi no Kuni about five years ago, and have been working under the Tsuchikage as a pseudo-genin squad ever since."

"Iwa has three of them?" Tsunade's eyes widened, as the thought of three well trained Goku's was stuck on her brain. The boy was dangerous in his own right, and with the proper training he'd be a beast, but it seems like someone beat him to it. It didn't help that they had landed in the lap of one of the most power hungry men in the world, "That old geezer is going to turn this world upside down, he already has two jinchuuriki under his belt."

Jiraiya smirked, "That's why we've gotta hit grandpa where it hurts, so he never has a chance to make this super army work." The man punched the air and stuck with the pose afterward, "Right in his fun parts, and we'll shut him down in an instant."

"How are we going to do that, idiot?" Tsunade knew Jiraiya had something planned, but couldn't make it out.

"We're going to turn his army against him," Jiraiya said smoothly as he folded his arms and smirked.

"What if doesn't work?" Shizune questioned the legendary ninja.

"I'm still working out the kinks, but I think it's flawless."

. . .

(Ran'un, Tobaku)

The door to their suite cracked open and the duo of shinobi stared at it until Shizune and Tsunade entered with grocery bags. K gave a slight nod, and Goku was extremely ecstatic to see the women return after being gone for hours.

He jumped up, "Shizune-chan, I think K needs to be bathed." The boy playfully plugged his nose, "He's not smelling like the best shinobi in the world right now."

"I'm fine," K knew Goku was playing around, because he was masking his scent until he could wash himself. "Don't be foolish, Goku, go and help them carry the bags." He 'shooed' the boy like a dog, and Goku did as told.

The boy was handed all of the groceries and he took them into the kitchen, while Tsunade walked over to K's bedside.

"How are you feeling, K?" Despite the strong dislike for the man, she could at least be cordial while he was paying her.

"Better," K stated simply. He looked up at her and gave her a dry nod, "Things are starting to feel normal again." He held up his hands and wiggled his fingers for demonstration, since the day before he had lost most of his feeling in his body.

Shizune strolled up to K's bed with a smile on her face, "Are you hungry, K-sama?"

"No," He pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "Goku, however, has been complaining. He wants food."

The black haired woman nodded, "I'll get right to it," She held Tonton against her chest and walked away. "Goku, get some of that chicken meat out of the bags; we're about to make dinner!"

K and Tsunade heard Goku cheer loudly from the kitchen, and that left the two of them alone in the main bedroom.

The blonde haired woman looked him over one more time and frowned lightly. She was intrigued, "You don't eat, you don't sleep, and you barely talk." K responded with a simple nod, "Are you even alive?" She asked in a half-serious tone, but the other half was hinting at a joke.

The man shrugged his shoulders and looked away from Tsunade. He knew where this conversation would end, and he didn't want to go down that road. K would respond with a quick, "Yes." While she seemed strong on the outside, K knew he could break her down to her very core, and he had no interest in doing it right now.

The woman had to bite her lip before she raised her voice with K. His conversation skills were so dry, "Well I suggest you eat something." She grabbed the man's hand and coated it in green chakra, all she got was a blank stare for the action. "You're recovery is going smoothly, but it wouldn't hurt if you had some of the herbal tea I bought while I was out."

"As you wish," K looked away from Tsunade and toward the kitchen.

It was followed by an awkward silence, as Tsunade released his hand and let hers fall to her side. "Um… okay," The woman pushed herself off of the bed and went to sit at the table. She had a stack of medical notes about K and Goku, which the latter had gotten grease from food on. "Shizune, brew up some tea for me and K while you're at it."

While Tsunade read over medical notes, and started skimming through a few books; the food had been prepared, and a cup of hot tea was placed before her. Goku sat down at the table with a huge plate of Chicken Teriyaki made by him and Shizune, "Hey, kid." The boy looked at her with his mouth open, "Get any of that damn sauce on my papers again, and you're going to be worse off than K right now, understand?"

Goku nodded his head and immediately started to dig into the plate before him.

Shizune took the other cup of tea to K, "Please, sip slow. It's very hot." The man just nodded his head, and she went back to the kitchen to get Goku something to drink. She returned with a tall glass of water for the boy to wash his food down with, and she was surprised to see he was done eating already.

"More please!" Goku held up his plate to Shizune and her jaw slacked.

"O-Of course, Goku," Shizune returned to the kitchen.

'This kid eats like a fucking monster,' Tsunade watched the whole thing in disgust. The boy barely chewed his food and nearly swallowed the pieces of chicken whole. "Do you have any home training, boy?"

"What's that?" Goku asked as he slammed his fork and knife against the table in excitement when Shizune put another plate in front of him.

"Something your mother should have taught you a long time ago!" The woman slammed her book against the table.

"I think Mabui-chan taught me that," He said in between bites, "But what's it worth if I'm never at home? I'm a shinobi!"

"You should also be a gentlemen," Tsunade said through her teeth, as the sound of Goku smacking lips as he ate hurt her ears.

"Goku," The malevolent aura Tsunade felt the other day creeped up her spine, and K's peaceful tea drinking was being interrupted by Goku's animal-like eating. He wasn't happy.

Tsunade balled up her fist while staring at Goku, "If I hear your lips smack against each other one more time, I'll tear them off, and that's not a threat." She wasn't happy with him either.

The food Goku was chewing on literally fell from his mouth and back onto his plate, "What is it then?"

"It's a promise," K and Tsunade said in unison, as both adults glared at Goku.

Shizune stood in the doorway of the room with a platter of food, frozen. Goku was stuck sitting there with his fork in his hand, and the room was dead for a moment.

K taking a sip of his tea broke the silence, "Good, now carry on."

. . .

(Tobaku)

Kurotsuchi had hers hands placed on her hips while she took wide steps through Tobaku. Their collections today had been slim to say the least, and she knew the Tsuchikage would be dissatisfied with the results. Her face cringed at the thought of him yelling at her, and they approached the last casino they had yet to collect from. Hopefully this one made bank, "Yo, Raditz, go in there and get the money." She sighed and leaned against the wall.

"No," He stated flatly, as he folded his arms and frowned at the older shinobi. They had been collecting money from casinos all day, and from what he could see; they were less than fruitful in their endeavors. The boy strolled up to Kurotsuchi and nearly growled, "This type of grunt work is beneath me, you go in there and get the damned money yourself."

For the whole day, she had been dealing with Raditz's pride and attitude. She was sick of it, he was just a kid, and had no reason to speak his superior like that. The girl was quick to grab him by his collar and pull him in, "Listen to me, kid. I've told you a million times, and I'll tell you a million times more if I have to you; you are a nobody here, understand?" She was expecting a scared nod of the head, but Raditz responded differently.

He threw his head into hers with a lot of force, and she instantly let go of the boy. There was a tiny smidge of blood coming from both of their heads, but Raditz didn't seem affected by the pain. Kurotsuchi screamed out while holding her head, "Here's what you need to understand, girl," He pointed at her and grit his teeth. "Our circumstances are merely a formality, I outclass you in every way possible, and I think you should start respecting that from now on."

"You fucking runt!" The girl yelled out, but didn't attack. "You're nothing but a fucking test tube baby gone wrong! You're nobody!"

Raditz's face twisted into a scowl, "Another thing for you to wrap your thick skull around, girl," The boy pointed toward the sky now. "I am not one of this world's sorry experiments, I am one of the mightiest warriors ever birthed in this universe. This sad planet's sad excuse of a warrior pales in comparison to my race."

"Then why don't you take your ass back to wherever you came from?" Kurotsuchi spat out in disgust.

"I have business here I need to handle," Raditz replied calmly. Everything she would throw at him, he would meet with a finely thought out retort. "But don't get me mistaken, all it takes is a flick of the wrist, and this world's doomed. His army would tear this planet to shreds," He opened his palm and released a blast of ki that flew away at high speeds. It was followed by a prideful laugh, and Kurotsuchi standing there in shock.

"What the hell did you just do?" She moved her hands from head and stared at her palms. The simple thought of more beings like Raditz made her heart race. "A-And there's more of you?"

"HA! Of course there's more like me, hell some are even stronger!" He was laughing like a mad man, and everyone in the street simply looked over. He didn't want the people being scared of him, just Kurotsuchi. He had nearly scared her to death with a simple blast of energy. The boy lowered his voice once again to not startle civilians, "So unless you want some new holes to excrete your filthy waste out of, I suggest you go get that money yourself."

Kurotsuchi stood there in silence. Had not only her life, but her whole planet been threatened by a teenage boy? And did she actually believe it? The girl pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration before turning around and going into the casino like Raditz suggested she do. It was very rare that she tucked her tail between her legs and followed orders like that, but these were special circumstances.

Raditz chose to wait outside for her to return. The boy leaned against the wall, unintelligibly mumbling to himself about his dislike for 'humans.' He got a few concerned looks, but nothing he should be worried about. Raditz rested his head against the wall of the casino and tried to stay patient. Hopefully she would come out with the money they needed, and they could go home.

After thirty minutes went by, it was safe to say his patience had been tested. The boy was about to charge into the casino and pull the kunoichi out by her hair, but she was lucky enough to come out the front of the casino before he exploded. She had a small sack of cash and a frown on her face, "What's the problem, girl?" He looked up with a furrowed brow. "Don't tell me we came all this way for chump change."

She nodded her head and then shook it in disappointment, "This whole town is full of excuses. One of the employees told me a Kumogakure genin with a tail ran them for most of their profits, so we're looking at an additional 10,000 ryo to what we already had." Kurotsuchi smacked her face with her own palm, "At this rate, Iwagakure's going to be broke forever, and the Daiymo's going to end up outsourcing all of our work to fucking Konoha like everyone else."

Raditz was quick to disregard everything she said and focused on, "A tail, you say?" He took a step closer to the girl and grabbed her by her collar. "What does this tail look like, give me details."

"A fucking monkey tail or something, why?" She ripped his hand off of her collar and threw the bag of money over her shoulder.

The boy's eyes went wide, "A monkey tail!?" Raditz shook his head, "There's no way! We must investigate!"

"We don't have the time," Kurotsuchi walked away from the casino cooly and wasn't surprised when Raditz stood there like a stubborn child. She turned slightly, "They said he was from Kumo, and we're expecting some Kumo-nin to be coming to Iwa in a few days, it's probably one of them. Just hold your horses, we can't have you digging your head in foreign affairs. You're too young." Even though he made previous threats, she still had a mission, and it was now over. They had no reason to be in Tobaku, "My grandfather wouldn't appreciate us fucking around either."

Raditz groaned as he walked after Kurotsuchi and folded his arms. Being told he was too young was frustrating, but he didn't want to deal with the Tsuchikage. He was one of the few men in the universe that he actually respected, and somewhat feared because of what he was capable of.

He had no intentions on being on his bad side.

. . .

(Location Unknown)

The loud sound of alarms going off filled the entire base, and a red light flashed non-stop. Warriors charged through the base to find the root of the problem. The alarm going off was followed by the sound of an intercom clicking on, and a voice speaking into the microphone, "Find the problem and exterminate it immediately," A slight chuckle escaped the lips of the voice, "Unless you want die by my hands."

"So much for the quiet entrance I had hoped for," A masked man stood tall and brushed burnt flakes off of his clothing. He wore a black long sleeve that covered his neck and chin, as well as black pants, sandals, and white stirrups. The man's mask only had one eye-hole, and it blazed a brilliant color of red, as his eye was in its sharingan state. At his feet was a completely burned black cloak with red clouds on it. "We should get moving, Zetsu."

A half-black, half-white figure rose from the ground as if it were intangible with a wild grin plastered on his face, "Yes we should, about 50 of those things are charging down here as we speak."

"Hm, you have some nerve to call them things," The masked man looked toward the door to the room that they were currently in. He then looked at the door of the room and cracked his knuckles, "You survey the entire base, find the leader of this army, and report anything interesting to me." The man waved Zetsu off with his hand and the creature smiled.

He began to sink into the ground, "Have fun!" The plant-like creature waved off to the masked man before completely disappearing.

The masked man sucked his teeth and rolled his visible eye. The door was instantly kicked in, flying right through him, and smashing into the wall. He waved politely to the growing crowd in the doorway, "No need to be hostile, gentlemen. I come in peace," The man proceeded to hold his hands up in the air to show he meant no harm.

"You sneak into our base and expect us to believe that shit!?" A large purple creature yelled at the man, he had attena stemming from his head that fell over his face like strands of hair. He pointed at the masked shinobi and yelled, "KILL HIM!"

Many creatures tore through the everything that stood in their way just to get to the man. They came at him from every side of the room, destroying everything in their path. He quickly looked around at his attackers, before flying through hand seals and pressing his hands against the ground.

They very ground they stood on began to uproot and shoot out spikes that impaled all of the attackers that were unfortunate enough to be near him. Blood sprayed and splattered all across the room, and the masked man stood in the middle of it without a scratch on him. Similar to his partner, he sunk into the ground with great ease, and left the remaining survivor who commanded his subordinates to attack standing in horror.

He shakily tried to get as far away from the doorway as he could, but backed into the wall. His jaw had been dropped this entire time, and when he saw more support running down the hall of the base; he wasn't sure he could exactly explain what he had just witnessed. The creature was sweating profusely and at a loss for words.

A short and round green creature with four eyes ran up to the shocked man and raised a brow, "W-What happened?" He asked, as he commanded his squad to come a halt. "Where's the intruder!?"

"H-he killed everyone and then dis-disappeared!" The purple creature was close to sobbing after being unable to unsee what he had just witnessed. It was the most gruesome murder he had seen, and he'd seen some things during his days.

"You have to be the saddest excuse of a captain this universe has ever seen!" The green one yelled and pointed at the purple man. He grit his teeth and tried to feel for the intruder's energy, and nothing returned. "And you let the damned intruder get away!"

A humanoid figure came out head first from the roof and only revealed his torso while he phased through the roof. The masked man once again held up his hands to show he was peaceful, but it didn't mean much to the warriors, "Don't be so harsh on him, I didn't escape." He tried to save the underlings reputation, but it was probably over for that. "Focus your energy on me instead."

As instructed, everyone present sent blasts of energy at the masked man, and were very upset when there was no dead body, but a brand new hole in the roof of their military base. The small green creature that was in charge ran up to the hole and stared through it, "That's impossible! Where'd he g-"

The masked man materialized behind him and was quicker than he had expected, "Boo." He said in a dry voice. His fingers were placed on top of one of its four eyes, and the creature's reaction surprised the masked man.

Faster than his eye could keep up with, everything within his vicinity had been frozen still. His thoughts were frozen after that, and the only thing that could move beyond that point was the green creature being assaulted. He quickly backed away from the masked man with fear written all over his face, he stumbled and fell onto the ground, "What the hell is he!?" The creature shook his head and decided to move into his offense, and charged up a blast of energy before flinging it right at the man.

Time had unfrozen and the creature looked on in horror when his blast sailed right through the man, and crashed into the purple man he was yelling at not too long ago. The man's single visible Sharingan eye tomoe spun and he didn't look pleased, "Alien or not, that certainly wasn't normal. I know your fat ass isn't that quick." His sharingan flared and the green creature dropped to the ground in an instant. "A piece of advice to the rest of you, don't make eye contact with me unless you want to end up like your friend." He walked up to the body of the twitching green alien and crouched down.

The rest of the soldiers were frozen in horror. Their mission leader was rendered useless in an instant, and he was supposed to be the strongest next to their actual leader on the planet. A visual distortion spun outward from the masked man's eye and absorbed the green alien's body, and once it ended; he had completely vanished. The masked man stood up once more and looked through the soldiers, most of them heeding to his advice, and the ones that didn't dropped to the ground immediately.

"Now, I have no intention of killing the rest of you, unless you don't want to cooperate," He shot one last glare through the crowd, and could literally feel fear coming from their body. This was fun, "Tell me where you leader is or I'll kill every single last one of you."

He was scared to death, but he wouldn't rat out his almighty leader. The alien slowly turned his head and closed his eyes, "Fuck you!" Everyone followed his lead and yelled the obscenity at him. They were still scared, but they feared the voice that boomed over the intercom earlier even more.

"Okay, fine by me," The man was just about to jump into battle with the warriors, but once Zetsu sprout up from the ground and pushed him back; he actually stopped. "What did you find?"

"Some things we should look into later, but I think I found their leader," He grinned and cackled crazily.

"Really?"

Zetsu nodded, "After tearing through a majority of his forces posted on this planet, he's pretty much expecting you at this point," He couldn't hold back his laugh when he twisted his body to look at the soldiers that had survived the assault from the masked man. "You can stop harassing these sorry grunts and get moving, he's north of here. He's located in the biggest building."

"Very well, I appreciate the help, Zetsu." The man disappeared in a spatial distortion and left Zetsu with the soldiers.

"Keep it moving fellas, there's nothing to see here!" He slowly started to sink back into the ground, "Just be happy you're alive!"
