The Dangerous Doctor ~ 14

After returning to Iwagakure with Dr. Briefs, they decided to break apart from each other for the day. Goku wanted to get rest, and K needed to think things over. The Tsuchikage had other matters to attend to, and the Briefs family needed to get their equipment back to their lab.

Dr. Briefs had personally taken a liking to Goku, and invited him to spend the day with him, while K and the Tsuchikage could meet on more professional terms. The boy was given a full tour of Capsule Corporations and allowed to ride an ATV all through the building. It was safe to say he was having a good time during his visit.

"Goku, it's time for lunch," Dr. Briefs called out from the kitchen.

The doctor nearly jumped out of his seat and screamed like a child when the wall of his kitchen came crashing down, and Goku was sitting on his ATV covered in debris. Despite destroying the Brief's kitchen wall, he was smiling, as he wiped away the dust and debris from his hair, "Did you say lunch!?"

A blonde haired woman was just as startled as her husband, dropping the platter of food onto the floor. Her eyes didn't open through it all, and she hurriedly tried to put the lunch she prepared back onto the plate. A small smile appeared on her face, looking up at the boy, "Goku-chan! You scared us," She playfully frowned, not being able to stay mad at Goku.

Bulma entered the kitchen and sat down at the table, looking over at Goku with a frown, "Why didn't you invite his sensei instead?" She pouted and rested her cheek in her hand.

"He had important business to tend to," Dr. Briefs was reading through sets of papers while his family was eating lunch.

"And Goku-chan is such a pleasure to have around," Mrs. Briefs walked over to Goku and pinched his cheeks, "Come eat your lunch, baby," She was talking in childish voice when she spoke to him.

The boy blushed lightly, jumping off of the ATV and sat down at the table with the rest of the Briefs family. Mrs. Briefs had made stacked sandwiches for her family and her visitor, and Goku wasted no time digging into the meal like an animal.

Bulma took slow bites, staring at Goku, "Why not eat like a normal person, the food's not going anywhere," Her comment went unnoticed by Goku, who continued to rip through his meal, "This is disgusting."

Mrs. Briefs slapped her daughter on the wrist and frowned, "He's just a boy, don't judge him." She defended Goku without hesitation and patted him on the head. "Eat as much as you want to, Goku-chan."

"You'll always be welcome here, Goku-kun," Dr. Briefs offered his fist to Goku, who looked up from his food, and bumped fists with the older man. He smiled and Goku continued stuffing sandwiches down his throat, "It's not every day someone as talented as Goku comes walking into your house."

"Aw thanks-" No one was paying attention to Goku once a woman walked right into the kitchen like it was her own house. The boy had never seen her before, and he wasn't sure she was apart of their family. He jumped up, ready to fight, but Bulma pulled him back into his seat.

"I beg to differ, daddy," The woman had blonde hair that looked similar to Mrs. Briefs. She offered a light smile to the family and pulled up a chair to sit with them. Tights hadn't noticed how hard they were staring at her once she had walked in, "Do I really look that different?"

"Kami," Mrs. Briefs had her hand over her forehead, and she fell into her husbands arm.

"It's been a while," Bulma looked at her sister with a frown, "And to just show up randomly is kind of weird."

"I'm here on business," Tights rolled her eyes at her younger sister. She smiled at her father and he offered a frown in return, "Why's everyone acting so strange?"

"This is your first time stopping by in over five years!" Dr. Briefs slammed his fist against the table, "You can't act calm, we've been worried sick about you!"

"Being a writer is a serious profession, and I rarely get breaks," Her eyes averted to the newcomer sitting in her family's kitchen, and she smiled at him. She extended her hand over the table, "And who are you baby?"

"Son Goku," The boy shook her hand and smiled back. Despite the family drama being flung around in his face, he had no bad blood with Tights, since he had just met her, and he had already taken a liking to her. "I'm a ninja!"

"Oh, that's exciting honey, I wish I could've become a ninja like you," Tights ended up looking at her father with a slight frown. "My dad wanted me to stay home and be a scientist," She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "I didn't come here to be dramatic though, I really missed you guys."

"You only come home when you want something," Bulma furrowed her brow and folded her arms over her chest. "So go ahead and spill it, what the hell do you want?"

Goku's eyes were shifting between Bulma and Tights as the women screamed at the top of the lungs while arguing. He frowned at the sudden turn of events, and the doctor finally got up to end all of their arguing.

Despite the both of his daughters being old enough to dictate their lives, he still had to put his foot down every once and a while, "Both of you!" Tights and Bulma looked at their father with wide eyes, not hearing him raise his voice in years. He grit his teeth and pointed at the doorway, "Go to your rooms right now, I'll speak with you two later! This is not how you act when we have guests!"

Surprisingly enough, the pair of sisters left the kitchen with their heads hung low, and the doctor turned to look at Goku with a smile, as if that scene had never happened. "I apologize, Goku," He walked back to the table and picked up his wife bridal style, "How can I make it up to you?"

"More food," Goku stated flatly and honestly.

"How about I do you one better?" Dr. Briefs grinned at Goku and started walking out of the kitchen, "Follow me!"

Goku ran up to his ATV, turning it back on, and dangerously burning off from the hole he created; destroying a lot of the kitchen in the process. He slowed down once he was behind the doctor, who was leading him through him many halls, and eventually stopped in front of a single metal door.

He turned towards Goku, grasping the handle, "I want you to be the first one to see my new training room." The doctor walked inside and Goku jumped off the ATV to follow the man. The whole setup was pretty empty, and multiple screens were built into the walls. In the center of the room was a large machine that the whole room was built around. "You can sharpen your skills in here while you wait for your sensei."

The boy traced his hands across the shiny walls and smiled, "Can it teach me some jutsu?"

"It can do everything," The doctor boasted.

(Tsuchikage's Office ~ Iwagakure)

After their meeting yesterday, Onoki knew that K was expressly interested in what the money would do for the military. The profit they would make exports was obvious, and the new jobs that would arise was just as clear. Onoki thought the money would be put in good hands with Iwagakure, since he thought that his village was about to revolutionize the world, and K shouldn't have needed any more reasons or examples.

Onoki sat straight up once the aforementioned man walked into his office, as stoic as ever. He smirked at K, while interlacing his fingers and leaning forward in his seat, "Greetings, K-sama," He received a simple nod, which irritated him to no end on the inside, but his smirk never faded. "Have you thought things over?"

K sat in silence, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the Kage's desk, "I suppose so," He too intertwined his fingers while he sat and conversed with the Tsuchikage, "And I think I finally have an offer for you."

The old man couldn't fight back his smile, and was eagerly waiting to hear what the offer was, "Which is?"

The man wasted no time pulling out a scroll and setting it on the desk. A moment of silence followed after he had brought the scroll out, and he slowly looked up at the Tsuchikage, who was staring at it with an intense glare. The old man bit his lip and picked the scroll up, while K visibly smirked.

"You prepared this last night?" Onoki started unrolling the scroll, which was full of text, and his eyes instantly went to the bottom where an empty signature line was located. There was too much for him to read at that moment, which made him look up at K with suspicion.

"No, the Raikage himself wrote the original contract," K leaned in and pointed his finger around the contract that was full agreements and clauses. "However, I made some minor changes to suit our situation."

"Such as?" Onoki pulled out a pair of glasses to go over the contract, so he wouldn't miss any detail.

"Just read it."

(Capsule Corp ~ Iwagakure)

Dr. Briefs stood before Goku with a wide grin on his face, he couldn't contain his child-like excitement. He had never been strong enough to fight on the front lines, but his mind was second to none in his village, "You can learn almost anything in this room, Goku-kun!" He yelled out, as he grabbed the boy's hand and brought him up to the main control device. "Chakra control, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and so much more!"

"Wha?" Goku looked at the super computer that controlled the whole room with a puzzled expression. "So I can finally learn a jutsu outside of the basics?" He looked up at the doctor with hopeful eyes and the man nodded in return. The boy jumped up happily, clapping his hands together.

Since he had been a Genin, his training had been non-physical. Despite his sensei's dangerous reputation, all the man did to sharpen his skills was meditate, and basic chakra control techniques to keep his energy balanced. Goku felt like he was ready summon lightning and fling fireballs like it was nothing.

The doctor just wanted Goku to realize his potential, "Yes, Goku, you can." He turned around and started typing on the keyboard of the device, "You mentioned that you never learned anything outside of academy basics, correct?" Dr. Brief's head turned quickly and saw Goku nod repeatedly, "Well place your hand on the wall."

Goku waddled over to the wall and did as instructed, and the panels moved apart to reveal another screen. It scanned his hand print, "What's going on?" He looked over at Dr. Briefs with interest written all over his face, and the screen started to light up.

"Feed the mechanism a little bit of your chakra," The doctor continued typing into the device, and it sent back commands instantly.

The boy quirked his eyebrows and shrouded his hand in blue chakra, the screen began beeping rapidly, and turned orange. Goku quickly pulled his hand back and screamed, "Did I break it!?" He looked at the doctor with worried eyes, and the man just laughed.

"No, it indentified your chakra affinity," The doctor answered smoothly and looked at the screen to confirm it. "Fire is your main element, Goku-kun," He grinned at the boy and he received an eager smile in return. Dr. Briefs typed in a few more commands, "Since you've never learned about nature or shape transformation, I'll start you off with the basics before I throw you into actual jutsu."

"Eh, okay," Goku smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.

With the click of a button, an animated man appeared on each screen in the room. His true colors weren't known, only being displayed in the green hue of the computer screens. His facial features weren't very defined, simply being a floating head with pupil-less eyes, "Good morning, Goku-kun!" The startled boy jumped away from the screen defensively, "My name is Shidō! The super shinobi training system!"

"Goku, he's just an AI," The doctor laughed at the boy's fear and tried to calm him down. "He can't harm you."

"SINCE WHEN DO WALLS TALK!?" Goku was still backing away from where Shidō appeared on the screen.

Goku back into the opposite wall, and another screen popped out with Shidō's face on it. He turned around and leapt away, "I cannot harm you, Goku-kun!" The robotic voice assured the boy, "I am nothing but an artificial intelligence created by Dr. Briefs! My sole purpose in life is to teach you, Goku-kun!"

The boy playfully frowned, "I bet you say that to all the young shinobi."

"It's my job, Goku-kun!" Shidō's excited voice explained to the boy, "I understand you want to learn about the nature of fire, correct!?"

Goku nodded eagerly and smiled at Shidō, less weirded out by the concept of a talking wall, computer, or whatever Shidō happened to be. He folded his arms over each other and raised his brow, "Yeah, how the hell are you going to teach me that without any arms, legs, or just a body in general?"

Shidō couldn't control his laughter, as he promptly made a grunting noise, and mechanical arms began sprouting out from the walls all around Goku. Before they could grab the boy, they slowly retracted to where they had come from, "Don't worry about the little things, Goku-kun! Allow my words to guide you to your goals!"

The alien's skin crawled, he was sure one of the robotic hands had tickled him before creeping back into the wall. He had accepted Shidō as a cool guy before, but he was back on his questionable side, "Uh, okay, then how are we going to start?"

"Hold out your hands and generate a steady chakra flow!" Shidō instructed as he watched Goku promptly do what he was told. "When using and creating a jutsu there are two aspects! Nature transformation and shape transformation! For now I want you to focus on creating a fire in the palm of your hands!"

Goku closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He searched within his body for a warm feeling. While K had never taught him any actual jutsu, he explained every feeling and sensation to search for when he finally got to that point. At first he didn't find the feeling he was looking for, but in an instant; his hands ignited.

It was like the gates of hell had been opened, and fire shot out of his palms at an alarming rate. Goku instantly cut off the flow of chakra to his hands and stared in amazement, "I might have over did it a little bit," He looked up with a sheepish grin, and Dr. Briefs stared at him in awe.

"Excellent, Goku-kun!" Shidō exclaimed and celebratory music played from the computer.

"Wow, I could have taught myself to do that," Goku balled his hands into a fist and smiled at Shidō, and only got a smirk out of the computer AI.

"Well why didn't you!?" Shidō burst into laughter and sound of a 'ba-dum-tiss' from a drum set promptly played after he stopped laughing. Goku stared at the computer with a blank face now and Shidō couldn't help but snicker, "Anybody can shoot fire out of their hands like a flamethrower though, it's time to apply shape transformation, which might be a little harder!"

"What's a flamethrower?" Goku asked with a raised brow.

"Another lesson for another day!" Shidō was cracking himself up, "But we have to be brief because your time is limited!" Even the doctor joined in on the laughter with his creation, and the only person standing there without even the slightest smile was Goku.

He looked between Shidō and Dr. Briefs simply blinking at their slap-stick comedy session. The boy looked at the doctor, while pointing at Shidō, "You wrote all of this?" He questioned with a disappointed look on his face.

"Of course I did, Goku-kun," Dr. Briefs and Shidō hadn't stopped laughing the entire time.

"Are you ready to apply shape transformation to what you learned, Goku-kun!?" Shidō asked with excitement laced in his voice.

"Yeah, let's do it."

(Tsuchikage's Office)

Absurd, that was the only word that Onoki could manage to think of after reading over the contract K handed him. His nation would have the money to get back on their feet, but at what cost? There were many demands to be met with Kumogakure, and the Tsuchikage was far from okay with what was presented to him. The man clenched his teeth together while quietly staring at K, who's blank expression never changed the entire meeting.

The financial aid offered by Kumogakure came at no small cost. Should he sign his name at the bottom of the contract, he would be giving up a percentage of his land, profit, and military control. He was more than angry, but he covered it well with a murderous smile, "I see," Onoki mumbled quietly. "The people over in Kumo must take me for a fool," He said, slowly rising from his seat and glaring at K.

K's expression remained calm, despite Onoki being obviously angry. He shook his head slowly and looked at the Tsuchikage, "We simply have needs," K eased into his explanation, trying not to set off the infuriated kage. "We both understand that this is no small amount of money."

"I understand," Onoki's glare was fully fixated on K, "BUT MY VILLAGE AND MY PEOPLE CANNOT BE BOUGHT BY ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY!" There was no space between K and Onoki, and he was staring the Kumo Jounin right in his emotionless eyes. He knew deep down, he could put some fear into the man, "To demand multiple Kumogakure military bases in Tsuchi no Kuni, a portion of my exports, and a stake in my military power is outrageous!"

K was scared of no man, even if one of the most powerful shinobi in the world was staring right into eyes. He wouldn't back down no matter who he faced, "The Raikage is kind enough to try and pull your pitiful country from the economic recession you're experiencing, but I see your pride is too strong for you to accept such a blessing." K word's were laced venom, yet he never raised his voice, or even showed any sign of anger. "I see wisdom isn't promised with old age, for you not to realize the potential of this deal must prove me right."

The Jounin rarely went on rants, but when he did; it was to prove a point, and he was always dead set on getting under the skin of his enemy. For someone as young as him to question the Tsuchikage's authority and intelligence had surely done the trick, and if were the kind of person to smile when he was winning; he'd be smiling from cheek to cheek right now. Onoki was fuming with anger, and his killing intent was too hard to hide at this point.

"You still can be apart of a nation wide super power, with you spearheading the east, and Kumogakure controlling the west. Revenue and military power will be at an all time high," K tried to reason with the old man, but he was preaching to deaf ears at this point. "Kumogakure would support Iwa in the infancy stages right here from Tsuchi no Kuni, and we'll eventually start branching out into the inner part of the country."

"No," Onoki hissed out quietly, nearly spitting in K's face. He would admit that he had entertained the idea of an alliance with Kumogakure, but after such a confident attempt to control his nation, and his people; he had to kill any negotations between the two hidden villages. Onoki furrowed his brow, "Your attempt to come in and try to sway my opinion with money is cute, brat, but I'm not that easily bought."

"You'll surely regret this decision," K came to a stand and looked down on Onoki with a frown. "Without the money to pay the shinobi what they deserve, your power will slowly crumble, because despite what you might think; this whole world revolves around money. The ninja you think are so loyal will flee to other nations searching for work so they can provide for their family." The black haired jounin realized that the discussion was done and turned his back on the Tsuchikage, which served as the breaking point for the man, "I've said too much though."

The seasoned shinobi's face was twitching uncontrollably, and his killing intent was through the roof now, "If you think the power is leaving Iwagakure, you are gravely mistaken." Onoki explained to K in a cold tone, which made the man making his exit turn and stare at him. "I know what you're trying to pull now, K."

"What?" K asked with a raised brow, and a ghost of a smile.

"This whole meeting, the offer, the money.. it was all just attempt to put your nose in Iwagakure's business, and that..." Onoki balled up his fist and closed his eyes, he took a deep breath before pointing a shaking finger at K, "Is unforgivable, I'm afraid I can't let you leave Iwagakure."

"Or else what?"

Onoki's words were deathly serious, "You and Kumogakure's precious alien child spend the rest of your lives rotting away in prison," The old man smiled, "or die."

K didn't seem at all affected by the man's threat, "Hm, send your best."

He disappeared in his infamous crackle of electricity before Onoki or his ANBU could pounce on him.

Five ANBU members appeared the instant the man had disappeared, being to slow to catch K. The Tsuchikage was more than angry with the five standing before him, and the leader of the squad stepped forward and bowed down to Onoki. "What are our orders, Tsuchikage-sama?" The rest of the ANBU got down on one knee as well and waited for instruction.

Onoki took a deep breath and looked out toward his village, "Son Goku from Kumogakure and his sensei the Limitless K are wanted dead or alive, tonight." The man turned quickly and stared down the ANBU in his office, "Lock down the village; I don't want anybody leaving until those upstarts are imprisoned and interrogated about their true mission. K personally requested for the best to return his head back to me on a silver platter, so gather the saiyans; it's time to show them our strength."

"Yes sir," All of the ANBU said in unison before disappearing as quickly as they had came.

"After tonight, no one will question my power ever again," Onoki mused to himself as he stared at Iwagakure slowly transitioning to night time.

(Capsule Corporation)

Goku inhaled deeply and breathed out a steady stream of fire that illuminated the whole room. He couldn't hide the grin on his face, as he slowly started to master his element. It was his first day trying to expirement with the element, and according to Shidō he was a quick learner. He had even applied the shape transformation a few times, but it was easier for him to just shoot out shapeless, and destructive flames.

"Very good, Goku," Dr. Briefs face appeared on a screen, being in a different room now. He had replaced Shidō for the time being, wiping away at his blackened face, and Goku couldn't help but laugh once he saw that he had burned off the doctor's eyebrows. Even Dr. Briefs got a laugh out of it, "It looks better from here too, and not being blasted directly in my face."

"Ha, I'm sorry Doctor!" Goku bowed politely and rubbed his head with an awkward grin. His training was going well, but he still had his moments where couldn't control his flames, and the older man had seen the worst of it. It was all in good fun though, "What am I learning next, Dr. Briefs?"

"Eh, I'd rather you master the technique Shidō taught you first, because I can't risk losing my mustache next, or even worse my hair!" He burst out into laughter and touched at where his eye brows used to be. It would take some time for him to get used to his new look, "I must say, you did a good job! You burned 'em all they way down to the follicles!" Dr. Briefs didn't let his missing eyebrows get him down, and say the light of the situation.

"What can I say, I'm thorough!" Goku smiled cheekily and slowly practiced the hand seals that went with the new technique he had learned. His chakra control wasn't the best, but it was above an average Genin's, so he could thank K for that. He couldn't wait to move onto something new though.

The boy practiced by himself, going through some taijutsu, and even tried his hand at genjutsu while he waited for K to appear like he had promised. He was enjoying his stay in Iwagakure, but it had been a while since he had seen his Grandpa, or his mother. Despite all of that, he was still grateful for the new friends he had made in the short week he was away from home.

It was his first week as a shinobi, and he had already met one of the legendary sannin, the Tsuchikage, and the smartest man in all of Tsuchi no Kuni in Dr. Briefs. He would have nothing but entertaining stories to tell his friends once he returned, and it gave the boy a good feeling in his body.

He was so focused on his solo training, he hadn't noticed all of the commotion going on, on the screen that Dr. Briefs was streaming to. Goku focused for a moment, and saw the door of the room Dr. Briefs was in fly across the room and smash into the wall.

No time was wasted, and in a matter of seconds; Dr. Briefs was placed in a tight head lock in view of the camera. His assailant was the boy Goku had met the day before, Vegeta. He had an evil grin on his face, "Kakarot, surrender yourself or this old piece of work gets it!"

"Who in the world is Kakarot?" Goku asked with a furrowed brow, balling his fist up and tried to see where Vegeta was located. "Nevermind that, I'll surrender myself, just leave the Doctor alone!" He cried out and ran up to the screen to with a worried expression on his face.

Vegeta released the doctor to the ground in an instant. The man was stunned by how quickly Vegeta had gotten the drop on him, and moved through the building without being caught. The boy smiled, "Very good, give me your locatio-" The connection between the training room and Dr. Brief's office was cut off, and left Goku staring in awe.

"Goku!" A woman's voice called for him repeatedly, outside of the training room. She threw the door open and ran in, grabbing the shocked boy by his wrist, and dragged him out of the room. "We're under attack, we need to get the hell out of here!" Tights tried to pull him away, but he was stuck in the same spot.

"He's going to kill the doctor, we can't leave!" Goku's authoritative yell startled Tights, but she continued trying to drag him out of the room.

"My dad's no spring chicken, he'll be fine, now let's go!" She picked the boy up and threw him over her shoulder in a quick show of strength. Tights rushed and jumped onto the back of the ATV, which Bulma was sitting on waiting for the two of them. The older sister looked around worriedly, "Where is our mom?"

"She's with daddy," Bulma wasted no time pushing the button that started the vehicle. The trio burned away from the training room and sped through the hall ways as they tried to evacuate the large Capsule Corps. building. "They'll be alright, Tights, don't worry."

As the three tore through the building at high speeds, a menacing aura was getting stronger as they moved toward one of the many exits. Bulma's eyes were the size of saucer plates, "Oh shit," Tights and Goku looked down the hall and saw Vegeta flying through whatever was in his path to get to them. Bulma skidded to a sudden halt and turned the vehicle in the opposite direction, since she had no intentions of being caught up in Vegeta's wrath.

Tights drew her ray gun and surprised Goku, not knowing what the weapon was. She fired off a few quick beams, and Vegeta maneuvered around them with ease. Tights bit her lips and kept shooting at the boy who was only getting closer to them, "Can you make this thing go any faster?" She turned to look at Bulma, and her sister shook her head. "Fuck!"

"Hand over Kakarot right now, this game of cat and mouse is beneath me!" Vegeta shouted out as he tried to close the distance between him and the trio. He was moving impossibly fast, but dodging beams from the ray gun, and adjusting his body in mid-air slowed him down. The ATV he was chasing wasn't exactly slow either.

Goku was still thrown across the shoulder of Tights like a kid, and he frowned. He squirmed out of her grasp and stood on the back of the ATV and held onto the metal frame, "If it's me that he wants, then that's what he'll get." Goku made a single hand seal and gathered his chakra, but before his preparation could be finished; the whole building was flashing in red, and the sound of an alarm had gone off. He looked at Tights with worried eyes, "What's going on?"

"Dad just shut the building down, this is a code red," Tights explained to Goku with a small smile.

Vegeta suddenly shot forward, his raging white aura swallowing the blasts from the ray gun, and he tried to power his way to Goku. He tried to focus on the boy, but metal walls suddenly shot up from the floor, and the prince smacked into the wall like an insect. He was moving so fast that an imprint of his body could be seen on the other side.

More walls were shooting up, not even waiting for Goku and company to get out of the building. Tights and Bulma looked at each other with fear written all over their expressions, "We seriously need to get out of here!"

"Wha? What's going to happen?" Goku was equally worried about what was going on.

"This whole place is going to plunge itself underground and seal itself off," Tights explained to Goku, since she knew about the building better than anyone else, save for her father.

Goku groaned and massaged his temple, what hell had gone wrong in Iwagakure?
