CHAPTER 2

Goku strode over to Sasuke with a confused look on his face. "I suddenly heard a loud explosion outside my house, so I came here to check what the heck had just happened…" Goku then introduced with a smile, "As for who I am, my name is Son Goku! What's your name?"

"That's none of your business." Sasuke answered rudely while holding his right arm which was slightly damaged due to the use of curse mark level 2. "What is this place?"

Goku blinked in confusion. "This is Mount Paozu, where I live with my family."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, baffled. "Mount Paozu? I have never heard of that name before. How did me and Naruto get here?" That's when realization dawned on his face as he thought to himself, "Could it be… that when me and Naruto clashed with our ultimate techniques, the power was so great that it teleported us to a different location?"

FLASHBACK BEGINS

Naruto and Sasuke jumped from their respective places and charged towards each other.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted.

"Chidori!" Sasuke shouted.

Both ninja charge at each other with their ultimate techniques. They collide in an explosion of blue and red chakra that forms a swirling black sphere of energy. At the last moment, Sasuke chooses to punch Naruto in the chest rather than impale him with the Chidori. Likewise, Naruto only scratches Sasuke's forehead protector, disproving the Uchiha's earlier taunt about scratching his headband, minimizing the effects of the Rasengan.

The chakra sphere they had created from the clash caused some sort of white linings to spread across it. Naruto and Sasuke are left hovering within the sphere, gazing sadly at each other. A vision of a younger Sasuke and Naruto shows the two form a seal as a symbol of friendship, and they smile at each other. The bright light then slowly dissipates and as it fades away.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Sasuke gritted his teeth in frustration. "D-Damn it… That could possibly explain why we got here… Looks like I won't be able to go to Orochimaru unless I figure out the way back!"

The sound of groaning was heard. Naruto, who was on the ground near Sasuke, slowly opened his eyes and saw the sunlight above hitting his face. Sasuke eyed Naruto and thought to himself, "Damn it… Naruto's awake… Things just got complicated…"

Goku knelt besides Naruto and stared at his face. "Hey there, you okay?"

While Naruto's body was still on the ground, he stared at Goku groggily before asking, "Who… are you?" He then got up on his butt, as Goku stood up and let his hand out towards the Uzumaki. Perplexed, the Jinchuriki decided to take Goku's hand, and using his support, managed to stand back to his feet.

Suddenly, Naruto widened his eyes in shock. "Wait… Where's Sasuke?!" he frantically looked around his surroundings until he spotted his friend right next to him. "Sasuke!"

"Woah, easy there! Don't get into a fight here!" Goku placed his hands in between Naruto and Sasuke, trying to calm the situation down.

Naruto looked once again at Goku and questioned, "Eh? Who are you?"

Goku smiled. "My name is Goku. What's your name?"

Naruto faced his body towards Goku and introduced, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

Goku directed his gaze towards Sasuke, as the Uchiha answered hesitantly, "My name is… Sasuke Uchiha."

Goku grinned. "Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha? Those are awesome sounding names! What happened here, guys?"

Naruto widened his eyes in shock as he suddenly remembered about their fight from earlier, "Oh, right! I was trying to get Sasuke back to the village! And we were fighting, and—"

"We got teleported to a different location…" Sasuke interrupted.

Naruto turned around to face his best friend. "What? What do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed? Look around you."

Naruto glanced around his surroundings, and widened his eyes slightly in surprise. "Wait a minute… Why are we in a completely different place?"

"I'm not entirely sure… But it looks like earlier when we clashed with our ultimate techniques, the Chakra levels were so great, that it might have sent us here by accident."

"You guys were fighting earlier? Is that why there was an explosion just now?" Goku was in awe.

Sasuke stared at Goku with a serious look on his face. "Yeah… Are you a ninja?"

"A ninja? Well, I'm more of a martial artist."

Naruto looked at Goku and asked, "Goku, do you know how to get back to the leaf village?"

"The Leaf Village?" Goku repeated, confused.

Sasuke gritted his teeth in irritation. "Naruto… I'm not going back to the Leaf Village no matter what."

Naruto raised his eyes comically at Sasuke and argued, "I told you I would take your ass back to the village, even if it meant breaking all of your bones."

Sasuke scoffed, grabbing Naruto's collar. "Don't get cocky. Clearly in our battle just now, I was able to defeat you."

Naruto growled, grabbing Sasuke's collar as well "Well, I'm still standing. And as long as I'm standing, I'll do everything I can to take you back to the village!"

Goku rubbed his back head and chuckled. "Man… these guys are funny…" he then decided to ask the ninjas, "What is this Leaf Village anyway?"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at Goku, and left each other's collars, and the former asked with a confused look on his face. "Wait a minute, you don't know what the Leaf Village is? Have you been living under a rock?"

"Is that a place I'm supposed to know about?" Goku placed his hand on his chin, and tilted his head slightly to the left.

"It's one of the five great villages!"

Sasuke widened his eyes in shock. "Could it be… We probably are in a very far away place where the people here don't know about the five great nations…"

"W-What?!" Naruto was shocked. "Then how are we going to get back to the Leaf Village?"

Goku smiled while placing his fists on his hips. "Why don't you guys come over to my house? You guys can explain everything that has happened so far, and maybe I might be able to help you find your village."

"Alright… it looks like I don't have much of a choice anyway…" Sasuke grumbled, walking past Goku and towards his house.

"Oye! Wait up, Sasuke!" Naruto ran over to Sasuke's side.

Later - Inside Goku's house - Ten Minutes Later

"...And that's what happened." Sasuke had just finished explaining to Goku everything that had conspired between Naruto and him. Naruto and Sasuke were currently sitting on chairs next to a dining table, with Goku sitting across them. Chi-Chi and Gohan were also sitting near Goku, with Gohan slightly scared.

"I see… So basically, you guys got into some conflict, had a battle, and because of your power, you were accidentally teleported here? You guys must be really strong!" Goku said.

"And now you want to find the way back to your village?" Chi-Chi asked.

Naruto nodded. "That's right. But we don't know how to get back there."

Goku smiled. "I think I know someone who might be able to help!"

"R-Really?" Naruto was surprised.

Goku nodded and continued to smile. "Yeah! I have an old friend named Bulma, and she is a brilliant scientist. I'm actually going to go meet her and a few other friends today on an island. If I take you guys with me to the island, then maybe she will be able to help you guys out!"

"R-Really?! That would be great!" Naruto said exuberantly.

Sasuke thought to himself. "Looks like I can't go to Orochimaru anymore after all… I have no choice but to return back to the Leaf Village."

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to introduce my family. This is my wife Chi-Chi, and this is my son Gohan." Goku introduced, pointing at his family members one by one.

Naruto noticed something wiggling behind Gohan's back, and he raised his eyes comically. "W-Wait a minute! Is that a tail?!"

Gohan got off his chair and bowed. "Hello, my name is Gohan. It's nice to meet you." he didn't seem scared anymore after realizing Naruto and Sasuke were not a threat.

Goku chuckled. "Oh yeah. When I was a kid, I had a tail too. However, it got cut off a long time ago. But my son has inherited my tail."

"Wow…" Naruto was surprised. "You're an interesting kid, Gohan."

Sasuke stood up from his chair, causing the chair he was sitting on to slide back slightly. "Alright… We should get going and meet Bulma."

Naruto looked at Sasuke while still sitting on his chair with a surprised look on his face. "Sasuke?"

Chi-Chi smiled. "I think Sasuke's right. But don't you think you guys should rest a bit first? You guys seem a little hurt from your last battle."

Sasuke scoffed. "It's fine, this is nothi—"

The sound of a stomach grumbling was heard, and Sasuke stayed quiet for a moment. Naruto's stomach also began to grumble, as the Uzumaki chuckled and said, "Looks like we both are hungry…"

Chi-Chi stood up from her chair. "Then you boys stay here! I'll make you both some food!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in irritation. "Look, I don't need to—"

"Chi-Chi's food is amazing! You should stay here for a bit and try it, before we leave for Kame House." Goku insisted.

"Kame House?" Naruto said, confused.

Goku nodded with a smile. "Yeah! It's the island I was talking about. It's the place where I was earlier trained by my Master. Bulma will also be meeting us there."

Sasuke sighed and sat down on his chair. "I guess I'll have something to eat… It will help me recover a bit of my strength."

After a while, Chi-Chi prepared a delicious meal, and served it to Naruto, Sasuke, Goku, and Gohan. The food looked amazing, and Naruto began to eat his food, along with Goku and Gohan. Sasuke was hesitant at first, but decided to take a bit of some sashimi. Upon chewing and tasting it, he widened his eyes slightly. "This food actually tastes really good… This is the best food I've had so far…"

"Wow! This tastes really good! However, it's still not as great as Ichiraku's Ramen!" Naruto thought to himself while enjoying the food.

Gohan was eating his food as well with neat table manners using chopsticks. He would slowly eat his rice, while Goku simply chewed, gobbled, and ate his food fast.

"MORE!" Naruto and Sasuke shouted simultaneously, extending their hands ahead of them into the air, indicating that they wanted more rounds of food in their rice bowls.

Goku stared at Naruto and Sasuke whilst chuckling and thought to himself, "Looks like they were really hungry after all."

Ten Minutes Later - Outside Goku's House - With Naruto, Sasuke, Goku, Gohan, and Chi-Chi

Once Naruto and the others had finished their scrumptious meal, the group headed outside Goku's house and stood near a small overpass with a stream of water flowing underneath it. Sasuke stared at his hand for a moment while thinking to himself, "Thanks to eating Chi-Chi's meal, I was able to get my strength back…"

"So how far is Kame House anyway?" Naruto wondered.

Goku smiled. "It's a bit far away, but we can get there pretty fast with Nimbus."

Naruto squinted at Goku, baffled. "Eh? Nimbus? What is that?"

Goku chuckled and said, "It'd be better if I just showed you what I'm talking about." He then turned to his left, cupped his hand on his mouth without covering it fully, and called out, "Nimbus!"

At first, nothing happened for the first few seconds, which made Sasuke raise an eyebrow in doubt. However, that's when he noticed something from the corner of his eye. Looking to his right, he noticed something approaching them from the sky. This caused Sasuke to widen his eyes slightly. "What… is that? Something's coming!"

It was not long before a yellow cloud zoomed towards Goku from the sky, before stopping next to him. Naruto freaked out comically. "Wait a minute… Is that a FLYING CLOUD?!

Sasuke was perplexed as well, as he stared at the cloud with slight caution. Noticing the confused looks on the ninjas' faces, Goku decided to explain with a smile, "This is flying nimbus. It was given to me by my master when I was younger. Only those of a pure heart can ride it." He then jumped on the cloud and stood on it with ease, shocking Naruto and Sasuke. "See?"

Naruto raised his eyes comically again. "How does that even work?!"

Goku got off the cloud and landed on the ground before facing Naruto and asking, "Why don't you get on it and try it out?"

Naruto stared at the cloud for a moment, before grinning widely. "I get it! This must be some sort of special jutsu, right? Man! I should try it out then!" he hopped onto the cloud, only to fall through it, landing face first on the ground. "Yow! How did that not work?!"

"I guess you're not pure of heart, then." Sasuke said, placing his hands in his pocket.

Naruto got up quickly and faced his best friend, pointing a finger at him. "Why don't you get on it, then?!"

Sasuke scowled and looked away. "I don't want to."

Goku chuckled sheepishly and rubbed his back head. "I guess that means I'd have to take you guys there myself. You'll have to hold onto me while I fly with Nimbus. Sounds good?"

Sasuke walked towards Goku and let his hands out of his pockets. "What choice do we have? We need to get back."

Naruto grinned. "Yeah, Sakura-chan and the others are waiting for us!"

"By the way, Naruto…" Goku began. "What is this 'jutsu' you mentioned earlier?"

Naruto stared at Goku, confused. "What do you mean? Are you saying you don't know what Chakra is?"

"Chakra? Is that some kind of food?"

"W-What?! No! Have you really been living under a rock this whole time? With chakra, we can perform special techniques!"

Goku rubbed his back head. "I don't know anything about this Chakra, but you did mention it can perform special techniques. Is it like Ki?"

"Ki? What's that?"

Goku blinked. "You don't know what Ki is? Let me show you…" he then glanced around his surroundings until he found a nearby boulder. Facing the boulder which was around 15 feet away, Goku placed his palm forward, before firing a Ki beam from his palm, directing it towards the boulder.

The boulder exploded upon getting into contact with the Ki beam, causing a cloud of dust to rise up along with splinters of rocks to fall on the ground. The boulder was no longer there, since it had been destroyed.

"W-What?!" Sasuke was shocked.

Naruto was in awe. "Woah! What exactly was that? That was so cool!"

"Daddy! That was amazing!" Gohan complimented with a smile.

As Chi-Chi continued to watch the scene unfold, Goku faced the ninjas and explained, "Ki exists in every living being. If you're able to draw it out and learn how to utilize it, you'll be able to surpass your normal human limitation and gain immense strength and speed."

"How does one use Ki?" Naruto asked curiously.

Goku smiled and placed his palms cupped together with some distance between them in front of his chest and said, "It requires some practice, but you'll have to draw your Ki out from the middle of your chest." He then materialized a glowing Ki orb between his palm.

Naruto was in awe. "Woah! That's super cool!"

Sasuke thought to himself while staring at the Ki orb. "It somewhat looks like Chakra in a way…"

The Ki orb slowly faded away, and Goku let his hands fall down besides his waist. "If you want, I could teach you guys how to utilize your Ki someday." He then carried Gohan in his arms, and hopped on the yellow cloud before glancing behind his shoulder at Naruto and Sasuke. "Alright, I need you guys to hold onto my back so that you don't fall off. Remember to hold tight!"

Once Naruto and Sasuke latched onto Goku's back, Chi-Chi said, "Take care, you guys! Hope you guys will have fun at Kame House!"

"Bye mommy!" Gohan said with a smile.

Goku chuckled and looked at Chi-Chi. "Thanks, Chi-Chi. We'll be back later!" and with that, Goku looked ahead, before the cloud took off into the sky.

In the sky - with Naruto, Sasuke, Goku, and Gohan

"Woohoo!" Goku cheered, the cloud zooming through the sky at an incredible speed. Naruto and Sasuke had to wrap their arms around Goku's neck in order to not fall off. While Goku held his son in his arms, the Saiyan glanced behind his shoulder at the ninjas and said with a smile, "Hold on tight, or you'll fall off!"

Sasuke was shocked, staring at the ground far below him from the sky. "S-Such speed. This flying cloud is so fast! I didn't expect something like this to even exist!"

Meanwhile, Naruto screamed for dear life while tightly keeping his arms wrapped around Goku's neck. "Oye! Goku! Slow down, will you?!"

Goku chuckled sheepishly and looked ahead. "Sorry about that. I'll slow down a bit." and with that, the cloud slowed down to a manageable speed while still being a bit fast. Goku continued, "We should be at Kame House soon. I'm sure Bulma will be able to help you guys."

"I love flying on Nimbus!" Gohan laughed happily.

Naruto and Sasuke's bodies were flailing in the air. The only thing that kept them latched onto Goku were their arms around his neck, to ensure they wouldn't fall down to their deaths. Naruto glanced at Goku and asked, "You said you got this cloud from your master? He must be really strong, huh?"

Goku grinned. "He sure is! I think Master Roshi might be interested in training you two once he gets to know your power."

Before Naruto could say another word, the cloud picked up the pace a bit in order to reach Kame House.

In a Field

The flamingos were feeding on grass. A fatigued farmer let out a deep sigh and rested his hat on the back compartment of his old, beat up, blue pickup truck. He took a look around his farm and said, "I need a breather."

Something falling from the sky caught the farmer's attention.

A meteor-like thing hurtled overhead the farmer and crashed a little further in his farm, causing debris of clouds to form. The farmer could simply gape in utter shock.

He stared at the debris of clouds and said incredulously, "W-What was that just now?! A meteor?! A UFO?!"

After a few seconds of composing himself, he hopped into his pickup truck and started it. "I better go check it out." As he sped towards the crash spot.

After reaching upon the crash site, he hopped out of his vehicle and trotted over to the edge of the crater.

"I-Incredible!" The farmer managed to stammer. He peered down and saw a beat-up metallic pod with a red window, which confused the farmer. "That's no meteor. What is it?" He wondered.

He was pondering about the mysterious object when the door of the pod suddenly opened, and a black figure jumped in the air and hovered, facing the terrified farmer.

The mysterious man stepped on the edge of the crater in front of the farmer and looked at him with a scowl on his face. He didn't seem to be pleased with seeing the farmer.

The farmer couldn't help maintaining his composure. He pointed his gun at the mysterious man. "W-Who are you? C-C-Come no closer!" He stammered.

The mysterious man had extremely long, spiky black hair, brown and black coloured Battle Armor with navy blue boots, armoured gloves, a navy-blue chest protector, orange thigh and crotch pads that matched his shoulder pads and red bands around his right thigh and bicep. He wore black short shorts under his armour, as well as an unfamiliar device attached to his left eye.

The mysterious man pressed a button on the device, as it blinked. It let out a beep and displayed a deciphered code on the screen of the device.

The man scoffed at the farmer. "You only have a power level of five. As expected, this planet is filled with weaklings." As he took a step forward, provoking the farmer to bring it on.

The farmer nearly jumped out of his skin (metaphorically) and backed away. He threatened with the pointed gun, "If you take o-one more step, I'll shoot you! I mean it!"

The man chuckled with glee. "Oh, then why don't you shoot me right here?" He said provokingly, as he continued to stride over to the scared-stiffened farmer.

The farmer panicked and fired his gun at the man, but to his astonishment, the man shot his hand in front of his face in one instant and caught the bullet in mid-air, with a smirk on his face. He held the bullet between his thumb and index finger.

The farmer's world shattered. He'd just caught a bullet! Just who is this person? How will he get out of this predicament?

The farmer shook himself from his stupor and made an attempt to flee. Before the farmer could turn around, the man flicked the bullet straight through the farmer's body, hitting the truck, totaling it and killing him, or so he thought.

The man stared at the deceased farmer and said, "It's a race of utter weaklings. You are no match for the elite saiyan warrior, Raditz."

Just then the device attached to his left eye beeped and began to read something, causing him to look towards the mountains far off to the west in a contemplating manner. "Hmm... A life form...of great power...distance 4880..." as he took off flying in the direction of the reading he just received. He muttered under his breath. "Kakarot."

Later – In a wasteland

Piccolo was standing on a plateau overlooking the desert wasteland. He was tall, had green skin, pointed ears, fangs, and no eyebrows. His muscles were pink in color and outlined with red. Piccolo wore a purple gi, with a light blue obi (fabric belt) tied around his waist. He also wore a turban, shoulder-padded armor covered with a white cape, and brown, pointy shoes.

He was thinking about his future conquest of earth and defeating Goku when he suddenly turned around in shock and fear after sensing someone coming.

He thought to himself, "I sense great power…and it's coming closer," as he began to brace himself, "Is it Son Goku?"

He gasped when he saw Raditz flying towards him, "No!"

Piccolo held his ground as he faced Raditz, who had just landed in front of him and snarled.

Raditz looked at Piccolo and frowned, "Meh…You're not Kakarrot."

Piccolo scoffed. "Who are you, and what business do you have with me?"

Raditz chuckled, "Heh…Business with you…None."

Piccolo became irritated as he held out his fist, "Then why did you come here!? Do you have a death wish or something!?"

Raditz only smirked as he checked his device, "Quite the feisty one now, aren't we?" as the device beep and numbers appeared on the screen, "Hmph…Power level 332…Not bad, but still nowhere near my level."

Piccolo began to lose his cool and got into his fighting stance and shouted, "Just who do you think you are!? Do you have any idea who you're speaking to!?"

Raditz just kept his cool and smirked, "Does it look like I care?"

Piccolo began to feel nervous as he bared his fangs and began to sweat, and thought, "Does he really think that he's that powerful?"

Then, Piccolo shot out his arm, firing a strong yellow blast at Raditz head on, "HYAA!"

Raditz continued to smirk as he let the blast hit him dead on, creating a billowing cloud of dust.

Piccolo smiled and thought, "That got him."

His smile faded and was replaced with shock when the dust cleared, revealing Raditz who had not moved a muscle.

"An impressive display…OF DUST! HA-HA-HA!" laughed Raditz, "Is that all you can do?"

Piccolo gasped in utter shock, "I-I put all I had into that. You should be nothing right now!"

Raditz then put up his right hand and said, "Now, it's my turn. Let me show you what REAL power is."

Piccolo was frozen in fear as Raditz charged an energy ball in his hand, but before he did anything with it, Raditz's device blinked and beeped, gaining his attention and causing him to stop.

"There seems to be another greater power level on my scouter," as Raditz levitated into the sky, leaving a gawking Piccolo on the ground. Raditz looked around until the scouter beeped again, "Aha, a distance of 12909, in that direction," as he turned east, "It's the biggest on this planet. It has to be Kakarrot this time."

Raditz then flew away in the direction of the power level, leaving Piccolo to fall to his knees from shock and breathing heavily. Still sweating, Piccolo gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it…I was petrified…I couldn't move!"

At Kame House – With Master Roshi and Krillin

A yellow aircraft landed on the island, and a woman got out off it and went towards the door. The woman had blue hair and wore a lab coat. At the door, she said, "Good afternoon! Long time no see!" she greeted with a hand greeting gesture.

Inside the house a bald midget, along with an old man, stared at the woman in joy.

"Bulma!" Krillin said happily.

Krillin is a bald midget who wore an orange Gi. Whereas Master Roshi was a the master of Goku and Krillin. He wore casual clothing and had a white beard and moustache, and also wore red framed sunglasses.

Bulma walked in with her hands in her coat pockets. "You said to come visit, so I came!"

Roshi had a beer in his hand as he stood up and laughed. "Well, well, it's really been a long time, hasn't it?"

Bulma glanced around the house and commented, "This house hasn't changed at all, hasn't it?"

"You sure have been pretty mean to us. Unless someone tells you to come over, you never come," Roshi said and took a chug of his beer, when he suddenly flinched as soon as Bulma suddenly got in front of him with a gift in her hand.

"Here!" Bulma presented a gift to Roshi, startling the old man and causing the beer to spill a bit on the ground. "I bought some manju beans as a gift!"

There was a large turtle in the room as well, and he looked at the gift happily.

Roshi chuckled and rubbed his backhead. "You didn't need to go through all that trouble!" he then brought his face close to Bulma's chest. "If you'd let me touch your boobs a little, I'd-" as he reached his hand towards her chest and was about to touch her.

Bulma got creeped out and immediately whacked Roshi with the present on his head before he could touch her.

Due to being whacked, the glass of beer slipped from Roshi's hand, causing the glass to fall on his head, as well as the drink. The old man held his head in pain and scowled. "A-As always, you don't appreciate my gags!"

Bulma frowned. "As usual, you're still a lecherous old man!"

Krillin picked up the present, balanced it on his finger, and walked over to Bulma, asking, "By the way, Bulma, what's going on with Yamcha?"

Bulma looked forward and scowled. "Yamcha? That idiot?" as she crossed her arms and clenched on her coat. "Why would I know what's going on with him?! I'm so mad at him that I didn't even tell him everyone was getting here together today!" she then let her hands down and said, "Let's have a blast without him here!"

Roshi sighed. "You guys sure do fight a lot."

"That's for sure," Krillin agreed.

Bulma turned her attention towards Krillin and asked, "Where's Launch, by the way?"

"She went chasing after Tien about 5 years ago," Krillin answered as he turned around and went near the table. He then opened the present and drooled at the manju beans before taking a bite. The turtle came near Krillin as well to stare at the manju beans and eat them.

MEANWHILE WITH RADITZ

Dashing through the air, Raditz's scouter beeped and gave a reading. He smirked. "The target is moving at a high velocity. You're mine now, Kakarrot!"

MEANWHILE WITH GOKU

"There! There's Master Roshi's House!" Goku pointed over at the island below them as the cloud began to descend near it. "Let's go and see them!"

Goku hopped off the cloud while still holding his son in his hands, as Naruto and Sasuke got off the Saiyan and landed on the shore.

"Is this where we will meet Bulma?" Naruto asked curiously.

Goku nodded and walked towards the door. "Yahoo!"

Inside the house, Bulma turned towards the source of the voice, as Krillin chocked on some of banju beans he was eating when he heard his best friend's voice...

"T-That voice…!" Bulma said as he ran towards the door and opened it, with Krillin reaching nearby as well. "Goku!" both said in unison.

Roshi came outside as well as Goku greeted them with a hand greeting gesture while still holding his son with his other hand. "Yo!"

Naruto and Sasuke walked near Goku's side as the Uchiha stared at Bulma. "That woman is probably Bulma…"

Bulma stared at Gohan, Naruto, and Sasuke in confusion. ""Huh? What's up with these kids?"

"Are you babysitting them for someone?" Krillin asked.

Naruto frowned. "Baby… sitting…?"

Goku looked at Gohan and responded, "He's my son."

"WHAT?!" Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi said in collective shock. "Goku's son?!" the old man said incredulously.

"And on top of that… three children?! But those two kids look like they're at least teenagers!" Krillin said, shocked.

Goku blinked for a moment, before laughing. "Oh! No, no, no! I have only one son, and I'm holding him in my arms right now. These two guys on my sides are actually people I met today who were lost."

"Lost?" Bulma said, confused.

Goku nodded. "Yeah. They lost their way home and needed your help to get back home. Maybe an aircraft or something. So, I remembered you and thought you would be able to help them."

Bulma stared at Naruto and Sasuke for a moment before saying, "I see… Well, of course I'll be able to help! What are your names, by the way?"

Naruto smiled. "Naruto Uzumaki!"

Sasuke stared at Bulma for a moment before introducing, "Sasuke Uchiha."

"Well, Naruto and Sasuke, where do you guys live? Do you know the place you live in?" Bulma asked.

"It's called Konoha. It's a village," Sasuke answered as he placed his hands in his pocket.

Bulma smiled. "I might be able to find a village named like that on my world map. Then I will program an aircraft that will take you to the location of your village."

"You can do that?" Naruto asked happily.

Bulma nodded and thumped her chest proudly. "Of course! I can help you! Leave it to me! Nice to meet you two!"

Sasuke sighed with relief. He may not be able to go to Orochimaru, but at least he wasn't lost anymore… Speaking of which, the Uchiha realized that he would probably be kept under custody or surveillance once he got back to the village.

However… he decided to train with Goku for a bit first and learn a thing or two… Maybe Goku is even stronger than Orochimaru? He also had a feeling that Naruto also wanted to train under Goku as well. However, right now, he couldn't let the blond ninja surpass him…

Naruto grinned as Goku asked, "By the way, is it really that strange I have a son?" he placed his son down and said, "Go on, introduce yourself!"

Gohan was shy at first, but then he bowed in front of Roshi, Krillin, and Bulma. "Good afternoon,"

Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi bowed and greeted back. "Yes, good afternoon."

Roshi stood upright, but then suddenly noticed that Bulma and Krillin were still bowing down, so he bowed down once again. "Good afternoon!"

Goku smiled. "His name is Son Gohan!"

Suddenly, Gohan noticed a pair of eyes on him, as he looked to his left and saw a turtle staring at him happily.

"Son Gohan? Oh, I see! You named him after your late Grandpa!" Roshi noticed.

"Yup!" Goku placed his hands on his hips.

Roshi scratched his bald head and admitted. "Still, I admit that this is a surprise. To think that you'd come here with your son…"

The turtle got closer to Gohan, scaring the boy a bit as the young half Saiyan clung a bit to his dad's leg. Bulma walked forward towards Gohan and crouched. "Gohan-kun, how old are you?"

Gohan began counting on his fingers before answering, "I'm 4 years old!"

Bulma smiled, crossing her arms and placing it on her bent knees, resting her head on her forearms. "Wow… You've got some good manners, considering you're the child of Goku." She patted gohan's hat.

Goku laughed, "Chi-Chi's fussy about that."

Bulma stared at Goku for a moment before turning her attention back at Gohan, asking the kid, "Hey, Gohan, what do you want to become when you grow up?"

"A great scholar," Gohan responded.

Bulma laid her hands down with a surprised look on her face. "A-A scholar? Wow…"

The turtle inched closer to Gohan, causing the boy to get scared a little more as he tugged onto his father's leg. During the spur of this moment, Bulma noticed a tail wiggling behind Gohan. "A tail?"

"Yeah, just like I had before, right?" Goku answered as he stared at the tail.

Naruto scratched his head. "Yeah, I didn't get it either… I wonder how the kid has a tail too, but Goku said it was inherited since he used to have a tail too."

"Y-You're right!" Krillin said as Gohan was busy patting and smiling at the turtle he now just made friends with.

Bulma suddenly jumped up next to Goku and asked him nervously, "H-Hey… Does anything particular happen to your boy that is… strange…?" her eyes moved towards her the Saiyan at the last part.

"Strange?" Goku asked, confused.

Roshi suddenly sped up next to Goku's side and asked, "F-For example... does he undergo any changes when the moon is full?"

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged looks. "What?"

"Changes when the moon is full? Well, we all go to sleep early and all…" Goku responded as he stared at the sky.

Roshi and Bulma turned their attention towards Gohan who was now riding on the turtle, as Goku suddenly asked, "How come? What makes you ask that?"

Roshi and Bulma freaked out as the former waved his hands in front of Goku and assured, "I-It's nothing! Nothing to worry about!" while Bulma quietly placed her hands in her pockets and looked away nervously. Krillin did the same as he looked at a different direction, pretending to be lost in thought.

"What's so scary about the full moon?" Naruto suddenly asked, catching everyone's attention. "Why are you guys so freaked out about a full moon?"

"F-Freaked out…? I… well… uhh…" Bulma stammered.

Krillin decided to change the topic by asking, "Hey, Goku, is your boy strong like you?"

Goku turned around and stared at Gohan with folded arms. "I'm not sure… I think he has quite a bit of power… but Chi-Chi gets mad whenever I try to train him…"

Krillin frowned. "How come? That's such a waste, isn't it?"

"I know, right? She says the world is at peace now, and therefore there's no need for Gohan to train, and we don't need martial arts anymore." Goku answered. "She also said that since the world is at peace, Gohan needs to study instead."

Roshi laughed. "So that tomboy of a girl turned out to be quite an educated minded mother, huh?"

Bulma laughed and walked near Gohan, staring at his hat. "Say, is that thing on top of Gohan's hat a Dragon Ball?"

"Yeah, it's Four Star Dragon Ball. It's a keepsake for my grandpa, ya know? I found it and stuck it on Gohan's hat. I also found the Three Star Ball and the Six Star Ball as well. I kept those at home.

Bulma smiled. "That sure takes me back, the Dragon balls."

"What are Dragon Balls?" Naruto asked.

Goku turned his attention towards Naruto and responded, "Dragon Balls are these mystical balls that are usually scattered all around the world. Find all seven dragon balls, and you can summon a dragon named Shenron. That dragon will be able to grant any wish you desire!"

Naruto and Sasuke went silent for a moment before the former suddenly said, "W-What?"

Bulma laughed. "I know it may be hard to believe, but me and Goku have gone on adventures before and used the Dragon Balls. The Dragon Balls can grant any wish, even reviving people from the dead!"

Sasuke widened his eyes in shock. "N-No way, you're kidding!"

"That has to be some sort of joke! No way something like that exists." Naruto grumbled, folding his arms.

Sasuke scoffed. "For once, I agree with Naruto…"

Suddenly, Goku looked around his surroundings, alarmed. "W-What is that?!"

"What's wrong?" Roshi asked with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong, Goku?" Naruto asked, worried.

Goku stared at the sky and responded. "Someone… someone's coming this way…"

"What?" Bulma stared at the sky as well, looking for anyone in sight.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, baffled.

"Someone's coming?" Krillin stared at the sky as well.

Goku nodded, "I can sense someone with a high Ki coming towards this island… I feel amazing power! What is this?"

Suddenly, a speck was visible in the sky as Sasuke suddenly noticed it too. "Over there!"

"It's here!" Goku warned.

Naruto finally looked up at the sky to see what was everyone talking about, and widened his eyes in shock. Someone was flying towards the island! "W-What the?!"

"W-What is that?" Krillin wondered as he shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands a bit.

Roshi broke a sweat and thought to himself, "What is this ferocious bloodlust I'm sensing?"

Finally, a person landed on the island in front of group. It was Raditz.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this…?" Sasuke thought to himself as he shifted into his battle stance.

Naruto shifted uncomfortably and wondered, "W-Who's he?"

Raditz's scouter scanned Goku's power level, until it beeped. "So, we finally meet. You've grown, huh?"

To be continued...
