CHAPTER 1
Dr. Brief held the Scouter in his hand, examining the sleek device that Bulma had retrieved from the lifeless body of Raditz. The advanced piece of alien technology felt foreign and yet somehow intriguing in his grip.
"What is this?"
Bulma adjusted her goggles, a slight smirk playing on her lips.
"Oh, that? It's called a Scouter. It's a wearable device used to measure power levels by scanning a person's ki. It consists of a coloured eyepiece and an earpiece with controls."
She pointed to the tiny buttons on the side.
"Scouters display numeric power readings, allow communication between users, and can lock onto targets for real-time updates. But they can malfunction or even explode if a target's power level rises too fast."
Dr. Brief raised an eyebrow, considering the device. He'd seen a lot in his life, but this was unlike anything from Earth's tech.
"Hmm... this could be quite useful."
He turned to his wife, Panchy, who was standing nearby with a tray.
"Honey, would you call Naruto for me? I think he'll want to take a look at this."
Panchy nodded, setting down her tray and heading off to make the call. Bulma's brow furrowed, curiosity bubbling up.
"Wait, who's Naruto?"
Dr. Brief chuckled, setting the Scouter down on his workbench.
"Naruto Namikaze. He's the Chief Operations and Technical Officer here at Capsule Corp. Brilliant mind. He's 42 now, but he's been working with me since he was 15. Took a break to pursue some research when you came on board."
He smiled at the thought of his old colleague.
"Naruto's got doctorates in bioengineering, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. Lately, he's been focused on developing a device that scans humans for viruses and pathogens—and then creates custom vaccines on the spot."
As he finished, Naruto entered the lab. He was tall, with sharp features, a few strands of silver creeping into his once-golden hair. His eyes, a deep blue, flickered with curiosity as he approached the workbench.
"What do you need, Dr. Brief?"
Dr. Brief handed him the Scouter.
"Take a look at this, Naruto. I think it might help with your current project."
Naruto took the Scouter in his hands, his expression shifting from casual interest to deep concentration. He pulled a small screwdriver from his pocket and quickly began unscrewing the casing. Bulma watched in silence as Naruto deftly examined the inner workings of the device. His hands moved with the precision of someone who had spent a lifetime building and dismantling machines.
After a minute, he stopped, his brow furrowing.
"Where did this come from? There's no way something like this could exist on Earth with our current technology."
Bulma sighed, leaning against the workbench.
"Well, that's where things get complicated. It didn't come from Earth. This Scouter is alien tech—came from a guy named Raditz, an extraterrestrial warrior who showed up with some bad intentions."
Naruto's eyes widened for a moment before he composed himself.
"Alien technology. This tech is far more advanced than anything we've seen. It could revolutionise my work if we reverse-engineer it. The energy signatures alone could allow us to scan human bodies in ways we've only dreamed of."
Bulma nodded, her arms crossed.
"It's definitely powerful. But the problem is, the Scouter doesn't just measure ki—it reacts to it. And if someone's power rises too fast…"
She mimicked an explosion with her hands. Naruto glanced up at her, a smirk forming.
"I'll make sure it doesn't blow up while I'm working on it."
Dr. Brief chuckled, patting Naruto on the back.
"I knew you'd see the potential in it. Just be careful with that thing. You'll have to deal with energy readings that aren't exactly human."
Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
"If I can figure out how to stabilise it, this could take my device to the next level. Imagine scanning not just viruses, but the entire human energy system—and correcting any imbalance at the molecular level."
Bulma grinned.
"Sounds like you've got a lot of work ahead of you. But if anyone can make it happen, it's you."
Naruto smiled, a fire lighting in his eyes.
"Challenge accepted."
Sometimes later…
Naruto furrowed his brow as he listened to Bulma.
"So you're telling me that there are sapient creatures like humans in other worlds?"
His voice was calm but curious, with a glimmer of excitement.
"That's incredible. But… if they're planning an attack, are we just going to sit back and watch?"
Bulma sighed heavily.
"What else can we do but watch for now?"
Naruto frowned but nodded, understanding the complexity of the situation.
"Well, let's put that aside for a moment. Your dad mentioned that you're interested in seeing what I've been working on. Want me to show you around the lab?"
Bulma's mood lightened as her curiosity took over.
"Yeah, show me what you've got."
Naruto led her down a sleek hallway into his private lab, a cutting-edge workspace filled with advanced equipment, monitors, and various research prototypes. As they entered, the hum of machines filled the air. He directed her toward a large holographic screen and brought up a program.
"This is a program I developed. It can scan any DNA sample and then recreate it. But that's not all—I've built an AI that edits DNA to reverse the effects of viruses and generate anti-viruses on its own."
Bulma raised an eyebrow.
"That's genius. But how do you scan on a molecular level? That's no small feat."
Naruto smiled.
"That's where I've been stuck. Until now, it was difficult to scan DNA accurately at the molecular level. But with the Scouter you brought me, I think I can repurpose it to do exactly that. Its ability to detect energy signatures could be recalibrated to scan cells."
Bulma's eyes widened as she realised how much potential that idea had.
"Smart. Really smart."
Naruto walked over to a workstation and opened a file on the holographic display.
"And that's just part of it. I've been working on two pet projects. The first one is a DNA repository for every living species on Earth. My goal is to preserve the DNA of endangered species, so even if they go extinct, we could theoretically bring them back. And not just bring them back—using my AI, I could enhance the recreated organisms, making them stronger, healthier versions of their species."
Bulma was stunned by the ambition of the project.
"You're talking about creating life from DNA," she marvelled.
Naruto shook his head.
"Not quite. I don't want to play god. The idea is more about preservation and enhancement. It would allow us to prevent extinction and strengthen ecosystems, but not without careful ethical considerations."
He tapped the screen again, bringing up another project file.
"This one, however, is a bit more… theoretical."
Bulma leaned in as he opened the file. Naruto looked at her, his face more serious now.
"This project explores genetic manipulation on a deeper level. It's about altering one species into another—transforming an organism by modifying its DNA structure. For instance, I could theoretically change an eagle into a sparrow, or a frog into a salamander."
Bulma's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're talking about trans-species transformation?"
Naruto nodded.
"Yes, but with limitations. The species would have to be similar. An eagle into a sparrow works because both are birds, and they share similar biological structures. A frog and a salamander are both amphibians, so the transformation would be possible. But crossing different types—say, an avian into a reptile—could work too, but only because they're both oviparous. The brain function and biology have to be aligned. It's risky, and honestly, it's something I wouldn't consider unless it was a last resort. The process could be temporary, but I still have to work out the ethical and scientific dilemmas."
Bulma was silent for a moment, processing the sheer scale of Naruto's vision.
"That's… ambitious. Maybe even too ambitious. It's brilliant, but it's also dangerous. You'd need to be very careful with something like that."
Naruto nodded in agreement.
"It's not something I'm rushing into. I just think if used responsibly, it could revolutionise how we approach conservation and biological adaptation. But I agree—it's ambitious, and we have to weigh the risks carefully."
Bulma smiled faintly.
"You never stop thinking big, do you?"
Naruto grinned back.
"You could say that."
Naruto examined the Scouter once more, deep in thought. As he turned it over in his hands, an idea began to form in his mind. His blue eyes flicked over to Bulma, who was busy reviewing her own data.
"Bulma, the alien—Raditz—did he have unique abilities because of his race?"
Bulma paused, considering the question.
"Yeah. Raditz said the Saiyans have this weird ability to grow stronger after surviving near-death experiences. They actually get more powerful the closer they come to dying. They can also turn into Giant Apes."
Naruto's eyes lit up with sudden inspiration. He swiftly turned back to his computer, pulling up the two project files he had shown her earlier. His fingers danced across the keyboard as he integrated new information into the program.
"I think I've just figured out a way to help your friends fight these aliens. What if we create a device that not only stores DNA but also allows the user to transform into one of the species whose DNA is stored? And if we use the DNA from other sapient beings like the Saiyans, it could give them similar powers."
Bulma's eyes widened as the full implications of Naruto's idea sank in.
"Wait, are you saying you want to create a device that lets someone use the abilities of other species by transforming into them? Like, temporarily becoming a Saiyan or something?"
Naruto nodded.
"Exactly. By tapping into the DNA of other intelligent species, we could grant humans powers they'd otherwise never have. Imagine having the ability to survive a near-death experience and grow stronger, like the Saiyans. It could level the playing field."
Bulma stared at him in amazement.
"That's… possible. And incredibly dangerous. But would just one species' DNA be enough to stop them?"
Naruto paused, thinking it through.
"No. We'll need more than just Saiyan DNA. One type of DNA might give us strength, but to stand a real chance against beings like Raditz, we'd need versatility—powers from different species with different abilities. The more varied DNA we collect, the more options we'll have in battle."
Naruto's gaze shifted toward the sky, a plan beginning to take shape.
"I could create a spaceship, something capable of travelling across galaxies. I'd gather DNA samples from different species myself. With each new species, we'd add more to the device, creating a vast genetic library."
Bulma thought for a moment, her sharp mind quickly processing the logistics. She nodded in agreement but raised a hand to stop him.
"Wait. You don't need to worry about the spaceship or gathering the DNA. I know someone who's already equipped for that kind of exploration. He can handle the collection part."
Naruto looked at her, intrigued.
"You do?"
"Yeah. He's got more than enough experience travelling the universe and collecting all sorts of things. But before we even think about getting more DNA, we need to focus on building the device you just came up with. Once it's functional, we can move on to gathering what we need."
Naruto nodded, the gears in his head already turning. Naruto smiled as he turned back to his workstation.
"Then let's get started. This is going to change everything."
1 Year Later,
October 3rd, AGE 762…
"We've done it."
The lab was buzzing with the hum of machines, and all three of them—Bulma, Dr. Brief, and Naruto—stood in front of the newly finished device. They had worked relentlessly for days, testing theories and refining designs, until finally, they had something tangible.
The device was still theoretical in some ways, as it hadn't been tested yet, but they had managed to include multiple groundbreaking functions. This was no ordinary gadget; it was something that could revolutionise how they fought alien threats.
"Yeah, we really did it."
The design had been debated for hours, and they had finally settled on something simple, practical, and inconspicuous: a wristwatch. It could scan the DNA of various creatures, storing them in a digital repository.
For now, the repository could only hold 20 DNA samples, but it was a good start. Another crucial feature they had integrated was the ability for the user to switch between two species with ease, allowing for quick transformations.
Naruto looked at the sleek, futuristic watch with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Bulma raised an eyebrow at him, her arms crossed.
"So, when are you going to wear it?"
Naruto blinked in surprise.
"Me? I thought you were going to use it, Bulma."
She smirked and shook her head.
"No way. You're the one who's been so passionate about this. You'll be the first wielder of this device. So, what are you going to name it?"
Naruto paused, deep in thought.
"How about… Megadeoxyribonucleictransdimensionaltransforminalnumerator?"
Bulma groaned and gave him a light punch on the head.
"No. Absolutely not. That sounds ridiculous. How about Omnitrix?"
Naruto rubbed the bump on his head and chuckled, nodding.
"Yeah… 'Omnitrix.' That has a nice ring to it."
Dr. Brief smiled at the banter, then stepped forward with the watch in hand.
"Alright, let's see if it works. Hold out your arm, Naruto."
Naruto did as he was told, raising his arm as Dr. Brief helped secure the Omnitrix around his wrist. The device clicked into place, and a small green light flickered on the face of the watch. Bulma and Dr. Brief stepped back, giving him room.
"This may or may not work."
The watch contained only two DNA samples so far. Naruto's program, which had originally been designed to create anti-viruses by manipulating DNA, had been repurposed for this device. It ensured that the alien forms Naruto transformed into would represent the peak of their species.
Naruto pressed the button to activate the Omnitrix. The device glowed a vibrant green as thousands of microscopic nanites were released, bonding the watch to Naruto's molecular structure. A sharp, searing pain shot through his arm, and Naruto gritted his teeth as the nanites did their work, fusing the device to him.
"Gah! It burns!"
Naruto winced, but the pain slowly began to subside. After a moment, the watch settled, its glow fading as the initial bonding process completed.
Naruto pressed the button again, and the watch face lifted up, revealing a glowing green silhouette. The outline of a human figure appeared on the display—except this human had a tail.
"This must be it…"
He slammed his hand down on the watch face, and instantly, his body began to change. He cried out as his bones shifted, muscles bulged, and a tail ripped out from the base of his spine. His hair grew slightly wilder, and a new set of clothing materialised on him—similar to the battle armour the Saiyans wore. His senses sharpened, and a surge of raw power coursed through his body.
A robotic voice echoed from the watch:
"DNA #1:
CODE NAME: Battle Monkey
SPECIES: Saiyan"
Naruto staggered for a moment before regaining his balance. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, marvelling at his transformation. He had become a Saiyan. His muscles were leaner, his tail swayed behind him, and he felt an immense strength that he had never experienced before.
"Well, I guess it works."
Bulma's eyes were wide with amazement, while Dr. Brief nodded, clearly impressed.
Naruto grinned, twisting the Omnitrix's dial 30 degrees and slamming his palm onto the device again. In an instant, he was back to his normal self, standing in the lab as if nothing had happened.
"That was… incredible. You actually became a Saiyan."
Naruto flexed his fingers, still feeling the lingering energy from the transformation.
"Yeah. It was a success."
Naruto glanced down at the Omnitrix.
"The real work starts now. Time to get to collecting DNA—and saving the Earth."
Next Day,
Omori Island…
"Naruto, I'd like you to meet my oldest daughter, Tights Brief. She's just as intelligent as Bulma, but she decided to apply her brilliance in a different way—by writing sci-fi novels."
Tights sighed, trying not to let her father's subtle hint of disappointment get to her. She knew he still loved her, but she also knew that he had hoped she'd follow in his scientific footsteps like Bulma.
She braced herself for the usual judgement from Naruto, expecting the same look most people gave her when they realised she wasn't using her intelligence in a "practical" field like Naruto's reaction was nothing like what she anticipated. Instead, he smiled warmly.
"You're a writer? Then I've got a story I've been wanting to tell someone for a while. Are you up for listening?"
Tights blinked in surprise. She had expected indifference at best or pity at worst, but this was completely unexpected. Before she could respond, Bulma interjected, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.
"Naruto, we're not here for storytelling. We've got work to do."
She turned toward Tights.
"Where's Jaco?"
Just as she asked, a small, sleek spaceship descended from the sky and landed with a soft thud in the yard. The hatch opened, and out jumped Jaco, the self-proclaimed Galactic Patrolman and "elite" officer of the Galactic Federation. He struck his signature pose as soon as he landed, raising one arm dramatically.
"Good morning, Tights! Bulma! Dr. Brief! And… uh, strange guy I've never met before!"
Jaco finished his pose and turned toward Tights with his hands on his hips.
"So, why'd you call me out here? I'm kind of busy keeping the galaxy safe, you know."
Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked over at Bulma.
"Should I scan his DNA?"
Bulma glanced at Jaco, then shook her head.
"No, his species doesn't have any noteworthy abilities we're looking for. At least, none that would help us fight the Saiyans."
Jaco's antennae twitched in confusion, and Tights gave her sister a puzzled look.
"What are you talking about?"
Bulma sighed and decided to fill them both in. She gave a quick but detailed explanation of the Omnitrix—how they had developed the device to scan and store DNA, allowing the user to transform into the strongest version of a particular species. By gathering different alien DNA samples, they hoped to equip Naruto with the abilities needed to face the Saiyan invasion they knew was coming.
Jaco's eyes widened in shock as he realised the implications of what Bulma and her team had created.
"You made something like that? That's… that's dangerous! If this thing gets into the wrong hands, it could be catastrophic!"
Bulma raised her hand, calming him down.
"I know, Jaco. That's why it won't get into the wrong hands. I trust Naruto, and so should you. We're being careful."
Jaco hesitated, but then he looked over at Tights, who gave him an encouraging nod. Tights trusted Bulma, and Jaco trusted Tights. If she was confident, then so was he.
"So you want help choosing which DNA to scan, right? Well, lucky for you, I'm a super elite member of the Galactic Federation, and I know more about alien species than anyone in this sector! I'll help you gather what you need."
Naruto crossed his arms, intrigued.
"I could use the guidance. The Saiyans could show up at any time, and we'll need every advantage we can get."
Jaco puffed out his chest, trying to look important.
"Then let's not waste any time! The longer we wait, the more dangerous this situation becomes. The Saiyans are ruthless, and when they come, you'll need all the power you can get."
Naruto nodded.
"Agreed. Let's head out."
Jaco turned toward his ship, waving them forward dramatically.
"Then follow me to my spaceship! We'll start gathering the DNA samples right away."
Just as Naruto began to follow Jaco, Tights stepped forward. "
Hold on a second. I'm coming with you."
Bulma shot her an incredulous look.
"Tights, what are you talking about? You don't have any experience with this kind of stuff."
Tights squared her shoulders.
"I may not be a scientist, but I know how to help. I can document everything, assist with logistics, and help Naruto navigate. Besides, I'm not just going to sit here while everyone else risks their lives. You always think I can't handle myself, but I'm more than just a writer. I want to do something meaningful."
Bulma hesitated, glancing over at Naruto and Jaco. Naruto simply smiled, nodding in agreement.
"She's right. We could use all the help we can get, and having someone with Tights' skills could be valuable. Plus, it'd be nice to have someone who's good at telling stories. We'll need something to pass the time during long space trips."
Jaco didn't seem to care either way, already excited about getting back to space.
"Fine by me. Just don't slow us down."
Tights smiled gratefully at Naruto and nodded to Bulma.
"I'm going. And I promise I won't get in the way."
Sometimes later…
"What exactly are you doing?"
Jaco asked, his brow furrowed in confusion as he watched Naruto connect himself to the Galactic Patrol's system via a datapad. The Galactic Patrolman was clearly unsettled, unsure of what Naruto was up to.
Naruto's hands moved quickly over the console, the screen reflecting streams of data as he accessed the Galactic Federation's vast repository of information on alien species.
"Don't worry. This is just in case. I'm gathering data on potential DNA samples. We need to be prepared, and this will save us time in the long run."
Jaco crossed his arms, still wary.
"You're copying files from the Galactic Patrol's database? You can't just download classified information like that!"
Naruto chuckled, finishing the download.
"It's not classified if I'm only looking at public records. I'm not interested in their secret files, just data on potential species that could be useful in our fight."
Jaco squinted at Naruto, his suspicions not entirely gone. But then again, Tights and Bulma trusted this guy, so he decided to let it slide—for now. He didn't have the energy to argue, especially considering the looming threat of the Saiyans.
"Fine. But if the Patrol finds out about this…"
Naruto gave him a reassuring smile.
"They won't. I'm just collecting data on known species. We need to find the best candidates to increase the Omnitrix's capabilities."
He scrolled through the data, displaying profiles of various alien species on the screen. After a few minutes of browsing, Naruto stopped at one particular entry and smiled.
"Let's start with Pyros. I want the Pyronite DNA."
Jaco's eyes widened.
"Pyronites? Are you insane? Those guys live on a planet made entirely of fire and lava! You can't just stroll up to one and ask for a DNA sample."
Naruto chuckled, unphased by Jaco's concern.
"I'm aware of the risks. But if I can scan their DNA, I'll be able to transform into one of them. Pyronites are incredibly powerful, and their ability to manipulate and generate intense heat and fire could be exactly what we need against the Saiyans."
Jaco opened his mouth to protest but then realised there was some logic to Naruto's plan. Still, the thought of willingly going to a planet as volatile as Pyros wasn't exactly appealing.
"You do realise that planet is one giant fireball, right? The temperature alone could melt most ships."
Naruto nodded.
"That's why I'm making adjustments to Jaco's ship. I'll reinforce the hull with a heat-resistant coating and make sure the atmosphere control systems are robust enough to handle extreme temperatures. Besides, it's not like we'll be staying long—just long enough to get a DNA sample."
As Naruto continued to work, he stumbled upon another familiar entry. His eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the data.
"And then there's this... Namekian.
The profile displayed an image of a green-skinned alien with antennae and pointed ears.
"This must be Piccolo's species."
Jaco glanced at the screen and nodded.
"Yeah, that makes sense. Namekians are known for their regenerative abilities and unique form of ki control. But they're peaceful by nature, not exactly the kind to start fights. Still, they're strong, no doubt about it."
Tights, who had been quietly watching the exchange from her seat, finally chimed in.
"Are you sure you're not taking on too much too fast? I mean, these aliens sound dangerous, and we don't even know how your body will react to their DNA. What if something goes wrong?"
Naruto turned to her, smiling confidently.
"That's why we're doing this in phases. We'll test the Omnitrix's transformation capabilities with each new DNA sample we gather. We need to make sure the device is stable before we move on to the more complex transformations. But trust me, I've run simulations. I wouldn't be doing this if I thought it was too risky."
Tights raised an eyebrow.
"Simulations can only tell you so much. But... I guess you know what you're doing."
Jaco sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"This is insane, but whatever. If you're going to pull this off, we need to move fast. The Saiyans could arrive at any moment, and we don't have time to waste."
He pointed to the screen displaying Pyros.
"I'll help you get to Pyros, but don't expect me to do any hand-holding when we land. You're on your own with the Pyronites."
Naruto smirked.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of it. Let's just hope they don't roast me alive before I can scan their DNA."
Jaco shot Naruto with a deadpan look.
"Yeah, let's hope."
Around 1 Month Later,
3rd November, AGE 762…
Boom. The earth trembled under the force of the explosion, smoke rising into the sky like a dark omen. Bulma stood frozen in horror, her heart sinking as she stared at the crater left by the blast. Yamcha, her boyfriend, lay at the centre, lifeless. The Saiyans were here, and they were ruthless.
There were two of them—Nappa, a towering brute, and Vegeta, his smaller, more dangerous counterpart. Bulma's hope was with Goku, but he was just one man. Against two Saiyans, the odds were slim.
They needed Naruto, and they needed him fast. But where was he? Bulma clenched her fists, praying that he would show up before the destruction spread.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake again, but this time it wasn't from an explosion. It was Nappa. The giant Saiyan powered up, his muscles bulging with raw energy as he prepared to deliver a crushing blow to Tien. The air vibrated with the intensity of his power as he rushed at Tien, a murderous grin on his face.
And then, in an instant, Tien vanished.
"Sorry I'm late."
Everyone turned, their eyes wide with shock. Where Tien once stood, Naruto had appeared. But he wasn't in his human form. He was something else entirely—an alien, moving at lightning speed. His blue skin and streamlined body marked him as a Kineceleran, a species known for their incredible speed.
Nappa and Vegeta exchanged bewildered glances.
"First a Namekian. Now a Kineceleran. Is this planet a zoo or what?"
Naruto smirked, his Kineceleran form flashing with energy as he dashed toward Nappa at blinding speed. In the blink of an eye, Naruto was upon him. But just before colliding with Nappa, Naruto transformed again—his form morphing into a massive, four-armed creature with red skin and a powerful frame. He was now a Tetramand, one of the strongest species in the Omnitrix's database.
With all four arms, Naruto delivered a devastating punch to Nappa's chest, sending the massive Saiyan flying across the battlefield. The ground shook as Nappa crashed into the earth, creating a deep crater upon impact. The Z-Fighters, who had been on the verge of defeat, watched in stunned silence.
Nappa quickly scrambled to his feet, his face twisted in rage. He clenched his fists, gathering Ki in his mouth as energy began to build.
"Break Cannon!"
Nappa roared, firing a powerful energy wave from his mouth. The attack hurtled toward Naruto, the force of it tearing up the ground as it approached.
But Naruto didn't flinch. Instead, he transformed once more, his body shifting into a lean, black-and-white alien with electrical nodes running along his arms. This time, he had become Feedback, a Conduit species capable of absorbing energy.
As the Break Cannon struck him, Naruto raised his hands and absorbed the energy directly into his body. Nappa's attack fizzled into nothing as Feedback glowed with the absorbed power.
"Thanks for the boost."
Naruto grinned, his voice crackling with energy. He pointed his fingers toward Nappa and unleashed a powerful energy beam in return, aimed directly at Nappa's hands. Nappa screamed in agony as the beam tore through his arms, disintegrating his hands in a flash of light.
Vegeta, who had been observing from the sidelines, was visibly shaken. His eyes darted between Naruto's different forms. First a Kineceleran. Then a Tetramand. Now a Conduit. How could one transform into so many different species?
"What... what are you?"
Vegeta demanded, his voice low and menacing. His usual arrogance was tinged with disbelief.
Naruto turned to face Vegeta, his form once again shifting back into his human state.
"I'm Naruto Namikaze. And I'm here to kick your ass."
The battlefield was silent for a moment as Naruto's words sank in. Vegeta's face twisted in anger.
"You think you can defeat me? A Saiyan prince? You don't even understand what you're up against!"
Naruto smirked.
"You're the one who doesn't understand. I have more than just one form. And I'm not fighting alone."
Before Vegeta could respond, Naruto's hand hovered over the Omnitrix, and the device glowed green, ready for another transformation. But this time, Naruto didn't rush in. He stood his ground, waiting for Vegeta to make the first move. He knew Vegeta was strong—stronger than Nappa—but Naruto wasn't worried. He had a plan.
"Get ready, Vegeta. Because I'm just getting started."
