"Hello" - normal talking
'Hello' - thoughts
Naruto, Bulma, and Oolong made their way westward, the landscape gradually transformed into a strange mushroom forest. Towering fungi surrounded them on all sides, their enormous caps casting strange shadows over the road. Naruto, staring out the window, couldn't help but feel awe and amazement.
"This place is really something else..." Naruto murmured, eyeing the massive mushrooms. His stomach grumbled as he considered the possibility of eating one, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Who knew if they were safe or not? Instead, he turned to look at Bulma, who was still wearing the bunny suit. She seemed completely at ease, humming a light tune while scanning the map.
"Hey Oolong, is there a town around here?" Bulma asked, breaking the silence as she leaned over to check the radar.
Oolong glanced back, gave an irritated look. "How would I know? This is the first time I've been out this far," he grumbled. His eyes drifted to the fuel gauge, and his annoyance deepened as he realized it was almost empty. 'Great, I should've filled up at the last stop,' Oolong thought, mentally kicking himself for not being more prepared.
Bulma sighed, shifting her focus back to the map. "Let's hope there's a town nearby. I need new clothes, and we're running low on food," she said, pulling at the fabric of her bunny suit. While she knew Naruto loved the outfit, he could hardly keep his hands off her when she wore it. But the skimpy suit was getting dirty, and she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Naruto, overhearing her, grinned. "Good thing I didn't lose my bag," he said proudly, remembering the close call earlier in their journey. His casual comment drew an eye roll from Bulma, but her mind was already focused on finding a place to restock their supplies.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at a small town nestled among the mushrooms. Though it was more like a village, the locals didn't seem too concerned with the newcomers, quickly resuming their daily routines after a few curious glances. Oolong parked the mobile house in front of a gas station, eager to refuel.
"Fill her up, please," Oolong called out to a worker, who nodded and began pumping gas into their vehicle. Meanwhile, Naruto and Bulma stepped out, ready to do some shopping.
"We're gonna pick up a few things, Oolong," Naruto said as he and Bulma began walking toward the town's small marketplace. "Stay here and keep an eye on the mobile home."
Oolong waved them off, muttering under his breath, "Yeah, yeah... don't take too long."
Bulma scanned the village, her eyes landing on a small shop displaying capsules in its window. "Oh! There we go, they have capsules here!" she exclaimed, pulling Naruto along as they headed inside.
Over one and a half hours passed, and Oolong sat impatiently in the driver's seat, drumming his fingers against the steering wheel. "What's taking them so long?" he groaned, glancing at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time.
Just as he was about to grumble some more, Bulma and Naruto finally appeared, walking towards the mobile home. Naruto carried several shopping bags, and Bulma had changed out of her bunny suit. She now wore a gypsy-inspired outfit, her hair pulled into a ponytail. The outfit consisted of white pants with a red waistband, a gold collared small blue jacket, gold armlets, and red sandals. She looked radiant even in a simple village girl outfit, and Naruto couldn't help but stare at her wide hips brought out by her new outfit.
"Finally!" Oolong huffed, though his mood lightened a bit when he saw they were back. "Let's get moving."
With everyone back inside the mobile home, they continued their long journey toward the Diablo Desert, their next and final destination for the last Dragon Ball.
…
Meanwhile, deep in the Diablo Desert, a massive castle loomed over the sandy planes. It belonged to none other than Emperor Pilaf, a small, blue-skinned imp who sat on his oversized throne, tapping his fingers impatiently. He wore his usual green, red, and black tunic with a frilled collar, paired with blue pants and cream shoes. His multi-colored hat completed the bizarre outfit.
"Where are they?" Pilaf grumbled to himself, growing frustrated. His minions, Shu and Mai, were late, and he had been eagerly waiting for them to return with the All the Dragon Balls. His sharp ears perked up as the doors to his throne room opened, and his two loyal followers entered.
A grin stretched across Pilaf's face. "Finally! Do you have all the Dragon Balls?" he asked eagerly, leaning forward on his throne.
Shu and Mai bowed before him, but Mai hesitated before speaking. "N-no, Emperor," she admitted, her voice cautious. Mai was a 35 years old fairly tall woman with blue eyes and long black hair with bangs. She was wearing red eye shadow. She has wide child-bearing hips and large breasts that stretch her outfit. Her hips supported a fat doughy ass which could trigger an instant erection. She was wearing a teal trench coat with a red star insignia on each shoulder, a brown belt with a pistol holster attached to it from the right hip, beige slacks, and brown combat boots.
Beside her was Shu, a short anthropomorphic Shiba-Inu dog-man with ginger or light brown fur covering his entire body, and a tan face and paws. Wearing a ninja uniform and carrying a short sword on his back.
"What?! You dare come back empty-handed?" Pilaf roared, his face turning red with anger. He clenched his fists, glaring at them.
Mai, though nervous, quickly explained, "We saw a trio already collecting the Dragon Balls. We followed them from a distance and watched as they gathered six. They're headed here now to collect the seventh. When they arrive, we can ambush them and take the Dragon Balls for ourselves!"
Pilaf's scowl melted into a wicked grin. "Hahahaha! Excellent! I knew I could count on you," he cackled, rubbing his hands together. "Soon, I'll have all seven Dragon Balls, and I will rule the world! I'll be the Emperor of everything!" His voice grew louder and more maniacal with every word until the room echoed with his comical evil laughter.
Shu wagged his tail happily, eager to please his master. "It's all coming together, Emperor. They won't know what hit them."
"Hahaha, yes! Just a little longer, and the world will bow before Emperor Pilaf!" The imp threw his head back and laughed once more, the sound echoing through the castle halls as his minions exchanged glances. The countdown to their inevitable rise to power had begun.
…
The trio had been traveling for over two weeks now, their nerves tingling with excitement as they neared the location of the final Dragon Ball. Their journey had been anything but straightforward. What was supposed to be a long boring path to their destination turned out to be filled with many small adventures and unforgettable moments. They explored ancient caves, delved into mysterious dungeons, and encountered bizarre places that made their heads spin with their nonsensical elements and surroundings.
They met many kinds of people, experienced diverse cultures, and made many new friends. Along the way, they helped those in need, liberated villages, small towns from villains and local tyrants. Even Oolong tagged along, using his abilities in various situations that greatly helped Bulma and Naruto. His bravery even earned him a small kiss on the head from Bulma.
The oddest adventure they had faced so far was their encounter with the strange alien rabbit people from a distant planet called Carrots. These oversized humanoid rabbits had an absurd yet sinister plan to eliminate all human life and turn the entire world into a giant carrot field. Naruto and Bulma couldn't decide whether to laugh or take their goal seriously. However, it quickly became apparent that the rabbit people were quite serious and had advanced technology and laser-based weapons, much to Bulma's shock. Her initial surprise turned into fascination as she became intrigued by their alien technology and weapons.
Poor Oolong nearly became a roasted pig by a laser beam fired by the rabbit people. Thankfully, Naruto was quick enough to save him. In the end, the trio left behind a giant mile-long crater with its bottom reaching deep into the earth. Naruto had unleashed a powerful Ki blast to obliterate their underground base. He didn't know how deep the base was so he made sure the blast radius was as wide as possible. Bulma pouted and glared at her boyfriend, angry that she couldn't get her hands on the alien tech because of him.
And now, nearing the last dragon ball, the tension too was visible in the air, hoping not to face any problem. Bulma, her eyes glued to the radar, couldn't help but feel the excitement bubbling inside her.
"It won't be long now, guys," she said, her voice slightly breathless. Her heart raced. "We're so close!" she added, more to herself than anyone else. 'One more… just one more, and my wish will come true!' she thought, her mind already preparing herself for meeting her father.
Naruto, seated beside her, smiled warmly. "Hehe, Bulma, I can't believe we're almost there," he said, his gaze on her. "And it's all thanks to you. Your radar made this whole thing way easier."
Bulma blushed slightly at his words but tried to play it off coolly. "Oh, come on, Naruto, don't give me all the credit. You're the one doing all the fighting and protecting," she said with a teasing smile. Without warning, she leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissed him deeply.
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly relaxed, savoring the moment. Their lips parted with a soft sigh, and for a second, everything else in the world disappeared.
"Hey! What about me?" Oolong's voice broke the sweet moment, causing them both to glance his way. He was pouting, clearly feeling left out.
"What? You want a kiss from me?" Naruto joked, causing Bulma to giggle beside him.
Oolong made a puking sound. "No thanks, man, I don't swing that way!" he smirked. Naruto blinked twice while Bulma giggled again. It was the first time Oolong had come back at Naruto's jokes.
Before Naruto could respond with his own comeback, his attention was caught by something in the distance. A massive structure loomed ahead.
"Whoa, look at that!" Bulma exclaimed, her eyes wide as she took in the sight of the enormous palace standing tall before them.
Naruto was equally awed. "It's huge!" he marveled, trying to imagine how many people could live in such a place.
"Not bad for a summer home," Oolong tried not to envy whoever owned that giant castle, though his tone betrayed a hint of jealousy. Unknown to the trio, they were already under watch, observed through hidden cameras scattered around the area.
Inside the Castle
"Lord Pilaf, they're here," Mai reported, her eyes locked on the monitor displaying the approaching trio. Her voice was calm, but her excitement was noticeable.
Pilaf grinned, his small form leaning forward on his throne. "Is everything ready?" he asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
Mai nodded. "Yes, my lord. Everything is in place."
"Perfect," Pilaf muttered, rubbing his hands together. "They have no idea what they're walking into!" He let out a sinister laugh. "We'll capture them as planned."
"I'll activate the traps," Mai said before swiftly exiting the room.
"Soon," Pilaf chuckled, his voice dripping with anticipation, "soon, they'll feel the wrath of Emperor Pilaf!" His laughter echoed through the empty hall as he imagined his destined world domination.
With the Trio
Naruto, Bulma, and Oolong stood before the massive doors of the palace, staring up at the imposing door. Knocked several times and waited for someone to answer "Doesn't look like anyone's home..." Naruto said, glancing around. The place felt empty, the air heavy with a chilling sensation.
"But the Dragon Ball is definitely inside," Bulma said, her eyes flicking down to the radar. "See? It's in there. Maybe nobody lives here. Naruto, see if you can pry open the door." She nodded toward the entrance.
"Alright, let's see," Naruto said, stepping forward. He placed his hands against the door and gave it a firm push. It groaned in protest before creaking open, revealing nothing but darkness beyond.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Oolong muttered, his nerves on edge.
Ignoring him, Naruto led the way inside, with Bulma and Oolong trailing behind. The moment they crossed the threshold, the temperature seemed to drop, and a thick, unsettling silence enveloped them. Bulma clung to Naruto's arm tightly.
"Ugh, it's so dark in here!" she whispered, her voice tinged with fear.
"It'll be fine," Naruto assured her, though he couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching them.
As they walked deeper into the castle, the silence became suffocating, broken only by their footsteps echoing against the stone walls. Then, out of nowhere, Oolong's ears perked up. "Wait… did you hear that?" he whispered, stopping in his tracks.
Before anyone could respond, the sound of flapping wings filled the air, and suddenly, a swarm of bats descended on them from the ceiling.
Bulma screamed in terror, instinctively jumping into Naruto's arms. "Get them off! Get them off!" she shrieked, her face buried in his chest.
Naruto held her tightly, protecting her from the bats. "It's alright, they're just bats," he reassured her. After a few moments, the bats cleared, leaving the trio alone again.
"You can get down now," Naruto said, gently setting Bulma back on her feet. She nodded, trembling slightly, but regained her composure.
"I really don't like this place," Oolong muttered, casting a wary glance around the darkened corridor. Even the caves and dungeons they explored didn't give a haunted feeling that this place is radiating.
They continued further into the castle, encountering a series of dangerous booby traps that made their journey inside even more deadly. Spiked walls, hidden pits, and sudden drop-offs all awaited them at every turn. But with Naruto's quick reflexes and sharp instincts, they managed to avoid any serious injuries and death.
Finally, after what felt like hours, they stumbled upon a large, pink arrow pointing at a hallway. "It's pointing this way," Naruto said, cautiously following it. "But something doesn't feel right..." Just as they reached the end of the corridor, a loud crash echoed through the hallway, another trap activated and the walls suddenly closed on them from every side.
"We're trapped!" Bulma cried out, her voice filled with panic.
"I knew this was a bad idea!" Oolong yelled.
"Everyone, calm down," Naruto urged. "We just need to think... there's got to be a way out."
…
"My rise to power as this world's great king is close at hand!" Pilaf watched his prisoners through the monitor, rubbing his hands together gleefully. His blue skin glowed in the dim light of his control room.
"My lord, the dragon balls aren't inside the vehicle," Mai reported, her voice a mixture of confusion and nervousness.
Pilaf's grin faltered. "Did you check the vehicle carefully?" Pilaf's voice rose, irritation bubbling up.
"Yes, Lord Pilaf. We searched everywhere. The dragon balls weren't in it." Mai's response only deepened Pilaf's disappointment.
"What?!" Pilaf banged the armrest of his chair. "That means one of them must be carrying those... Hmmmmm." He started pacing, pondering their next move.
"They don't look like they have any balls..." Shu muttered innocently. Pilaf glared at him, but before he could respond, Mai's eyes lit up as she stared at the screen, specifically at Naruto.
"I bet that hunk has all the balls." She licked her lips in a suggestive manner, completely distracted by Naruto's muscled form. Pilaf and Shu just exchanged uneasy looks at her comment.
…
"Guys, there's got to be a hidden button or switch that opens this wall," Naruto said, his eyes scanning the room. He wasn't one to back down from a challenge. Bulma and Oolong nodded, quickly looking around, but the darkness only made it a lot harder.
"Naruto, come here! I think I found something!" Bulma called out, her voice laced with relief but also a hint of nervousness. She was standing in front of a panel that barely stood out in the dark room. "It looks like a monitor, but I can't make out anything."
Suddenly, the monitor flickered to life, lighting up the dark space. The face of a small blue imp appeared on the screen, grinning maniacally.
"Hahahahahaha! You fools! You've walked right into my trap, and now, you are all my prisoners! Escape is impossible!" Pilaf's voice echoed ominously through the room, and his cackling sent a chill down Bulma's spine.
"Who are you?" Naruto demanded, his fists clenched, ready for a fight.
"I am the great Emperor Pilaf! I know one of you has all six dragon balls. Hand them over, and I might let you go." Pilaf's eyes gleamed with a false promise, his smirk growing wider.
"As if we'd give you anything!" Bulma snapped, her voice defiant, not wanting to give up her Dragon Balls.
Pilaf's smug grin twisted into a scowl. "You refuse? Then I'll have to make you talk!" With a swift motion, he pressed a button on his control panel. A giant mechanical claw emerged from the wall, snatching Bulma up before anyone could react. She screamed, struggling as the claw lifted her off the ground.
"Bulma!" Naruto rushed forward, but the wall slammed shut before he could reach her. "What did you do to her?! Give her back!" Naruto shouted, his heart pounding in protective instincts, and he slammed his fist against the wall.
"Oh, don't worry," Pilaf taunted, "I'm just bringing her here for some… interrogation. Soon, you'll hear her screams!" He laughed wickedly as the claw carried Bulma to him.
Bulma was tossed in front of Pilaf, her body hitting the cold floor with a thud. She groaned, trying to get her bearings. "You jerk! What are you planning to do to me?!" she demanded, fear laced into her voice despite her earlier bravado.
Pilaf sneered. "Tell me where the dragon balls are, or I'll make you regret it."
Bulma glared at him, her fear replaced by defiance again. "I'll never tell you!" She raised her middle finger at him, her eyes burning with anger.
Pilaf's face turned beet red with fury. "Oh, you want to be humiliated, do you? Fine!" He let out a dark chuckle. "Hahahaha!"
"Pilaf! Don't you dare touch her!" Naruto's loud voice came through the speakers, filled with rage. He was ready to bring down this whole palace.
"Lord Pilaf… you're not actually going to use that, are you?" Shu whimpered, stepping back nervously. "Please don't!"
Mai, on the other hand, rolled her eyes. "This is going to be embarrassing."
Pilaf ignored them, slowly approaching Bulma with a sinister grin. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the worst. Then... she felt nothing. She cautiously opened one eye.
Pilaf blew her a flying kiss.
"Huh… a kiss? That's it?" Bulma stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Yes, I threw a kiss! Pretty terrifying, right?" Pilaf was blushing, awkwardly covering his mouth. Shu groaned, covering his face with his paws. "Eww, how indecent." Mai hid her face but not for the same reason as Shu but for how childish those two were acting.
"That's the best you can do?" Bulma tried to hold her laugh but failed, her giggles filling the room.
Pilaf was shocked. "What?!" he sputtered, his face turned into disbelief. "How dare you mock my most terrifying attack?!"
Naruto's laughter echoed through the speakers. "Man, I thought you were actually going to torture her. Hahaha!" Oolong rolling on the floor while laughing his ass off.
Pilaf's face turned red again, this time with embarrassment. "That does it!" he shrieked and slammed a lever. The giant claw returned, roughly tossing Bulma back to Naruto's arms. She landed in his arms, still dazed from the sudden movement.
"Bulma, are you okay?" Naruto asked, his face filled with concern as he gently held her.
"I'm fine," she muttered, though she still felt a little dizzy. Her cheeks flushed slightly from being in Naruto's strong arms.
"Damn it! I can't believe my attack didn't work!" Pilaf pouted like a child denied candy.
"Lord Pilaf, maybe we should use the sleeping gas," Mai suggested, unimpressed with his antics. "Once they're out cold, we can just take the dragon balls ourselves."
Pilaf perked up. "Oh, that's right! Sleeping gas! Brilliant idea, Mai! Do it!"
Shu scrambled to push the button, and soon, thick clouds of gas began filling the room where Naruto, Bulma, and Oolong were held. The trio started coughing as the gas enveloped them.
"What… is this…?" Naruto struggled to speak, his eyelids growing heavy. His body swayed, fighting the drowsiness.
"It's sleeping gas!" Oolong warned, his voice faint. "Don't breathe…!" But it was already too late. The trio collapsed, unconscious on the floor.
The gas cleared away, and the walls lifted. Pilaf strutted into the room, his face filled with triumph. "Hahaha! Fast asleep, just like babies!" he sneered. "Now, let's find those dragon balls."
Mai quickly began searching through Naruto's belongings. Her hand slipped into a bag and, with a triumphant grin, pulled out all six dragon balls. "Here they are, Lord Pilaf. We can summon the dragon now." Pilaf couldn't hold back his happiness, his chest heaved up and down as he started to breathe heavily, and suddenly everything went blank.
…
A few hours later, the dim glow of the castle's lights flickered as Mai and Shu frantically tried to wake up their master lying on his bed. "Lord Pilaf… Lord Pilaf, wake up!" Mai called, shaking him gently. Shu hovered nearby, concerned looking at his face.
"Lord Pilaf! Are you alright?" Shu asked as Pilaf slowly stirred, his eyes slowly opened.
Everything was blurry at first, but gradually, Pilaf's vision cleared. His eyes darted around the room, his confusion evident. "What... what happened?" he mumbled. "How did I fall asleep? The last thing I remember is... getting all the dragon balls."
Mai cleared her throat, trying to suppress a smile. "You were so excited and happy that you fainted, my lord," she explained. "It seems the thrill was a bit too much for you."
"I fainted? Me?" Pilaf asked in disbelief, sitting up straighter. Both Mai and Shu nodded, trying not to laugh. "But, did you secure the dragon balls?" he asked, his voice rising in panic.
Mai gestured to a box sitting on a nearby table. "Yes, my lord. We have all the dragon balls right here," she assured him.
Pilaf's eyes widened with joy, his heart pounding as he practically leaped out of bed. "Let me see them!" he demanded. Mai opened the box with a dramatic motion, revealing the seven glowing orbs.
"There! See for yourself," she said, watching Pilaf's expression of awe.
"Hahahahahaha!" Pilaf's laugh echoed through the room. "They're all mine! Finally, I have them all!" His laughter continued, and Mai and Shu joined in, though their giggles were a bit more reserved. Suddenly, Pilaf stopped laughing and turned to Mai. "What time is it?" he asked, his voice sharp.
"It's 3:00 a.m., Lord Pilaf," Mai replied, slightly puzzled by the question.
"Perfect," Pilaf grinned sinisterly. "Let's go outside. I'm going to summon the dragon right now. My rise to power as the ruler of the world is at hand!" His voice was filled with glee as he imagined sitting on the top of the world as its new ruler.
Mai and Shu quickly fell into line behind him. "As you wish, my lord," they said in unison.
"But first," Pilaf paused, "what about our prisoners?"
"They're still in the dungeon, fast asleep from the gas," Mai replied.
"Good, let's leave them there for now." Pilaf nodded and then motioned for Shu to carry the box. Shu eagerly grabbed the box and balanced it on his head as they made their way outside.
In the Dungeon
Bulma stirred awake, her head pounding from the effects of the sleeping gas. As her vision focused, panic set in. She looked around frantically and saw Naruto and Oolong still asleep beside her. But her heart skipped when her eyes landed on Naruto's bag, completely empty.
"The dragon balls!" she gasped, her voice rising in a crescendo of horror. "They're gone! AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Bulma screamed, causing Naruto and Oolong to jerk awake.
"Naruto, get up! GET UP!" Bulma shook Naruto roughly, her panicked nerve getting out of control. "They took the dragon balls!"
"Huh... what?" Naruto mumbled groggily as he rubbed his eyes. Oolong sat up, his ears still ringing from Bulma's shouting.
"They gassed us, Naruto! And now the dragon balls are gone!" Bulma yelled, her voice cracking with frustration.
"No way!" Naruto's eyes widened as he quickly checked the bag himself. "They really took them!"
Bulma's voice wavered with despair. "They could be summoning the dragon as we speak. What if they've already made their wish?" Her eyes began to well up with tears. "Darn it! We're too late!"
Naruto clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "Not if we can stop them!" he said, determination blazing in his eyes.
"Hey, guys, look!" Oolong interrupted, pointing toward the cell door. "The door… it's open!"
Both Naruto and Bulma turned their heads toward the door, and a surprised look appeared on their faces. "Do you think they just… forgot to lock it?" Naruto asked, suspicion creeping into his voice.
Bulma bit her lip, trying to make sense of it. "It could be a mistake... or maybe another trap."
"Why would they bother trapping us again if we're already in a cell?" Oolong snorted. "They're probably just idiots."
Bulma wiped her eyes, regaining her composure. "If the door's open, we still have a chance to get the dragon balls back!" She stood up, her resolve firm.
Naruto nodded, standing up beside her. "Alright, let's do this."
Without hesitation, the trio left the cell, stepping cautiously into the dark, and running through the corridors of Pilaf's castle. The walls stood high, casting ghostly shadows that made the place feel like an endless maze.
"This place is like a labyrinth," Bulma muttered as they hurried through the halls. "We need to find those dragon balls before it's too late."
Naruto glanced around, his senses heightened. "Hang on, guys, I sense something." Suddenly, his senses flared, warning him of an approaching power. It made the Saiyan freeze for a moment, but he quickly realized it must be the dragon being summoned. "They are summoning the dragon right now," he said, his words surprising both Bulma and Oolong.
Before they could say anything, the reddish-brown-haired Saiyan scooped Bulma into his arms. "Oolong, grab my leg right now," he instructed. The pig complied, and in a swift motion, Naruto flew, breaking through the castle's large window. The screams of Bulma and the pigman echoed as they held onto Naruto tightly.
…
The cold desert air brushed against Pilaf's face as he stood far outside his castle, gazing up at the full moon with anticipation. The world was within his grasp, and nothing could stop him now. The stars twinkled down as if they were celebrating his dream coming true. He turned to Shu and Mai, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"My hour of glory is finally at hand," Pilaf proclaimed, his voice growing louder with every word. "This world will finally fall under my control—HAHAHAHAHA!" His laugh echoed through the empty.
Shu and Mai exchanged a glance, swallowing their fear as they nervously laughed along. "Yes, my lord!" Shu squeaked, his knees trembling. Mai, trying to hold it together, gave a firm nod but couldn't hide the slight shake in her hands.
"Quickly, put those balls on the ground!" Pilaf ordered, his voice booming with authority.
"Yes, my lord," Shu responded immediately, carefully placing all the Dragon balls out of the box on the ground, his heart pounding in his chest.
Pilaf stared down at the glowing orbs, his eyes wide with madness. "Finally! I'm going to summon the dragon and make my wish!" He raised his hands dramatically.
Mai and Shu gulped as a shiver of dread ran down their spines. They were part of something bigger than themselves now—something magnificent.
"Come forth, dragon, and grant my wish!" Pilaf screamed, thrusting his arms toward the heavens.
The dragon balls erupted in a brilliant glow, lighting up the entire area. Pitch black clouds appeared, covering the whole star-filled sky into darkness as if the heavens themselves cowered in fear of the dragon. Thunder rumbled ominously, and in a flash of lightning, a beam shot out from the balls, piercing the sky. A massive green dragon emerged, coiling into the air, its size dwarfing the entire landscape.
Shenron appeared, a towering, serpentine figure with glowing red eyes that burned with unparalleled otherworldly power. His scales shimmered, and his voice boomed, "I AM SHENRON. ARE YOU THE ONE WHO SUMMONED ME?"
Pilaf, wide-eyed, took a step back. His bravado cracked for a moment, replaced by raw fear. "Y-Yes... Yes, I did!" he stammered, trying to keep his composure, but the weight of Shenron's presence was crushing.
"TELL ME YOUR WISH. I SHALL GRANT YOU ANY TWO WISHES... BUT BEWARE, FOR THEY WILL COME TRUE," Shenron's voice echoed like thunder.
Pilaf, even though he was shaking in his boots, could barely contain his excitement. His mind was filled with visions of power, of ruling the world, and making everyone bow before him. But before he could even open his mouth to speak, a gust of wind swept past him.
"Stop right there!"
Naruto landed before Pilaf with Bulma in his arms and Oolong clinging to his leg. The trio's sudden appearance made Pilaf's heart skip a beat. Oolong quickly released Naruto's leg and backed away, his eyes wide as he took in the sight of Shenron looming above them all.
"YOU! You're supposed to be in the dungeon!" Pilaf's voice shook with panic, his earlier confidence evaporating. Mai and Shu scrambled to his side, pulling out their guns with trembling hands. "Shoot them down! NOW!" Pilaf barked, trying to regain control.
But Naruto was faster than lightning. In a blink of an eye, he disarmed both Mai and Shu, knocking them out cold without breaking a sweat. Pilaf stood there, stunned, watching his last line of defense fall apart like a house of cards.
"Now that's taken care of," Naruto said coolly, turning his attention to the blue imp and brushing him off as if swatting away an insect. "Let's make our wish, Bulma."
Bulma, still slightly awestruck by the dragon towering over them, nodded. Her eyes, however, were filled with hope as she looked up at Shenron. This was her chance, her one shot to bring her father back. But fear gnawed at her heart as well.
Shenron's eyes glowed a fiery red as his voice boomed through the air. "TELL ME YOUR FIRST WISH."
Bulma stepped forward, her heart pounding in her chest. "Shenron... please bring back my father from the dead!" Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke, but her resolve was strong.
The dragon stared at her, his eyes narrowing. "I CANNOT GRANT YOUR WISH," Shenron boomed, his words were final.
Bulma's heart sank into her stomach. "What? But why?" she cried, her voice breaking as her world crumbled around her.
"I CANNOT BRING BACK THOSE WHO HAVE DIED FROM OLD AGE, SICKNESS, OR NATURAL CAUSES," Shenron explained, his voice cold and indifferent.
Bulma fell to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes as sorrow and disappointment crashed over her. "No... no... I was so close," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Naruto knelt beside her, pulling her into a comforting hug. "Bulma, don't cry," the Saiyan whispered. "I know you are feeling hurt. But think of your father, somewhere in heaven he must be watching over you. Your father wouldn't want to see you like this, right? You're strong, you've always been strong."
Bulma sniffled, wiping away her tears as she looked at Naruto's kind face. Her boyfriend was right. Her father passed away without any regrets, surrounded by his family. Really, what would he say if he saw his genius daughter crumbling like this so pitifully? "You're right. My Dad wouldn't want me to fall apart like this," she said, her voice regaining some of its strength, even though the pain was still there. "He'd bonk me on the head for being a crybaby."
Naruto smiled gently, holding her a little tighter, giving her strength. "That's the spirit," Naruto smiled, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "Now, come on. Let's make this wish count."
Bulma nodded, her heart still heavy, but her resolve was returning. She stepped back as Naruto took a deep breath and turned toward Shenron. "Shenron... I wish to know my origin and knowledge about the Saiyan race! Where I came from, why was I sent here? " Naruto's voice rang out with confidence.
Oolong's eyes widened in confusion. "Wait, what? Naruto's not human?" he muttered under his breath.
Shenron's eyes glowed brighter as he locked his gaze on Naruto. "YOUR WISH SHALL BE GRANTED."
Suddenly, a beam of light shot from Shenron's eyes, hitting Naruto square in the forehead. Naruto gasped and fell on his knees as pain exploded in his head. It felt like his mind was being torn apart, so much information and knowledge flooding in all at once. He clutched his head, his body trembling in shock.
"Naruto!" Bulma cried, rushing to his side. "Are you okay? What's happening?!"
But Naruto couldn't answer. His mind was overwhelmed, visions of his race's past, the history of his race, of the mighty Saiyans pouring into him. He saw planets burning, mighty warriors soaring through the stars, and a legacy of power that stretched across the stars. After what felt like an eternity, the pain began to fade, and Naruto slowly opened his eyes.
"I... I know why… why I was sent here…," he whispered, his voice filled with awe and disbelief. With Bulma's help, he stood up, still oriented and dizzy from before. But slowly recovered his senses.
"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED," Shenron declared. "NOW TELL ME YOUR SECOND WISH."
Naruto glanced at Bulma and then at Oolong. "Well, we don't need anything else. Oolong, why don't you take the second wish?"
Oolong's eyes lit up in excitement. "Really?! I can wish for anything?!"
Naruto and Bulma both nodded. Oolong, overcome with excitement, as he started to dream about girls in sexy penties and blurted out without thinking, "I wish for... sexiest and most comfortable girls' panties!" The moment the words left his mouth, Oolong realized his mistake. "Wait! No, I didn't mean…"
Too late. Shenron's eyes flashed red as he granted the wish. A pair of skimpy white panties floated down from the sky, landing squarely on Oolong's head. Naruto and Bulma both facepalmed in unison.
"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. FARE THEE WELL," Shenron's voice rumbled as he began to glow once again, and in a flash, the dragon vanished. The dragon balls shot into the sky, scattering across the Earth once more.
Oolong stood there, the panties still on his head, utterly dumbfounded. "What just happened...?"
Naruto sighed, shaking his head. "Oolong... seriously?"
Bulma couldn't help but laugh through her tears. "Well, at least that blue Imp wish to rule the world didn't happen," she said, wiping her eyes as she tried to find the silver lining.
Naruto grinned. "Yeah, that's one win in the books."
Oolong let out a loud, comical wail as he looked at the pair of panties in his hands. "OOOH MAN, I missed my chance to get a harem!" he cried, shaking his fists at the sky in frustration, cursing himself for his blunder.
Naruto raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Well, don't lose hope, you perverted pig. You can always collect the dragon balls again and make your wish next time," he said in a lighthearted tone.
Oolong's ears perked up, but Bulma quickly dashed his hopes. "There's no collecting any dragon balls for a while," she said, crossing her arms.
Oolong's face looked confused. "Huh? Why not?"
Bulma sighed "Apparently, after wishes are granted, it takes a full year for the Dragon balls to turn back into, well... Dragon balls again. Right now, they're just a bunch of ordinary stones. My radar can't even detect them."
"A year?!" Oolong's face turned pale. "Darn my rotten mouth! I could've had a whole harem, but instead..." He trailed off, holding up the panties in his hand. "At least these panties are comfy... Not a total loss," he muttered, half-defeated, as he placed them on his head like a hat. "What now? Do we all go our separate ways and wait for the dragon balls to come back?"
Bulma shrugged, glancing over at Naruto. "Seems like that's the plan. Everyone does their own thing for a year, I guess." She paused and gave Naruto a soft smile. "Hey, Naruto... why don't you come with me to my home? I'll introduce you to my mom. She's been dying to meet you since I told her all about you." She winked playfully, trying to lighten the mood.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head with a grin. "That sounds great, Bulma, but I need to meet my Dad first. How about this? You and I go to my place first, then I'll take you to your city after that?" His voice was sincere, and Bulma could feel Naruto might have unfinished business at home. After a moment of thought, she nodded.
"Alright, sounds like a plan." Bulma smiled.
Naruto turned to Oolong, extending his hand. "I guess this is goodbye, for now, Oolong. Thanks for everything." There was genuine respect in Naruto's voice as they shook hands.
"Don't make it sound like we're never going to meet again!" Oolong grinned, though his voice cracked with emotion. "I'll be around, and don't forget about me when you're out there kicking butt."
Bulma stepped up to Oolong, her tone a bit softer. "We won't forget you, Oolong. If you need the dragon radar or anything else, just give me a call, alright?"
Oolong nodded, his heart warming a little. "Thanks, guys..." He hesitated before asking sheepishly, "Can I keep the mobile home?"
Naruto laughed. "Sure, we don't need it. I can just fly us to Bulma's place." Without warning, Naruto scooped Bulma up into his arms, holding her in a bridal style that made her blush slightly. Oolong gave them a small wave as Naruto took off, flying into the sky with Bulma nestled in his arms. "See you around, Oolong!" they both shouted as they soared away into the horizon.
Oolong watched them disappear, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. "Yeah, see you soon, guys," he whispered to himself before heading off, feeling a strange sense of pride at being part of their adventure, even if his wish had gone horribly wrong.
Hours later
The sun had risen, casting a golden glow over the land. Pilaf, Mai, and Shu stirred from unconsciousness, their bodies aching from the swift defeat Naruto had dealt them. Groaning, Pilaf slowly sat up, rubbing his head as he looked around.
"Wh-what happened...? Where is the dragon?!" Pilaf's voice was filled with panic as his eyes darted around the clearing, searching for any sign of Shenron or the Dragon Balls.
"Lord Pilaf..." Mai said, her voice trembling as she stumbled to her feet. "I think... I think those three already made their wish."
Pilaf's face twisted in pure despair as the realization hit him. His eyes widened, and a painful scream tore from his throat. "WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He stood up shakily, fists clenched at his sides as he looked up at the now clear, calm sky. "My dream... I was so close... SO CLOSE!" His voice cracked, and he fell to his knees, slamming his fists into the ground. "How could this happen?! I was supposed to rule the world!" Tears welled up in his eyes as he trembled with rage and sorrow.
Mai and Shu exchanged nervous glances, unsure of how to console their devastated leader. "We can always try again next year, Lord Pilaf," Shu offered meekly, though the suggestion seemed to fall on deaf ears.
"I don't want next year!" Pilaf screamed, pounding the ground again. "I want the world to kneel before me NOW!"
Mai sighed quietly, patting Pilaf on the shoulder, though she knew there was little they could do now. "We'll try again, Lord Pilaf. Next time, we'll be ready. We'll have another plan..."
Pilaf sniffled, his pride shattered, but somewhere in the depths of his failure, a little determination remained. "Yes..." he muttered. "Yes, we will. And when that time comes... the world will tremble before Emperor Pilaf!"
Mai and Shu looked at each other, offering silent nods of support. This setback wasn't the end. Pilaf's quest for power wasn't over, not by a long shot.
…
As Naruto and Bulma soared through the sky, the vibrant green islands below caught Bulma's attention. The beauty of the landscape was breathtaking, filled with lush trees and wildlife that seemed to thrive in the sunlight. She marveled at the view, "Hey, Naruto, when do you think we'll reach your house?"
"Soon." Naruto pointed at the islands below. "Bulma, look! Those islands belong to my Dad." His voice brimmed with nostalgia as he recalled the memories. "I used to train there with him all the time."
"Wow, they look amazing!" Bulma exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, what's your Dad like?"
Naruto chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Oh, he's a nice guy, super strong, too... but he's also a bit of a pervert."
"Like you?" Bulma teased, raising an eyebrow.
Naruto laughed heartily. "No way! He's way worse than I am!" He winked, then playfully warned, "Just be careful around him, he might try to grope you!"
Bulma rolled her eyes, but a smile crept onto her face. "Great, I'll keep that in mind."
Suddenly, Naruto's expression brightened. "Look, it's my house! See?" He pointed down, and Bulma could see a quaint little home nestled on a small island surrounded by palm trees.
"Wow, it's so cute!" Bulma complimented as Naruto descended and gently set her down on the ground. As she straightened her clothes and took a deep breath, ready to meet his Dad, Naruto shouted, "Hey, Dad! I'm back!"
They stepped inside the house, and what they found left Bulma wide-eyed. Master Roshi was glued to the tv screen, seemingly oblivious to their entrance as he watched porn, those scenes playing on the screen told it was a rather inappropriate film even for porn.
"See? I told you," Naruto said, shaking his head with an amused grin. Bulma turned her gaze away from the screen, her cheeks flushed.
"HEY, OLD MAN! I'M BACK!" Naruto shouted again, a playful edge to his voice.
Roshi freaked out, scrambling to turn off the screen. When he finally registered that Naruto was home, his eyes widened in surprise. "My boy! You're back!" He rushed over and enveloped Naruto in a bear hug, lifting him off the ground. Bulma was a little surprised seeing the old man's strength, despite looking so… Old.
Naruto chuckled as he returned the embrace. "Good to see you, Dad."
"Why are you back so early?" Roshi asked, tilting his head in confusion. "Not that I mind. Don't tell me you gave up already!"
"I'm done hunting for the dragon balls, Dad. I got my wish granted!" Naruto declared, watching as his father's expression shifted from confusion to shock.
"Really? And you brought someone with you?" Roshi's eyes darted over to Bulma.
Naruto nodded, gesturing towards her. "This is Bulma."
"It's nice to meet you, Master Roshi. My name is Bulma," she introduced herself, giving a polite bow.
Roshi nodded, a wide grin spreading across his face as he eyed Bulma appreciatively. "Oh, so this is the famous Bulma I've heard about! She's quite beautiful!" His tone shifted slightly, a mischievous glimmer in his eye. "So, she's your girlfriend?" He teased his son.
Naruto dropped the bomb, his voice filled with excitement. "Yeah, she is!"
Roshi's jaw dropped, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. "My boy! I've never felt prouder of you!" he exclaimed, letting out a perverted giggle. "You totally scored a hot babe at your age! Even though I didn't get a girlfriend until much later."
"Knock it off, old man!" Naruto laughed, shaking his head in embarrassment, but he couldn't hide the proud smile on his face.
"Come, sit down!" Roshi urged, gesturing towards the sofa. "I'll get us some drinks!" He disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Naruto and Bulma to exchange glances.
"That's your Dad? He seems nice," Bulma said as she settled into the sofa.
After a few moments, Roshi returned with three glasses of cola, handing one to each of them. They chatted comfortably, getting to know one another. Bulma told Roshi about herself and how she had met Naruto during their adventures. The more she spoke, the more intrigued Roshi became, especially when he learned that Bulma was the owner of Capsule Corp despite being so young, the world's largest company.
"Wow, I'm impressed!" Roshi exclaimed, leaning forward with enthusiasm. "I have only heard about your geniuses on the TV but You must be quite the businesswoman too!"
"Thanks, Master Roshi! But I Am less a businesswoman and more of a genius scientist and inventor. It's been quite a journey to the top, to say the least," Bulma replied, feeling a swell of pride.
After sharing stories, Roshi's curiosity got the best of him. "So, what was your wish, Naruto?"
Naruto's expression turned serious as he recounted his encounter with the dragon. "I wished for the knowledge of my Saiyan race … but honestly, it's a lot to take in. I can barely remember all of it."
Bulma leaned in, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Can you tell us more about Saiyans? I really want to know about them!"
Naruto nodded, sensing the interest in her voice. "Sure! Saiyans are an endangered race of sapient humanoids, known for being incredibly aggressive warriors. We're one of the strongest species in the universe." He paused, remembering the past. "We look a lot like humans, except we have monkey-like tails and muscular builds. Our hair is usually spiky, too."
"Endangered? Are you telling me you're the last one of your race?" Roshi asked, concern appearing on his face.
Naruto sighed, as he recalled the knowledge the dragon gave him. "I'm afraid so. A frost demon named Frieza wiped out the Saiyan race along with our planet."
"That's horrible!" Bulma gasped, her eyes wide with horror. "How can someone do something so cruel?!"
Roshi nodded solemnly, feeling a chill at the thought of such evil existing in the universe. "It's terrifying to think that someone so powerful and cruel could exist."
"Yeah…" Naruto replied, his gaze turning distant as he recalled the memories of his lost people. "But I've got to keep moving forward, for their sake." Roshi gave a silent seldom look to his son. He knew what he meant but he knew his son was stronger than that.
Roshi leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. "Can you tell us more about your race, Naruto? I want to hear everything!" Bulma too was curious.
Naruto took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts, the flood of Saiyan history swirling in his mind. He looked at Bulma and Roshi, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concern, and continued, "First, I have to warn you, I don't know everything right now. I should have asked the dragon to give me the information slowly. Years of history just crashed into my mind all at once, so it's hard to remember everything clearly. But here's what I do know about the Saiyans…"
He shifted in his seat, his tone becoming more serious. "The Saiyans originated from a planet called Sadala in the Sylia galaxy. They were a group of barbaric aliens, living on the outskirts of the Tuffles' advanced cities. The Tuffles, who were very technologically advanced, had migrated from their own dying planet. When they arrived in Sadala, they built a thriving civilization, while the Saiyans lived in the wastelands."
Naruto's eyes darkened as he recounted the grim history. "Because the Saiyans were less intelligent and primitive compared to the Tuffles, they were hunted like animals."
Bulma gasped, her hand covering her mouth in shock. "That's terrible! How could they let that happen?"
Naruto continued, his voice steady but tinged with sadness. "But the Tuffles had no idea that the Saiyans, despite their lack of technology, would eventually take the whole planet for themselves and annihilate their race. About eighty thousand years ago, a war broke out. The Saiyans tried many times to overthrow the Tuffles, but they were outnumbered and outgunned. The Tuffles had advanced technology and advanced weaponry to keep them at bay."
"Then one night, everything changed. The Saiyans transformed into Oozaru under the light of the full moon, gaining incredible power from the 'Blutz Waves' that only came once every hundred years from the planet's biggest moon. With this new strength, they finally annihilated the Tuffles."
Roshi leaned forward, his eyes wide. "That's brutal but the Tuffles faced their karma. But then what happened?"
Naruto took a moment to collect his thoughts, "After their victory, the Saiyans didn't know how to expand beyond Sadala, they didn't have the technology to build spaceships. Their desire for conquest was put on hold until the Arcosians arrived. They formed an alliance with the Saiyans, promising to share their technology in exchange for the Saiyans' help in conquering other planets."
Bulma's brow furrowed as she absorbed the information. "And that's when they started to become more advanced?"
"Not exactly. Over time, the Saiyans learned to use the Tuffles' advanced technology and became a little smarter, though their lust for fighting and destruction didn't go away. They became known as one of the strongest races in the Sylia galaxy and were feared for their ability to recover and grow stronger after major injuries."
Naruto paused, letting the gravity of the Saiyan legacy settle in. "They began conquering planets for resources or simply destroying them for fun. But fifty thousand years after the great war, planet Sadala was destroyed."
Bulma's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How did that happen, Naruto?"
He looked down for a moment, gathering his thoughts "Sadala was destroyed because of internal conflict among the Saiyans. When They grew so arrogant that they severed ties with both old and new allies. For generations, the Saiyans continued their rampage, conquering worlds and destroying anything that stood in their way, all to prove their strength. And everyone saw them as nothing more than savage beasts."
Bulma frowned, her brow furrowed in empathy. "It sounds like a tragic cycle of violence. But what changed? Didn't anyone try to stop them?"
Naruto nodded, encouraged by her interest. "Eventually, a group of the strongest Saiyans rebelled against the king and the royal family. They gathered about a third of the Saiyan population, advocating for a change in their ways. They believed that their power should be used for good, to help those who couldn't defend themselves. Their goal was to change the way the universe viewed the Saiyans, and they knew that the only way to do that was to overthrow the corrupt regime. A great civil war broke out among the Saiyans."
Bulma felt a shiver run down her spine. "Wow, It's hard to believe that such a powerful race could fall apart like that," Bulma said, her eyes widening with fascination.
Roshi shook his head, a solemn expression on his face. "It's a reminder that strength alone isn't enough. Without wisdom and unity, even the mightiest can fall."
"It's like a classic battle between good and evil. So, which side won? Did the good Saiyans triumph?"
Naruto chuckled softly at her enthusiasm but shook his head. "The sad truth is, neither side won the war. It was so intense that both factions ultimately destroyed each other, along with the planet itself. But the evil king was cunning enough to send his offspring and a few hundred loyal Saiyans to another planet in a different galaxy. That planet became known as Planet Vegeta."
Roshi raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "And what happened to the Saiyans after that?"
Naruto leaned back, his expression growing somber. "Well, here's the twist, despite having advanced technology and the knowledge to use it, the Saiyans never bothered to educate themselves or learn about the universe. They remained barbarians in every sense. Even after being freed from the Tuffles, they didn't evolve. For fifty thousand years, they were stuck in their primal ways."
Bulma gasped in shock. "You mean to tell me that after all that time, they never thought to pursue knowledge or science? That they could have risen to new heights?"
"No," Naruto replied, his voice heavy with regret. "They were known as savage barbarians and wild animals of the universe. At that time, Saiyans were fifteen to twenty feet tall, looking like cave people, their intellect buried under their brute strength. All the technology they used to expand across the galaxy was either given or stolen from others."
Bulma's eyes were wide with disbelief. "That's insane! So, what happened to them?"
"When Planet Sadala was destroyed, everyone in the Sylia galaxy thought the Saiyans were gone for good. Every planet they conquered was freed, and any records of their history were mostly erased. On Planet Vegeta, the surviving Saiyans were stranded. They had no idea how to rebuild their society or create new technology. Slowly, they fell into a sort of stone age."
Naruto smiled as he continued. "But just like humans, they evolved. Their bodies became smaller, and their brains grew larger, allowing them to think critically and come up with original ideas. They built a new society and culture, entirely different from what they had before."
"Really?" Bulma asked, her interest piqued. "So they changed?"
"Exactly. Over the next twenty thousand years, the Saiyans developed into a completely different species. They built a great civilization and advanced technology of their own. By then, they looked very similar to humans, no longer the savage barbarians they once were. The only remnants of their past were their monkey-like tails and strong builds, along with their ability to transform into Oozaru."
Bulma smiled, a mix of admiration and relief on her face. "That's amazing! So they learned from their mistakes and adapted."
Naruto nodded, feeling a swell of pride. "Yes, and with their newfound intelligence and technology, they began to explore and conquer other planets in their new galaxy. They finally started to carve out a legacy that wasn't just about destruction. But they were more advanced and, importantly, smarter. They still believed in strength, but now they also acknowledged the power of knowledge and its benefits."
Bulma listened intently, her eyes widening. "What about their history? Did they remember anything about their past?"
Naruto continued, "They forgot everything about Planet Sadala and the savage lives they once led. The only history they held was about their battles with the Tuffles and the civil war that ultimately led to their planet's destruction. They didn't know they used to be savage barbarians of space, to them, their true origins and powers became myths and fairy tales."
Roshi interjected, "But they still had a royal family, right?"
"Yes," Naruto replied, "Despite being just a shadow of their former selves, the new Saiyans had a royal family that ruled them. In just two thousand years, they regained lost conquered worlds and rebuilt their reputation across the universe. They became known as a race of the strongest warriors again."
Bulma's curiosity was piqued. "And then what happened?"
Naruto sighed, his expression growing serious. "Their resurgence caught the attention of a powerful being, a frost demon named King Cold, the conqueror of many galaxies. King Cold sought to add the Saiyans to his army, but they were proud and fought back. Unfortunately, they were no match for him, and nearly got wiped out in the battle. Ultimately, they admitted defeat and were absorbed into King Cold's empire, forced to serve as soldiers in his military."
"And then?" Bulma urged, leaning in closer.
"After Three thousand years of ruling the empire, King Cold retired and passed his empire to his son, Frieza," Naruto concluded, his voice heavy with history.
Roshi's brow furrowed in confusion. "But why did Frieza kill your race, son? The Saiyans were powerful beings. Eradicating them seems like a foolish decision. Wouldn't that weaken his own army?"
Bulma nodded, agreeing with Roshi. "It doesn't make sense. Why kill such a strong part of your military?"
Naruto thought hard, frustration building as he searched for an answer. "I don't know. Either the dragon didn't provide me with this information, or I just can't remember it right now."
Both Roshi and Bulma sensed the tension in the air and decided not to press further. Instead, Bulma shifted the conversation. "So how did you end up on Earth?"
"The only thing I know for sure," Naruto began, his voice quivering slightly, "is that I was born with a high power level, even though I was a low-class Saiyan. The royal family didn't like the idea of low-class Saiyans being strong. They would kill any Saiyan child born strong without royal ties. My parents must have sent me here for my own safety."
His voice cracked as he continued, "They promised to come for me afterward, but… I guess they were killed along with the rest of the Saiyan race." Tears welled in his eyes, and he struggled to hold them back.
Seeing her boyfriend in such an emotional state, Bulma immediately wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a comforting embrace. "I'm so sorry, Naruto," she whispered, her voice soothing. "You're not alone anymore. You have me. You have us."
Roshi watched the young couple with a smile, feeling the warmth spread through him. It made him happy to see his son cared for in such a way. He may not have been great at emotional moments, but he wanted to offer Naruto some guidance. "Naruto, no matter what, Earth will always be your home," he said softly. "Live on. Not just for yourself, but for your parents as well. Make them proud by living your life to the fullest."
As they continued to talk, Naruto felt a warm sense of belonging wash over him. Surrounded by Bulma and his father, he realized again he had a family, a family that would support him in his journey ahead.
After sharing these heartfelt moments, the trio glanced at the clock and realized it was already noon. "We should eat, I'm starving!" Bulma exclaimed, trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, let's do that," Naruto agreed, grateful for the shift in conversation. Roshi went to the kitchen to get some food for the night, giving the young couple some space. Naruto decided to show Bulma his space pod.
When they reached it, Bulma gasped, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Wow! This is incredible! The technology is so advanced! Can I study it?"
Naruto grinned, his heart swelling with pride. "Of course! I'd love to share it with you."
Overcome with joy, Bulma squealed like a little girl and kissed Naruto on the lips. The kiss was sweet and filled with love. As they pulled away, Bulma's face was flushed with excitement. "Thank you, Naruto! This is going to be so much fun!"
Naruto chuckled, feeling lighter. "I'm glad you're excited. It's just the beginning." Soon The three of them settled down to eat, the earlier emotions now replaced with laughter and warmth.
…
That night, in the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the curtains, Naruto and Bulma lay together in his bed, their bodies intertwined under the covers. Bulma shifted slightly, looking up at Naruto with a playful glint in her eyes. "So, Naruto, you're basically the last of your race. Have you thought about how you might repopulate your kind?" she asked, her tone teasing.
Naruto chuckled, running a hand through his spiky hair. "I didn't really think about that," he admitted. "Besides, I'm like 14," he added with a laugh.
Bulma giggled at his response, her laughter brightening the dim room. "I forget sometimes that you're younger than me," she said, her voice softening. "But if you ever want to repopulate your race, you'll have to marry multiple women."
"Yeah, that's every guy's dream," Naruto joked, a hint of blush creeping onto his cheeks. "But don't worry, I have you, and that's all I need."
Bulma smirked, her playful side coming to the forefront. "What if I told you I'd be okay with you having multiple women?"
Naruto turned serious for a moment, meeting her gaze with a hint of concern. "Bulma, we just started our relationship. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Even if I did have multiple women, YOU would always be my favorite," he said, his voice sincere as he hugged her tightly.
Bulma melted into his embrace, resting her head on his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her ear. "You're sweet, Naruto," she murmured, feeling warmth radiate from his body. "But I'd like to think I could be your only one, at least for now."
A shiver ran down Naruto's spine as he finally let himself get lost in the moment, closing the distance between them. Their lips met in a soft, warm kiss that quickly ignited into something deeper, more passionate. The world outside faded away as they explored the warmth and sweetness of each other's arms.
