"W-What the…?!" Naruto Uzumaki had his eyes raised comically as he watched the scene in front of him unfold. He was currently witnessing Goku eating more than fifty bowls of ramen, which flabbergasted even Sakura and Ibiki. A bead of sweat dropped from Teuchi's forehead as Goku requested, "More, please!"

"M-More?! You're eating wayyy too much! I have NEVER seen anyone eat like that!" Naruto stated incredulously.

Goku gobbled his current bowl of ramen in just a few seconds and looked to his right at Naruto, chuckling sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I've just been feeling very hungry after that battle I had with Freeza."

"F-Freeza?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

Teuchi handed another bowl of ramen to Goku, and the Saiyan took a slurp of it, before placing it down on the table. "Freeza is this really bad guy I had fought on another planet. I'll explain everything once I'm done eating."

"Another planet?" Sakura was baffled.

"Oye, Goku, I know how ramen tastes, and I do love ramen, but I won't be able to pay for all the food you've consumed if you continue further." Naruto said in dismay.

Goku finished his last bowl of ramen and chuckled nervously. "S-Sorry about that. But man, Ichiraku ramen is amazing!"

After paying for Goku's large apetite, Naruto said, "I'm glad someone feels the same way as I do about ramen… but…" he frowned, staring at his empty gamakichi money pouch. "All my hard-earned savings…"

Ibiki widened his eyes, surprised. "This Goku… He's incredible… His appetite is even more than Naruto's… And what did he mean by 'another planet'?"

Sakura nodded. "That's what I'm wondering as well…"

Ibiki thought to himself, "Maybe Inoichi knows something about this… I'll most likely find out about it soon as well unless it gets classified as top secret."

Goku stood up from his tall bar stool and looked at Naruto with a smile. "Thanks a ton, Naruto! I'm back to one hundred percent now!"

Naruto's shoulders slumped with a dejected look on his face. "N-No problem…" as his head hung low. He then remembered what Goku had said earlier and looked back up. "Oh yeah… You mentioned something about fighting on another planet… and something about Freeza or whatever… What was that about?"

Goku nodded. "Yeah. Before accidentally coming here, I had fought a really evil guy called Freeza. He was super strong, but I finally managed to make it out alive thanks to one of the spaceships from the Ginyu Force."

"Wait, hold on…" Ibiki intervened. "Before we continue further, let's go somewhere quiet and have a chat about this."

Naruto glanced behind his shoulder at Ibiki. "Huh? Why do you want to go elsewhere?"

Ibiki had a serious look on his face. "I have a feeling what Goku is about to tell us might become Konoha's top secret info."

"Where do we go?" Sakura wondered.

"The training grounds. I'll see you there." Ibiki answered before suddenly disappearing using the Body Flicker Technique.

"And he's gone…" Naruto sighed.

"We should go there as well." Sakura insisted.

Goku looked to his right. "I just saw Ibiki travel to that direction," pointing over to the yonder.

"Hold on a minute… You were able to see which direction he went?" Sakura asked in disbelief.

Goku glanced at Sakura and nodded. "Yeah. He seemed to be pretty fast, but I saw him clearly go that way."

"Huh? It only looked like he disappeared to me…" Naruto admitted.

Sakura looked at where Goku was pointing, and noticed it was the direction to the training grounds. "Wow… I don't get it… The Body Flicker technique allows a user to move at an almost untraceable speed… So how did you see him so easily…?"

Naruto got excited. "Woah! Wait! Maybe you're like actually super strong?"

Goku laughed lightheartedly. "Well, I have been training since I was a kid, thanks to my late Grandpa."

"Woah… No way…" Sakura was amazed. "You must be an exceptionally skilled ninja!"

"I'm not a ninja, but a martial artist," Goku admitted. "So the technique that guy used was called the Body Flicker Technique? I hope I can learn that too!"

"A Martial artist?" Naruto wondered.

"Wait… You can't use the body flicker technique…? Do you at least know how to utilize your chakra?' Sakura asked.

"I don't know what this Chakra is… At first, I thought it was food." Goku admitted.

"How do you not know what Chakra is?" Naruto was perplexed.

"Hey, guys. We were supposed to meet Ibiki, right? Let's go to the training grounds, and we can discuss further." Sakura said.

"Alright!"

And with that, the trio headed over to the training grounds. Unbeknownst to them, a figure in the shadows was secretly watching them from a nearby alley. Apparently, it was a member of Root, Danzo's training division. The underling of Danzo muttered to himself, "Gotta report this to Lord Danzo…" and with that, he disappeared from sight using the body flicker technique.


With Inoichi – Hokage's office

"And that's how Goku got here…" Inoichi had just finished explaining about Goku's past. From the events of Goku's childhood, till the Namek Saga. During the revelation, Tsunade intently listened. Often, she would widen her eyes in shock hearing some of the details, but remained quiet till Inoichi was done talking nonetheless. Once Inoichi affirmed that he was done revealing everything, Tsuande unlaced her fingers and kept her hands on her table. She began, "Inoichi… You have served and protected the village for decades, and I truly appreciate your efforts… But this… This is something totally out of this world…"

Inoichi sighed. "Lady Tsunade, I know it's hard to believe, but–"

"Oh, I do believe you. You're one of our most trusted special corps after all. But the whole thing seems bizarre… Aliens, outer space, different planets, and a tryant named Freeza? We were lucky enough that our planet wasn't invaded by the Planet Trade Organization… But now that Goku is here, it could mean the endangerment of our planet."

Kakashi and Jiraiya were intently listening, as they were shocked as well. Kakashi decided to ask, "What do we do now, Lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade smiled confidently. "I'd like to test out Goku's strength… While he may impose dangers… if we can get him on our side… he would be a valuable asset to the Leaf Village. In addition to that, I'm curious to see how strong he is… Ability to even destroy planets? That's frightening to hear. Inoichi, you mentioned that Goku and his friends use Ki, right?"

Inoichi nodded. "That's right. It's completely different from Chakra itself. Although Chakra shares some properties of Ki, Ki itself is far more advanced and useful from what I could tell from reading Goku's mind."

Tsunade sighed. "I see… In that case, I'll be calling Naruto, Sakura, and Goku to the training field. Kakashi will square up against his students, while I'll go against Goku."

Jiraya contemplated for a moment before saying, "This information will most likely be an S Class Top secret… If the villagers found out about this, it would surely cause havoc."

"Still… I'm shocked…Beings that could destroy literal planets… It's… shocking…" Tsunade trembled a bit in fear. "Once Naruto and the others are rested enough, we will call them to the training grounds.


Back with Naruto and the others – Training Grounds

"Almost done…" Sakura said under her breath. She had her palms placed on Goku's back while the Saiyan was sitting down on the side of a fallen log. The kunoichi was using his healing ability to heal the rest of Goku's wounds, the very same wounds he had sustained during his battle with Freeza. Goku thought to himself, "Wow… It's like Dende's healing powers, only a bit slower, but it should still do."

After a few more seconds went by, Sakura placed her hands down freely to her sides and smiled. "There, I'm done."

Goku glanced behind his shoulder at Sakura while still sitting on the wooden log and smiled. "Thanks a bunch! Where did you learn that?"

"Lady Tsunade thought me medical Ninjutsu."

"Tsunade… The lady from before…? She must be the one of the people who interrogated me…" Goku thought to himself.

"So… What was this Freeza thing about? And what did you mean by 'another planet'?" Naruto asked curiously whilst standing in front of Goku. Ibiki leaned his back against a nearby tree and folded his arms, intently listening to the conversation that was about to unfold.

Goku displayed a serious look on his face. "Alright, I'll cut right to the chase… I'm a Saiyan raised on Earth. But I had originally come from a different planet called Planet Vegeta."

"What's a Saiyan?" Naruto was baffled.

"And who is this Freeza guy?" Sakura wondered.

"Freeza… He's a really terrible guy… He was mercilessly killing people from different planets for his own twisted glory… He tried to terrorize another planet where these things called Dragon Balls existed. But I was able to defeat him in the end. Although Planet Namek has been blown up, I'm pretty sure Gohan and the others will use the Dragon Balls on Earth to restore Namek back." Goku explained.

"Goku… Maybe it'd be easier if you just explained right from the start. We're kind of lost here." Ibiki suggested.

Goku grinned and rubbed the back of his head. "Oh, right! Sorry about that!"

However, before the Saiyan could say another word, a voice said, "I didn't expect for you guys to be in the training grounds already.

Goku stood up from the wooden log he was sitting on and looked to his left. Inoichi had appeared right next to Ibiki, along with Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Naruto looked at the three newcomers and smiled. "Pervy Sage, Old Lady Tsunade, and Ino's dad!"

Ibiki cocked his body upright away from the tree he was earlier leaning on and sidled over to Inoichi. "I'm assuming the briefing is done?"

Inoichi looked to his right at his partner and nodded. "Yes. I will brief you about everything as well. However, whatever I'm about to tell you is an S-Class Secret."

Tsunade folded her arms and took a few steps forward. "We will start now with your training. Kakashi will be testing both of your strengths."

"Kakashi-sensei? Where is he?" Sakura wondered.

"I'm right here," Kakashi said from the top of a tree branch. The copycat ninja plopped onto the ground and waved. "Yo." He had apparently gotten down from the tree Ibiki was earlier leaning on.

Goku looked excited. "Oh! Is there going to be some sort of fight?"

Tsunade smirked. "That's right… And you'll be joining Naruto and Sakura as well. However, to make things fair, Kakashi will be paired up with me."

Naruto placed his hands behind his back head and grinned like a fox. "That's still two versus three, you know."

Jiraiya chuckled. "Tsunade is the Hokage of our village. I'm sure that you know how monstrous her strength is, right?"

"Count me in!" Goku took a few steps forward, before standing next to Naruto. "I'm ready when you are." he said with a confident smirk.
