Naruto concluded his training session, a mix of excitement and anticipation swelling within him. "Vegito-sensei, I've finished! What should I do next?" he thought as he stepped out of the training grounds.

"Why don't you head home? On the way, I'll finally explain what happened to your parents and how I ended up here," Vegito replied within Naruto's mind.

"Alright," Naruto responded, curiosity piqued.

"It all began five years ago on your birthday…" Vegito started.


-Flashback: Five Years Ago-

"Prepare yourself, Minato! I'm coming for you!" Madara bellowed, charging towards the Fourth Hokage.

Meanwhile, far away, a green dragon conversed with a tall man possessing spiky black hair. "Goku, it seems your assistance is required once more," the dragon, Shenron, announced.

"Are you certain they're ready for my return? I don't see any formidable foes around," Goku replied, pondering deeply.

"Yes, it's time. But first, you must fuse with Vegeta and teach a special boy everything you know," Shenron insisted.

"What? You mean the fusion dance?" Goku asked, incredulous.

"No, I'm referring to the Potara earrings," Shenron clarified.

"I doubt Vegeta would agree to that," Goku protested.

"Let's ask him," Shenron suggested, and with a flash, Vegeta materialized before them.

"Now, Vegeta, how do you feel about fusing with Goku and training a young boy?" Shenron inquired.

"I'm fine with it, as long as it gets me out of this situation," Vegeta replied, crossing his arms.

"Very well, it's settled," Shenron declared. With a flick of his eyes, earrings appeared on both Goku and Vegeta. In a brilliant flash of light, they fused into a single warrior, sporting a blue suit with an orange undershirt.

"Listen closely, Vegito. A demon known as the Nine-Tails is being sealed within a boy named Uzumaki Naruto. I will place you both within the seal, and you must suppress the demon's power using your ki," Shenron instructed.

"Wait, how can you transform him into a Saiyan?" Vegito asked, surprised.

"I am Shenron, the great dragon. I can do as I please," he replied, causing Vegito to sweatdrop. "You will retain all your transformations, but I'm blocking Super Saiyan God Blue for now. You'll need to earn it."

Shenron continued, "Train Naruto to become a Super Saiyan. Powerful enemies are on the horizon. He will need a fusion partner. Once you train him sufficiently, Vegeta will be sent to another boy named Uchiha Sasuke. You will remain in these forms until they can defeat you in one-on-one combat."

With that, Shenron vanished, leaving Vegito to gaze at baby Naruto, who was glowing faintly.

"He's now a Saiyan," Shenron had proclaimed, and in an instant, a tail sprouted from Naruto, and his hair shifted to black. "Train him well; he is destined for greatness."


-Flashback Ends-

"Wow! Is that really what happened? Is that why I have a tail? Who is this Sasuke?" Naruto bombarded Vegito with questions, making the seasoned warrior sweatdrop.

"Yes, that's the story. I'm here to train you. Thanks to your Kage Bunshin technique, you're already at Majin Buu level—though, regrettably, the fat version," Vegito replied. "We'll learn about Sasuke soon enough. In a week, once you turn six, Vegeta will discover him. For now, let's review your skills tomorrow."

As Naruto began to drift off, Vegito watched him with a mix of pride and concern. "You're a training prodigy, Naruto. Your power level is approaching mine. It's fortunate I taught you to conceal it; otherwise, the village would swarm around you," he thought, glancing at the giant gate marked "Seal." "If only the Nine-Tails could collaborate with Naruto… they'd be unstoppable."


The Next Morning

At the training ground, Vegito called out, "Alright, Naruto! Show me what you've got!"

Naruto assumed a fighting stance and executed the famous jutsu. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he declared, summoning six clones.

The clones charged at him, and Naruto swiftly blocked their attacks. Meanwhile, three clones prepared powerful energy blasts: one Kamehameha, one Final Flash, and one new technique Naruto had invented, the Spirit Flash.

After combining the Spirit Bomb with the Final Flash, Naruto unleashed a destructive beam. As the clones attacked, he merged a Kamehameha and a Galick Gun into a new technique: the Kamehame Gun.

"Were you trying to kill me? Or is the author just crazy?" Naruto exclaimed as he dodged the beams, which flew off into the sky.

"Alright, that's enough," Vegito said, smirking. "We've seen all we need. You're making great progress."

Naruto felt a mix of joy and disappointment, knowing he had the rest of the day free. As he wandered the village, he encountered glares and whispers from the townsfolk.

"Get away from me, demon!" a shopkeeper shouted, kicking him out of his store.

Hungry and disheartened, Naruto spotted a small ramen shop: Ichiraku Ramen. He entered, and the owner approached him.

"What can I get you, little boy? Where are your parents?" he asked, scanning for anyone else.

"I don't have parents. They died. I'm just an orphan," Naruto replied, looking down.

"No parents? Poor boy," the owner said, his expression softening. "You're welcome here anytime. Free meal on me. Just ask."

"I'll take chicken ramen, please," Naruto said, his eyes lighting up.

A few minutes later, the owner returned with a steaming bowl. "Enjoy, Naruto! Hope you like it," he said with a warm smile.

Naruto took a bite, his eyes shining with delight as he devoured the meal faster than any five-year-old should be able to. In that moment, he realized he had found a place where he could truly enjoy himself.
