Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto or Dragon Ball Z
"No...No, absolutely not. Do you know how long I've been searching for these? Four years. I've spent four years scouring the Earth and now that I've found six of the seven you want me to just hand them over? And to you of all people?"
Wringing her hands together Bulma looked down at Krillin who shrugged helplessly. Of course, he wasn't going to help. It wasn't him the blonde android was pissed at. It was her. And no way was a coward like Krillin going to try and fight someone who could go toe to toe with Goku. "Kami, why are men so useless?"
She didn't want to fight with Naruto, and they needed his six dragon balls to bring Goku back to life. Which meant her feminine charms were needed.
"Four years, isn't that a long time to hold a grudge?" She asked batting her eyes leaning closer to the teenager.
"No. I stand by what I told you at the World Martial arts tournament four years ago when you refused to give me the Dragon Radar. I'm never forgiving you." Android nine, now Naruto Uzumaki said crossing his arms as he stared at Bulma Briefs.
It had been nearly half a decade since he saw her in person but the news had never failed to remind him that while he traversed scorching deserts and the coldest mountains she was living life like a princess. Rich, beautiful and dating her crush Yamcha. She had everything she wanted and was happy while he spent his days trying to become something other than a weapon.
And now here she was. Asking him to give away the only chance he had of becoming human again.
"Naruto, please," Krillin begged. "Goku's dead and we need to the dragon balls to wish him back to life before the Saiyans arrive?"
"Saiyans?"
Slapping a hand over his mouth Krillin looked up at Bulma is eyes wide with fear at what he would see. The blue haired heiress had been very clear that telling people about the super strong guys coming to destroy their world wasn't a good idea. "Oh, why did I have to go and open my big mouth."
"There a group of aliens from space. Goku's brother came here looking for him two weeks ago and kidnapped Goku's son, Gohan. To get him back, Goku teamed up with Piccolo and fought Raditz. But he was still too powerful and Goku died in the battle. After that Piccolo took Gohan to train him so he can help fight the Saiyans when they get here and try to destroy the Earth.
Krillin's jaw hung open as Bulma literally told Naruto everything she had wanted to keep a secret. If he had spilled the beans she would have screamed until his ears fell off. But she could tell him.
"So Goku's an alien." Naruto nodded to himself. That made sense and explained a few things. Such as the man's tail. What human had a tail?
That information while surprising wasn't too much of a shock.
However, the young blonde android frowned. Bulma's story answered the questions he had on the crazy power level that had appeared on the planet two weeks ago. He had been halfway around the world and could feel the overwhelming strength of who he assumed was Goku's brother, Raditz. There was no other explanation. If the power level he felt was Piccolo, the green man would have gone after Goku, and he had been keeping an eye on Goku hoping to get a chance to steal the four-star ball from him so he had a good read on how strong the man was.
"How strong are these Saiyans?" He asked looking away from Bulma and down at Krillin.
While not on his level, the monk was more of a fighter than Bulma and would be able to give him a more accurate answer. If it was out of his range he would concede the Dragon balls, but if he was strong enough to handle these 'Saiyans' Goku was staying dead.
"Oh..um..." Krillin stuttered and looked up to Bulma who rolled her eyes.
"Raditz had a power level of 1500," Bulma said with a smirk as she reached up to the strange device on her face. "Let's see how you stack up. Maybe if you realize how much we need Goku, you will be more willing to hand over your balls."
Naruto smirked right back. "I'm still a few years shy of eighteen, but if you're willing."
Scoffing Bulma powered her scouter up and locked onto Naruto. As the device beeped rapidly before settling she laughed when she read the numbers before her eye. "Ha! Only fifty, you're even weaker than Krillin and Master Roshi. You must have been slacking on your training these past few years."
"Bulma, he's suppressing his power," Krillin explained slightly miffed at the jab towards his fighting skills. Learning he was stronger than Master Roshi was quite the ego boost but he had known for years that he wasn't on par with people like Piccolo and Goku. And Naruto had fought both of them to a standstill.
"Ugh, you fighters, and your secrets. Well, what are you waiting for?" She asked Naruto who was staring at her. "Power up. Let's see how well you would have done against Raditz."
Deciding to humor the woman Naruto crouched slightly and started to pull his hidden energy to the surface. It had been a few months since he last powered up to his maximum and he was curious himself to see how well he would do against this Raditz. From what he had sensed the Saiyan was stronger than him but by how much he wasn't sure. And fighting wasn't all about power.
Overwhelming strength could win a fight quickly but technique and experience were also factors to take in. And being younger than his rivals he was used to fighting more experienced and powerful fighters which gave him the edge against Raditz.
So lost in his thoughts of battling the Saiyan invaded Naruto didn't notice when the ground started shaking around him, or when loose rocks and dirt were blown away by the strong winds his aura created as is circled him.
"Oh, crap." Gulping as the android's power continued to rise Krillin took half a step back covering his eyes with his arm. "His power is amazing."
Naruto had already surpassed Piccolo and Goku. And still, his power level kept growing. Cursing himself for not thinking of calling the boy to help fight Raditz the monk frowned as the winds started to die down and the energy he was sensing slowly stopped rising.
"With him there maybe Goku wouldn't have had to die."
"Tw...twelve...hundred?" Tapping her new and improved scouter Bulma finger shook as it pressed the button to read Naruto's level again. "This thing must be on the fritz."
Standing straighter Naruto released a shallow breath. If felt good to let loose. "So, what am I at?"
"Twelve hundred," Bulma answered and Krillin squawked
"What! Twelve hundred? That's insane!"
"Heh, I bet I could have beaten Goku's brother. And I'm sure I can take care of the Saiyans coming here as well." Naruto nodded mostly to himself and let his energy lower. "So, my answer is still the same. You cannot have the dragon balls."
Bulma gasped "What! Did you hear I said? The Saiyans coming in a year are stronger than Raditz, and you're not even as strong as him. We need Goku."
"You need Goku," Naruto said and turned away from the heiress and Monk. "I need to start training. So, go away."
"Hrrr..." Glaring at the blonde Bulma stomped forward ready to knock some sense into the fool when a familiar voice stopped her.
"Please, before you make your decision, Naruto. I would like to show you something."
Floating down to the ground on Popo's magic carpet Kami leaned heavily on his wooden walking stick.
"Kami!" Krillin smiled at the guardian of Earth. If anyone could talk Naruto into handing over the dragon balls it was the guy who created them.
"Like I told these two," Naruto jerked his head towards Bulma and Krillin. "I've got training to do. I don't have time for a field trip."
Kami bowed his head. "Please, it will only take a few hours. I wish to show you the power of the Saiyans coming to Earth. After you see their strength and still do not see the need for Goku to come back to life I will summon the four-star ball and deliver it to you."
"You will give me the last ball? You're not lying?" Naruto asked suspiciously. He didn't believe Kami, but could the guardian of Earth lie? Or was it against the rules? Were there rules for being the earth's guardian.
"No," Kami shook his head. "I believe once you learn of the Saiyans power you will agree to give up the six dragon balls you have collected so far."
"It will be a cold day in hell before that happens." Naruto thought as he floated into the air following after Kami.
He had waited years for a chance to become fully human once more. There was no way he was going to give it up because two aliens from space thought the earth was theirs for the taking.
...
Six months later,
King Kai's planet, Otherworld
"Hmm? He could help."
"Who could help?"
"Ah!" Jumping a good ten feet into the air King Kai fell back to his planet landing on his butt. "Don't sneak up on me while I'm thinking!"
Scratching the back of his head Goku laughed as King Kai climbed to his feet and dusted his robes off. "Sorry about that, King Kai. But you were muttering over here for a bit and I just wanted to know what was going on. So, what's going on?"
Sighing at Goku's lack of tact the North Kai looked up at the sky. "Kami seems to have recruited another fighter to battle against the Saiyans. One Naruto Uzumaki. Do you-"
"Naruto? No way!" Goku face seemed like it would split with how large his smile was. "That's great. He was really strong last I saw him and he got to be stronger now."
"So you do remember him?" King Kai asked. He hadn't known Goku very long but the Saiyan didn't seem very bright. A truly talented fighter, yes, but not the smartest guy around.
Goku nodded his head practically a blur. "Of course I do. He fought Piccolo in the semi-finals of the last World Martial Arts tournament. Would have beat him too if he hadn't stopped an attack from hitting the crowd and killing everyone. If not for that he would have won. He's really strong."
"Well, he's gotten even stronger. At least twice as strong as your brother Raditz."
"Really? Aw man, he must have been training really hard on Earth. I can't wait to fight him again once this Saiyan business is over." Goku grinned as he thought about the challenge the former Red Ribbon Army commander could give him. They were both training hard and he wanted to see how strong the young blonde had gotten.
"Please," King Kai snorted. "Once you training here is done no one on Earth will be much of a challenge. Besides you need to focus on beating the Saiyans. Forget everything else."
"No way! You already told me he is twice as strong as Raditz and it's only been six months. Just imagining how strong he might become in the next six months." Goku's fist clenched at his sides. "It's making me shake."
Shaking his head King Kai turned away from the smiling Saiyan. "I worry about you, Goku."
...
One year Ago,
Kami's lookout, Earth
"What is this place?"
Following Kami deeper into the Lookout than he had ever been. Glancing around the tiled hallways he frowned as Kami came to an abrupt stop nearly causing him to run into the Earth's guardian.
"We're here." Kami pushed open two large double doors and stepped into the room his white robes standing out in the darkness.
Naruto walked in right after and blinked as a large pendulum swung back and forth in front of him. "The room looked smaller on the outside."
He couldn't even see the ceiling. But that might have been because the room was too dark.
"This is the Pendulum Room," Kami said as he led Naruto to the ring directly under the swinging pendulum. "Here your mind can travel anywhere in time. Goku used it when he trained with me."
"Time travel?" Naruto cocked one eyebrow up. It sounded preposterous but so did seven magical orbs that grant wishes so he would withhold his judgment.
Kami nodded. "This is how you will see the power of the Saiyans."
"We'll see."
Naruto shook his hands at his sides and craned his neck a few times loosening his muscles as he bounced on his heels. He wasn't going to say it out loud but he was excited to see just how powerful the Saiyans were. "With how Kami keeps going on about their strength you'd think they were the greatest warriors in the universe."
Stepping away from Naruto Kami left the android in the middle of the ring as the pendulum above them began to glow.
"When you come back to this time. I will ask once more for the Dragon balls you have collected. I hope what you see will change your mind on bringing Goku back to life."
Looking up as the entire room was lit up by the large beam of energy being shot down at him Naruto closed his eyes as the energy washed over him.
"I doubt that I will."
...
One hundred years ago,
Planet Vegeta,
"Hey, Scarface, take a look at this joker." A tall gray skinned Saiyan warrior asked his partner as they patrolled the destroyed Saiyan city. "What kind of warrior wears orange?"
Scarface, a shorter and bald Saiyan grinned. "I don't know, Shorty. Let's go ask him. I don't see a tail so he's no Saiyan, and that means we can be a little rough with are questioning."
Floating into the air the two Saiyans floated into the air and towards the strange alien that was in their city.
...
"So this is the Saiyans homeworld." Naruto wasn't one hundred percent certain that he was on the Saiyan homeworld but it was the answer that made the most sense. Kami wanted him to fight Saiyans, what better place was there to find them than the planet they were born on?
Of course, it would have been nice to know for certain but Kami had deemed it acceptable to just send him anywhere in space and time without so much as a heads up.
Then again Goku didn't really get a warning that Raditz was coming to Earth so he wouldn't complain when Kami brought him back to Earth.
"Now, time to find some Saiyans." Reaching out with his energy Naruto felt two signatures only half a kilometer away and moving towards him quickly.
Whoa. Locking onto the energies with his, he tensed as they kept getting closer. They were incredible. Even stronger than Raditz-...No. Naruto shook his head.
Raditz hadn't been half as strong as what he was sensing.
Smirking he turned so he was facing the direction the two Saiyans were coming from. It was time for him to learn just how strong the Saiyans were.
"But first," Looking around at the broken pieces of house, roads and whatever else had been destroyed along with the city he let half his energy rise to the surface. "No point letting these Saiyans know just how strong I am."
"Ha!"
Forming a bubble of energy around him he threw his arms out extending the energy in every direction pushing away anything in its path.
"That's better." Naruto nodded to himself as the dust settled revealing the clearing he had created. A perfect circle of flat ground that would serve as the first battlefield he fought on against a Saiyan. Not counting the times he fought Goku.
"Hn, nothing but a runt."
Naruto looked up to where he heard the arrogant, cocky voice talking down to him.
Floating a good twenty feet in the air were the two Saiyans he would fight.
"If all you're gonna do is float up there, I'm gonna go find some other Saiyans to fight."
"Hahaha! Guess the runt isn't all small. He's got a big head." the taller of the two Saiyans said as he floated down to the ground and evil smirk on his face. "I'm going to enjoy crushing it."
Dropping into a fighting stance he waited a few seconds for the Saiyan soldier to do the same but frowned when the alien just stood there arms crossed and smirking.
"Look at that, Scarface. The runt thinks we're going to fight."
Scarface nodded as he landed behind Naruto, trapping the android between the two Saiyans. "Let's show him what this really is. A Slaughter!"
"Shit!" Eyes widening as both Saiyans held up one hand each and aimed two Ki blasts at him. He could feel the energy in those blasts and just one exceeded his own power level.
"Bye runt!" Shorty shouted as the energy ball in his hand became a wave.
Still stuck between Saiyans Naruto didn't have time to even think about dodging as the two blasts washed over him.
"Ah!" Screaming as searing pain burned through him he felt his skin start to melt before everything vanished.
The pain. The Saiyans. The city of rubble.
All there was, was Kami and the Pendulum room.
"What the hell?" Chest heaving as he tried to suck in breaths that weren't there Naruto dropped to his knees and was only just fast enough to stop himself from landing face first by sticking out his arms.
"So, that's how powerful the Saiyans are." It was terrifying, yet at the same time, it was exhilarating.
Fighting against such powerful enemies. He hadn't had the chance to meet someone who could push him to his limits since the World Martial Arts tournament.
"If I train for the next year, I'm sure I'll be able to beat them." Naruto pushed himself up and leaned back sitting on the floor of the room.
"No!" Kami shouted startling Naruto as the guardian of Earth stared down at him.
"The Saiyans that will be arriving on Earth in one year's time are six times as powerful as the ones you just fought."
"S...six times." Naruto eyes bulged as he tried to comprehend that kind of power. Was it even possible for someone to be that strong? It was insane.
And something he couldn't beat. At least not alone.
"Dammit." Closing his eyes he cursed the alien bastards into oblivion. "I'm going to kill them."
"Naruto?" Kami asked as the boy kept muttering.
Looking up at Kami Naruto sighed. "I will give you the dragon balls."
"Thank you." Nodding to the young android Kami smiled. He knew the good in Naruto's heart would force him to put the world before his own selfish desires.
"Now, onto the matter of your training."
"Training?" Naruto asked curiously. Kami hadn't said anything about training.
"Yes, even with Goku's return I fear we will need more strength than what he alone can offer. That is why I would like for you to train here, on the Lookout with the others."
Naruto didn't accept the offer right away. Tossing the idea around in his head a few times before nodding agreeing to Kami's suggestion.
It would be good to have sparring partners. Even of they weren't on his level, and he looked up at the pendulum still swinging above. Having a way to check his progress every few months would help as well.
"Once I can beat those two Saiyans without trying I'll move onto more powerful opponents. And beat all of them until I know I'm as strong as the Saiyans coming to Earth."
New Story, I'm writing when I'm not rewriting Lost Supernova.
I know I haven't updated in a long while, but I'm back now and feel like I could do better. Sorry to everyone who is been waiting for an update for so long.
Now that my apology is out of the way lets talk about this new story. As you have read Naruto is an android. He is an older build by Gero so he won't have unlimited energy like 17 & 18. Instead, he is kind of like a prototype to Cell, only half human and half Saiyan created from mixing Goku's DNA with that of a human child.
The story will go all the way through Dragon Ball Super and as for the pairing, it is undecided. Let me know who your choice is in the reviews.
Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has enjoyed the first chapter!
