Chapter 5: Trunks's Return, Itachi's New Mission.

Alternate Timeline Of The 7th Universe

In the 7th universe, in an alternate timeline, Trunks, the son of Bulma and Vegeta that went back in time to warn the Z fighters about the androids, was helping people around the world to rebuild the damage the androids caused. In his alternate timeline, 9 years have passed and Trunks is a full-grown man, living on his own. Right now, he was at a construction site, helping the construction workers out with some heavy metal pillars to finish a new building.

"Here is the pillar you wanted." Trunks said polite as he handed over the pillar.

"Aha, thank you Trunks. Do you think you can put it on that spot right there? I am not as young and strong as you are." the construction worker said.

"Sure." Trunks said as he puts it in place. "There, right where you wanted it, alright I'll go get the next one." as he tried to fly down but got stopped by the worker.

"Trunks, you have done more than enough for everyone. You can go home and take some rest. We don't want you to tire yourself out." the construction worker said.

"Are you sure, I have enough energy to help out with the last pillars." Trunks requested.

"I am sure, we all discussed it with your mother, Bulma, you are overworked. Go home and rest boy. It will take some time to get them here, but we will make it." the worker said.

"Alright, good luck everybody!" Trunks said as he waved goodbye and flew away.

"Thank you Trunks, for everything you have done for us." the workers all yelled.

"No problem!" Trunks said.

"Also, thank you for saving the world many years ago from the androids. Without you, we would all be dead." the man said before Trunks left.

"I did it for everyone, the people of the Earth took their revenge on the androids, I represented all of you, and took out the biggest threat Earth has ever known. Not only me, but we all defeated them." Trunks said encouraged and proud.

"On that same day... I would have met the same fate as my son. That android boy with the black hair almost shot me point-blank. I miss my son everyday, but seeing his killer getting killed, filled my heart with hope. Thanks to you boy." the man said.

"Sir, I am sure your son is also thinking about you in the Otherworld. I know how you feel when you lose somebody precious to you, my master Gohan got killed by those androids too... I have to go, I will see you all later." Trunks said as he left.

He decided to visit his other at Capsule Corporation first while the construction went on. When he arrived at Capsule Corporation, Trunks ran inside the building to look for his mother.

"Mom, mom you there!" Trunks yelled around the house.

"I am here son, in my laboratory! Would you come down here, I have a little surprise for you." Bulma yelled back as Trunks went downstairs to the laboratory.

As he opened the door, Trunks approached his mother at her giant-sized computer.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Trunks asked.

"I first want to know, have you found a woman yet?" Bulma asked.

"Mom, not this again." Trunks said tired out.

"I just want to know, you should think that the 'Hero of the World' would have women crawling at his feet by now." Bulma said.

"I just have not found a woman I like, most of them are very awkward, but can we please don't talk about that now, the time is not right." Trunks said.

"Alright alright fine son, the people from the city and I discussed some things a while ago. Because of your help, the world has almost been rebuild. That is why we have decided to give you two things as a thank you." Bulma said happy.

"Come one mom, I don't need a present. I got my house, the world is in peace and there are no threats whatsoever." Trunks said.

"You will love this, trust me. First of, under these sheets, I have for you..." Bulma said announcing as she grabbed the sheets and the pulls it of. "Tada! A brand new time machine." as she announced the new time machine.

"Wow..." Trunks said as he approached the machine. "It looks great, but why did you build a new one, is there something wrong?" as he looked worried.

"No, no there is nothing wrong, but I thought that you would love a new trip to the past to see Goku and your father... and the younger version of me of course." Bulma said.

"Thanks mom, even though dad was sometimes... hard to talk with, I still respect him." Trunks said.

"Believe me, Vegeta was such a pain sometimes, but because of his character and pride, I respected him, just like how Goku feels about him. Somehow, I wished that he told me that he loved me just one time." Bulma explained.

"I know mom... I know." Trunks said as he stepped into the time machine.

"Okay, a couple of things before you leave, this time machine is made of the original design of the old-time machine but the controls have changed to make it easier. To control it, you only have to set it on the year the person is in, it has been 9 years so you have to use Age 776. Then type in the name of the person you want to visit. For example, you want to see Goku, you type in: Age: 776 Name: Goku. But because of fewer resources, I only had enough power for the time machine to make a trip to the past, and one back. Whatever you do, don't break the time machine, or you are stranded. If you want to go back, just do Age 785: Bulma and you will be sent back to this timeline. If you misuse the machine, you will never be able get back to the right time again." Bulma explained.

"I understand mom, just like before. Alright, I am off to see the others, I will speak to you later." Trunks said as he wanted to start the time machine.

"Hey wait, I still have one more thing for you." Bulma said as she grabbed his last present from the table. "I made you a new sword, because your old one broke a while back." as she handed over his new sword.

"A new sword! It looks stronger and bigger, this is a beautiful present. I need to start my sword training again. Mom, I really appreciate what you do for me." Trunks said glad.

"It is also unbreakable if I may add, so no villain, or Saiyan can break it. I used a special material to make it stronger." Bulma said while giving him a wink.

He started the time machine and waved goodbye to his mother.

"Okay... mom said put it on Age: 776 and then put it on the person's name... I think I want to see Goku first, then I will visit father... I'll do Age: 774, Name: Goku. Here we go." Trunks thought in his head. "By mom, see you later okay!" as the time machine started to rumble and disappeared from the laboratory.

Bulma was left in the lab.

"Good luck Trunks, have fun with your fa... Have fun with Goku." Bulma said as last words as she waved goodbye. "Vegeta knowing, it could end in a fight between father and son, oh well, that is Trunks's responsibility."

Far Outside Konoha In The Forest

Back in the next universe, as he was far away from the city, Goku landed safely on the ground. He thought about what he had done in the city before he left from shame.

"Oh no, what have I done! Why can't I control my strength towards women, I told myself to hold back. I don't think I can go back again, they probably hate me. I guess I am on my own." Goku said as he walked around the forest.

After a couple of minutes of walking, Goku came across an open field.

"I just have to live in this wasteland until I know where I am." Goku said as he looked around the open field. "I think this is a good spot to go camping. I still don't know where I am, but I better make the best of it." as he layed down on the ground with his hands behind his head.

But right when he wanted to lay on the ground, his stomach started to growl greatly again and he touched his belly with his hands.

"Oh, I am so hungry again, those noodles didn't fill my stomach after all, maybe I'll look for something to eat before I go to sleep." Goku said as he flew into the sky and looked around.

He saw a huge lake and flew towards it.

"A lake, maybe it has some tasty fish." Goku said as he used his speed and flew towards the lake and took his clothes off. "I'll catch a big one, yaahooooo ahahahaha!" while stretching his limbs.

He jumped into the water to catch some fish for dinner.

Deserted Wasteland and Akatsuki Hideout

Meanwhile, Madara was in a desert and decided to go to the Akatsuki hideout with the rest of his new crew. After they arrived, they went inside and sat around a round table with Cell, Freeza, Broly and Cooler.

"Now tell us your plans already, you have kept us waiting long enough!" Freeza asked.

"We all need to be here." Madara said as he turned his back on him and looked around the area.

He saw that Obito was looking for Madara and Kabuto fighting with the Uchiha Brothers, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha.

"I found them, Obito cannot know about this meeting." Madara thought for a second. "Which one of you in the fastest?" Madara asked around.

"That is me, I have a technique to travel faster than the speed of light, thanks to a certain Saiyan." Cell said.

"How did you get that technique, did you asked that Saiyan monkey, Goku, to train you because you can't make your own attacks?" Freeza said teasing.

"No, it was Vegeta okay, he gave it to me as a present because I almost killed his son." Cell said sarcastic.

"Don't you try to be a smart mouth to me, unless you want to fight me." Freeza said angry.

"Hehe, you couldn't even beat Goku, I did, and in return I got his ability of Instant Transmission. You slouch, you are nothing compared to me and I know everything about you!" Cell said with his arms crossed.

"How dare you call me a slouch you green bug." Freeza said offended.

"Enough! Cell, go get Kabuto, he is in a cave a couple of miles to the west. Freeza, sit down!" Madara said angry.

Freeza calmed down and looked the other way.

"If it was not Lord Bills that bugged me, I would have killed this Mada guy a long time ago, but I am bounded." Freeza thought

"Be right back." Cell said as he puts his two fingers on his forehead and went to the directions Madara gave him

Kabuto's Snake Cave

While Cell was on his way, Itachi and Sasuke were in a bout with Kabuto, as Itachi used his genjutsu technique, Izanami, to stop the Reincarnation Technique by affecting Kabuto through physical sensations shared between his opponent and himself.

Itachi got Kabuto's seals the right way and tried to pull it down to stop the technique.

"Almost... over." Itachi said as he tried to put his hand down, and Kabuto's hand went with it.

"Humph..." Sasuke grunted as he suddenly noticed something behind Itachi.

Cell suddenly appeared in the cave and approached Itachi with squeaking noises.

"Itachi! Behind you!" Sasuke yelled.

"Ack!" Itachi said surprised as he did not look behind him, but instead avoided a punch from Cell.

Cell started his attack on Itachi as he avoided every punch Cell dealt on him, but was not fast enough to avoid the last one and got knocked over to the wall.

"Damn!" Itachi said as he stood with his feet and right hand on the wall. "I have to finish it before it wears off." as he tried to run up to Kabuto to finish his technique.

While Itachi was on his way, Cell tried to attack him again, but then Sasuke stood in his way with his sword out.

"You are not going anywhere!" Sasuke said while pointing his sword.

"Humph, you remind me of a certain Saiyan, Vegeta, the same attitude as him." Cell said.

"I don't know who that is, nor do I care." Sasuke said as he tried to slash Cell.

Cell quickly ducked and made him trip by using his stinger. As Sasuke was in mid-air, Cell punched him to the ground to end it quickly.

"Argh!" Sasuke yelled.

"Hehehe..." Cell laughed menacing at the boy who layed on the ground.

"Sasuke!" Itachi yelled as he ran up to him instead of Kabuto.

Cell passed Itachi and approached Kabuto, he grabbed his shoulder and used his Instant Transmission. Disappearing in front of their eye sight.

Itachi stood in front of Sasuke, trying to help him up, but Sasuke stood up on his own and looked around for Cell. They were all alone in the cave, with Kabuto and Cell both gone.

"No, I didn't have enough time to stop the reincarnation technique." Itachi said as he looked down.

"It was that insect, they must be working together. I will take him, you take Kabuto and defeat both of them together." Sasuke said as Itachi thought for a second and spoke up to his offer.

"Sasuke listen, this is not something we can win on our own. That creäture was holding back, somehow I know his power is greater than he showed." Itachi said serious as Sasuke looked surprised.

"He can't be that strong..." Sasuke said as Itachi interrupted him.

"Stronger than you think, don't just underestimate him." Itachi said as Sasuke was quiet. "I have decided something for both of us, it is too dangerous for us to pursue him and Kabuto together. I go after him alone, and try to get my hands on Kabuto first." Itachi said.

"What, you can't do this alone!" Sasuke said.

"I am not doing this alone, I have you with me, but not now. I only want to find out what he wants from Kabuto and what their deal is. We could be dealing with someone greater than him, Kabuto or Tobi." Itachi said.

"What about me?" Sasuke said confused.

"Sasuke, you are not going to like this, but you have to do this, for me." Itachi said.

"What is it?" Sasuke said.

"I want you..." Itachi said as he sighted and went on. "To return to Konoha, and fight along with them until I have discovered Kabuto's plans." Itachi said.

"What!" Sasuke yelled from anger as Itachi turned his back on him. "I will not go back to that damn village, I will not stay at the place that my bother died for!"

Itachi only looked above him.

"Sasuke..." Itachi said as he opened his eyes. "What I did for the Leaf, was because I love them. You don't need to like any of them, that is your own choice. There might be more of him and I am afraid that Madara may send one of those henchmen like that insect creäture to Konoha. Right now, you are more needed there than with me. Until I am back, you have to help out Konoha in battle. You don't need to talk to anyone, just help them resisting the threats."

"Hmmm..." Sasuke said as he looked down at the ground.

"I understand that you have some differences towards the Leaf... and Naruto." Itachi said as Sasuke looked at his brother. "But this war is important for them to win, and they need as much help as possible." Itachi said as he approached him and gave him a pat on his shoulder.

"You have grown a lot, you have become a very powerful shinobi. I hope you can consider my plan, and I promise, it will work out this time." Itachi said as Sasuke looked like he changes his mind.

"I do it, I'll... go back to Konoha, just to help them because you want me to." Sasuke said as Itachi stood at the entrance.

"Thank you, Sasuke. See you soon, brother." Itachi said as he left the cave and Sasuke walked out fo the cave, on his way to Konoha.

"You better not lie this time, brother." Sasuke said as Itachi kept on walking straight.

Back In Konoha

As Naruto walked back home, he thought about the fight between Goku and Tsunade.

"This is so unfair, why couldn't I go with Kakashi and Sakura." Naruto said as he passed the corner. "If he is stronger than Tsunade, does that mean that he wants to become Hokage too!" as he looked threatened.

"I have to proof to everybody that I am stronger than that Goku guy." Naruto said with his fist up in the air. "Why does that name still sound so familiar too me?" as he puts his hand on his hin and closed his eyes.

While he was walking, Shino, Kiba and Hinata were walking back home as well and talked about the fight too.

"What did you guys think of that fight, pretty awesome right? Tsunade was awesome, but that Goku guy was no push-over. His moves were really nice on the eye." Kiba asked.

"Hmm..." Shino thought. "I don't know to be honest." as he turned his head to Kiba.

"Shino, why don't you just say what you think. It is not that hard." Kiba asked as he looked at Shino.

"Ever thought that I don't know what I think about it?" Shino asked.

"Forget it, Hinata, what did you think?" Kiba asked.

Hinata did not answer him and only looked worried at the ground.

"Hinata, yoohoo!" Kiba yelled as Hinata got shocked by his voice.

"Huh?" Hinata said.

"What were you thinking about, Naruto maybe, hehe?" Kiba asked teasing as Hinata blushed.

"No, no I thought about the war... really!" Hinata said panicked.

"Anyways, what did you think about the fight?" Kiba asked.

"Oh uh, I think that..." Hinata said as she bumped into a certain someone around the corner.

"Whoa, argh!" Naruto yelled as he walked over Hinata and fell right on top of her.

"Oh!" Hinata yelled as Naruto fell on her.

Suddenly, Naruto fell on Hinata and there by, accidentally kissing her directly.

"Wow, would you look at that." Kiba said.

"This was... unexpected." Shino said.

"Is this... really..." Hinata thought.

For a couple of Naruto was still on top of Hinata, not knowing what he was doing, until he realised what he had done. As he saw Hinata, he quickly went off of her, and got panicked by his actions.

"Oh no, Hi-Hinata... I'm sorry, I-I-I didn't mean to and... you know I... Oh, I have to go, sorry!" Naruto yelled as he ran away while blushing.

Hinata was blushing greatly and looked at her friends.

"Uh, am I dreaming Kiba?" Hinata asked.

"No, it really happened. Come on, let's go." Kiba said as they kept walking.

"Hmmm..." Hinata said when she looked at the corner Naruto ran off. "Naruto..."

As Naruto was still at the same corner, he was still blushing greatly.

"What happened just now, did I... kiss her?" Naruto said as he covered his mouth with both hands and thought about the recent situation. "Well... it did felt kind of... nice... hehehe..." as he thought about it in his mind.

"Huh! I have to stop thinking like that, I should go home! And Sakura may never know about this, ever!" Naruto said scared as he went on his way again.

When he arrived at home, he first cleaned his livingroom from all the empty bowls and puts his sleeping clothes on right after he was done cleaning.

When his clothes were on, he went to his room and layed in his bed. As he tried to get some sleep in his bed, he tossed and turned every time he got a chance.
