  "Huests, I have found him," Kami Piccolo's voied, instantly grabbing the trio's attention.

  "You actually found Kakarot?" Raditz excimed, surprise fshing in his eyes as he turo Kami Piccolo.

  "Indeed!"

  Gine's excitement bubbled over. It had been nearly two years since she'd st seen her you son, and the news filled her with joy.

  "I 't say for sure it's Kakarot, but he's the only one who arrived oh withi year or two," Kami Piccolo expined, shaking his head slightly.

  "Thank you! Could you guide us to him, Kami Sama?" Jiang asked with a warm smile on his face.

  "Of course!"

  "They're on Mount Paozu, east of here," Kami Piccolo said, pointing. "But it seems your child has been adopted."

  "Five my boldness, but please don't harm him," He added, a hint of in his voice.

  "Adopted?" Gine was taken aback, and Raditz looked equally surprised.

  "Don't worry. We mean no harm to this p, aainly not to anyone living here," Jiang reassured him with a smile.

  Kami Piccolo seemed to rex slightly, though apprehension lingered.

  "Thank you!"

  "Thank you so much," he added, bowing slightly.

  He'd initially sidered hiding this information but ultimately decided against it. These three were incredibly powerful, especially Jiang and Raditz, who instilled a sense of dread he'd never felt before.

  "We should be thanking you, Kami Sama," Jiang said. "We won't disturb you further. We'll be off!"

  With that, Jiang soared into the air, followed closely by Gine and Raditz.

  "Alright, alright!" Kami Piccolo nodded quickly.

  Once airborhe three headed straight for Mount Paozu.

  "Boom!"

  A surge of energy tore through the air, and in an instant, the three figures vanished from Kami Piccolo's sight.

  Finally, Kami Piccolo let out a long breath, feeling a slight easing of the pressure. But it was only slight. As long as Jiang and his group remained, a heavy cloud of worry would hang over him.

  For now, he was grateful they hadn't shown any iion of causing trouble for Earth. But that was only temporary relief. The power of Jiang and his panions was daunting, and Kami Piccolo couldn't shake the feeling of uainty about their true iions.

  Just then, Popo Saurned, and upon seeing him, especially the rice cooker in his hands, Kami Piccolo felt a wave of relief wash over him.

  "Popo San, thank you," He said, taking a deep breath.

  "Kami, are you really going to release him?" Popo San asked, still hesitant.

  He was acutely aware of the terror tained within the rice cooker. It had take effort for Kami Piccolo to separate that being, and releasing him now seemed unwise.

  "Let's wait a bit longer," Kami Piccolo replied after a moment of ption.

  He was still unsure of Jiang and his group's iions, and the thought of hastily releasing Demon King Piade him hesitate.

  Meanwhile, Jiang was unaware of these internal struggles. He knew from his knowledge on Ball that Piccolo had split into two, but he hadn't anticipated that their presence would frighten Kami Piccolo to the point of sidering merging with Demon King Piccolo.

  Leading Raditz and Gine, he flew over Earth's many mountains.

  …

  A few mier, they arrived at Mount Paozu.

  "Is this Mount Paozu?" Raditz asked, sing the area for any signs of Kakarot.

  "Let's go; he should be over there!" Jiang said, sensing a faint aura auring in a specific dire.

  The two nodded, and the trio took to the air again, heading toward a nearby mountain.

  Soon, they spotted a wisp of smoke rising in the distance.

  "Is he really here?" Raditz's eyes lit up with hope.

  Just then, a figure emerged from a nearby house— an old man with a white beard. Though aged, he still appeared quite robust.

  "Is that the person ted Kakarot?" Gine asked, her gaze fixed on the old man.

  "That should be him. Let's go over!" Jiang replied, urging the others to follow.

  As they approached, the three figures desded from the sky and nded in front of the house.

  "You three, what brings you to Mount Paozu?" Son Gohan asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice as he looked at them.

  In that moment, he sehe overwhelming energy radiating from the trio, making even him, a martial arts master, feel uneasy.

  "Five our intrusion. About two years ago, a younger brother of mine actally nded oh. I heard from Kami Sama that he ted by you, so we came to see him," Jiang expined with a friendly smile on his face.

  "Yoku's family?" Son Gohan asked, surprise flickering across his face.

  "Goku?" Raditz echoed, a bit fused.

  "Hahaha, I almost fot to mention. Goku is the name I gave the child. Please, e inside. Goku went out to py in the mountains and should be back soon," Son Gohan said, inviting them in.

  "Alright! Thank you for your hospitality!" Jiang replied, and the three followed Son Gohan into the house.

  "I never expected that Goku wasn't from Earth. No wonder he was so extraordinary from the start," Son Gohan mused as he served tea to the guests.

  "Oh, sir, could you tell me about Kakarot?" Gine asked, her eyes fixed on Son Gohan. "By the way, let me introduce myself. I'm the child's mother. Due to some is bae, we had no choice but to send him to Earth. Thank you for taking care of him during this time."

  "Is Kakarot Goku's name?" Son Gohan asked, intrigued.

  "Of course!" Gine firmed.

  "Speaking of which, when I first found the child, he was quite fierce," Son Gohan chuckled, reminisg about their first enter.

  As he reted the stine listened ily, and even Raditz seemed captivated, not wanting to interrupt.

  The atmosphere in the room was warm and friendly until—

  A side the door interrupted them.

  "Grandpa, I'm back! Look what I caught!" A young voice called out, brimming with excitement.

  Everyone's eyes lit up at the sound.

  "Goku's back!" Son Gohan excimed.

  Gine sprang to her feet, and even Jiang felt a surge of anticipation.

  Kakarot, Son Goku – the true legend of the Dragon Ball world.

  Unlike Naruto and Sasuke, Kakarot was the real deal. The Stro of them all.

  The door swung open, revealing a small figure who paused, eyes wide with curiosity at the sight of the guests.

  "Kakarot!" Gine rushed forward, enveloping him in a tight embrace.

  The small figure instinctively struggled, then rexed in her arms.

  "You… you're my mom?" Kakarot murmured, fusion clouding his eyes.

  Though the memories of his childhood were lost due to his head injury, his body instinctively reized her.

  "Hmph, only a Battle Power of five," Raditz scoffed, a smirk pying on his lips.

  He kept his ents brief.

  Jiang smiled, choosing not to press the issue.

  Raditz had clearly ged a lot tely, and Jiang didn't want to push him too hard.

  He watched Kakarot, led in Gine's embrace, and noted how much he resembled the child he remembered.

  At this point, Kakarot was much younger, simir to when he left P Vegeta.

  His Battle Power had barely budged, only increasing from two to five.

  But that was expected.

  Son Goku's true power would blossom ter, during his training under Master Roshi. This was still the time when Son Gohan was ying the groundwork for Son Goku's future.
