Bom dia pessoas,
A few messages before starting the story.
[-]In addition to the reincarnated Gohan, there is another element that differs from the original story. This element was what triggered all the differences unrelated to the protagonist.
[-]Once again I would like to remind you that the manga is the main guide for this story. That's why Goku's ship hadn't been destroyed as some commented that it had happened in the anime's filler.
[-]I'm looking for a Beta Reader, anyone interested just send me a message.
----------------------------------------
In a vast and gloomy hall of a spaceship, a soldier presents himself kneeling in a sign of respect for the great emperor of the universe.
"Lord Frieza... the Ginyu Special Forces... will be here soon." The soldier finishes speaking, panting as if he had run a marathon.
A cruel smile spread across Frieza's face, revealing sharp, pale teeth. His voice, cold as the vacuum of space, echoed through the hall.
"Excellent."
With just one word, the soldier shivered all over, seized by a chill that had nothing to do with the space cold. But despite his fear and apprehension, he couldn't contain his curiosity and dared to ask something.
"My Lord... with so many soldiers and you already on your way to Namek, is the presence of the Ginyu Special Forces really necessary?"
A deadly silence fell over the hall. The temperature in the room plummeted, as if space itself froze in the face of the tyrant's wrath.
"Necessary?" Frieza snarled, each word an ice projectile piercing the soldier. "Do you dare question my decisions?"
The soldier, seized with terror, cowered in on himself, pleading for mercy in his eyes. But Frieza was not a merciful being. Quickly, he lifted the soldier off the ground using his telekinesis, suspending him in the air like a defenseless insect.
"Your insolence will be punished in the most painful way possible," Frieza hissed, his voice laden with sadism. "But I assure you that you will have enough time to reflect on your audacity while you agonize."
The soldier, paralyzed with fear, was unable to make a sound. He suffered, powerless, as Frieza spun him in the air, like a toy in the hands of a cruel child.
"Die." The emperor spoke, clenching his hand, concentrating energy on a single point on the soldier's body.
A shrill, piercing scream cut through the silence of the hall. The soldier's body writhed in agony, his bones breaking like dry twigs, his organs crushing under Frieza's telekinetic pressure.
In a few seconds, the soldier was nothing more than a pile of bloody flesh, floating in the air like a macabre trophy. Frieza released him, letting the body fall to the ground with a thud.
"Let this be a warning to all," Frieza proclaimed, his voice echoing through the hall. "I will spare no resources, efforts and especially will not spare your insignificant lives to obtain the dragon balls." He said the last part looking at the other soldiers present.
The other soldiers present in the room nodded in silence, horrified by the scene they had just witnessed.
Still furious, Frieza turns and looks towards one of the ship's windows.
"Nothing will stand in my way to get what I want most," Frieza says, looking out the window.
But instead of contemplating the vastness of space, Frieza was staring at his appearance with scorn and disgust etched on his face.
[DBI:GG]
Back in the white immensity of the time room, Gohan examines his new perk, trying to understand it.
[PERKS]
[-]Omnimind: Your mind's true power has been unlocked giving you enhanced cognitive processing, hyper-concentration, mental resilience and multitasking mastery.
[PERKS]
“Enhanced cognitive processing and mental resilience are easy to understand, but hyper-concentration and multitasking mastery have to do with different parts of the brain. So much so that when a normal person who is good with one of these abilities is not good with the other,” Gohan grumbles, reflecting on his power. “Perhaps the ability to use both at the same time is what makes the power so incredible that it required ultra-holy water to awaken.”
[+ 1 K mental]
“And that confirms my suspicion.” The young man says, all smiles with the confirmation of his theory.
Despite his satisfaction in his moment of achievement, Gohan had forgotten a small detail.
“What are you talking about?” Questions the other voice next to the young warrior.
Kuririn had joined Gohan to train for a year in the time chamber, and the fact that the young man was talking to himself while analyzing his powers was becoming apparent.
“N-nothing, you know.” Gohan said, laughing nervously, trying to change the subject. “Just thinking out loud.”
Considering that the young man spent a whole year alone in that desolate white expanse, Kuririn didn't find it strange that he had acquired the habit of talking to himself.
“It's very difficult to move around in here in this room where the gravity is 10 times greater than normal.” Kuririn commented, looking at Gohan with a suit that Mr. Popo had just made for him. “I don't know how you can do it wearing those weight clothes that Mr. Popo made for you.”
Smiling, Gohan replies.
“It takes a while to get used to, but the gains are worth it. You who did Master Kame's training, you know how the extra weight helps.”
Taken by a nostalgic feeling, Kuririn smiled back at the boy.
“I remember it like it was yesterday, the heavy turtle shell on my back, the initial despair of moving, and the feeling of getting stronger with each day of training,” Kuririn nodded, smiling. “I think it was around that time that I met your father… was it him who told that story?”
“Well…” Gohan replies, laughing nervously.
“By the way, how did you know Vegeta's boss was so strong?”
“I saw it through the Scouter when you passed out at Bulma's house, now let's stop the small talk and start training!” Gohan exclaims, sweating profusely trying to distract his training partner. “We still have to test this out.”
As soon as he finishes speaking, Gohan pulls out a white capsule with a black stripe. Pressing the button, Gohan throws the capsule in front of them revealing a machine that in the original series was in the center of the ship that took Goku to Namek.
“Is this the gravity machine you talked to Bulma's father about?”
“Yes.” Gohan replies, approaching the control panel. “I knew the doctor was an amazing guy, but having completed it in less than eight hours was surreal.”
“Bulma must have inherited his work ethic from him.” Kuririn added, examining the machine with curious eyes. “But the gravity here is already ten times greater than normal to increase it even more?”
As soon as Gohan finishes entering the commands, he turns on the machine. In response, the atmosphere around the machine trembles and Gohan's body is pulled down with the new weight.
“I increased the gravity by two times, but since the room was already ten times more, now it's twenty times more.”
“Wait!” Kuririn exclaims. “How much do your clothes weigh now?”
“Ten tons.” Gohan replies, smiling proudly.
“T-t-ten tons?” Kuririn stammers, scared. “How are you going to train like that?”
“To answer that, I would like to talk about our training schedule.” The young warrior begins to speak. “In the mornings we do light exercises and sparring with little contact under the effect of amplified gravity. After lunch in the afternoon, I divide into two parts, the first part we train ki techniques, mainly control that I need so much now at the beginning and then we do sparring with more contact to close the day.”
“A bit too much of a plaster cast training for my taste, but since there are only the two of us I guess it's ideal.” Kuririn adds, reflecting on Gohan's proposed schedule. “But when you're training your techniques, I'll be doing nothing?”
To answer the veteran warrior, Gohan took one of the notebooks he brought with him to the time chamber.
“You can venture into the more remote area, the harsh climate and hostile atmosphere make it an interesting place to train, or you could take a look at these ideas of mine.” Gohan says, handing the notebook to Kuririn. “I've been writing some training and technique ideas here.”
Curious, Kuririn begins to leaf through the notebook and glances at the titles of the topics covered in his texts.
“There are some interesting things here.” Kuririn murmurs, his eyes glued to the notebook. “But are you sure these theories will be applicable?”
[ACHIEVEMENTS]
[-]Hard Work Genius:
Effect = When training, players have their physical and mental resistance doubled. The user also has something similar to a sixth sense when it comes to training. Instinctively he knows when a form of training is viable or not when he is focused on a goal.
[ACHIEVEMENTS]
“Let's say I have a good instinct for these things.” Gohan replies, laughing nervously with the achievements window floating next to him.
“Riiiiight…” Kuririn mutters, unsure of the boy's tone. “How do you plan to do those end-of-the-day sparring sessions?”
The bald monk's question makes Gohan sigh wearily, as he wasn't sure how to explain the powers granted by Zen-Oh.
“I have a… ‘special technique’, developed for training.” Gohan says, lying blatantly.
“Interesting.” Kuririn says in a curious tone.
“Promise you won't be scared?” Gohan asks worriedly. “And don't ask questions?”
As soon as the veteran nods, a bombastic song echoes through the time chamber, a military march, combining elements of electronic music and orchestra that Gohan was already familiar with.
“Where is that music coming from?” Kuririn questions before the announcer's voice makes itself present.
[Get ready for explosive action!
From the darkest depths of space,
it is small,
it is green,
and it just needs soil and water to annihilate its enemies!
Give it up for the SAI-BA-MEN!]
In an explosion of green pixels, the alien creature manifests.
“EEEEEEK!” The strange little green man bellowed.
“OH MY GOD!”
“You promised you wouldn't be scared.” Gohan grumbles, crossing his arms.
Stunned, Kuririn stares at the green monster, but then turns his gaze to question Gohan eye to eye.
“How?”
“You also promised not to ask questions.”
[DBI:GG]
The passage of time became evident as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months.
During the first days of training, Kuririn noticed that the water had not only increased his power but also improved his Ki control, which helped him develop new techniques proposed by Gohan.
Gohan, on the other hand, had the bonus of his mental attribute along with his 50% zenkai boost and the Omnimind perk that he abused during training.
Before, a Skill that would take Gohan months to reach the rank of Grand-Master, was now achieved in less than two weeks and now he was able to execute several techniques at once, without having to prepare or plan in advance like when he used the combo to defeat Oozaru Vegeta, showing the usefulness of hyperfocus combined with Omnimind's multitasking mastery.
At the end of the 365 days of training, Kuririn noticed in himself a power 50 times greater than when he faced Vegeta and Nappa. Gohan, who was sitting examining his status windows, noticed that he did not have nearly as explosive a growth as the first year.

[STATUS]
His power went from 662 K to 1.04 M, in addition to not even doubling his total, it was the mental attribute that increased the most due to testing his Ki hypotheses and techniques to be developed.
‘If I compare myself to other warriors with a million power levels, I am significantly weaker, since my power was the sum of the four attributes divided by four.’ Gohan thought silently.
What made this year worth it was his arsenal of techniques that increased significantly.

[KI SKILLS]
The reincarnated man achieved so many new techniques that he had to rearrange his Ki Skills window to make it less confusing to read. Now divided into four categories and you would need to call a specific technique to read all your information.
Now his special abilities haven't changed much.
[SPECIAL ABILITIES]

[SPECIAL ABILITIES]
‘What is this blocked information in the Oozaru?’ Gohan thinks curiously.
“You're doing it again,” said a concerned voice, pulling Gohan's attention.
The young man looked at the one who was calling his attention.
“You're staring into the air, as if you have something floating in your face,” Kuririn said, arms crossed, examining the boy.
“Sorry,” Gohan replies, standing up. “I was thinking about my gains.”
Kuririn smiles and shakes his head.
“You're as focused on training as your father is, the only difference is that you have a more... systematic approach than Goku.”
Standing up quickly, Gohan faces the door of the temple room and sighs deeply.
“It's been a year in here and even with your help I feel like I won't be able to break through the power ceiling I've just reached.”
“And what's your plan now?” Kuririn asked curiously. “Is there any way you can get stronger?”
Gohan's mind races as he stands before the door, his thoughts consumed by memories of the transformations he could achieve. Super Saiyan 1 through 4 and the Beast form Gohan has great raw power, but accessing them required overwhelming fury. Something he couldn't simulate in this year of training.
‘Maybe I'm still too weak to activate the transformation,’ Gohan thought to himself. ‘But I doubt the original Goku was much stronger than me when he first transformed against Frieza.’
His thoughts then turned to godly ki. Master Karin didn't have much information on this subject, and informed Gohan that divine ki was just a purer and more concentrated form of ki.
‘And without access to divine ki, there's no way I can achieve Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego,’ Gohan thinks, worried about his future. ‘Could the original Gohan's Beast form be an alternative?’
“GOHAN!” Kuririn shouted, drawing the young man's attention. “You're doing it again.”
“Sorry,” the young man says, embarrassed. “I guess there's no point in standing around now, let's get out of here and prepare the supplies for our trip.”
“Don't worry,” Kuririn adds. “You're already much stronger than anyone I know, don't feel bad for not being able to do more.”
“There's still the Saiyajin's infallible way to get stronger,” Gohan says, smiling confidently.
“What's that?” Kuririn asks, concerned.
“Fighting strong opponents.”
“Damn it!” Kuririn complains, grumbling. “You're really Goku's son.”
[DBI:GG]
On his last day of training, five days had passed since Gohan had woken up in his new body.
On the first day, he trained for a year in the Time Chamber. On the second and third days, he trained with Popo, delivered Goku's ship to Bulma, and drank the ultra divine water. On the fourth day, he returned to train in the Time Chamber, and on the fifth day, he returned to the hospital, where he had to explain to his new mother why he looked so different and promise his father that they would fight to test his new power.
From the sixth to the eighth day, he stayed at the Brief family's house. Chi-Chi was relieved that such intelligent and responsible people were taking care of her son while she was in the hospital with Goku.
Gohan decided it was best not to tell Chi-Chi that he had helped Bulma and Dr. Brief repair the ship. As much as Gohan was excited to learn the basics of mechanics and engineering from two of the greatest minds in the DragonBall universe, he thought Chi-Chi would be worried to know that her little son was learning to use power tools and an industrial cutting torch.
With the arrival of the ninth day after Goku's hospitalization, the ship was ready for the trip.
As in the original story, the vehicle landed on Master Roshi's island. And today, Gohan, Bulma, and Krillin were standing in front of the ship, ready to depart. Everyone was apprehensive about the great journey that was about to begin, a tense silence hung in the air as the heroes admired the repaired ship.
And in the middle of this charged moment, it was Chi-Chi who broke the silence by throwing herself into a hug with Gohan.
“Gohan, my son,” Chi-Chi sobbed as tears streamed down her face. “Why have you changed so much in these last few days?”
Feeling bad for the woman who didn't even know she had lost her real son, Gohan hugged her back, trying to calm her down.
“It's an extreme situation m-.” Gohan cuts himself off before calling the woman Mom, feeling dirty for almost having done so. “When I get back, I promise I'll sit down and talk to you calmly.”
With a heavy heart, the mother releases her son, who, despite having argued with her about not wanting to wear his best clothes, still loves her very much. Even though he looked like a dwarf glam metal singer.
In the original text, Gohan is about to embark on a great journey with Bulma and Krillin, but he is still reeling from the recent changes in his life. He feels guilty for not telling Chi-Chi the truth about his identity, and he is also worried about the dangers that lie ahead. Chi-Chi's unexpected hug brings these emotions to the surface, and Gohan is forced to confront his mixed feelings.

Bulma swallows hard and approaches the ship and speaks.
“Piccolo.”
In response, the ship descends to its platform, allowing the three Earthlings to climb onto it and load their luggage and supplies for the trip in a few minutes.
As soon as they finished loading everything and saying goodbye, Bulma gave the command to close the floodgate.
“Piccolo.”
Slowly the Earthlings are lifted into the ship.
Krillin, marveling at the interior of the ship, looks at Gohan and Chi-Chi.
“Damn Bulma, you outdid yourself this time!” Krillin exclaims, eyes wide.
“I didn't build it, I just fixed it with the help of my father and Gohan.” The blue-haired scientist says in a serious tone. “Now sit down and we’re leaving.”
Both warriors sat down and fastened their belts while Bulma approached the ship's pilot's seat.
“Five seconds until takeoff, destination: Planet Namek.”
The panel beeped in response and within five seconds the ship took off with incredible speed towards its destination.
As the journey began, Gohan relaxed in the ship's seat and turned to admire the cosmos. The speed was so high that it seemed like they were traveling through time, not just space.
‘If it's the same as the original story. When we arrive, Frieza will already be looking for the dragon balls and terrorizing the Namekians.’ Thinks Gohan internally.
With a new worry taking over his head, Gohan ends up forgetting that his interference affected the travel schedule.
The Earthlings were going to arrive on the planet Namek, earlier than in the original anime.
[DBI:GG]
After a 15-day journey, Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma arrive on the planet Namek.
As they disembarked from the ship's platform, the humans expected to be greeted by the alien planet's nature while the hybrid expected Frieza's soldiers.
All three were wrong.
“Halt, invaders!” A harsh voice boomed in their direction. “From whom did you steal this Namekian ship?”
They were greeted by a group of Namekian warriors.
“My God, how many Piccolos.” Krillin whispered, scared.
Even though both Earthlings were surprised by the way they were greeted, it was Gohan who was the most shocked of the group.
‘What's going on?’ He wonders internally. ‘Frieza and his soldiers were supposed to be terrorizing the planet.’
In front of them stood four green men with appearances similar to Piccolo's, with the difference that some were fatter or shorter. Leading the group was a serious Namekian speaking in an authoritative manner.
Wanting to attract attention to himself, Gohan begins to raise his ki slowly. Which works, making their leader look at him with a suspicious air.
“You, with the most powerful Ki, are the leader of this group?” The green warrior asked.
Taking a step forward, Gohan puffs out his chest and replies.
“I'm not the leader, but I will answer any question you have with the truth.”
“GOHAN!” Bulma and Krillin shout at the same time, surprised by the young man's action.
The Namekian leader relaxes a little when he hears the young man's statement, but he still doesn't let his guard down.
“So your name is Gohan.” Said the leader of the group, puffing out his chest. “My name is Nail.”
Imagem do Pin de história [https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b4/55/8e/b4558e597663c82651039ee87aecf574.jpg]
‘NAIL?!’ Gohan shouted internally, remembering the Abridged version of Dragon Ball Z. ‘But what is he doing here? He should be with Guru.’
Quickly recovering, Gohan assumes a more formal stance to answer the green man.
“It's a pleasure to meet you, these are Bulma and Krillin.” Gohan said, acting as the leader of the Earthlings. “And to answer your previous question, this ship belonged to the Namekian of the Dragon Clan who acted as Kami on our planet called Earth. We are on a mission to help him, so we used this ship.”
“Kami?” Nail asks, confused.
The other green men whisper curiously among themselves, they expected these invaders to be just thieves or pirates, not friends of a member of their species who lives beyond the stars.
“An unlikely story, ‘earther’.” Nail said, trying to guess the word for natives of the planet Earth. “Why should we believe it?’
Despite the green warrior's disdain for his explanation, Gohan smiles, pleased with the honorable behavior of the most powerful warrior on the planet.
“How about you let some of your warriors guard the ship and those two?” Gohan said, pointing to Bulma and Krillin. “And you take me as a prisoner to be questioned by your leader.”
Everyone present, Namekians and humans, widened their eyes in astonishment at Gohan's offer.
“Have you gone crazy?” Krillin asks, worried about the young boy. “Why would you do that?”
“Because we don't have time to waste.” Gohan says in a serious tone. “I don't feel Vegeta's Ki on the planet or anyone else stronger than this guy around, we have to take advantage of the fact that we got here first and get more information.”
“B-but how do you-.”
Before Krillin could question him, Gohan puts his hands on his shoulder, cutting him off.
“I need you to take care of Bulma and the ship.” Gohan whispers in a confident tone. “And don't worry, I'll be back before nightfall.”
The veteran warrior gulps and nods in agreement with the young man's decision.
Behind them, Nail materializes a pair of handcuffs and hands them to Gohan to put on.
‘Piccolo can also create items out of thin air.’ Gohan thinks, reaching for the handcuffs. ‘I wonder if they'll teach me this-.’
“HEAVY!” Gohan shouts, surprised to find the handcuffs weighing over 500 kilos (1.000 pounds).
If it weren't for his training in increased gravity, Gohan would have dropped the weight on the ground. Nail frowns, concerned that the young man had supported the weight so easily.
“Can you fly in your condition?’ Nail asks the young man.
“I can fly faster than you with twice that weight.”
The other Namekians laugh at the boy's arrogant attitude while Bulma and Krillin sweat profusely.
“Let's see if you speak the truth.” Nail says, taking off abruptly.
Gohan just smiles and flies after him.
With the two most powerful members of both groups now gone, Bulma relaxes to the point of becoming furious and directs her anger at the nearest victim, Krillin.
“I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET HIM GO ALONE WITH THAT GREEN GUY!” Bulma shouted, shaking Krillin.
“Calm down Bulma, he said he'd be back before nightfall, no need to worry.”
Informed of Gohan's promise to return quickly, Bulma calms down, but her and Krillin's attention is drawn to the group of Namekians laughing loudly at the last sentence.
“Can I know what you find so funny?” Bulma asks in an irritated tone.
The shortest and fattest of them steps forward and explains, smiling.
“Your friend promised to never come back.”
“What?” Krillin asks.
“There is no night on Namek.” The short and fat Namekian replies.
The four Namekians laugh again loudly at the humans' desperate reactions.
[DBI:GG]
As they reached the entrance of a large white building, Nail gestured for Gohan to wait for a moment.
Inside, the light was soft and welcoming, reflected off the white stone walls creating an atmosphere of deep peace. In the center of the room, on a large throne, was the figure of Guru, the Elder of Namek. His figure was imposing and rotund, his face was covered in wrinkles showing how old the being was. His eyes are closed, his breathing slow and measured, each movement seemed to carry the weight of past ages.
Nail motioned for Gohan to step forward. The young man, his heart pounding, walked until he stood before the Elder Guru.
Imagem do Pin de história [https://i.pinimg.com/736x/00/00/1a/00001a300fa21f0dca9b9058ec2cf0e9.jpg]
‘He was bigger on TV.’ The Earthling thought to himself silently. ‘Or maybe I'm bigger than I was on TV.’
Looking up, Gohan contemplates Guru's serene and wrinkled face.
“Elder Guru.” Nail began, with a tone of absolute respect. “This is Gohan, a young warrior from a distant planet. He claims to have come in peace, but has no concrete proof.”
Guru opened his eyes slowly, revealing a deep and mysterious glow. He looked at Gohan with a fatherly kindness, which immediately calmed the young hybrid's anxious heart.
“Come closer, little Gohan.” Guru said, his deep voice resonating through the room, carrying an ancient wisdom. “I feel no ill intentions coming from you, but I notice that your heart is very troubled.”
Gohan took a step forward, feeling enveloped in a sense of security and understanding.
“With your permission, I will look into your mind.”
“Wait!” Gohan exclaims, concerned. “How much of my mind will you see?”
“Afraid of having your true intentions exposed?” Nail asks in an aggressive tone.
“NAAAAAIIIIL!” Guru shouts, silencing his bodyguard.
‘Just like TFS.’ Gohan thought in shock.
“I will see as much as you allow me to.” Guru said in a caring tone, turning to the young man. “Nothing more and nothing less.”
Reaching out his voluminous hand, he gently touched Gohan's head. The little warrior closed his eyes, allowing the Elder to examine him.
Elder Guru's touch on Gohan's head sent a wave of warmth and peace through the young Saiyan. With his eyes closed again, the elder delves deep into Gohan's mind, feeling the currents of his being like a river of emotions and memories.
After a few moments of silence, Guru opened his eyes, his soft but penetrating gaze resting on Gohan.
“Young man.” He began, his voice resonating with an almost hypnotic calm, “I can feel the turmoil in your heart. There is a storm within you, a mixture of fear and unease about the future.”
Gohan looked at Guru, his eyes wide with surprise at being understood so deeply. He didn't say anything, but Guru continued, his voice full of compassion and understanding.
“You fear for the future, but not just for yourself. And that fear, that uncertainty, is like shadows that obscure the light of your spirit.”
Guru paused, allowing the young man to absorb his words before continuing.
“This fear, this unease, feeds a despair within you. And it is this despair that pushes you to seek power, at any cost. But this path, my young man, is dangerous. Power sought through despair can lead to destruction, both of yourself and those you wish to protect.”
Gohan felt a lump form in his throat, Guru's words echoing in his mind. He instinctively knew the Elder was right.
Guru looked at him with an expression of wisdom and tenderness.
“Remember that in addition to your strength, agility and spirit, you also have your mind as an attribute. It is the key that will open the way for you to challenge the Gods.”
Startled, Gohan stares at Guru with wide eyes.
‘Did he read all my memories? Does he know I'm not from this world and what's to come?’ Gohan thought worriedly. ‘From what he described, it seems like he also knows about my system.’
“I also see that you have begun to awaken the power that lies dormant within you, let me see if I can help you.”
A strange energy runs through Gohan's body as Guru's gaze intensifies. As Guru increases his energy around Gohan, something extraordinary awakens within him.
With a sudden burst of energy, the young Saiyan felt a surge of power coursing through his veins.
[New Perk: Mental Nexus]
“Another one?” Questions Gohan in surprise.
[PERKS]
[-]Mental Nexus:Gain 25% mental attribute points for every point you gain in the other three attributes.
[PERKS]
“I wasn’t able to unlock its full potential.” Guru said softly, his voice filled with pride and admiration for the young warrior before him. “But I have the impression that you already know what can be done to do it.” Guru said pointing to Gohan's pants.
Reaching into his pocket Gohan holds the gravity machine capsule and nods solemnly.
'I have to explore Vegeta's strategy.' Gohan thought to himself. ‘Training in extreme gravity, almost killing myself to get the power.’
With a gentle gesture, Guru removed his hand from Gohan's head.
“NAAAAAIIIIL!” Exclaimed the Guru calling for his bodyguard. “Go release the other travelers who are in the custody of our warriors, they are our guests now.”
“Yes Lord Guru.” Says Nail, surprised by the complacency directed towards humans.
"One more thing." Says Guru before Nail leaves. “Look for a young man named Dende, he lives in the southernmost village on the planet.”
“For what reason Lord Guru?” Questions Nail, confused.
“He is a very talented young man with restorative powers.” Says the Guru smiling gently. “Dende will help this visitor achieve the necessary Saiyan power and I will help him with his divine Ki project.”
“You know everything about me, right?”
The Guru laughs serenely at the young man.
“In my defense, part of you wanted to reveal this information to me.” Said the Guru in a solemn tone. “The part that knew this was the most efficient way for you to achieve your goals.”
“Omnimind?” Gohan asks curiously.
The Guru nods his head.
Frustrated at having his secrets revealed by himself, Gohan decides to focus on what was most important at the moment.
“You know what I want to do now, right?”
“Search for the dragon balls?” Asks the Guru, for the first time, without knowing the boy's intentions. “After all, you came to resurrect your allies.”
“Yes, but also something else.” Says Gohan with a slutty smile.
“Um…” Guru mutters thinking until he remembers something from the boy’s mind. “I believe you call it… ‘earnings’?”
“Lets fucking go!”

Boa noite pessoas,
And I would like to thank those who left a comment, that always makes me happy.
And once again I would like to reinforce the request that I am looking for Beta Readers. Anyone interested just send me a message.
If some of you want to know why Guru had ‘Pascoal Ramos’ on his tunic, just ask in the comments.
COMMENTS:
[-]Stads(questionablequesting):
nice chapter thx for writing it
huh wonder what the cat knows about god ki
nice seeing bulma being talked down still dont get the whole polite ness the mc is putting in all the time.
[-]Renan:
Karin didn't know much, but at least she knew about the existence of such a thing. And regarding the protagonist's polite way of speaking, I would like to quote LuckyRobert(questionablequesting):
‘Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.’
[-]Yume(questionablequesting):
Fun chapter, thanks for writing it.
My only real gripe so far though is the spelling error that's seemingly attached itself to Korin for some reason.
[-]Renan:
Like Kazumaa23(questionablequesting) said:
‘That's his actual name (カリン, Karin) in Japan and most countries.’
That's why I need Beta Readers for the English version of the fic. This type of error is easy to pass for those who didn't grow up watching the English dubbed version.

Why wouldnt he train his Oozaru? The better trained it is, the easier it will be to get SS4 in the long run if he does.
[-]Renan:
An excellent question, but I won't answer it to avoid spoilers.
[-]Funmaxwell(webnovel):
The ultra Divine water only gave Goku at most a 13% increase to his power level not a 50% and it nearly killed him so it's not really worth it considering pretty much everyone else that supposedly drink it before him died.
[-]Renan:
The 50% boost is due to the Zenkai Boost from the near-death experience of drinking the water. According to Karin in the manga “She is able to reveal the secret power hidden within yourself”... and that could be anything.
After drinking the water Goku said he was feeling as powerful as he was serene and then Goku was able to feel Piccolo's power who was nearby. In other words, she didn't have the ability to sense Ki before or it was also significantly expanded.
Goku lost to Piccolo Daimao who had a power of 260 before wishing his youth back. After asking for his youth back, Piccolo had 500 and Goku beat him in the rematch. Showing that the water boost was more significant than many think. (This part has no consensus and fans are always arguing about it.)
[-]Xcell(questionablequesting):
1- All the karens in the world 🌎 come to Karen Tower to train under master Karen. ( Karen is a slang term typically used to refer to a middle-class white American woman who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who "use their white and class privilege) just in case you didn't know what that means 😂 😂.
2- “We're here to find the capsule that brought my father to planet Earth, not to fight.” you mean the one that got completely destroyed during the Saiyan Arc when Gohan was training with piccolo.
3- The ultra Divine water didn't really boost Goku's power all that much like by 13% if I recall. Which is weird because the show made it seem like he got a much bigger power boost than that but in reality he didn't. It's also the most dangerous way in the dragon Ball series to get a power up and the least beneficial so it's not really worth it in the end considering it's high mortality rate.
[-]Renan:
Divide your comment into two parts to make it easier to respond.
1- I know about Karens, is there a male version or do you call them Karen too?
2- As I mentioned earlier, I use the manga as my main reference. During his training with Piccolo, Gohan only turns Oozaru once in chapter 208, Piccolo destroys the moon to reverse the transformation and then cuts off Gohan's tail and gives him the clothes and sword while Gohan sleeps unconscious.
3- I think what I said to Funmaxwell(webnovel) answers this part.
