Bom dia pessoal,
[-] I'm back from Thailand, I'll give more details about my brother's treatment at the end of the chapter.
[-] I posted an isekai oneshot, Naruto: Isekai Saiyajin. There are people angry that I made the protagonist an Incel. Which isn't true, I made him an asshole, there's a difference... I think. More details at the end of the chapter.
[-]From now on I will put the comments before the chapter, as they have to do with the previous chapter, or influence me to write the current one.
COMMENTS:

[-]Lillie Jones (qq):
‘Chapter summary that looks like the beginning of an episode of the original anime’.
[-]Renan:
This here is more of a virtual high-five than a response, Lillie makes summaries from the chapters that I read with the anime voices in my head. It's always good to see when you comment on the story.
----------------------------------------
Five white spherical ships pierced the atmosphere of Planet Namek, announcing the arrival of the emperor of the universe army.
Gohan, who was training with Nail, stopped abruptly when he felt the vibration in the air. He looked up, and saw the ships descending, like white meteors against the blue sky.
“What is that?” Nail asked, his voice full of concern.
“They’re Frieza’s ships.” Gohan replied, frowning. “His forces finally arrived.”
Gohan watched as the ships descended towards Namek's surface, leaving trails of smoke and dust in their wake. The ships landed with a deafening crash, creating huge craters in the great desolate plain. The earth shook beneath their feet, and the air filled with dust particles and debris.
“What is happening?” Krillin shouted, approaching Nail and Gohan.
Gohan didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the smoking craters. He knew the enemy had arrived.
From within each ship, figures emerged. Each of them wore white and dark blue armor. They were the elite warriors of the Ginyu Special Forces.
“They are strong.” Gohan murmured, warning Krillin.
Nail, at his side, also noticed the threat.
“We can’t let them reach the Grand Elder Guru.” Nail said.
Gohan nodded, feeling the responsibility weighing on his shoulders.
“Nail! Gather your elite warriors and go protect the Guru.” Said Gohan who then turned to Krillin. “Send Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Tien here as soon as possible.”
“But what about your father and Piccolo?” Questioned Krillin confused.
“I don’t have time to explain.” Said the young man, energizing and flying towards the five invaders.
With no one to complain to, Krillin heads towards his fellow Earthlings before going to call Goku and Piccolo.
[DBI:GG]
“Someone is approaching at great speed, captain.” Said the invader with red skin and long white hair. “His power is more than eight thousand.”
“Whad did you say, Jeice? Only eight thousand?!” The most muscular invader with orange hair laughs. “That way, even Guldo can beat him by himself.”
The small green being with four eyes grumbles irritably, turning on his side with his arms crossed.
“But he has impressive speed for someone with such low fighting power.” This is the blue-skinned, red-eyed invader. “How should we proceed, captain?”
The leader after whom the Ginyu Special Forces are named takes a carefree step forward, chuckling softly.
“Let the vermin arrive, if he doesn’t tell us where the dragon balls are we can torture him until he cooperates.”
His subordinates nodded, smiling excitedly at the promise of a fight.
In a few moments, Gohan landed before the invaders with his Ki still disguised, observing the scene warily.
‘What are they doing here?’ The young man questioned internally. ‘ Frieza was supposed to arrive first. What happened to the original canon?’
Quickly Gohan began to devise a plan to deal with their most dangerous member.
He started to tremble, pretending to be in fear, a wide-eyed Gohan stammered.
“W-Who are you?” Said the young man acting badly like a coward.
The invaders laughed in chorus, encouraged by the young man's apparent weakness and blinded by their own arrogance to notice their opponent's dissimulation. Ginyu smiled triumphantly, always happy to perform his team's iconic performance.
“Ah, don’t you know who we are? Don’t worry, let’s introduce ourselves!”
He raised his arms, and the other four members of the Ginyu Special Force lined up beside him, each preparing to strike an exaggerated pose.
But as Recoome began to move, Gohan raised his index finger glowing blood red pointing at one of the five invaders.
“Scarlet Needle!” Gohan shouted, firing a bloody ray of light towards the smallest member of the invaders.
Guldo didn't even have time to react, he just realized he had been hit when the attack went through his skull.

Gohan minimizes the alert windows, staying focused on the squad that looked at each other, open-mouthed at the speed and efficiency with which one of their own had been murdered.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
But before any of them could comment on the act, Gohan had already approached Ginyu and grabbed him by the throat.
“The green one was the most dangerous with his ability to stop time, then it’s you with your annoying power to switch bodies.” Said Gohan floating, lifting the purple alien by the throat.
It was bizarre to the rest of the group, how that black-haired boy raised that big muscular purple warrior off the ground like it was no big deal.
“But all I have to do is stop you from talking, and you become harmless.”
“CAPTAIN!” Jayce shouted, charging towards Gohan.

But the crack coming from Gohan's hand had announced that it was already too late, the young hybrid had broken the legendary Captain Ginyu's neck.
Guldo's death was only surprising due to the speed with which it had happened, after all, he was the weakest member of the group. But now, with their captain dead like it was no big deal, the rest of the Special Forces began to fear for their lives.
“Clock Up!” Said Gohan, being engulfed by the blue aura of his acceleration technique.
Like a flash of blue lightning, the young warrior passed by Jayce, Burter and Recoome without them being able to notice him, then reappearing away from them holding the scouters that were in his ears.
“Now that I have your attention.” Said Gohan breaking the equipment in his hands. “Let’s talk about your terms of surrender.”
[DBI:GG]
Goku, Piccolo and Krillin cut through the skies of Namek, their bodies tense and ready for battle. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on them, but nothing prepared them for the scene they found upon arrival.
“What is that?” Goku muttered, landing.
Before them, three alien invaders were in full fight against Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Tien.
The terran warriors fought with all their might, but it was clear that they were at a disadvantage. Yamcha, with his face bruised and his clothes torn, was desperately trying to block the attacks of a muscular fighter with orange hair. Chiaotzu, with his eyes closed in concentration, launched waves of Ki towards a red-skinned, white-haired opponent. Tien, in turn, used his division technique to try to confuse the blue-skinned, red-eyed alien.
“These are the members of the Ginyu Special Forces.” Gohan said, sitting on a rock watching the fight.
With a serious face, Krillin assessed the situation.
“We need to help. They won’t hold out for long.”
Goku nodded, his fists clenched.
“No!” Shouted Gohan, stopping the three.
Krillin turned to the young man, not understanding his inaction.
“Gohan, they need our help. Why don’t you let us help them?” Krillin asked worriedly.
“Because they are weak.” Gohan replied in a dry and emotionless tone.
Gohan looked at Goku, Piccolo and Krillin, seeing the surprise on their faces. He knew his answer wasn't what they expected, but he couldn't let them interfere.
“What are you talking about?” Goku asked, confused.
Taking a deep breath Gohan closes his eyes, measuring his words before speaking.
“The three of you are at a power level that the five invaders don’t present much of a challenge, but our friends down there still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Krillin's eyes widened at the young warrior's statement, it's true that he had a year of extra training with Gohan in the time room, but he hadn't realized that the difference in power between him and Yamcha, Chiaotzu and Tien was so big. .
Gohan watched the fight carefully, his eyes fixed on the warriors' movements. Yamcha, with a cry of effort, launched a powerful Kamehameha at the orange-haired fighter, who dodged it with ease. However, the distraction was enough for Chiaotzu, with a quick movement, to launch a wave of Ki towards the great warrior.
“Now, Tenshinhan!” Chiaotzu shouted, while Recoome tried to recover from the attack.
Tenshinhan wasted no time. With one fluid movement, he split into four, surrounding Recoome and launching a series of coordinated attacks. Each Tenshinhan attacked from a different angle, forcing Recoome to defend in all directions.
Yamcha, seeing the opportunity, changed targets and attacked Jeice, the red-skinned fighter. He deftly dodged Jeice's attacks, using his speed to close in and land a powerful blow to his opponent's face. Jeice staggered, momentarily stunned.
Chiaotzu, taking advantage of Jeice's distraction, launched a series of Ki attacks in quick succession. Jeice, unprepared, was hit by several blows before managing to recover.
“Good job, Yamcha!” Tien shouted, as he continued to pressure Recoome.
Gohan watched everything with a mix of concern and admiration. They were using their skills to the fullest, switching opponents and coordinating their attacks to maximize the impact.
“They are improving.” Gohan muttered to himself, a slight smile forming on his lips.
Krillin, with his fists clenched, watched the fight carefully.
“They are doing a good job, but it is still not enough. We need to intervene.”
Gohan shook his head.
“Not yet. They need to learn to fight without our help. They need to push their own limits.”
As Gohan and the others watched, the fight continued to rage. Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Tien skillfully switched opponents, using their Ki attacks to keep the pressure on the Ginyu Special Forces.
Gohan knew he still had a long way to go, but he felt a growing trust in his friends. They were showing that together they could face any challenge. And for now, that was enough.
[DBI:GG]
The artificial glow of the icy lights reflected off the metallic floor as a heavy silence hung over the throne room. The Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, rested in his elevated seat, watching with sharp eyes the three warriors kneeling before him, the survivors of the once fearsome Ginyu Special Forces.
Their bodies were scarred from battle, their clothes torn and bloody.
“Lord Frieza...” Jayce began, his voice shaky, trying to maintain his composure. “We… we were defeated by a Saiyan! A young Saiyan of monstrous power!”
Frieza raised an eyebrow, but remained silent, letting the red warrior continue.
“This Saiyan…” Recoome interrupted, his voice deep and tired. “He was unlike anything we’ve ever faced! Not only was it far above the power we expected, but he had bizarre techniques. We did our best, we fought as always, but…”
Burter, the fastest in the universe, finally raised his head, staring directly at Frieza with eyes full of frustration and fear.
“He was fast... faster than me! I couldn’t even follow his movements, he’s a freak!”
Frieza's smile widened, but still without any sign of empathy.
“Do you really expect me to believe that a simple Saiyan was able to defeat the elite of my special forces?” Frieza spoke with his seductive and poisonous voice. “That strikes me as a pathetic excuse, coming from warriors who underestimated their opponents and were caught off guard.”
The trio trembled on their knees. Jayce tried again, this time with desperation in his voice.
“He wasn't just any Saiyan, sir. His power... his aura... was like nothing we've ever seen! He is probably stronger than you.”
The entire room froze the moment Jayce uttered those words. The echo of his statement hung in the air like a death sentence. Frieza, who until then had maintained an expression of slight curiosity, had his face slowly taken over by a shadow of uncontrollable fury. His fingers tightened on the arms of the throne, and the members of his special forces could hear the sound of metal creaking under the pressure of his hands.
“Stronger…than me?” Frieza's voice was low, but filled with a threat that was impossible to ignore. “You dared to pronounce such atrocity?”
The atmosphere in the room changed in an instant. An almost crushing weight pressed down on the kneeling warriors. Jayce, Recoome and Burter felt their energy being drained just by the threatening presence of Frieza, who was now slowly rising from his throne.
The Emperor did not need to raise his voice. He simply raised his right hand, his eyes narrowed in pure contempt. Jayce, in a desperate act, tried to speak once more, but the words died in his throat as Frieza's arm glowed with an evil purple energy.
“Allowing a Saiyan to defeat them was already a mistake, but insinuating that he might be stronger than me? That… is an unforgivable offense.”
Without further warning, a sphere of energy appeared in Frieza's palm, rapidly growing in power and intensity. He threw it at Jayce first. The attack was not a quick shot, but rather a continuous beam of energy that enveloped Jayce's body, lifting him off the ground as he screamed in pain. His muscles twitched, and his body began to slowly disintegrate, skin and flesh being eaten away inch by inch. The other two watched, paralyzed with fear, as their companion's agonized scream filled the room.
“You dare fail me and then insult me? Maybe they didn’t understand their place in this universe.”
With a snap of his fingers, Frieza stopped the energy beam, leaving only ashes where Jayce had once been. Recoome, the physically strongest, tried to get up, even though he knew he couldn't win. He released a scream of anger and despair, advancing towards Frieza with his last remaining strength.
“You worm!” Frieza whispered, before simply pointing a finger in Recoome's direction.
An invisible force crushed Recoome into the ground with enough force to break his bones into several pieces. The giant warrior roared in pain, but Frieza didn't stop there. He floated over to Recoome, hovering over the fractured body, and with a look of boredom, stomped hard on his chest, crushing his ribcage. Recoome screamed one last time, as his body convulsed, until the sound of his bones breaking echoed through the room.
Burter, the last remaining one, lay motionless, absolute terror in his eyes. He knew his death was inevitable, but still, he tried to speak, his words coming out choppy with fear.
“Lo-Lorrde Frieza... p-please... we are l-loyal...”
But Frieza interrupted him with a simple gesture, raising his hand and, with one movement, Burter was lifted off the ground by an invisible force. The blue warrior began to struggle, unable to breathe as Frieza slowly choked him from a distance.
“Loyalty?” Frieza said, smiling cruelly. “You are tools. And tools that fail must be discarded.”
With one last squeeze, Frieza closed his hand, and Burter's neck broke with a sharp crack. He fell to the floor, lifeless, silence finally returning to the room.
The Emperor took a deep breath, recomposing his posture and returning to the throne, now completely alone. He sat down again, crossing his legs as his red eyes glowed in the darkness.
“A Saiyan... stronger than me?” He muttered to himself, a cold smile forming on his lips. “Enough with being careful, I will take care of this threat personally.”
----------------------------------------
Boa noite pessoal,
[-]My one-shot, Naruto: Isekai Saiyajin, is focused on action and comedy. If I decide to serialize the fanfic, I plan to further explore the bonds between the protagonist and Naruto as brothers. Some readers loved the protagonist's humor, while others were uncomfortable with him being portrayed as an “incel.” In my defense, I'm intentionally writing the character to be an asshole, not an incel. What's the difference? If I serialize the story, I promise to make that clear.
[-]As my brother has already shared most of the treatment on Instagram, I think it's okay to give some more details.
* He suffered a serious accident, which almost cost him his life. As a result, he was 100% blind, his right leg was amputated and his left leg underwent several procedures to be saved. I went with him to Thailand as an escort, where he underwent stem cell treatment. We are hopeful that he can regain much of his vision.
* So far, the treatment has been a success, with no signs of rejection or infection. This brought me a lot of relief as the stem cells were injected into the optic nerves throughout his face and at the base of his spine. An infection in these areas could be extremely problematic.
* In Thailand, I didn't have much time to sightsee. I just went out to buy some clothes for my brother, who needed them, and on a free day, I managed to have lunch in a less touristy area. I ended up having lunch with some Thai miners which was really cool... this kind of thing happens when someone with ADHD decides to wander around Asia alone.
[-]Photos from the trip (most are from treatment and physiotherapy), can be seen on my brother's Instagram (@vitor_piva) or mine (@renanp.moraes).
[-]My brother doesn't speak English, but he loves it when I tell him about your comments, so please feel invited to send him a “Hi” or a “You're a medical doctor and your older brother writes fanfic on the internet, does he have no shame or self-love?”
