72 Trip Down Memory Leaf! (1/2)

”Hey there it is!” Esumi shouted as the gang started to descend and reach the entrance of the village.

They noticed a few figures waiting for them.

”Who knew we were coming back today?” Esumi asked confused.

”No one except one person.” Jabie said bracing himself.

”Let's find out.” Broly said as they reached the entrance.

In front of the gang were Shino, Hinata, Lee, Tsunade, Sakura, and Jabie's 12 year old clone.

Broly's eye brows raised at the fact that Jabie's clone hasn't aged a day since he left and the fact that it lasted three years without dispelling once somehow. Impossible.

'Impossible… How could that brat look basically the same as he did three years ago?! Does he not age? Is it a transformation jutsu that works permanently like mine? Or could it be.. His kekkei genkai?!' Tsunade thought to herself.

'How does he look exactly how he did when he left the hokage's office all those years ago?' Sakura asked.

'Wow Yada-san, has become quite beautiful over the past three years.' Lee thought to himself.

”Aomatsuna. Nice seeing you again… Even though you soon left the village right after.” Tsunade said as if still holding a grudge.

”Tsunade.” Broly replied.

She sighed at his lack of response. ”Are you planning to return to the village?” She asked.

”For now, yes.” Broly said, causing Tsunade to let out a breathe in relief at the increase in strength her village just received. Broly looked at the water clone.

”Get Ready Jabie.” Broly said before both of the Jabie's shivered at his tone and suddenly the sound of leaking water was heard. The welcoming group made shocked reactions and Sakura screamed when they noticed Broly's hand inside Jabie's chest.

”Calm down you little babies. That was just the water clone.” Esumi said.

”Why did you do that?! I still had uses for him!” Tsunade shouted.

Broly looked at the Lady Hokage and simply turned his head instead of replying. After dispelling the water clone, Jabie grabbed his head as three years of memories assaulted his brain. With a quick poke to the forehead, and a shining bright white light he was as good as new.

”Danzo….” Jabie muttered for everyone to hear.

”What about him Jabie?” Tsunade asked interested.

”Nothing. I just didn't know his name before I left.” Jabie lied.

Esumi and Broly must have noticed his lie because they both looked at him in a certain way.

”How did you know we were returning today?” Broly asked.

”We didn't. We were waiting for Naruto and Lord Jiraiya.” Sakura answered.

”Oooh so it's just a coincidence! Haha well see ya Tsunade! We got places to be and things to do.” Esumi said as she and the rest of the gang started to walk inside the village's entrance.

”Hinata, Shino, Lee follow along with us. You're test will be later and afterwards I'll try and get you guys to be recommended as Jonin by the Hokage. You three are already as strong as or stronger than some of the jonin inside the village. All I need to do is confirm a few concerns of mine.” Jabie told the three.

”Hai Amai sensei!” The three said with Lee being the loudest and most heard.

”I'm going to see Mom. Khael follow along with me. Jabie I'll be there when I'm done.” Broly said as he walked to the very reminiscent orphanage with his new Protégé.

”I'm going to take Sho-kun and take a little trip down memory lane around the village. Tell Auntie I said hi Suna.” Esumi said before skipping off with Sho behind.

”It seems the rest of my friends have left. Let's go get reacquainted with each other over some food. I'm sure you guys are curious about my adventures over the past three years.” Jabie said as he brought his little apprentices along.

”Amai sensei. Am I really strong enough to become a jonin? It's only been three years since we started training under you.. How can you tell?” Hinata asked.

”I've fought many jonin and escaped many jonin after leaving the village. I can tell at this point who is genin-worthy to jonin-worthy.” Jabie said.

”Wow Amai-sensei how did you manage to escape from a jonin when you were just a chunin after leaving?” Lee asked.

”Ninja rank does not equal strength Lee. An academy student could be stronger than a chunin if talented enough.”

”Talented huh…” Lee dragged.

”Don't worry Lee. With my teachings, talent is nothing but a word or a future benchmark for my students. I use to have nothing special about me when I was younger. I just read a lot. I also was bullied when I was younger as well. But the thing is. I read about things that could make me stronger or a better ninja. I read about poisons, chakra, weapons, fighting styles, medicines, and anything else that could make me strong enough to enjoy my passions and not be bullied. With time I became strong enough to do that, and I'm currently doing that.”

”What are your passions sensei?” Shino asked.

”I'll tell you about it when we start eating.” Jabie said as they walked into a restaurant.

*WITH BROLY AND KHAEL*

”I thought you were an orphan sensei.” Khael said with an uninterested tone.

”I am. I was adopted by her. She is not my birth mother despite being with me since my birth.” Broly told her.

”Oh.”

Broly and Khael reached the orphanage and Broly knocked on the door. It took a few seconds before three little kids and a foolish weak looking man appeared at the door.

”Hey it's a big kid!” One of the kids said with a big dumb smile on his face

”Why do I have to wear a shirt but you don't?” a second child who had snot running slightly down his nose asked.

”You're pretty big sis!” The girl said with a shine in her eyes.

”Enough kids. Get back inside you're bothering the guests.” The brown-haired man said.

”Who at the door dear?” A familiar voice asked.

'Dear…?' Broly thought to himself before slowly looking the man in the eyes.

”Its two kids…” The man suddenly found his throat caught in itself as he felt a heavy pressure grating down on his entire body.

From behind him a round bellied gorgeous woman with long brown hair hugged him.

”Well what do they… want….” The woman suddenly found herself unable to continued as she stared at the young boy outside the door with a slightly taller girl that looked similar to the boy in demeaner.

”Suna…. Is it really you…?” The woman asked.

”Mom. I'm back.” Broly said before locking eyes with his mother and her… stomach??

Broly started to feel things he wasn't used to feeling. 'Did this weak-looking bug impregnate his mother…? Why didn't she tell me about it? Who is he? I feel like crushing him… ' Broly then was hugged all of a sudden by Akira and her belly. He hugged back before she kissed his forehead multiple times and let him go.

”What the hell have you been eating Suna?! You haven't grown since the last time I've seen you! I'm going to fix you up something right now. Stay here with your little friend.” Akira said.

Broly grabbed her hand.

”This is normal. I will be growing very rapidly over the next few years. My kekkei genkai is the cause of it.” Broly explained.

”Oh. Thank goodness. I don't know how you would be able to get a wife if you looked like a child your entire life. But speaking of that.. Could you stop scaring my boyfriend? He doesn't shake like that normally and his skin color isn't purple!” Akira said, forcing Broly to stop projecting his killing intent onto Akira's boyfriend. ”My boyfriend's name is Jhin. This is my son Aomatsuna. But I call him Suna cause it's cuter.

Akira's boyfriend took rapid gulps of air as he held his throat. He was sweating all over as he terrifyingly looked at Broly. The feeling he got from the dangerous kid was to flee and to never come back. But he looked at Akira, who had a strange look in her eyes as if asking what will you do? Will you truly run away… or will you stay.. After taking one last deep breath, he straightened his back and stared at Broly with no intention of leaving.

Broly grinned before blasting one last wave of killing intent towards him and forcing him to fall flat on his butt. Although he never turned his eyes away. 'Hmph. Not too bad for a weak human. He has guts.'

”Enough bullying my boyfriend Suna. Come in! Along with your little friend.” Akira said as she brought Broly and Khael inside before they all got situated inside a room.

”So, who is she?” Akira asked.

”She's my apprentice. I'm teaching her to become stronger. Her name is Khael.” Broly said.

”Well hello Khael-chan. I see you're matching your ”sensei” with the same eyepatch and all. You two look very cute.”

”Hello.” Khael responded in a lackluster voice and slightly red cheeks.

”Hehe. You're just like Suna. Same tone of voice. Same reactions. I don't know how you two are ever going to get into a relationship with someone if you keep acting this way.”

Khael's face turned red.

”I'll be fine Mother. Is that his?” Broly asked as he pointed to her stomach. Akira nodded and her boyfriend felt a terrible premonition incoming. His body instinctively shivered as he looked towards the boy.

”Despite how spineless and weak he seems, he isn't completely bug-like.” Broly said.

”You hear that honey? That means he approves!” Akira said.

”Yay….” Akira's boyfriend responded. 'Approves my behind.. It feels like he wants to wrench my bones into a pretzel!'

”I'll go get some snacks to celebrate!” Akira said with a big smile.

”No! No. Let me.. Please.” Akira's boyfriend said as he clumsily ran out of the room.

”Tch.” Broly audibly let out.

Akira just giggled while Khael looked on in interest at this new side of her master that she's seeing for the first time.

”I don't understand why it makes me angry but, since you're happy Mother. I'll let it slide.” Broly said.

”Awh. Don't worry sweetie. No one is going to take your mother away from you. I'll always be there for you Suna.” Akira said with a hug. Broly's tail unconsciously wrapped around her leg. He looked away from Akira's face after she said that.

”Whose worried about something so foolish?” Broly muttered.

”Well sweetie tell me what you were up to. Unless you can't since it was a secret ninja mission.”

”I have been creating my own village with Jabie and Esumi.”

For some reason Akira started to burst out laughing for a couple of seconds before seeing the serious look in Broly's eyes.

”Seriously?”

Broly nodded.

”Why would you build another village when you already have this one?”

”Konoha isn't what I consider the perfect place to begin my takeover. Soon I will take you over there Mom. But I still have quite a few things to accomplish before I head back. So for now I'm staying here in Konoha.”

”Takeover? Haha what are you planning you little bully?” Akira said while giggling.

It was at this moment Jhin returned back with chocolate chip cookies.

”I intend to take over all of the nations. With the help of my family and fri..allies.” Broly managed to say.

Jhin dropped the pan full of the delectable looking snacks. He tried to catch the pan after being shocked by Broly's words, but realized that the pan was floating mid-air! Khael shot out a chakra thread that Akira and Jhin couldn't see and was holding up the tray.

”I saved them.” Khael said while looking into Jhin's eyes.
