Kuraiya had a firm hold of the bald man, he had used the dimension gifted to him by his son, for completing the full Ultra instinct training.
Throwing him to the ground, he rolled his shoulders and nodded, "I've come to fulfill your desires, and mine too".
"My desires?", the bald man scratched his cheek while looking around to see his surroundings.
"Don't worry, this place can handle universal destruction, you can let loose to your hearts content".
"Uhh.., sorry for the interrupting, but there's a sale on, and I really can't be bothered with any sale pitches".
"We'll see".
Kuraiya rushed forward, his fist smashed into the bald man's face, sending him flying.
The bald man's expression changed after feeling the punch, he slowly looked down and saw a trail of blood running down his nose.
"I'm bleeding?, he actually made me bleed?, could he really be".
Punch after punch landed on the bald man's body and face, he kept thinking to himself, [I'm feeling everything, is this what I've been missing, the thrill of a real battle!.]
With a kick Kuraiya sent him flying again, skidding across the white floor, the bald man looked up, his face serious, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
"We haven't introduced ourselves, my names Saitama, a hero for uhh.., fun".
"Names Kuraiya, a collector and the father of the Saiyan's".
Throughout that short dance, Kuraiya noticed the guy's skin toughening up with each punch, he was like himself, and it made him feel strange.
The two eventually began exchanging punches, their strength both rapidly growing together, it was just, Kuraiya was healing slowly, while Saitama began to grow weaker due to exhaustion from his wounds.
So nearing the end of their fight, Kuraiya decided to finish the fight, with his Green haired form, a single punch and Saitama had passed out from the overwhelming quick surge of strength.
Upon waking up, and finding himself inside his home, he scratched his bald head and winced.
"So it wasn't a dream, I really had a real fight, and he didn't die from one punch, man, I wish I could fight him again, I can even feel that I've grown stronger again".
His face looked depressed, because he knew anyone else would simply explode from a single punch.
"A destined rival, that's what I'll call him, a seeker of true strength..".
He looked at his destroyed door, and winced again, "I'll just move next door, not like anyone is living there anyway".
He hasn't met Genos yet, still several months away from meeting the talkative cyborg and his over dramatic glazing, just like how everyone had glazed Naruto in his own series, it would make one vomit acid just listening to it.
Of course Kuraiya put him back in his home after he understood what kind of power Saitama had, it was like someone standing at the top of a staircase and he runs up the stairs and somehow he's already running in the air, only to stand above the person.
Upon dropping him off, he went back to Fubuki's home fully satisfied, after receiving a few devastating punches that would normally explode a person.
Upon arriving, he saw Tatsumaki trying to pull off the neck collar, only to stop after seeing someone approaching.
"Sorry, but it only comes off under a special phrasing..", Kana knelt before her and lifted up her chin, "yes, I'm saying I can't take it off either, only you can do it yourself after saying something".
Shaking off the hand, she glared at Kana, "you obviously know the phrase, so just tell me?!, I promise I won't turn you into a licorice".
"Heh, and why would I tell you, just become an obedient little slave that you should be, and understand your new place, I even put a chain here, so you can be walked around like a dog..".
"Aghh!.., shut up!, you sultry slutty fat meat chested idiot!"
"Why thank you, I'm very pleased knowing my body irritates you so much".
Kuraiya who was in the kitchen, turned to face the two, he was like a nosy neighbor watching his other neighbors fighting through a window, they were being rather loud after all.
"You should take the others to whatever you're about to do, I'll take the whipper snapper back to my place".
Butting in their conversation, Kuraiya stood up and walked over to them, Tatsumaki's ire was quickly brought to himself, but he simply put her in a baggage carry and nodded to Kana.
The two vanished through the portal, leaving Kana standing there frowning at what Tatsumaki did before leaving.
"Heh, she actually thinks she'll have some great effect there, doesn't she?", with a shake of her head, she went into the bedroom and woke everyone up.
Upon returning back to his own world, Kuraiya saw several red headed women running away from the area upon his arrival.
With a playful face, he almost went up and followed them in a playful manner, but feeling the squirming in his arm, he decided to leave it be.
Placing his fingers on his forehead, the two appeared in front of Fubuki, who immediately pulled out a razor blade in a startle.
Seeing her weapon being pricked by a pair of fingers and thrown away, she knew who it was.
It was just that when her eyes landed on the woman in Kuraiya's arm, her face was already beginning to grow into a snarl.
"Why's she here?!, hah!.., hahaha!.., no, of course she would be here..", Kuraiya did a cutting sign with his hand, to stop her from continuing.
She did so, but the green aura was still flaring around herself, she also quickly noticed that her sister wasn't floating like usual, this caused her to frown.
"Did you lose your powers?, or have you been completely subdued by this man?, that you can't possibly stay above him?".
"Raghh!.., I'll fight you!"
Kuraiya looked down, his eyes landing on the empty feeling, "how the hell did that snapper escape my grasp, mm".
He noticed someone rather new, he didn't remember, no he doesn't know who this unknown woman was, who was currently cleaning the house, like she had done it hundreds of times before already.
While the two sisters were arguing, Kuraiya had walked upto the unknown woman, his eyes glowed a faint silver as he finally stood before her.
"What's your business here?"
The woman who was cleaning, looked up and froze, her voice went into a high pitch, as she squealed out a name and pushed herself against the wall, as if he was already doing it to her himself.
He was practically pressing her against it now, as he looked down at her, his rage at this unknown individual in his home was climbing bit by bit.
"I'm.., I'm a servant of Ashina, I'm her royal attainer, my name is Gewel, she had asked of me to take Yomika's place for a few weeks, lord God, please don't breath down my neck, ahhhnn!".
Staring down at her flushed face and hearing her background, he finally calmed down and nodded.
Placing a hand on her shoulder, he quickly apologized, "sorry for what I just did, I got a little worked up, I thought you was a unlucky thief".
Gewel's skin went bright red from his touch, her eyes watered and she stared blankly at his chest, unable to lift her head or speak.
Lifting up her chin, he frowned, "what's wrong?, I didn't break you, did I?".
Fubuki at some point finally turned her eyes on the scene she was seeing, so she bypassed her sister and stood between the two.
"You're scaring the poor girl, leave her alone"
Gewel fell to the ground, with a strange smile on her face, she was twitching like she just had her first kiss with an expert.
"Hey, are you alright?, let me help you", Gewel's face had rapidly changed upon hearing and feeling someone else touch her, pushing the hand away, her face was as cold as it was before Kuraiya had come over.
"I'm fine, I'll continue with my duties, please don't disturb me", Fubuki tried helping her stand up, but Gewel's body had now reflected the hand away with a water attack.
Fubuki stared at her hand for a moment, as she now watched Gewel leaving with unsteady steps.
"What the hell just happened?"
Kuraiya simply nodded to himself internally and he murmured under his breath, "adds up, Ashina and the others are real hardliners for their subordinates".
Tatsumaki had simply arrived behind Kuraiya with her arms crossed, her eyes never leaving Fubuki, it was if she was plotting something sinister.
Her eyes then turned to Kuraiya's back, until she had to look up due to being nearly half of his height, [If I had my powers, would I need to look up so high, it's already hurting my neck.]
Not far from them, was Mei, who was hiding behind a wall, "damnit, that maid is trying to seduce him, she said she was only here for Yomika's duties, she's a total predator, I knew she was here to put her paws on him".
Her green eyes quickly landed on the little squirt behind Kuraiya, "is that Fubuki's daughter?, why's she here?".
(Yes, Mei is judging Tatsumaki as such, because of her height, she's lucky she doesn't have her powers and heard that comment, or she'd have definitely squeezed her with them.)
.
Mei's past.
.
On the day of her twelfth birthday, was anything but fun for the twelve year old Mei, as soon as she turned that age, her village went into decline.
The third Mizukage was killing all of his powerful ninjas, weakening it bit by bit, all of this was of course Madara's doing.
Madara had simply done so, because the third Mizukage had severely disrupted his planning, although he knew it was Danzo and Hiruzen's doing, he was taking it out on this village.
Yes, it was because the Mizukage was taking Intel on the Uchiha and killing them off easily, Madara didn't like this, because he was searching for an easy Uchiha to control.
The Uchiha were fighting the mist village at the time, due to Hiruzen's doing, knowing full well they'd be countered by them and Danzo was giving Intel on their positions and how many there were in their squads.
It was at this time Fugaku's father sacrificed himself to save him and make him the head of the Uchiha, but seeing his father die awakened his mangekyō, to which he would later keep it a secret for almost fifteen years.
At the same time this happened, elder Genji was keeping the young Mei away from everything, he had taken her in two years ago when the head of the Terumi clan passed away.
Not even their clan knew of her existence, she too was kept in the dark about it.
Eight years later, at twenty years old, a new Mizukage had taken office, who was only an eight year old jinchuriki.
Obviously many inside the village were angry about it, but none dared to do anything to the boy.
Luckily she had already passed the Genin assessment, because just after that, the new Mizukage had made the bloodline hunting policy and soon after that, the survival of the fittest within the academy.
To which everyone in the village, called the bloody mist later down the line, no one knew what was happening inside the village, except the high rankings of each village.
It was good for the other villages too, it meant, no matter what, they'd have no fighting power if a new war would to have been started.
Luckily no one knew she was from the Terumi clan, at that time, she was still going by just Mei, until elder Genji told her of her background.
Honestly, she showed no surprise hearing it, it was already very obvious where she came from with just her lava release, especially after hearing him constantly telling her not to show off her bloodline limits.
Two years later, the forth Mizukage perished under the coalition of Mei's team, just at the end of his life, he told them, he was being controlled by a man with a single eye sharingan, wearing a red cloud trench coat.
Mei at the time had already believed him, because she saw the man appearing out of thin air at one time during her reporting.
And since then, she had asked Ao to use his Byakugan on the Mizukage to see if there was anything wrong.
Of course she got her answer, it was true, he was under a genjutsu.
So upon learning of the outfit on the one that controlled the Mizukage, they had everything put on finding out who this person was and what part of group he was with.
During that time, the Uchiha was wiped out of the picture too, severely weakening Konoha heavily making their village open for attacks in response to hearing the news.
Konoha was just lucky no one was ready for all out war yet, because of the last war massively shrinking the number of the ninjas in each village.
A year later, they found out, not who he was, but what the organization was called behind him.
Mei was on a mission from elder Genji, after he had gotten a report of a village disappearing near their own village.
Upon arriving at the small village on a separate island, she just stood on her ship in utter terror, the island was no longer there, just a single tiny bit of rock remaining, it was like it was erased from existence.
"Lady Terumi, we're at the coordinates, is this really the location?"
"Yes, we're here, that island over there is proof of it, who or whatever did this, is no ordinary person, it was most likely a tailed beast bomb, such strength, it must be the nine tails".
"But the nine tails is just a brat, there's no way he could do it, that third Hokage keeps him locked up like a lab rat".
"Mmm, whatever, let's go to that island for a stop, my legs are killing me from this voyage"
"Yes!".
Upon arriving on a small island and taking a short rest, she had unknowingly saw something at night.
On her nightly walk around the island, she saw in the distance a small object pulling a massive creature from the ocean, the object was incredibly small compared to what it was carrying in the sky.
Rubbing her eyes, she saw that they had disappeared, "was I imagining things, I must be tired, there's no way someone can lift something of that size so casually, especially at such..".
She looked around to make sure it really was an hallucination, upon not seeing anything more outrageous, she simply decided to sit on the sand and watch the half moon in the distance.
Just as her eyes were beginning to get drowsy, she saw that very same small object again, it was much closer this time, her droopy eyes shot open as she saw it dive into the sea and pull out another large creature.
Standing up, she put chakra into her eyes, zooming in on the small object, she saw a drenched tiny boy with a feral expression on his face, like someone had just stolen his previous meal.
With quick movements, she started drawing the back of the boy before he just vanished entirely.
Once he was gone, she looked at the drawing and smiled, then she licked her lips while speaking to herself, "interesting.., flight, super speed, could he be the one to have destroyed that island?, then I'll put tailed beast bomb power's too".
Putting the pen away, she stared at her drawing a bit more, before putting it inside her bosom.
The next morning, she didn't tell anyone about what she saw, instead she kept it to herself, though her thoughts last night had already made her want to keep it that way.
She thought, if that boy can wipe out an island without any survivors, he'd definitely retaliate if his picture ended up on some wanted list.
Four years later, the Chunin exams began, sitting in her office of the Mizukage building, she stared at the TV playing in front of her.
Over the years, nothing special happened, just a year ago after the elders of the village calmed down the populist, they had made her the temporary Mizukage.
In just another year, she'd be given the hat for the role.
Over those four years, only one sighting of that boy she saw, would be seen once every three months, it was infuriating, he was like a ghost that never stayed for too long in one spot, she actually wanted to give him a big kiss of the good old boil release for being so secretive.
Pulling out the photo again, she kept looking at the TV as if she'd find something that she was looking for.
Only to see nothing in the end, just that she saw a blonde haired boy releasing a small bomb from his hand towards an Hyuga brat and creating a pit under the small explosion.
"Hoh, not bad, it reminds me of that other blonde brat from that village, the yellow flash, whatever, it must be his offspring..".
As soon as she was about to finish a voice entered her very mind, much later than the other's.
(She was the last person to be given the ability to hear it during the next three years)
She stood up and pulled out kunai and shouted into the air, "come out!..", her lips kept twitching, because the voice kept speaking, leaving her feeling even more stupid.
"Release!", thinking she was under an genjutsu like the fourth Mizukage, she channeled her chakra to try and dispell it, but nothing, it just left her standing there again, looking incredibly stupid and in an awkward standing pose.
