After Isha was taken away, Yamcha nudged Krillin with a grin.
"I think you've got a real chance this time. You might finally get your first girlfriend."
He laughed as he patted Krillin on the shoulder.
"Oh, really?" Krillin shot back with a smirk. "Look who's talking, Mr. Playboy. You've probably had five hundred girlfriends by now."
Yamcha scratched the back of his head proudly.
"Well... I wouldn't put it exactly like that but yeah its around 520 by now as i don't like permanent relationship's ."
Krillin smiled before suddenly stomping on Yamcha's foot.
"OW!"
Yamcha jumped back, hopping on one leg while everyone burst into laughter.
After joking around, the Z Fighters continued helping with the rescue effort. Together, they freed everyone trapped beneath the rubble and ensured the injured civilians received medical attention.
Once the crisis had passed, Bulma gathered everyone together.
"All right! Since everyone worked so hard, food's ready!"
The exhausted group quickly washed their hands before digging into the enormous feast Bulma had prepared.
As everyone ate, Yamcha couldn't resist.
"Hey, everyone! You should've seen Krillin earlier!"
Krillin immediately froze tried to scare yamcha "Yamcha NO don't even thin..."
"He thought that girl was crying because she couldn't get his phone number!"
The table erupted into laughter.
"No!" Krillin shouted, his face turning bright red. "That's not what happened!"
Yamcha continued laughing.
"She was crying because her injured leg hurt, but our buddy here thought she was heartbroken!"
"Yamcha!" Krillin yelled. "Just wait until I finish eating! I'm gonna beat you!"
Which make Everyone laughed even harder as Even Goku couldn't stop chuckling.
"Krillin, you're funny."
"I'm not trying to be funny!" Krillin groaned.
After dinner, the two settled their argument the only way martial artists sometimes did when nothing serious was at stake.
Rock... Paper... Scissors.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Krillin lost Again.
Yamcha folded his arms triumphantly "As punishment, your dare is simple."
Krillin sighed.
"What now?"
"You have to take Isha out on a proper date." said Yamcha
Krillin's face immediately turned bright red.
"W-What?!"
"No backing out," Yamcha said with a grin.
Life slowly returned to normal.
Over the next month,
the roads were repaired, damaged buildings were rebuilt, and West City gradually recovered from the battle.
Two weeks later, Isha was finally discharged from Capsule Corp's medical center and Keeping her promise, she invited Krillin to dinner.
Although he claimed it was only because of Yamcha's dare, Krillin accepted and to his surprise, the evening went incredibly well.
The two found it easy to talk to each other and found that they shared many of the same interests, laughed at the same jokes, and conversation flowed naturally.
What started as one dinner soon became another.
Then another.
Before long, they were meeting regularly for coffee, walking around West City together, and simply enjoying each other's company.
Whenever Gohan who had previously seen Krillin struggling around women, he would have laughed.
Unfortunately, he wasn't there for that anymore.
Meanwhile...
In an endless realm where light and darkness blended together Gohan wandered alone as to him many year had passed since he had used the Sacrifice Technique.
At first When he regained consciousness, he had awakened inside a strange world as It reminded him of Limbo from Naruto with some Black mist intertwined with white light.
There was no sky, ground,wind,sound and no sense of direction and no matter how far he walked, the scenery never changed.
There was only endless silence.
"I don't get it..."
Gohan muttered.
"When I used the technique... I should've died."
He frowned.
"I should've gone to the Other World infront of King Yama or maybe even returned to my original world before I was reincarnated but Neither of that had happened but Instead i am trapped here and What is this place?"
He continued walking through the endless void.
"Is it because I'm an isekai reincarnation? I don't truly belong to the Dragon Ball universe..."
He shook his head.
"As I don't go back to my world which mean i don't belong to my old world anymore either, So where exactly am I?"
He searched endlessly as days became weeks and Weeks became months and Months became a year.
Yet he never found another soul other than himself.
"i just hope Shenron can still revive me someday."
He sighed.
"I really don't want to spend eternity in this place."
Unbeknownst to Gohan...
Someone had been watching him the entire time.
Floating silently atop a black Truth-Seeking Orb was an elderly man dressed in flowing white robes.
A pair of ripple-patterned purple eyes observed Gohan carefully and Above his Eyes in his Forehead was a crimson third eye with Small horns protruded from his forehead.
It was Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
"Interesting..."
The Sage of Six Paths stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"A child, A truly fascinating child."
He continued watching.
"He has absorbed NULL energy that shouldn't be absorbable as Even beings like us the guardiansn Kai and even Supreme Kai's who stand outside ordinary life and death cannot normally wield such power." [NULL ENERGY IS A ENERGY THAT CAN"T BE ERASED "Even by Zeno "(Remember when Future Erased his Time line at what remain was white and rainbowish energy that is NULL energy )] [Note :- I added this For something Intresting in future]
His gaze remained fixed on Gohan.
"And yet He belongs to Earth habitated by remain's of people of Terra Empire and a world different from my Shinobi World but filled with people with Extreme potential even Human can Achieve power Far Surpassing Mine's."
Hagoromo sighed quietly.
"If only Naruto had pursued strength with this level of dedication as So much tragedy could have been prevented as Naruto possessed Most of the potential as Reincarnation of Ashura and , yet his dream of becoming Hokage always came first."
"He became powerful enough to protect others but not always prepared enough to protect himself."
A trace of regret crossed the Sage's face.
"And Sasuke my son Indra's reincarnation as He awakened the Rinnesharingan due to my help and yet never explored even half of what it truly offered."
"The Rinne-sharingan grants mastery over every chakra nature there is even Yin and Yang and It enhances the body and opens countless possibilities but he relied on only a fraction of its true potential."
Hagoromo closed his eyes briefly.
"If I weren't forbidden from interfering directly with Mortal life's by Supreme kai's and if King Yemma permitted it I would've ended the Ōtsutsuki and Shibai's threat myself long ago."
His attention returned to Gohan.
"This child has devoured Null Energy a power that existed before the beginning and given new form's of Power's such as Nen, Chakra, Haki Touki, Cosmo and many more ."
"But the Boy doesn't understand it yet but perhaps One day He will."
A faint smile appeared on the Sage's face.
Back on Earth...
Another six months passed.
Chi-Chi's pregnancy had become clearly visible as One afternoon, Goku suggested,
"Chi-Chi... maybe we should hire someone to help around the house as we don't even have money shortage ."
She immediately shook her head.
"I'm not that fragile as When I was pregnant with Gohan, I handled everything myself."
She smiled confidently.
"Now I'm a martial artist again and now I can use ki to so My body's much stronger than before but I just need to be careful during the last month or two."
Goku scratched the back of his head as Since he knew absolutely nothing about pregnancy, he simply trusted his wife.
"Still No heavy lifting chichi," he said firmly.
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes as smile formed on her Lips .
"I know."
From then on, Goku took over the farming, hunting, and every physically demanding chore around Mount Paozu because he like doing that .
Chi-Chi focused on lighter work and preparing for the baby.
One quiet afternoon,
Chi-Chi rested on the sofa, gently rubbing her stomach as She looked toward her husband .
"Goku , It's been almost a whole year but Why hasn't Gohan come home yet?"
There was worry in her voice and hearing that Goku's smile slowly faded as He sat beside her and gently held her hand.
".Chi-Chi, I've been meaning to tell you something."
His unusually serious tone immediately made her heart sink.
"What is it?"
Goku took a deep breath.
"Gohan didn't stay in space to train."
Chi-Chi blinked.
"...What do you mean?"
As Fear slowly crept into her eyes.
"Goku, what happened to our son?"
Goku closed his eyes for a moment before answering.
"Gohan gave his life to bring me back."
Silence filled the room.
"He asked me not to tell anyone as He didn't want everyone worrying about him but today marks exactly one year."
"So now, I'm going to gather the Dragon Balls and bring our son home."
For several long seconds Chi-Chi didn't say a word as She simply stared at him and Then She slowly stood up as Her fists clenched.
Veins appeared on her forehead and Her Ki aura almost seemed visible.
Instead of crying Her famous Saiyan-level motherly fury awakened.
"When that boy comes back..."
She growled through gritted teeth.
"I'm going to beat him senseless for sacrificing himself without telling his own mother!"
Then Chi-Chi turned to Goku, her eyes blazing with determination.
"Then what are you waiting for, Honey?! Hurry! Go borrow the Dragon Radar from Bulma and collect the Dragon Balls!"
The tone in her voice sent a chill down Goku's spine.
"O-Okay!" Goku replied without hesitation.
Using Instant Transmission, Goku arrived at Capsule Corp, borrowed Bulma's Dragon Radar, and spent the next half-day collecting all seven Dragon Balls.
Before summoning Shenron, however, he wanted to find Piccolo.
Piccolo was calm, intelligent, reliable, and, most importantly, he cared about Gohan as much as anyone. Goku trusted him to handle the wish carefully, knowing Piccolo was far better with words than he was.
When Piccolo learned the truth that Gohan had sacrificed his own life to bring Goku back as his expression darkened.
"That idiot ! Why didn't he tell me?"
For a brief moment, genuine anger flashed across Piccolo's face. Gohan wasn't merely his student anymore. To Piccolo, he was like a son.
Without wasting time, Piccolo contacted King Kai through telepathy.
"King Kai,Can you bring Gohan's real body out."
"Right away," King Kai answered.
On King Kai's planet,
Metal Gohan was currently preserving the remaining fragment of Gohan's consciousness while the real body rested in a deep sleep.
King Kai carefully brought Gohan's body forward and the moment he saw him, he froze.
His appearance had changed dramatically.
His once-black hair had become pure white and had grown all the way to the ground. His eyebrows had also turned white, and his Saiyan tail had regrown to its full length, matching the color of his hair.
King Kai scratched his head.
"His body's here, but. something happened to it. I don't know why he looks like this."
Back on Earth,
at the sacred Dragon Ball site, Goku placed the seven Dragon Balls on the ground.
"Arise, Shenron and grant my wish!"
Dark clouds instantly covered the sky.
Lightning flashed.
The seven Dragon Balls glowed brilliantly before the mighty Blue Eternal Dragon appeared above them.
Nearby, Chi-Chi, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Yamcha, and Launch sensed Shenron's immense energy and hurried over.
When they arrived, they found Goku and Piccolo standing before the colossal dragon.
Goku rubbed the back of his head.
"Piccolo can you make the wish? You're better with words than I am. I don't want to mess this up."
Piccolo nodded.
"Fine."
He looked up at Shenron.
"Shenron please revive Son Gohan."
The Eternal Dragon remained silent as Several long moments passed as Finally, Shenron spoke in his deep, echoing voice.
"I cannot grant that wish directly ."
and that Hearing Everyone froze nut shenron continued
"Gohan's natural lifespan has already been exhausted. His soul has fallen into a deep slumber within Limbo. I cannot revive him directly."
"What?"
The color drained from Chi-Chi's face as Krillin and Yamcha stared at Shenron in disbelief.
But Piccolo narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking something
"W-What do we do now?" Chi-Chi whispered, barely holding back her tears.
After Piccolo quickly explained everything, Krillin and Yamcha finally understood why Gohan had disappeared.
The group stood in stunned silence as Piccolo looked toward Shenron again.
"What if you increase Gohan's lifespan first? Then could you wake him up?"
Shenron became silent once more.
Finally, he answered.
"To awaken Son Gohan, I would first need to restore his lifespan by ten thousand years."
A brief pause followed.
"Shall I use your second wish to awaken him?"
Piccolo's eye twitched.
"...What kind of sneaky dragon is this? I only asked a question! and I didn't make a wish!"
Before Piccolo could object, Shenron had already restored Gohan's lifespan by ten thousand years.
Piccolo immediately raised a hand.
"Hold it! before completing Second Wish "
Then he looked upward.
"King Kai! Check on Gohan first! See if restoring his lifespan woke him up! as I've been watching the whole time," King Kai replied. "Give me a second."
Even Shenron looked slightly confused after hearing King Kai's voice came from no where but a second later he realize the Source of Voice.
On King Kai's planet...
King Kai walked over to Gohan.
"Gohan?"
But he got no response as he tried to slapped him across the face Once and thenn Twice but in the end nothing worked .
King Kai checked his pulse.
"His Heartbeat's back." as He listened carefully "And he's breathing again."
King Kai smiled and then he picked up an enormous bucket filled with ice-cold water.
"Well ! there's only one thing left and i alway's want to to this ."
SPLASH!!
As He dumped the entire bucket over Gohan.
Inside the endless world of black and white
Gohan suddenly felt freezing water pour over him.
"WAAAH!!"
He shot upright.
"Who did that?!"
At the same time, a blinding light pierced the endless darkness.
"My eyes!"
He covered them instinctively.
It felt exactly like when Chi-Chi used to wake him for school when he was Small while opening the curtains, switching on every light possible in his room and turning off the fan, and yanking away his blanket all at once.
Slowly, his vision adjusted at first he He blinked several times.
".King Kai?"
He looked around in shock as He was no longer trapped inside the endless world of light and darkness.
He had somehow escaped and was back on King Kai's planet.
King Kai smiled proudly.
"You're finally awake, Gohan!"
Gohan looked at the soaked clothes clinging to his body before glaring at the giant bucket in King Kai's hand.
"So king kai , You're the one who dumped freezing water on me?"
King Kai laughed awkwardly.
"Haha... well, you wouldn't wake up no matter what I did."
He scratched his cheek.
"So you know desperate times."
Then King Kai continued.
"Anyway, Shenron restored your lifespan. You now have another ten thousand years to live. Since your life has been restored, your soul returned to your body."
Gohan blinked.
"I'm. alive again hmm?"
Then he noticed something strange that His wristwatch the one connected to his clone and memories had returned to his wrist and Before he could think any further, King Kai waved a hand.
A massive mirror appeared in front of Gohan.
"Take a look."
Gohan walked over and the moment he saw his reflection.
"...Huh?"
A giant question mark practically appeared over his head as his height had increased and His body had become far more muscular.
That much made sense.
But. "My hair..."
His eyes widened as His hair was completely white and his eyebrows were white as well and his hair now stretched all the way to the ground.
Gohan stared at himself for several long seconds before muttering,
"Don't tell me" as His eye twitched.
"Did I somehow become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"
Another thought immediately followed.
"or" as His eyes widened even further "Did dying somehow unlock Ultra Instinct?"
"Oh" Gohan muttered as he looked at his reflection again. "So my lifespan was completely exhausted and that's why my hair turned white?"
He scratched his head.
"Kind of like in Mushoku tensei " he thought and then he looked at King Kai.
"King Kai, I'll head back to Earth now. We can talk later."
King Kai nodded.
"All right. Take care, Gohan."
Without another word, Gohan placed two fingers on his forehead.
Instant Transmission! and in an instant, he vanished from King Kai's planet.
The moment Gohan appeared on Earth, everyone stared at him as His sudden return was surprising enough but his appearance left everyone speechless.
His snow-white hair flowed all the way to the ground, matching his white eyebrows and tail.
For a moment, complete silence filled the area.
Gohan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Well, I have no idea what happened to my hair either."
He smiled helplessly.
"But this isn't the time to worry about that. Let's finish our business with Shenron first."
He looked toward Piccolo.
"Uncle Piccolo! I want to restore the missing part of my soul. I lost it when I used that sacrifice technique."
Piccolo folded his arms.
"Gohan, we've only got one wish left."
Before anyone could continue, Shenron spoke.
"You have one wish remaining. If you do not make it soon, I shall depart."
Gohan blinked.
"Wait, Didn't I have Kami upgrade Shenron? but Why does he seem downgraded?"
He couldn't help thinking,
"This Shenron feels much more impatient than before."
Gohan looked directly into Shenron's eyes.
For some reason Shenron felt strangely uncomfortable as It was almost as if someone far above him was silently judging him.
After thinking for a moment, Gohan looked back at Piccolo.
"Then, can Shenron restore the missing part of my soul? Would that hurt me?"
Piccolo nodded.
"Good question."
He looked up.
"Shenron, can Gohan recover the missing fragment of his soul?"
The Eternal Dragon remained silent for several moments.
Finally, he answered.
"I cannot grant that wish."
"Why?" Gohan asked.
Shenron continued.
"The fragment you seek has already formed in new body and it's alive and is no longer dead."
"It now exists within another body same as your."
Everyone froze.
"...Another me?"
Gohan frowned.
"So, my missing soul fragment actually got new body ?"
He immediately closed his eyes and tried sensing it.
Nothing.
Not even the slightest trace.
"Strange, Why can't I sense it?"
After thinking for a moment, Gohan looked back up.
"Then, could you teleport that person here?"
Shenron shook his head.
"I cannot, The individual has refused the summons so Please choose another wish."
After a brief pause, Shenron added,
"You need not worry about your soul anymore as When I restored your lifespan, your soul became stable once again and with time incomplete part of soul will formed a new , and it will no longer harm you."
Gohan nodded slowly.
"I see..."
Then he sighed.
Shenron remained completely silent as now There was nothing he wanted to say.
Gohan rubbed his forehead.
"Looks like the situation has become far more complicated than I expected."
After a long silence, he turned toward everyone.
"Forget it, I'm not going to waste our last wish."
He smiled.
"Does anyone else have something they want?"
Everyone looked at one another as Finally, Tenshinhan stepped forward.
"Actually, About six months ago, when those new Androids attacked."
He looked toward Gohan.
"The earthquake they caused destroyed many buildingsand a lot of people were injured."
"Some are still in hospitals recovering and I was wondering Should we use Shenron to repair the remaining damage and heal everyone who was injured?"
Gohan looked surprised.
"What happened? Did anyone die?"
Tenshinhan shook his head.
"No, Thankfully, nobody died But many people were seriously injured when buildings collapsed."
He then explained everything that had happened while Gohan was gone, including the appearance of Androids 31, 41, 51, and 91, and how Goku and the others had defeated them.
Gohan listened quietly.
"So, Dr. Gero really did have another hidden backup beneath the Earth's crust."
He thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"If no one died ,Then Earth will eventually rebuild itself."
Then another thought crossed his mind as He looked at everyone.
"How about we revive Android 17 instead? and we all know what truth is now and I think that's the best use of our final wish."
Everyone exchanged glances and One after another, they nodded.
"I agree," Krillin said.
"Me too," Yamcha added.
"It sounds fair," Tenshinhan replied.
Piccolo nodded once.
"No objections."
Gohan looked up at Shenron.
"Shenron, Please revive Android 17./71 and also known as Lapis."
Shenron's eyes glowed crimson.
"Your wish has been granted."
A brilliant golden light shot into the sky before streaking across the planet toward its destination.
Moments later, Shenron's body began turning to stone and the dark clouds disappeared.
Sunlight once again illuminated the sky as the Dragon Balls scattered across Earth.
Before Gohan could react
"Gohan!"
Chi-Chi ran straight toward him and wrapped him in the tightest hug she could manage.
"My baby!"
Tears streamed down her face as Gohan smiled warmly as he hugged her back.
Then he suddenly noticed something.
He looked down.
"...Mom? When did your stomach get so big?" as He blinked and relized ."How many months pregnant are you?"
Chi-Chi laughed through her tears.
"Six months, you silly boy." as She gently flicked his forehead "Unlike your father, I actually keep track of these things."
Then her expression softened.
"Your father lied to everyone he told us you'd gone into space to train."
She hugged him even tighter, burying her face against his chest, while Gohan's long white hair draped around both of them like a blanket.
