_____________________________________________

It's been a day after the fight with Orochimaru and the group consisting of Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune, Naruto, and a sleeping Goku carried on the back of Tsunade. They were finally heading back to Konoha.

Jiraiya: It would be best if we stop to get a break. Since there is a village in the surrounding area, we ought to make our temporary stay there for the day.

Tsunade: No.

The tone of Tsunade's voice expressed both rage and frustration as she responded rapidly.

Jiraiya: Tsunade, we need a rest. We all have been walking for a full day now. Even you need a rest.

Tsunade: I said no, I won't stop until I get Goku to Konoha and straight to the hospital.

Goku was woken up from his sleep and started opening his eyes as a result of the argument that took place between Tsunade and Jiraiya. Goku maintained his silence in order to listen to and understand the meaning of the argument actively. Goku still felt weak and finally spoke in a low and quiet voice but still loud enough to be heard by anyone around him.

Goku: That's enough. Mom Jiraiya is right. We all need to rest, especially you, mom. I might been unconscious for the last day, but I could sense how you were pumping your Chakra into me. You won't last any longer if we continue.

With a smile on his face, Goku raised his head and sniffed the air three times.

Goku: Sniff, sniff, sniff. Plus, there's a hot spring in the village. That would be great for some relaxation for everyone.

Tsunade: but-

Immediately after Tsunade started to speak, Goku interrupted her and cut her off.

Goku: Come on, Mom, it's been a while since the last time we all enjoyed the hot spring together as a family.

Shizune: Goku is right Lady Tsunade. We can use the rest.

Tsunade noticed she was outnumbered and finally agreed.

Tsunade: Okay, fine, we'll make our way there.

Then Tsunade narrows her eyes and looks at Jiraiya.

Tsunade: Jiraiya, if I find out this is just one of your excuses to do your perverted investigation towards your stupid books, I will castrate you painfully.

Shizune: I'll help.

Jiraiya then stood behind Naruto as he laughed nervously.

Apart from Goku, everyone else checked into the hotel later in the morning and was given their rooms. He had hoped to accompany Jiraiya and Naruto but ended up accompanying Shizune and his mother instead; Tsunade claimed he was hurt and needed someone to check over him. Who better than his mother, an expert on medical ninjutsu, so he stayed behind?

Just as Goku was about to relax in the hot spring, he started to get a headache as flashes of his battle began to resurface between him and Orochimaru.

Flashback

As Goku stood in his new form, he looked down at Orochimaru and Kabuto, getting ready to pounce on them if they attempted to make a sudden move without warning.

Goku adopted a combative stance. The distance between his feet was similar to that of a shoulder; his knees were slightly bent, and his arms were extended forward. He is holding his hands shut, and his body is inclined toward Orochimaru.
