"So, Brother, why don't we revive Dad?"

"Revive him? You mean with the Dragon Balls?"

"Yeah!"

"Actually, we wanted to revive Dad back then too, but he didn't really agree, so he stayed in the Underworld to train!"

"Then, why don't we think of a way to revive Dad?"

"But what way is there?"

"Dad, where in the Underworld is he right now?"

"I think he's with Lord Kai!"

"Lord Kai?"

Son Goten pretended not to know.

Gohan nodded.

"Lord Kai is the god who manages the North Galaxy!"

"Then how did Dad meet him?"

"That's a long story. After we finish eating, I'll tell you, okay?"

After they finished eating, Gohan told Son Goten about the invasion by Raditz back in the day.

Son Goten: "So Trunks' dad was a bad guy before!"

"Yeah, but Uncle Vegeta has mended his ways now!"

Son Goten nodded.

Afterward, Son Goten left Gohan's room and returned to his own.

His current strength had already reached Super Saiyan Third Grade, so defeating Son Goku shouldn't be a problem.

However, his strength was improving too quickly. He should wait a month or two before finding Son Goku to fight and defeat him.

Afternoon.

After Son Goten woke up from his nap, he saw Trunks come to find him.

"Trunks, why are you here?"

"How can you even say that? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been dragged by my dad to train!"

"Trunks, you can't completely blame me. I can only say your dad is too competitive!"

"By the way, Goten, my dad said you surpassed Super Saiyan?"

Son Goten nodded.

"Goten, how exactly did you train? How did your strength suddenly become so great?"

"I don't know either. Maybe the potential hidden within me awakened!"

"Potential?"

Trunks listened, half-believing, half-doubting.

"Then, Goten, can you transform into Super Saiyan 2 for me to see?"

"Of course, but it's not very convenient here. Shall we go to the back of the mountain?"

Trunks nodded.

A moment later, the two arrived at the back of the mountain.

Son Goten clenched his fists fiercely, and an incredibly astonishing aura emanated from his entire body, rapidly ascending.

"Zzz... Crackle..."

BOOM!!

With an incredibly astonishing aura, Son Goten transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

"Is this Super Saiyan 2? It looks so cool!"

Trunks said enviously in his heart.

Son Goten nodded.

Seeing Trunks' envious expression, Son Goten actually wanted to say that he had even more powerful transformations.

But in order not to dampen Trunks' motivation to train, he decided to show them at a more suitable time in the future.

With that thought, Son Goten immediately reverted to his normal state.

Since the two hadn't seen each other in a long time, Trunks played at Mount Paozu for the entire afternoon before leaving.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Two months passed, and Son Goten's strength had improved considerably.

At this moment, Son Goten was inside a palace in a desert oasis.

This palace was none other than Fortune Teller Baba's palace.

Fortune Teller Baba: "You're saying you want me to take you to the Underworld to find Goku?"

"Yes!"

Son Goten nodded.

"Does Chi-Chi know about this?"

Fortune Teller Baba asked.

"She doesn't, but I won't be staying in the Underworld for too long. I'll be back soon!"

After hearing this, Fortune Teller Baba hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Alright, but you can't stay there too long!"

Son Goten nodded.

Seeing this, Fortune Teller Baba immediately took Son Goten to the Underworld.

King Enma's Hall.

King Enma was currently busy with his work when two figures walked in from outside the hall.

These two were Fortune Teller Baba and Son Goten.

"Fortune Teller Baba!"

King Enma said in surprise upon seeing Fortune Teller Baba's sudden arrival.

Fortune Teller Baba nodded.

"It's been a while, Lord King Enma!"

"And who is this?"

King Enma looked at Son Goten.

"He's Son Goku's youngest son, Son Goten!"

"Son Goten?"

"Then why did you bring him here?"

"He said he wants to see Goku!"

"Seeing Goku is no problem, but can he manage to run the Snake Way?"

King Enma asked.

"Don't worry, his current strength has already surpassed Gohan's!"

"Sur... surpassed Gohan's!"

King Enma was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Son Goten looked no older than six or seven years old, yet his strength had already surpassed Son Gohan's.

"That's right!"

Fortune Teller Baba nodded calmly.

"Then can you let him go to the Snake Way now?"

King Enma nodded and called over an imp.

"Imp, take him to the Snake Way!"

"Yes, Lord King Enma!"

The imp saluted King Enma.

After speaking, the imp immediately led Son Goten out of King Enma's hall and onto the Snake Way.

The Snake Way, just as its name suggested, was winding and twisting like a snake.

"This is the Snake Way. The Son Goku you're looking for is on the planet at the end of the Snake Way. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

Son Goten nodded.

The imp turned around and started walking back.

But before he could take a few steps, a sound suddenly came from behind him.

The imp, feeling a bit curious, turned around and looked back.

He discovered that Son Goten was faster than a rocket and had already flown thousands of meters away.

"He just said... his name was Son Go... ten."

On North Kai's Planet.

Son Goku, with a halo on his head, was currently undergoing weighted training.

North Kai and Bubbles stood to the side, watching Son Goku train.

Suddenly, Son Goku stopped training and looked towards Snake Way.

North Kai followed Son Goku's gaze and looked towards Snake Way as well.

Suddenly, a white light appeared and flew towards them at an astonishing speed.

As the white light got closer, Son Goku saw someone who resembled him when he was younger. It was Son Goten.

North Kai: "This child looks just like Goku!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Son Goten landed on North Kai's Planet.

"Who are you?"

North Kai asked.

"Hello, my name is Son Goten, and I've come to find my Dad!"

"Dad? Don't tell me you're Goku's son?"

Son Goten nodded and looked at Son Goku.

"You're my son?"

Son Goku exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't been in contact with Gohan and his group all these years, so he didn't know he had another child.

Son Goten nodded.

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm here to discuss the matter of resurrection!"

"Resurrection?"

Son Goten nodded.

"My brother and the others all want you to be resurrected!"

"I'm fine here, it doesn't matter if I'm not resurrected!"
