Previously, only the four King Kais had permanent residences on the Grand Kai's Planet; now, Ino enjoyed the same treatment.
At this level, much like the North Kai, life and death were irrelevant. Even if she died, as long as she could return, this house would still belong to her.
Having a house was equivalent to having an identity card; she was no longer a "visitor," but a permanent resident.
This made things much more convenient.
Ino also used the opportunities during car races to ask some private questions.
Some questions the North Kai didn't know the answers to, but the Grand Kai, who was like the general manager of the universe, certainly would.
"Lord Grand Kai, do you know about the Otsutsuki God?" she asked.
The hippie-dressed Grand Kai glanced at her and said very casually, "I know about him."
"Where did this Otsutsuki God go? Is he still in the current universe?"
The Grand Kai laughed heartily, his voice a bit high and thin: "Current universe? That depends on how you understand the concept of the current universe. That pretty little head of yours is lacking too much knowledge. He isn't within the scope of the universe as you understand it. Currently, he should have gone to the Demon Realm. Who knows, maybe he'll become a Demon Realm King in the future."
Ino: "..."
Is he that awesome? Sounds fierce.
She still had questions in her heart, hesitating for a moment, seemingly unsure how to broach the subject.
The Grand Kai let out a "hmph": "You want to plant trees too? That fellow's so-called theory of planting God Trees is completely heretical. What is the essence of a God Tree? It's actually your Otsutsuki clan members. He devours your essence to nourish himself. Do you want to devour your own kin too? That guy has long since fallen into evil."
Is that so? Ino felt the Grand Kai made a lot of sense, so she asked bluntly, "Lord Grand Kai, if this Otsutsuki God comes looking for me in the future, what should I do?"
The Grand Kai held up four fingers of his left hand, thought for a moment, felt it wasn't enough, and extended another finger: "Six is a very magical number. If you can get five Otsutsuki to willingly transfer their energy to you, then you can obtain the power to resist that Otsutsuki God. Remember, it must be voluntary. Only through free will can you obtain power of a higher energy level than what you speak of. That Otsutsuki God devouring countless Chakra Fruits is actually just to seize this kind of power."
Ino was dumbfounded. Five Otsutsuki? Where was she supposed to find five Otsutsuki nowadays? And this process of transferring power sounded a bit familiar...
With private matters settled, official business had to be put on the agenda.
Temporarily ending her training on the Grand Kai's Planet, the North Kai took Ino to visit the King Kai's Planets of the other three King Kais.
The preparatory work Ino was responsible for next couldn't proceed without the assistance of the four King Kais. The North Kai knew of her Crossing Moon Bridge ability and led her around to "scout the locations."
The first stop was the West Kai's Planet.
She had already met the West Kai. This guy had always been holding back, wanting to become the leader of the four King Kais. The West Kai's Planet had the largest surface area. Compared to the palm-sized celestial body of the North Kai's Planet, the West Kai's Planet had mountains and water, and was at least five times larger. His planet not only hosted warriors undergoing training but also a large number of servants and musicians.
The two sides had nothing to say to each other. The North Kai was incredibly happy, acting like a cheerful fat man, while the West Kai's face was full of gloom, almost chasing the two of them out in the end.
Afterwards, they went to see the East Kai.
The East Kai was a fat female King Kai whose favorite daily activity was also racing cars.
Regarding the First Other World Martial Arts Tournament, the East Kai appeared very calm. To sum it up in one sentence: What does it have to do with me!
Finally, they met the South Kai.
Are the King Kais stupid? Actually, the four King Kais aren't stupid at all.
The public hobbies of the North Kai, East Kai, and West Kai were all car racing, while the South Kai's hobby was singing. You say their hobbies have nothing to do with the Grand Kai? Only a fool would believe that!
The North Kai's driving skills were unbelievably rotten, and the South Kai's singing voice was also tone-deaf, making people want to die upon hearing it.
The other three King Kais all had short and stout physiques, but the South Kai was considered the most normal. This guy was very tall, and his battle power ranked first among the four King Kais. The South Galaxy sector he governed was also a place brimming with martial virtue.
He was quite enthusiastic about the martial arts tournament, but upon hearing that Ino, this disciple of the North Kai, was responsible for the preliminary preparations, his expression instantly became very ugly.
"Just watch, my South Galaxy warriors are the strongest! None of you are up to par!"
The martial-virtue-filled South Kai instantly placed himself in opposition to the other three King Kais.
The North Kai took Ino for a big run around the entire universe. The blue fatty was so tired he kept wiping sweat. Ino expressed her gratitude for this; if no one had led her, the King Kais wouldn't have paid any attention to her if she just showed up at their door.
Ino returned to the North Kai's Planet with the North Kai and unexpectedly saw Son Goku, who was training with the monkey Bubbles.
This guy's talent was indeed strong. He had now overcome the ten-times gravity. The North Kai asked him to tell a joke to make him laugh, and Son Goku told the famous "quilt on the back" joke, successfully making the King Kai laugh and obtaining the qualification to train on the King Kai's Planet.
Ino was very busy. After resting briefly, she bid them farewell.
She went directly to the underworld on the Earth side to inquire about the candidates for the competition from here.
The four King Kais could treat this matter calmly—it didn't matter if they did well or poorly—but King Yama really couldn't. Faced with the task assigned by the Grand Kai, he very seriously sorted through the candidates.
Ino glanced at the list and found they were all martial artists of the older generation from Earth, such as Mutaito and the Earthling Son Gohan.
She took a look from afar at Mutaito, who was training.
How should she put it? She could only say that the underworld was indeed a good place for training people!
When Mutaito was alive, he could be described as excelling in both virtue and art, a pinnacle of martial arts and so on, but this pinnacle was easily defeated by King Piccolo.
After Mutaito died and trained in the underworld, he could defeat the young Goku who had drunk the Ultra Divine Water a few years ago.
The old man's strength had already surpassed King Piccolo and also surpassed Earth's Master Roshi.
Ino went to inquire in the underworlds under the command of the other few King Kais and discovered that there were truly quite a few experts in the underworld. The energy here was sufficient, and if a martial artist had firm willpower and trained bitterly for hundreds or thousands of years, breaking through racial limits would be like child's play.
She didn't see Pikkon, who could compete with Son Goku for the championship of the First Other World Martial Arts Tournament in the original timeline, and she didn't know where this person was right now.
Ino felt there were many experts and that her side had absolutely no assurance of winning the championship. So she awakened the soul of the Second Tsuchikage and had him apply the "Super Added-Weight Rock Technique" to the Blue Planet Team, making them train under immense additional weight.
The Fourth Raikage liked this training method the most. His previous complaints about painting disappeared instantly, and he trained happily by himself.
Kitsuchi had trained like this from childhood to adulthood, so he didn't feel there was any problem.
