Killer B's swordsmanship pursued speed and eerie angles of attack, while Zabuza Momochi's swordsmanship sought a balance between power and speed; both of them could endure the high-load training.
Fu was the one suffering the most. With the Super Added-Weight Rock Technique pressing down on her body, she couldn't even fly. It was only after Ino gave her a burst of encouragement that the little girl recovered her energy and began to train with huffs and puffs.
...
Whether it was to ensure the North Kai wouldn't lose his "little nest" due to a bet, or to prove her own capabilities, the North Galaxy had to win this martial arts tournament.
If that were the sole objective, it would actually be quite easy. Once Son Goku died, the North Galaxy would naturally take the championship without much effort.
But that championship would have nothing to do with Ino. Plus, she would have to wait more than twenty years. How old would she be in twenty years? Over forty! Just thinking about it felt like a waste of time.
To make the North Galaxy win, and to make the Blue Planet Team win now, she really needed to put in some thought.
Go kill Frieza now, forge evidence that he was a good person, and then claim this guy was a Konoha ninja? Would anyone believe that?
Ino shook her head straight away. That move definitely wouldn't work. The most critical point was that she couldn't beat Frieza...
Relying on these few from the shinobi world was a bit difficult. How about "naturalizing" a few powerhouses?
Actually, speaking of which, Frieza and his father were definitely powerhouses. Even guys like the God of Destruction Beerus knew Frieza's name. Was there a race stronger than that father and son duo?
The answer was definitely yes. Before transmigrating, those elementary schoolers singing "Lonely Warrior" probably all knew the name of the Super Saiyan.
Taking Mutaito as an example: a normal martial artist, even if his body never aged, even with plenty of seniors and juniors around to spar with, and a will firmer than stone, training sleeplessly for a thousand years—without a special opportunity, Ino felt Mutaito still wouldn't be able to beat a Super Saiyan...
She pondered repeatedly and finally settled on a "naturalization" target: the legendary Super Saiyan! The father of Son Goku and Raditz, Bardock!
A low-class warrior of the Saiyans was equivalent to a Genin of Konoha Village... that was an extremely twisted existence.
If a Saiyan lacked potential, they couldn't upgrade to become a mid-class warrior, much like how the Chunin Exams tormented Naruto for a lifetime.
Son Goku's father, Bardock, was said to be a low-class warrior with a battle power as high as 10,000.
When Frieza attacked Planet Vegeta, he resisted alone. Finally, on the verge of death, he was swept into a turbulence of time and transported to Planet Plant of a thousand years ago. This planet was what would later become Planet Vegeta.
The Planet Plant of the past was a beautiful planet with a comfortable climate suitable for living. It was only renamed Planet Vegeta after the indigenous people were slaughtered by the Saiyans.
Bardock's process of traveling back a thousand years was a bit like Minato and Naruto's experience going to Rouran. However, Minato and Naruto only traveled twenty years; once the Dragon Vein energy stabilized, they were squeezed out. The time span of Bardock's travel was too vast. Even if he became a Super Saiyan, facing a gap of a thousand years, he could only sigh in resignation.
This wasn't a problem that could be solved by relying on shockwaves.
He died, perishing on the Planet Plant of a thousand years ago.
Because Planet Vegeta had been destroyed by Frieza, the underworld corresponding to that planet had also fallen into silence. Speaking of which, the current Bardock had no affiliation with any underworld. He was a proper "wild general" and an excellent candidate for "naturalization."
Pull his soul to the Blue Planet, help him reshape a body, and then say he was a Saiyan who landed in Konoha Village. Procedurally speaking, there would be no problems whatsoever.
Ino's Nai-He Bridge could forcibly awaken a soul through ashes, but the premise was that she had to have the ashes. she and Bardock were complete strangers, and the guy died a thousand years ago—now that the planet had exploded, where was she supposed to find ashes?
"Hmm... a bit troublesome..." Ino quickly ran through her current abilities and usable items in her mind.
"Better find someone to ask."
...
Earth.
Raditz had the energy pathways in his body sealed, and Kami fed him sleeping potions from time to time. During these days on Earth, he had been locked in the prison of Kami's Lookout, groggy every day, with less than an hour of lucidity per day.
"Bastard woman! You're dead! I must see Vegeta twist your head off with my own eyes!" Raditz raged impotently for a while. The sleeping potion caused him to hallucinate heavily; in a trance, he felt that hateful woman appear before his eyes again.
"Smack." A slap across the face with the forehand, followed by another slap with the backhand.
Raditz's eyes were full of fury. He ground his teeth for a long while before finally seeing clearly the person in front of him.
Ino looked at him with a faint smile. "Vegeta? If Vegeta found you in this pathetic state, he would definitely kill you first."
Raditz's right hand was behind his back, his arm trembling uncontrollably. At such close range, he discovered that this woman was much stronger than when they last met. Except for lacking that heavy killing intent, he almost felt the same sensation as facing Vegeta.
"You... What do you want!"
"Nothing much. Just asking you something. What does your father, Bardock, look like? Is he exactly the same as Son... uh? Is he exactly the same as Kakarot? Wearing a red headband, with a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek?"
Raditz was completely bewildered. You came all the way to Earth just to ask about my dad?
He nodded stiffly. Seeing a bit more sharpness in Ino's eyes, he immediately added, "Saiyan low-class warriors all look about the same. He indeed looks very much like Kakarot..."
Ino nodded gently. "Then when did you Saiyans move to Planet Plant? Never heard of that name? No way? Planet Plant is what you call Planet Vegeta. When did you move there?"
Raditz tentatively said, "Five hundred years ago?"
Ino's voice rose two octaves. "You're asking me?"
"I don't know either! We are a fighting race, we never record these things! Who would remember something from so long ago!"
Ino glared at him. "You're playing tough with me? Believe it or not, I'll pull your soul out right now. Hurry up and recall. Which year exactly did you Saiyans migrate to Planet Vegeta? Give me an accurate time point."
Raditz wanted to cry but had no tears. Saiyan schools only taught combat skills. Historical knowledge? They just glanced at it briefly; it wasn't tested in the exams at all!
Ino stared at him. "You're not going to tell me that only Vegeta knows this knowledge, are you?"
Cold sweat broke out on Raditz. That was indeed what he had just been thinking...
He racked his brains and deliberated. "Probably... it should be 500 years ago. The original Saiyan planet suffered internal strife, and only after that did we come to Planet Plant."
Ino got an approximate time point from Raditz, then went to ask the North Kai for the specific planetary location.
After clarifying everything, she took out the Treasured Tool: Plow and adjusted the time travel coordinates.
