The trace remaining inside the Hero's Sword was too ethereal and too profound. For something so intangible, Ino really had no way to understand the mysteries hidden within.
It might be some "martial arts manual" left by a big shot, or it might just be the energy residue from slashing the Phantom Majin. Either way, regardless of what it was, she couldn't understand it...
If this were a standalone Naruto world, there really wouldn't be a good solution other than thinking hard. But since this world has Dragon Balls, it was easy to handle. When in doubt, ask the Dragon Balls!
One can even ask about the Super Saiyan God, let alone this.
Next time she gathers the seven Dragon Balls and summons Shenron, she can ask how to use the energy in this sword, or what this thing is. She felt it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Pity, what a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have laid my cards on the table during those days of fishing." She shook her head for a while, her expression quite annoyed.
Did she have regrets? Of course she did. A "golden thigh"—a powerful patron—had passed right before her eyes, and she failed to latch onto them. That was a loss.
But thinking about it carefully, the situation was normal. Her level was too low right now; encountering him was already good enough. She wanted to latch onto a big shot?
As a village chief, she could look for a county magistrate to find a patron, or perhaps a mayor would work too. But looking for a Nine-Bag Elder? That would be absolutely insane.
...
Ino asked indirectly and found that the Konatsians only had their own calendar; they didn't know the current Universal Calendar.
She also didn't know what point in time it was for Bardock and Planet Vegeta. Planet Konats was in the South Galaxy, while Planet Vegeta was far away in the North Galaxy; the distance between the two was too great.
She counted as a stowaway here, so she couldn't go ask King Kai or the Grand Kai. The first operation to find the "naturalization" team member Bardock was undoubtedly a failure.
Waiting for the Treasured Tool: Plow's cooldown to end, she bid farewell to the Tapion brothers and returned to her own time point.
The damage the Phantom Majin caused to her spiritual world required rest and recuperation. She didn't travel through time again but returned directly to Konoha Village.
She needed the company of some family members right now.
"You look so exhausted. You've been frowning the whole time, looking so weighed down by worry. It really... makes my heart ache."
Hinata let down Ino's hair, standing behind her. Applying slight force with her ten fingers, she massaged Ino's forehead.
"Is that so? I really didn't notice. It's still best to be at home." Ino closed her eyes, lying in Hinata's bosom. Her expression was completely relaxed as she casually recounted her experiences. Hinata just listened gently, occasionally chiming in.
"Are you going out again recently?"
"I'll rest for a while. There's nothing major going on lately, and it's time to accompany my dear wife."
"Don't move around, sit still. The child is still here."
The two flirted for a while.
Little Himawari rode Tonton to find Dad to play, only to discover that the commotion in the room wasn't quite right. The two fellows peeked from the edge of the door, then, having the good sense to read the room, they retreated together.
"Will Mom and Dad give me another little sister?" Little Himawari asked.
Tonton looked left and right. Are you asking me?
"Puu puu!"
I don't know!
Little Himawari climbed onto the pig. "Let's go. Those two will definitely be lovey-dovey for a while. At a time like this, I'm just a superfluous child. Let's go buy yokan for Grandma Tsunade!"
Tonton sighed softly. These guys, every single one of them needed her care. It was really too hard for her.
Thinking back to the past, she used to be held by Shizune every day, never needing to walk herself. Now? Directly reduced to a mount and transport tool!
The beautiful days are gone, never to return!
The only small mercy in this misfortune was that Little Himawari's status was indeed extraordinary. At least the way those fatties from the Akimichi clan looked at Tonton wasn't as strange as before.
The little girl rode the pig, strolling through the streets of Konoha. Suddenly, she looked back in the direction of her home, only to see a practically imperceptible column of light shooting straight into the sky. Faintly, a golden light shone within it. This light mixed with the sunlight, so the villagers didn't see it; only the little girl, with her good eyes, saw it.
"Sigh, those two guys definitely went out to play and actually didn't take me. Hmph! I won't bring them dinner. Tonton, let's buy the yokan first, then go find Sister Shizune to play, okay?"
"Puu puu!" Tonton moved her four hooves swiftly, carrying Little Himawari to buy things.
Ino used energy to form a shield wrapping around the two of them, then flew Hinata straight up to the moon in one breath.
Vegeta had been beaten away by her, but that guy was full of hostility. Right up until the end of the Planet Namek saga, he wasn't exactly a good person.
Right now, that guy was probably holding in some scheme to beat her up. The technological strength of the Frieza Force was terrifying just thinking about it; they likely had some device tracking her. If she were at home, it would be manageable, but if she weren't, once Vegeta descended on Konoha Village, it would be a massive tragedy.
To prevent her home from being raided, Ino felt the ninja world must establish a brand-new defense mechanism.
It was definitely too late to launch satellites now; the Daimyo over there was still riding an ox cart! You talk about launching satellites?
She then thought of the giant Tenseigan on the moon.
Its owner was dead, making this Tenseigan an ownerless item. If she used it to protect the ninja world, presumably those Otsutsuki clansmen who contributed their Byakugan wouldn't say anything.
"This is the moon? Then that blue sphere down below is our home?" No matter how quiet her personality was, being suddenly hugged by Ino and flown to the moon in one breath still left Hinata feeling incredibly agitated.
Landing on the moon—it was inconceivable just thinking about it.
Ino didn't let go, hugging her as they continued to fly close to the ground.
The application of energy on the Earth side was extremely simple and wild, but being wild had its benefits. In terms of flight speed, increasing the energy output could boost the speed several times over.
Thirty minutes later, Hinata felt completely stunned because she saw massive artificial structures on the dark side of the moon. Not just one or two buildings, but whole swathes, resembling a massive ancient city.
"Ah, could it be that there are people here?" Hinata exclaimed in surprise.
She hurriedly looked down, discovering she hadn't even changed into formal clothes; she had come out wearing cotton socks and slippers!
This was truly too rude. Coming from a prestigious clan, she couldn't help but gently punch Ino.
"It's fine, there's nobody here at all. Just some abandoned buildings." Ino's expression was ordinary, but there was actually a trace of excitement in her tone. Why is there nobody? Because I killed them!
"How can there be nobody?" Hinata, being an honest child, looked around, then suddenly looked at Ino suspiciously. "Why do I feel that you are particularly excited?"
Ino looked innocent. "Am I? I'm not, right?"
"Then why are you undoing my clothes?"
"Oh, oh, subconscious action, I'm used to it."
They were an old married couple, and were long used to doing these things. Yet Hinata still detected a hint of something unusual. After arriving on the moon, Ino's expression, tone, and movements all appeared particularly excited. This excitement came out of nowhere, as if she had suddenly developed a keen interest in Hinata's body. Why was it like this?
