Ino stood before the hospital ward door and thought for a moment. The miserable state of Black-3500 was a reality; they had been chosen by Turles' gang, which was indeed very unlucky. But what should be done next? Count on the Grand Kai and the four King Kais for aid? That was a pipe dream. The Grand Kai was busy racing cars and making music, and the remaining four King Kais were even less reliable than Ino.
She found the large jellyfish who could tentatively be considered the hospital director.
The currency of the current universe was not unified. For instance, Earth used its own currency, "Zeni," and the so-called 500,000 prize money would be gone in the time it took to eat a meal. Konoha also used its own paper money here.
The other major civilizations all had their own monetary systems.
Currently, there was no powerful regime capable of enforcing its own currency as the universal currency.
However, some powerful cosmic financial groups had released some equivalents that possessed monetary functions.
Ino rummaged around for a while and took out two cloth bags containing more than ten metal rods that looked like immersion heaters. These metals were extremely rare in the universe and were the preferred trading goods of some large cosmic merchant groups.
She had transformed into the appearance of Recoome and Burter to go out and "commit crimes," harvesting quite a few of these metal rods. Just this small bag of metal rods could buy a luxurious spaceship on many technological planets. Now, after some deliberation, she broke off one rod and handed it to the hospital director.
"It hasn't been easy for you guys either. The purchasing power of this thing is quite good; consider it a small token of my regard. Take it and exchange it for some living supplies for the families of the victims. The remainder should be enough for the medical expenses of those injured."
There was no photo op this time. It was her private gift and had nothing to do with the Grand Kai or the North Kai.
Leaving Black-3500, Ino brought Turles' corpse to Earth's Kami's Lookout. Seeing Son Goku wearing Captain Ginyu's face, she held it in again and again, but finally laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, stop laughing, it really was my negligence..." Son Goku subconsciously scratched his head, only to find that Ginyu's body had no hair, making the action appear rather comical.
Vegeta sized up Ino from the side, feeling that her battle power was so low that he could crush her to death with a single finger. But how was that possible? When Ino had thrashed him and Nappa before, her battle power was much higher than it was now. Three months had passed; he had improved by leaps and bounds, yet the opponent had gone downhill instead?
Ino paid him no mind and took Turles' corpse out of the sealing scroll. Several gazes were instantly drawn to it.
"There's actually a surviving Saiyan?" The most surprised was Vegeta. Turles' appearance was clearly that of a typical low-class Saiyan warrior.
Ino didn't make a sound. Frieza's so-called encirclement net was about as effective as a sieve. It was said that only Vegeta and a few other Saiyans survived, but in reality? Several more Saiyans would pop up in the future, especially Broly and his father. Ino dared to kill Frieza's subordinates, but she didn't dare to wander casually into the South Galaxy, precisely for fear of encountering Broly, that true fierce man...
Son Goku's focus was on other aspects. He sized up Turles: "It really is a face exactly like mine, but... this guy looks so dark. If Chi-Chi asks, how am I supposed to explain? What a headache."
"What is this guy's name?" Vegeta asked.
"Hmm? I think his companions called him Turles. I'm not sure if that's a Saiyan name."
"He is Turles?!" Vegeta had obviously heard of this name.
Good people and bad people are in a hostile relationship, but often, bad people and bad people aren't friends either. Frieza's group and Turles' gang of guerillas couldn't piss in the same pot.
Frieza had dispatched the Ginyu Force to wipe out Turles' group, but the other side escaped, and the matter was never mentioned again. This proved the ability of Turles' group from a side angle.
The North Kai was constantly flipping through books over on his side and soon found a method to temporarily swap souls. However, with Son Goku's brain, wanting to learn this move would really take a little time.
Using the Room of Spirit and Time for such a small matter would be a true waste.
Ino needed to help stall for time.
"You guys hurry up. I'll try my best to delay, but I can't guarantee how long I can stall." From Ino's perspective, stalling for time was much harder than fighting Turles.
She returned to the village. Seeing that Chi-Chi and Gohan had already packed their luggage and were saying goodbye to several neighbors near their home.
Thinking for a while, she really had no other way. She could only deploy Konoha's ultimate weapon, the Mouth Release Ninja, Naruto Uzumaki!
When time comes, heaven and earth join forces; when luck leaves, heroes are not free. Naruto was now a "washed up" protagonist. Due to Kakashi, the position of Hokage had shifted from the Jiraiya line to the Tsunade line. Naruto no longer kept the phrase "I want to be Hokage" on his lips. After getting married, he was obviously much more steady.
"Naruto! Naruto!" Ino waved to him.
Sporting a buzz cut that made him look like a labor camp prisoner, Naruto looked left and right. Is she calling me?
"Yes, it's you, come here!"
Ino called Naruto over and went straight to the point. She wanted Naruto to use grand principles to bamboozle Gohan.
Say whatever glorious and correct words you want—forgiveness, forgiving enemies, caring for each other, and so on. Just say whatever comes to mind.
"Why do we suddenly have to say these things to that child? That child is only five or six years old, right?" Naruto wasn't as easy to fool as when he was a child.
Ino used her ultimate move. Directly in the name of the village, she wrote a B-rank mission for him on the spot: "This is a mission from the village. Just say whether you'll do it or not?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Chi-Chi was an extremely excellent mother. As long as her son could benefit, no matter how much she missed her husband, she would prioritize Gohan's side first.
Ino also arranged for Little Himawari to take Gohan for a stroll, then "accidentally" meet Uncle Naruto, and finally listen to Uncle Naruto tell stories.
"Two hours. Remember, you must delay for at least two hours." She gave a burst of instructions, then left Konoha Village and arrived at the North Kai's Planet.
She needed to discuss the matters of Earth and Planet Namek with the North Kai.
It had been a busy rush before, so it was more convenient to discuss such matters face-to-face.
"Frieza's group is rushing towards Planet Namek. I spoke with their Grand Elder and suggested they take shelter for a while, but the Grand Elder was somewhat hesitant. Fortunately, the distance between the two parties is extremely far, so the Namekians still have some time." The North Kai was also incredibly busy on his end.
"Goku's side can be delayed temporarily, but it's best to retrieve his own body."
Of those cultivating in the Underworld, apart from Chiaotzu who had self-destructed and been blown to smithereens, the rest were using their own bodies. Once the body in the Living World was repaired, the soul could drill back in, and it could be used normally.
If it wasn't one's own "original" body, there would be a huge discrepancy in compatibility, and in the end, cultivation would yield half the results with twice the effort.
