Ino divided her attention in two, handling official duties on one side while browsing information on the GodPad on the other.
Just as she was watching, Whis suddenly appeared in the center of the screen.
"Hello, hello? Can you see me? Hello? You just need to press the button at the bottom of your screen to speak, oh ho ho."
Ino looked speechless: "...Although our village is backward, we aren't primitive people. I still know how to use such a simple thing."
"Oh ho ho ho, apologies, apologies." Whis covered his mouth and chuckled lightly.
"Is something up?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal," Whis said in a tone of casual chit-chat. "1500 Takas ago, I seemed to sense an abnormal fluctuation in the flow of time over in the North Galaxy."
Ino secretly calculated the time. 1500 Takas? 100 Takas equaled 48 minutes, so these 1500 Takas would be equivalent to 12 hours.
She immediately shifted the blame: "This has nothing to do with me. I've stayed at home for the past two days and haven't gone anywhere."
Whis smiled awkwardly: "...I didn't say it was you."
Ino put on a face of righteousness: "Oh, then I'm relieved. Please continue. Who is misusing Time Power? This guy is too vicious; are they trying to frame me?"
"I don't know, oh."
"You don't know?"
Whis smiled and said: "I also don't know who disturbed the timeline. After all, I am merely Lord Destroyer's servant. How could a mere servant like me understand something as high-end as Time Power? This matter still requires you to go and investigate. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find anything; it's just a small matter."
Ino was no rookie. If this matter was serious enough for Whis to make a personal appearance, despite his nonchalant demeanor, it was needless to say—it was definitely a major event!
She tentatively asked: "Is it someone who traveled to our timeline here?"
Whis corrected: "It is an intelligent lifeform who came from an uncertain future to our current timeline."
There was a lot of information in this sentence. Who had traveled through time? Ino's first reaction was Future Trunks.
Future Trunks saving Son Goku's life had produced extremely far-reaching effects, arguably relating to the survival of the entire Seventh Universe.
If there were no Son Goku, that brat Grand Zeno might have just waved his hand, keeping the four advanced universes and erasing the eight backward ones, and that would be the end of it! A tournament? Fight my foot!
Future Trunks was a figure entangled with many timelines. If one also counted the Supreme Kai of Time's side, exactly how many Trunks were there? It was already impossible to count!
Besides Future Trunks, there was another possibility: the one who traveled through time was Cell.
In her past life, someone had calculated that Son Goku defeated Frieza and ended the Planet Namek Saga in August, and Cell traveled over around October of that same year.
Now, because of Ino, the original flow had long been messed up. Frieza exited the stage early, but Cell would not be affected. Crossing over now would be logical and reasonable.
She said to Whis: "Alright, I'll go ask North Kai."
She skipped work directly, handing all the tasks over to Shikamaru. With a single step, she arrived at North Kai's Planet.
North Kai did not take an afternoon nap today. His short, pudgy body was squatting down laying bricks for a wall, while the monkey Bubbles was mixing cement on the side.
North Kai's house had collapsed by half. Ino looked at it from every angle—why did it look so much like it had been hit by a shockwave?
Before she had time to speak, she heard a loud shout from not far away.
"Ka—me—ha—me—ha!"
The sound of the Kamehameha was extremely loud. she hurriedly turned her head, only to see Son Goku standing less than ten meters away from her, firing a Kamehameha at the empty air.
Son Goku's control had improved significantly. The azure energy wave circled North Kai's Planet under his manipulation. Ino, having sharp eyes and deft hands, directly jumped to the side, and the energy wave struck straight into Son Goku's own chest.
Holy crap! Was this some kind of masochistic training method?
Ino looked at North Kai with a peculiar expression. The short, pudgy North Kai gestured for her to look at the house he had lived in for many years, sighing heavily.
Ino indicated she understood. This must have been Son Goku's doing.
Son Goku took one of his own shockwaves with his body. Smoking all over, he lay in a strictly spread-eagle shape for a while before standing up. He looked around east and west, finally seeing Ino.
"Ino? Come and fight me!"
Ino waved her hand directly to refuse: "Can't beat you, I forfeit."
Son Goku held up one finger: "Just one fight, how about it, just one?"
Ino hurriedly made excuses: "I came over because I have business. King Kai, I've received a piece of news..."
Hearing there was serious business, Son Goku immediately sat obediently to the side and waited.
Ino looked solemn, and North Kai became serious along with her.
"I received news from a hidden channel..."
Son Goku muttered in a low voice: "Is the serious business done yet?"
Ino clenched her fist, then relaxed it: "I haven't even said it yet!"
"Oh, oh, then you continue."
"...Where was I? Right, I heard there is a guy, possibly from..."
Son Goku interrupted again: "Is it an alien? A guy even worse than Frieza?"
Three black lines appeared on Ino's forehead. Ignoring this martial arts fanatic, she continued recounting her business: "That guy used Time Power, or a similar ability, to enter the North..."
Son Goku's eyes widened: "What is Time Power?"
Ino and North Kai roared together: "Shut up!"
Son Goku hurriedly covered his mouth, indicating he wouldn't speak. But this guy's memory was on par with a fish; once Ino mentioned a certain intelligent lifeform from the future entering the North Galaxy range, he started rubbing his fists and wiping his palms again.
With his interference, a very simple matter took ten minutes to tell and still wasn't finished.
"Come on, come on! I'll fight you today!" Ino could bear it no longer and threw her Hokage robe to the monkey Bubbles on the side.
"Good! Come on!" Son Goku clenched his fists, a childlike, innocent smile revealing itself on his face.
This guy truly delighted in battle.
The two assumed their stances, observing each other for a few seconds before Ino took the initiative to attack.
Using her body as an axis, she raised her right leg, executing a high section roundhouse kick, fiercely kicking towards Son Goku's cheek.
"So fast!" Son Goku raised his arm to block.
Ino's right foot landed, her body leaning forward. A straight punch came fast and ruthless. Son Goku attempted to grab her fist but was a step too slow, forced to lean his body back to dodge.
Ino changed her fist to a palm, chopping down with a vertical palm.
Son Goku exerted force from his waist and abdomen, kicking towards her chin. She tilted her head slightly, her right hand clenching into a fist once more. Opening her arm, she struck fiercely at Son Goku's neck.
Son Goku saw her punching path clearly. Spreading his left palm open, he attempted to catch her fist, but the immense force still pushed him back more than two meters, plowing two shallow trenches into the grass of North Kai's Planet.
"Wow, so strong!" Son Goku shook his hand repeatedly.
Ino tilted her head and looked at him: "Is this all the skill you have? If that's all, you simply aren't my opponent."
Son Goku's eyes were bright. With a huge leap, he reopened the distance: "Truly amazing. No wonder you could defeat Vegeta. It seems I must use my full power. Let me show you the ultimate technique I've just recently successfully cultivated—Super Saiyan!"
