Since Son Goku, that martial arts fanatic, had something to do, he wouldn't disturb their conversation, so Ino continued the previous topic.
She spoke too vaguely, leaving North Kai completely baffled. "So... who exactly traveled to our timeline?"
"Don't know."
"Then which planet is this guy on right now?"
"Don't know either."
North Kai: "..."
Searching for a needle in a haystack—how did you expect him to find anything?
"What if we can't find him?" he asked.
Ino deliberately frightened him, pacing back and forth while feigning a very troubled expression. "Then it might be necessary to awaken Lord Beerus to completely destroy all planets possessing intelligent life in the North Galaxy."
Son Goku popped his head out from a nook, looking at them suspiciously. "Lord Beerus? Who is that?"
"My lawn hasn't been fixed yet! Go work!!" North Kai scolded Goku away, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Letting Beerus wipe out all intelligent life in his jurisdiction? This news was simply too terrifying.
North Kai ignored Son Goku and began searching his own jurisdiction for this guy suspected of traveling from the future. Even Ino didn't stay idle.
For more than half a month continuously, she searched among the major planets.
Not finding him was a capability issue; not searching? That was an attitude issue.
She went to Earth twice. It had to be said that at this time, Cell should still be hiding in his egg. As long as he didn't actively jump out, there was indeed nowhere to find him.
Without a single trace of aura, how could one search? Was she really going to completely destroy the Earth?
Ino searched very seriously, not slacking off in the slightest. She searched not only Earth but other planets as well, yet found nothing.
...
Time flew by quickly. Nine months later, the future warrior Trunks made his dazzling entrance.
In the timeline without Ino, he had deviated by about three hours. Now, the deviation was even more ridiculous.
Earth was completely peaceful. There was no Frieza, no King Cold; not even a shadow of them was seen.
When he found Mount Paozu, he discovered Son Goku with his pant legs rolled up, working hard at farming under Chi-Chi's supervision—the so-called setting a good example for Gohan.
He had planted a field full of radishes. By the looks of it, the harvest this year was quite good...
Future Trunks had a look of astonishment on his face, suspecting he had come to the wrong place, or perhaps due to technical reasons with the time machine, some sort of malfunction he was unaware of had occurred.
He didn't dare go to Vegeta and Bulma's side, so he could only lodge at Mount Paozu as an outlander.
Chi-Chi was a bit suspicious of his identity. A martial artist coming all this way to visit Son Goku—could you believe it? Was her husband that famous?
But after Future Trunks took out gold and silver to pay the bill, she immediately accepted this young man.
He waited for a full half-month before the anticipated strong enemy arrived.
The appearance of Cooler and his gang left Future Trunks completely confused. Who was this guy? He looked like Frieza, but seemed a bit older? Had the timeline deviation become boundless?
Even with Trunks and Son Goku, two Super Saiyans joining forces, they were still not Cooler's match. No matter how angry Vegeta got, or how wise Piccolo was, it was useless. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Cooler suddenly went motionless as if he had disconnected. Trunks seized the opportunity to slay Cooler.
The remaining space pirates were no match for Krillin and Tien Shinhan at all and were soon completely annihilated.
With this, the crisis caused by the Frieza family had probably, possibly, perhaps ended.
Trunks handed the special medicine for treating heart disease to Son Goku. After privately recounting his own background and promising to return in three years to help fight the Androids together, he dizzily boarded the time machine and returned to the future.
Ino hid in the shadows, silently watching all of this.
Cooler's immobility just now was naturally due to her Time Freeze ability. Frieza's brother was truly strong; even with Ino's current abilities, she only paused him briefly for 0.1 seconds. Fortunately, Trunks's experience was rich enough, and his strikes were ruthless enough. Compared to Son Goku, who was hesitant and seemed to want to spare the opponent's life for future sparring, Trunks was decisive. Without a second word, he chopped Cooler to pieces.
Ino asked Whis through the GodPad: "You saw what happened here, right? Do you need me to deal with that young man?"
Whis was currently eating curry rice, his face red from the spice. While gulping down water and thinking, he pondered for a full ten minutes before speaking: "Forget it. It's not a big problem anyway, just let it be."
Ino said, "It's the other party's first offense. I'll go over and give him a warning."
"Alright, handle it however you like."
Probably even a big shot like Whis didn't expect that Trunks would repeatedly shuttle through the timeline, wearing it out completely. coupled with Zamasu's various outrageous maneuvers in the later stages, they would forcefully create a second Grand Zeno.
...
Earth, seventeen years later.
Because the Androids had ravaged the globe, the planet's surface was full of ruins and debris. Traces of explosions were everywhere. Some places had become forbidden zones for life due to the use of nuclear bombs.
Humanity paid a huge price but still failed to stop the attacks of the two evil Androids. Earth's government was completely paralyzed, and the prosperity of the past could no longer be seen on the planet's surface. The surviving humans numbered only a few tens of thousands. They hid underground, with survival supplies scarce to the extreme, never knowing which would come first: an accident or tomorrow.
Trunks stepped out of the time machine, reached out to press a switch, and stored the time machine into a universal capsule developed by his mother, Bulma.
"Yo, you're a bit slow. Is it because that machine of yours requires a lot of energy to start?" Ino sat on a large rock, waving at him.
Future Trunks was quite alert. He immediately drew the long sword from his back, staring dead at Ino. "Who are you?"
"A nobody."
"Are you an Android?"
Ino spread her hands. "What kind of look is that? Obviously not."
Future Trunks said word for word, "I don't believe you."
Ino pointed at him. "Our cooperation just now, or rather, our cooperation seventeen years ago, was actually quite good. I froze Cooler's time, and you chopped him to death. In that regard, you are much more decisive than Son Goku. Young man, are you interested in becoming my subordinate?"
Future Trunks looked at her. "I don't like people joking with me."
Ino asked bluntly, "Catastrophe is imminent for you, do you know that?"
Future Trunks looked at her in silence. She continued, "There are strict regulations among the gods. You can only travel backward from the current time point; you absolutely, absolutely cannot travel forward. This is for fear of causing a catastrophic chain reaction. Of course, if you travel secretly without being discovered and don't make major changes, it's fine. But you... your travel attracted too many eyes, and the changes you caused were simply too great—great enough to destroy a timeline. Do you understand what I mean?"
