Two Metamorans stood before them, looking slightly nervous. After adjusting for a moment, they finally spoke.
"The fusers need to adjust their ki to be identical to one another. Afterward, one arm goes left and the other goes right, held level—mind the angle of the arms... At this moment, swing your arms in the opposite direction while moving your feet three steps at the same frequency... Retract your palms to the side of your body and clench them into fists—mind the angle of the inside foot... At the final moment, the two people's fingers must point directly at each other. The inside leg assumes a lunge, and remember, the outside leg must remain straight."
After watching the Metamorans' Fusion Technique, Ino remained expressionless, while the Four Heavenly Kings fell silent.
The fusion effect was top-notch, but the pose was truly a bit shameful.
Pikkon laughed dryly twice and asked in a negotiating tone, "My clansmen have always been few, and they don't like me either. As for this practice, I think... just count me out, right?"
Nail also smiled awkwardly. "I also can't find a combat-type Namekian. It's better for me to rely on meditation to improve my battle power."
Bardock furrowed his brows tightly, glancing at the others' expressions out of the corner of his eye, and said huffily, "You don't expect me to fuse with this grandson-generation warrior, do you? That's too embarrassing. I'd rather die directly on the battlefield..."
Since the three team members were uninterested in the Fusion Technique, the arduous task could only be handed over to the Captain, Future Trunks, and the Vice-Captain, Son Gohan.
Both were pragmatists; as long as they could become stronger and eliminate the enemy, that was enough.
Whatever Saiyan pride or Saiyan spirit—things that Bardock, Son Goku, and Vegeta valued highly—were worthless in their eyes.
The Metamorans' Fusion Technique was simply too valuable for the two of them. Ino's earrings were immensely valuable no matter how one looked at them; she wouldn't lend them out easily, let alone give them away. Now that there was a 'craft' that could provide a similar effect and wasn't hard to learn, encountering such a windfall was enough to make them wake up laughing from their dreams.
If they had possessed this 'craft' in the future, they would have killed the Androids long ago.
So what if the pose was ugly? They had experienced a hellish apocalypse; they didn't care about face at all.
The two practiced with great concentration. Half a day later, they had proficiently mastered the Metamorans' Fusion Technique. They combined into one, transforming into a super warrior different from Trunkhan: Gohanks!
In the Time Nexus, within the Time Nest.
The current Supreme Kai of Time, a small lolita with short maroon hair, stood in deep thought before a golden hourglass. A somewhat chubby pet, the Tokitoki bird, tilted its head to look at her from time to time.
"A Trunks has escaped the Time Nest's monitoring range," the little lolita said crisply.
The fat bird was greatly surprised. "Lord Supreme Kai, then should we...?"
"It doesn't matter. We can still go look for the Trunks of Timeline 221."
Amidst the ruins at the end of time.
A blue-haired big lolita also received a report from her subordinates: a Saiyan with great potential had escaped surveillance.
Black-clothed Son Gohan and Black-clothed Bardock knelt on one knee before her.
"Where was the oversight? To think you would commit such a foolish error."
Black-clothed Son Gohan bowed his head. "Apologies, my Lady. We were blocked outside the time point by something that seemed to be Angel power, arriving a step too late."
The blue-haired big lolita stroked the bird egg in her arms. This was an evil, ominous thing named Tokitoki. Unfortunately, this thing gestated far too slowly. If she had the authority of Time in her hands, it would be fine, but now she was lacking too much...
"Angel power? Hmph, that old fellow... wanting to bring time under his jurisdiction as well."
"My Lady, then our next step is to...?"
"No rush. Time is on our side."
Ino stroked Tonton the pig, smiling without speaking.
With matters in the universe arranged, she returned home to rest.
Under her supervision, her two daughters began a new round of training.
She had Little Himawari use Shinra Tensei to swat mosquitoes—requiring precise control and moderate force.
The little girl ended up covered in mosquito bites and was now looking at her dad with an expression like she was viewing a class enemy.
On the other side, Kale was thrown into a cave by her. Exercises with things like mice and cats had already been fruitful, so this time Ino found a bear. Carrying the bear with one hand, she threw it into the cave with a whoosh.
Kale's screams soon rang out from the cave. Ino waited for two minutes before going in to watch.
Good heavens. Upon entering the cave, she saw the brown bear hugging a stalactite inside, eyes wide and round, trembling violently—clearly frightened out of its wits.
Little Kale was in an even worse state. She was hiding in a shallow hole barely a meter high, body curled up, seemingly terrified as well.
Ino scratched her head. She looked at the bear, then looked at her cheap daughter. What was the situation here?
Ending the day's training, Little Himawari, covered in mosquito bites, curled her lips at Ino: "Stinky Dad, big liar, this training isn't fun at all!"
Little Kale also offered rare support to her big sister: "Yeah, yeah, it was so scary."
Clearly, you were the one who broke the bear! That poor bear's gall bladder was practically scared into splitting...
Seeing both daughters pouting, Ino thought for a moment and made a promise. "How about this? I'll take you out to play in a while!"
Little Himawari immediately perked up, raising a finger. "People who lie have to swallow a thousand needles!"
Little Kale also looked at her dad with an expectant expression.
"No problem!" Ino was particularly good at assigning work to others. She indeed had nothing to do right now, so taking two children out for a spin was absolutely no pressure.
However, where to play was a problem. The Blue Planet here was still in a feudal era; there really weren't any places to visit. The few entertainment venues like those on Turtle Island had already been visited.
Go to the Moon? The ruins of the Otsutsuki clan didn't seem to have anything fun either.
Just as she was pondering, several ninjas appeared ahead.
"Lady Hokage."
Iruka, Ebisu, and the rarely seen—or rather, frequently ignored by her—Aburame Shino were waiting not far away.
Iruka had been married to the teacher Tsubaki for several years. Nowadays, he could be considered successful in his career and happy in his family life. He still served at the Ninja School, though he had long since become the principal.
Shino was also teaching at the Ninja School now.
For them to come find the Hokage at this time, it was definitely about school matters.
The three bowed in unison.
Ino nodded slightly, signaling them to speak.
Iruka said, "Lady Hokage, we have gathered teaching materials from the Five Great Shinobi Villages and are preparing to implement a brand-new education model."
Ino listened carefully. This was also her order. The original five subject categories of the ninja villages—"Theory," "Training," "Insight," "Practice," and "History"—were truly too bizarre. The history course was passably acceptable, but the rest of the courses... hehe.
Take any random course, and it would involve a heap of knowledge points. The teachers' methods were also problematic, swallowing dates whole. Regardless of whether you understood or if you had the prerequisite knowledge, they defaulted to assuming you knew it all. As long as I finish the lecture, I'm done. Learn it or not. Facing a group of children with poor self-control, they insisted on teaching with the vibe of a university.
