Did these two hit it off during this period?
Ino had no intention of breaking them up and spoke conservatively, "The Saiyan race is just like that, acting all arrogant every day. Someone like Son Goku is actually the exception."
Ino didn't voice her inner thoughts: Go look at Broly, look at a certain female Saiyan who wishes to remain anonymous, look at Cumber, and then look back at Vegeta, and you'll realize that Vegeta is truly a gentle Saiyan!
Vegeta continued to stand on the mountain peak, battling with himself. Ino and the others had no intention of going over to say hello, and the other party certainly had no thought of coming over to greet them; he didn't even give them a sidelong glance. Their maglev car turned directly onto the highway, leaving Vegeta on the mountain peak far behind.
The journey to Mount Paozu was quite smooth.
"Hello, Big Brother Gohan!"
"Hello, Little Sister Himawari. Hello, Lady Yamanaka. Hello, Mr. Iruka." Gohan never knew how to properly address Ino. Call her Mister? Miss? Mrs.? None seemed appropriate, so he simply addressed her as 'Lady'.
Ino nodded and introduced Kale to him, "This is my second daughter, Kale."
The main timeline's Gohan was eight years old, two years older than Himawari and Kale. He bowed politely, though he felt this little black-haired sister was a bit strange. He couldn't articulate exactly what was strange about her.
Ino looked around and found only Gohan reading at home alone, "Where are Goku and Chi-Chi?"
"They went out. They said they'd be back in a while."
After waiting for an hour, the two finally returned home.
Future Trunks had agreed on a three-year period with the Earth warriors. Now, more than a year of that three-year period had passed. In such a long time, Son Goku couldn't be allowed to train constantly. Chi-Chi's limit of endurance was half a year; giving him a year to train was already an act of mercy. Once the year ended, he was dragged back home by Chi-Chi to work!
The reason was that he had to earn money to support the family and, in passing, set a healthy and positive example for Gohan.
The couple had previously opened up a piece of wasteland and planted some crops, and the harvest was decent. The Mount Paozu area was typical poor mountains and treacherous waters; there was plenty of wasteland. This time, the two had gone out to take a loan to buy a tractor...
Son Goku was listless, having no motivation at all. Hearing that they also had to go to the school to handle the procedures for visiting students, even his crab-like hairstyle seemed a bit wilted.
When he saw Kale, his expression froze. He might be truly confused most of the time, but his experience was indeed greater than that of the eight-year-old Gohan.
He pointed curiously at the little girl and asked, "Ino, is this child of yours a Saiyan?"
"A Saiyan?!" Bulma popped her head out from the other side. "Didn't you say the Saiyan home planet was destroyed by Frieza? Just how many Saiyans escaped back then?"
As a scientist, her thinking was sharp, and she quickly detected the problem. "The age doesn't match up, right? You wouldn't say Little Kale's real age is the same as Goku's?"
The words of these strange uncles and aunties frightened Kale. The training during this period was still effective; she didn't hide, but just tightly grasped Ino's sleeve.
"Goku, you're too rude! How can you ask someone so rashly!" Chi-Chi was behind him; she picked up an iron pan and, with a clang, delivered a critical hit to the back of Son Goku's head!
"Kale is my daughter; it has nothing to do with being a Saiyan or not." Ino smoothly and vaguely glossed over the issue of Kale's background. Initially, she indeed hadn't known, but now, if she still couldn't see the abilities in this cheap daughter of hers, she would be too obtuse.
Ino hoped to use love and family to resolve the violence innate to Kale.
Son Goku clutched the large bump on the back of his head, looking aggrieved, "I didn't say anything wrong?"
The topic of the female Saiyan was lightly passed over.
Gohan was supposed to enroll earlier, but it was delayed due to Vegeta's invasion. It dragged on and on. Now that Bulma was helping Konoha contact textbook and teaching method matters, they could conveniently handle the visiting student procedures for Gohan.
Friends shouldn't have financial dealings. For buying the tractor, they wouldn't borrow money from friends. However, leveraging Bulma's connections to slightly use the back door... Chi-Chi felt that was no problem. After all, Gohan's studying ability was truly strong; he definitely wasn't a child who would just make up the numbers. She was very confident in this point.
"Goku, you must go too! You have to leave a good impression on the teacher!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go, I'll go!"
Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gohan, the family of three, were in suits and ties, looking like successful people.
Chi-Chi looked at Ino and the others' attire, hesitating to speak, but finally said, "You'd better change your clothes too, right?"
Ino was in her usual clothes, just without the Hokage robe. However, Iruka, Ebisu, and Shino were all wearing Chunin vests. This ninja attire appeared a bit strange in contrast to Chi-Chi's family.
"That's simple."
It was indeed simple. The three ninjas formed hand seals and used the Transformation Technique to change the clothes on their bodies, looking similar to Son Goku's suit.
Ino didn't need to form seals at all. With a shake of her shoulders, she turned into... Vegeta!
"Pfft!" Bulma sprayed out a mouthful of cola.
Son Goku's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists tight, looking like he wanted to fight for five hundred rounds.
"Even the feeling of ki is exactly the same? Let's spar!"
Chi-Chi picked up the iron pan from the side and knocked down this martial arts fanatic again.
"Idiot! That's Ino transformed!"
"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry."
Ino then turned into Bulma. Her Transformation Technique had been buffed by a massive amount of Scapegoat Points and had now reached Lv5. Even without absorbing blood, she could become remarkably lifelike.
"It's so alike!" Bulma circled Ino twice. "That's amazing, I can't tell the difference at all! How did you do it? Is there any scientific principle?"
Ino thought for a moment and took out a scroll the size of a finger. "Actually, it's a way of using and storing energy. I'll give it to you. This is a scientific ninjutsu scroll invented on our side. It doesn't need..."
Before her voice fell, Bulma tore open the scientific ninjutsu scroll and released the ninjutsu stored within.
This scientific ninjutsu scroll contained a Clone Jutsu. In the blink of an eye, two women exactly like Bulma appeared on the scene.
Bulma saw massive business opportunities. "Wow, this is amazing. Can ordinary people use this too? Does it require any technique for using ki?"
"Yes, since the chakra is sealed inside the scroll, there are no requirements for the user. For example, we now have this kind of weapon over there..."
Ino pulled out a ninja tool that looked coolly like a Gatling gun. The group went outside. She pulled the trigger. Four gun barrels were filled with ninjutsu scrolls. As the barrels rotated, a massive amount of ninjutsu poured out towards a nearby mountain peak in the form of an energy storm!
