Chapter 243 Dog Lovers
"How is he here?"
"Who?"
Kakashi followed Naruto's gaze and couldn't help but smile, "You mean him."
"His name is Shu."
"He's a very good young man."
"I think you only like him because he's a dog."
Naruto squinted, scoffing, "Plus, he has a certain talent, so you're cherishing him."
"Haha, you saw right through me."
"I say."
Might Guy stood to the side, patted Kakashi, and said helplessly, "Does the title of 'dog lover' still need to be seen?"
Kakashi: "..."
"How is he?"
"He has good talent and is very diligent. It's said he also has two friends."
"No, Naruto, do you know him?"
"You could say I do."
"A big shot?"
Kakashi curiously sized up Shu, who was diligently training.
Nothing special.
He was pretty much like any other Ninja.
If there was anything special, it was that he was an upright walking dog, exceptionally intelligent, comparable to a human.
And his physique, nurtured in this world, was very suitable for practicing Ninjutsu.
Plus, he had a certain Ninja spirit.
But to call him a big shot?
Kakashi shook his head; he really couldn't see it.
"Not a big shot, but not a nobody either."
This trio ran through the entire history of Dragon Ball's development.
Their appearance rate was neither high nor low, and later Mai was even taken by a young sprout.
"But logically speaking, the three of them rarely separate, so why is Shu here?"
Just then, Shu also noticed Kakashi and the others. Startled, he scurried over and bowed respectfully, "Hokage-sama."
"Hmm, this is the Emperor of Ninja, the Emperor. You can call him Your Majesty."
Shu: "???"
Following Kakashi's finger, Shu stared at Naruto, dumbfounded.
Good heavens, he thought the Hokage was already strong, but he never expected there to be an even more powerful and higher-ranking person above the Hokage.
Emperor?
Emperor?
Your Majesty?
It sounded incredibly imposing.
"Shu, where are Pilaf and Mai?"
Hiss!
"You, how did you know?"
Shu stammered a bit, cold sweat dripping down.
Naruto said nothing, just stared at Shu.
Shu's face paled slightly, and he hastily explained, "No, they're in the big city not far from here. Mai went to practice weapons, saying she wants to become a weapon master."
"As for King Pilaf, he went to work."
Huh?
King?
Work?
Kakashi and Might Guy were bewildered.
You're a King, and you're going to work?
By the way, can those two words even be combined?
Naruto wasn't too surprised. This trio was silly but full of spirit.
Hiss, a group of unkillable cockroaches, always chasing the protagonist's group.
"It's fine, if you want to stay here, then stay here."
Naruto didn't mind.
"Kakashi, you've managed Konoha Village well."
After sending Shu away, Naruto wandered around Kakashi's place for a few more turns, couldn't help but praise, "Truly impressive."
Thinking about it carefully, there was actually nothing wrong.
The original Kakashi pulled the entire Konoha Village back from the brink of destruction.
When he handed it over to Naruto, it was a peak Konoha Village.
In those years, he did many things.
The transformation from a village to a town, that's not as simple as it sounds.
It showed how strong Kakashi's abilities were.
"Hmm, I just happen to need a tool. Once I get a firm footing here, I'll have Kakashi come out and help."
What's the point of staying in Konoha Village all the time? The stage needs to expand, doesn't it?
Kakashi suddenly felt a chill down his spine, always feeling like he was being watched.
He looked around, scratched his head, feeling like he might be a bit paranoid... "Orochimaru is still very powerful."
Naruto held the Dragon Ball radar in his hand, his heart pounding.
He didn't seem to have any particular wishes.
The Earth's Dragon, for him, aside from resurrection, other things seemed a bit useless.
But it wasn't a big problem; asking him to create a gravity space should be doable.
Just kidding.
This thing was a training artifact in the Dragon Ball world. He wanted to see what was so special about it.
"It's a pity Orochimaru couldn't make it."
Naruto felt a little regretful about this.
However, Orochimaru was already strong enough, already a prodigy; he couldn't expect him to know everything.
That would be too much to ask.
Fortunately, there were the seven dragon balls; he thought it shouldn't be a big problem... "I didn't expect the seven dragon balls to be discovered by aliens."
Kami sighed, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
Kami looked down at the myriad living beings below, naturally seeing Naruto's actions.
"Mr. Popo, I always feel that this person came for the seven dragon balls. He's very strong, but I don't know why he doesn't come to Korin Tower."
"I remember the legend of the seven dragon ballsis not as exaggerated as the one about Korin Tower."
Popo scratched his head, his eyes vacant: "This, I don't know either."
"Perhaps he just came for the seven dragon balls."
"I hope nothing goes wrong."
Popo was silent.
He also didn't know where the future would lead.
Kami was old, and his strength had severely declined.
Originally, according to the normal functioning of the world, he would have been enough to suppress everything.
The strongest in the world was the Master Roshi, yet Kami could crush him.
But now... with Naruto's appearance, this balance had begun to tip.
"The most crucial thing is that I still haven't figured out Uzumaki Naruto's true strength."
"He hasn't made many moves, but his techniques are very strong, his martial arts experience is rich, and most importantly, as a human, he also has various elemental attacks."
You have to know that what this world liked was grand, open movements, and overpowering others with strength.
Techniques were indeed practical, but everyone preferred the thrill of fist-to-flesh combat.
They weren't like these people with all sorts of special abilities and techniques.
It made it difficult to assess a person's strength.
"Kami, don't overthink it."
Popo shook his head: "In the face of absolute strength, everything else is illusory."
Kami paused, then laughed: "Hahaha, Mr. Popo, you are right."
That's right.
In the face of absolute strength, everything else is illusory.
You can deal with power levels of five and ten with techniques and various special abilities.
But when this gap in power widens, that is, when the difference in ki is too great, then so-called techniques and special abilities will have little effect.
"I was too attached to appearances."
"Well then, let's watch the winds rise."
Kami leaned on his staff.
At least, after so many days of observation, Uzumaki Naruto and his group were not evil people.
That alone was enough... "The seven dragon ballsare gathered!"
Time flowed, and with Naruto's efforts, the seven dragon balls were finally gathered.
On a clearing in Mount Paozu, Naruto, Hinata, the Nine-Tailed, and others gazed at the seven crystal-clear seven dragon balls before them...
