Chapter 274 Arrival
"Chi-Chi?"
Naruto's expression was strange as he looked at the young girl in front of him.
Could this be the legendary case of childhood sweethearts losing to a newcomer?
It was truly terrifying.
Naruto shrugged, glancing at Son Goku, then at Chi-Chi.
He couldn't, and didn't want to, get involved in this; it was better to let nature take its course.
"Son Goku looks simple, but he's quite popular."
Hinata smiled, pulling Chi-Chi in.
Son Goku scratched his head, feeling a bit confused.
What was going on?
He looked at Chi-Chi, then at the others, and finally met his grandfather's strange gaze; Son Goku was bewildered.
He didn't understand!
He didn't get it.
He couldn't make sense of it at all.
"Hmm?"
Naruto suddenly realized that Son Gohan might not appear now; he was a popular character, had he just been erased by him?
Logically, Son Goku should have gotten married after the World Martial Arts Tournament.
But now, he clearly hadn't.
So, would there still be a Son Gohan in the future?
Naruto was speechless.
He hadn't expected the butterfly effect to be so exaggerated.
"Life, ah, is full of unexpected twists."
Naruto only felt a bit regretful, but he didn't think anything was wrong.
Anyway, there were many parallel worlds in this Dragon Ball universe, so it wasn't impossible for an oddity to appear.
Shrugging, Naruto didn't care in the slightest.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Naruto sharply looked up at the sky.
Vaguely, he sensed a fairly powerful ki rapidly approaching Earth.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Hmm, the enemy is here, they'll arrive in a few days."
"Ah?"
Son Goku was shocked.
He knew that his master was sensing the enemy's ki, but he hadn't felt anything at all.
So powerful.
Son Goku looked on with admiration, and a desire to test his strength.
He wanted to fight his master… "Almost there."
Raditz ignored his surroundings, his eyes open, and began to communicate with Vegeta: "Prince Vegeta, I'll be on Earth in a few days."
"Very good, first see how that Kakarot boy has done. Although I'm short on people, I will never take in a useless person who can't even conquer an ordinary planet."
"Alright."
Raditz gave a cold laugh: "Don't worry, Vegeta, since I'm making the trip, even if my dear brother hasn't cleared out all the natives on the planet, I will take action."
"Don't worry, the advantage is with me."
"Very good, Raditz, I have high hopes for you."
Vegeta chuckled, not really caring inside.
In his eyes, Raditz was also a useless person.
Useless people should be put to use, shouldn't they?
Raditz was quite good for running errands, and that was about his only use.
"Prince Vegeta, which planet are we going to next?"
"Let's rest for a bit, then go back for supplies, and then come out to work again."
Vegeta spat fiercely, annoyed inwardly.
If he had a chance, he would definitely kill Frieza.
"Hmph, let's go."
..."Earth, here I come."
"Kakarot, here I come."
Raditz laughed menacingly, his spaceship trailing a long plume of fire as it rushed towards Earth.
"It's almost here."
King Kai looked at Raditz in front of him, smiling faintly, not worried at all.
Son Goku's strength under his tutelage was terrifyingly powerful.
A mere Raditz, a mere everyone, would be easily dealt with.
As for Uzumaki Naruto, he didn't know if this Naruto would personally take action.
He'd just have to wait and see.
Boom!
A few days later,
The spaceship broke through the atmosphere and violently crashed into an uninhabited area.
Creak.
Raditz pushed the door open, activated his scouter, and frowned: 'Why are there so many weaklings? No, most people don't even have much power level.'
"Pitiable, all ones and twos."
"Hmm, there are a few with decent power levels."
"There's one here with a power level of one hundred. Let's go check him out, he should be Kakarot, uniquely strong among them."
"However, compared to me, he's far inferior. As expected of a low-class warrior, he's just trash."
Raditz secretly scoffed, took to the air, and headed straight for the person with a power level of one hundred.
"Hiss, what a powerful ki, who is it?"
Piccolo was startled.
Ever since Son Goku spared him last time, he had learned from his mistakes and continuously intensified his training.
His power level was even more terrifying now.
They didn't know their exact numerical values, but they could roughly sense them.
And now,
In Piccolo's perception, the person who appeared before him made no attempt to conceal his ki.
Strong!
After a silent calculation, Piccolo's expression turned grim as he realized that this person's current ki was twice his own.
Damn it.
Could it be Son Goku?
Somewhat similar.
No!
Piccolo suddenly realized that this ki was even more evil than his own.
He prided himself on being Old Piccolo's son, inherently a demon, but he had never actually killed anyone.
He had only ever trained.
However, the ki emanating from the person in front of him was powerful and carried a dense murderous aura.
"Hiss, how many people must one kill to form such an aura?"
Piccolo gasped, and before he could react, a gust of wind roared.
The wind whipped, making Piccolo's cape flap wildly.
"It's not Kakarot."
Looking at Piccolo, Raditz narrowed his eyes: 'Somewhat familiar, like a Namekian.'
"Who are you?"
Raditz haughtily glanced at Piccolo, too lazy to bother with this trash.
His priority now was to find Kakarot.
"This guy couldn't have been killed, could he?"
Raditz frowned.
There was a useless person with a power level of one hundred right in front of him.
However, while he was indeed useless in front of him, he could very well be a formidable opponent in front of Kakarot.
One wrong move and he could be eliminated.
Things didn't look good now.
"Am I going to make this trip for nothing?"
"Wait, there's a group of people, all with power levels of ten, and some in the teens, gathered together. Could Kakarot be among them?"
Raditz paused, then shot into the sky, leaving a bewildered Piccolo behind.
"That direction? Mount Paozu?"
Piccolo's expression was strange.
This guy was suicidal, going straight for the strongest one first.
To be honest, Piccolo was still very wary of Uzumaki Naruto.
Because he simply couldn't fathom this guy's strength.
"Time for a show."
Piccolo quietly followed behind.
Raditz was speechless, he had seen people courting death, but never like this.
Oh well.
Once he sorted out Kakarot's business, he would deal with this Namekian as well.
Anyway, he was going to clean out the natives of this world again, so saving some effort was good.
And so,
Just like that, Raditz and Piccolo, one after the other, headed straight for Mount Paozu… "They're here, and they're really fast, not holding back at all!"
"Son Goku, are you going to make a move?"
Naruto looked at Son Goku.
Son Goku nodded excitedly: 'I'll make a move.'
"But, Master, aren't you going to make a move? We still haven't seen you fight."
Naruto was surprised.
Nine-Tailed and Hinata and the others also looked at Naruto.
Yes.
So many years had passed.
They truly had no idea how strong Naruto had become…
