Chapter 304 Growth
"People have to grow, don't they?"
Hinata looked at Naruto seriously, enunciating each word: "I also need to grow!"
Hinata had made her own efforts along the way, but upon closer reflection, most of the benefits came from Naruto.
Because of Naruto, she achieved what she had today.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even know about the Tenseigan, let alone awaken it.
And even less about the subsequent increase in power.
From being a Perfect Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails to her current state in another world, her power growth had always been so passive.
Conversely, what could she offer Naruto besides some emotional value?
Looking down at herself, Hinata smiled slightly, then suddenly realized she was discussing a serious matter and quickly sat up straight, saying earnestly: "In the past, my father always said I was useless, not cut out to be a Ninja, and couldn't uphold a family."
"I admit, I was indeed incapable back then, but now, I feel I can help."
"Why do you think you can now?"
Naruto smiled and stroked Hinata's hair.
Hinata was doing well like this, able to grow independently and gradually keep pace with him.
"Are you sure? I don't know the dangers outside. One wrong move and you could be buried in a foreign land. Are you truly prepared?"
Finally,
Naruto looked at Hinata seriously, asking solemnly.
This was her last chance to regret; if Hinataregretted now, it was still not too late.
"I am serious."
"Alright then, you can go after a while."
Naruto took a deep breath. How should he put it? He felt a bit uneasy, yet also somewhat happy.
After all, this was also a step in her self-growth.
To grow better, working in isolation was undoubtedly not an option; she needed to go out.
The universe was vast, and as Hinata said, going out to explore and see the wide world.
Naruto said nothing more, nodding. They embraced, a final moment of tenderness.
In the future, separated by infinite cosmic space, reuniting in a short time was impossible.
The Nine-Tailed silently watched this scene.
He had reason to doubt, could this girl Hinatareally do so well?
He was very confused.
For so many years, it seemed Hinata had always quietly stood behind Naruto, without any light of her own.
Was she going out to shine now?
Had she finally figured things out?
Shukaku, beside the Nine-Tailed, sighed: "Should we also go out?"
"Nonsense!"
The Nine-Tailed rolled his eyes.
The universe was so big. Son Goku wasn't entirely reliable either; ultimately, they had to rely on these old partners.
If these elders didn't go out, who would?
He had already scouted the way; actually, the danger wasn't great.
Places like the Milky Way Galaxy were barren, and truly powerful individuals were rare.
In other words, most resource-rich areas were occupied by Frieza and his kind.
Now, according to Naruto's original words: "Surrounding the city from the countryside."
It was just that this time, the countryside was a bit different.
"It seems we've done this before, and now we're doing it again, so we're quite familiar with it."
The Nine-Tailed was full of confidence.
He was already eager to experience the benefits of rapidly expanding space.
Shukaku remained silent.
He only wanted to live idly and wait for death, but he also understood that this was impossible. If he didn't work hard, he would eventually be eliminated.
Perhaps Naruto wouldn't drive them away, but among this group of people, he would eventually fade into obscurity.
Was this what he wanted?
Obviously not!
So, he also had to work hard.
The other Tailed Beasts thought the same. After experiencing a good life, who would want to go back to hardship?
Undoubtedly, following Naruto meant good things to eat; wasn't that appealing?
It was merely about going to the universe to control planets.
And it was a very gentle form of control; with their strength, it was not a problem at all.
Moreover, they were Tailed Beasts; even if they died, they could be reborn, so it wasn't a big issue.
Thinking this way, they were also relieved.
They began to sharpen their knives, looking forward to a life in the cosmic starry sky.
For all living beings, fear of the unknown stems from insufficient firepower.
When firepower is sufficient, when strength is powerful enough to disregard everything, so-called fear will cease to exist.
They weren't afraid at all... "Vegeta was also left there. I wonder if he was killed. Is Dodoria almost here?"
Frieza stood on a planet, gazing up at the starry sky, narrowing his eyes, and said faintly: "I didn't expect even Vegeta couldn't handle it. I have such strong individuals in the North Milky Way that I control."
Dodoria wiped cold sweat: "Yes, I didn't expect it either."
They truly hadn't expected it.
In their view, those places were really remote, and it was somewhat difficult for a powerful being to emerge there.
And even if one did appear, they would leave the remote areas and head to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
One must know that the closer to the center, while there were more dangers, the resources were also more concentrated and abundant.
Aside from the deep-seated dangers of black holes, which they avoided, the difference in resources from the inside out was immense.
Planets were dense in the depths, and the life that could be born there had very strong adaptability.
Even a Saiyan entering such areas could truly be destroyed by asteroid impacts.
Only powerful individuals like Frieza could survive there.
Of course,
Perhaps the legendary Saiyan could too, but they had never seen one, only treating it as a legend.
Recalling his thoughts, Dodoria whispered: "He should be arriving soon. He's currently stationed on a place called Mars."
"According to records, this place called Mars also had life before."
"All indications suggest that there are theories that the origin of life on Earth was Mars."
Nonsense.
Frieza pouted.
If Mars had such strength, it wouldn't have left nothing behind by now.
"Never mind that. I'm only curious about one thing now: what good things does that place called Earth have?"
"Perhaps it will disappoint Lord Frieza."
"It doesn't matter."
Frieza suddenly lost interest upon hearing this.
At his level of power, he truly didn't know what to do anymore.
He spent his days as an interstellar bandit, engaging in the business of buying and selling planets.
After a long time, he would also feel empty.
"Lord Frieza, what's wrong?"
Dodoria was a bit surprised.
It was the first time he had seen such an expression on Lord Frieza's face.
As if he had lost his purpose.
"Nothing."
Frieza's spirits lifted. He had forgotten that he still had his brother Cooler, his father, and his clan.
They were all his enemies.
Frieza's lips curved into a cold smile: "I am a once-in-a-million genius; how could I be bound by my clan?"
"Just wait."
Frieza chuckled: "One day, the entire Milky Way Galaxy will be mine."
As for beyond the Milky Way Galaxy... Frieza fell silent.
One galaxy is too far from another galaxy.
Given the vastness of the universe, it was difficult for them to traverse the distance and reach another star system...
