Ino did not immediately go to find Might Guy and Rock Lee, the master and disciple pair. Instead, she asked Bardock, "How many times gravity can you Saiyans withstand?"
"Only the highest multiplier of gravity is worthy of a Saiyan."
"...Alright, follow me."
Ino needed Bardock to recover to the point where he could transform into a Super Saiyan; only in this state could he defeat Pikkon. As for Son Gohan, within the group of Saiyans—who were all basically cheats—he was considered to have immense potential. Just a bit of casual training would convert that potential into battle power, so she didn't need to worry about him. She immediately led the two to the room with 100 times gravity.
"Good place!" Walking into the gravity room, Bardock was very satisfied.
Son Gohan's small face turned beet red, and he struggled even to take a step.
Bardock didn't look at his grandson but instead looked at Ino.
Ino walked briskly in the 100 times gravity environment, as if she felt nothing at all.
"What? Is it strange? This is where I live. Speaking of which, although I don't put my life on the line like you Saiyans do, I have trained here as well."
Ino's base battle power was nearing 240,000; 100 times gravity affected her, but the impact was truly insignificant.
Bardock seemed to want to say something, but she waved her hand first to cut him off. "Don't. I have no interest in fighting. Your son, on the other hand, is a battle maniac. Save your energy and go compete with your son in a few days."
Ino signaled for the grandfather and grandson to keep up. She gave a rough introduction of the room's interior, then took them to see the adjacent rest area.
She had manufactured the recovery fluid taught to her by Old Berry. At this moment, three healing pods had been established in the lounge. One was for her own use, and the remaining two could be opened for Bardock's use.
The recovery effect of this green fluid was not as fast as a Senzu Bean, but it won out in sustainability. She grew all nineteen types of medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden in Konoha Village, harvesting a batch every so often to compound the agent. This was far more economical than Senzu Beans, which took hundreds of years to yield just a few beans.
Training for half a day, then soaking in the green recovery fluid for half a day to soothe the spirit while repairing physical damage, and then coming out to continue training—she believed this was the most scientific method.
She didn't have the cheat-like ability to resurrect from near-death during combat and skyrocket in battle power like exploiting a bug, so her demand for Senzu Beans wasn't large.
"This is from those people on Planet Plant..."
"That's right, Old Berry taught it to me."
Bardock pursued his lips and said nothing more.
Bardock took Son Gohan to do basic training, and Ino stopped disturbing the grandfather and grandson. She went to the 50 times gravity room and soon saw Guy-sensei and Rock Lee, who were sweating like rain.
The two body-refining fierce men looked as if they had just been fished out of a pool. They didn't go to watch the matches, nor did they go to eat delicious food; they just trained fiercely here every day.
She went to the rest area on the side to take a look. Good lord, the green recovery medicinal liquid was visibly about to run out.
Were Guy-sensei and Rock Lee here to mooch off her?
"I am sorry! I am so sorry!" Guy-sensei's attitude in admitting his mistake was excellent, stating that this was all his own idea and had nothing to do with his disciple.
"Pay attention to your body; you need to strike a balance between work and rest." Little Lee's body, due to the energy changes in the general environment and taking advantage of his youth, had already replenished his deficits through massive dietary supplementation. However, Guy-sensei's brain was still a bit sick... this had nothing to do with the general environment.
This man trained with his life on the line. He didn't have any thoughts of showing off in front of others, nor did he have much interest in fighting itself; he simply liked to exercise his body.
Ino couldn't persuade him further. "I'll give you the bill later. You have to compensate me for the consumption."
"No problem! Thank you! I really troubled you!" Guy-sensei kept bowing, making Ino feel embarrassed. When an elder begged you like this, what could you say?
...
The World Martial Arts Tournament proceeded steadily. When the competition entered the late stages of the preliminaries, Ino took leave and departed from the Grand Kai's Planet.
Kaguya Otsutsuki had crushed the kunai she left in the Core Dimension.
Ino instructed Hinata and her daughter to take good care of themselves, and to seek help from the North Kai if anything happened.
She didn't go to the Core Dimension immediately. Instead, she arrived at a small asteroid 20 light-years away from the Blue Planet to find Karin and the little fox stationed there.
Hinata and Little Himawari inherited her connections and resources in the light.
Karin and the little fox inherited the forces she had deployed in the dark.
Ino was not a nobody in the universe; she belonged to the class of big shots where "speaking my name alone is enough to startle you."
With the preparation of the First Other World Martial Arts Tournament, her reputation grew larger and larger. Everyone would have a day when they died. You might not fear Ino Yamanaka while you were alive, but what about after you died? Would you still dare to stick your neck out and say you weren't afraid?
From time to time, some small factions would defect entirely to the Chamber of Commerce's side, and this required a manager. Karin was very suitable.
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Karin's foundation was not poor. After being strengthened twice, her strength had long since surpassed Kage-level.
The spaceship captured in the South Continent back then had undergone years of modification by Karin. Combined with various technologies Ino had purchased from numerous races in the universe, its performance after refitting was now excellent.
With this spaceship as the flagship, plus some ships purchased, seized, and built, the Yamanaka Chamber of Commerce that Karin prepared could be considered top-tier in the nearby star sectors.
Kakuzu, Hidan, Yahiko, Konan, and Deidara—these ninja who had awkward identities in the shinobi world—had all joined the Chamber of Commerce, counting as talents transported from the shinobi world into the universe.
The group each had their own strengths.
After breaking free from the feudal ethical constraints of the shinobi world, Konan had completely embarked on a different artistic path. She was now a fashion designer quite famous in several nearby star sectors. She herself adopted a mature woman style; many of her off-shoulder and open-back designs, which previously could only be worn as undergarments for self-admiration, could now be worn openly without needing to cover up her good figure with a large robe anymore.
Yahiko taught himself five or six languages commonly used in the universe. He learned various systems, history, and legal knowledge from other intelligent races to perfect his theory of "Universal Love and Non-Aggression." He was currently sprinting down the path of a writer, thinker, and revolutionary.
Hidan's performance was average. On the surface, he looked like a person, but in secret, he was a cult leader specializing in brainwashing aliens.
Kakuzu's coffin money had all been swept away by "Obito," so the 90-year-old man had re-entered the workforce! He was now the Chamber of Commerce's accountant. He also moonlighted outside as a doctor in a black clinic. Relying on Earth Grudge Fear, helping to reattach an arm or a leg was very easy for him. He could even independently complete surgeries like heart transplants, and his efficiency was no worse than the medical pods of many high-tech civilizations.
The one who let himself go the most was Deidara.
After entering the universe, various scientific technologies greatly broadened his horizons. His previous thoughts were at most blowing up a village, but now? He couldn't wait to blow up the universe.
He researched day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. If he was short on funds, he would put on women's clothing, disguise himself as Ino, and go to planets with lower martial value to commit extortion and blackmail...
