"What's the matter? Maybe I can give you some advice?" Naruto said without any self-awareness.
As Kale brought up her Super Saiyan transformation problem, three question marks appeared on Naruto's forehead.
This problem... he truly didn't know how to answer.
"Oh right, anger? You want to master the emotion of anger?"
"Yeah."
"Then come with me!"
Sweeping the entire village every day, Naruto's familiarity with the village streets exceeded that of all the past Hokage of Konoha combined.
Even if he were blind and deaf right now, he could still run through the village. He was simply too familiar with its layout.
Naruto led Kale to a small training ground.
He motioned for Kale to look at the ninja training inside.
"Is that Auntie Sakura?" Kale didn't understand Uncle Naruto's intention in bringing her here.
"Hehe, look closely."
Kale quickly noticed the details...
Sakura had drawn a pig's head on the face of a scarecrow, then wrote the three large characters for "Ino-pig" on it. Finally, she was ruthlessly beating it punch after punch, occasionally throwing in a couple of kicks!
Kale: "..."
Was this Auntie Sakura planning a rebellion or something?
Naruto whispered, "Next up is the emotion of anger. You must observe carefully; there's only one chance."
He stood up and shouted loudly, "Good morning, Lady Hokage!"
Sakura jumped in fright and hurriedly turned around, using her thin body to block the scarecrow drawn with a pig's head. Her face was piled with a forced smile, but as she looked left and right, there was absolutely no sign of Ino in front of her. There was only Naruto, laughing so hard he was bending back and forth.
She clenched her fists, her pink hair nearly standing on end, and she said through gritted teeth, "...Naruto, Naruto! ...I'm going to kill you!"
Naruto ran wildly in front, while Sakura chased madly behind him. Kale was dumbfounded. Was this anger? This was murderous intent, right? However, this kind of emotion could indeed be used by her to catalyze the Super Saiyan transformation. She felt she had learned something!
...
Ten days quickly passed.
The site of the Cell Games.
In the center was a very flat ring, surrounded by a desolate wilderness. Cell stood in the very middle of the ring with his arms crossed over his chest.
Ino, wearing the full set of Supreme Kai attire, was the first to arrive. Future Trunks, No. 17, and the others closely followed behind her.
Future Trunks shot her a glance, asking if they should immediately fuse into Gohanks. She gently shook her head; there was no rush.
After waiting for a while, the Earth side's warriors—Son Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Nappa, Piccolo, Krillin, and even Yamcha—all took their positions. This time, they were missing No. 16, who usually just gave away his life, so it was unknown whether Son Gohan would be able to transform into Super Saiyan 2 at the critical moment.
Cell looked provocatively at Ino, and she similarly returned a disdainful gaze.
Before she could speak, a long motorcade quickly approached the ring. Sitting in the luxury car right in the middle was a trembling Mr. Satan.
The Mr. Satan of the original timeline didn't know Cell's power; he thought the other party was using bombs and cheap tricks, so he madly rushed over to provoke him. In this timeline, he had seen King Cold early on and had taken in Nappa, so he had enough discernment.
He didn't want to come at all. He had used every excuse to escape to the bathroom, but unfortunately, he was still spotted by sharp-eyed reporters and was then half-dragged to the competition site.
Mr. Satan's legs trembled as he forced himself to get out of the car. Facing the cameras, he sweated profusely while declaring that he would definitely defeat Cell and save the world!
He discreetly signaled to Ino and Nappa with his eyes, as if asking: Bosses, do you think someone like me can take the stage?
Ino and Nappa both shook their heads. Do you not have any idea of your own level?
Mr. Satan felt his heart run half cold. In order to give an explanation to the audience in front of the TV screens, he could only stall for time.
He stood at the edge of the ring, close to Nappa. Then, he took out 15 roof tiles from his bag and stacked them high. Taking a deep breath, he raised his palm high. Shoulder driving the arm, arm driving the elbow, elbow driving the wrist, he brought his palm down! He shattered 14 of the tiles!
The several reporters below the stage couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers.
Mr. Satan threw up his signature peace sign at the camera. "Everyone, please... please rest assured! The heavy responsibility of saving the world will be left to, left to, left to me!"
Satan threw a left hook, then a right hook, stepping in place with a butterfly footwork while making "hu-hu-ha-hei" sounds. From a distance of over ten meters, he began shadowboxing toward Cell.
While Mr. Satan was performing his tile-breaking act, Ino nodded gently to No. 17 and No. 18.
The two of them flew to the other two corners of the battlefield, forming a triangular formation with Ino.
The three raised their hands simultaneously. Relying on Ino's guidance, the two provided infinite energy support. Everyone on the battlefield, including the ring and Mr. Satan's tiles, vanished from Earth and were transferred to a desolate planet.
Seeing that the reporters and cameras were all gone, Mr. Satan hurriedly scrambled off the ring. It was too dangerous! But then, he looked around and saw two stars in the sky, leaving him a bit dumbfounded. Where was this?
Cell stood in the center of the ring, looking around. For a moment, even he didn't understand how this had been done.
He looked at Ino's rather bizarre attire.
"Just who exactly are you?"
Ino didn't make a sound, merely landing on the ring.
Cell shook his head slightly. "I want to fight Son Goku first. This is the Androids' mission, after all. Could you... could you take the second spot?"
"You reptile, do you think a deity will abide by the rules of your game? How arrogant!" Ino's eyes glinted. The time on this desolate planet was slightly disrupted, and countless rays of starlight were delayed to a single moment before being gathered and released together.
With a loud "boom," heavenly fire fell from out of nowhere. The scorching flames melted the ring that Cell had set up.
Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and the others hurriedly retreated. Satan hadn't reacted at all; it was the outwardly cold but inwardly warm No. 18 who pulled him to the rear.
"Uh... thank you! Thank you so much!"
No. 18 smiled extremely happily. "I know you. You're a famous billionaire. Five million."
Satan was stunned. "Huh? What?"
"Saving your life once costs five million."
Ino paid no mind to the monetary transaction happening below the ring. With a flip of her palm, the space was instantly inverted.
The sky was now beneath their feet, and the land was above their heads. Everyone was turned upside down.
Cell was momentarily stunned by this series of strange moves. Still following his inherent line of thought, he tried to return to a normal posture. Ino's palm flipped again, and the weight of what felt like a planet pressed down upon him. He forcefully shook his shoulders, shaking off the effects of the gravity, and threw a vicious right hook at Ino's face.
Ino curled her finger, and a massive boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties was compressed. Emitting a howling roar, it smashed horizontally toward Cell.
Cell gave a light shout and raised his elbow to shatter the boulder. His body's speed didn't decrease as his fist headed straight for Ino, seemingly wanting to blow her up with a single punch.
The two sides were separated by hundreds of meters. Even after smashing the boulder, Cell's speed remained incredibly fast. He was fast, but Ino was no slower.
The incoming punch was firmly caught. Both sides exerted their strength, but neither could overpower the other.
