"Rin, you little traitor who betrayed our revolutionary friendship!"
On the morning several days later, Kurenai, who had woken up early multiple times, discovered that her best friend had once again disappeared from the bedside.
With a strong sense of foreboding rising in her heart, she pulled open the door to Jin's room.
When she saw Rin lying in Jin's arms, rubbing against him like a ragdoll cat, she exploded on the spot.
'How dare you sneak a treat behind your best friend's back!'
Rin's face immediately turned bright red.
At the time, she herself didn't know what happened; she was just dazed and...
But after experiencing it once, the taste was like an addiction, hard to suppress.
[Ding! New group member, Uchiha Madara, has joined the group...]
The system suddenly issued a notification.
It made the group members, who had been discussing all sorts of topics, collectively pause, then launch into intense discussion.
[Izuna: @Madara, Wow, big brother, you're finally here!]
[Tobirama: To think it took you so long to die. What shady things were you secretly planning?]
[Hashirama: @Madara, Give it up, Madara. Jin is out there.]
[Vegeta: @Jin, Hey! Is it true what you said about Kakarot turning into a Super Saiyan? I absolutely refuse to accept that a low-class warrior can become the legendary Super Saiyan!]
Madara, who had just joined the group, was dumbfounded.
'Wh-what's going on?'
He had just created Black Zetsu and handed over the name 'Uchiha Madara' to Obito, making him the pawn for his own resurrection.
Then he cut off the Chakra Supply the Gedo Statue was providing him.
He's planning to quietly wait for Obito to manipulate Nagato and use the Rinne Rebirth to revive him in the future.
But, but how did he end up in this place in the blink of an eye?
...
Madara joining the group didn't attract much attention from Jin.
After all, there were so many of his old acquaintances in the group, so they could slowly explain it to him.
October 10th.
The chosen one of this world, Uzumaki Naruto, was finally born.
Different from the original work, Obito didn't come to cause trouble.
But that wasn't strange either.
After all, estimating the time, it had been less than a month since this kid put on the mask and took over Madara's position.
He probably hadn't even mastered Kamui proficiently yet.
If he dared to come now, wouldn't Minato beat the crap out of him?
By the way, Naruto, who should have had the surname 'Namikaze', was still named 'Uzumaki Naruto'.
According to Minato, it was because he felt it didn't matter whether the child took his or Kushina's surname.
The Uzumaki Clan was basically extinct now, so he wanted to use this method to preserve his wife's family.
...
And after another month or so.
December 27th, the wife of Hyuga Clan's head, Hyuga Hiashi, who was also Konan's classmate, Hyuga Hikari, gave birth to a baby girl.
She's named Hyuga Hinata.
Thus, the Konoha 12 were all assembled.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Ball World-
Looking at the baby boy with a tuft of silver hair on his head, held in Bulma's arms, Jin fell into a mysterious silence.
"...Shall we go get a marriage certificate?"
After several minutes of stunned silence, Jin squeezed out a sentence with difficulty.
To be honest, if Hancock and the others found out about this, they would absolutely freak out.
For so many years, regarding the marriage certificate issue, Jin had always played dumb.
The women also turned a blind eye to it.
But precisely because of this, once Jin married one of the women, this balance would inevitably be broken.
Understand the principle of worrying not about scarcity but about inequality?
But who would have thought Bulma would directly pull out such a trump card, forcing Jin into a corner.
Upon hearing Jin's words, a flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Bulma's eyes, then she coldly turned her face away, pretending to pout disdainfully:
"Tch! Don't flatter yourself. I wanted a child myself. I just borrowed your genes, that's all."
Jin: "..."
'Alright, we're all people of the world. Whatever you say goes.'
"Oh right, I'll give you this."
Jin took out a badge and pinned it on Trunks' swaddling clothes.
"A badge? Who gives a child something like that?"
Bulma raised an eyebrow.
"You don't understand~"
In the Chat Group of the Dead, Madara also fell into silence.
During this time, he had not only learned the basic concept and usage of this group from his little brother and his friend, but also heard about Jin's true strength.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes yet, when he heard Hashirama say that their peak strength during their lifetimes probably couldn't last a single moment against the current Jin, the Konoha Dancing King felt utterly numb.
There was no helping it.
Mainly because after obtaining Ryujin Jakka, Jin basically hadn't taken action personally in the Naruto World.
After all, he had so many underlings.
If the boss had to do everything, what was the point of having underlings?
It's like those protagonists in certain fanfictions who transmigrate to the One Piece World…
Clearly, they're the captain of a pirate crew, yet they still personally handle every little problem when it arises.
People can't tell if they're the captain or the nanny.
...
"Huh!?"
At that moment, Jin, who was reaching out to play with Uchiha Trunks, suddenly changed his expression.
At the same time, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo at Mount Paozu-
Tien training in the mountains with Chiaotzu-
Master Roshi and Krillin at Kame House...
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all looked in the same direction.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
Noticing the change in Jin's expression, Bulma immediately realized something was probably wrong.
"...Bulma, the Dragon Balls have been collected, right?"
Jin stood up and asked.
"Yes. Because you said before not to rush using them, I collected them and put them in the room after gathering them."
Bulma, holding Trunks, walked into the bedroom.
The seven Dragon Balls lay quietly in the center of the desk.
"You and Trunks stay home and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back. This time, probably many people will die, maybe even the Earth could be destroyed. If it comes to that, we'll have to rely on the Dragon Balls' power."
Originally, the main cast planned to use the Dragon Balls to resurrect Yamcha, who died at Nappa's hands.
But considering the possibility of Frieza coming to Earth, Jin suggested keeping the Dragon Balls as a precaution.
Goku and the others had no objections to this.
After all, compared to the entire Earth, Yamcha's issue was truly insignificant.
Not to mention he was living quite comfortably with King Kai right now.
After instructing the mother and child, Jin flew north using Flight Technique.
The three from the Son Family at Mount Paozu, Krillin from Kame House, Tien and Chiaotzu from the deep mountains, and the others also flew towards that direction.
They all felt it.
A large number of unfamiliar Ki were coming from there.
Among them was one Ki that was astonishingly large.
It's definitely Frieza!
In the chat group:
[Vegeta: Frieza is here! That guy is finally here!]
At this moment, Vegeta's feelings were conflicted.
After all, both Jin's group and Frieza were existences he extremely disliked.
Supporting either side made him uncomfortable.
After some internal struggle, Vegeta decided, just this once, to support Jin and Goku and those bastards.
After all, Frieza was even more of a scumbag than them.
During the flight, Jin met up with Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo.
"Oh ya~ Long time no see, Rin."
Goku waved.
"So? Can you transform yet?"
Jin flew side-by-side with him, glancing sideways.
"Huh? Tr-transform into what?"
Seeing Goku's confused expression, Jin knew that the over half a year of training hadn't allowed Goku to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan.
"Goku! Gohan! Jin! Piccolo!"
A bald head suddenly emerged from the crowd.
Krillin had arrived too.
Jin glanced meaningfully at Krillin.
'Tsk tsk, looks like we still have to resort to the sacrificial Krillin method.'
"Everyone knows who Frieza is, right?"
Jin changed the subject.
"I've already heard from King Kai. He's an evil-doer and the strongest in the universe, right?"
Goku clenched his fists, barely able to contain his excitement:
"It was such a pity not being able to fight you and that guy named Vegeta last time. To encounter such a strong opponent this time is really something to look forward to. So exciting!"
Well, Goku was still that pure youth, not a single bit changed.
Krillin said helplessly:
"Goku, this is a decisive battle concerning the survival of all humanity. If things go badly, the Earth could be gone."
...
[Ace: Hehe~ Another good show to watch. Recently, this Rin guy has been completely focused on women, it's boring me to death.]
[Madara: These people constantly talk about destroying planets. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?]
Even with Madara's arrogant personality, he wouldn't dare to casually throw around words like 'destroying a planet'.
Yet in this group's mouths, the words 'planet destruction' were as simple as eating and drinking.
[Tobirama: @Madara, Frog in a well. You'll know once you see it with your own eyes later.]
[Izuna: @Tobirama, What are you so proud of? It's not like you're the awesome one. In the end, that kid Jin is still from our Uchiha Clan. What does your Senju Clan have to offer now besides one big-breasted girl?]
[Hashirama: @Izuna: Hey hey, watch your words, Izuna. If you want to scold Tobirama, just scold him. Don't bring Tsuna-chan into it.]
[Tobirama: I, damn it...]
...
North City.
Son Goku and the others were not unfamiliar with this city.
Because the first time they participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament was held in this city.
When everyone arrived above the city, they happened to see a disc-shaped spaceship swiftly passing overhead and landing in the suburbs about ten kilometers away from the North City.
Sensing the 530,000 battle power level coming from the spaceship, everyone in the main cast except Jin and Goku turned pale with fright.
"G-Goku, Jin... d-do you think you can win?"
Large drops of cold sweat fell from Krillin's smooth scalp as he turned to ask the two highest combat powers in their group.
"Well... We'll know after we fight."
Goku scratched his cheek.
"...Not very confident."
Jin was, as always, not one to boast when he couldn't.
Because Jin really couldn't think of a way to make himself angry, he was learning from Vegeta's awakening method.
Using hellish training that pushed his body to the limit to forcibly awaken.
But it took Vegeta a full three years to awaken using this method.
Even if Jin had higher talent, he had only trained for over half a year so far.
He couldn't transform either.
If he teamed up with Goku to fight Frieza's third form, their chances of winning were probably around 30-40%.
"But don't worry. If we really can't win, I'll run away."
Jin said with a laugh.
"Don't make such unfunny jokes at a time like this!"
Piccolo couldn't help but complain.
But he didn't know Jin wasn't joking.
If they really couldn't win, Jin truly intended to flee.
Fight if you can win, run if you can't.
It wasn't anything shameful.
That kind of boring pride, Jin claimed he never had any.
But since the fight hadn't started yet, Jin shouldn't keep dampening their own morale. He patted Krillin's shoulder and said lightly:
"Just joking, just joking. Don't worry, everyone. I still have a trump card up my sleeve."
Hearing Jin's words, Krillin, Tien, and the others, who had just turned pale, immediately showed radiant smiles.
'A trump card?'
'That must be very strong, right?'
"Jin, wh-what trump card? Is it a new ultimate move?"
Krillin asked excitedly.
"Hehe, can't say, can't say~"
Jin said with a smile, glancing subtly at Krillin.
It made Piccolo and the others want to hit someone.
'Get out of here, you riddle-maker!'
"Huh!?"
At that moment, Goku's expression changed drastically.
And everyone else, including Jin, had the same expression.
"What's going on? An-another very powerful Ki has appeared."
Son Gohan said dumbly.
"This ki..."
Jin narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
'It feels strangely familiar, this Ki…'
...
...
The spaceship from outer space slowly landed in the suburban area about ten kilometers away from the North City.
Several minutes later, the spaceship hatch slowly opened.
Many aliens wearing combat armor similar to what Vegeta and Nappa wore over half a year ago quickly ran out.
They lined up in two rows, like an honor guard, welcoming the current strongest in the universe.
"Frieza-sama, we have successfully arrived on Earth."
A man with green hair in pigtails stood at the side of the door, bowing respectfully.
A few seconds later, Frieza, currently only in his first form, flew out from inside riding a small spherical vehicle.
"Those fools on Namek were so stupid. If they had just obediently handed over the Dragon Balls, it would have been fine. They actually made me waste time coming to this planet in a remote part of the universe..."
Frieza's expression wasn't very good.
Just as Jin predicted, the Namekians would rather die than hand the Dragon Balls over to Frieza.
In the end, they met their demise, their race destroyed, and ultimately, Namek itself was destroyed by Frieza.
After much investigation, Frieza learned that on Earth, in a remote galaxy of the universe, Dragon Balls also existed.
Moreover, Vegeta and Nappa had already taken action first, coming to Earth to search for the Dragon Balls.
But then there was no news from them afterwards.
So he hurried over without stopping.
"This time, don't kill them right away. Torture them slowly, force the Earthlings to reveal the Dragon Balls' whereabouts."
Frieza said coldly.
Last time on Namek, he got carried away with killing and accidentally killed the Great Elder of the Namekians, the creator of the Dragon Balls, causing the Dragon Balls to turn to stone.
This time, he'd be a bit gentler.
After obtaining eternal life through the Dragon Balls, he could always destroy this planet that also annoyed him.
"Yes! Frieza-sama!"
Frieza's lackeys responded in unison.
'Speaking of which, Vegeta and his lackey completely vanished. Did they get the Dragon Balls and run away? Or were they killed by Earthlings?'
Frieza pinched his chin in thought.
But two seconds later, he didn't dwell on it.
He didn't think there existed anyone on Earth who could kill Vegeta and Nappa.
Even if there was, taking a step back, what could they do to him, the [Emperor of the Universe], Frieza-sama?
Tap…
Just as the Frieza Force was preparing to move, a footstep attracted their attention.
Turning to look, what came into view was a short youth about the same height as Frieza.
"What do you want, human brat?"
Dodoria, one of Frieza's lackeys, raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I am here to kill you all."
The boy had immature features, looking about twelve years old, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, clearly the makings of a handsome man.
However, at this moment, the killing intent emanating from within him completely overshadowed his fine features.
