"Hmph! They got away."
Vegeta stood with his arms crossed, watching the strange Dragon send all the Dragon Balls away. Among the Dragon Balls being sent away, there were several incredibly powerful auras.
"Kakarot, you actually made a wish to that bizarre Dragon just now."
The Dragon just now was puffing on a cigarette, occasionally exhaling smoke.
One look was enough to tell it wasn't a proper Dragon.
"Well, since it's something summoned from the Dragon Balls anyway, what if the wish succeeded?!"
Goku didn't mind Vegeta's taunt.
"Speaking of which, Vegeta, you saw it too, right?"
"One-Star, Three-Star, and Four-Star. The energy contained within these three Dragon Balls is much stronger than the others."
Although it was only a momentary perception, they had been immersed in Super Saiyan 4 for two years.
Such a keen perception couldn't be wrong.
"We'll leave these three Shadow Dragons for last. Let's go deal with the other Shadow Dragons first," Vegeta said.
"Two each, how about we see who's faster?" Goku chuckled.
"Alright, I'll take Two-Star Dragon and Five-Star Dragon." With that, Vegeta didn't give Goku a chance to object and immediately flew towards the Five-Star Dragon's direction.
"That guy Vegeta, he wouldn't think that the Dragons with lower star numbers are necessarily stronger, would he?" Goku said helplessly, "But, I can't lose to Vegeta either."
Goku turned around and looked at the people on the Lookout.
"There shouldn't be any danger here on the Lookout. It's safer to stay here," Goku said to the Z Fighters.
"Grandpa, I want to go with you too."
Goku placed his hand on Pan's head: "Be good, Pan, next time!"
He poked Pan's forehead with his finger: "Once this Shadow Dragon business is over, I'll take you to play on other planets in the universe."
"Grandpa, I'm not a child. Don't always look at me like I'm a little kid. Grandpa, you're even smaller."
"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry," Goku chuckled dryly.
How interesting!
Seeing Goku's family interact, Beryl was quite surprised.
GT's Goku's emotional intelligence was indeed good. Compared to Super's Goku, their personalities were similar, but they seemed like two different people. He was more composed than Super's Goku.
However, Goku, is it really okay for you to be making such a huge flag?
"Miss Beryl, if we defeat the Shadow Dragons, will the Dragon Balls be usable again?" Goku wanted to confirm this point.
After all, these appearing Shadow Dragons were not like previous opponents.
"Yes, don't worry about how many people on Earth die. Even if the Dragon ultimately can't do it, I can help you revive everyone who died unexpectedly from Super Androids 17 to the Shadow Dragon incident."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that," Goku nodded.
Then, Goku placed his finger on his forehead and left the Lookout using Instant Transmission.
Beryl looked up at the sky.
At this moment, everything in the sky was dim, giving off a lifeless feeling.
The sun's light was almost completely obscured.
"The negative energy of the entire universe is converging on Earth," Beryl murmured, "As I expected, the Black Star Dragon Balls collect negative energy from the universe more easily than ordinary Dragon Balls."
This is good too; it makes cleaning up less troublesome.
It's just, I wonder if the personalities of these Shadow Dragons will be different from the original story.
Beryl turned her attention to the Chat Group.
Speaking of which, she just started a live stream.
…
[World's No. 1 Princess: "My lovely group members, what did you think of the Dragon just now?"]
[Eru: "Very evil. Watching the live stream footage, my heart felt inexplicably heavy."]
[Shana: "Eh, do you all feel that way too?"]
[Uchiha Sasuke: "Yes, it's much more evil than Sharingan."]
[Uchiha Madara: "@Uchiha Sasuke, if you can't describe something, then don't. Look at the example you're using."]
Speechless, truly speechless.
What kind of idiot would describe their own eyes as evil?
[Uchiha Sasuke: "I was looking at intelligence reports, and I spoke too quickly without thinking."]
Uchiha Sasuke put down the documents in his hand.
He glanced at the palm-sized white snake sleeping on the table.
This was Orochimaru's communication snake; the information about Konoha he had just been reading was sent by it.
"Hmph, that naturally evil Senju Tobirama!"
"If I said something wrong, it must be that guy cursing me."
…
Konoha Village.
Just like in the original story, Uzumaki Naruto and his group successfully rescued Gaara and returned from Sunagakure.
Secretly protecting Uzumaki Naruto were Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Boruto from a parallel world.
Of course, Uzumaki Boruto was just an extra.
Naruto, Sasuke, and the others, who had just returned, happened to notice the 'assassins' carrying out a mission.
With Uchiha Sasuke's power, the two were quickly captured.
"How could this be… Why is it Grandpa Third Hokage?" Naruto's eyes widened in horror.
They had witnessed the Third Hokage eliminate a masked ANBU Ninja with their own eyes.
"It's not just the Third Hokage, but the Second Hokage too." Uchiha Sasuke's face darkened.
Edo Tensei, why would Edo Tensei appear at this time?
During his time in Konoha, he had indeed heard news of Konoha Ninja being killed, but Sasuke hadn't paid attention, thinking they were Ninja who died during normal missions.
Besides, as an outsider, it wasn't appropriate to inquire about such matters.
As he and Boruto settled in, such information became much less frequent.
He didn't expect that as soon as they went out, it would happen again.
Could it be Orochimaru?
Uchiha Sasuke did not interfere with Naruto's affairs, even during the battle to retrieve Gaara, he did not appear before anyone.
But this time, he had no choice but to come out.
The past was changing.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki also disappeared to who knows where.
While Naruto and Sasuke seized this time to hunt down the culprits who had been killing Konoha Ninja everywhere, Tsunade also arrived late.
For the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage, Konoha's barrier was like an undefended virgin land, stripped bare.
They could come and go as they pleased, with almost no possibility of being discovered.
Tsunade was also exasperated by the mysterious assassinations of Konoha Ninja.
"Second Hokage, and Sarutobi-sensei." Tsunade's body trembled slightly as she saw the two familiar figures.
"It's Edo Tensei. Someone revived them," Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.
To be honest, even in a parallel world, Uchiha Sasuke didn't have much good feelings towards the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage.
The reason he returned to Konoha was because of Naruto.
"Can you restore their consciousness?" Tsunade asked Uchiha Sasuke.
"Yes, but are you sure you want so many people here?" Sasuke looked at the large group of people around Tsunade.
Tsunade fell silent, then gestured for the ANBU to retreat.
"Alright, everyone here is one of us," Tsunade swept her gaze over everyone present.
Team Seven, plus herself and Shizune, as well as Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Boruto.
Now, with no outsiders present, there was no need to worry about any problems arising.
