Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 419 Traveling Around the Ninja World: Super Useful Skills Goku Learns! Back to the Dragon Balls! (Three-in-One Chapter)

The sky was azure, and white clouds drifted lazily by.

The warm sunlight slowly shone down, falling on several figures on the windswept plain.

"We really owe you a lot this time, young Goku. Without your help, we would all be trapped in this illusionary world forever, and would have become nourishment for Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Onoki stood in front of Goku and said gratefully.

"That's right. You saved our lives this time. I will never forget this kindness, and neither will we in Kirigakure."

Mei Terumi, standing beside the Ōnoki tree, put aside all her alluring charm and spoke to Goku with great seriousness.

"Lord Wukong, I won't waste any more words of politeness. If you ever need any help in the future, the entire Cloud Village will do everything in our power!"

Ai patted his chest heavily, making a solemn promise with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that the three seniors had finished speaking, Gaara smiled and said, "Goku, the three seniors have already expressed their gratitude and thanks, so I won't say anything more. I just want to say that if you have time in the future, you can come to our Sunagakure as a guest. Although our environment is relatively harsh, we have unique delicacies that other countries don't have, which will surely satisfy your appetite."

As he spoke, he glanced at Naruto almost imperceptibly, receiving a cheerful nod from Naruto.

Clearly, Goku's fondness for food was something he had secretly learned from Naruto.

Upon hearing about unique delicacies, Wukong's eyes lit up instantly: "Do you have any good food there? Okay, okay, I'll definitely go!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki, Mei Terumi, and Gaara exchanged glances, then all stared at Gaara.

Well, you little rascal! You actually managed to secretly find out this information, trying to keep it all to yourself, huh!

Hmph! Don't even think about it!

The three men stepped forward almost simultaneously and said to Wukong, "Young friend Wukong, we in Iwagakure also have unique delicacies that other countries don't have! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Lord Wukong, the food in the Land of Lightning is the most unique and delicious! No other country can compare! Just come to our Land of Lightning!"

"Lord Wukong, believe me, only Kirigakure can offer you a feast unlike any other. I cordially invite you to visit our village!"

The three of them used every trick in the book to promote their country, hoping to get Wukong to visit them.

The reason they did this was not only because Goku was their great benefactor, but also because they had recently learned that Goku did not belong to the ninja world.

Now that things have come to this point, even a fool could see that Goku is definitely not from Konoha. If that's the case, then where is Goku from? Onoki, Mei Terumi, A, and Gaara all wanted to know the answer to this question, so they asked Tsunade.

Tsunade and Jiraiya have been hiding Goku's identity all along, mainly to protect him. But they both know that there is no need to hide it anymore. With Goku's terrifying strength, which can destroy the moon and far surpasses all of theirs, who is protecting whom?

So they asked Goku for his opinion, and as expected, he said no problem. Then they told the four Kage about Goku coming from another world.

Upon learning of this, the four shadows were shocked, but then they suddenly realized what was going on.

So that explains why Goku seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and why he was so ridiculously powerful, with a fighting style so different from ninjas. He must have come from another world. That makes sense.

Naruto and Kakashi were also quite surprised. They had never known Goku's origins before, and now that they knew, they, like the four Kage, had expressions of sudden realization.

It's worth mentioning that they also pressed Wukong about the reason why he transformed into a giant ape. When they heard that Wukong could transform into a giant ape simply by witnessing a full moon, they couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful the world is.

"Oh? You have good food where you live?"

Goku, bombarded with questions, was struggling to keep up. He kept glancing at A, then at Mei Terumi, then at Dai...

Noki.

"Hey, I'm telling you, you're all seniors with some standing, can you stop arguing like three-year-olds?" Tsunade finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the argument between A, Mei Terumi, and Onoki.

"Oh? What are your thoughts, Princess Tsunade?" Onoki turned to look at them, as did Mei Terumi and A.

"It's not really an insight. Since you want Goku to visit you, why don't you just let him go one by one? Is it really necessary to argue about it?" Tsunade waved her hand.

Gaara smiled and said, "Yes, my three seniors, we don't need to fight. Why don't we each invite Goku to our country as guests?"

Ai, Mei Terumi, and Onoki exchanged a glance.

"That's true."

Just as the three of them had approved the plan, Tsunade covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to Goku, "Hey, Goku, you don't actually have to go. Their food is just so-so. If you really want to eat it, there are chefs in Konoha who can make the exact same thing for you in no time."

Wukong blinked: "Huh? Is that so?"

Onoki, Mei Terumi, and Aiden glared at Tsunade, shouting, "Tsunade!!! Don't think we can't hear you!!!"

"Hahahaha!" Naruto couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As if infected by his laughter, Wukong also burst into laughter, his voice filled with innocent joy.

Following closely behind, several more bursts of laughter joined in. It was Ai, Mei Terumi, Onoki, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others. Their laughter spread far and wide, as if endless joy was roaming the world.

On the other side, Kakashi did not join the feast of laughter. Instead, he stood alone, gazing wistfully at the horizon with a somewhat melancholic expression.

"It's all over," he murmured.

When Obito challenged him to a duel, he thought that Obito still harbored unrealistic fantasies as before, so he told Obito the truth about the Eye of the Moon Plan in an attempt to make Obito realize the truth.

But to his surprise, Obito ignored this and focused solely on attacking him.

Left with no other choice, he had to fight his opponent.

But not long after, something completely unexpected happened.

In a simple attack, an attack that Obito could have easily avoided landed directly on him, causing a fatal injury.

Kakashi was quite shocked by this and questioned the other party in bewilderment.

Obito, however, didn't seem to care about his injuries at all. Instead, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Kakashi, all these years I feel like I'm a joke."

Hiding in the Kamui dimension, he had already heard everything clearly. The truth that Madara Uchiha was controlled by Black Zetsu shocked him far more than anyone else.

He knew he was a pawn of Madara Uchiha, and he had tried to escape Madara's chessboard and become another player. He felt he had succeeded halfway, but he never expected that in the end, the so-called player was just a pawn of another, bigger dark hand. No matter how he jumped, he could never escape.

Upon learning the truth, he was disheartened, feeling that all his actions over the years had been a joke. His thoughts and will, which he had once firmly believed were under his control, were actually subtly instilled in him by others; they were not his own.

If that's the case, is he still the same person now?

He fell into a deep state of confusion.

It wasn't until he saw Madara Uchiha choose to believe in Naruto and leave this world without any regrets that he gradually came to his senses and realized that this was probably the only fate he had left.

So he left the Kamui dimension and chose to use Kakashi's help to achieve liberation.

"Obito, you..." Kakashi's expression was incredibly complicated; he didn't know what to say.

Only now did he understand the intention behind bringing ten.

"Heh, no need to say so much, you should know that this is the best place for me." Obito smirked.

Leaving aside the fact that he caused numerous disturbances and harmed many people, his act of killing his teacher alone is enough to earn him the contempt of countless people and to make him have no reason or face to continue living in this world.

Therefore, death was the best outcome for him.

Kakashi understood this as well, and he became completely silent.

In the end, he watched as his once dearest friend closed his eyes and passed away before him.

This great war, which affected six countries and influenced the entire ninja world, has finally come to a complete end.

When the Allied Shinobi Forces and even those who remained in the village heard the news of their victory, everyone cheered loudly and their eyes filled with tears.

After the war, the five Kage quickly convened a meeting with Naruto, Jiraiya, and other influential figures in their respective ninja villages to discuss the future of the ninja world and the proper handling of the tailed beasts.

Ultimately, they reached a consensus to actively promote the peaceful development of the ninja world. The five great nations should take the lead and set an example by jointly building a peaceful, cooperative, and mutually beneficial international environment. They would then gradually spread this concept and atmosphere to other small and medium-sized countries, thereby bringing true peace to the entire ninja world.

As for the arrangement of the Tailed Beasts, the principle of prioritizing the Tailed Beasts' wishes is upheld. Homes suitable for the Tailed Beasts to live in are created in various countries, and a series of measures are taken to gradually resolve the hatred between the Tailed Beasts and humans and repair the relationship between them.

Time flies.

Soon, a week had passed since the end of the great war.

"Wukong, let's go!"

As dawn broke, Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs towards the upper floors of Jiraiya's house.

"Here it comes!"

Several tinkering sounds came from the second floor, and then Wukong, carrying a bag on his back, jumped out of the window and landed steadily on the ground.

"Huh, isn't the Perverted Sage here?" Naruto looked up at the second floor in surprise.

Knowing Jiraiya as he did, he knew that Jiraiya would be angrily yelling at him for being so noisy, but even after Goku jumped down, there was not a sound coming from the window of Jiraiya's room.

"Uncle Jiraiya? He's not here."

Goku subconsciously turned his head to look, then turned back to Naruto and said that he couldn't sense Jiraiya's ki in the room.

"Not here? Where did you go so early in the morning?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

But he quickly dismissed the question, put his hands behind his head, and said nonchalantly, "Never mind him, Goku, let's go find Kakashi-sensei. He's probably still sleeping in at home right now."

"Mhm!" Wukong nodded.

The two quickly left the area, turning left and right on the quiet streets, and soon arrived at Kakashi's house.

Then, just like he had called out to Goku before, Naruto yelled at Kakashi at the top of his lungs, "Kakashi-sensei!! Wake up!!"

Goku seemed to find it amusing, so he also cupped his hands into a megaphone shape, put them in front of his mouth, and shouted, "Kakashi!!"

"Get up!! We're off!!"

A few seconds later, a sleepy-eyed Kakashi pulled back the curtains and looked down at the two people downstairs, speechless.

"Hey you guys, it's only this late, it's not time yet."

Naruto said with a grin, "Kakashi-sensei, Goku and I can't wait any longer! We want to set off right away!"

Wukong grinned and said, "Yes, yes! I can't wait to eat something delicious."

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Alright, then wait a moment."

After saying that, he disappeared out the window, clearly to change his clothes.

Not long after, Kakashi, having changed his clothes, walked out from the main entrance on the first floor, hands in his pockets, carrying a bag like Goku and Naruto.

"Let's go, our first destination is Sunagakure."

Kakashi raised his hand, yawned, and said to the two of them.

"Let's go!"

"Time to eat something delicious!"

Goku and Naruto, beaming with joy, left with Kakashi.

At the invitation of the Hidden Sand Village, Hidden Stone Village, Hidden Cloud Village, and Hidden Mist Village, Goku will begin his world tour starting today.

A culinary tasting journey.

Naruto served as his travel companion, while Kakashi acted as his guide and butler, handling various miscellaneous matters during the trip.

The streets were slightly damp in the early morning, and the occasional clear bird song could be heard from afar.

Goku and Naruto walked at the front, their faces beaming with smiles.

Kakashi, who was following behind, kept yawning. He had nothing to do last night, so he reread his favorite book, "Intimate Violence." He became so engrossed in it that he didn't put the book down until 4 a.m. and fell into a deep sleep. He had only slept for less than two hours when he was woken up by Goku and Naruto. You can imagine how bad his mental state was.

The three walked along the street toward the village entrance.

As Goku passed by a certain street, he suddenly sensed something and looked to the right of the street entrance: "Hey, I can smell Jiraiya's presence. He's over there. And Tsunade is over there too."

Upon hearing the title "Sister Tsunade" once again, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He knew why Goku called Tsunade that way, because it was Tsunade who told Goku to call her that. But he always felt it was strange. A senior who was over fifty years old and the same age as Jiraiya was always acting young. It was really incongruous!

Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart. If he dared to say them out loud... he felt that he probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

"The perverted sage and Granny Tsunade?" Naruto looked in the direction Goku was looking after hearing Goku's voice.

At the far right end of the street corner, instead of a building, there is a park, the park that Naruto, Jiraiya, and others often visit.

Standing here and looking into the distance, one can vaguely see the lake surface in the park, which glows with a pale red light. In front of the lake, two small black dots can be seen, which seem to be two heads.

"What are the perverted sage and Granny Tsunade doing here so early in the morning?" Naruto asked, puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at Kakashi.

Kakashi had snapped out of his reverie at being called Goku, and fell silent upon seeing Naruto's gaze.

What are you doing here? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

All I know is that I can't possibly come here to handle official business so early in the morning.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his eye suddenly twitched.

Could it be: "Let's go see what they're doing!"

Just as a thought popped into Kakashi's mind, Naruto suddenly spoke with great interest, then strode off toward the park.

Upon seeing this, Kakashi's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! What if it really is what he thinks? If they go and stumble upon it now, wouldn't that be...? His body tensed, and he wanted to step forward and grab Naruto and Goku, who had already followed Naruto, but before he could do so, he withdrew his hand, a look of struggle on his face.

No way! He himself really wanted to see for himself whether it was as he thought.

But... but what if it really is as I think? Then Jiraiya and the Hokage chose this time to avoid being discovered. And if they find out, won't they be silenced?

Hmm... probably not. After all, with Wukong around, even if they wanted to silence him, they couldn't!

Once he understood this, Kakashi's eyes lit up, and without further hesitation, he immediately followed.

On the lakeside bench where Naruto often sat, Jiraiya and Tsunade sat on either side, about half a meter apart.

"It's been so long since I've seen the sunrise," Tsunade said with a touch of emotion, gazing at the red sun just peeking over the horizon.

"Yes, it has been a long time indeed." Jiraiya casually agreed, seemingly gazing at the rising sun, but his eyes were actually fixed on Tsunade out of the corner of his eye.

Not only that, his buttocks also shifted slightly towards Tsunade's direction, bringing the two closer to a barely perceptible distance.

As the two chatted about this and that, Jiraiya kept shifting his position, and the distance between them gradually closed.

Tsunade seemed oblivious to this, simply gazing intently at the rising sun.

Behind the two, about thirty meters away, three heads emerged from the bushes, watching the scene without blinking. They were Goku, Naruto, and Kakashi.

"Give it your all, you perverted sage! You're almost there!" Naruto muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.

He never expected that just coming out of curiosity would lead to such a gossipy scene. He never imagined that there would be such a situation between the perverted sage and Granny Tsunade!

Kakashi's deadpan expression had vanished; his usually lazy eyes were now brimming with gossip.

Just as he suspected! Jiraiya and the Hokage were involved in something just like he thought!

Of the three, only Goku looked bewildered. He had originally intended to greet Jiraiya and Tsunade, but Naruto and Kakashi dragged him here and made him squat in the bushes with them, watching quietly.

But after looking at them for a long time, he couldn't see anything unusual. What were they looking at?

Jiraiya and Tsunade were less than five centimeters apart, a distance that was extremely close. They could touch each other with the slightest movement, but Jiraiya remained motionless.

Just as Naruto was getting impatient and wondering if the perverted sage had chickened out, Jiraiya suddenly raised his right hand, pretended to smooth his hair, and then casually placed it on the back of the chair, behind Tsunade.

Just a little further forward, and I can catch Tsunade.

Upon seeing this, Naruto instantly perked up, his eyes widening and his face flushed with excitement.

"Hiss! So that's what the lecherous immortal was planning."

Kakashi also perked up, staring intently ahead, ready to witness this unmissable historical moment.

Under the focused gazes of the two, Jiraiya clenched his fists tightly, seemingly a little nervous. He slowly moved his arm forward, as if to embrace Tsunade, but stopped halfway. This made Naruto and Kakashi anxious, like watching a movie that was about to reach its climax but suddenly stopped.

"Hurry up, perverted sage, don't back down! We're almost there!" Naruto muttered anxiously.

As if hearing his muttering, Jiraiya's arm began to move again. Naruto instantly held his breath, his eyes fixed on the scene, afraid of missing the crucial moment that was about to unfold.

Just as Jiraiya's arm was about to touch Tsunade's back, Naruto's eyes widened, his entire focus fixed on it.

But at that moment, Jiraiya suddenly swung his arm backward, and his clenched fist opened at the same time. A pebble the size of a fingernail flew through the air and struck Naruto on the forehead with a whoosh.

"Ouch!!!"

Naruto collapsed to the ground, clutching his forehead and crying out in pain.

"Naruto, have you had enough of looking at me for so long?" Jiraiya turned his head and looked at him with a teasing smile on his face.

"Perverted Sage, you...you knew we were here all along?" Naruto jumped up, grimacing as he covered his bright red forehead.

"Nonsense, Tsunade and I found out a long time ago. Did you think you could hide it from us?" Jiraiya sneered disdainfully, then looked at Goku, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, he noticed Naruto and Kakashi's arrival, but he didn't notice Goku's presence. He only realized Goku was there when he turned around and saw him with his own eyes.

Is your aura so perfectly concealed that it's impossible to detect?

Jiraiya thought to himself, but asked aloud, "By the way, Goku, why are you with those two? This isn't like you."

Goku stood up, scratched his head, and looked completely bewildered, revealing Naruto and Kakashi's little secret: "I sensed your and Tsunade's presence earlier and wanted to come and say hello, but Naruto and Kakashi dragged me here and told me to just watch quietly. I don't even know what I'm supposed to watch."

"So that's how it is. I knew it. Goku, you don't seem like the kind of guy who likes to spy on others." Tsunade finally turned around and glanced at Naruto and Kakashi with amusement, making the two of them feel uneasy.

"Ahem, well, Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Goku, Naruto, and I are leaving for another country today. Let's not delay, we'll be leaving now, and it will probably be several months before we return."

Kakashi stood up as if nothing had happened and said in a serious tone.

"Haha, right, right, we still have to go to Sunagakure, we can't waste time, we have to hurry up." Naruto scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

Tsunade didn't press them further, nodding, "I understand. Have fun. Oh, and Kakashi, if anything happens on the road, let the village know immediately."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Kakashi nodded solemnly, then turned and left with Goku and Naruto.

After watching the three leave, Tsunade withdrew her gaze but did not turn around. Instead, she glanced at the arm that had somehow reappeared on the back of her chair, then looked at Jiraiya with a playful smile on her lips.

Jiraiya's face stiffened at her gaze, because usually when Tsunade made that expression, it meant he was about to get beaten up.

Am I overthinking things? Does Tsunade not mean it that way? Or am I just being too hasty?

In an instant, a jumble of thoughts flooded his mind, and his arm instinctively tried to retract.

But Tsunade straightened up at that moment, looked at the rising sun that had already peeked out in the distance, and said, "A man should act like a man. What kind of man is this, being all fussy and indecisive?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

The next second, he realized what was happening and his eyes softened. A genuine smile appeared on his face, and he naturally put his arm around the beautiful woman beside him.

The pale red glow of the sunset bathed their shoulders, casting long shadows of them leaning against each other on the ground behind them.

A gentle breeze blows, and strands of hair flutter.

The two watched the sun rise slowly, enjoying a rare moment of tenderness.

Meanwhile, in Amegakure Village.

Xiao Nan stood in front of the two graves and placed two bunches of white chrysanthemums in front of them.

"Yahiko, Nagato, this world is truly developing into the world we dreamed of. I will watch over it for you, and after I die, I will tell you everything."

Xiao Nan revealed a faint smile, a smile as cool and serene as a gardenia, yet also revealing a hope she hadn't felt in a long time.

Sunagakure Village.

"Goku, welcome to our place. Naruto, Kakashi-senpai, we're old friends, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Gaara, along with several core members, specially came to the village entrance to greet Goku and his group, who had traveled all the way from Konoha.

"Where's the good food?"

Having spent half a day eating sand in the desert and barely ate anything, Wukong was now starving. His eyes gleamed green, and disregarding all etiquette, his first question was about food.

Besides, Gaara initially invited him here by offering delicious food; otherwise, he might not have been willing to come to this place filled with yellow sand. Wouldn't it have been better for him to use that time to train?

Gaara was taken aback by the question, but quickly recovered and smiled, "Of course, we've already prepared a welcome feast for you. Please come in with us."

Thus, under the warm hospitality of Sunagakure, Goku indulged in a week of feasting and drinking, trying all the delicacies available in Sunagakure and exclaiming how satisfying it was.

His astonishing appetite shocked everyone in Sunagakure. Every day when he feasted, large crowds of villagers would gather around him, watching with curiosity. They knew he was not only an unprecedentedly large eater, but also someone who had recently saved the entire ninja world.

The great hero—Sun Wukong!

Upon learning the latter, everyone cheered spontaneously. Some Sand Ninja who had participated in that battle even came to Goku with tears in their eyes, thanking him for his help in that battle, which allowed him to return home safely and see his family again.

In response, Wukong simply scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Haha, it's nothing, you don't need to be so polite."

Some are happy, some are sad.

The Sand Ninja in charge of keeping the accounts was sighing.

When Goku was invited to visit them, all expenses were naturally covered by Sunagakure.

They were confident that there would be no problem, since Sunagakure was poor but not so poor that it couldn't support three people (including Naruto and Kakashi).

But they didn't expect that Wukong could eat so much, each meal was equivalent to the food of one or two hundred people.

If it's just ordinary food, it's not a big deal. Although the quantity is large, the unit price is cheap, so even if you add it all up, the cost isn't much.

The problem is that in order to ensure Goku could eat to his heart's content, the ingredients that Sunagakure brought out this time were all top-notch, including many rare and expensive items that not many people in the village could afford normally. But Goku ate a huge pile of them, like a small mountain. Who could possibly resist that?

As the numbers on the bill skyrocketed day by day, the Sand Ninja who kept the accounts was trembling with fear and his heart was breaking.

If this continues, their entire village will starve!

Fortunately, perhaps hearing his inner lament, after a week of feasting and eating every edible dish, Wukong was satisfied and decided to set off for his next destination.

Gaara led the group in seeing them off, telling Goku to visit them often when he had time, and then watched Goku and his group depart.

Thus, their journey through Sunagakure came to an end, and Goku and his companions headed to their second destination, Iwagakure.

"Hahaha! Little friend Wukong, you've arrived!"

Onoki, along with Kurotsuchi, Kotsuchi, and others, personally went to the village entrance to greet Goku and his group, warmly welcoming them inside.

Here, Goku received the same top-level treatment as in Sunagakure, staying in the best place and eating the best food.

While Iwagakure's financial resources weren't exactly easy to cover Goku's expenses, they were more than capable, unlike Sunagakure which looked worried.

According to normal circumstances, Goku will stay here for about a week, at most no more than half a month, and after enjoying the delicious food, he will leave and head to Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.

But an unexpected situation occurred: Goku discovered a particularly interesting move and decided to learn it.

"Young friend Wukong, do you really want to learn this ninjutsu? But you don't have chakra, and your Ki Sihanouka doesn't have the earth attribute."

On the training field, Onoki looked at the intact chakra test strip in his hand and said with some distress.

In the morning, after enjoying a lavish breakfast, Wukong prepared to find a place to exercise and digest his food.

Led by his guide, Heitu, he arrived at a training ground.

After a simple and unpretentious bodyweight training session, he decided to find a heavy object to increase the intensity of his training, so he found a huge rock.

But after trying it, he felt the weight was unsatisfactory and wanted to find another one.

But to his surprise, Heitu stopped him. He gently placed his palm on the boulder, which greatly increased its weight.

This action greatly surprised Wukong, so he asked Heitu how he did it.

Kurotsuchi didn't hide anything from him, chuckling as she said it was Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique, and told him that this technique could increase the weight of both people and objects.

"Wow! There's such a move? Can you use it on me?" A thought suddenly popped into Wukong's mind, and he asked eagerly.

Heitu readily agreed, since it was only a short-term increase in weight and wouldn't have any impact on his health.

And so... Wukong immediately experienced the feeling of his body becoming heavier. This feeling was very strange. Although it was a bit like wearing heavy loads, the pressure it brought was far greater than what it felt like to wear heavy loads.

He tried the training and found the results to be surprisingly good. In this unrestrained state, he could completely let go and train in all aspects, and the improvement he gained far exceeded that of wearing weights.

So after thinking for only a second, he decided to learn this move so that he could increase the weight on himself in the future and achieve a state where he could practice anytime, anywhere.

After learning from Kurotsuchi that Goku wanted to learn the Weighted Rock Technique, Onoki came over in person.

Although the technique of weighting rocks is a closely guarded secret of Iwagakure and cannot be learned by outsiders, Onoki decided to teach it to Goku after a short period of consideration.

Not for any other reason than that Goku had just saved the entire ninja world not long ago.

However, there is a problem: the technique of weighted rock requires the learner to have earth-style chakra, but Goku not only does not have chakra, but his own energy does not have earth-style. How can he learn it?

"I must learn it, Grandpa Onoki."

Goku's eyes were filled with determination. This was a move that could greatly help him improve his strength in the future, so he wanted to learn it no matter what.

"Alright, then I'll have Kurotsuchi tell you the principles and methods of its activation. The rest is up to you." Onoki nodded in agreement.

So Wukong began his research journey, spending every day, except for times of feasting and rest, immersed in learning and researching the art of increasing rock weight.

This was indeed a difficult task for him, so in the blink of an eye, he had been in Iwagakure for a month.

Naruto and Kakashi were already getting tired of staying here. They had explored every corner of Iwagakure and were incredibly bored. However, since their trip was centered around Goku, they had no choice but to stay as well.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Onoki received a letter from Raikage A, the gist of which was:

You old codger! Where's Wukong?! Why is Wukong still with you after all this time?! Did you use some kind of trick to lure Wukong to your village?!

According to the normal plan, even if Goku had been traveling around, he should have arrived in their Land of Lightning by now. However, the spies sent out by Ai did not find any trace of Goku in the Land of Lightning.

Ai sent his spies to investigate along the possible routes Goku might take, and they discovered something astonishing: Goku had not yet left the Land of Earth, and might even still be in Iwagakure!

Therefore, Ai sent this letter in a fierce tone, questioning whether Onoki had ulterior motives.

After all, with Wukong's innocent and carefree nature, if he could stay in their territory for a longer period of time, he would develop a deeper bond with them, making it easier to ask him for help in the future.

As for whether Wukong will return to his world later, they are not concerned about that at the moment. They should just focus on the present and not worry too much about how things will develop in the future.

Upon seeing this letter, Onoki was so angry that his beard stood on end. "Am I that kind of person?!"

Okay, he is.

The problem is, he didn't do anything wrong this time. Wukong wanted to stay, and he stayed for much longer than he had anticipated.

Even if he tried to get Wukong to stay longer, it wouldn't exceed a month at most. After all, staying too long would not only damage their reputation, but they also couldn't afford it.

Although they were much wealthier than Sunagakure, they still couldn't withstand a gluttonous beast like Goku.

The most obvious sign is that they have reduced the supply of those expensive and rare ingredients in the past month. They really can't afford it. If they continue to eat like that, Iwagakure will probably become as poor as Sunagakure.

Onoki covered his forehead and sighed deeply, realizing for the first time that a person's power was not only reflected in their fighting ability, but also in their appetite.

Another month passed, and Onoki felt that the Mizukage's interrogation letter was probably about to arrive.

On the training field, Goku finally mastered all the techniques and successfully used his ki to achieve the same effect as the Weighted Rock Technique.

"I did it!!!"

A joyful cheer suddenly rang out on the training ground, instantly startling Naruto, Kakashi, and Kurotsuchi, who were lying dozing under a tree not far away.

"What? What? What? What did you just say, Goku?" Naruto sat up abruptly and asked in astonishment.

Feeling his body become heavy, Goku grinned and looked up, replying, "I said I successfully learned that move!"

After three months of dedicated study, he finally took this step. Even the lack of prerequisites did not deter him, allowing him to discover a unique method of using ki to mimic earth-attribute chakra in order to enhance the effects of the Rock Technique.

"What?! Goku, you really succeeded?!"

Kurotsuchi was extremely shocked. From the beginning, she didn't think Goku could succeed. After all, he had no chakra and no earth-style energy. Trying to learn the Weighted Rock Technique was like a wingless human trying to learn to fly.

To everyone's surprise, Wukong actually succeeded! This is unbelievable!

"Yes, I really succeeded," Wukong replied with a grin.

After a two-second mental blank, Heitu scrambled to his feet and rushed to Wukong, saying, "Wukong, don't move."

Then, disregarding the difference between men and women, he hugged Wukong and tried to pick him up.

"It's so heavy!"

As soon as he exerted his strength, Kurotsuchi's expression changed, because Wukong was heavier than he had imagined, and could not possibly be the normal weight of a normal human being.

Since this happened, it means that Goku used the Weighted Rock Technique to increase his weight, and he really learned it!

Hei Tu released his grip, took two steps back, and looked dazed: "He actually... he actually learned it."

Naruto arrived beside him, no longer shocked, and grinned, clutching his head: "I told you, Goku would succeed! You lost your bet, hahaha!"

During the long, boring wait for Goku, Naruto and Kurotsuchi argued more than once about whether Goku could successfully learn the Weighted Rock Technique.

Regardless of any lack of prerequisites, Naruto was convinced that Goku could learn it, showing himself to be a die-hard Goku fan.

Kurotsuchi, however, spoke based on the actual circumstances, believing that it was absolutely impossible for Wukong to learn it.

After arguing repeatedly to no avail, the two finally made a bet, with Kakashi as the witness, betting on whether Goku could learn it or not.

It seems that Naruto has won.

Heitu gritted his teeth, unwilling to admit defeat, and coldly snorted, "That's right! I lost! Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

The two made a bet that whoever lost would have to do something for the other. Now that Kurotsuchi lost, it means she has to do something for Naruto.

"Hehe, what I want you to do is..." Naruto said with a smile, then suddenly pointed at Goku at the end.

"You're the one who taught Goku that Super Weight Rock Technique!"

He had already figured it out; he didn't need Black Soil to do anything for him. But during those three months, he had come to deeply appreciate Goku's dedication to the Weighted Rock Technique. Goku's diligent study made him feel that he had to do something to help Goku.

As luck would have it, during a casual conversation with Kurotsuchi, he learned that there was an even more powerful technique called the Super Weighted Rock Technique. He thought that if Goku learned the Weighted Rock Technique, he would definitely want to learn this ninjutsu as well.

Therefore, he finally decided that if he won the bet, he would let Kurotsuchi teach Goku this ninjutsu!

"What? Teach Goku the Super Weight Rock Technique?"

Kurotsuchi was clearly taken aback by Naruto's answer; she never expected that Naruto would ask her to do something like this.

She glanced at Wukong, who was also somewhat stunned, and her mind raced.

I've already taught him the Weighted Rock Technique, so teaching him the Super Weighted Rock Technique won't be a problem. Grandpa agreed so quickly last time, so he probably won't say anything this time either.

After making her decision, she took Goku to a place where Naruto and Kakashi couldn't see her, and then taught Goku the Super Weight Rock Technique.

This time, Goku quickly understood the principle of the Super Weight Rock Technique, and soon after, he successfully used it with his ki.

After all, the core principle of the Super Weighted Rock Technique and the Weighted Rock Technique is the same, only some other details have changed. Once you have learned the Weighted Rock Technique, it is not difficult to learn the Super Weighted Rock Technique.

"Thank you for teaching me this!"

Goku was very happy to have learned the Super Weight Rock Technique, because it meant he would have more room for training in the future.

He had tried the Weighted Rock Technique to its limit, and at most it could make him weigh ten times his own weight, which is the so-called ten times gravity.

He hadn't tested the limits of the Super Weight Rock Technique, but he knew it must be much heavier than ten times his own weight.

"No need to thank me, thank Naruto instead. He's the one who told me to do it." Kurotsuchi waved her hand, not wanting any credit.

Onoki was so surprised to learn that Goku had mastered the Weighted Rock Technique and the Super Weighted Rock Technique that he almost ripped off his own beard.

Like his granddaughter Heitu, he never believed that Wukong could learn it, but reality slapped him in the face.

In response, he couldn't help but sigh:

Are all the people in this other world such extraordinary talents? If so, how terrifying would this other world be?

Having learned the skills he wanted, Goku finally reached the point where he could leave Iwagakure.

With Onoki, Kurotsuchi, Yotsuchi, and others seeing them off, Goku, Naruto, and Kakashi left Iwagakure and officially embarked on their journey to the Land of Lightning.

It took them about half a month to travel across the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Iron, the Land of Sound, and other countries before finally arriving at Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, where they received the same warm welcome.

While enjoying a delicious meal in Kumogakure, the village held an arm-wrestling competition. Men and women with muscular builds and bronze skin flocked to participate, all clamoring to achieve the best results.

Goku, who was wandering around the village at the time, stumbled upon this grand event. Curious, he stopped to watch and witnessed Killer Bee's valiant advance, defeating many enemies along the way.

He finally fought his way to second place, where he will face off against Lei Ying, who has been the champion for many years.

Wukong suddenly became interested and, disregarding the occasion, jumped onto the stage and said he wanted to try it too.

Killer Bee looked surprised, and A was also somewhat astonished, but quickly agreed to Goku's request.

Although Goku is very strong, he has full confidence in his power!

However, Goku didn't fight him first; instead, he fought Killer first.

Killer Bee wasn't intimidated. After a series of rap-like hip-hop moments, he directly used the power of the Tailed Beasts to engage Goku in a unique arm-wrestling match.

As expected, Killer Bee lost and Goku won, earning cheers from countless viewers.

Following that, Ai finally appeared and began his final showdown with Goku.

It must be said that A, who has honed his physical body for many years, possesses superhuman strength, as evidenced by his ability to wrestle with and even defeat Killer Bee, who possesses the power of a tailed beast.

Therefore, he put a lot of pressure on Wukong.

However, it should be noted that at this point, A had already used all his power, unleashing his chakra to enhance his strength, while Goku had not yet used his ki, relying solely on his physical strength to persevere.

The two remained deadlocked for a very long time.

Only when the solid steel platform beneath him began to give way, making strange cracking sounds from within, did Goku suddenly unleash his ki, using absolute power to suppress Ai's wrist in a flash, thus securing victory.

Bang! !

When Ai's hand touched the table with a loud thud, the entire scene fell silent instantly.

Ai stared blankly at her hand that had been pressed down, seemingly unable to believe that she had lost.

The audience below the stage gaped in disbelief, unable to believe that their Raikage, the strongest man who had won the championship for many years, had actually lost to a boy in terms of strength.

After a long while, Ai finally came to his senses, accepted the reality, and sincerely praised Wukong, saying, "Lord Wukong, your power is the greatest in the world. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to you."

He always believed that his strength was the greatest in the world, but now that he has lost to Goku, then the title of greatest in the world naturally belongs to Goku.

"Haha, you flatter me." Wukong scratched his head and chuckled.

He was happy to win against Ai, but he also secretly thought that he should continue to strengthen his physical training so that he could defeat his opponent with just physical strength!

After spending half a month in Hidden Cloud Village, Goku, Naruto, and Kakashi finally left for their final destination: Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water.

Needless to say, Goku received the highest level of treatment during his time in Kirigakure, and Mei Terumi even considered finding him a suitable match.

But when she heard that Goku had rejected all the girls who came to her for blind dates, which drove them all away, Mei Terumi realized that her idea seemed to be a bit wrong.

This was the seventh day since arriving in Kirigakure.

After enjoying a lavish lunch feast, Wukong suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

"The second world adventure has ended. The host may choose to return to the main world or proceed to the next world."

Wukong was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that this was the voice that had allowed him to travel between different worlds.

"Return to the main world? Does that mean the place where I used to live with my grandfather, Bulma, Master Roshi, Krillin, and the others?" Goku asked.

But the voice in his mind didn't answer his question; it simply continued, "You have five minutes to choose. Please make your choice as soon as possible."

Wukong was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had only five minutes left to stay in this world.

Thinking this, Goku quickly pulled up his pants, ran out of the outhouse, and went to Naruto, Kakashi, and Chojuro who were waiting for him outside. He said to the first two, "Naruto, Kakashi, I'm leaving."

Naruto, Kakashi, and Chojuro were chatting and joking when they heard Goku's words. They were surprised and said, "Leave? You want to leave here? We've only been here for five days. There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Chojuro paused for a moment before adding, "Yes, Goku, there are still many delicious foods you haven't tried yet. Let's stay a little longer."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but wonder to himself, why was Wukong leaving so soon? Could it be that they hadn't treated him well?

But he felt that they had done an excellent job, definitely on par with Iwagakure and Kumogakure. The only special case was that Mei Terumi staged a matchmaking scene, which made both sides a little awkward, but at that time he didn't see Goku getting angry.

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Wukong shook his head and explained, "What I mean is, I'm leaving your world."

Upon hearing this, Naruto and Kakashi's eyes widened immediately, and Chojuro, after a moment of stunned silence, also reacted, his pupils gradually dilating.

What?! Wukong is leaving their world?!

"Wukong, why are you leaving so suddenly? Could you stay a little longer? I mean, a little longer?"

Naruto's mind was in a mess, and he was somewhat incoherent.

Having spent so much time together, he and Wukong had long since become good friends. Hearing that Wukong was about to leave, he was naturally reluctant to part with him and wanted Wukong to stay a little longer.

Kakashi remained silent, sighing inwardly, because he felt that since Goku was saying this to them at this moment, it meant that he was most likely leaving soon.

As he expected, Wukong shook his head and said, "There's no time left. That voice just told me there are only five minutes left, so I have to leave immediately."

Then, he smiled, his bright and innocent smile shining in everyone's eyes.

"Naruto, Kakashi, I'm so glad to have met you all. Please tell Jiraiya, Guy, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and Tsunade that I'm also very happy to have met them."

"Chōjūrō, thank you for feeding me so much delicious food these past few days."

Tears began to well up in Naruto's eyes, but they didn't fall.

He stepped forward, hugged Wukong tightly, and said, his voice choked with emotion, "Wukong, I'm so happy to have a friend like you, really! I'm so incredibly happy!"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Kakashi's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and solemnly said, "Don't worry, Goku, I will definitely relay your words to them."

Chojuro had already sent someone to fetch Mei Terumi, but he didn't know if she would make it in time. After hearing Goku's thanks, he smiled and said, "This is nothing at all, Goku. You saved the entire ninja world. This is what we should do."

Wukong just smiled brightly and didn't say anything more.

Naruto hugged him for a while, then let go and looked at Goku earnestly, saying, "Goku, you must take care."

"Mmm!" Wukong nodded emphatically, saying to the voice in his mind, "I want to return to the main world!"

As soon as the words fell, the voice seemed to receive a command and sounded again: "The host has chosen to return to the main world and will be teleported in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight..." The voice began the countdown.

Wukong found it slightly intriguing, but didn't pay much attention. Instead, he waved to the group in front of him and said, "Goodbye, everyone!"

Naruto, Kakashi, and Chojuro all waved and said, "Goodbye, Goku!"

"The countdown to May 4th is nearing its end."

Just then, Goku suddenly remembered something and shouted to Naruto and the others, "That's right! I might be able to come back and see you guys again someday!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the teleportation began, and Goku's figure vanished instantly from Naruto's and the others' sight.

Naruto suddenly opened his eyes wide.

What did Wukong just say? He might still come back?!

This is wonderful!!

In an instant, the sadness of parting was completely dispelled by this unexpected surprise, and Naruto felt a strong sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

Wukong, I'll be waiting for you! We'll definitely meet again!

Mei Terumi, who had just arrived, also heard Goku's last words, and a smile that made Hyakka pale in comparison appeared on her lips.

Will you come back? What will you look like when you return next time? I am looking forward to it.
