Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

Something's not right! You're all acting strangely!

Bulma gently covered her mouth.

B-timeline 18 saw A-timeline 18 looking shocked.

Immediately afterwards, a blush crept onto her pretty face.

"Hahaha~"

Number B18 was all smiles.

Suddenly I feel that this other side of myself is quite interesting.

Number A18 remained silent for a moment, then glared at himself.

"I refuse."

Suddenly, B18 waved his hand.

"I don't want to be assimilated."

"Besides, although we have the same physical structure, my stats are higher than yours."

"You will definitely become the dominant force in daily life."

"Besides, I prefer to be free."

Upon hearing this, A18 shook her head. "Really?"

"I think it won't be long before we meet again."

b18 rejected the assimilation request.

But she didn't show any resistance. At this point, she had just come out, so she must be someone who loves to have fun.

Naruto walked over.

"Yeah?"

"Alright, then you guys have some fun first."

"I believe that you will soon receive the same frequency signal as the 18th."

In other words, soon, Number 18 in timeline B will also be able to obtain Number 18's memories.

Naruto didn't need to explain again.

Cell's existence must be a source of worry for them.

However, it's not a big problem, at least for now.

Numbers 17 and 18 in time and space B want freedom, and no one can stop them.

However, 17 from timeline B agreed to the assimilation request.

Of course, he had one request: to compete for control with Number 17 from timeline A, and for outsiders not to interfere.

B17 found it quite interesting to compete with her counterpart from another timeline.

However, they don't want to leave right now.

The reason given was straightforward: they wanted to have some fun.

"Well then, do as you please, but don't try to kill them later."

After saying that, Naruto chuckled and shook his head.

He took Bulma and A18 and left.

Numbers 17 and 18 were standing in front of a rest cabin.

He glanced back at the three of them.

The next second, the three of them appeared as if they were phantoms, passing through layers of obstacles and disappearing into the mountainside.

"A very impressive man," Number 17 exclaimed.

"He's also very polite, and I'm quite interested in him," added number 18.

Upon hearing this, Number 17 gave her a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there a problem?" Number 18 realized he had misspoke.

Android 17 chuckled, "As expected, assimilation has already begun... Naruto just said that even if they are assimilated, they can still separate again."

"Who knows?" Number 18 shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

Number 17 glanced at her and knew that the twin sister was saying one thing and meaning another.

However, he did not continue the topic, but instead looked at the rest cabin marked with [16].

Lying inside is an android created by Dr. Groh based on his own son... or rather, a pure robot.

Unlike No. 17 and No. 18, these twins are modified at the cellular level.

"It seems like someone's already here," Number 18 reminded them.

"Whatever, we'll play later," Number 17 said nonchalantly.

Outside Dr. Gro's Institute.

Following Krillin's burst of energy.

The Z warriors arrived one after another.

Trunks looked around, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

Since their return, Naruto and his two companions have not appeared again.

Could it be that... they arrived a step ahead of us?

Our timeline's Number 18 should be able to handle... no, if there were a battle, even without any energy, there should still be some movement.

Unless... Naruto defeats them without making a sound.

Tien Shinhan's voice interrupted Trunks's thoughts.

"Is that Dr. Gro's research institute?"

"Well done! We'll destroy this place before he gets back!" Bick was good at giving compliments.

"Okay!" Tien Shinhan replied.

Then, the two of them simultaneously unleashed their power and charged directly towards the research institute.

"If you destroy the androids, I'm done with you two!"

Vegeta was taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he quickly chased after them.

But Bick's attack had already landed.

Rumble—!!!

In an instant, the door to Dr. Groh's research institute was blasted open.

Seeing the billowing smoke, Trunks gasped and quickly said:

"Don't do anything reckless, let's retreat for now... wait until Mr. Sun Wukong recovers... Also, I have something else..."

Before he could finish speaking, Vegeta turned around and snapped, "Shut up!"

Before long, the thick smoke dissipated.

The appearances of numbers 17 and 18 appeared before everyone.

Klin stared wide-eyed.

"That guy... is he number 17?"

"Trunks, it seems I was right."

Vegeta said without turning his head.

Trunks took a deep breath, looking at the two androids in front of him, feeling helpless and somewhat insecure.

Naruto once said that Androids 17 and 18 from this B-timeline are even more powerful than those from their own timeline.

But his personality wasn't that violent.

This is something to be thankful for.

"They are numbers 17 and 18... "

Klin blinked, staring intently at Number 18.

Noticing Krillin's unusual behavior, Piccolo reminded him:

Don't be fooled by their appearance.

Trunks paused for a moment, then his voice became somewhat hurried.

"good!"

"Those two...are incredibly powerful!"

After glancing at the group indifferently, Number 17 made a deduction in his mind.

Then I looked at number 18.

"If I remember correctly, Dr. Groh seemed to have taken Number 19 with him when he went out."

On the 18th, she lifted a strand of long hair from her temple and placed it behind her ear.

His voice was flat: "He's probably already dead outside."

"Dr. Groh is afraid of permanent androids like us, so... why doesn't he modify himself into a permanent one?"

Number 18 slightly pursed her lips.

At this time, number 18 exuded a youthful charm.

"If I remember correctly, this number 16 is also a permanent one."

Number 17 nodded slightly and replied, "That's right, it's permanent, but Dr. Gro is taking very good care of it."

"This guy is different from us."

Their conversation was not kept secret from the Z Fighters.

Trunks was trembling with fear.

"Number 16... I didn't even know Number 16 existed..."

"Has so much changed already?!"

Trunks broke out in a cold sweat.

If Naruto saw this, he would definitely facepalm in exasperation.

Alright, time to lower your wits.

They already knew roughly what had happened from his own words.

b. There is a deviation in spacetime. The appearance of the 19th and 20th is normal, but the appearance of the 16th is not.

They are easily startled.

"This looks interesting. Let's start it up and give it a try."
