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

"it is good."

Number 18 responded.

"Based on the data, we're a bit stronger," Number 18 shrugged.

Afterwards, I walked around the rest cabin number 16.

The size of number 16 is roughly the combined height of the siblings.

Even taller.

"Well then, I'll go first."

"Seriously, remember to save one for me," Number 18 said somewhat disgruntled.

Android 17 chuckled softly, then turned around and looked at the Z Fighters.

He beckoned with his finger.

whoosh-

The next instant, Krillin hid behind Tien Shinhan.

Gohan shuddered, his body stiffening. Could he have been chosen?

Just as Gohan was terrified, Piccolo stepped forward and blocked Gohan's body.

"Why...why me..." It's normal for Krillin to be scared.

Seeing this, number 17 remained unfazed.

Krillin took a deep breath. Gohan was still here; he was Krillin's uncle, after all. He couldn't be looked down upon like this!

Then, Klin, trembling, stepped forward.

Looking down at bald Krillin, Number 17 suddenly felt bored.

He didn't say anything, just quietly watched the others.

"How could we possibly create another human?!"

Trunks instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.

call out--

Immediately afterwards, without warning, a wave of energy was released.

Golden light illuminated Dr. Gro's research institute.

Rumble—!!!

The explosion occurred instantly.

Everyone quickly flew out.

After a brief escape, Krillin said, somewhat exasperated, "You should have said something before you started!"

At this moment, Klin was covered in a layer of dust and looked extremely disheveled.

"Fool!"

Vegeta was also a little annoyed.

"You're just doing pointless things!"

"Something boring...?!"

Trunks was also getting angry.

"Do you even realize that in my timeline, I'm the only one left?!"

"Saiyan or Super Saiyan, it doesn't matter!"

"They're all dead!"

"If it weren't for Gohan... I'd be dead by now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Vegeta squinted, looking into the smoke and dust.

"Look, over there."

Numbers 17 and 18 stood unharmed atop the mountain, cradling Number 16's rest pod in their hands.

Trunks' pupils suddenly contracted.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Vegeta's tone softened slightly.

"This level of skill is just a waste of energy."

That's why people say, "Kid, you're shallow."

However, it's impossible to get Vegeta to admit his mistake.

He could even silently curse his parallel universe self as a piece of trash.

"Hurry up and open it," Number 17 urged.

creak-

Number 18 also felt it was about time.

She deliberately slowed down, just to see how anxious these Z Fighters would get.

"Hmm... It's open. Are we going to add another android?!" Krillin's voice trembled slightly.

The rest cabin door opened, and a figure slowly stood up.

If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for the Ginyu Force's butt god of war.

"That number 16... looks pretty strong!"

As expected of Krillin, he still manages to predict the worst when it really matters.

Trunks frowned as well. "I don't know, I've never seen him before!"

Meanwhile, in the Western Capital.

"Oops~"

"Bulma, you've been gone for three years... Huh?"

"Is this your boyfriend?"

Bulma's mother came out.

There was absolutely no trace of time on that face.

She was holding a cup of coffee.

After walking around Naruto once, she naturally put her arm around Naruto's arm.

"What a handsome and strong boyfriend!"

"Mother!"

Bulma sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"Okay, okay, what else can Mom do?"

"By the way, boyfriend, what's your name?"

Naruto's eye twitched.

This mother-in-law... seems a bit dangerous.

That cheap old father-in-law, could he already be wearing... no, very cleanly.

Naruto touched his nose, thinking to himself, "It must be because I absorbed too much of the violent energy."

He rarely used this kind of perspective ability before.

"Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto took a deep breath and replied softly.

Bulma tugged at her mother helplessly.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, she shook her head.

"Never mind, never mind."

"Naruto, I'm going to the lab to get some equipment and data. It won't take long."

Suddenly, Bulma's beautiful eyes turned, and she jogged over to Number 18's side.

Number 18's pretty face was initially cold and aloof.

Suddenly, a blush crept onto her pretty face.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Bulma patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, it'll definitely work."

"Once your data is synchronized, Number 18 from this timeline will definitely come knocking... At that time, you two might become..."

Bulma chuckled, a rare occurrence for her.

Then he pulled No. 18, who did not resist, to her bedroom.

"Let me tell you, I suspect that once your data is assimilated, you two will even be able to communicate in terms of touch and such."

"When we train with Naruto... cough cough, Android 18 in this timeline will definitely sense it. She definitely won't be able to resist the temptation to increase her strength... after all, that's Naruto~"

As she spoke, Bulma herself became a little embarrassed, and a blush crept onto her pretty face, making her look even more beautiful.

"Aren't you two trying to fight for dominance?"

"If you equip yourself with the 'new gear'... will you be able to beat her?"

"But..."

"What's wrong with 'can't' or 'can't'?"

Bulma interrupted her directly.

After searching for a while, they took out a cow-print coat.

"Ahem... these are things I bought casually while shopping..."

"Anyway, it's something you don't need to worry about."

Number 18 glanced at her, then his gaze fell on the cow-themed battle suit.

My mind went blank for a moment.

......

Outside, Naruto sat on a bench, not daring to move.

This mother-in-law really has no idea what she's doing.

Thankfully, it's not the period of rampage yet.

However, this does fit Naruto's impression.

I never expected that Bulma, this young mother, would be so clean.

Yes, there's a deeper meaning as well as a literal one.

That makes sense, Bulma's father is already in his eighties.

Bulma's mother hugged Naruto's arm.

Naruto avoided looking down.

Are you thirsty?

"Have some tea... By the way, isn't Bulma a very well-behaved child?"

Seeing her expectant eyes, Naruto gave a gentle smile and nodded slightly.

"That's good. That child has always had a bad temper. I'll leave him in your care from now on, my dear boyfriend."

What a strange name...

The next second, Naruto was stunned.

But the other party thought it was normal.

Just then, the gate not far away opened automatically.

"Yo~"

"Who is this?"

Bulma's father, Dr. Brives.

Beside her was someone whom we'll call Mrs. Briefs.

"Really... Bulma, that girl, has been gone for three years... This young man must be Bulma's boyfriend?"

Dr. Briffs was quite easygoing.

He sat opposite him, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that his wife and Naruto were acting strangely.

"Speaking of which, Tais hasn't been back for a long time either."
