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

hum-

"What a pity."

Number 17's voice still carried a relaxed tone.

"That's a pity."

They haven't realized it yet.

Piccolo's powerful aura surged.

It has already attracted the attention of Cell from afar.

"This aura... is the aura of Piccolo and Kami fused together."

"There's no sign of life nearby... Heh, then there's only one possibility."

"Number 17! Number 18!"

"We've finally found you! Our chance has come!"

Cell was cunning; everything was exactly as he had predicted.

If you can't find yourself, Z Warriors, you'll definitely find Number 17 and Number 18.

All he needs to do is continuously absorb the life essence of humans and wait quietly.

Now, the opportunity has arrived!

"I'll be there soon... Heh heh, my power has already surpassed yours!"

......

Naruto, who had sensed everything, slowly stood up.

On the 18th, she opened her eyes and sat up with some reluctance.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto gently helped her put on her clothes.

"It's time to go."

"Where to?"

"C-spacetime".

"We'll go back to timeline A, where Cell is already lying in ambush."

"Hmm~"

Number 18 nodded slightly.

Smack—

"Naruto, what about us in the C-timeline... would you save us?"

Naruto shook his head.

"By the time I arrived, you in the C-timeline had already been absorbed by Cell... Perhaps, if nothing unexpected happens, I will try to save you."

Upon hearing this, number 18's lips curled up slightly.

"I see."

The two went outside and saw Bulma holding the design drawings for numbers 17 and 18 that Trunks had given them earlier.

"I found it."

"Oh?" Number 18 stepped forward and came to Bulma's side.

"Both you and Number 17 have emergency shut-off circuits inside your bodies."

"And, I've already finished the stopping device~"

Number 18 blinked. "This is indeed a weakness of both Number 17 and me... I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."

Bulma slightly raised her chin and then looked at Naruto.

"That's amazing!"

Naruto knew that this girl was asking for praise.

at the same time.

Number 17 is engaged in close-quarters combat with Bick.

The two exchanged punches and kicks, each strike landing squarely on the other.

Neither side dodged or flinched; they simply kept exchanging blows.

"I'll have Trunks come back with us after he leaves the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

"Afterwards, I will go to the mental time chamber in time dimension C, and the result will be the same."

After Naruto finished speaking, he helplessly pushed Brigitte away a little.

"I'm leaving. I'll be back in a while."

"Oh dear, why are you leaving so quickly again this time?"

"Mom, we're leaving."

......

the other side.

After the data was synchronized, B18 was stunned.

Has the stopping device been completed yet?!

She was stunned for a moment, and then a thought popped into her mind.

Will Naruto use that device?

She was somewhat afraid to think about it.

The voice of number A18 echoed in her mind.

"The bomb inside you has been defused, and as for the deactivation device... Naruto won't use it on us."

Upon hearing this, B18's pupils contracted slightly.

"When was it demolished?"

"Could it be... that time..."

For some reason, number b18's pretty face instantly flushed.

He shook his head and looked at the battle not far away.

Number 17 and Bick were evenly matched for a time, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Both of them were already injured.

However, Number 17's energy is limitless, and this situation will soon turn into Number 17 gaining the upper hand as time goes on.

Just as the two were facing off.

Bick noticed someone was watching him and turned around abruptly.

Then, on a hilltop not far away, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

Yes, it was Cell who had come.

He looked at numbers 17 and 18 in front of him, his eyes filled with undisguised longing.

In an instant, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Bick's forehead.

He opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief.

"Cell..."

When Number 17 saw Piccolo's terrified expression, he withdrew his attack stance and turned to look at him.

Number 18's delicate body trembled.

Cell?

The information came from A18.

They will be absorbed...

This has happened, so the value must be higher than theirs.

"I was so focused on fighting that I didn't even notice him approaching... Damn it!" Piccolo was filled with regret.

Number 17 asked, puzzled, "Who is this strange guy?"

Bick looked at number 17 and was shocked.

"You don't know?!"

"They don't know about Cell?!"

"Hehehe~" Suddenly, Cell let out a strange laugh.

"The memorable day has finally arrived."

"Because No. 17 and No. 18 will merge with me to become the complete form."

Suddenly, Sharu noticed number 16.

"who is he?"

"The Red Ribbon Army insignia on its chest... it's probably one of the androids created by Dr. Groh."

"It might just be an older model; we can ignore it."

whoosh-

The next instant, Cell appeared in front of Piccolo and Android 17.

"Drink it—!!!"

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding air began to distort.

Piccolo stared wide-eyed at the aura surrounding Cell.

Those are the countless souls lost on Earth!

Soon, Cell was surrounded by a large golden aura.

Super Saiyan?!

Cell walked away step by step.

As he passed the stunned Bick, he turned back and asked calmly:

"What are you planning to do?"

"If you want to stop me, then bring it on."

"I never expected you to become this strong... Just how much life essence did you absorb... how many humans have died?!" Piccolo roared as he turned around.

Meanwhile, on Master Roshi's island, Chi-Chi was angrily berating the three of them.

The three of them then woke up.

If Bick loses, then everything is over.

They've already sensed Cell's presence, why are they still here?

Thinking of this, the three of them quickly flew towards Cell's enormous aura.

Over there, Cell's absorber tail swayed slightly.

"Number 17!"

"Number 18!"

"Run!"

"He intends to kill you all and then absorb your life essence!"

Bick suddenly spoke up.

Number 17, of course, didn't care.

However, the next second, Cell appeared in front of him.

Android 17 was terrified and barely managed to dodge Cell's tail stab.

However, he was quickly pinned to the ground by Cell, whose sharp tail tip was aimed at Android 17's chest.

Number 17 still hasn't reacted.

whoosh-

boom--! ! !

Of course, Bick couldn't just stand by and watch all of this happen.

He kicked Sharu hard in the face.

"Damn it!" Number 17 wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Piccolo simply recounted everything about Cell.

"Are you kidding me!"

"How could we possibly be absorbed by you?!"

"Run! Number 17!!"

Suddenly, number 16, who had been calm all along, shouted.

His expression was extremely serious. "The enemy's fighting strength is formidable!"

"We absolutely cannot let him reach his complete form!!!"

"His goal is no longer to kill Sun Wukong!"

"Instead, destroy the entire universe!"
