I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 366 Meeting with the Grand Elder

After saying a few words of farewell to the village elders, Uchiha Hikaru used his Flying Technique to fly towards the northern part of the planet, following behind Nail alongside Esdeath.

During the conversation, she tried to strike up a few words with Neru, but received very little response.

This Namekian has a rather cold personality and doesn't like interacting with outsiders. In the original work, he rejected Krillin and Gohan's visit, so it's not surprising that he's behaving this way now.

And so, the three of them flew for more than an hour.

After passing through vast forests, mountains, rivers, and wilderness, a cluster of buildings finally appeared in front of us. They looked like large, horned insects, a unique architectural style of the Namek people.

"arrive."

Nail landed and stopped in front of one of the large houses. He said a few words to the Namek guarding the door before turning to Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath: "You two, come in with me. The Elder is waiting for you inside... Keep your voices down when you speak, so as not to disturb the Elder's rest."

"it is good."

踏入房间。

As the light dimmed, Uchiha Hikaru saw the Namekian elder, whose figure appeared somewhat bulky, sitting in the seat in front of him.

The latter seemed to be dozing with his eyes closed. Nail didn't call him, so Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath stood silently by and waited. Fortunately, after a while, the elder opened his eyes—or rather, he only made the "opening" motion, but his eyelids seemed heavy and didn't open completely.

"Are you the two children from Earth?"

"...Yes. My name is Uchiha Hikaru, and this is my friend Esdeath. Greetings, Elder-senpai."

Uchiha Hikaru's tone was very polite.

Although he looks ordinary, like just a fat old man on his deathbed, this man is a living fossil of Namek, who survived the Namekian cataclysm hundreds of years ago when the young Celestial escaped to Earth in his spaceship. Theoretically, all the Namekians on this planet today are descended from him through parthenogenesis.

When facing such a senior and influential figure, one naturally has to show some respect.

After a brief silence, the Grand Elder spoke again: "I heard from Mulin that you want to borrow the Dragon Balls?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded and spoke again: "The thing is..."

This time, Hikaru Uchiha mentioned more than before in the village, even touching on the concept of other worlds—if he wanted to borrow the Dragon Balls from Namek and get a pat on the head from the Elder, he couldn't possibly leave out all this information. Given that the Elder seemed to have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, Hikaru Uchiha was telling the truth, only omitting some details.

As for the wish he wanted to make, Uchiha Hikaru briefly mentioned it.

She had originally considered placing two of her wishes on Kikyo and Minato Namikaze to help them be resurrected. Now that Minato's clone is already in the process of being developed, she shouldn't need to make any more wishes; she only needs to make one for Kikyo.

As for the remaining two...

She was going to think about it some more.

After all, these wishes require the Grand Elder's permission. If the wishes are too selfish or greedy, they might worsen the other person's impression of you. That would be a loss.

"...So that's how it is."

After listening, the Grand Elder nodded slightly: "Then, where are those friends from different worlds you mentioned now?"

"Um...can I use this place for a moment?"

After obtaining permission from the Grand Elder.

Uchiha Hikaru called out in the chat group, and then Bulma first packaged herself up and uploaded herself. The rest, including Kikyo, Erii, Minato Namikaze, Tanjiro, and others, all used Bulma as an anchor point and applied to enter the Dragon Ball world one after another. Naruto and Nezuko, who weren't in the group, also appeared in the room one after another.

To onlookers, they appeared as streaks of white light in humanoid shapes, which then transformed into real people.

This scene surprised Neru, who was standing guard nearby.

—The Dragon Ball world does have the ability to teleport, but it's all done through "ki." However, just now, he didn't sense any fluctuations in "ki" when Kikyo and the others appeared one after another. Moreover, several of these people didn't have any signs of "ki" on them; they looked like ordinary people. This was a bit puzzling.

However, it was only a little bit of surprise.

For Nair, Kikyo and the others were far too weak in combat. Only Uchiha Hikaru, Esdeath, and Yamato were worth being wary of. The others posed no threat to the Elder.

the other side.

The elder moved his head slightly, though not by much, and without even opening his eyes, but it seemed as if he had looked over everyone, including Uchiha Hikaru:

"Are these the friends you were talking about? They certainly seem to be kind children... And this one, is she the priestess you mentioned wanting to use the Dragon Balls to help repair her soul?"

Kikyo, whose identity was called out, was slightly taken aback, and then bowed to the Grand Elder.

Kikyo is probably the purest and most honest person in the chat group. She has no ill intentions whatsoever, except perhaps a little selfishness towards Inuyasha, which was almost completely eliminated after her death and rebirth. Only Tanjiro can rival her in this respect.

Next is Yotsuya Miko.

As for Erii, although she is considered pure, she has killed and seen blood after all. I wonder how the Namekians would view such behavior.

"...I see. You really are a kind and good child."

The elder, seemingly having confirmed Kikyo's character, spoke again: "No one has ever made a wish like 'repairing the soul' before, but it should be possible. Nail, take them to all the villages and collect the seven Dragon Balls to help them fulfill their wish."

"this……"

Neru seemed somewhat reluctant, but under the Grand Elder's orders, he had no choice but to obey: "Grand Elder, let Kuchi handle this matter. I'll stay by your side to protect you."

—Kuchi, I guess that's the name of another Namekian, who, like Nail, is a combat type, but not as strong as him, probably only around one or two thousand.

The elder did not object, but simply smiled and looked at Uchiha Hikaru and the others again.

"I can sense that most of you possess considerable potential. Would you like me to help you unlock it?"
