Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 43 Naru issues a challenge!

Last time, after Dodoria was dealt with, Frieza's other lieutenant, Zarbon, was sent to pursue him. Upon encountering Vegeta, Zarbon learned of Dodoria's death and engaged Vegeta in battle. Even after transforming, he was still no match for Vegeta. While considering escape, Zarbon discovered Goten's whereabouts and mistakenly chose to fight Goten, ultimately meeting his demise...

Meanwhile, Frieza, concerned that his two generals had not yet returned, summoned the Ginyu Force. At the same time, Goten and the others decided to head to the Namekian Grand Elder's location...

During the flight, Vegeta couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Goten again, "Hey, Goten, you didn't just go to that so-called elder's place to find shelter for these two kids, did you? You must have some other purpose... right?"

Tenten panicked upon hearing this, but quickly calmed down. After all, Goten was the one who saved her from the terrifying Frieza, and he was also a child like her, so he couldn't possibly have any bad intentions. Therefore, Tenten ignored Vegeta's next words and focused on leading the way.

However, the other Namekian child didn't share that trust, and asked Goten, "He's right, isn't he? You really are like those people, doing this for the Dragon Balls..."

Goten joked, "Wishes? I don't need them. Your Dragon Balls can't meet my requirements anyway. Besides, wishing to become stronger is just cheating. My pride won't allow me to do that. But if you have any leftover wishes, you can make them yourselves."

Vegeta fell silent upon hearing this, inwardly thinking (Naive brat, fine, I'll just make a wish beforehand and let him experience the harshness of the world...)

Meanwhile, Goku and Piccolo, having finished their day's training, finally discovered that their spaceship had deviated from its course. After much effort, they reset the target, and Goku was the first to complain: "Piccolo, you're so careless! You didn't even notice the spaceship went off track..."

Of course, Piccolo couldn't stand it and immediately retorted, "Isn't it you who's been bothering me to train all day long, and you're actually shirking your responsibility!"

Goku chuckled awkwardly, then said excitedly, "It's because King Kai said there's a really strong guy on Namek that I got excited. I probably can't beat that guy without training, right?"

Piccolo scoffed, "Hmph... Who cares about Frieza or anything else? How dare he run rampant in my homeland! As a Namekian, I'll fight him to the death, even if it costs me my life..."

Wukong also said, "Hmm... then I'll let you go first, but only this once!"

Piccolo stopped talking after hearing this, and the two began to rest, preparing for their training the next day...

Back with Goten, after flying for an unknown amount of time, catching fish six times along the way, they finally arrived at the location of the Namekian Grand Elder. Standing at the entrance, Goten exclaimed, "We're finally here. I didn't expect it to take so long. What a surprise!"

Vegeta said, "It's because those two brats are too slow, otherwise the two of us could have covered this distance in a day!"

Tenten and her companions remained silent upon hearing this, while Goten, too lazy to deal with Vegeta's little temper, began knocking on the door. After a series of knocks, the door opened, and an adult Namekian emerged. After scanning the room, he said to Tenten and another Namekian child, "Tenten, take Loma inside. The Grand Elder has not given any orders to let them in."

Tenten wanted to explain, but seeing the gaze of the adult Namekian, she had no choice but to go in with Loma first. After entering the room, Tenten and Loma bowed to the Elder, and Tenten immediately pleaded for Goten, "Elder, I can guarantee that the child outside is not an evil person. Please let him in."

The elder slowly spoke, “Tian Tian, ​​that guy has a mysterious aura that I don’t know about. To be honest, my prophecies cannot see his future, which makes me uneasy. Moreover, since I sensed his presence, all my previous prophecies have begun to fail. Therefore, I must determine whether he truly possesses what I acknowledge. You all stay here for now. In a while, Neru will judge whether they are qualified to enter here according to my instructions.”

Tian Tian quieted down upon hearing this, while Loma quickly hid behind the Grand Elder, seeking refuge...

Once outside, Vegeta found himself turned away and instantly became furious, demanding of Goten, "Damn it! You brought me here just to be turned away? Are you kidding me? I don't have time to dawdle, get out of my way!" He then tried to forcefully break through Nail's defenses...

Seeing this, Goten flashed to Vegeta's side and delivered an elbow strike to Vegeta's lower back, causing him to kneel in pain. Goten then clasped his hands and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, he acted impulsively. Don't worry about him. Since those two kids are alright, I'll be going now. Please make sure to protect them..." After saying that, he said to Vegeta, "Then let's go, Vegeta. We need to get moving quickly. Let's try our best to retrieve the Dragon Balls before Frieza and the others find the last one."

As Goten prepared to leave with Vegeta, Nail called out, "Wait a minute. I want to spar with you. Only after we've fought can we determine if you're qualified to enter the Elder's room."

When Goten heard Nail's request for a battle, his original plan to take Vegeta to ambush Frieza's spaceship was interrupted. Helpless, he had no choice but to deal with Nail's request in a simple way, so he said, "Then let's find a spacious place. You don't want that Grand Elder inside to get caught in the crossfire, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Nail looked at Vegeta. Vegeta, feeling Nail's gaze, said disdainfully, "I'll go too. Now you can rest assured."

The three of them left the Elder's place and came to a spacious area. Nail and Goten stood facing each other, ready for a great battle to begin...

Meanwhile, Frieza was still patiently waiting for the Ginyu Force to arrive, his desire for immortality burning fiercely as he gazed at the five Dragon Balls. However, Ginyu sent a message: "Lord Frieza, I apologize for keeping you waiting a little longer. We've encountered two troublesome individuals and are currently engaged in combat with them. Don't worry, we'll take care of them soon..." —"Still in the mood for a phone call? Take this—" Explosive Magic Wave!"

After that, there was no further movement. Seeing this, Frieza could no longer sit still. Losing his patience, Frieza decided to go out and wander around, trying his luck, while leaving the Dragon Balls on the spaceship to his subordinates to look after...

(Meanwhile, the battle between the Ginyu Force and the suddenly encountered enemy is now uncertain, and what will happen to Frieza, who has inexplicably begun to act? How will Goten and Nail's fight go? The survival battle on Namek is becoming increasingly unpredictable...)
