Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Chapter 858 Gro's Request

After fulfilling this wish, Shenron couldn't wait to disappear, transforming into seven Dragon Balls that flew into the sky.

"Uncle Musashi, hurry up and grab that one, or Goku will be worried about me."

Bulma, who had just had her wish granted, was still a little dazed. When she realized that the Dragon Ball was about to disappear, she quickly shouted.

Suzumiya Musashi shook his head helplessly. Without making any move, he simply reached out and grabbed the dragon ball.

Dr. Groh, standing to the side, was utterly astonished.

No, is this even possible?

Wouldn't that mean you could fulfill as many wishes as you want?

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't let all seven Dragon Balls fly away; instead, he would catch them all, thus granting another wish.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he noticed that the Dragon Ball seemed to have turned into stone.

"Stop looking. After a wish is granted, the Dragon Balls need to accumulate energy again before they can grant another wish."

Seeing Dr. Gro's gaze, Suzumiya Musashi knew what the old man was thinking, so she explained to him to prevent him from trying to use this method again.

"Take it, you can return it to Wukong later."

Suzumiya Musashi casually tossed the Dragon Ball over.

Bulma caught it steadily and smiled sweetly, "I feel like I've become a lot smarter now. The power of the dragon is truly amazing!"

Is it possible that this is just a placebo effect?

After all, no matter how powerful the dragon is, it cannot turn a person into an exceptionally intelligent genius in a short period of time.

It will probably take some time before we can see any changes.

However, seeing her like this, Suzumiya Musashi ultimately didn't say those words.

Let's not discourage this girl yet.

...

Bulma has gone back, and she seems quite happy. She probably wants to see if she has become smarter.

Dr. Groh then approached somewhat embarrassedly.

Judging from his hesitant manner, you can tell he definitely wants to discuss something.

“You’re not like that at all. Just say what’s on your mind. I’m not incapable of considering it. Tell me what you want to do.”

Suzumiya Musashi was amused by this scene, as she rarely saw Dr. Groh acting like this.

This guy considered himself a scientist and always acted very serious, like a cold-faced old man.

It's really rare to see him like this.

"Ahem, well, Mr. Musashi, I think we can have a good talk about our employment relationship. You see, I don't get any compensation for doing things for you."

"Stop, you stop right now."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Suzumiya Musashi interrupted, "Let's make this clear first, there's no employer-employee relationship between us. You work for me, and I pay you. Look at what you eat, use, and wear now—aren't they all provided by me?"

You must not fall into the other person's linguistic traps. Once you fall into their rhythm, you will definitely be led by the nose.

Moreover, it's ridiculous that this guy said right away that there would be no reward. What about the funds I provided to him?

Dr. Groh was stunned. Goodness, it seems he didn't fall for it.

It's okay, he has other tricks up his sleeve.

"I'm already quite old, and I've never had any wishes. You know I've always wanted to find the Dragon Balls. How about you make a condition? If you let me make just one wish, I'll agree to do whatever you want."

This guy started throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue; I don't know where he learned that from.

Carrick, who was observing from the shadows, was also a little curious, but after hearing about the dragon, he immediately understood.

So this guy wanted the Dragon Balls to grant his wish.

That's right, he did know about the existence of the Dragon Balls, but he was captured before he could even look for them.

"Come on, stop trying to play the victim here. But I might consider your request, depending on your performance. If you do well enough, I might give you a chance."

Suzumiya Musashi looked at this guy speechlessly. He was so old, what was the point of making such a show? He wasn't a beautiful girl, just a decrepit old man.

However, considering that the other party had indeed worked diligently for him over the years, he reluctantly agreed to give him a chance.

"It's a deal then, no take-backs allowed."

Dr. Gro immediately composed himself, wiped his face, and quietly returned to the laboratory.

This acting is so good he could be an Oscar winner.

Suzumiya Musashi gave in. It seems she had given in too quickly; it was all her fault for being too kind.

"So this is how you get such an opportunity? But I don't think I did anything for him. Will he grant my request?"

Carrick watched this scene and said he had learned something, but he was still a little hesitant. After all, he was a real prisoner of war and hadn't done anything wrong.

"But this guy should be easy to fool, right? If I can fool him, I can become the ruler of the world. Then, even if he goes back on his word, it won't matter."

Carrick secretly calculated his chances of success. If he succeeded, the rewards would be enormous, since he could make a wish to the dragon to become the master of the world.

But this guy underestimated one thing: his little schemes were impossible to hide.

It seems like Suzumiya Musashi isn't so easily fooled.

...

"Bick, why are you leaving so soon? Stay here a few more days."

Sun Wukong tried to persuade Piccolo to stay, as Piccolo was about to leave.

The two sparred many times over the past few days, but each time Sun Wukong emerged victorious.

Even if he wanted to hold back, it wouldn't work, because the difference in combat power was simply too great.

Even if you stand still, your defenses won't break.

This made Piccolo even more dejected and strengthened his resolve to leave. Wasn't the reason he left Master Roshi's House to become stronger?

If we stay here, let alone become stronger.

Who could stand being humiliated in different ways every day?

Even if it wasn't Goku's intention, Piccolo himself felt extremely humiliated.

Even with all his might, he couldn't even break through the opponent's skin.

"Do you want to become stronger? Then come to me."

Just as Bick was still doubting himself, an unexpected voice rang in his ears.
