Chapter 385 The Last Spirit Bomb
【I've already raised my hand!】10+ people think it's great. Kakarot looks up at the comments in the sky, thinking that the all-knowing gods can see him, and happily waves his hand towards the sky.
"Hey! You guys really know a lot about us!" he said loudly, as if greeting a group of unseen friends.
Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and calmly shattered his illusion: "Unless you actively send barrages through that mirror, those gods simply can't see you."
"Really?" Wukong withdrew his hand, scratched his head in confusion, his movements tinged with naivety. "I don't think I have anything in particular to say, so let's just forget about it."
He genuinely had nothing to say, but he was completely unaware that on the other side of the screen, readers in the real world were already overflowing with excitement. Their words, their shock at the sudden appearance of Kakarot in the Naruto world, had already formed a surging ocean of text.

A seventh post read, "We've been tricked by capital." (75924 people liked this). The comments section was like a tidal wave, the dense text almost covering the entire screen.
Even with the ninjas' eyesight, they could only barely catch a few fleeting glimpses of them in an instant.
These messages from the "gods" are incredibly varied —
In short, there are exclamations of pure excitement, inquiries about other characters out of curiosity, nostalgic reflections on youth filled with the marks of time, and of course, stubborn doubts and disbelief.
The sheer volume of information was so immense it was almost terrifying, that Kakarot displayed an expression of shock as if he had witnessed Bulma and Vegeta kissing right in front of him.
"Whoa—!!" His eyes widened in disbelief. "This...this number is outrageous! I thought the so-called gods, like Lord Beerus and the others, were just a handful at most!"
Standing to the side, Tobirama Senju calmly added, "As mentioned in the previous comments, the world inhabited by these all-knowing gods may have a population exceeding ten billion."
"Hundreds of billions?! Are you sure it's billions?! Not tens of thousands?!" Wukong's tone changed. He frantically counted on his fingers, trying to grasp the concept of this number, only to find that he didn't know how many zeros were in a hundred million.
If Kakarot's question could be seen by the all-knowing gods through the live chat, everyone would surely be unable to resist retorting: "One million? Who do you think you are? We could fill your sky with just one comment each!"
Among these comments, one in particular happened to make Kakarot freeze in shock—
【Wukong! On March 1st, did you feel like you suddenly lost something?】100,000+ people think this is great for March 1st?
He frowned, straining to recall. Fighting, training, eating, sleeping—
When suddenly asked if he had lost anything that day, Wukong couldn't think of an answer. Nothing special seemed to have happened that day, let alone "lost" anything.
Strangely, his gaze seemed to be held captive by something invisible, involuntarily following the line of text that was gradually receding into the distance, until it completely disappeared into the end of the barrage of comments. A corner of his heart seemed to be gently touched, leaving him feeling empty.
Then, a comment stood out from the rapidly scrolling text—someone posted a picture.
It was a portrait drawn in black, white, and gray. Wukong recognized it at a glance; the figure in the painting, head bowed and brows furrowed, suppressing his grief, was himself. In the portrait, he seemed to be enduring immense sorrow, his head bowed deeply. The scattered dragon balls, the faint halo symbolizing the dead, and the outline of angel wings together created a somber and solemn scene.
However, what truly made Kakarot's pupils contract and his breath catch in his throat were the images that popped up one after another. He saw Frieza, the evil emperor who once made the universe tremble, now holding a bouquet of pure white lilies, his eyes closed and head bowed.
He also saw Cell, the perfect android born for killing, holding a bouquet of flowers, his expression one of unprecedented tranquility and sorrow.
And his unbelievable—
Zamasu—the fanatic who proclaimed "Project Zero" and considered himself a god while regarding all living beings as worthless—was now kneeling on one knee, solemnly holding white and yellow chrysanthemums in his hands, as if paying the deepest tribute to some supreme being.
"What...what's going on?" Wukong muttered to himself, instinctively taking a half-step back, his face filled with shock and bewilderment. Why were these enemies, with whom he had fought to the death, simultaneously displaying such incongruous expressions of mourning?
A strong sense of unease, like an icy tide, instantly washed over his heart.
As more and more images flooded the sky above the ninja world in the barrage of comments.
Goku saw Vegeta, that arrogant guy whose pride could fill the entire universe, now dressed in a black suit with a plain white flower pinned to his chest, standing silently with his head bowed—
This scene shocked Goku even more than seeing Frieza cry!
Could it be for Bulma and Trunks?
But if Bulma and Trunks died, couldn't we just revive them with the Dragon Balls? Besides, if they were the two of them, there's no reason why Frieza, Cell, and Zamasu would go to mourn them!
In the midst of the shock, the all-knowing gods' "bandwagon effect" kicked in, and images that should not belong to the ninja world were posted in the sky above the ninja world!
Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, himself, Gohan, Chi-Chi, Master Roshi—even Lord Beerus, Whis, and the supreme Grand Priest and Zeno all appeared on screen.
Everyone was observing a moment of silence, and many had clear tear tracks on their faces.
"Who—has he passed away?" Wukong murmured to himself, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.
His eyes scanned the images anxiously, desperately trying to find a familiar, absent figure.
However, to his horror, he found nothing.
Everyone he knew was present in the mourning procession.
Even his long-deceased grandfather, Son Gohan, floated in mid-air as a spirit, his expression sorrowful.
"What on earth is going on?!" Wukong's breathing became rapid, golden flames erupted uncontrollably from his body, and tiny arcs of electricity crackled all around him. "Who are we all seeing off?!"
Although the ninjas in the distance did not understand the concept of "ki," they were still so shocked by the energy that was far stronger than Kaguya's that they were thrown into a state of panic.
Seeing that the golden aura erupting from Kakarot was becoming increasingly violent, and the chaotic energy shockwaves were distorting the surrounding air, Tobirama Senju immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Calm down!"
He was really afraid that if this guy lost control, he would wipe the entire Hidden Leaf Village off the map in the next second.
But at this moment, Kakarot was clearly not listening to anything. His eyes were fixed on the mourning scenes flashing across the sky, and he was immersed in a grief that he himself could not understand.
It was as if his grandfather, Master Wu, and other important elders had died in front of him.
"Tsk—" Upon seeing this, Tobirama immediately reached out and placed his hand on Tobirama's shoulder.
With a flash of light from the Flying Thunder God Technique, the two found themselves in a desolate place far from Konoha. There were only exposed rocks and howling cold winds, and not a single person in sight.
The biting wind blew directly at Kakarot like a knife, slightly cooling his burning skin and chaotic thoughts. The golden aura around him flickered a few times and then retreated.
However, just as he calmed down, a familiar, suffocating pain suddenly gripped his heart!
The feeling was exactly like when I had a viral heart attack on the eve of facing the androids.
The excruciating pain was like countless cold needles, spreading from my chest to every part of my body. Even breathing became incredibly heavy, as if a knife was repeatedly stabbing into my chest cavity, twisting and turning fiercely inside my heart.

[Indeed, very few fighting manga have such coherent paneling; even children wouldn't find it difficult to understand.] 63715 people liked this. [This Japanese manga artist was deeply mourned by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a regular press conference.] 64937 people liked this.

[The serialization system of Japanese weekly manga is essentially consuming the author's life.] 87412 people liked this. [The wildly popular manga Dr. Slump was drawn by Toriyama without any paneling sketches; Dragon Ball only required a few sketches, yet his paneling is something later manga artists have never been able to emulate.] 67295 people liked this. [Kishimoto and Togashi's paneling is also impressive, and they have their own unique styles.] 97830 people found this very helpful. [Anyway, it doesn't resemble Ikemoto at all; it's just copying here and there. Boruto has turned into Dragon Ball and Bleach, DNA...]
[A collection of...] 10+ people think it's great! [Sigh—after the author's death, both the Dragon Ball Super anime and manga stopped updating. I wonder when they'll continue the story.] 95719 people think it's great! [Although everyone says Dragon Ball Super is bad, it's still better than Boruto, at least there's something to watch.] 87412 people think it's great! [It's said that Shueisha, Capsule Corp., and Toei Animation are arguing fiercely over copyright ownership.] 59813 people think it's great! [Why not just pass it on to Sasuke? Let Sasuke continue drawing!] 68254 people think it's great! "Sasuke?!!"
The Konoha ninjas from various timelines all looked at the bewildered Uchiha Sasuke.
【Sasuke?? What does this have to do with Sasuke?!】75260 people liked this. 【Akira Toriyama's son is named Toriyama Sasuke.】41219 people liked this. 【That scared me to death! I thought it was Uchiha Sasuke.】10+ people liked this. "We were startled too!" Naruto during the Fourth Shinobi World War II patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Kakarot was never good at dealing with this kind of complex information before the Uchiha clan massacre, and now that his mind was in turmoil, it was even more difficult for him to sift out useful information from the massive amount of comments.
Fortunately, Tobirama Senju, who was standing beside him, quickly understood the deeper meaning of the comments. He turned to Goku and said in a calm but heavy tone, "It seems that the creator of your world has passed away. This means that your future story may be stagnant for a long time, or perhaps—you will have to write your own future."
"Determine our own future?" A rare look of bewilderment flashed in Wukong's eyes.
Although it was fleeting, it did not escape Tobirama's keen observation.
The former Second Hokage calmly comforted the powerful figure before him who could easily defeat Kaguya: "Knowing your destiny is not necessarily a blessing, but since you know it now, why not put it aside for the time being and continue on your way as always?"
Considering the various problems that arose after *Boruto* deviated from the original work, Tobirama couldn't help but add a reminder: "Without the protection of the original author, the so-called 'protagonist halo' may weaken or even disappear. An overly naive and simple approach to life won't always guarantee success. If you find yourself unable to navigate things as smoothly as before, then you should be wary."

At this moment, Goku looked at the tributes and mourning messages streaking across the sky. His eyes, which always burned with fighting spirit, now reflected a rare, serene light.
He raised his hand and touched his heart, where it was beating strongly.
I never imagined that my adventure with my companions would become a light illuminating the lives of others.
He never cared about the world's praise; otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly given the credit for saving the world to Mr. Satan. Fame, adoration, status, and money were far less important to him than a good meal or a satisfying battle.
But watching these "gods" from another world, speaking in the simplest and most honest language about how "Dragon Ball saved my childhood" and "Goku was there for me through the hardest times," a sense of unfamiliarity...
A surge of intense emotion quietly welled up in my heart.
The feeling wasn't like the excitement of battle, nor the satisfaction of a full meal; it was something warm, heavy pressing on his chest, leaving him speechless for a moment. This temperature seemed similar to something, yet not quite the same.
What does it resemble?
[Oops, wrong channel! This is the Naruto livestream.] 75260 people liked this. [Please, everyone. One last time, give me some of your energy!!] 10+ people liked this. "By the way, it feels a lot like the Spirit Bomb."
"Please, everyone!"
"Just one last time! Just one last time, give me your energy!"
Wukong's voice suddenly appeared on the bullet screen, indicating that someone had paid a high price to recommend video content during the non-VCR sharing segment.
The little tree, which had originally planned to stretch and get ready to jump up and move on to the next topic, obediently sat back down for the sake of the money.
The scene begins with Goku raising his hands high, his figure gradually zooming out as he gathers his energy for the Spirit Bomb.
After watching the barrage of comments for over a month, the ninja world finally saw what the all-knowing gods looked like, and the world they inhabited.
They weren't the terrifying beings beyond human comprehension I had imagined; they were just ordinary people whose style of dress was slightly different from theirs.
Watching Kakarot transform into a Super Saiyan on a giant screen, asking the world to share his energy with him so he can use it to defeat the enemy and protect everyone's world.
Unlike those Earthlings of the Seventh Universe who only slowly raise their hands when they need to obey Satan's commands.
When the gods gathered in front of the screen heard Goku say he needed to borrow everyone's energy, they all raised their hands, watching the animated montage of Goku's growth through adventures and battles, and sang along to the background music.
【"DANDAN心魅かれ<"】(I'm gradually drawn to you)
【「その灗い笑面に」】(Your dazzling smile)
【「「野てない深〔やみ〕から飞び出う」】(Break through the endless darkness together)
In the comments section—
Say one sentence to prove you've watched Dragon Ball!
Therefore, the Saiyans became extinct.
【Kamehameha—!!】
Wow, here comes Vegeta! (Vegeta profile picture.jpg)
【Bulma, you can touch me!】
Farewell, Bulma, Trunks, and — Kakarot.
[Exercise well, study well, play well, eat well, and rest well—this is the training motto of the Turtle Hermit School.]
The same move cannot be used twice against a Saiyan.
[Upstairs, are you sure this wasn't said to the Uchiha Sharingan?]
"Come forth, Shenron! Grant my wish!"
【Doragonpolo!】
[What a load of rubbish!]
[A piece of trash with a combat power of only five.]
[Hahaha, this "weakest fighter" comment has really gone viral!]
