No matter how powerful Uchiha Hiko was, once Frieza learned that someone on Earth could threaten him, he would never accept it. He would immediately prepare for battle, attack Earth, and come looking for trouble with Uchiha Hiko.
If Frieza and Uchiha Hiko fought, when two tigers battled, one was bound to be injured. Vegeta would undoubtedly be the one who benefited in the end.
Thinking of this, Vegeta grew somewhat excited and anxious, but he kept those emotions buried deep inside and did not reveal them.
Vegeta then walked toward the crater, entered the spaceship, and quickly shut the hatch. The ship activated, slowly rose into the air, then shot into the sky in a streak of light with a boom.
"Big Brother Uchiha Hiko, why did you just let that guy go? It's obvious he still has ulterior motives. If he goes back to that... Planet Frieza or whatever, we'll be in huge trouble!"
Watching the spaceship speed away and grow more distant, Naruto felt uneasy and hurriedly spoke.
"I have my own plans."
Uchiha Hiko remained calm, looking utterly unconcerned.
Naruto was utterly baffled by this, unable to figure out what Uchiha Hiko was up to.
The spaceship was extremely fast. Vegeta's ship had already vanished from Uchiha Hiko and Naruto's sight.
"Hmph, foolish Earthlings. I fooled you so easily. Once I return to Planet Frieza and tell Frieza what happened here, just wait for death!"
Inside the spaceship, Vegeta looked through the window at the azure planet below. A cruel smile crossed his face as he spoke coldly.
"That brat Luffy is in the cave ahead. Go meet up with him."
Uchiha Hiko pointed east as he spoke.
After saying that, Uchiha Hiko shot upward into the sky.
"Luffy? That brat is here too?"
