Perfect Four-Tails Jinchuriki: Toji

"I'll wait until you can understand me. Before that, there's something I want to give you, Son Gokū."

"This was something I prepared for you long before coming here."

"So what?"

"This story was specially prepared for you."

"You can make up stories too?" Son Gokū immediately grew curious. "Let's hear it."

"The story is called Journey to the West."
