Training Restrictions Lifted, Planet Namek's Crisis Arrives!

Mount Paozu.

Tonight, the Son household was destined to be sleepless.

Son Goku and Son Gohan's return brought color back into this home.

Although Chi-Chi had accumulated much resentment and pain over the past year, and had a thousand things she wanted to say while pointing at Son Goku's nose and berating him, when she truly saw the two of them standing safely before her, she merely smiled and said, "Welcome home."

There were no unnecessary words, yet Son Gohan could truly feel what home was.

It was a feeling difficult to describe with words.

It meant completely relaxing, as though he no longer needed to think about so many things.

Then the three of them went straight back into the little house.

In midair, the three Saiyans and one Namekian simply stared at each other wide-eyed.

They had never cared much for family bonds, so naturally, they did not understand this reunion. They even found it somewhat boring.

Unfortunately, Son Gohan's fist was the biggest now.

So even if the three Saiyans were dissatisfied, they did not dare say anything.

Piccolo floated nearby, coldly watching Vegeta and the others as though guarding against any move they might make at any moment.

Inside the Son household.

Chi-Chi prepared the food and listened as the two of them recounted what had happened. Only then did she gradually recover.

She had never worried much about Goku.

Because in her heart, Goku was the strongest. No matter what happened, Goku could solve it easily!

Her husband might not earn money, but he was still the strongest man in the world!

But she had been extremely worried about Gohan.

Thinking about how Goku had made Gohan follow Piccolo for a year and suffer who knew how much torment in the wilderness, the anger in her heart began to gather.

Then she heard that Gohan intended to go to another planet to fight some Galactic Emperor.

Chi-Chi's anger completely erupted.

Fire seemed to burn in her slightly weathered eyes. Bracing both hands against the table, she seemed to grow much taller. "Goku, how much longer are you going to interfere with Gohan's life? Gohan isn't like you. He doesn't need to learn martial arts. He should study properly and become a scholar who contributes to society in the future!"

Seeing his mother reveal that familiar side of herself, Son Gohan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly been worried that waiting for them had made his mother depressed. Fortunately, his mother had the same pure personality as his father.

They had only been reunited for a short while, yet she had already unleashed a level of suppression beyond that of a Saiyan.

Son Goku immediately lost some of his spirit and said softly, "But Gohan himself likes martial arts too. And his talent surpasses mine. He should be able to achieve even greater things..."

Chi-Chi had been about to explode, but when she heard Goku say that Gohan liked martial arts, a suspicious look appeared in her eyes.

Because she remembered Gohan saying that he wanted to become a scholar.

When Son Gohan saw his mother look over, he nodded as well. "Mom, I think I should spend some time training too. If I had trained before, Dad might not have had to die, and our family wouldn't have been separated for so long..."

Chi-Chi wanted to refute him, but seeing the sincerity in her son's eyes, she suddenly thought of the year she had spent waiting.

If things were really as Gohan said, perhaps that year could have been very different...

But then she quickly shook her head again.

What Gohan said was true, but she still did not feel at ease with him learning martial arts. She had witnessed Goku's battles with her own eyes. Those were battles fought with their lives on the line.

Even someone as strong as Goku had had his limbs broken in battle, his body covered in wounds, and in the end, had even been left with only a headbutt as a means of attack!

She did not want Gohan to fight others to the death like that.

With Goku standing at the forefront, Gohan should have had a better life!

Thinking of this, she immediately explained the dangers to Son Gohan. "Gohan, it's wonderful that you can think of such things. You're such a filial child. But fighting isn't that simple. Take your father, for example. Every battle leaves him covered in injuries, and he could even die at any time!"

"I understand what you're thinking, Mom. But some battles can't be avoided. If I don't go, an even greater disaster might happen."

Chi-Chi's eyes widened as she prepared to suppress him forcefully.

Son Gohan glanced at Goku beside him again and said, "Mom, don't forget that Dad has already died once. If he really dies again, he won't be able to come back to life."

When Chi-Chi heard that Goku could never be revived again, panic immediately flashed through her eyes.

Clearly, she still cared deeply about Goku.

"Goku is always like this. Who cares..."

Although she cared greatly about Goku, after waiting for a year, she could not help harboring some resentment. And now, for Gohan's education, she spoke with particular stubbornness.

Son Gohan could tell that his mother was obviously being stubborn, so he said, "Mom, I know you worry about me. But I also want to live happily with Mom and Dad. For that, training is necessary!"

"Gohan..."

Hearing Gohan's thoughts, Chi-Chi's eyes were clearly filled with emotion.

Son Goku's eyes, too, were noticeably gentle as he looked at Gohan.

At that moment, Son Gohan spoke again. "We're a family. We should have our hearts set in the same direction. Mom wants me to become a scholar, to have a job and status in the future. I also want Dad and Mom to stay together and live happily forever. Dad... also wants our family to be whole and well!"

When Chi-Chi heard Gohan say that, she looked at Goku. "Hmph, this guy only knows how to train. He can't even go find a proper job. Everything our family has spent these past few years was..."

Son Gohan quickly said, "Dad is a martial artist, the strongest person in the world. He's protected this world several times already—that's incredible enough. Besides, our family has money now."

"?"

"Dad, you should give that thing to Mom!"

Son Goku immediately understood. He handed the card Bulma had given him to Chi-Chi and explained where it had come from.

Then, he took out the capsule containing the phone and gave it to Chi-Chi as well.

As Chi-Chi listened to everything Goku said, surprise filled her eyes. "What did you say? That smartphone was developed by Gohan and Bulma together?"

Son Gohan nodded. "I wanted to improve our family's situation too."

"My Gohan really is smart. You made so much money so easily!"

"Mom, then about training..."

When Chi-Chi heard him bring up training again, her expression turned somewhat serious. "Gohan, have you really made up your mind? To fight alongside your father?"

"Yeah, I have!"

"Then I have no objections!"

In the end, Chi-Chi agreed. Though she did not want Gohan to walk down that path, if it was what Gohan wanted, she was willing to respect it.

"Awesome!"

When Son Goku and Son Gohan heard Chi-Chi finally relent, they clapped their hands together.

"But..."

Chi-Chi turned a stern gaze toward Goku again. "Goku, as his father, you have to ensure Gohan's safety. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you absolutely, absolutely cannot let Gohan fight!"

"Yeah, of course!"

Son Goku clearly cherished his child as well.

Seeing that he had finally persuaded his mother, Son Gohan let out a sigh of relief. He had truly prepared a great deal for this.

If the phone and Spirit Message had not worked, he had been ready to use other methods.

Fortunately, his mother was not as stubborn as he had imagined.

After the family had thoroughly talked everything through, Gohan taught his father and mother how to use their phones and helped each of them register for Spirit Message. Communication would be much more convenient in the future.

Then, they discovered that some footage from the previous battle had been posted online.

Countless netizens were discussing it, though most assumed the videos had been edited and merely treated them as a joke.

The older-generation martial artists who knew Flight had all once been hunted by Piccolo's subordinates.

Even after being revived, they had kept an extremely low profile. Now, upon seeing someone in the video who resembled Piccolo, they did not dare say a single word online. They even wished they could hide away in the deepest mountains and forests.

With no tiger in the mountains, Mr. Satan naturally became the top dog.

He loudly condemned the practice of faking things online.

At the same time, he announced that he was searching for Son Gohan, claiming that he wanted to take him as his disciple and teach him the true essence of martial arts.

Naturally, the Son family paid him no mind. Someone of that level could be knocked out with a single punch even by Chi-Chi.

For some time afterward, Bulma focused on researching a tool capable of transmitting information across the stars.

Son Gohan trained alongside Son Goku, while Piccolo sparred with them nearby. All three were advancing toward becoming the strongest.

Namek.

A massive spaceship had appeared in outer space.

Frieza, accompanied by Dodoria and Zarbon, looked down at the planet below.

"I heard the Namekians possess unusual abilities, yet this planet appears barely developed. They truly seem to be a peaceful race."

Frieza's voice remained as polite as ever.

"Yes, Lord Frieza. This planet truly has great development potential."

"Prepare to land. Let us see whether those Namekians are willing to cooperate with us."

"Yes!"

"Oh, right. The Ginyu Force is nearly at Earth by now, isn't it?"

"At their speed, they should arrive very soon!"

"Good..."
