Emergency Contact, the Birth of Saiyan Prince Vegeta!

Konoha, Valley of the End.

Ato's Scouter suddenly emitted a piercing beep.

This kind of beep was the emergency contact method unique to the Lower-Class Saiyan Destruction Corps.

Such emergency contact was generally activated only when a major incident had occurred, or when the Saiyans were mobilizing collectively to destroy a planet as quickly as possible.

Since becoming a lower-class warrior in the Lower-Class Saiyan Destruction Corps, this was the first time Ato had received such an emergency contact.

Ato lightly tapped his Scouter, and the emergency communication was swiftly connected.

'Emergency contact. Lower-class warrior Ato, cease your current destruction mission and return to Planet Vegeta immediately to pay respects to the newly born Saiyan prince, His Highness Vegeta!!'

Hearing the other party's unquestionable tone of command, Ato merely replied coldly, "Understood."

He then ended the communication and fell into thought.

"Vegeta had finally been born?"

In Age 732, Saiyan Prince Vegeta was born.

As Saiyan royalty, Vegeta's status was undoubtedly supreme.

Even though he had just been born, all Saiyan warriors were required to travel to Planet Vegeta and pay their respects.

On one hand, it was to demonstrate the majesty of Saiyan royalty.

On the other hand, the newborn Vegeta truly was a rare genius infant.

Vegeta possessed a terrifying power level of 1,000 the moment he was born!

According to tests conducted with professional equipment, his talent and potential also far surpassed those of the current King Vegeta.

One had to know that King Vegeta's power level had only barely reached 15,000, merely 5,000 higher than Bardock, the most gifted lower-class warrior.

Yet according to the tests, if Vegeta was properly nurtured, his power level could easily exceed 18,000, or even go higher.

Such a genius was enough for King Vegeta to focus on cultivating him. He had even recalled all Saiyans so they could pledge loyalty to the newborn Vegeta.

"Looks like I need to make a trip back to Planet Vegeta. While I'm there to pay respects to the little Saiyan prince, I can move all my things from Planet Vegeta over here."

Ato smiled faintly.

He had actually wanted to return for a long time.

Planet Vegeta was destined to be destroyed by Frieza.

Before its destruction, Ato needed to transport as many of Planet Vegeta's resources as possible to the Ninja World.

Those resources would become the foundation for him to keep raising his power level.

Besides, his 100x Gravity Chamber was still on Planet Vegeta.

Of course Ato needed to move such a training cheat back as soon as possible.

Aside from transporting Planet Vegeta's resources,

Ato also wanted to test the abilities he had gained in the Ninja World!

First was the Flying Thunder God Technique he had learned from Minato Namikaze.

"Shadow Clone Technique—Release."

Ato casually formed the Seal of Reconciliation.

Meanwhile, at Training Ground 3 in Konoha,

Minato Namikaze stared at Ato's shadow clone with an astonished expression.

"Lord Ato, your talent for space-time ninjutsu surpasses mine."

A few hours earlier, after finishing his Hokage duties, Minato Namikaze had come here to personally teach Ato the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although Flying Thunder God was known as an S-rank space-time ninjutsu,

Ato had already mastered it proficiently in just a few hours.

Minato Namikaze was utterly amazed by Ato's talent for space-time techniques.

The so-called Flying Thunder God Technique merely required one to leave a spatial marker imbued with one's chakra somewhere. One could then use that marker for space-time movement.

Since chakra dissipated after leaving the body,

it also had to be used in conjunction with Sealing Jutsu.

This formed the unique Cursed Flying Thunder God Marker used by Minato Namikaze.

Unless Minato Namikaze actively removed it, this Flying Thunder God Mark would remain indefinitely.

Even before learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, Ato had already mastered the complete Sealing Jutsu system of the Uzumaki Clan.

Sealing Jutsu came naturally to Ato.

As a result, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique took half the effort for twice the result.

In only a few hours, Ato had fully mastered the Flying Thunder God used by Minato Namikaze.

At that moment, Ato stepped into the training ground and lightly pointed with his right hand. A black Flying Thunder God Mark instantly appeared on a large tree several hundred meters away.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, who needed to make contact to leave a Flying Thunder God Mark,

Ato could release Flying Thunder God Marks from afar as though firing Energy Blasts.

With Ato's current power level, if he wished, he could even launch a Flying Thunder God Mark directly onto the moon.

After leaving a Flying Thunder God Mark on a large tree, Ato willed it, and his entire body instantly vanished from where he stood.

Whoosh!

Almost the instant Ato disappeared, he appeared atop the tree bearing his Flying Thunder God Mark. Standing on its thick trunk, he looked down over Konoha below.

Ato extended his index finger again, sending out one black Flying Thunder God Mark after another.

Then, across an area spanning several hundred kilometers, Ato completely transformed into a black flash.

He appeared simultaneously in every location within those several hundred kilometers.

It was as if countless figures of Ato had appeared throughout the area covered by Flying Thunder God Marks.

"So this is space-time ninjutsu? Instant Transmission feels absolutely incredible." Ato's face was full of excitement as his figure continuously leaped through space across the surrounding region.

Though the Flying Thunder God Technique was called an S-rank space-time ninjutsu,

the chakra it consumed was surprisingly little.

Ato could perform high-intensity Flying Thunder God teleportation in battle.

Poof.

Just as Ato was testing his Flying Thunder God, his body turned into smoke and dispersed.

The Flying Thunder God Technique learned by the shadow clone also appeared in Ato's mind.

After Sealing Jutsu and Sensory Jutsu,

Ato had learned another space-time ninjutsu: the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"So this is the Flying Thunder God Technique? It might not be as convenient as Son Goku's Instant Transmission, but in the current timeline, it counts as the only form of spatial movement."

Ato was extremely satisfied with the space-time ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In Age 732, an era when power levels were still generally within normal bounds,

Flying Thunder God, a space-time ninjutsu like Instant Transmission, was undoubtedly the only spatial movement ability.

"It was time to return to Planet Vegeta."

Ato curled his index finger. With a flicker of black light, he instantly crossed space and appeared directly in the Forest of Death.

Looking at the spherical spaceship before him, now completely renewed,

Ato casually left a Flying Thunder God Mark on the spaceship.

Poof.

Amid a cloud of smoke, one of Ato's shadow clones appeared before him.

This shadow clone would return to Planet Vegeta in Ato's place.

Traveling to Planet Vegeta by spaceship would take at least three months.

Ato was not about to waste his time on that.

With that time, wouldn't it be better to train in the Ninja World?

Besides, there were still plenty of good things in the Ninja World waiting for him.

The Martial Arts Tournament in a month was still waiting for him to hold it.

"Well then, goodbye, original body."

Seated inside the spaceship, Ato's shadow clone coolly nodded to Ato, then skillfully started the ship.

Boom!

The spherical spaceship shot into the sky, trailing a white tail as it vanished from the Ninja World.

Ato looked up at the departing spaceship, his gaze flickering.

He was filled with anticipation for returning to Planet Vegeta!
