The restorative effects of Senzu Beans could be called conceptual god-tier.
Whether it was trash with a power level of five, a Super Saiyan with a power level over a hundred million, or even a Super Saiyan God.
Swallowing a single Senzu Bean restored them to full condition instantly.
Aside from ordinary illnesses, which they could not cure, they could heal any injury and replenish any expenditure caused by battle or training.
With such a wondrous treasure, it was one thing that Tien Shinhan had not known Yajirobe would waste Senzu Beans in the original storyline.
Now that he knew in advance, how could he let Yajirobe squander so many Senzu Beans?
"You want to take most of the stock? There aren't many occasions to use Senzu Beans normally, and they can be grown again.
Very well. If you want to take them, go ahead."
Master Korin had never placed much importance on these Senzu Beans, which he could grow again himself.
Otherwise, he would not have let Yajirobe eat them as meals in the original storyline.
Now that someone as meritorious as Tien Shinhan wanted Senzu Beans, Master Korin naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Senzu Beans? I heard eating one Senzu Bean can keep you full for ten days. Is that rumor true? I want to try Senzu Beans too!"
Yajirobe had heard rumors about Senzu Beans before.
He had not climbed Korin Tower with Chiaotzu this time to train.
Besides wanting to meet the legendary Master Korin, one of his main goals was the Senzu Beans.
After all, on Earth, if he wanted to eat his fill, he usually had to hunt around himself.
From time to time, he would go hungry because he could not find any prey.
But if the rumored effects of Senzu Beans were real, wouldn't staying at Korin Tower mean he could easily get his fill?
"You're a friend of Tien Shinhan and Goku, aren't you? I don't really mind if you want to eat Senzu Beans.
But I've already agreed to Tien Shinhan's request, so if you want some, you can only eat what's left after Tien Shinhan takes his share."
Master Korin had not known Yajirobe before, but he possessed the ability to read memories and soon learned that he was also one of those who had fought King Piccolo.
Although Yajirobe's slash had missed at the time, he had at least had the intention and was not a bad person.
So Master Korin casually agreed to his request.
"Hehe, thanks, Master Korin!"
Yajirobe chuckled, then scurried over to Tien Shinhan.
"Tien Shinhan, could you leave a bit more of the Senzu Bean stock for me later?
You know I don't have much money, and I eat a lot. Hunting for food isn't easy."
Yajirobe wore a fawning smile, hoping Tien Shinhan would leave him more of the Senzu Bean stock.
"Don't worry. You'll definitely get a chance to try a Senzu Bean."
Tien Shinhan sneered inwardly.
Sure enough, if he had not spoken up first, these Senzu Beans would probably have been squandered by Yajirobe again.
But now...
A short while later, Tien Shinhan and the others, along with Yajirobe, followed Master Korin to the storeroom in the main hall where the Senzu Beans were kept.
Inside the storage compartment were two large wooden barrels, each nearly a meter tall.
Usually, barrels like these held wine or something similar, but the two large wooden barrels before them were filled to the brim with Senzu Beans.
"Good grief!
This huge barrel of Senzu Beans must have at least five thousand beans, if not ten thousand, right?"
Tien Shinhan stared at the Senzu Bean stock in astonishment.
Tien Shinhan had seen cheat-like treasures such as Senzu Beans before, but he had never seen cheat-tier treasures sold wholesale.
Yet in the original Dragon Ball storyline, Yajirobe had squandered this enormous stock of Senzu Beans until only a few could be scraped together each time.
That showed just how wasteful this guy had been.
At that thought, Tien Shinhan wanted nothing more than to backhand Yajirobe across the face twice to vent his anger!
But the Yajirobe before him had not actually made that mistake yet.
Besides, with him here this time, Yajirobe would have no chance to waste so many Senzu Beans.
Tien Shinhan took the Hoi-Poi Capsule from inside his clothes and put both large wooden barrels into it.
"Huh? L-leave me a barrel, Tien Shinhan!"
Seeing Tien Shinhan put away the entire stock of Senzu Beans, Yajirobe immediately shouted anxiously.
Leave a barrel?
Smack!
This time, Tien Shinhan truly could not hold back.
There are only two barrels of Senzu Beans in total, and you want me to leave you one?
Leave you a barrel just so you can eat them as meals?
How do you have the nerve to say that!
A heavy slap landed on Yajirobe's plump face without warning.
The fat on his face instantly trembled and twisted under the tremendous force, and Tien Shinhan's slap sent his entire body flying.
Tien Shinhan's power level had now surpassed 300. Yajirobe, who could still have put up a fight against him at the end of the World Martial Arts Tournament, could not even withstand a single heavy slap now.
By the time he landed after being slapped away, Yajirobe was already barely breathing, clearly gravely injured.
Beyond his severe injuries, his mind was utterly bewildered. He could not understand why Tien Shinhan had suddenly struck him so hard.
"Tien Shinhan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Tien, you..."
It was not just Yajirobe, who had been hit, who was bewildered. Goku and Chiaotzu also looked at Tien Shinhan in astonishment.
They could not understand it either. Although they were not particularly close to Yajirobe, they had fought alongside him for a little while.
Even if Tien Shinhan disliked him, surely that did not warrant striking him so hard?
Under Goku and Chiaotzu's astonished gazes, Tien Shinhan quickly took a Senzu Bean out of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
"Haha, it's nothing. Didn't Yajirobe say he wanted to try a Senzu Bean?
Senzu Beans heal injuries and restore stamina. To let him experience their effects more deeply.
I gave him a few injuries and used up some of his stamina. Otherwise, how could we demonstrate the effects of a Senzu Bean?"
As Tien Shinhan cheerfully explained why he had struck, he tossed the Senzu Bean he had taken out to Yajirobe, who was propping himself halfway up with one hand while covering the handprint on his face with the other.
Yajirobe's eyes filled with grievance at those words.
When he had said he wanted to try Senzu Beans, he had meant eating them as meals, not using them to heal injuries.
But he had already taken the slap, and he was no match for Tien Shinhan now if he tried to fight back, so he could only eat the Senzu Bean to heal himself.
At least once his injuries healed, the burning sensation from that slap would disappear.
Under the gazes of Tien Shinhan and the others, Yajirobe ate the Senzu Bean Tien Shinhan had given him.
Soon, the handprint on his face vanished, and the searing pain from that slap disappeared as well.
Yet while Senzu Beans could heal physical injuries and replenish stamina, they could do nothing to repair psychological trauma.
No one but Yajirobe himself knew how much psychological damage Tien Shinhan's sudden heavy slap had inflicted on him.
Yajirobe! Behaving himself now.jpg
After this profound lesson from Tien Shinhan, Yajirobe immediately abandoned his original idea of eating Senzu Beans as meals.
Senzu Beans were meant to instantly heal injuries and restore stamina. They must not be squandered as meals!
