Chapter 52 — Practice: Super Saiyan Mode!
A no-man's land behind the mountains of Konoha.
Might Guy stood there, brimming with excitement, holding a freshly printed manga in his hands.
The title—"Super Saiyan."
It was the latest comic drawn by Su Li, made especially for Guy over the past few days. With Yakumo's artistic assistance, the manga had been completed in record time.
Su Li had noticed Yakumo acting strangely ever since he'd brought Temari back that day. She'd been nervous and distracted, though she brushed off his concern when he asked. Su Li, being tactful, didn't pry further.
"According to the agent, this comic will be different from the previous ones."
Guy couldn't wait any longer. He opened the manga eagerly and began to read.
The content was surprisingly simple—almost too simple.
It was just Son Goku explaining to thin air how to awaken and train into the legendary Super Saiyan mode.
It didn't take Guy long to understand.
To become a Super Saiyan, one needed immense combat power and a pure, steady heart that could cultivate special S-cells within the body. Under the stimulus of extreme rage, those S-cells would surge explosively, allowing a Saiyan to transform.
Every Saiyan possessed S-cells, though in varying amounts, and they could be passed down through genetics.
The key to nurturing S-cells was a calm and stable mind—something most battle-hungry Saiyans struggled with.
But for Might Guy… that was the easy part.
If he could pull it off, his combat power would multiply by fiftyfold!
That was on par with opening the Gate of Death, but without the fatal cost.
Becoming a Super Saiyan would mean achieving that overwhelming might without dying.
The idea thrilled him.
"Hum…"
Guy closed the manga and felt the world shift around him.
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing atop the Karin Tower, at the dwelling of the gods.
He looked around. The place was quiet—until a familiar voice echoed in his ear.
"Yo! You the Saiyan who came here to train with me?"
Guy turned toward the sound and saw none other than Son Goku standing there with his trademark smile.
"You can talk to me?"
Guy's eyes widened in disbelief. In all the previous manga worlds, he had never been able to interact with the characters.
But this time—it was different!
This was Su Li's newest system upgrade: after surpassing ten thousand total readers, he had unlocked an interactive permission function.
"My friend! I can finally talk to you!"
Guy rushed forward and hugged Goku enthusiastically.
Only the heavens knew how long he had wanted this!
Goku, ever warm-hearted, returned the hug. Their personalities resonated instantly—two blazing suns meeting for the first time.
"So… how do we start?"
After they separated, Guy asked eagerly.
He understood the theory of becoming a Super Saiyan—but he wasn't a pure Saiyan, just a human who'd inherited a trace of Saiyan power through Su Li's manga. And this wasn't the Dragon Ball world—it was the Naruto world.
Could such a transformation even happen here?
Whether it could or not didn't matter much to him. Just being able to talk to Goku was already worth it.
"Hmm… not sure how to explain it," Goku said, scratching his chin. "Probably by fighting, right?"
"Fighting?" Guy blinked.
"Yeah! We Saiyans get stronger the more we fight. You should know that already!"
"Of course! Every time a Saiyan survives a near-death experience, their power skyrockets!"
"Exactly."
Goku nodded. "But it's not something you can abuse. You can't just almost die every day and expect to get stronger forever. You might not survive one of those times."
Guy chuckled awkwardly. "That's… fair."
If it worked endlessly, Vegeta would've broken the universe by now. You couldn't just keep beating yourself half to death and eating senzu beans until you turned into a god.
"Anyway," Goku continued, "to become a Super Saiyan, you need three things: enough S-cells, a strong base combat level, and emotional control."
"You don't have many S-cells yet, but your personality's right for it. The challenge for you is building up your basic fighting strength."
Goku's eyes gleamed as he clenched his fist.
"Saiyans don't need to be on the verge of death to grow stronger. As long as we keep fighting, we keep improving! So—"
He grinned, pointing at Guy.
"All you have to do… is fight me!"
"Fight until you can transform into a Super Saiyan!"
Guy's blood ignited like wildfire. His eyes burned with passion, and his fists tightened in excitement.
A chance to battle Son Goku himself—what could be more youthful than that?
