Chapter 1278 Kakarot

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief as Piccolo Daimaō dissipated. Goku wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at Sasuke and Naruto, saying, "I didn't expect the three of us to be so powerful together." Sasuke's lips curled into a slight smile. "Hmph, this is just the beginning. There are even stronger enemies waiting for us in the future." Naruto jumped up excitedly, "That's right! We must become stronger and protect everyone!"

Just then, a strange light appeared in the sky, and a mysterious figure emerged from it. The mysterious figure looked at them coldly and said, "You think you're safe after defeating Piccolo Daimaō? How naive!" It turned out that Piccolo Daimaō was just a small fry; a far more powerful evil force lay behind him. The mysterious figure waved his hand, and a powerful force swept towards them. Goku, Sasuke, and Naruto quickly assumed their fighting stances, ready to meet the new challenge. They knew that this battle was far from over, and the road ahead was full of hardships and dangers, but they were fearless and determined to join hands and fight against evil together.

The mysterious figure's power surged forward like a tidal wave. Sun Wukong roared and charged forward, launching a flying kick at the mysterious figure. Sasuke swiftly formed hand seals, unleashing the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, a massive fireball hurtling towards the mysterious figure. Naruto, meanwhile, gathered his Rasengan and followed closely behind. The mysterious figure smiled contemptuously, dodging their attacks with a flash, then retaliated with a backhand strike, sending them flying several meters back.

"Is that all you've got? You think you can fight us?" the mysterious man mocked. Just as they were struggling, a familiar figure suddenly appeared—it was Kakashi. Kakashi, wielding the Lightning Blade, charged towards the mysterious man. "I'm here to help you!" With Kakashi's arrival, they readjusted their tactics, and the four of them worked together seamlessly, gradually stabilizing the situation. Seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, and he prepared to unleash an even stronger attack. Goku and the others knew that this fierce battle had only just begun, and they had to go all out to defeat the vanguard of this evil force behind the scenes—the mysterious man. The mysterious man formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Instantly, countless black shadows appeared around them, rushing towards them like ghosts. Goku instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan, his body radiating golden light, shattering the shadows with a single punch. Sasuke activated his Sharingan, unleashing the Chidori Spear, weaving through the shadows like lightning. Naruto enlarged his Rasengan and hurled it at the densest part of the shadows. Kakashi was not to be outdone; his Lightning Blade crackled with electricity as he moved swiftly through the shadows.

However, the mysterious man's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and they gradually found themselves unable to withstand them. Just then, the mysterious man suddenly vanished, followed by a sinister laugh from behind Goku and the others. It turned out that the mysterious man had teleported behind them and conjured a massive energy ball in his hands, which he slammed down towards them. At the critical moment, a figure appeared in front of them—Vegeta! Vegeta roared, raising his hands to catch the energy ball. "Hmph, don't think you're the only ones who can fight," Vegeta said. With Vegeta's addition, their confidence soared, and they once again engaged the mysterious man in a fierce battle.

This mysterious person's real name is Kakarot.
