Chapter 4

"Where? I can't see anyone." Bulma said.

"He should appear soon. What happened to your eye sight?" Kaito said.

Then an old man with a staff and a pig wearing clothes arrive at the shore on the same sea turtle.

"Who are you grandpa?" Goku asks.

"Hi, I am called the Turtle Hermit. Nice to meet you. I heard you helped my turtle here. Thanks for that." the hermit says.

He turns to his turtle and asks it "Who helped you?"

"The kid was the one who helped the most but, that man there also helped me. He was the one who gave me water and found me when I fainted." the turtle said, pointing at Kaito and Goku.

"Oh, good good. Let me give you both a gift." the hermit said and was thinking what to give them when Bulma suddenly shouts "What are you doing you dirty pig?"

Immediately when she finished saying this, she kicks the pig and sends it flying towards the hermit. The hermit catches the pig.

"What happened?" Goku asked.

"He was trying to look under my shirt. What a pervert." Bulma said.

The hermit asked the pig "Oolong, I see you made the first move. So, did you get to see anything?"

Oolong the pig replies with a disappointed look "No. She sent me flying before I could get a peak."

Kaito glares at the hermit. He senses Kaito's gaze and says "How about I give you the Kintoun. If you can use it or not depends on you. Only if you have a good heart will it let you sit on it." to avoid his gaze.

He looks at the sky and shouts "Come to me Kintoun." and a yellow cloud flies towards them.

As expected, Goku is able to sit on it and he is very happy with his gift.

The hermit looks at Kaito and asks "Aren't you going to try and sit on it?"

Kaito shakes his head sideways and replies "I know what I have done. I won't be able to sit on it."

Kaito looks at the dragon ball in the hermit's neck and asks "You are going to give me too right. So, can you give me that ball in your neck?"

"This, I can give it but, do you know what it is used for?" the hermit asks.

Then Goku appears in front of the hermit and explains about the dragon balls.

"Oh, I can give it but, I want something else in exchange for it." The hermit says.

"Didn't you just say you would give a gift. Ok, I have a perfect gift for you." Kaito says and takes out a capsule from his pocket.

When he clicked it, it burst and 10 books fell from it.

The hermit looks at them and opens his eyes wide with shock. He says "Is this.... is this really the 'In search for paradise' series?"

The pig Oolong also freaks out when he heard the name. He says "There are only 20 sets of copies of this series. This series is so famous that each book is worth a hundred million zeni.

Every new book is auctioned and every men goes crazy about them. "

The hermit picks them up and asks Kaito "Aren't there only 8 volumes of this series? How do you have 10? Did you steal it from somewhere."

"So, is this enough for the ball?" Kaito asked.

"That would depend on your answer." the hermit says with a serious face.

"Why do I need to steal them when I am the writer of the series." Kaito said.

"WHAT" the hermit and Oolong shout together.

"Yes. I am the author of that series. Is it enough now? The last two books are supposed to release next year. If you sell them at that time, you can be rich." Kaito said.

The hermit immediately pulled out the ball and hands it to Kaito.

Kaito reaches out to take the ball when suddenly, his hand falls down (it didn't detach and fall).

His right hand was similar to the hand of someone with a broken arm. The hermit asks "What happened?"

"Nothing" he replies and takes the ball with his other hand.

Bulma also asks "What happened to your arm?"

"Nothing, this happens frequently. It will go back to normal after some time." Kaito says nand starts walking towards the forest.

"Where are you going?" Bulma asks, noticing the pained expression on his face, which Kaito tried to hide.

"I will be back in a while. You stay here and wait for me." Kaito said and ran into the woods.

When he felt that he was far enough from them, Kaito stops at a place and leans against a tree.

He spits out blood and grips his chest with his left hand. "Argh! I can't bear this pain. I need to learn how to use this quirk as soon as possible." Kaito said.

He coughs up more blood and then, he holds his right hand with his left palm.

The right hand disintegrates and returns back to normal again. Kaito moves his right hand says "Working normally for now. I can't believe I have to do this everyday. I didn't do it last night because Bulma was with me the whole night. Got to manage this somehow."

Kaito then returns back to the beach and meets up with Bulma and Goku.

Bulma hugs Kaito and asks "Are you really fine?"

"Yes. Even my hand is working properly now." Kaito said.

The hermit looks at them and says "Youngsters these days."

Kaito then asked the hermit "Where did you meet that pig and when?" as he knew they shouldn't be together at this point of the story.

"We met at a strip club. We both went there at the same time to enjoy. That's how we met. I think it was two years ago. Why do you want to know about us?" the hermit asked.

"No reason at all. Just casually asked. Bye" Kaito said they left towards the next dragon ball on Bulma's bike while Goku rode on his Kintoun.
